“Cooks is a staple in the biker community of So Cal. The food is awesome and beer is cold… Almost always live music too.“

“Rustic, great food and service!“

“Came Up To Work In The Area Today To Repair Some Horse Trailers And I Was Told By A Local Resident James Lacono Megan Coltrane And A Couple Of Others. What an Amazing Place. The atmosphere was incredible the outside seating area look very relaxing. It was busy when I was there so I chose to sit inside nice tables lots of TVs. The staff was amazing and the owner was a very nice lady. I apologize. I forgot her name but she thanked me and it was just a great time. I will definitely be back.“

“Great pizza for many many years at a good price. We will continue to go there for a pizza needs in the Rancho Santa Margarita area“

“I don’t think I’ve ever loved a restaurant as much as I love this place. The food is absolutely beyond amazing and their chips and salsa are to die for. I probably come here at least once a week and I’ve never gotten sick of it nor will I ever.“

“My daughter, Camille brought back leftovers from her meal here tonight. Excellent vegan options and she appreciated the respectful and kind hospitality. She appreciated her conversation with Niel (Neal?) and hopes to return. Thank you for the complimentary nan as well“

“So healthy and tastes like a treat!“

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!“

“Had dinner again with our favorite server, Eleasha. She never skips a beat. She’s always smiling and keeps us on our toes laughing. Love coming to see her when we are in town. Sirloin was great tonight. But we don’t come for the food. ❤️❤️“

“The service here is great they make sure your drinks are full and they are very friendly. I love lasagna but this was just ok! I’ll have to try something different next time. Also the bruschetta was just OK. Guess I’m a little spoiled because My daughter makes it so good. I’ll definitely be back to try another dish!“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“Traveling with my partner and mother-in-law who are gluten free and also allergic to dairy we’re always looking for places that have a labeled menu or can give good options. The waiter helped us find a couple of great options (goat curry, Chana masala, and mint chicken) which were great!“

“Loved their chocolate desert!“

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“I recomend her cake!! we love what she created for us , RV cake for my husband, it look so real and great that I did not wanted to cut it. thank you“

“Hi. I was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had fish with shrimp (creole on top) . I sat in the bar & the waitress was nice but I asked her if the entry was spicy & she reassured me it was not spicy. Well, it DID have a big kick to it & I could only eat about 1/3 of it because of that. She never came back soon after she served it to ask me how it was or I would have told her it WAS spicy. Your caesar salad was DELICIOUS & I highly recommend it. And your cheesecake with raspberry topping was good too. Had a glass of wine also. Sorry but I won't be back because the entry I ordered was spicy & told it wasn't . That was disappointing.“

“I had an amazing experience, worth spending $60. Went there with my mom and the service was great. Syeda was very kind and her friendly personality was a cherry on top of all the other things the restaurant had to offer. Highly, highly recommended.“

“Welp! As the owner, I have to say it’s a sweet lil spot with great food on the weekends and a perfect spot to pick up anything you need during the week. A great getaway from the madness downtown and a place to reflect and be grateful.“

“The staff here is excellent!!!! These guys are always running around doing their best to serve people. I FORGOT you okay it the front so bring cash for a tip. I felt I didnt5 leave as much as I sgould have, I'm sorry. Really awesome and welcoming. Haven't been here since I was a kid. Totally fun for the nostaliga love. The salad bar was awesome, glad to see it open again. Good prices for everything as well. Life you get tons of healthy options here! They still have the cheese toast! That was my treat with the salad. The food is good and simple. Perfect spot for picky eaters, I saw plenty of kids getting food and actually eating it.“

“What a great place to eat, talk, and enjoy, food made fresh when ordered, the atmosphere reminded me of Sunday dinner, with family and friends. I would highly recommend this gem.“

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰“

“Fast ... very friendly... great foods and great prices... A+++++....“

“We just moved to Mission Viejo and found this place. We love Mexican food and have been to many places at all price ranges. Casitas Tacos beat them all in a tiny little place. Great friendly service, large menu selection, best home made tortilla chips and salsa, and the food is incredibly delicious. Love this place and will keep coming back.“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing“

“Amazing food and the staff were so incredibly nice! I keep telling everyone about it. I’m coming BACK.“

“they always change their menu. we drive down here from irvine to find out what we like ismt on the menu today its only on the menu on certain days we asked the server when is it on the menu and he didnt know. We won't be back. how hard is it to keep the menu the same? I can see lunch and dinner menus but changin the dinner menus all the time?“

“This is the best Hawaiian Breakfast location in Laguna Niguel!! Well done!“

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃“

“Had a wonderful evening out with my wife at Ironwood Cellars in Laguna Hills. We had reservations for 5:30 p.m. and arrived early. We were greeted by Joe, the manager on duty, who was very kind, professional, and welcoming. Art was our server and is amazingly gifted in customer service professionalism and overall people skills. Yes, showing the love. We started with tequilla drinks from the bar, and we each had a wedge salad. Joe sent us over a wonderful Agnolotti appetizer as well, which was more than kind. The ambiance was positive and upbeat, perfect for the evening. Sergio was also quite attentive in making sure our table was serviced properly. We ordered our entrees with my wife having the halibut dinner, and I had the famous giant meatball dish. Both meals were hot & tasty and presented well. We had a terrific time, and Art surprised us with a complimentary dessert 🍨 with berries. The restaurant is so nice and offers an outdoor patio and bar seating as well. The wine list is extensive, as are the craft beers. Highly recommended.“

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.“

“I visited my brother who lives locally. He took me and our other brother here because he loves this place and goes frequently. Being a wine lover, he let me pick our dinner wine. Came across an O’Shaughnessy Cabernet and had to stop right there. I know the product, had the pleasure of drinking this with Luke Russ when he did a wine dinner in northern Illinois a few years back. The owner saw the bottle on our table and introduced himself to us and we talked about Luke. Great moment. Fabulous food! Asparagus fries, halibut, deviled eggs, butter cake…. It was all fabulous! Look forward to returning!“

“This place is adorable. We've been here a few times now. Food is good and drinks are great. I mean who wouldn't like googly eyes on their sandwich bun and coconut drink?!“

“The Chili Fries, and the Stand Burger is the Best.“

“This place- wow! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. It was DELICIOUS. and felt good and fresh and healthy. The server/order taker was incredibly friendly and helpful. I got a chicken plate (Malai Tikka) and my husband got a butter chicken curry. Both delicious. The water was even yummy- infused with lemon, mint and cucumber.“

“We tried the Chicken Marsala, Lobster Ravioli and Gnocchi in VodkaSauce along with the Piccolino dinner salad and Tiramisu. All was magnifico! 😘“

“Great food! Great service! Never disappoints!“

“Great service, great food!!👏“

“Cool vibe, good food. Happy hour daily from 2-5 with 50% off beer and wine. My only complaint would be the table tops were sticky/dirty looking. Not from lack of cleaning, just seemed to be the varnish they used on the wood. Also, the garlic parm fries are coated in a garlic butter. Very greasy/oily. If you're not into greasy fries, steer clear. Overall though, I would recommend, and I will be back.“

“Well we visited Foothill Ranch Round Table, we carried out, last night, ordered pizzas it was great taste and your service staff was attentive who gave us a Beverage drink on the house! While we waited we had a 3 year old and 7 year old grandsons and me the Grandma and my son and wife! Amazing staff courteous and friend! Would recommend to anyone this Foothill pizza as well because of the honor to our Guadalupe Treaty to Mexico and staff also speak Spanish! Love the United States and my Mexican Nationality! Thank you for embracing diversity, which makes USA the greatest place to live for me! My mother was born in USA and my Dad in Mexico. We are all humans in this world! Thank you“

“Absolutely love Bravo Avo! Everyone who works here is genuinely kind and so attentive to every little detail…not just when taking your order, but in how they care for the entire restaurant. It’s spotless, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The new look is stunning, great move on the lighter colors; they’ve truly leveled it up! And the food? Still top-tier, fresh, and full of flavor. This is what a family-run business is all about, all heart, quality, and pride in everything they do. The best in Foothill Ranch, hands down!“

“pasta , lasagna very friendly polite and helpful waiter“

“Great donuts and excellent service“

“This is a true classic. Five of us visited Snooty Fox on a Saturday morning and were greeted by a dining room packed with locals. We were lucky to find the only empty table and settled right in.
Their coffee tastes like something brewed at home decades ago—simple, comforting, and without any fancy alternatives.
The menu, however, offers plenty of choices: melted cheese, runny yolks, hearty portions, and dishes that feel like they were just brought out of a family kitchen. The decor is humble and nostalgic, adding to the old-school charm.

During our meal, people kept coming in, and soon there were one or two groups waiting by the door. Still, tables turn over quickly, so the wait isn’t too long. It’s clear this place is well-loved by locals. A warm, traditional spot that delivers exactly the kind of comfort food you hope for.“

“Lovely experience Charming All around and great food 💕“

“TK Burgers is one of those classic Orange County spots that reminds you why simple food done right still wins. The place has that old-school surf shack vibe that feels authentic to the beach communities around here. It’s casual, quick, and the staff always seem to keep things moving even when the line gets long.

The burgers are solid and exactly what you want from a traditional California burger stand. Fresh grilled patties, soft buns, and simple toppings that don’t try to overcomplicate things. Everything tastes fresh off the grill and you can tell they’ve been doing it the same way for years. It’s not trying to be trendy or fancy. It’s just good, classic burger stand food that hits the spot every time.

Where TK Burgers really separates itself from the pack is the fries. And honestly, this is where I think they beat In-N-Out pretty easily. In-N-Out has great burgers, but their fries can be a little hit or miss depending on the batch. TK Burgers consistently serves fries that are crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and actually seasoned well. They taste like proper old-school burger stand fries, the kind you keep reaching back into the basket for even after you’re full.

The portions are generous, the prices are fair for Orange County, and the atmosphere feels laid back and local. You’ll see surfers, families, and longtime regulars all grabbing a quick meal. It’s the kind of place that feels like it’s been part of the community forever.

If you’re in Orange County and craving a straightforward, no-nonsense burger and fries, TK Burgers delivers. And if you’re someone who’s always wished In-N-Out had better fries, this place will probably win you over pretty quickly. Except for their service which is just “Meh”

Sorry this time I ate my burger too fast to take a photo of it.“

“Absolute S tier Mexican restaurant that family owned and operated. The chips and salsa are made in house, and the bean dip is absolutely amazing. The Carmelita combination is the best value, and allows you to try so many different items which are all delicious. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing overseeing the lake.“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“Amazing food, especially the blackened shrimp and the Chile Verde quesatacos! we first tried a few days ago, and I've been craving it ever since!“
