50 Best American Restaurants in Orange

“They are very kind to the public.“

“Excellent food here! Glad it is still here after all these years.“

“Factually the best breakfast burrito in the state of CA. Staff made me feel welcomed, very professional and courteous. The place was bustling with many people in line, but my order came out right away! The burrito is massive. Every bite contains the perfect ratio of crispy tots, melted cheese, fluffy eggs, and crunchy bacon. I was amazed at how stuffed the burrito was without falling apart or being greasy at all! And the sauces...I tried the habanero salsa, cheese sauce, and avocado crema. They each carry distinct flavors that complement the burrito so well, I had to keep alternating sauces with every bite because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. All the ingredients used were top quality, the freshness really stood out. Once you try LJ’s there’s really no going back to normal breakfast burritos.“

“I Love This Place Their Food And Drinks Are Delicious Their Service Is Great.“

“The best French Toast around!“

“authentic and very good - the real deal - homemade“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Came here for a party. The parking is super tight so expect to be parking down the street on an evening visit. If there is an event at the Honda Center you will hit horrible traffic. The area inside is spacious, the drinks were good, and the waitresses were all very plesant.“

“This is your local neighborhood grill. You order at register and they bring out your food. Friendly staff, lots of booths, mounted TV's, outdoor seating tables and chairs. Menu has full breakfast, lunch and dinner options. (Salad bar was removed during Covid and has not returned) This is not an avocado toast and latte place. (Though I do love avocado toast.) My husband LOVES their breakfast burritos.
There is also a drive through window. Note: weekends can get busy at breakfast. There are several larger booths than can accommodate 5 to 8 people.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Perfect date night spot! Food was delicious & we then enjoyed some drinks outside. Craft beer options were a little limited but still good though (can't go wrong with Karl strause). Inside temperature in the hotel/restaurant was very cold though (being in the winter). Was much more comfortable being outside. Many thanks!“

“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.“

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

“Food was great! Apparently one of the owner’s wife is vegan/vegetarian, so they have great vegan/vegetarian options and the kitchen is flexible! Overall, great vibes, great service, and if you have Amanda she’ll navigate you through the menu perfectly!“

“The District is definitely the best choice in the Orange Circle for drinks when you want more of an atmosphere. From the storied old bras hanging down from the chandelier to the live DJs and dance floor, this place has things you just can't find elsewhere in Old Towne.

From the get-go, security is always quick and professional, the bartenders get through the crowds at a reasonable pace, and the staff on the floor working tables are going the extra mile with customer service as well. Elijah was a riot, and made the night a little more memorable for my girlfriend and I.

The food is excellent, with the nachos being our favorite. You wouldn't except big flavor from a little kitchen like that, but that's exactly what you get! (Though I'm sure the delicious cocktails helped!)

The live DJ definitely sells the whole experience. They get the whole place pumped up and the vibes were immaculate. Definitely a must-visit spot when you're in the area!“

“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.“

“We actually ended up at Salty Dawg Tavern by mistake because of a mix-up with our plans, but what a happy accident! This place is a total gem that we never would have discovered otherwise.
The food was great, the waitresses were super nice and friendly, and the overall vibe in the tavern was so much fun. It felt like the perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable time.
Highly recommend stopping in — even if you find it by accident like we did! We'll definitely be back on purpose next time. 🐶🍻“

“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“

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

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

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

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

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

“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 $$ out of $$$$.)“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“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?“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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,“

“Marie Callender's in Orange delivered a breakfast that was both satisfying and enjoyable from start to finish.

I ordered the B.L.A. omelet, filled with bacon, fresh tomatoes, and avocado, served with crispy hash browns, sourdough toast, and a hot cup of coffee. Everything was cooked well, tasted fresh, and made for a hearty breakfast.

My dining companion chose the sizzling breakfast plate with tater tots, scrambled eggs, smoked wood bacon, cheese, country gravy, and a couple of pancakes on the side. The presentation was impressive as it arrived still sizzling, and the generous portions made it an excellent choice for anyone with a big appetite.

One of the highlights of our visit was the service. Brenda was polite, friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the meal. She made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive, and her positive attitude added to the overall experience.

The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with family or friends. Between the quality of the food, the generous portions, and the outstanding service, this was a breakfast well worth the visit.

If you're looking for a dependable breakfast in Orange with classic comfort food, Marie Callender's is a solid choice. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

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

“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“
