    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.

    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.

    Veggie Scrambler, hash browns, sourdough bread

    I ordered take out on Uber eats and everything was as expected. Veggie scrammble no cheese, side of hash browns. Food was good and they remembered to pack utensils. No complaints!

    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.

    Mediterranean omelette with artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, and topped with feta cheese. Side of hash browns.

    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.

    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.

    Tuna Melt Sandwich
    Thomas T.

    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.

    Undercooked burger.
    Trisha A.

    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.

    Onion rings $5.99
    Kris B.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Veggie Omelette: overcooked and smells disgusting...tastes like it smells sadly
    Charlotte L.

    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.

    Yvette B.

    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. Today we received BURNT bacon and eggs that were ordered "over easy" way overcooked. Sadly this may be our last time ordering from Deemer's.

We decided to try Bistro K as we were in the area and the reviews, pictures and the menu looked good, plus we were in the mood for a good Italian meal. We were greeted at the door by Brittany, who sat us promptly and was actually our waiter. Brittany set the tone for the evening and carried it through to the end. Simply fabulous service and personality. She made us feel not just welcome, but a part of the family. But it wasn't just the service that was so special. We decided to start with a glass of wine. I ordered the Prisoner Red while my wife ordered the Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay. And then the first hint of the forthcoming special culinary experience came. Their Focaccia bread. This bread, with a little cheese on top was supreme. Light, flavorful and the perfect start. We remarked that we could just drink wine and eat focaccia all evening! Next we split a Ceasar salad to start. It was fresh, crisp, with shavings of parmasean and a spot on Ceasar dressing. Next came our main course. I chose the Alaskan Halibut off their specials menu, however, rather than piccata sauce, I chose Brittany's recommendation to have it Alla Checca, with fresh tomatoes and basil. My wife chose the Chicken Piccata, because piccata sauce is a true test of any Italian restaurant. The halibut was perfectly prepared and a generous filet. Maybe the best halibut dish I've ever eaten. The tomato's and basil gave a nice acidic complement to the fish and the juice from the tomato's made the fish tender, flakey and moist. Served with perfectly prepared green beans and potato's. The chicken piccata was simply excellent, with just the right amount of lemon and perfect consistency. The chicken was perfectly pounded out and cooked. Also served with green beans and potato's. At this point, we thought we'd reached the peak, when Brittany brought out a giant slice of coconut cake and two decaf cappuccinos. OMG. This coconut cake should be illegal. To say it was great is an understatement. Light, full of flavor and coconut shavings. Simply phenomenal. Tina, the pastry chef, has it nailed on this cake. If you like coconut, you must try it. A++! If we could give a 6 stars on Yelp, we would. We feel it is under rated at 4.3. We are already planning our next visit to Bistro K, and can hardly wait.
