“10/10 burger! I got the tombstone, with onion rings and a chocolate shake and wowwww it was amazing! Everything about the burger was perfection from the bacon flavor, thickness and juicyness to the chocolate shakes chocolate pizzazle without being too chochlately.

“The burgers are great with a nice variety of sauces. Excellent service from Anakin and the crew. The shakes are great too. I definitely recommend this spot with grass fed and finished beef and they really are bringing back the great American burger. I’ll definitely be back and there are great deals if you download the app. Also open till 9 which is good too.“

“Cool vibe, good food. Happy hour daily from 2-5 with 50% off beer and wine. My only complaint would be the table tops were sticky/dirty looking. Not from lack of cleaning, just seemed to be the varnish they used on the wood. Also, the garlic parm fries are coated in a garlic butter. Very greasy/oily. If you're not into greasy fries, steer clear. Overall though, I would recommend, and I will be back.“

“Royal Donuts in Mission Viejo is one of those classic local donut shops that reminds you why small neighborhood spots still beat the big chains. From the moment you walk in, the smell of fresh donuts hits you and you can tell right away that things are being made properly, not just shipped in frozen and reheated like some of the larger franchise places.

The selection is excellent. You have all the classics you expect like glazed, chocolate frosted, maple bars, old fashioned, and jelly filled, but everything tastes noticeably fresher than the average donut shop. The glazed donuts have that perfect light texture where the outside has just enough sweetness without being overwhelming, and the inside stays soft and fluffy. The maple bars are especially good and are generously sized. One donut can honestly hold you over for quite a while.

Another thing I noticed is the consistency. A lot of donut shops are good early in the morning but fall off later in the day. Royal Donuts seems to keep a solid rotation going so you are not getting something that has been sitting around for hours. The donuts still taste fresh even later in the morning.

The staff has always been friendly and quick, even when there is a small line. They move people through efficiently without making you feel rushed. The shop itself is clean, simple, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood donut place. Nothing fancy, just good donuts done right.

Prices are also very reasonable compared to a lot of places now charging premium prices for basic donuts. Here you still feel like you are getting great value for what you pay.

If you live anywhere around Mission Viejo, this is definitely one of those local spots worth supporting. Great donuts, friendly service, and consistently fresh quality. Exactly what a neighborhood donut shop should be.“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“The employees here are so kind and so welcoming! Best atmosphere and the best service. I come here all the time. Alejandro is an incredible guy and super friendly!

Kid-friendliness: Super nice people! Welcoming to all ages.“

“Surroundings are clean, food came out quick, and rock music on the speakers.

Jr jumbo jack cheeseburger and two tacos for $1.61, what more can you want?

If you’re trying to eat healthier in 2026, this ain’t it. So much lard in these tacos but that’s what makes it taste good. Taco sauce is the best.“
