“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.“

“This a great comfort food and breakfast place. Nothing fancy and great value.

I had the meatloaf meal. It came with clam chowder (The Westminster Crackers from New England really made it special). Baked potato was excellent, along with veggies that weren’t overcooked. The meatloaf was pretty good. I had enough leftover for dinner the following night.

You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The servers are nice.“

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

“Had a great experience there watching the USA game after the game, we were greeted by a very nice and professional server. I think her name was. Zahra (sorry if misspelled) she was very helpful and quick at our tables as service should be . I definitely recommend this place if you’re watching any sports event. And big shout out to Zahra for taking care of us . She made us feel like service should be. Very professional very prompt.10/10 experience“

“We were walking in old town orange and we randomly chose this restaurant for an early dinner. The wait time was 10 min on a Saturday. The staff is friendly and fast! The cocktails are good. And the food is amazing! We ordered carnitas nachos, mahi mahi tacos, chicken tacos, chipotle chicken sandwich, Peggy’s sandwich. The prices are great! We spent $120 for four people with cocktails and appetizers! You can’t beat that! This place will definitely be on our rotation from now on. Definitely recommend!“

“INCREDIBLE TACO TUESDAY DEALS. Wonderful service, friendly staff (both bar and waitstaff) i recommend the carne asada in any form.

Any mistakes on their part are corrected quickly and with grace & kindness. They offer replacements and sometimes refunds for mess-ups.

It's loud for my taste but i have rather sensitive hearing - i have trouble hearing my friends talk but they seem to chat just fine so im sure it's just a me problem“

“We visited for a birthday brunch. The ambience was good but mellow. The restaurant sits in the back of the hotel lobby with a pretty view of the outside pond and landscape. It was too hot to sit outside but the large windows provided a good view. The food was delicious and flavorful. The drinks were pretty and tasty. The service was somewhat lacking. A couple servers were not too knowledgeable on both drink and food menus and one did not have the best manners. The restaurant was a lot quieter than expected which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Overall, it was good.“

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

“A great spot for anyone waiting for a train. The restaurant offers a full menu with a variety of drinks and beverages to choose from. Enjoy your meal on the outdoor patio overlooking the Orange Train Station while watching the trains come and go. The hamburgers are big, juicy, and reasonably priced, making them a great value. Restrooms are available for restaurant customers, adding to the overall convenience of the location.“

“My Chimichurri steak wrap was soo good🔥!“

“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. 🐶🍻“

“Came here with my boyfriend because of the Professional Beer Inspector on Instagram. This place had one of the coldest beers featured in his reviews, so we had to check it out.

As soon as we walked in, the music was legit. No horrible new songs--just classics and rock 'n' roll.

Everyone was having a great time inside. You could tell they were locals having real conversations. The crowd was more mature, which was chill, but everyone was still welcoming and friendly. We arrived right before it got too packed for Karaoke Night (Fridays). We met one of the bartenders, Dylan, and he was phenomenal. He took his time with our orders and personally introduced himself with a handshake. The group next to us randomly invited us to sit with them. They were friendly people. Another bartender, Nissa, was even singing behind the bar.

While I was waiting in line to place an order, the manager, Rudy, came up to me and introduced himself. He welcomed us, thanked us for coming in, and told us to let him know if we needed anything. He was very friendly.

The music was bumping, but it wasn't too loud. Someone was celebrating a birthday, but everyone was vibing together. The food was decent, the front patio was great, and yes, the beer was ice cold.

If you're looking for a place with a more genuine crowd, friendly people, and none of the pretentious attitude you find at some Orange County bars, this place is a breath of fresh air. Hit this place up. They're awesome.“

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

“For a first time in Anaheim I'd say they have a wonderful selection. As a vegan I got the charred broccoli pasta and would HIGHLY recommend it. The pasta was deliciously seasoned, lightly oiled, and had freshly roasted garlic and tomatoes to compliment the charred broccoli. If you told me you could make something charred taste that good I'd think you were joking but the chef manages to not just make a good dish but an excellent meal. The noodles are a large portion but do not overwhelm the dish.

Jordan was our server and Diego was our bartender, they were both incredibly welcoming and friendly. Jordan was able to tell me clearly what was suitable for my diet and I never had ask for anything. They both had amazing chemistry with the folks who came in and made the atmosphere even better.

Amazing staff, a warm atmosphere and a real good chef means you're guaranteed to have a great time. If youre in town you would be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by.“

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

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

“The Hangar Steak was delicious as was everything“

“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.“

“Tried this diner out with my wife. We walked in and the fine gentleman let us pick out a seat. We sat, got some coffee, then ordered our meals. Very good meals. Our server was very kind and personable. Highly recommend for a nice Friday morning by the tracks🚂“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Good time . Service was pretty good.“

“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?“

“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“
