“It’s legit Texas style BBQ. Their brisket is amazing and their beans are superb. The last time I went there, they had smoked meatballs which were amazing. Side note: a shoutout to the people in charge of the playlist there: I’ve been there 3 times already and always a good selection ?”
“Came here over the weekend after wanting to try Giselle's for years. I was greeted by Alex, who was very kind and knowledgeable on the various treats. I purchased a couple of the PB&J protein bars and the chocolate protein bars. So yummy! PB&J was my favorite of the two. Major brownie points for being gluten free and 100% organic. I'll definitely be back for more soon!”
“These Italian good looking men know how to cook! Wonderful creative dishes. Most beautiful CLEAN restroom I have ever seen. Many laughs and great memories are made here. Please visit. Service over the top - attentive and professional.”
“The owner of the bakery is such a lovely gentleman, and literally everything I've ever had from here has been absolutely delicious. Even coming in later in the day, there's always a great selection of delicious treats, and excellent service. As a long time aficionado of BREAD over in Santa Ana, I have to say....I come to Saffron for my baguettes now. No shade to bread, they're still amazing! But the baguette here is worthy of it's own review!”
“This urban plates is awesome. The staff Casey & Pourya were so friendly, great service & knowledgeable. urban plates has all the sides and the atmosphere at this location is so quaint w heaters outside.”
“The food lived up to the hype. Everything was fresh and the flavor was so good and simple. I usually like a lot of sauces and layers to this type of food but this was my favorite simple chicken wrap. 10/10 recommend.”
“An absolute hidden gem! A wonderful blend of flavors, textures, and served up with friendly hospitality. Chilaquiles are a “must try!” We look forward to returning and trying other delectable delights!”
“Best pizza my family & I have ever had & we eat a lot of pizza! The crust was perfect, not to thin & not to thick. Total perfection. The ingredients on the pizza were fresh.This is definitely a great place to eat. The atmosphere was excellent. We will be telling all our friends to try this place. Definitely worth every penny!”
“Shrimp tacos were our favorite. Also, we really like the Beria and the fried fish We also loved the nachos and even better was the drink of the day which was pineapple Fresca so, so good. Service was very good. I think our server was Alicia, but I could have the name wrong. She was a young girl,and she was very wonderful and she had her hair in a bun. The only thing that could possibly improve is having may be a little less spicy salsa or pico for the people who don’t like too much spice. Wonderful seafood, can’t wait to try more dishes.”
“Great coffee, great service. Very unique roast-to-order service, don’t know of anywhere else in the area that has anything like this. They’re always friendly and happy to answer any questions.”
“We are locals and tried this restaurant. Was presently surprised, the portions were very large and the service was great. The owner Mike came by to make sure all was good, nice touch. This is our new go to date night place.”
“The food is very yummy! We got the birria & shrimp tacos which have great flavor and broth in the meat.Would love to try the birria ramen & pretty much everything on their menu, it all looked so good. I also enjoyed that they seem to just specialize in the main staples you’d like to see at a Mexican restaurant and their menu wasn’t too expansive.Great atmosphere and service too!”
“What a wonderful surprise stopping by here after the gym thinking I was going to get different options of Gyro and Rice and there were so many offerings that were very healthy and appetizing. I ordered the Zoodles with the Salmon protein option and it was delicious. It was also a nice surprise that they serve equally yummy breakfast options all day long. I have my close to home healthy go to option that does not compromise on taste and plenty of variety.”
“Last Monday first time we came for pho . The staff service is very helpful and friendly. I ordered pho chicken and spring roll very good price is acceptable . We will come back”
“Ellie's Table is a great little spot if you want a nice little brunch/lunch/snack/pastry or coffee with a quaint cafe vibe. We love Ellie's whenever we come to the OC. We used to go to the San Clemente location before it closed. This was our first time at this location. Food: 5/5 We ordered a variety of things here and each item was wonderful. I ordered the brunch burger. It was cooked to perfection and practically melted in my mouth with each bite. We also got some pastries and the lucky charms cappuccino. Everything we got was wonderful. Atmosphere: 5/5 This place has a very nice little cafe vibe. There is some seating indoors, a cool little private area upstairs and some nice seating outside lining the building. It's a nice place to hangout and visit with friends or loved ones while enjoying some food and coffee in a relaxed environment. Customer Service: 4/5 One of the employees seemed a little irritated that she was there while she rang us up. But, overall the service was ok. She was young, so I doubt that it is like this with all the employees all the time. Price: 5/5 The prices here are great for what you get. I got a massive burger with a sunny side egg for only $14. The nice palm sandwiches are only $3.50! They have items for if you want a full meal or just a little snack. They are all priced very well in my opinion. Parking: 3/5 There is a tiny parking lot behind the building. If you can't park there, you are looking for street parking or parking in another lot in the Downtown San Juan Capistrano area. This place is such a nice little OC gem. I highly recommend if you are on a trip or even a local!”
“This is a great place for delicious pastries. Small company, quiet inside, everything is freshly made into delicious. They try innovative new recipes for food and beverages, and their offerings Change which is fun! Their Cup of Joy latte is my favorite coffee drink. They are centrally located in Mission Viejo but are are not open every day, which is my only complaint!”
“Came here for a quick coffee and enjoyed the experience. Tim is the owner and was at the counter taking our order and making our coffee. He was very friendly and made a great cup of coffee and chai tea latte. He was just about to close but had no issue making us coffee. We sat outside on the bench, there is also seating inside. Next time will try some of his breakfast items.”
“Enjoyed eating at The Garden. Excellent halal food, good sized portions. Baba ghanoush, cheese borak, and sambousek were delicious. The kebab, lamb shank, and kibbeh in labne was great. Would happily come again.”
“Second time here. Pretty cool setup. Bakery that has baked goods but surprisingly a pizza speakeasy. Never seen anything like it. The cookies were moist and delicious. The first time, we got a plain cheese pizza with basil and garlic-no charge to add those in. Crust was great. Dough and texture done just right. A little more tomato sauce ratio to cheese than I prefer yet still good. Super nice owner prompt service and efficient. Second visit today was cheese, basil, arugula and garlic. Very good just wish there would have been more cheese. I requested it in comments in advance but didn't happen. Would have been a 5 and a new favorite. Overall pretty good.”
“The only bad thing that happened was the salad I ordered had two kinds of olives. Black with no pits, and green with pits. I hurt my teeth, biting into one with a pit.”
“Visited with in laws during our trip to socal this Easter break. I thought it was at the Irvine spectrum but it was closer to the industrial center and thus, easier parking (although may hard to find at first). I can tell this place is hectic during the business day lunch break. Order at the counter then wait for your food; ours was not a long wait on a Saturday at 4pm. Many options. Many many many! So take your time and be adventurous but always, always get the mint chuntney. Flavors will rock your socks off. I think this business model would lend itself to fast expansion like Cava or Chipotle so I wish all the best to the staff and ownership. Very approachable, easy to enjoy Indian food (albeit not maybe 100% authentic, but it’s still very satisfying)”
“Buddy at the front counter is friendly and quick with the delicious acai bowls. Watched him go through a larger rush quickly and efficiently. All the fruit is super fresh and extremely worth the ”
“Took one bite and had to stop to leave this review. ARE YOU JOKING?! Seriously the best food and kindest staff I have ever experienced! I’m still here eating but had to give this place a well earned 5 stars!!!”
“Great meal, wonderful service, nice place. Hostess was irritated we interrupted her call and was a bit icky to us -- whatever. We had the nut crusted halibut and the stuffed blossoms. Lovely.”
“We had a great time here for St. Patrick's Day. We were excited to try some of the food. However, after paying a cover charge to enter, we were told that we couldn't order the food we wanted. The bar was busy, so we were patient with service, but there we two bartenders who easily handled the crowds and two who were super stressed and somewhat rude. The rest of the staff was good. They had live music and it was a fun atmosphere.”
“Great food! Super nice staff and very accommodating! We have a large and intimidating service dog, and they turned on heaters and gave us a private area on the patio! Staff made sure our entire party K9 included were enjoying themselves! Try the octopus taco!!!”
“OC Local is a big, clean, beautiful place to have fun and relax. Families, couples, singles, groups, and dogs are all welcome here. They have something for everyone!Troy and Patrick run the place, and they are wonderful people. Even when they're busy, they take the time to greet everyone personally.Good food and great drinks. The tacos and nachos are my go-to choices for food. They have so many beers on tap that is hard to pick a favorite.”
“A definite must try! Great food and easy to work with as they catered my wedding. Food was fresh and tasty. Great feedback from all my family and friends. Will for sure be going back to eat at the restaurant. Owners are very accommodating and will work with you to make your ideal menu for catering.”
“I'm not an Indian expert, but I can say for certain that nothing I've had here was disappointing at allThe butter chicken is especially good on Rice scooped up with a big piece of NaanKid-friendliness: They are so incredibly friendly with our boys every time we eat there - truly a welcoming atmosphere”
“I was blown away with how friendly Adam was. The reason being is because I feel like good customer service is hard to find these days. Adam started off with giving us great recommendations, asked about our preferences, and even asked about how our day was going. This kind of attitude deserves attention. Music was great along with board games to play. Lastly, the food was great. We recommend the Chicken Club on the grill. Amazing! Thanks for making our day even better, Adam!”
