    Just came and they're closed. Yelp says they close in 27 min and when we got there they were closed. Disappointed

    Great little place that makes an amazing burger (and pastrami). Fries are freshly made as well as the fried zucchini (to make you think your eating healthy). If you have live in the area, you know what an icon this place is. Anytime I'm in the area, I try to go by A&J's.

    A&J Burger Drive In has that warm, family-run charm that makes you want to root for them. I stopped by during a packed car show weekend, and despite the chaos, the staff was friendly and working non-stop. It was great to see them so busy. This plaza has a couple of businesses close, so I really hope more people support this spot. I had the chicken nuggets (solid!), my husband loved his burger, and they gave us a generous amount of fries. There are a few outdoor benches, which is a nice touch. I wasn't sure how the drive-in part worked with all the car show traffic, but we'll definitely be back!

    Great family owned restaurants. Been around for years here in Fullerton. All the food is so Good. Chili Verde fries are Fire!!!! Must try but spicy heat. I've had a lot to try over the years but Bacon cheeseburger takes the win. The combos are good. The ice in the drinks are crushed cubes. They even have cherry coke. Burgers are big. The onion rings are delish also. Gotta try this mom pop shop, they have it together. Cheers Many more years

    Chile verde fries
    Alicia A.

    The Chile verde fries are delicious!!! I crave them alot. I just wish they wouldn't use the pork fat in it. But damn it's so good I love it when it's spicy. Chile verde burritos are good too. They need to fry their own hard shell for the tacos. Taco Bell shells no bueno.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a comfortable atmosphere, but seating is limited. It can get busy during peak hours, so waiting is expected. There are also outdoor tables along the street that you can use when the weather is nice. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good option for a casual breakfast or brunch. They were out of cold brew during my visit, so I ordered an iced coffee instead, but it was served a bit lukewarm, which was slightly disappointing. The omelet and Cobb salad were both flavorful and well prepared. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, a cozy breakfast spot with solid food and a welcoming atmosphere.

The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere. There are plenty of seating areas, making it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. The overall vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes me want to keep coming back.

    ALWAYS great food & service!…read more We come here semi-regularly and are never disappointed. From the fact that you can check in on Yelp prior to your arrival to avoid a long wait to how amazing their homemade juice mimosa flight is, the experience at Early Bird is always top notch. Every employee there genuinely seems to enjoy their job and are always really attentive, kind and on top of their game. I don't think we've ever had an order messed up or item forgotten in all the times we've gone. Food is always so good as well! We love the rancho Benedict with carnitas and avocado mash. They've even done it on sliced tomato for me instead of an English muffin upon request. We also enjoy the biscuits and gravy. The Elvis waffle with bacon and banana is to die for as is the Brioche French toast. The Real Deal Holyfield Steak & Eggs is the way to go if you're craving something extra hearty. Coffee is piping hot and regularly refilled and OJ is fresh squeezed as well. If you're feeling adventurous, check out their specials board at the front for something cool and unique.

But now that I've kind of moved on from my Bennie phase, I found myself staring at the menu wondering what to order instead. After going back and forth for a while, I decided on the Serrano Chicken Sandwich - and it ended up being a great choice according to our server. It had a really nice spicy kick, and I especially loved the crunchy onions that added extra texture to every bite. I picked the mixed greens salad as my side, though the dressing made it a little too sour for my taste so I couldn't finish it. My boyfriend, who's a big omelette person, ordered the veggie omelette. It was decent, though I do wish they offered more than just 4 omelette options on the menu. Overall, still a good brunch spot with good food and a nice atmosphere.

They have a good selection of American food, and I ordered chicken risotto ($24) from the "favorites" section of the menu. Portion sizes here are good, and we were very full after dinner. Service here was basic, and we got everything we needed. Friday night is also a peak time at Downtown Fullerton, so it was hard to find parking spot. However, the ambience here was relaxed. While the chicken risotto was pricy, I enjoyed the mixed flavors and large portion size. The flavor came from the caper-parmesan beurre blanc sauce. It's a slightly creamy butter sauce with mild sweetness and added flavor from white wine. The capers added a very welcome tangy and savory seasoning to the sauce; they're one of my favorite garnishes. The flavors from the breaded chicken and risotto weren't too strong. However, I would've liked the dish more with if they put less parmesan because I enjoyed the flavor from the beurre blanc sauce the most.

However, I recommend parking in their parking lot, in the back. That way, you get a view of the garden before you place your order. It's still nice in the front, very welcoming. You walk through the gate, up the stairs, and through the front door. It's nicely air conditioned inside. Indoor seating looks like someone's dining room. The counter is near the back, on the left hand side. I grabbed a menu to take a look before I ordered. Food items listed on one side of the menu, and so many drink options on the other side. Little overwhelming. Too many choices. Coffee and non-coffee drinks. Although they offer paninis and avocado toast, I ordered a regular spicy pork cupbap ($15) and Dubai chocolate latte, iced ($7.75), paid at the counter, and received a pager. When the pager started buzzing, I went inside to pickup my order. My drink was basically a dessert in a cup. Absolutely delicious. So many wonderful ingredients on top. The spicy pork cupbap is spicy. I mixed it all up like I would any bibimbap. It consisted of white rice, glass noodles, red cabbage, pork, and a perfectly fried egg on top. Delicious. They offer a large size, but regular is more than enough. I decided to sit outside, in the back, to get the full garden experience. Although Fullerton is a little warm in June, the garden is absolutely wonderful. It's like sitting in someone's backyard, but on steroids. You shouldn't have trouble finding a spot to sit. There are so many tables and chairs, all over the place, around every corner: In the main garden, in the garden in front, on both sides of the cafe, on both porches, the one in the back and smaller one in front. It's a garden of Eden, with a large, fruitful lemon tree standing in the center. Green plants and trees all over the place, flowering plants and succulents. There's a large gazebo and umbrellas to shade you from the sun. Fun, whimsical displays throughout the garden, including bird houses, curated displays, and miniature communities. Service was welcoming and efficient. I highly recommend this cafe if you're looking for a nice outdoor garden to eat, drink, and hang out.
