Despite the name, I may join this religion! They have a beautiful menu with beautiful staff - and they accommodated to the fact that we were there to kill time, so they catered to us eating the same item - bringing us a separate plate. They had quickly produced food for a sit-down scenario. Only wish I hadn't bitten into an eggshell and wish that my Benedict was more runny! Still, it was a pleasure! read more

The service was amazing. We are very fond of everyone that works here. Cannot say enough nice things about the whole staff. Tried the Veggie Benedict and French Toast for brunch. The hubby had his usual Breakfast sandwich (not on the menu). Everything was delicious. read more

May look like your typical French toast combo, but EVERY bite took me back home to my moms homemade French toast, my server Marco was so hospitable and almost as sweet as the French toast! Ha! The bacon was just right, thick and crunchy! The place is your 90's dream cafe with bright colors and the most welcoming ambiance! read more

Food was excellent, the service was outstanding, lovely boothed diner with old school vibes. Would highly recommend

Finally, Chicken Fried Steak done correctly. Don't say Homemade and give me a Steak out of the Freezer. The Gravy still had a slight taste of Flower but other than that I was very good. I would put it up against anyone else's in the whole of O.C. Service was excellent and they were very attentive. Great place to stop before a Sunday ride. I'll definitely be back.

Ya no. don't get me wrong it's a cute retro restaurant but we went for breakfast and everything was mid and simple and not worth the price. I got the country fried steak and it was overcooked and chewy! The only reason why i ate it is bc i paid $22 for this plate read more

Always very friendly and food was awesome! Nice old school diner with some modern touches.

So happy to discover this hidden gem! The food is wonderful but the service is excellent! Madison is top notch and a real sweetheart! She always greets us with a smile and warm welcome. She makes everyone feel as if they're friends! Special shoutout to Emma (who looks like my little sister) and Ginger! Both are so genuinely kind and helpful, it makes the meal all the more better! Highly recommend for any meal of the day! Thank you! read more

Me and my daughter went for breakfast last Sunday while in town for a concert. Daughter got short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with bacon. The two pancakes we're huge! I had chicken fried steak and hash browns. Again it was a large portion with eggs and toast. Service was good and quick. The kind of place we love for breakfast. read more

MEREDITH!!!! She was a fantastic server! She got our order down right. She understood when I said, just a "splash" of OJ in my mimosa. Not only did she provide amazing service, but the food is GOOD. I had the 2 eggs with bacon and sausage plate. My Fianće got the Eastside omelette. It did not disappoint. Def go here. You won't regret it and you will leave very happy. read more

My boyfriend and I (both 24yrs old) went here and our waitress was so sweet and personable. The food was also fantastic. I got the chilaquiles with some hash browns on the side snd my boyfriend got an omelette with breakfast potatoes. He loved it. We both got orange juice and loved it too since it is fresh squeezed juice! This is the perfect spot for a comforting brunch/breakfast! We want to go back for dinner next time because their dinner options look great! We also got a couple of "dick church's" stickers (both $1 each) and they are super cute! read more

Had a good dinner there on weekday fairly empty. Food very good. Excellent service. Got exactly what we ordered. Fairly quiet. I imagine they do a good breakfast business. read more

In the old days, it was the place to go for breakfast now I would never go. The menu is limited the hideous orange seating you will go blind read more

The waitress staff here is the best!! I wish I could tell you the name of the awesome waitress but that's against the rules according to Yelp. Let's see, she is the cute waitress, the one that is always smiling and laughing. The one wearing the black shirt that says "EAT AT DICKS" LOL!! Great service and a great breakfast is what you get at this place. I have been eating here at Dicks since the 1980's and I think that the new owners has really done a good job fixing this place up and hitting a super awesome team to serve the locals. Thanks L for the great service, tell the cook my eggs Benedict was FIRE!! read more

Pricing is high. Great staff just overpriced Need more space inside too small inside read more

Recently found this place and it's become a weekly spot, I've only had the breakfast here so far. The service is great and they offer outside seating which is always nice. I absolutely love the diner and the food here it's always so fresh and good. read more

Great staff very thoughtful and kind. It's an easy-going. Great food Dog Friendly open patio great parking but back to the food. Great variety. It's always good. read more

If you're open until 2:30 you shouldn't turn people away at 2:27. Lazy and rude. We otherwise like this restaurant but this has reduced the odds I'll be back read more

The service was TERRIBLE. Food was amazing- made the service bearable. Here's a list of all the ways the service sucked 1. Waited 20 minutes for water as I'm watching the waitress just standing there. Literally started restocking creamer for no reason 2. never got my iced tea which she tried to charge us for 3. Asked for ranch - watched her pour me a new ranch but leave it at the bar and never bring it to me...... 4. Would disappear and held the bill for 10mins while she's doing nothing Bad waitress good food read more

Ummm what can I say? It's Dick's, it's a staple, it's delicious, it's part of history! lol well this is what happens when 3 girls got really hungry in the early morning. The name got us and the food did not disappoint! Old school diner with a twist of Dick's! lol read more

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Will definitely go back next time we're in town.

Great food, locals only. Reminds me of old Newport and Costa Mesa. Love small diners read more

This place is the best breakfast spot in OC and Costa Mesa! It's the cutest old school diner. They cook the food fresh to order and everything has great flavor and is cooked to perfection. Service is great as well. The have the Best Corned Beef hash around! It's homemade and super flavorful, they also cook their eggs perfectly! Must go for brunch! They have mimosas too! read more

My first time and was pleasantly seated by Ruby & Madison was our server. We both got the Patty Melt which was deliciously prepared. From the rye bread to the grilled onions it was perfect ! Thanks, will definitely be back. read more

This was my second time I've been here. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and onion rings. The corn beef on the sandwich was cut thick. It does work on this sandwich. The corn beef being cut thick makes it hard to eat this sandwich. It was disappointing in the taste and the meat on this sandwich. The onion rings were good. The restaurant has a bar inside and there are two patios one in the front and one in the back. read more

Great coffee!! And great food. Super friendly staff. The parking lot is large which was nice. Didn't expect this place to be as good as it was! When in the area I will definitely be back for breakfast read more

I came last weekend and was so impressed with the service, the fun atmosphere, and the huevos rancheros!! was greeted so kindly by the cute hostess, and our blond waitress treated me like royalty! will be going again and again! read more

Great food, and even better service, large selection and quantities, quick refills, good music.

Order to go here all the time. Same things a breakfast burrito and a plain side of eggs for my dog. This time there were a couple small pieces of green bell pepper in the eggs luckily I noticed before feeding them to him but I did call them just to let them know . The girl who answered put me on hold and I got to listen to her and the managers entire conversation where she mis relayed the info and told her that I said it made my dog sick. I said it could've made my dog sick and just wanted to let them know. I work in restaurants and know things happen. I never asked for a refund. I never asked for anything. I just wanted to give them a heads up had to listen to the manager and hostess talking shit in the background until I finally got disconnected and had to call back, totally unprofessional and ridiculous on all accounts barely an apology to be had. Also months ago, I stopped physically coming in here because the server Lindsey, who was a regular server for us, was so awful never paid any attention to us and also used a God awful amount of pet names that made me want to gouge my eyes out and made everyone at the table uncomfortable . Early disappointed in how this place is operating and handling things. No note to the owners everyone here needs some serious training in hospitality and professionalism. You can start with teaching them how to use a mute button when they put someone on hold. Burritos have gone down hill too, bacon and hash browns under cooked read more

My fiancé and I miss Dick Church's so so much! We used to come here in the mornings for breakfast and sit in the cozy, diner-style booths. The food is top-notch, diner, food, and my favorite thing about this place is the amazing staff. They are lively, fun, engaging, and always remember me when I come in. Because this place is so good, be aware that there may be a line on busy Saturday or Sunday mornings. Definitely worth the wait, though! I hope the staff is doing well, and we can't wait to see you all again very soon, while we eat our fave dish: two-egg breakfasts with pancakes! read more

This place has been here forever! Family vibes from the restaurant staff! Has that diner/small town vibe while being in Orange County. Friendly staff and the food is solid with good portion size. Pancakes and waffles are good, then the breakfast tacos, and their sandwiches or burgers too. Parking is good- depending on the day or time you may have to wait a little bit to get seated. read more

An aesthetic looking diner with a good classic American breakfast. The food was great but I did ask for a medium rare and it came out more well done instead but it was still delicious. The service was great and the vibes of the place is amazing. read more

This review should've been written a long time ago! My boyfriend lives on Newport blvd and we go to dick church's all the timeeee! We are usually a party of 2 and never have to wait. We love their patio, the booths inside, and also the bar when I'm dining solo. I love Dick Church's and dream about their biscuits and gravy more often than I'd like to admit! They also have a very good French dip with the au jus on the side for dipping. I also love their BLT with the sweet potato fries. Lindsey has been our server almost every time my boyfriend and I go and she always takes great care of us. Upbeat personality, friendly, knowledgeable and Just an overall nice person/ attentive server. When I go by myself and sit at the bar, Meredith and Crystal are always great servers and are attentive even when I'm dining alone. Coffee always refilled, cocktails always tasty and well balanced. Biscuits come out hot and ready and that gravy is unmatched. My boyfriend and I agree Dicks has the best biscuit and gravy and bloody Mary's in all of OC! Thanks ladies! read more

Cute breakfast/brunch place with outdoor seating so it's pet friendly! Food: Corned beef hash + 2 eggs ($16): real chunky pieces of corned beef with sautéed peppers and onions. No potatoes though. Different Approach to your traditional corned beef hash but so pretty good. Classic BLTA: bacon lettuce tomato avocado on sourdough toast. Can't go wrong with this. Iced coffee ($3.50): bottomless and pretty decent! Bottle of champagne ($25) with fresh squeezed Orange juice. Service was friendly. Quite busy so they didn't refill coffee often. read more

We went to Dick Church's on a busy Saturday morning, had a short wait, and, as soon as we were seated, received exceptional service. Our server (Kimberly) was friendly, courteous, and very attentive. The food was delicious, too! We were headed out for a long ride after breakfast and wanted something to fill us up. The portion size of both the biscuits and gravy and a DIY omelette hit the spot. Noting how many customers were seated and how busy the staff was, we were very impressed how well and how smooth they handled a large crowd. High five and a big thumbs up to Dick Church's restaurant! Thank you. We had been wanting to eat there for a while and were not disappointed. We'll be back! read more
