50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Foothill Ranch

“Hi. I was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had fish with shrimp (creole on top) . I sat in the bar & the waitress was nice but I asked her if the entry was spicy & she reassured me it was not spicy. Well, it DID have a big kick to it & I could only eat about 1/3 of it because of that. She never came back soon after she served it to ask me how it was or I would have told her it WAS spicy. Your caesar salad was DELICIOUS & I highly recommend it. And your cheesecake with raspberry topping was good too. Had a glass of wine also. Sorry but I won't be back because the entry I ordered was spicy & told it wasn't . That was disappointing.“

“Best of the Best Bravo Avo Greek & Mediterranean Restaurant! Great food and Excellent service 👏❤️❤️👏 RECOMAND 🎂🎉🍨🎊“

“Amazing smoothie bowls, lots of choices for great toppings! Very healthy. 🌱“

“I recently had the pleasure of discovering Mustard Cafe & Grill in Foothill Ranch, and what a delightful little gem it is! From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was incredibly inviting—peaceful and soothing, making for a truly relaxing dining experience.

The service was outstanding; our server, Maria, was simply wonderful. Her genuine smile and professional yet kind demeanor truly lit up the place, ensuring we felt well cared for throughout our visit. Everything came out perfectly, and it’s clear the staff takes immense pride in their work.

I opted for a custom three-egg omelet filled with spinach, tomato, avocado, and Swiss cheese, served alongside perfectly cooked potatoes and delicious sourdough toast. It was absolutely fantastic, clearly prepared with care. I also tried their avocado toast, which was a definite highlight, and the coffee was excellent—a perfect complement to the meal.

It’s easy to see why this spot is highly recommended. With plenty of parking available, a fantastic menu offering great breakfast and lunch choices, and an owner with a wonderfully positive attitude, Mustard Cafe & Grill is now firmly on my list of favorite places. I initially came for breakfast but am already planning my return for lunch. This cafe truly excels in every aspect – food, service, and ambiance.“

“One of my all time favorite places. The people and management make It like “friends” but with a really unreal grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Get the soup with the sandwich. Add bacon. That is all.“

“My best friend and I had lunch there today. The food was excellent, my dirty martini was perfect (and much needed!), and our server, Jacob, was fabulous. We made a pact that we will meet there at least once a month. Thank you for a great afternoon! 🍸“

“The food is incredibly delicious!“

“Great coffee, and also a great place to just relax and get reading done 😊“

“My fiancé and I eat here all the time. There is a lot of variety, and the dishes are flavorful! I really love their chicken club sandwich and cheeseburger, but you really can’t go wrong with anything you choose. Staff is super friendly and helpful as well - shoutout to Lali and Nathan for providing amazing service!“

“The Mediterranean menu at Fennel is simply a cut above the rest! We especially like their pesto hummus with pita wedges as an appetizer... MMMMmmm, delicious! And our kabob platters are always flavorful, moist, and tender. Our OpentTable reservation guarantees immediate seating, and our server was cheerful and attentive. Thank you Fennel for another wonderful dining experience!“

“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!“

“I have to say, this is the most extraordinary breakfast I've ever experienced. Each dish was incredibly unique, bursting with flavors that melded together beautifully. The presentation was stunning, and it was evident that a lot of thought went into creating this meal. From the perfectly cooked eggs to the artisanal bread and the fresh, vibrant fruits, every bite was a delightful surprise. The combination of tastes and textures was simply incredible, making it not just a meal, but a culinary adventure.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“Nice place, the real Brazilian açaí ☀️“

“Nice experience here at Chuponcito in Aliso Viejo, Ca. Party of two on a Sunday around 10:30 am. Wait was about 10 minutes as we waited in line to order our food.

It was starting to get crowded. Limited parking lot spaces, limited inside seating. Inside and outside seating available.

Clean restaurant, enjoyable background music, and friendly staff.

I did love their Banana Latte, it was sweet enough to not be too sweet. The food was good. My wife loved their sopes. I just had an omelette.

My omelette was good, just not filling. A bit disappointed there, but maybe I just eat too much!

Try it out if you are around the area!“

“Halal spot ; Dizzy Bird is located in a mall, specialize in rotisserie chicken and also offer wraps, which looked pretty good. I went for their whole rotisserie chicken meal with 2 sides — it was around $35. A bit pricier than nearby spots, but considering it’s halal (and halal options are usually limited), it makes sense.

The chicken itself was super juicy, tender, and full of flavor — definitely the highlight of the meal. As for the sides, I tried the fries and rice. They were just okay — not bad, but nothing memorable either.

Overall, solid choice if you’re craving halal rotisserie chicken. I’d come back for the chicken alone!“

“We ran in with only 15 minutes to eat before our movie and asked if they could serve us quickly. We ordered and the food was in front of us hot and ready in two minutes. Really delicious. They even plopped a complimentary mango pudding on our table! Definitely worth your money“

“Each dish is spectacular. Love the calamari ….can be an appetizer to share or eat on your own with a salad. 230:Forest Avenue never disappoints!!!“

“The place is in a great location sit here have your coffee course go bye you can see the mountains. The service is amazing for food. Amazing you recommended by me and many of my friends and family. They even have organic food, which is awesome and gluten-free.“

“We discovered this place when visiting Laguna in February…. So glad we did! Love the owners and what they represent. Loved so much we purchased a monthly subscription so we can enjoy their amazing coffee all the way in Alabama!“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“Aurelia (Manager) & Manny provided amazing customer service that exceeded any I have received at a restaurant in a very long time! I had an issue with my order and they went above and beyond to speak with their team, circle back to me, and address the issue. The food was delicious, as well. I will return here!“

“This food truck is tucked in the same lot as George’s Episcopal Church. Pro tip: map the church so you don’t get lost. There are several eateries in that lot, but don’t get distracted just look for the green food truck and you’ll know you’ve found the right spot!

I came here right after my workout and ordered food to go. OMG, I had no idea the tacos were humongous! They are literally the size of my palm spread out! Jeeesuz!

I ordered three tacos:

Gobernador: I didn’t get to it until the next day, but the shrimp were so big and juicy, and that Chipotle aioli? Pure genius. I could put that on everything!
Octopus: The only one I ate fresh that day and oh my goodness, flavor explosion! The melted cheese, the seasoning, the texture… everything about it is 10/10!
Spicy Shrimp: I accidentally doubled up on shrimp tacos so I saved this one for the next day too, still delicious, still worth it.

Service can take a little while since there’s only one person taking orders and they’re cooking everything fresh in the truck, but trust me , it’s absolutely worth the wait!

Who would’ve thought a little food truck could make such a big impact? Don’t sleep on this hidden gem please come and taste the goodness for yourself!“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“Had a great meal and wine with friends. We did have to ask for olive oil and vinegar after they brought us the wonderful rosemary bread, but hey, no biggie. Otherwise, service was great!!“

“Can’t say enough good things about the food at Nep! We started with spicy wontons, perfectly light and crispy calamari, and a shrimp salad with fish sauce dressing. All absolutely outstanding. The pork tomahawk with nuoc cham was cooked to perfection, and the garlic noodles are the best I’ve had since Crustacean. To top it off, the bread pudding is the best I’ve tasted outside of New Orleans (and I’m from New Orleans!). We can’t wait to return.“

“Amazing food and the staff were so incredibly nice! I keep telling everyone about it. I’m coming BACK.“

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃“

“This place is super cute and perfect to take the kids, family, or date for a sweet delight. They even serve homemade affordable meals.

We enjoyed a lunch date here which consisted of:
Purple rice yogurt (most popular dessert)
mango pomelo yogurt (my favorite)
Strawberry probiotic tea (so refreshing and easy to drink)
Pineapple coconut jelly
Bbq wings
steam dumplings (half the price of Din Tai Fung and still good!)
lobster ball (I love lobster)
popcorn chicken
braised pork with rice (my favorite dish here)“

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!“

“I love their cookies so muchh!! The workers are amazing and the cookies are always warm and tasty😼😼

Dietary restrictions: I have a peanut/nut allergy and i haven't had an allergic reaction yet, even when they have peanut cookies“

“they always change their menu. we drive down here from irvine to find out what we like ismt on the menu today its only on the menu on certain days we asked the server when is it on the menu and he didnt know. We won't be back. how hard is it to keep the menu the same? I can see lunch and dinner menus but changin the dinner menus all the time?“

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“The Chili Fries, and the Stand Burger is the Best.“

“This is the best Hawaiian Breakfast location in Laguna Niguel!! Well done!“

“I love coming to this location. My go to meal is the chicken and koobideh plate. Every time I order it it taste so good and fresh. Their service is great, they have a good attitude and the food is always ready pretty fast.“

“We had a beautiful meal and noise level has gone way down due to new elements on ceiling. The service was impeccable. Attentive but didn't rush us. I tried the spinach salad with added shrimp for first time as wanted something lighter. It was amazing with warm vinegar dressing. The salmon special was also excellent. Without asking our waiter brought out a tiramisu to share as noticed we were celebrating a birthday. This was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had including those in Italy!“

“Best Indian restaurant for delicious Indian food in Orange County.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Never fails!“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“you’re looking for a place that still serves good old-fashioned breakfast, Snooty Fox is the spot! The food is delicious, made with that classic homemade taste, and the portions are just right. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and always carry positive vibes that make the experience even better. Definitely a great place to start your morning!“

“Local diner, perfect for a weekend meal. Various coffee, decent menu selection, nice staff.

We ordered the eggs Benedict and a Lake Forest burrito. Both portions were perfect, maybe on the big side for some. Quality of the food was great, possibly all scratch made.

It's a nice place for breakfast with a mellow atmosphere.“

“Best French pastries and bread anywhere! This place is amazing and the staff and owner are nothing less than exceptional.“

“Very good ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from“

“Fun place to spend a Saturday night listening to LIVE music or any night watching a football game! Good food, too!“

“This place has such consistently good food. they don’t have interior seating, but they do have some outdoor seats. Typically I just come here for food pick ups. The panko chicken is my favorite. Something about their rice flavoring makes it so much better as well. Overall it’s a solid place for a healthy great tasting meal.“
