Heard this place was very good so my wife and I decided to make the 45 minute drive to try it. Very nice place and great atmosphere, however the rest was so-so. We were the only people there and it took almost 5 minutes to be greeted. Wife ordered a tea that tasted like water. I asked about drafts and was told, there's a menu on the wall in the other room by the bar. After we got our drinks, it took almost 15 minutes, being the only people there, to have our order taken. Ordered the garlic bread sticks as an appetizer and a pizza. The pizza came first. Each had a slice of pizza before the bread sticks came out. The bread sticks were not good. Most of them where hollow and crunchy. Not worth having. The pizza was good. I would have the pizza again, but won't drive 45 minutes just for it. The waitress was very nice but the service was not good. In all, if I lived there, I would give it another try but I won't make the trip just to try it again. Hope they have much success as it's a very nice place.

Had 2 draft beers. Got billed for three. Brought it to the attention of the manager and he said I had 3. I know the difference between 2 and 3. Paid for a beer I did not get.

Incredible food at a good price. If you haven't had the long branch fries, it's an absolute must! I tried their hot honey pizza (sounds crazy maybe, I know) and was absolutely blown away at how good it was. My girl got the mountain mushroom and was beyond impressed. Great staff, good vibes. Couldn't say enough good things.

We stopped here while passing through. The food was really good. The pepperoni roll and fried banana peppers were fantastic. We will definitely stop here the next time we are in town.

Disappointing, hostess/waitress extremely LACKADAISICAL❗ As if she didn't want to be there. Pizza was extremely Salty, even for pepperoni. I ordered the double pep, there was not double pep, more like a regular pep in Michigan. Other pizza was salty as well but more content to it. See pics. We where 1 of 2 tables there for lunch.

Good Pizza. Their Diablo is HOT. Same company as Apollo's if I'm not mistaken. Edit: my original post was 3 years ago. Whatever has happened over the years has taken a toll. Pizza quality has gone down and no service. Cost me 40 bucks at I ended up not being able to finish my pizza because it was so bad. It's basically melted cheese on flat bread... Bring back the old Steam Engine!!! Pictured was the "regular crust." 3 years ago it was actual pizza. It's sad because Irvine could use a nice pizza joint.
This is as hometown as you can get ? Delicious pizza with the small town appeal. My husband and I first encountered this place a little over a month ago when we moved to Irvine from Arizona. We love it so much, that we make a point to pop in at least once a week for the savory Pizza. You'll love the food, but the staff is top notch! Be sure to try their pickle chips. The best I've ever had ?

This was just fire loved the tots and the Italian sub we also got a hot brown pizza ?
Went in today during the festival. Saw a sign that said "seat yourself" so we walked through the restaurant to find there were no seats available. Completely understandable that they were swamped because of the festival but why not have an employee at the door saying there would be a wait?What ended up happening was three different groups of people were standing waiting for the same table to be bussed where a group eventually left.We noticed during this time that in the entire packed restaurant every table had drinks and nobody had food. Literally nobody. We took that as a sign and left.

Do not go to this place during the mushroom festival. I wanted to try this so bad but we waited over an hour for food before leaving. There was at least 4 families waiting on their food before we even sat down and we overhead they had been there an hour prior to us getting there. The server did bring us drinks right away. They cleaned the plates from the Table but not the crumbs and food stains on the tables. It was swamped I'm not going to lie but we left and went to a vendor outside called Apollo pizza ordered a whole pizza and got it under 20 mins.
Not enough staff
