“I love BJ's! One of my favorite places to eat, makes me feel so nostalgic. I came here with my boyfriend today for Valentine's Day and we had the best time thanks to Bryan! The service was fast and he was also very communicative about our order and how soon it was coming out. I am very happy to have celebrated vday here!“

“This is the best Denny's because of the many memories I have when our family would eat here when it was a Lamppost Pizza. The layout is the same but of course the food is breakfast fodder. It's evolved with me because now I can't eat pizza and they change their omelet plate to make it a Vegan plate and now I can eat here again with my family.“

“The food was yummy and affordable!“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“It was awesome that it was open late, very busy even then. Fun crowd, lively bar, and patrons. My vegetarian burger tasted so good, almost as if it was off the grill. The waitress was attentive and double-checked for food allergies before serving walnut pesto. Afterward, the bartender on duty broke a glass, and the room fell silent; then everyone laughed and cheered on! ?

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian red beet and quinoa burger was the bomb! Great texture and flavor.

Dietary restrictions: The waitress notified us about possible allergens in the food.“

“Although the food isn't the best, it's a great place to hang out with friends and family. Draft beer is also available and a variety of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts are available. All the staff working there are friendly. It's also a good idea to stop by for dinner somewhere else and a quick beer. Sometimes, when I have dinner at a restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol, I stop by here and have a light beer.“

“Went for breakfast during the week. It was surprisingly busy. Service was fast and relatively friendly. Food came out quickly. I didn't love the scrambled eggs, but I'm admittedly picky about them. The pancakes were pretty solid.

It has a distinctively retro vibe... 70s maybe? But not in a campy way. Just feels very old school. I wouldn't say it's on my favorites list, but I'd definitely go back.“

“Great food great company great service“

“Had a great breakfast Chicken fried steak and eggs,huge portion of hash browns ,toast We also had a Our server he was great Huge portions We will be back“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“I have been going there for 50 + years. Me and the Wife for 30 years! We live in Las Vegas, Nv. I have been to every 5 star in Las Vegas for 45 years and Clearman's is still the best ever! The food, service and the service has not changed in all that time! I remember the Owner, was going to build a Clearman's in Green Valley, Henderson. When he passed away I asked his Son when is the New Clearman's was opening, he stated never, his Dad was wrong in thinking about opening it. I told him I live in Vegas, the Wife and I come just for the food then back to Vegas. I told him we tell all our Friends , Family and our work mates, ( Law Enforcement) , take photos of our food and the restaurant! Today my Son's Friend from Co. Ate for the first time took leftovers home with pictures he took! Still waiting for a NEW CLEARMAN'S in Nv. To happen! Please!“

“My 8 yr old son's honest review: "At first glance, this may seem like an ordinary diner but it's so good that I almost inhaled my food and also it felt like Jesus touched me." My husband and I had the California omelette and the Cobb salad, both were excellent! Great service too! We'll definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: My son said the pancakes, french fries and chicken nuggets were awesome. He rated it better than McDonald's (which is now his old favorite)!“

“Good food and service……..“

“Every time I visit OC, I make sure to stop by this place and have some breakfast around 1 pm ?

Portions of the food is great and food is super tasty. Can’t go wrong with anything you order here. Not to mention staff is fantastic.

Side note: if you like, you can take your pet with you and sit outside and enjoy breakfast with your four legged friends “

“Went in very late to study and received great service by the waiter Tano. Was checked on very often and was refilled on everything before we even had to ask. Definitely helped build a great atmosphere to help do homework as well which was appreciated.“

“What a fun restaurant! The music was happy, upbeat and our Server Mario was very attentive. I had a patty melt and I have to admit that it was by far the best I have had in a long time. The sauce on the sandwich was a very pleasant surprise. The onion rings were fat and thick. The banana split was fresh and very tasty! This was my first visit and the next time I’m in town I’m definitely going back. Thank you Millie’s I’ll see you next time around!“

Parking: Parking was closed to the entrance of the cafe.

Kid-friendliness: Waitress was very friendly and fast with our food.“

“My hubs comes here after work for a beer + bite during the weekday. It's a low key, local peeps, local vibe dive and he always leaves happy ? The service is attentive and prompt w no attitude. It's family owned so maybe that's why. Good, honest, hard working customers just grabbing a brew after work and families grabbing a bite at night ? I was a lil fancy on a recent Sat night + also fit in. They welcome all vibes ?“

“Love this place!
I stopped by Chicken Koop in Whittier the other day, and I’m still thinking about it. The naan bread alone is worth the visit—so soft, warm, and fresh, it’s basically impossible to stop eating it.

The team here is awesome, too. Everyone’s super friendly and makes you feel welcome, like they’re happy to have you there. It’s just one of those places where you can tell they care about what they’re doing.

If you’re in the area and craving something delicious, you need to check this place out. Great food, great people“

“We had good time and enjoyed our 3 courses lunch with entrée & dessert wines included. Service was attentive and friendly. foods were tasty, well plating and reasonable prices. We have another reservation for dinner this coming Friday.“

“All food is the best with large portions“

“One star less on atmosphere bc the music is so horrible. However, AB is my go to for sports games etc. they have happy hour food, which is a big difference from their un-named competition (Chili’s). Food is always good, TV’s are sports ready, and Happy Hour.“

“This little gem feels like an old school drive inn. They have oldies playing and the atmosphere is great! You can order to go or dine in, but let me warn you it can get packed in there!

As for the food, it's amazing! The food comes in big quantities, as you can tell from the images, and yes, it does taste delicious as it looks! Next time we are in town, we will definitely stop by for more!

Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarian such as salads and other items.

Parking: Parking is free. Just don't come in during rush hour because of the drive-thru line.

Kid-friendliness: It's spacious enough inside, and it's family-friendly“

Typically, no wait to seat

Cons:
Parking costs money downstairs
Slightly slow since they're not usually busy“

“This Marie Callendars is smaller than the one in Anaheim I used to go to for many years. I appreciated having access to pot roast and other favorites. I was disappointed that only a small chicken pot pie was available, but it comes in a nice trio. And they have great pies!

Parking: Ample parking next to the restaurant. Easily accessible.“

“great food, great atmosphere ans friendly service“

“Came here for a last minute meal with the family. Sat in Phil's section and he made sure we taken care of, never ran out something to drink and very kind with the cheese bread. Thanks Phil for the amazing service and making sizzler a special place for nice steak and food.“

“Saturday night the noise level was so loud. It was hard to talk to my Friend. The food was okay but it was so busy. I would say they were short-staffed on waiters not the waiter's fault that the managers fault for not having another waiter on duty! The reply from management was lame. Didn't address any of my complaints!“

“Great lunch at denny's in la habra and a Is great waitress in alex“

“I had a wonderful experience today…
I went to buy a pie for my son and I was helped by Robert M he was so wonderful . When I said the pie was for my son birthday he was so kind, he wished my son a happy birthday and gave him two delicious muffins; blubbery was my sons favorite.I was so grateful, thank you Robert And thank you Marie Callender’s for always making my a experiences with you guy’s memorable..see you soon“

“There was an event earlier in the morning and I got a coupon for a free 2-pack cinnamon rolls so it was perfect that I was planning to go for dinner that same day! Cinnamon rolls were yummy and I love the fact that the icing comes separate since I’m not the biggest fan of sugary icing. I tried a different dish, Pasta primavera and added grilled chicken. This was good and would recommend it. Their side salad was yummy, had all the good toppings and at the end, my family ordered peach pie and sadly they ran out! This is a seasonal item so they were very disappointed. But it just goes to show you that it’s popular and to reserve it once you get seated because my family actually called ahead and asked if it was available and it was but after we ate, they sold out!“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“Everything was delicious and service was great. It was a Thursday night and the parking lot was packed at 5:45 pm. They may have had a special event taking place in another area on the grounds. They have valet service but we parked in the lower lot and walked up. I was a little disappointed that I ordered the lamb shank that was a special of the day but they didn't have it. Prime rib was a great second choice. Piano music playing and city lights after dark make it extra special. It was my first time there but I'm sure I'll go back.“

“Great service ! The food was yummy and the beer is cold !“

“Excellent food, service, and one of the best places for all the above.“

“Love coming here in the morning..also..the Lady in the morning, (the mother, wife, of the owners,) she has the best hospitality ever :)“
