43 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Irvine

“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.“

“Service is quick and friendly. I order regular fries and got a fruit cup. The fruit is always fresh and the fries are nice a crispy. Plus they have all the soccer game at the bar which is a big plus for entertainment. Hopefully they will play all the games for the World Cup 2026.“

“Delicious way for us to end our trip in LA before going to the airport! I ordered chilaquiles with steak and hashbrowns and it was divine. My friend also enjoyed his meal, which was an omelet with veggies and hollandaise. Our waitress was nice and attentive too!
Pricey but very good - I also have to remember everything in CA is more pricey so maybe a $21 breakfast plate is tyoical. I'd come again though.“

“This is my favorite breakfast place in Orange County. They make the best buttermilk pancakes and fluffy omelets. Their meats are great, as well as their fresh corned beef hash. I especially like how nice their staff is. Today, Leslie greeted me. Angie was my server, and Dominic came by to make sure everything was up to my standard. I also like the music. The vibe here is so fun. Only come here if you like having fun, good food and outstanding service. Thanks Dominic!“

“Excellent food. I had the French toast breakfast with a side of hash browns and tea. Everything was fresh and fantastic tasting. The quality and price cannot be found elsewhere.

My partner had the cheese omelette on a croissant plus pancakes and it was mouth watering.

“The food was great, and the place looked beautiful, however there was one weird thing about it. Throughout us eating here, there were these random animals that kept coming up to us. At first it was fine, just like ducks and chipmunks, but then i started seeing mice? It just kinda weirded me out, but then we saw a tiger and a bear?! I just can’t believe they let these animals into the restaurant.“

“Delicious and very nice set of menu“

“This was a great breakfast place. I ordered regular breakfast. The hash browns were amazing. I definitely preferred the sausage over the bacon but the bacon was still good. Coffee was also good. My husband got the shrimp and grits and really liked it. Menu had a lot of other good stuff we will be back to try.“

“We been here before and thought we would try it again. Service started out great, then took a while to get our check. The food selection is nice, and I had a hard choice on what to get. I got the albondigas soup, and it was very good and recommend it.

Parking: Parking lot is small and can be difficult to find a spot depending on time of day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“To be honest, I had the Biscuits and gravy breakfast combo with two sausages, two bacon two eggs and over easy eggs ..

It was the super dry bisquit band the
absolutely no other flavour then flour , gravy that ruined the meal. I honestly suspect that bisquit was on day 5. And the "gravy" was just warmed up flour and water. $18.99 USD,. for something Canadians pay avéage $15.00 for CAD“

“exelentes cheesecake todo rico😍“

“Had an absolutely amazing experience at IHOP today! The service was beyond exceptional. Our waitress was so attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed with a smile. It’s rare these days to find people who genuinely care about their customers, but she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated.

The manager also took the time to check in on us, making sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they care about creating a wonderful experience for their guests. In a world where great service can be hard to find, IHOP absolutely nailed it. We felt valued and taken care of from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back! ?“

“good coffee drinks. Fast Service. Friendly staff. Food was basic coffee shop.“

“24/7 not expensive american food in front of disney.

It’s there, always. Left disney at 11 PM, hungry and running out of options?

This IHOP will be open
Service is good. They have someone make wonderful balloons for kids at breakfast.
Portions are massive. We ordered 1 dish and it was well enough for 2 person

Food is ok. American food is basically flour, red meat and eggs, so par for the course“

“While staying in Huntington Beach this week we felt overwhelmed by the crowds so we went off in search of something off the beach neighborhood. My brother had told me about Norms so we decided to check it out. Parking was easy and once inside we walked in to a short wait that ended up being longer because they seemed to have no hostess. Once seated by what ended up being our waiter our drink order was taken and of course our food moments after. Portions were good size and our waiter was great. They may want to spray for ants though. Halfway through our meal we saw quite a few tiny ones making their way in through the window seal. Other than that place was clean. You pay up front when you’re done.“

“Quick and got there early enough to beat the crowd!“

“In this IHOP the food is very delicious and the staff is friendly, but they do take a long time, around 20 minutes to take the order, in our case more than 35 minutes to bring the dishes and by mistake 3 dishes were missing so we had to wait for others 20 minutes…it was too long. Also the noise of whoever lifts the plates from the table and takes them to the kitchen is too loud, I think that a little more care in these matters would make this branch better.

Kid-friendliness: on the menu

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible and is on only 1 level.“
