I usually get the Eggs Benedict as does my wife except she substitutes sausage instead of ham. They have great hashbrowns and what they call "oh those potatoes" which is a green pepper and onion and potato concoction which is also popular. My kids typically get French toast or pancakes and gobble it all down. I feel like the same servers and Cooks have been there since I started going eight years ago. The ambience is what you'd expect with a lot of old pictures on the walls. The last time we went was Monday and it was so busy I couldn't believe it. There was actually about a 40 minute wait to sit down for a party at four. Parties of two were able to sit down a little quicker because they have lots of two tops. I've only ordered breakfast, although they have plenty of sandwiches and salads. I saw a stack of onion rings piled high that looked pretty tasty. The menu has a wide variety that will satisfy just about anybody.

I brought my little son to get a burrito and their curly fries. As usual, we enjoyed our food. But as we were eating, an elderly lady came walking in and unfortunately fell near the cash register. When I walked over with my son to see if any assistance was needed, I saw that the employees were already helping her. The lady had fallen and struck her head. One employee was sitting on the ground holding the lady the way a daughter would hold her own mother. The other employees were checking on the lady and making sure emergency responders were on their way. The kindness with which these people responded was something I am glad my son was able to witness. Yes, the food here is great. The people are even better.

The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms. We ordered: Cowboy Burger with curly fries and a small drink + Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger with regular fries and a small drink. Total came out to about $37. Not bad. The only thing we would have changed was getting regular fries. They weren't great so we wish we had upgraded to one of their other types of fries. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I'm not sure which was worse. The sour corned beef hash and the green roast beef in the french dip,…read moreor the disgusting behavior by the management. The corned beef was rancid and inedible. A normal response by any manager with a shred of common sense would be to apologize profusely and remove the charge from the bill. The waitress, upon consulting with "America" the manager, came back and offered 15% off that dish. Obviously we told her that was unacceptable and she disappeared and came back with an offer of 20%. I've never experienced anything like this. I mean the food was stale and she's going to negotiate the amount she's going to take off and still stick us with 80% of the price of the entree? Unreal. But wait, it gets worse. I was having trouble believing what a tiny amount of dry, tasteless roast beef was in my sandwich so I open it up and it's literally tinged with the green, shiny texture you see with rotten meat. I point it out as we begin to get in a heated argument as I can't believe what's transpiring and she literally says "Why did you eat part of it when you knew it was bad?" I wasn't aware that Woody's policy was be sure to open your sandwich prior to consuming to make sure it isn't green and rotten. Perhaps they should print that on the menu? Check for rotten meat prior to consuming. The argument continued as she produced an even worse, abusive attitude as she stormed off thinking somehow she had done right by the consumer after trying to make us pay 80% of the price when both entrees were inedible. You hear stories about how pathetic customer service has become in restaurants along with the deterioration of food quality and the doubling of prices over the last few years. The fact that the management of Woody's would put some abusive, clueless person in charge of managing this location tells you everything you need to know.

As soon as we walked in they were very attentive and seated us right away. Very chatty and personable. The place was a small hole in the wall with family pictures of them and the resturant everywhere. I think this place is definitely loved by locals for the service - because they are really nice. Seemed like it's family owned. The reason for the two stars is honestly because the food just is not good. We go out to brunch every Sunday after church and love tasting new places, and I'm sorry to say that this honestly was the worst one. It seemed like someone who doesn't normally cook made our omletes. They were overcooked and cold and the potatoes tasted like they were left overs from the day before. They weren't crispy and soft in the inside - they weren't cooked all the way through. Food is very bland. It just doesn't seem like they have a chief - it's just a family member in the back cooking. It's sad because it looks like a family owned business and I wish their food was good. But it just wasn't. As much as they are so nice and friendly, you're paying a resturant for a good meal and it their food wasn't good. Maybe if they invested in a good chief it would really change their business!

It's just because I don't know what it means to practice financial discernment when it comes to fresh bread. And welllllll, look at who's back at Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe again...... I used to come here way more often back when I had recurring appointments in the area, but these days I rarely ever find myself in South OC. Tonight, however, I had a last minute opportunity fall into my lap when I was invited off the wait list to attend a Yelp Elite event at Onyx Golf. Naturally, I had to make an "unnecessary" bakery detour before moseying my way over to the actual main event. Listen -- you have your priorities and I have mine. We listen and we don't (critically) judge! Upon arriving to my old stomping grounds, I immediately went for my usual: the hojicha Basque cheesecake. Some things don't need to be reinvented. It's still rich and creamy as ever, and it's basically the reason I still come back to this place. Since I don't get down here as often anymore, I figured I'd live life a little more frivolously and grab some items I haven't tried before, such as their prime beef curry, kurobuta miso sausage, honey toast, and a GF brownie. My plan for a sweet treat quickly evolved into a larger commitment of carbohydrates, but honestly, I'd like to think of these items as a gift from past me to future me. Brio Brio is also running a promo right now where you get a free cookie with purchase during certain hours. I just want to be fully transparent that I don't remember what those hours are or how long the promo is running, just that it's a weekday ordeal. I know, incredibly insufferable Yelp Elite reporting on my part. You'll simply just have to go in and ask them about it or look for the signage near the register, and then purchase that item you need to qualify for the deal to begin with. Consider my review a very detailed advertisement about a potentially complimentary cookie that idk how to explain the sourcing means for. Lmao, my bad, y'all. Either way, it was refreshing to visit again after all these years. If you're stopping by Brio Brio, you really need to get the hojicha Basque cheesecake. That's singlehandedly the menu item I'll keep coming back for, even when it means I'll be suffering in rush hour traffic on the drive back home.
