22 Best Diners near Irvine

“The first time I went to Denny’s was 2016 in Sacramento .. and it was the last time .. today for some reason Denny’s kept popping up in my google maps .. I didn’t know what to order I got anxious from the number of items on the menu .. started to get hypo so I ordered A LA CART .. I forgot when was the last time I had good pancakes .. each bites feels like a hug .. fluffy and warm .. i went through the scrambled eggs faster than flash .. and the French toast reminded me of how my mom used to make them .. perfect morning ❤️“

“We were hungry from walking Dowtown Disney and stopped in for lunch. Our server, Darren M, was courteous and took great of us. Our meals came quickly, which was appreciated due to our cranky child, and were plenty hot. No complaints and glad we stopped.“

“Had a great experience thanks to our server maricela she provided the best service I've had there thus far! Very friendly attentive to our wants and needs constantly checking up on us she made our dinner so delightful hope to see her next time we stop by!“

“Came in late with a friend to eat since we had the munchies and Maria our server welcomed us with a smile and didn’t have an attitude at the time we came in the establishment. She was very attentive and always checked up on us to make sure everything was ok. On the side the food was delicious. I got a Cali club sandwich with seasoned fries and a strawberry banana smoothie which I would highly recommend??“

“mason is such a wonderful server, was having such a bad day before deciding too dine here, but thank god I did, because the food was fablulous, manager danny was very kind and masons attitude and kindness is something that is so missing today, we will be back.“

“Shake shack pretty much epitomizes what a beachside Socal-OC day should feel like. Beautiful, relaxing view of the Pacific paired with a classic shake or malt and diner type eats.Highly recommend parking towards the north end of Crystal Cove State Park and walking either the cliffside trail or beach and enjoy the sun as you walk down towards Shake Shack. And that you try to come when it’s not so busy. This way you don’t have to wait in a ridiculously long line on PCH for a lot that has a dozen parking spaces. The food is pretty standard and most people come for the great shakes. The Date shake seems to be really popular but I’ve yet to try it“

“Excellent service, I loved the food I recommend it Thank you very much Jennifer you made ofrece Day with your friendly service and the big smile Shayla keep our Coffee full and drinks , coffee was fresh and Hot the food was also really good Thanks Dennys We will come back“

“Our waiter Lam was wonderful from the moment we were seated. She brought a lot of energy to the table. If I'm back around this area, I hope I get her as a waiter again. The food was also fire and it hit especially since it was early morning food.“

“This is a great Denny’s, conveniently located in the Anaheim Resort area, steps away from the Convention Center and a short hop from Disneyland. My server Yesenia C was incredibly friendly and efficient. She made my dining experience truly enjoyable. In fact, all the staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming! If you’re looking for a good value, tasty food and a friendly staff, this Denny’s is for you! (Sorry, no food pics - I ate it too quickly!)“

“I have never been disappointed after eating here. This has become my go to for classic American diner food over the past year. The portion sizes are perfect, the prices are more than fair, and the staff is always friendly and quick. After trying nearly their whole breakfast menu I would recommend their chili cheese omelette or their pancakes.“

“After two days in the Magic Kingdom, we needed something different. My husband found this place on google, and I was unconvinced. However, it turned out to be AMAZING! Everything on the menu looked good, and the dishes we settled on couldn’t be beat! Server was personable and on top of everything! Whatever you do, try the Parmesan toast!! Thanks for a perfect dinner! Hope to be back next time we’re in the area!“

“We went to Disney for 3 days, this Denny's was in walking distance of our hotel and has an ART bus stop right out front to take you to the park. Every morning we were greeted by their friendly staff, enjoyed a filling breakfast and most importantly hot coffee. Frank and the crew took good care of us. Plus they are open 27/7.“

“They took an old Santa Fe train depot and converted it to a diner. Lots of seating. I judge diners on their bacon cheeseburgers. This place made fantastic ones. Thick, smokey bacon. Fresh beef. Crispy lettuce. Savory everything. Fries were so-so. Only two guys at the grill, but they hustled. All the staff hustled. There was not much of a wait between ordering and receiving the food. Amtrak and Metrolink trains zoom past the restaurant but they are not intrusive. Excellent all around.“

“Such a great experience here. Lupe is awesome and same with the manager, you will be in good hands at this Ruby's no question. I had a misunderstanding with a coupon that I clipped from the newspaper, but despite that they offered a compromise which was far beyond what I expected (especially for my mistake!), thank you to the wonderful staff we had a great time!“

“Great food, well priced and generous portions. Service is the real star of the show here, Crystal was our server with support of Chris they tended to our request with a smile and a welcoming attitude!This is now our go to when we are in town.Ed n Joyce“

Thank you to the front staff name Santiago and angel for always welcoming my family with a sincere smile. Also thank you to the waitress Juan for always being so nice and friendly.Kid-friendliness: I have two kids and they always give us a kids menu with a coloring book and crayons.“

“We love Ruby's! Especially this super special original location. We try to come in multiple times whenever we are in the area for a week or a month's time. The employees are fantastic! They are warm and friendly (even in inclement weather). They are so sweet to our children. They absolutely remember them even though I would not say we are technically regulars since our primary residence is currently out of state. I have been so impressed each and every visit. They always go out of their ways to ensure the kids have a great and memorable experience! This time they even gave the kids mini Mustang cobras to build out of cardboard & stickers with which they could decorate them. Thanks Ruby's for the fun and the positive vibes/great memories in the making. We truly love you guys (Melissa, Adrian, Victor & all the rest), and will continue to patronize this location every chance we get.“

“This charming diner exudes a nostalgic atmosphere with its quaint decor. The staff are delightful and welcoming. We enjoyed a straightforward breakfast from their menu. While not extraordinary, the food is satisfying, and the ambiance makes it a pleasant spot to start the day.“

“Woody's is a classic diner that delivers fresh quality classics at reasonable prices. Sandwiches are really no more expensive than most takeout places. They have a full bar including some local craft beers which I like. Service has always been efficient and often friendly. On our most recent visit the manager was on the floor and very involved. That's always a good sign for me.“

“I had breakfast at Woody's during a recent trip. OMG, if you want a fabulous treat that's not too unhealthy try the Paradise French toast! A huge portion of French toast sprinkled with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, coconut and powdered sugar! I'm pretty tiny but I wolfed down the entire thing, as my photos will attest! I was there for quite some time and the server was friendly and helpful, providing just the right amount of checking in on the meal. It's a diner so the ambience reflects that. It wasn't too noisy though. I never eat breakfast out so don't really have a comparison for the value. Parking was complementary and available and I was seated right away. But it definitely was a delicious treat which I highly recommend!“
