“Very much a bustling, neighborhood eatery. The chicken is unique in that it is has more of a crust & the flavor has a slight kick. Very tasty! I got a couple pieces that were charred, which I enjoyed but I realize is not for everyone. The chicken was still juicy on the inside. Potato salad & beans were also good. The greens, however, were very bland which could be doctored up at home.My only complaint was how soggy the chicken got the next day. I’m not sure if it was just the batch I had but I was very disappointed with the experience the following day. So I recommend eating it fresh & they are sure to serve it piping hot!Oh, the pecan pie was delicious too!PS. It is quite expensive but if you’re in the mood for good chicken it is worth the splurge.“

“Food was great, service was immediate and top notch. Food came out quick. Went outside to have some coffee and water afterwards and enjoy the sun and felt very comfortable despite the speeding cars and traffic zooming by. Great patio space. Recommend for lunchtime with co workers and friends when rushed.“

Vault Bar & Grill Bar & Grill • $
300 N Main St, Santa Ana

“This neighborhood bar has a fantastic corner location. There are pool tables here, and a full bar. Clean decor and great bartenders here. The food menu is somewhat limited (they had a salad on the menu that they said they actually won't start serving until next month), but everyone seemed to be ordering the wings. I had the burger, and it was fantastic. The drinks were even better. This is a place to explore with the bartender - they have very fresh fruits, and herbs, and bitters, and try to make a new cocktail that appeals to your tastes.“

“The #1, numero uno, number one spot ever in all of OC for al pastor tacos. Hands down the best ever. Hands down the best price ever. These tacos are still $1 in this crazy market. Although, you will get the red p*** the next day. These tacos are well well worth it. I've been going here for maybe 15 years now? At least 10 years. Always good quality. Always the best. Good to go!“

“We came in on Saturday and the place is pretty packed. The waiting time was around 20-40 minutes.We ordered Drew’s Biscuit Sliders come with 2 of Mama's famous bacon biscuits, stuffed with sausage (you can choose other protein options like their fried chicken, bacon, etc.), 2 Scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, Mama's potatoes, Mama's country gravy. The gravy is kind of bland on its own, but once you eat it with the biscuit sliders, it complements each other very well.One more thing worth noting, the Mama’s potatoes that come with it are AMAZING, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and so flavorful!?The other dish we ordered is Mama’s Famous Chicken N’ Waffle, the chicken is a little bit dry, but the gravy that comes with it kind of helps. The waffle though, is so good with maple sauce.(Follow on instagram @hangrytrails.us for more SoCal foods)“

“Congratulations Kenwood's, after another amazing dinner here, you are now officially my Favorite Restaurant in OC!! Just when I think "how could they do better?" Kenwood's has again more than exceeded my expectations. Although the food is great and the atmosphere comfortable and welcoming, the epic service is what really makes Kenwood's my winner. The manager is friendly, engaging and always makes sure you're having a great visit. Our server was so nice, and very attentive. The drinks were back at our table in less than 2 minutes. The food was super fast and our server checked in a couple of times to make sure we were doing well.“

“Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!“
