New American Restaurants near Foothill Ranch, CA

“I love this place. Every fish option i've tried here is always excellent. And friends with much more depth of wine experience than me, have mentioned that the wine list is top-notch as well. Stacey and the rest of the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!“

“Very quick service. Sandy was super helpful since I’ve never been here to this location and only had their food one other time. The salmon was a bit bland but cooked well (I must have got a different one last time I came) the mashed potatoes and asparagus were delicious“

“So I've ordered food here a few times, and I appreciate the friendly staff and wel prepared food.I especially appreciate the meticulous attention to the preparation of the salads here. The vegetables so far have been fresh, crisp, and tasty. (I ordered the kale quinoa salad and its cery tasty)My family say the French onion burgers are awesome and the chili fries here are delicious also. This place is also always clean and well staffed whenever I stop by, and online ordering is straight forward.“

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“Meh. General Manager is Persian and we were wondering if he is related to the famous singer & violinist, Bijan Mortezavi. This particular location was pretty busy. Some of the dishes we ordered were the brussel sprouts, bacon candy, edamame, buffalo wings, buffalo cauliflower, cajun fries and ahi tuna crispy rice.“

“We went here for dinner. It’s a laid back beach town atmosphere; a little loud but that’s to be expected in a beach town. It was peak rush hour and service was a little slow which we knew would happen. The food was very good. We had coconut shrimp, wagyu burger, mushroom and truffle pizza. All items were delicious. Reservation highly recommended, especially on weekends.“

“Chef's kiss! Food was amazing! My husband ordered a Vietnamese coffee and soufflé pancakes with a side of biscuits and gravy. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and a sausage breakfast burrito. So filling! You order at the counter and your food is brought to your number. Outdoor seating but it was such a beautiful sunny day which made the experience even better! Everyone was so polite and helpful especially since it was our first time and not knowing the menu. First timer and definitely a next timer!“

“This place is without a doubt one of the best sandwich restaurants I know in Orange County. Incredible, amazing service and phenomenal, delicious sandwiches. Makes me want to try everything on the menu. I'll certainly be coming back to continue to support Dad's.“

“This Irish pub is our frequent stop when we are in the mood for its authentic European food experience. A small patio makes for intimate dining, weather permitting. Heat lamps abound for more robust weather. It is not to be missed near St Patty's Day. The place bustles with good old Irish exuberance! Though extremely rushed, our waiter took his time with our large party of 9, and did not make a mistake when serving what everyone ordered. He even added accoutrements without our asking. Definitely stop by during St Patty's to have a rousing good time. And plan to drink a lot of Guinness!“

“What a lovely late lunch experience. Visiting family and arrived late looking for a bite to eat after a long drive. This was perfect, I love the concept of the box, and I ordered the recommended pulled pork (on gluten free bun) with 3 sides (spiced green beans, roasted carrots, seasonal salad). I thought everything was delicious. All the dishes had a home made quality to it which I adored. Vegetables tasted fresh (although carrots and beans were a bit over charred IMO, but the flavor was still yummy). The dressings and sauces complimented their respective dishes. I loved the gluten free bun as it was served warm, and the dough was light and fluffy. If I'm back in the area again I'll definitely be back.“

“Liam is an exceptional individual who consistently demonstrates a friendly and respectful demeanor. His genuine concern for others is evident in his interactions, and his expertise is widely recognized. It is clear that he is a valuable asset to the company.“

“This is the best burger in Orange County! The people working here are genuinely kind and helpful.The location isn't great but they should not deter you from trying this gem out!I suggest the Hole in the Wall Burger and the Carne Asada Fries.“

“This could be my new favorite spot, for meeting up with friends for a delicious meal. We met on a Sunday at 10:30, sat on the patio which was covered and shady but also with heaters. We had breakfast and I loved my avocado toast, I added a fried egg on top and it was perfect. Really peaceful & pleasant atmosphere with a beautiful view of the golf course, where we could hear each other talk. Really enjoyable, definitely will be going back!“

“I absolutely love black market meal prep. They have saved me so much time I have still allowed me to eat healthy while at work. As a first responder, I don’t always have time To go to a restaurant to eat, so having my food with me Makes my life easier. Between the chimichurri sauce, and the green salsa, I swear I could eat every meal with that. The service is always on point. I actually found a workaround for the straws because I love their smoothies and protein shakes but yes, they are a little bit thick for the straws. So I ended up bringing my own straw which are a little bit thicker. I bought them off of Amazon after California decided to make everything out of paper. Keep up the phenomenal work black market, I love your food and your service.“

“What a wonderful experience ! Had to come back after coming in I came in December when the lake had its Christmas tree lightening. I can't and have stopped talking about the bacon covered stuffed dates and how the food was hot and fresh in everything that was ordered. Yesterday I came in with someone who hasn't experienced and lives near the one in yorba linda. With the experience, atmosphere and delicious food he's making sure to attend his local. Miles our server was the absolute best!!! I mean just down right genuine! He was able to catch on with our humor and laugh. When you have employees like this it just makes experience being there and the people your with so much better. We also asked for his opinion on selections for our meal. Instead of saying "I don't know" he was able to pick something from each section in what he enjoys but also what other customers truly enjoy. Having this knowledge and able to share just puts a little more confidence in what you are choosing. I split the pastrami dip sandwich with my friend and we both found it down right delicious. the pickles on that amazing. The dipping sauce was amazing too and I couldn't decide to dip or not. My husband got the chipotle sandwich which was amazing especially the sauce. With that I will definitely be back-hopefully to get pictures next time- but also will be checking for miles to be our guy if he's working!“

“Our Place Lake Forest is a great neighborhood Bar/Restaurant. The staff is very friendly and they take good care of the customers. I host an Open Mic there on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday every Month. It is always Taco Tuesday when I am there. I get the Beria Tacos and they are delicious. Our Place has great music on many other nights. They also have comedy nights and are great supporters of the LGBTQ community. The owner cliff is a great guy and does an awesome job of running the place. I highly recommend Our Place.“

“The food was alright, but the service and drinks were next level. The bar tender Keona was super attentive and helpful, and our food runner Lily was thoughtful and extremely friendly.They made our experience a 10/10 and we will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family!!! Ive been to numerous Yard House locations around OC, but this one is definitely my favorite!!!“

“Great small restaurant with delicious food for affordable price. It was really cool to find this place during my Christmas shopping in Spectrum Mall. The service was fast, although there were many people. You should try their sandwiches, they taste great, especially when they’re warm.“

“I'm impressed with the many selections of entrees on their menu and the drink options as well. I ordered the veggie egg scramble (with egg whites) which came with potatoes and a yummy homemade biscuit. The house margarita was very good too but was a little small for me and on the saltier side. I love that the portions are generous and that when I asked for pico de gallo they returned with a big portion of that as well. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles entree, and although I am unable to enjoy dishes like hers I looked over and drooled a little. Lol Best part is our server was amazing!! John was so accommodating and always checked on us. His drink service was top tier.“

“By far my favorite sandwich here! The yogi is made perfect every time and go great with the rosemary fries. I was greeted eagerly upon arrival & was given recommendations on which beer to try by the nice young man, Angel. Will definitely continue coming here!“

“We've been coming here since it opened and it's always the best!Edit Feb 2023: Still the best! The Valentine's dinner on Friday was a blast, and Ari was an especially awesome server.Edit Apr 2024: Still the best! Wednesday night trivia is fantastic.“

“Let me talk about this place for a minute. First thing, great location and signage so it's easy to find, plenty of parking. Now let's go inside. Totally cool, casual feel. The smell of char burger and grilled onions catches your attention. Some decisions are easily made. But let's look at the menu...salads? Check. Sammiches? Check. Burgers? Double check! But wait, there's more. Plenty of choices for all, but not too many. Sides? Yep, those too. Salad, fries, sweet potato fries (highly recommend), all available. As you approach the register to place your order, you see a BEER AND WINE list. Now things are looking up. (Ok, sodas also, but I opted for a cold draft). Super friendly staff, great vibe inside if you'd like to dine indoors. A benefit I enjoyed was outdoor dining. Awesome outdoor covered dining, plenty of tables and chairs, along with HEATERS for those cold OC nights. Now more about the food...I chose the OG Stand Burger. It was done perfectly! Lettuce, but not too much. Tomato, fresh and red (no tomato butts here!). Grilled onions? Yep, mentioned earlier, a cant miss choice on a burger. Rounding things out were the fries. Perfectly crisp. No floppy or soggy. Stop by, grab a meal, relax and enjoy yourself.“

“After a long days work of watching friends and spouse at tennis camp, what better way to refuel than healthy salad and a filling sando? The restaurant has a pleasant sit down style layout with more cushy seats on the far wall, but we weren’t just looking for a place for its looks. Our cashier took our orders with lightning speed and we got our food in less than 10 minutes with 5 ppl ordering. Service to get seated was *chef’s kiss*. Wife ordered the steak chimichurri sando with home made buns and I got the keto salad with extra meat. HIT THE SPOT. After nearing food coma, we brought our plates back to its storage home for clean up near the exit, and went back home on our merry way. Would I come back here? You darn right I will.Let’s go!!“

“I came with my two daughters on Taco Tuesday, and WOW. Their tacos are chef's kiss. Not to mention, the drinks are phenomenal! The Mango Tea and Berry Spritz mocktails are delicious, and the house margarita is amazing. The carnitas tacos are to die for, and the shrimp is terrific. They're tender, and just wow. If you're into spicy food, you should definitely get the chipotle chicken taco. The servers are extremely nice people, and very polite. While the service is slightly slow, it is totally worth it! Overall, this place is amazing. I am definitely coming here regularly!“

“Definitely here for the view and access to the beach. Service was very good. Top deck was not packed with people but space is limited if you want that classic view of the sunset. The fish and chips were okay, the wedge salad definitely benefited by adding shrimp. The grilled octopus appetizer is exceptional. Over all good but not necessarily spectacular.“

“The brunch is excellent! The brunch serves breakfast as well as lunch items so if you stay long enough you get two meals out of it. Last week they had prime rib! The bottomless mimosas are actually very good - they don't taste like the cheap stuff. I can't wait to invite friends to discover this place and will for sure be coming here regularly.“

“The food was great! The lentil soup was thick and had a great flavor profile. The lamb burger is just as good as I remember. The only thing I was disappointed about was that they don't have a full dessert menu. We drove to the Tustin café for the dessert we were craving.“

“Good service, food was good except the burgers need to be cooked to order and not hurried. My wife had to send hers back. Scenery was nice but don't broadcast football games, it's a rock star dedication and should be left at that.“

“Came here to meet my friends to see a band that was playing and had a couple of beers and was so surprised what a hidden gem this place is. Yes it's not a trendy upscale place but I found it refreshing to see older crowd having so much fun dancing singing audience participation was there even someone jumped in and played a sax. I didn't have food but next time will try as I only heard it was decent.“

“Deanne and Jose were fabulous servers. The quiet atmosphere was so nice and refreshing. Happy Hour was great, the food and drinks were a great deal kand we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good and we will definitely come back to try other options!“
