For this area, I'd say its not a bad choice. It has a wide menu for breakfast and lunch with the typical burger items and sandwiches. That's nothing here that will blow your socks off but the prices are decent and quality is typical of the food in this area. There's plenty of seating in door and out. It shares the same parking as sprouts so there's plenty of parking. It's service at the counter and employees have always been nice. read more

This used to be one of my top 3 favorite burger places in OC. The menu is huge, tons of options, and the service was top notch. We even met the owner here one day and she was super nice. The food is still very good, but the management and service level has really slipped in the last year or two. They are horribly understaffed. We came in at 7pm during dinner rush, and the place had at least 20 customers inside, but only one person working the register and two people in the kitchen. That's it. 3 people during dinner rush. The cashier was on the phone for at least 10 minutes while we stood at the counter waiting to order, and never even acknowledged us. There were 5 finished orders sitting under the warming lights for those entire 10 minutes, with the customers still waiting for their food. When the cashier finally hung up the phone, she still did not acknowledge any of us waiting to order. She finally took all the backed up orders to customers, but never once said "I'm so sorry for the wait, I'll be right with you." She never acknowledged our presence at all until she finally came over to take our order. When we finally ordered she proceeded to tell us they were out of every kind of fries on the menu. No fries at all. What kind of burger joint runs out of fries? Crazy. So we just got burgers and a drink. Unsurprisingly, it took another 15-20 minutes to get our order. So all told, more than 30 minutes after we arrived before we finally started eating. That being said, the burgers were very good. And their menu is huge. Tons of options for everyone. If they can fix their staffing and management issues, and improve their customer service, this could be 5 stars again. But right now the service is far below the food quality. read more

Deemers American Grill - Napa Burger & garlic fries - American Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I used to love this place when it first opened. They had the best onion rings and burgers. They eventually got rid of the onion rings but everything else was great. The original owners sold the business and it went down hill. I ordered dinner from Uber eats. Burger was gross. I saw onion rings on the menu and had high hopes but no, they were just the frozen fast food restaurant type. and then my shake had this weird piece of I don't know what in it!! Mark this place off my list! read more

Awww sad to see you're no longer here. I enjoyed your sandwiches and your chili. Good luck to you!

Had a nice breakfast at Deemers in Laguna Niguel. I ordered the Denver Western omelet, a coffee, and OJ. You place your order at the counter, and staff brings it to your table. Jose and Cheeto were both professional and kind, and the place was clean and orderly. The ambiance is positive, and the background music is upbeat and soothing. Recommended. read more

Good burger joint with some decent beers too. The Napa Burger is consistently great with goat cheese, grilled onions and pesto mayo. Soft bun and high quality meat. The onion rings and garlic fries are both good side items. I used to really like the peanut slaw but it does not taste the same as previous times (maybe it's just a one off), but I will try it again to be sure. Beer selection is limited but good for fast casual experience. Overall good experience and I will go back for another Napa Burger. read more

I thought this restaurant was a sit-down table service, however it was a quick service restaurant. You view the extensive menu, order at the counter and they give you a number to place on your table. Staff will bring out the food to you. I didn't realize the variety of foods that are offered at Deemers, and pricing isn't too tragic. For the burgers, fries do not come with it. The burgers are delicious and cooked well. Juicy, not dry and buns were toasted. read more

Picked up breakfast from here this morning, but I've dined in their outdoor patio before and really loved the fact that there is shaded seating because I don't mix well with the sun. The Foods. - Mediterranean Omelet | Artichokes, tomatoes, and spinach stuffed within the confines of three eggs and sprinkled with feta cheese on top. A great combination of mixed vegetables for those who aren't looking for a heavy breakfast. Comes with a side dish of your choice and in my case, hash browns all day, every day. Crispy on top and soft, stringy mushiness below. The entree also comes with your choice of bread. I went with wheat bread; decision driven by calorie intake. Parking has never been an issue for me. Plenty of parking spaces so pick a spot and make your way over to this great diner where they serve all American classic dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. read more

Great restaurant for a quick meal in the South OC area. Fits that classic American diner vibe and the menu is huge with many items to choose from, ranging from burgers, burritos, to dinner plates. We ordered the Chicken Sandwich, Shroom burger, and a chocolate shake. The food was great and filling, however the patty could be a bit more well-seasoned on the burger. Customer service was great and the employee who attended to us was friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap and quick bite in South OC! Items range from $10-$20 on average. read more

Pretty legit food. Came in for a quick lunch today and I was satisfied with the meal I got. I got the Tuna Melt and it was good. Not my favorite but still delicious. A few too many olives which are it very salty with the capers. I like salty but I could see how some wouldn't like it. I did like the aioli sauce that the olives and capers come in. Definitely a good sandwich that tasted fresh and had a generous portion of tuna. Also got a side of fries. I'm trying not to eat too much fried foods so I'm glad it wasn't a huge portion. But for $2.95 I felt it was a little light on the portion. I also feel that sandwiches like these should come with a small side of fries or garden salad which would cost the restaurant pennies. But overall it was a good Tuna Melt. Place is pretty clean with the workers being friendly and courteous. They were sanitizing the tables and wiping them down. Glad they have Coke products for I hate Pepsi. Overall good place to grab a quick lunch. Will definitely try breakfast next time. read more

Perhaps the biggest joke of a restaurant in Orange County. Rude staff, crappy food, avoid at all costs. McDonald's 100 feet away is honestly better. Ordered a large take out order, several items were incorrect. We called when we got home and realized this and the called to let them know. Here is where the fun begins. The employee on the phone was argumentative saying that 1) we ordered the wrong thing, 2) even if they got it wrong, it "wasn't that big of a deal", and "well what do you want me to do about now?" We said "refund the orders you got wrong to start" and he said, yeah that's not going to happen. Sigh. Not a surprise it is empty at 7pm. read more

Deemers lost customers this evening. We've given them so many chances. They typically mess up our order every single time. Tonight it was undercooked burgers, limp undercooked fries, hard as rocks chicken nuggets. I'm cooking chicken tenders from home because the ones we ordered are inedible, and my husband is pan frying the fries. I called and asked for a refund which they did give and I appreciate but whoever I spoke to didn't offer any kind of apology and was very short with me. Maybe they need new staff, I'm not sure but unfortunately we won't be returning again. Edit in response: my husband chose medium rare for his burger. I chose medium well, you can check the receipt. Mine should not have looked like that. See the receipt pic. Please don't try and blame us for the inedible chicken tenders. Thanks for the apology. read more

Great lunch spot! Delicious Napa Burger with goat cheese, grilled onion and pesto cream sauce, I added bacon of course. Onion rings were delicious. My husband was super happy with the Chili Cheese Fries and Chili Cheese Dog. He described the chili as between Tommy's and The Hat. Tommy's has a deeper, richer flavor and The Hat is more tomatoey. This was in between and he declared it very good. Unlimited iced tea refills. We sat inside and there is also a huge outdoor patio. read more

SALTED FRIES: -- not enough crisp ones -- garlic fried better RATING = A- TWO CABBAGE PEANUT SLAW: -- zero dressing today made it bland -- always a nice choice to add some veg with your less healthy dish -- usually much better RATING = B- CHICKEN WINGS: -- no sauce or barely on it -- not the best rendition for sure -- I'm not a wing guy and prefer nuggets, dark meat fried chicken or dark meat rotisserie garlic chicken so bear that in mind RATING = B+ FRIED ONION RINGS: -- onion could be cooked through more -- nice batter RATING = A- FRIED ZUCCHINI: -- texture not quite right...not cooked inside or not cooked correctly RATING = B STAFF are always friendly and kind here. I would stick with burgers, dogs and maybe sandies. I likely should have tried breakfast today instead. read more

SERVICE IS A 0 .. FOOD IS A 4 I would like to give this place 5 stars but the man that works the register is always rude and makes you feel like we're bothering him. We pass on coming here sometimes because he makes us so uncomfortable with his attitude. The owner should replace him or stick him in the back where he does not deal with customers. We we're there Sunday at 1pm 11/27/2022. My burger was yummy, I had the Gouda burger, the only issue was the arugula was a little old and yellow. My hubby had the steak sandwich with Peanut Cole Slaw which were both really good. read more

The past few times I've been, the food hasn't been quite up to standards. The fries taste of grease in an unpleasant way. The burger patties have tended to be dry and overcooked and not juicy as before. The freshness I loved about this spot when I first discovered it a year ago or so... it's not there anymore. I don't know what happened. read more

We've been coming to deemer's for years and we still love it. It's been a bit and I noticed that they have a massively expanded breakfast menu and have expanded their hours. I wasn't in the mood for breakfast but I'll try that next time. I went with the chicken Cobb salad which it $12 is a bargain in today's post covid hyperinflationary restaurant world. The chicken was season nicely and grilled to order big slab of avocado, bacon, blue cheese and all the other stuff you like. The lady went with the California omelette bacon, mushrooms, avocado and cheese comes with a side salad or hash browns and toast. All in all good time as usual. read more

I actually feel bamboozled by the 4 star rating for this restaurant. I don't often leave reviews, and try not to leave negative reviews, but I actually want others to not feel as scammed as I feel right now by the over-inflated star rating. Veggie Omelette: overcooked with a bad smell. I usually finish my meal even if I don't love the taste, but I almost never feel grossed out by food. It smells as if the grill hasn't been cleaned properly in weeks. Fries: the redeeming part of the meal, but still not great. I got hits of bad tasting oil...like rancid or overused oil? Kids chicken strips: they're not even strips of chicken. They are frozen pulverized chicken patties. Chick-fil-A and Raisin' Canes have better quality chicken. The best part: the people who work here are nice. This is honestly lower quality food than a fast-food restaurant. Hopefully others can avoid the trap. read more

Sadly, I agree with the recent review that Deemer's is going downhill. We regularly ordered from here as prices were reasonable compared to other options.

Nice burger and shake place. Homemade shakes like the strawberry are amazing with a slight strawberry swirl to it. The burgers aren't as good as the chicken sandwiches. The grilled Cajun Chicken sandwich is good but not amazing. I think next time I'll try a fried chicken sandwich. Plenty of outdoor seating read more

Hickory BBQ burger is Nice, but not enough to bring me back. I did enjoy their garlic and parsley fries so delicious! Specially when you ask them to reduce cooking time by 30 secs less. I highly recommend that! Patio is lovely and quaint but it's small to hold a weekend crowd. For what they are prized at I'd expected more. Not a bad place just the burgers are not great. It was super busy on Saturday noon and they were having problems with orders. Our order came close to 30 minutes of waiting if not longer. They missed a few items in our order so that took time and our burgers were on the room temp by the time they fixed the problem. read more

Best huevos rancheros I have EVER had!! I make this dish at home but sometimes don't feel like cooking. It was spicy and saucy, the hidden tortilla was crunchy af, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! There was a side of hash browns perfectly crispy, as well as a side of whole wheat toast that was totally unnecessary. (I ate it anyway because the rest of the meal was sheer perfection.) Good service, clean restaurant, good value. I will definitely be back! read more

Staff: Very friendly on the phone and at pick up of my to go order. They all wore masks and had plastic partitions which is good. Quality/Quantity: Juicy, flavorful, good size burgers. Had burgers and a chicken sandwich. Garlic fires were good but not great. The best garlic fries I've ever had are at Greek Bistro (see my review). Value: Decent prices in line with other restaurants. Overall: Used to come here years ago but it has been awhile. Will be back for sure. read more

This is going to be a very short and simple review: they have the best burgers in Orange County. They only use Angus meat and all their ingredients are super fresh. Throw in excellent customer service, and you have a superstar restaurant. I highly recommend it. read more

Met a client here for lunch....place is located in a strip mall so plenty of parking. Went in and was impressed by the menu for a burger place. Nice selection of different items. Place is well organized and clean...the service was decent....they didn't ask how we wanted out burgers prepared (rare, medium or well done)....burgers were ok....not great....lacked flavor really....we both ordered garlic fries which were warm but not hot...also lacked flavor. I walked away thinking I would probably not be back. Place looks impressive but the food didn't match. Not bad but certainly not good. Bill for two was just under $40 so it should have been better. I brought the food baskets and trash up to the counter and the guy said oh you can just leave it on the table and we'll end up getting to it. Hmmmm how about thanks for being that up here. I will post pics. read more

RE: Deemer's. Let's chat, shall we? I would like to know if anyone else has been disappointed, specifically with takeout/delivery. I realize they changed ownership in 2022 and we've ordered since then, but this is ridiculous... instead of ordering online tonight (through Deemer's website, GrubHub, Postmates/Uber, etc.) my husband actually went over there to give our order to a PERSON. My "gouda burger" didn't have ANY cheese on it. My husband's "pepper jack/egg" burger had cheddar on it. My son's burger, requesting raw onion, had grilled onions. I get that if this was a first-time offense, it might not be a big deal. But they've screwed up so many times lately that I've lost track. Yeah, we can quit ordering from/going here, and we will. But wondering if we are the only ones experiencing issues? Their burgers are so awesome but it's such a hassle each and every time. read more

Inedible. The review about going to McDonalds is spot on. I don't know how you could mess up pancakes, but they've found a way. Ordered a waffle as well, and they both tasted like wet sponges. My toddler wouldn't even eat hers. We had been waiting 20+ minutes for our food. A couple sat down next to us, and they received their food within 10 minutes while we still had to wait for ours. When our food came out --without a smile from staff--, it was incomplete. Had to ask for milk for my daughter even though it's advertised as part of the meal. Burgers look good but bad food plus bad service on my first visit, likely won't be coming back to try them. read more

Great local spot. Food is excellent. Well thought and well prepared. They brought our sandwiches right to the table quickly and freshly made. I had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The coleslaw on the sandwich is amazing. Even had crushed peanuts in it. The burger is also top notch. Big step up from fast food for not much more $$ Casual environment and comfortable enough. There is plenty of seating outside as well. read more

A nice casual place for handcrafted burgers and sandwiches (other options are available). They also have breakfast options and a good selection of sides.
