Good foods can be deceiving; beware—not a clean place.
While Paul’s Place (fast food) restaurant does have excellent food; other things are more important than just …food that need to be considered when dining at an eatery restaurant; and that is, hygiene and cleanliness. Two most important disciplines and practices that must be in place and maintained first for customers’ health; and that is cleanliness.
This is the third time I’ve been at the said restaurant and each time the men’s restroom was dirty and smelly and trashed all over the place from toilet paper to paper towels. This time was no different and worse.
In the past (because my friends have invited me to join them at the said restaurant). Each time I have briefly used the restroom and made the comment… that is lacking in cleanliness and disinfectant.
However, I wasn’t going to pass judgment by one or even two visits at Paul’s Place. But yesterday, March 21, 2025, was the worse—hideous. The men’s restaurant was smelly, unsightly, and repulsive.
It was the worst that I have seen than in the previous two times. Not only did it have a very bad order and trash all over the toilet floor and throughout the restroom. There wasn’t any toilet seat covers and no toilet paper.
But the straw that broke the camels back that I will never go back to Paul’s Place, was the response from I received from the order taker/cashier. When I informed her that the men’s restroom needed attending and to be resupplied with toilet seat covers and toilet paper; her response was: we don’t put toilet seat covers in the restroom, and I’ll get to the restroom as soon as I can.
The fact that the restroom is constantly dirty and smelly, and above all, that eatery establishment does not provide toilet seat covers for customer use is worse than being disgusting. It is a extremely important health issue. Now I don’t know if that’s a requirement and it’s inspected by the Department of health services of Orange County; but it’s something to be considered.
If hygiene, disinfectant and cleanliness is not important to the owner; and that is very evident by how filthy and dirty the restroom is. Then what can I expect from the cooks and the serving staff. I can’t help to think this lack of hygiene and cleanliness is transported or passed to the kitchen area and to the cooks and serving staff.
Hygiene is extremely important to me (as is more likely to other patrons). For this reason, I will never go back to Paul’s Place Restaurant. Now, you don’t have to take my word for it. You could used Paul’s Place… restroom at your own peril and learned the hard way.
Now, Paul’s Place is not going to go bankrupt with me no longer purchasing their food. But at the same time other eateries offer the same excellent food, and cleaned men’s restrooms. Now, Paul‘s Place food is excellent, not at the cost of my health. It’s up to you you want take the chance; not I, I will not ever…

The person I went with had a great portion of meat on her sandwich. My sandwich was not much... I had the chicken sandwich. The chicken was thinner than the bread by half. It was one of those.... "Where's the beef" moments but for me, chicken. We did speak with the waitress, and she that's how they make them.

I ordered the steak sandwich and it had a lot of fat and nerve. My Father ordered the chili cheese dog and he said it was sloppy and the bread was hard.

Paul's is a neighborhood treasure. Comfortable food, atmosphere, and location. The carnita tacos with Mexican candy are the best.
One of the best burger places in the area, they are delicious!

Walked in to have breakfast, and it felt very unwelcoming. Even though there were few people there, no one said, Can I help you and they just looked right past me. I walked right out, will never go there.

My go-to order is the broasted chicken. The burgers are also excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful.
