“We love our local watering hole. They made my wedding cake 45 years ago. Thank you Rockwells!“

“We stopped in at the bakery portion of this restaurant and it was amazing. The staff were so friendly and kind and gave us amazing recommendations! We had the ding dong cake, cinnamon rolls and pecan roll. And they were all to die for! Will be coming back here again“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“

“Great sports and beer bar. They have lots of TVs playing a variety of games. Their beer list is pretty good where they mix the standard beer selections with local craft beer selections. Service is always great...they serve by committee so you can order and ask question from whatever server is nearby. Very good food for a beer/sports bar.“

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!“

“Have been here several times.
Most memorable was when my best friend's picked me up after a 3 week vacation and brought me here.
Katie welcomed us with a huge smile. She was professional, customer oriented and genuinely caring and friendly. Thank you!!“

“This bar is clean and the prices are great!!! Friendly bartenders and patrons �“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“This is THE BEST fine dining steakhouse in North OC with a vibrant, classy atmosphere. From the steaks and seafood to the cocktails and old-fashioneds… everything is amazing. We’ve been patrons since it opened and would even order takeout (even old-fashioneds to go!) during the pandemic. A splurge but absolutely worth it.“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“My wife and I love this place! It's tucked into a corner of the strip mall and attached to a number of food options. It's windows are usually open so it's a great stop on a nice afternoon. Omar is an upbeat, fun bartender with creative drink ideas and a joy to hang with. Good music, nice vibes and a cherished secret in a sea of corporate offices.“

“Great place for drinks bartender was awesome and super nice. Great beer selection and great music too“

“Jared was great. Beautiful place great atmosphere“

“They are very kind to the public.“

“Was walking by and went in to use the restroom. Was warmly greeted by the bartender and some patrons who were obviously regulars.
I decided to have a cold one and was pleasantly surprised by the price of a beer.
I'll definitely return and will recommend the Bottoms Up Tavern to my friends.“

“I went to The Blind Rabbit to celebrate an anniversary, and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was great, and the drinks were excellent. Ruben, our bartender, really made the night even better with his great service and recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a unique spot with a great vibe.“

“It was fun! Great atmosphere and great people!“

“A strip mall bar, that is exactly what it should be. Locals at the bar, cheap drinks and a jukebox playing. Will return for the drink prices alone and I'll stay for the good vibes.
Also the beer selection was excellent. Just good ol' reliable classics. Not a whole lot for the beer nerds but this isn't really that kinda place.“

“Great place love going there !“

“👍🏻like it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“It was my first time here, and the quality of the drinks, food, service, and prices all blew me away. The bartender was so friendly, made my drink perfectly, and she was running the whole bar and seating area without breaking a sweat. You can tell they use fresh garlic and parsley for their garlic fries, and a 50 cent pool game is the lowest I've ever seen. It seems like a great local spot, I was surprised how full it was for a Monday night. I 100% want to come back here the next time I'm staying in town. :)“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Come here for happy hour. Cheap drinks“

“Pancho's for more years than many of us have been alive!! So they have had more than enough time to perfect their recipes and hand them down to whoever comes along into the kitchen to cook them up next! The vibe is great! With big big puck and roll dark red and green booths for two or four or more. And Mary was decor to go with it-- including some plaster parrots up on perches! Their food is terrific. The vibe is marvelous and a throwback to another era! If you're not looking for fancy schmancy-- but solid, tasty, more traditional Mexican meals.. this is the place for you! It's definitely the place for me!“

“Dole whip float with Tajin (you have to ask for it).“

“Great little place to have a quick drink or spend a Friday or Saturday night. They have multiple TV sets for watching the game,two pool tables and an old school shuffle board .the place is clean and even they bathrooms were kept clean and fresh.The bartender was a beautiful young woman with an affectionate smile and was busy and still made sure to c g neck on her customers and make sure they were good.i would recommend this spot over any other in the Tustin area come down to nite it's always funn“

“The girlfriend and I just moved here and checked this place out as it was close to home and had great reviews.

I had the smash burger and she had the chicken sandwich; both were delicious and the fact that they offer sweet potato fries is a plus. Extra points for the ranch, which was some of the best I’ve had and I never have ranch with anything.

Bartender didn’t have what I wanted but suggested an alternative and we both liked it.

The place is a vibe and definitely worth checking out.“

“Nice place and good environment“

“I have coming to this location for about a year now and have had the privileged to me most of all of the bartenders and to be honest I sometimes only stop by to grab food .. my fave is bacon wrapped hot dog , it’s loaded and so yummy. Also, all the finger foods are amazing and I’m able take home to indulge during my movie nights at home. One last thing - Amanda the bartender is one of my favs she’s so nice and even with a full bar she makes you feel like you’re the only one there giving you all the attention.“

“Heroes, especially this one in particular, might just be my favorite restaurant! I've been going here for a span of 20 year's & I've never had a bad meal! The go to right off the bat for me & my family of course are the the nachos insider hack add chicken, but that's just the beginning. Do yourself a favor & pull up. You won't be disappointed.“

“Literally all I’ve wanted in a bar. Low key, 80s - 2000s music along with their music videos on multiple screens. Kinda gothic look inside. Dj Grego putting out multiple fire tracks de rock en español that’ll have you dancing around all night long.. April’s gotcha on them waters quick! drink specials! A very chill AF vibe! My hats off to you guys ? ???

Parking: No problems with parking! :)“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food will exceed your expectations. The only improvement I would love to see is beers on tap.“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“Hit the mark, prices ok, 24/7 Willy Wonka on TV👍“

“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer“

“Rise Rooftop lounge was a great dining experience. Had the California role and fries and both were delicious! Staff was great and very attentive. We felt very seen even with various private parties happening around us. We had a great view of the Disney Park fireworks if that is something you are interested in. Highly Recommend.“

“Really enjoyed the food! Very busy place on a Friday night, we had to wait a half hour for a table. The service was great, though, and the place was very clean. Food was very good, and I find it to be a great value getting soup and salad included in the cost of an entree.

Will definitely come back!“

“Great dive bar. Pool and darts“

“Great Bar to meet up with friends. A bit noisy but, still can talk. Large bar with a Huge selection of drinks that the bartender can prepare by asking. Televisions set on sports to enjoy and two pool tables and even a ping pong table. The Bartender was Beautiful, Sweet and Courteous.“

“amazing atmosphere! the crowd at the bar is the best in orange county. beat prices in town, great community, all the Regulars make you feel welcome!“
