“Came here for a birthday lunch on a Wednesday. The lunch menu was very limited and I wish they included a seafood or fish option for a main option. Nonetheless, the food we ordered was delicious! We shared the steak and frites, Caesar salad, lemon bucatini, and classic cheesecake. The filet was incredibly tender - I loved the spice from the peppercorns. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the taste was great. The saltiness from the pork bits balanced so well with the lemon flavor. The Caesar salad was my least favorite. The dressing tasted a bit too fishy and the "croutons" were comparable to soft bread.. not crunchy enough. Lastly, the classic cheesecake was one of the best I've ever tasted. I had no complains about the service. Nonetheless, this restaurant's ambiance is incredible. I recommend you to make reservations, even for a weekday! We went right when it opened at 11am. The main dining room was full when we left around noon.“

“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!“

She was great in refilling our drinks, brining the tab and recommend us the lobster garrick noodles which were so good. Also the Garden Nachos were served in a large platter so it was enough for everyone to grab. Honestly great experience for our first time here.“

“Outstanding fried chicken. The Nashville style chicken sandwich was phenomenal, sweet tangy spicy sauce, and it’s so huge it’s nearly impossible to eat in the best way lol. You can choose your spice level with any item. Very generous portions, a whole box of chicken strips for 8 or 9 bucks. Highly recommend getting extra to take home and eat with syrup and waffles for brunch, you will not regret it.“

“This place is my new spot for Nashville hot chicken. Hands down the best Nashville hot chicken sandwich in OC. Given them a try and check out their menu for lunch and dinner. The place is fire. I recommend eating there or at the outdoor seating for the best experience. Take out option is still solid. The bird is spicy and flavorful and holds great.“

“Came here this morning around 10:30-11am. The people were great from the start. They were super welcoming and informative about the menu. I was kinda confused because they handed us 4 copies of the same menu LOL. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and the sweet heat cutlet. The friend that I was with said the biscuits and gravy were super good. I didn't try them because they really aren't my thing in general. I had the sweet heat cutlet. The chicken was cooked so perfect. However, the cheese did nothing for me except add a strange gamey texture. I ended up pulling it off as best I could. All of their sauces are homemade. Their ranch was super yummy. Overall the food and service were good and the ambiance is super trendy and whatnot but it was honestly a little overpriced. We got 2 entrees and 2 drinks and it was nearly $100 bucks. Not sure if we will be back.“

“Went here randomly by googling burgers nearby and boy were we pleasantly surprised. It was nice and clean, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff, and delicious food. They were on the pricy side but offer complementary sauces/dips and delicious pickles. I ordered a kids meal, two burgers, fries, and onion rings. The kids meal doesn’t come with a drink which is a bummer but it was okay. I got a bottle of water for about $3 more(which was more than o was told before I paid) and then purchased a fountain drink. Got complementary fries for signing up for the rewards program and app.Food took about 12-15minutes to make from the time we paid. My daughter loved the hot dog. The portion sizes were decent. The flavor on the burgers were one of a kind .. truly.I feel bad because I didn’t get the woman’s name that assisted us, but she had beautiful lashes, unique tattoos, and gorgeous lashes. Super friendly. Only con is she gave me the wrong price for the kids meal water add onThe only con was the price. With everything being à la cart, it got pricey quickly for a burger joint. You’re looking at about a $20 lunch if you keep it basic.“

I tried another highly recommended place from Yelp and it didn't even live up to the hype, made me wish I went back to Houston's. French fries were also good! I'd love to come back for dinner but parking might be tough. This plaza is always crowded.“
