“They are very kind to the public.“

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

“The best French Toast around!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Ordered skirt steak, sea scallops and oysters and all were excellent!“

“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.“

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

“The food was good but pricy at ~$15 for a burger combo which resulted in us paying well over $30 for two to eat here. I'm guessing you can get creative by ordering one combo and al a cart extra burgers and share the fries and drink to save money.

The service was fast and professional and the atmosphere was by far the best part of our experience.“

“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.“

“The District Lounge has the perfect vibe for a night out! The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, with great music and a crowd that knows how to have fun. Their drink selection is on point—strong pours, creative cocktails, and fair prices for the quality. The staff is attentive and quick, even when it gets busy, which makes the experience even better. Whether you’re catching up with friends, dancing, or just grabbing a few drinks after work, this spot never disappoints. Definitely one of the go-to lounges in the area!“

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

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

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

“A huge shoutout to Jazleen at Danny K's! She provided absolutely fantastic service during our recent casual meal. Not only was she incredibly friendly and amazingly efficient, but she was also exceptionally helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and answered all our questions with a smile. It's clear she genuinely cares about her customers!“

“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.“

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

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

“In our first visit the owner Eddie took care of us. We went to watch the Euro Cup game. I asked Eddie can you put the sound so we can hear the game and he said of course. The place is very family oriented. Food is excellent. Everything about that place is excellent.“

“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🔥!“

“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.

Got time to kill. Cross the street to the free Hilbert Museum of pastels, watercolors, oil, and a collection of early portable radios too?“

“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“

“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.“

“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 $$ out of $$$$.)“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“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?“

“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“

“Good time . Service was pretty good.“

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

“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.“

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

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

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