50 Best American Restaurants in Irvine

“It's worth your while to come and experience it.“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

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

“YUMmmmmmmm & thank you!!! Burnt out single mama here, that has prepared way too many meals for myself and my son 😅 & needed something wholesome! The avocado burger & fries wow, & the quinoa avocado bowl with beets, pickled onions, cabbage & some kind of yummy sauce de-fu€king- licious! 🙌💛🙌“

“This place is amazing. I go with with SHORT RIB MELT every time, the BEST sandwich I have ever had!!“

“Freddy’s is a fantastic cafe in Irvine. It’s close to the airport and 405 freeway, located next to Colab space on the lower level parking garage. You can also park at Colab Space and walk over—it’s directly next door.

I ordered the BLTA and my mom and sister both got sandwiches as well. The quality was excellent and the service was even better! Prices were very affordable—especially for Irvine. The sourdough bread was so good-I recommend it.

Freddy is a wonderful person who cares about his customers and the quality of his food. I didn’t get to try the coffee or matcha, but I’ll definitely get it next time.

Bonus: Freddy also offers catering! I’m hosting a party at Colab Space (highly recommended as well), so this makes party planning even more convenient!“

“Best comfort food ever! The thing I miss about living in California the most is the spaghetti grilled cheese at Burnt Crumbs. It will change your life. I would order three at a time and eat half a sandwich each day for lunch. If you guys wanna franchise in Detroit let me know lol 💯 💯 🔥 🔥“

“The course is clean. Easy to score and play the ball. Love it.“

“The hotel is clean and hygienic. Quiet on vacation. Like🥰🥰“

“Had an amazing family dinner with my sisters here . The Food was delivered quickly and was delicious. Carrot cake is fabulous we ordered the 2 half garlic chicken and full rack family meal which comes with your choice of pasta , salad bread sticks. Added their yummy mashed potatoes also bbq salad with delicious dressing my favorite.“

“Great food, highly recommend the fried chicken. Servers are fantastic.“

“Great food and service! Food allergy friendly too. Yummy burgers and fries. Jesse provided excellent service. My child has allergies. He took the time to review the menu allergen and check with the kitchen staff. Jesse and the team’s conscientiousness allowed my to enjoy a safe and delicious meal.

“Wonderful time with grandson“

“If you stay here, ask for Stacey at the bar. Her customer service, pleasant disposition and ability to make you feel safe, celebrated and served is second to none. Best espresso martini and an original maitai to die for. You've gotta do happy hour. You've got to get to know her. Best thing about my visit. Really enjoyed this hotel and the bar!!“

“Nice atmosphere, kind staffs and excellent foods. Steak is recommended especially chimichurri sauce was really good. Salmon with miso was also good. Menu is attached because it is hard to find the menu from their homepage.

In addition, for dining people, parking can be validated through their own parking lot.“

“Never been to lazy dog before tonight and the food was really good. We recommend this restaurant. Buffalo Grove,IL“

“I had been eating lunch there for over eight years before our office relocated. The prices are great, the staff is friendly and remembers your preferences, and the food is both tasty and cleanly prepared. Order ahead from their app would help you skip the lunch time wait.“

“Nice comfortable stay for business trip or in passing through to another location. Property smelled nice and felt very nice, clean, strong AC throughout. The room was well designed and very comfortable for our family of 3 staying in a King with sofa pull out. Very nice touch that the kitchen faucet was filtered water. The only downside if there is one is that the lobby area was a bit small for the breakfast area but it was fine during the week, I would imagine it could be a bit crammed on a busy weekend. Breakfast was adequate and a nice change from the typical free breakfast by offering made to order eggs and one sweet item (crepes). I would consider staying again if I was in the area.“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“Great servers! Good food!“

“Great Food and atmosphere! Mosic was our server and he was awesome. Asked what we were into for both food and cocktails and his recommendations were spot on. The Panama Prescription was divine and I loved the shrimp and grits. My husband had the 12 hour short rib and I can’t tell you which was better. We will be back with friends!“

“Most of the time, they have a good selection of food that tastes decent. They occasionally host event days featuring special dishes, which is a nice touch. However, it gets very busy around lunchtime, which is inconvenient because I often have to sit outside where there are many flies. Overall, the meal plans are quite expensive for the quality of food provided; in reality, you are paying for the convenience, with the ‘all-you-can-eat’ aspect being a nice bonus. My suggestion would be to add more indoor seating and rearrange the layout, as it is currently quite disorganized. Some areas become way too crowded, making it difficult to navigate through the space to get food during peak hours.“

“Great food, nice clean place and fun atmosphere, I also like that we can eat outside. Great service!“

“This Marriott hotel eatery felt calm and open, with valet service right at arrival. The space had a relaxed, airy energy, especially on a quiet Wednesday night.

Our attendant was kind, present, and made the entire meal feel smooth. Dishes arrived quickly, which we liked, as a few noisy kids were running around.

The food was truly pleasing. The sprouts had rich flavor, though a little oily. The thin-crust pizza was great for sharing, with plenty of tasty toppings. The star of the night was the ocean fish—cooked to perfection and paired extremely well with the greens on the side.

I would return again, especially if friends stay at the hotel.“

“Great atmosphere and great service and good value.“

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“

“Great food and easy going vibe“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch combo special that included two sliders, 1/2 house salad, and a side (sweet potato fries). It was delicious, and a ton of food. Our bartender was super friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend this place if you're in Irvine.“

“Great service and amazing food“

“This place is awesome! The gentleman that operates it gave us free samples and more dumplings than we ordered. Not to mention, absolutely delicious! We are so glad we found it. The wings were amazing my wife said they were best wings she has ever had. Will be back soon“

“没事过来吃个牛排，味道很好，装修也不错，吃的很爽“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. I also really liked the atmosphere, it felt modern, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The hidden speakeasy concept is such a fun and unique touch. It makes the experience feel much more memorable than just going out for dinner.

It also seems like it may be Asian-owned, and I’d love to see more businesses like this. Great food, creative ideas, and excellent execution. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“From the moment you walk in, Flora greets you with a smile. My server Lizzy, was great and kind. The cooks deserve praise for a fast, tasty food experience. And last, but not least, Tony, the floor manager made it all come together. Thanks, folks.“

“wonderful food - never had a bad meal here. Their lentil soup is fantastic.“

“Love a quick visit to Sessions. The fries are yummy and portions are generous.“

“They have yummy salads and bowls. Their veggies are fresh and organic. So far I have been able to avoid their ‘junk’ food offerings such as burgers and chickn sandwiches, fries, etc. menu offers healthy stuff and portions are bigger than they used to. Loving their reward app too.“

“Had a great time having dinner with the steak was juicy and tender with an amazing great taste.“

“This was our second year in a row hosting The Joyful Gala, and it was every bit as amazing as the first! The venue offers exceptional value for the lovely setting and the quality of the food. The location couldn't be more convenient and guests arrive at the top of the beautiful grounds feeling transported to a serene farm with plenty of parking that is free to your guests. There is ample outdoor space for the silent auction, mingling, and photo ops. The big red barn is full of character and charm, yet so versatile that it feels fresh and different each year. Alison is lovely to work with from the initial planning to every detail in the execution of the event. The catering and service staff are warm, responsive, and attentive to our guests expectations. For the quality of the space, service, and overall experience, the value is unbeatable. We look forward to coming back!“

“when they're at 11:00 a.m.. It was wonderful that my husband could get his chicken fried steak and I can get the bourbon chicken. Best of both worlds! very very very good“

“This is a family owned establishment that truly puts the meaning to the phrase ‘Hidden Gem’. The food is prepared fresh and comes out hot. The best way to describe the menu and meals here is homestyle. I could eat here everyday. Everything is good. Prices are also better than any fast food. 11/10.“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“

“Great quality food, typical of what you would expect from an american restaurant. Great selection of beer, basic cocktails. The menu is simple, yet covers everyones tastebuds. You will for sure find something you like. The non alcoholic drink selection is lacking (5 mocktails, refresher, and minute made lemonade)“

“Hands down the absolute best place for quality of service and unbelievably tasty food. The steak, the fish, the vegetarian dishes are all beyond excellent. And the ambiance indoors and out is memorable. This is not merely a restaurant, it is an event.“

“Visited Georgia’s Restaurant at the Anaheim Packing House when I visited California, food is unreal 😍 can’t wait to visit again when I’m next in the US“

“Best apartment in Irvine“

“FYI…description for Philly cheesesteak reflects turkey sandwich on website site so I mistakenly ordered Philly but wanted the turkey. I normally wouldn’t order the Philly but it was yummy. Definitely recommend and look forward to trying the turkey next time.“
