“I needed something quick to eat for my long trip to San Diego. Found this little place off the Highway and they did not disappoint! Bought the OG and Pastrami Brisket Burritos and it tasted amazing! Probably one of the best places I ate at all week. Great job!“

“Wow…all around! Jeff greeted us, Jackie served us. Everyone…down to earth, personable! They were busy this Thursday nite and yet, very, very attentive. RSVP recommended but we Will fed it & scored the last table. Food options, amazing, drinks, soothing! We are definitely coming back with friends! First place that I'm over the head impressed!“

“This pie shop was a “stomping ground -hang out” while growing up. Always a great home cooked meal. Save room for a piece of their pie!“

“Excellent food and service! Fresh, home style cooking. Great coffee too! It’s on the first floor of the business building. Ordered a egg & chorizo burrito and a Carmel Macchiato with Almond milk and both were excellent! Wish I worked in the building. I’d be here all the time.“

“World class breakfast burrito. Why you say? Many restaurants fail to acknowledge the importance of temperature. Nothing says fresh like a piping hot breakfast burrito. Cheese perfectly melted, hash browns wonderfully crispy, and bacon delightfully crunchy. Everything the same temperature from the first bite to the last.

Perfection.“

“wonderful service. great food! Hawaiian burger and sweet potato fries!“

“I came with my friend for the prefix valentines dinner for a 4:45pm reservation, over all the ambiance was great and the check in staff were nice. I'm not sure if it was the busy evening ahead but sadly we felt extremely rushed throughout the evening. The mains came almost immediately after the appetizers and our server kept grabbing our plates asking if we were finished, almost picking them off the table before we had a chance to say no we weren't. Given the romantic setting, because we were two women we were suspecting maybe this is why we were given a little lackluster service and somewhat of a brush off. The server was very knowledgeable and accommodating despite the rush. The food was fine. We both had the filet, no choice of how it's prepared which I understand but each of our steaks were cooked differently which I thought was odd. The desserts were clearly prepared in advance but the creme brulee we ordered had almost no crusting on top. I think for such a busy event, these things are understandable but because we had such an early reservation before the crowd came in I was caught off guard by feeling rushed.“

“Really nice family owned shop. Helpful to have by court house and by hospital for staff and community. Decent prices & friendly staff. Good for soup, salad, sandwiches, rice bowls, burgers, pizza, deli, daily specials, other meals, snacks & drinks.“

“Counter service. Fresh made to order food. Friendly staff and validation for parking structure. Small cafeteria for office staff workers and public doing business in building. We came from an appointment close by. Approx 10 small tables. Maybe 30 occupancy.“

“Good food and child friendly. Cool Halloween decorations. Our server was great. I recommend this place!“

“Short Review:
10/10. The District helped me host the best birthday brunch ever!

Long Review:
The District helped me host the best birthday brunch I could have asked for. Justyn was incredibly helpful in organizing everything beforehand and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We had a party of 30 people, which can easily get chaotic, but everything went perfectly.

Originally we planned to sit on the patio, and they had it ready for us. Because of the unexpected winds, they also prepared an indoor space just in case—and thankfully they did, because the wind ended up being too strong. The transition inside was seamless and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

The staff during the event were amazing. Alison made sure there was never an empty glass during bottomless, the food came out quickly and smoothly even with such a large group, and the overall atmosphere was incredible. The food itself was great American brunch classics, and for bottomless they brought multiple juice options and had the table set up with bottles, juices, and water evenly distributed so everything felt organized and easy.

What I appreciated most was that I never once had to worry about my guests. I was able to actually enjoy my birthday brunch instead of managing things, which meant a lot. After brunch our party continued into the afternoon with pool and drinks, and that transition was just as smooth. The vibes were so good that honestly none of us wanted to leave.

They were also kind enough to keep our cake in the fridge and even brought it out with the candles lit for us, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Absolutely no complaints. If I could host every brunch event here for the rest of my life, I would. Truly 10/10 for the staff, the location, the atmosphere, and the overall experience.“

“Always great food! Fast service and friendly workers!“

“Everything was fabulous——food, service and ambience; I highly recommend it!!!!!“

“Visited this pool hall yesterday while in town for my wife’s work conference. As soon as I walked in the door, everyone was extremely friendly. Played on the Diamond 9’ table and was able to play against some really good players while I was there. Had the Philly for lunch with a few beers. For being there 3 hours $62 was an amazing price for pool time, food and 3 large Coors light. If you’re out of town and looking to play pool, definitely go there. You won’t regret it.“

“The service here is great, the portions are generous and the food is Fantastic. Best pumpkin pancakes anyplace. My only wish is that they had fresh squeezed orange juice.“

“Parking at a nearby structure with first 3 hours free. Short walk, 5 min wait for a table and excellent options for food and beverage. The service was a little slow but it was a crowded Sat night over Memorial Day weekend. Would definitely enjoy a meal here again.“

“First time visit! We will be back! Fabulous dig-friendly patio! Adorable and vintage indoor seating. Vast menu! Quality food! Great service!“

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

“The food was amazing had an Italian sandwich that was monster and it was like $14 it'd be any sandwich for you
can go to any of this had a pool table
and a bar and a lot of friendly locals and outside smoking patio and clean bathrooms. Want more could you ask for it in a little local joint? I will come back for sure today was my second time in two months“

“The food here is always good, we also like the drinks they make. My only complaint would be all the little flies flying around it gets a little annoying. They need to bring back the creme brulee. Otherwise its a great place to grab some food and drinks.“

“My Chimichurri steak wrap was soo good🔥!“

“Fun little spot. I went on a Tuesday night. It was an older crowd. But they had a live trivia game there, so that was kinda cool. It was our first time there. My adult daughter said she wanted to see the passing trains. She also said the drinks were really good. Guy serving us was hustling and was really nice.“

“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

“Great place for tasty coffee and to meet up with family, friends, and clients 👍🏻🏡“

“Food is great after two years since I was last there . The vietmanese coffe is good too they need to fil it to the rim not top off with ice I’m not paying for cup of ice I want more coffee in it“

“Old classic American steakhouse. Bartenders are outstanding and pour a good drink not your standard 1 oz. . The Owners Jeff and Steve have greatly improved the place the last several years. I've seen their business increase. The food is very good and competitively priced. Some comments I read earlier that it was overly priced they must go to Denny's a lot. The weekends get packed. Sometimes 1-2 hour wait for dinner. They have entertainment on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. They also have great Happy Hour specials M-F. I'm just another happy customer that has been coming in for years.“

“Woody's Diner is one of my favorites and I'm coming tonight to order BBQ Chicken Salad (my favorite) and bringing 2 friends with me to order too sometime around 5Pm“

“Marry Christmas & a happy new year 🎊🎈🥂to everyone.“

“Green Tomato Grill has wonderful food -- and BOGO (buy one get one) coupons on entrees are available if you know where to look! (Even without them, it's no worse than $$ out of $$$$.)“

“We ordered a honey ham and two turkey breasts for pick-up. Our order was ready on time, but we were stuck in traffic trying to get there before the place closed. We called from our car and explained our dilemma.

As it turned out, we managed to arrive with about 10 minutes to spare. One of the servers had kindly bagged our order and set it in the fridge for us, assuming we likely have to pick it up the next day.

When we arrived, we received a warm welcome as we claimed our order. Nice people. Friendly service. Tasty food. Would definitely order from here again.“

“A great place to go retro to the age of train travel. And, its aside the RR tracks from LA to Oceanside and San Diego. Restaurant and bar have outside seating along the tracks but you can sit inside and still see the trains pass by. Some stop as its also a train stop (Orange). Our lunch was great. Served so hot had to let our reuben and hamberger cool a bit. Large menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Full bar. \n\nGot time to kill. Cross the street to the free Hilbert Museum of pastels, watercolors, oil, and a collection of early portable radios too?“

“Great place and excellent service. Thanks Rosie!!“

“not crowded which i prefer..enjoyed cheesecake and fries..good service.. nice environment 👏“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“If you want to pay a premium for your order, and then not get what you ordered, please pay a visit to The Burger Den! oh and if you ordered through a delivery service or their website, good luck finding a phone number to contact them when they fudge your order. Food 7/10 Service 0/10 reliability 0/10“

“Fast service. Love the chefs touch. Warm and golden brown chicken. I always go here after the gym for meal prepping bowls-3- plus a discount. They always have deals and give the best prices. They always give more. I love it here definitely going always. Been busy more often. Overall they are getting popular“

“Bowling is a unique game that’s both a sport and recreational indulgence. With more than 250,000 bowling lanes and 100 million players, it is considered among the most widely played sports in the world. It is a part of American culture, and even when many other sports activities have intruded on its space, it continues to be a crowd-pleaser. Bowling is a part of popular culture and has found a place in film, TV, and professional sport. It is also on its way to becoming an Olympic Sport in the not-so-distant future. Many movies have been made around the sport, and many famous men and women have expressed their appreciation and weakness for it. Bowling lingo has spread into other parts of our lives. Without further ado, for your amusement and inspiration – enjoy! If I had been on ‘Bowling for Dollars, I’d wind up owing them money. It’s not how you bowl; it’s how your roll. Never rent bowling shoes if you wear size 15. Dinosaurs didn’t bowl & now they are extinct. Coincidence?“

“Good time . Service was pretty good.“

“so good 👍 the food exelent, the server so nice,“

“Great food 🥘 Fast service super friendly. Will be back!!“

“Honestly, what's not to love about Marie Calendar's? Good food, nothing crazy fancy, but good, classic, American food. The salad bar is still a great option too. The service has been great every time I've been here over the years. The pies to go are always a go-to for holidays and very easy online or in-person ordering and pickup.“

“My husband and I enjoyed our date night. Great service and great food👍🏼 will definitely come back😍“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top-tier service by Joe
We had a fantastic experience here, and it’s all thanks to Joe. He is undoubtedly the standout server at this establishment. His professionalism, warm hospitality, and attention to detail were unmatched. He anticipated our needs perfectly and made us feel incredibly welcome. If management is reading this, give Joe a raise—he represents your business beautifully!“

“We had so much fun at Dave & Buster's - Orange. It was such a good family night for all of us. The vibe was fun and energetic but still comfortable for the kids. The human crane was definitely the highlight. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever and honestly it was just as fun watching them as it was for them being in it. It made the night feel extra special and different from a regular arcade visit. We also played darts and that was a big hit. It was nice having something the older kids and adults could enjoy together. Lots of laughing and a little friendly competition. Overall it was a great experience. Good food, fun games, and memories we will definitely talk about for a while. We will be back for sure.“

“Great portions , food and service are great 😊 my family’s favorite place now“
