Thanks to their deal, I was able to explore a lot of unique drinks on their menu without going broke. They have other daily deals too on food items like their waffles. I believe it was a BOGO deal for that so I got to try 2 flavors. My favorite item on their menu is the Chipotle steak quesadilla and I literally crave for it from time to time. The interior vibes of this brunch spot is really cute and there's even a little secluded area that would be good for a group to come together. The service here is a little slow and is a hit or miss.. Parking is easy because there is a huge parking garage right next to it.

Took over an hour to receive the food, it was a busy morning so I understand it if it was a one off time. But I had a similar experience in 2024 where there was a hair in my food, no problem to me at all as they offered to bring me a fresh plate. It took so long, that my friend had finished her meal and we both just wanted to head out. Seems like it's a common experience unfortunately. I still recommend it, but hope this can be managed a bit better.

Now, the negatives: the salad seemed to be of poor quality, and it ended up on my mom's plate, which completely ruined her experience since it was her first time visiting. The place wasn't even busy, yet service was slow--I asked for water multiple times, and it took a while for them to bring it. Normally, I would complain, but this time I chose not to tip because the food quality was subpar.

To locate the restaurant, go up the stairs on the side. Happy hour is every day, 4-6PM The drinks are good and they have a good selection of beers and cocktails. You order at the bar and the service is quick. The food, however, is underwhelming. Regular fries are not great but the Cajun fries are better. Fries are enough to feed 2-3 people. The chicken tenders on the other hand are very small, and you get more sauce than chicken. The good thing about it is that the food was cheaper during happy hour. Some of the chairs/benches were uncomfortable, but overall, sitting outside is nice.

I came in with friends and ordered a pitcher along with several shots. The server, a young white male, brought the shots and only one cup of beer. I immediately told him I had ordered a pitcher, but he insisted I never said that -- even though I had already been charged. To avoid arguing, I told him to just bring a pitcher and charge me again respectfully. He refused and told me I would have to go back and wait in line if I wanted one. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said the manager was unavailable. We later noticed him walking around the patio taking pitcher requests from other customers and bringing them directly to their tables without sending them back in line. We politely asked again, and he said "okay," but repeatedly ignored us, walking past our table multiple times. When my friend followed up, he suddenly claimed he couldn't serve us and again told us to get back in line. There was no clear reason for the difference in treatment. Watching others get served while we were repeatedly refused, despite being respectful customers, made the situation feel discriminatory. As Latino customers in a predominantly Latino community, the behavior came across as biased and unacceptable. It's extremely disappointing because I've supported this place for nearly a decade and had never experienced anything like this before. Unfortunately, this interaction completely changed my view of this establishment. I would not recommend coming here if respectful and fair service matters to you.

I went with the Cuban sandwich (forgot to ask for no tomatoes, but easily removed them). It came with a small side of cold macaroni salad that was flavorful with a nice peppery kick. The sandwich was really good and came out quickly. All the condiments were within easy reach, which was convenient. The only downsides: I stood there for a minute or two before staff looked up from their phones to help me, and the fried ham was a bit greasy and heavy on my stomach. Overall, solid experience -- I'd rate it a 4.1/5. Would definitely come back for the sandwich and mac salad!

There's also some metered street parking if you can find a spot. We made a reservation but it wasn't necessary on a Tuesday night. Our server, Ayda, was great! She explained all the menu options and gave great recommendations. To drink, we had a Paloma ($13) and a Banana Bread Old Fashioned ($16). For dinner, we went with the $35 3-course Restaurant Week special. Appetizer, we did beef empanada and lumpia. Both came with a homemade sauce (chimichurri for the empanada and a sweet chili for the lumpia) that were divine. Main course, my partner did the Royale With Cheese (great name!). It came with a TON of fries and was a large burger too. Really big portion. I did the bacon wrapped meatloaf. I was hesitant, but I really liked it! It was not dry like I remember other meatloafs I've had in the past being. It was also a fairly large portion, came with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Finally, dessert was served! Vanilla bread pudding. It was delicious! Our server offered us coffee with our dessert and ended up not charging us for if when the wait ended up being a bit longer than expected. She didn't have to do that, but we did appreciate her thoughtfulness with that! We saw they have live jazz on Wednesday nights, so we definitely want to return for that!

I also come here for brunch often, and I've been wanting to try their dinner menu next. The vibe is a cool bar setting, and they're always showing the games.

Their beers on tap are great; I usually gravitate toward those and their brunch drinks like the Espresso Martini and Irish Coffee. The staff is chill and friendly, and even though it's usually pretty busy, they stay on top of everything.

They were very attentive, also patient when we needed time deciding between all the interesting menu items. As we were deciding our server made sure we didn't have any allergies which was very thoughtful. The Food: We decided to order the Short Rib Benedict, the Chicken & Waffles, and the Pancake Flight. I'll start with the Benedict-- best Benedict I've ever had. Poblano cream sauce was legendary, Barbados was perfect and the corn cakes on the bottom were great texture and flavor. The chicken and waffles was also very good. Perfectly fried and crispy, served with a blackberry butter that was unique and delicious. For the pancake flight we could choose three different flavors so we got the Lemon Dream, Tiramisu, and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. All were fantastic, if you are a lemon dessert fan you will love the Lemon Dream Pancakes. Everything about our experience was so great. The food, the calm atmosphere and the amazing service.

The pictures and reviews of the French omelette with caviar and sourdough pancakes sold us! When we arrived, the parking situation was seamless and easy to find a spot. The place isn't big but the aesthetic is clean and simple. You go up to the register to get seated. There was a wait list since this is a cozy spot but they had chairs available outside of the entrance. The time waiting was little longer than promised but not too bad. Once we were called to our table, we had iced water cups on the table with the menus and table settings. We already knew what we wanted - a horchata iced latte and a steak breakfast burrito for me and a black strap molasses iced latte and crispy chicken sando for my bestie. We also got sourdough pancakes and the cinnamon roll to share. The coffee came first then food was pretty quickly after and presentation was beautiful. The breakfast burrito was so delicious. The scrambled eggs in the burrito were cooked perfectly and they had a perfect amount of steak pieces. They brought a strawberry haberno hot sauce for the table and it made it even tastier. I preferred that sauce over the side of green sauce. I then tried a bite of the chicken sando and wow the flavor you get in the bite was also so, so good. We also enjoyed the sourdough pancakes with the crispy edges and the cinnamon roll had the perfect amount of cinnamon! This cinnamon roll had pistachio pieces on top and it wasn't too overwhelming. As for the iced lattes, I preferred my bestie's latte more than the horchata one. The horchata one had a burnt aftertaste. Other than that, food and service was TOP NOTCH! We were greeted and treated with the best hospitality from Alex. Thank you so much! We really can't wait to come back to try other tasty menu options and will more than likely be frequently patronizing Santa Ana Brunch Club!

It's in an unassuming part of town, so not near much else. To start - the Horchata latte- DIVINE. I would get this everyday all day.

Then the chef came by and brought the housemade mango habanero hot sauce- it took everything to another level. My friend had the city plate and really enjoyed her meal too. Ask for the donuts and enjoy every bite!
