Cousin's Restaurant & Catering

First time eating at Cousins tonight. The portions were huge and really loved the dressing on the salad. Had to try the bread pudding (takeout) because we heard it was delicious. Our waitress, Michelle was so nice! Would definitely eat here again.

The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and Michelle is FANTASTIC!! Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

They were exceptionally cautious and accommodating to my friend who suffers with Celiacs disease. She enjoyed salmon with a mango salsa with freshly cut steamed vegetables. Each one of our party of 6 enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious, very generous portions. We loved the salad dressing and the bread. I had the Cousin's Special which was filled with shrimp, scallops and crabmeat. I only ate half because it was a huge bowl. My husband had the chicken tortellini which he said was very good. Our issue was with the service. It was not busy at all. Our food was delivered by the other server, and she didn't ask if we needed anything else. Our original server never asked us how the food was or if we needed anything. I had to flag her down to ask for parmesan cheese. The 2 servers were standing behind our booth just chit chatting while my husband tried to get her attention to ask for drink refills. While we greatly enjoyed the food, we would hesitate going back based on the service.

Michele did an absolute wonderful job serving our table last night. She was very busy, but never let it show. Great food. Wonderful experience. Will definitely will be back.

Wow, I am not sure where to start. I placed an online order while on vacation in OC because my daughter was cranky and didn’t want to bring a screaming kid to dinner. My mother went in for me to pick up the food. She came back to my car with food in hand and told me the lady was extremely rude! On their online ordering, you can add beverages at the very top. The brunette waitress told my mom that they don’t do beverages to go. When we asked for utensils, she said this was a fine dining restaurant and do not do take out. please tell me why you can place orders online if they don’t do take out. My mom was so upset and taken back, she didn’t want to make any more of a scene this waitress was causing by her attitude. By the time we got back to our hotel, I received a phone call telling me we forgot our soup…. we didn’t forget… they did… and wouldn’t give me a refund over the phone. now I have to go tomorrow for my refund in person. ** also they have a big service fee for ordering online… even though “they don’t do online ordering”. wow. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ********* on a side note, they forgot my daughters meatball in the kids meal, and the food is very mediocre at best especially for the price. Some find dining… ???

We have been coming to Cousins for many years and I have never had a bad meal here before. Everything is super tasty, fresh and the service is always top notch.

Called to tell them there seafood was going bad . Never got a call back. Pasta sauce is not good at all. Will never eat there again. Used to be good 40 yrs ago. The reason for my comment is when your meal comes out with flys around your seafood and won't leave your table it's bad. Told the waitress and said oh well. Didn't care at all,

We always head home on Friday and save Thursday night for our last dinner here. Again the food was spot on and the place was hopping! Our server Sarah did a great job balancing the # of customers and the complexity of so many different entrees!

We’ve been visiting for years during our annual visit to OC. This visit was a bit disappointing due to a very long wait for our meal to be prepared only to BF e served the wrong order. They admitted to the problem, expedited or original order and discounted the meal. No we appreciate all of that, however it just did not turn out to be the evening we were looking forward to. The picture is the bruschetta appetizer (overly garlic). The house salad was a hit - great dressing - and the bread was fresh. The eggplant parmigiana was good - when it finally arrived. Yes, we will be back next year … we’ll see!

Bread was served microwaved and rubbery!
Salad served warm in a warm bowl!
Salad dressing was tasty but also warm!
Pasta was served Al dente as ordered but the clam sauce was strangely thickened and needed fresh garlic and parsley not basil
Our second entree was eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti. The eggplant was okay but sorry to say the tomato sauce was the worst i’ve ever had anywhere!

Came to visit AC for vacation. Difficult to find places to eat as I have a high shellfish allergy. Chef and staff were more than accommodating to my allergy and very friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Website said that they were open so when we got there they were closed.
