I won't bore you with the details, but I have NEVER eaten anything here that wasn't perfect! Great atmosphere, pleasant and attentive staff, and magnificent food; this is possibly Costa Mesa's best restaurant. read more

First time. Ate breakfast. Sat outside. All tables are spaced out. The staff is all wearing masks and respect your space. I ordered a chamomile hot tea with honey and my friend ordered the mimosa. The food was amazing. I did need Chalula. My friend got the breakfast burrito, she too needed hot sauce. Either way the whole experience was great! I will definitely be returning. read more

The food was fantastic. I had the chorizo hash really good. Service can be better, I went in with a group of 4 people 3 waters where provided immediately the 4th one never came. When the waitress took our orders, she only took 3 out of 4. When the food came out, one of the orders was missing food. We had to ask for the rest of the food to go. Ambiance was really nice. read more

Short rib tostadas... bomb. One waitress(not the one that was attending us) dropped off the check before we got our dessert. Kinda rude but over all this place is always on point read more

An exceptional experience from start to finish! Our server Allison was not only attentive and friendly but also extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and she made sure we were always enjoying ourselves. The spicy chorizo hash was fantastic! I also ordered the espresso martini and it was the perfect pick me up after my meal. Everything at the table looked phenomenal and I can't wait to try more. read more

Our first time here. 430PM on a Tuesday. We were seated immediately with our choice of inside or outside. We chose inside. Very clean and uncluttered atmosphere. Our server Alex was very friendly and prompt. We ordered the Fig&Brie Panini and Media Noche (Cubano) sandwiches along with a sangria and pumpkin spice cold brew coffee. Everything was delivered promptly. The sandwiches were large portions and perfect flavors. The side mixed greens and vinaigrette were perfect. The prices were very reasonable. We will definitely return and recommend! read more

Eat here now Grilled salmon tacos were just excellent. A few outdoor tables, and seating indoors is limited, but I had no wait n a Thursday evening for a party of 1. Crowd was an eclectic mix of young, old, fancy dress, casual. Several tables speaking French, German, mandarin, southern.. Found only by yelp recommendation, and I am very pleased. read more

Food was on point and so was the service!!! Yuliana was just the sweetest, friendly, and thoughtful! She kept our drinks full, extra napkins for our baby, and took great care of us. Hubby and I got the pan seared salmon sandwich and the chow burger. Both were well prepared and flavorful. I'm not often impressed by burgers, but was definitely satisfied. Being pregnant I also had to get it well done, but the burger was still juicy and delicious, and I'm a medium to medium rare steak kinda girl. Sweet potato fries and truffle fries were also hitting, and their grapefruit brew was addictive says the husband since I couldn't try any but it smelled yum! My mango tea was also bomb! Would definitely recommend this place, all the staff had smiles on their faces and hustling during Friday lunch. We'll be back! read more

Food was really great. Got the crispy chicken sand which and breakfast burrito. Service was terrible. Ordered the truffle fries as an appetizer. They never came out. Mentioned it to our waitress after we had gotten our meal. She never apologized and brought them out with our check. She checked on us once and would walk away while we were still ordering. Service was also slow, food took about 45 minutes. read more

3.5-4 stars, ordered a basic breakfast burrito and wasn't impressed BUT they're lemon marscapone French toast I enjoyed a lot. I liked their sweets for breakfast but not the staple stuff. Not bad but not 5 stars read more

Breaded chicken salad was one of the best I've ever had. Great service as well. Great location and perfect for lunch

I just love this place. Their food is sooooo good! I especially love their bbq Chicken salad.

Oh my god, I've been a big fan of Eat Chow since they opened about 12 years ago. Great comfort food, even a better staff. Today I tried the Tuscan Salmon and it is off the hook! Huge fan of their breakfast! Tough times for small businesses, I was glad to be here supporting them, you should give them a try to! Loyal fan, Mark read more

Eat Chow - Tuscan Salmon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place has kept its prestige as a brunch place! Came in on a Sunday for brunch and checked in ahead of time through Yelp. Overall a great experience. Entrees are all priced fairly for brunch spots in SoCal ($10-$15). Staff provided great service to our party of 5. We will surely be coming back soon! Highly recommend if you're looking for a classic brunch spot in Costa Mesa. Just check in ahead of time on Yelp or else you'll be caught in the line. read more

I like the food and all the different locations... The staff is always pretty cool and I love the ambience

oy. so i wanted food to go. the hostess who appears to look 14 and extremely overwhelmed took my order. I ordered the amys omlette. according to the menu it said "choice of toast" they never gave me a choice. im waiting 25 min for my food and i pay with cash. the girl brings me the wrong change. uhh ok? the electronic cash register gave u the wrong amount. did u take a tip out or what? then the girl finally gives me my food... NO UTENSILS!! yes let me eat this with my hands. i ask her for utensils as it seems shes already overwhelmed like this is too much for her. it literally took her 20 minutes to get me utensils. oy. so the pad of butter they gave me was all melted and oily and my food had water all in the togo container. this was deffinitely a hot mess experience. next time i want a $15 overpriced brunch item ill go some place else!! read more

Excellent food, great service. I had the pulled pork eggs Benedict YUM. The drinks were fantastic too but not as good as my fav bar in Long Beach with bottomless. The service was great, the seating was a small area but they seat outside so that helps and it was a beautiful day to do so. read more

Great brunch restaurant that I will keep revisiting for sure~ Parking is available at the adjacent lot and street parking if you can find one. The restaurant isn't big so if you come little later than 10 a.m., you'd probably have to wait during the weekends. There are tables available outside, & yes!your four legged companions are welcome to sit with you outside. Service is great~ friendly & accommodating wait staff. My coffee was constantly topped off which was awesome. They can get better tasting coffee though~ their coffee was not the greatest tasting coffee, this is my only complaint. Food here for me is special. Everything I've tried so far were all delicious! Plates come out hot and everything always tastes fresh. Totally love their Mexican inspired dishes like the Spicy Chorizo Hash (not spicy at all, tasty potato hash with savory chorizo, cool avocado, with over easy eggs) which is just a satisfying brunch plate. I enjoyed their short rib tostadas too. But they also feature interesting Southern inspired menu items like the Fried Green Tomatoes (perfectly fried tart green tomatoes in crunchy corn meal crust drizzled with spicy sauce served with the brightly dressed fresh peppery arugula salad with truffle oil!!! So yummy!!) and bbq pulled pork benedict (the sweet & smokey bbq sauce smothered pulled pork meat on thick brioche toast with poached eggs served with the golden hot fried potatoes on the side with ketchup) is so filling & so good! So, if you're searching for a great brunch place in this area - search no more, come now to Eat Chow! read more

Service was great, food was only decent overall. The tater tots with cheese fondue had a very unique flavor. Definitely, was the best I've ever had. However, the broccoli cheddar soup was extremely salty; was hard to eat more than a few bites. The generic grilled cheese had a strange, pungent, and bitter flavor. The cheese was also barely melted. The brie, fig and goat cheese panini was pretty good. Although, it could have used more cheese, in addition to figs that didn't have an odd texture. The Caesar salad had an extreme anchovie flavor to it but I ended up getting used to it and enjoyed the mail. I think the quality control at this place might need to be better. There is no way that soup is supposed to be made with that much salt. I have a high salt tolerance, so I can only imagine what someone with a more normal palate would think. read more

Eat Chow - As if I needed another reason to love Eat Chow any more , best food in town and best service, even for the doggies! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Really excellent food and everyone is always nice. My kids all love the food too. Especially the spicey sausage pasta.

Stopped here for a lunch meeting and the wait was about 15 minutes for a table for two. Parking can be a little tricky to find on the street but I was able to find a one hour parking area a block away. My previous trip here I had had the three amigos enchiladas which was delicious but a little heavy when I added in the fries. This trip I ordered the ribeye Thai beef salad. I mean who can say no to ribeye??? The meat was super tender and had a nice light peanut sauce. The vegetables were fresh and had a sprinkling of cilantro and basil. I would have liked a little more of the herbs as they really made the dish stand out. The fried onions were ok but I could do without it as they were not particularly crispy. Service was pleasant despite how busy they were. Great place to eat! read more

Came here on a Saturday night looking for some grub with friends. We decided to put our names on the waitlist just to be safe, but when we got there, there wasn't a wait and we were seated pretty quickly. To my surprise, they were very accommodating when my friend asked if they had vegan options. Our waiter said that they've done vegan dishes in the past, but still went to check with the chef to confirm. He came back with 3-4 options for my friend, and they all sounded pretty good to me too! I ended up getting the cheesy tots and chow reuben sandwich, both of which were bomb. The cheesy tots were swimming in a 5 cheese fondue that tasted a little like a very creamy chowder. I was a little scared that it would be too salty with so much cheese and bacon, but it was a perfect balance. The corned beef in the sandwich was nice and tender and had a nice tangy spin when paired with the sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. My friends ended up getting a french dip sandwich, a vegan salad, and sweet potato fries, all of which looked good as well. What surprised me the most was the amount of fries...it came in a bucket that was just overflowing! Will be back to try their other menu items. *for those with parking anxiety like me: there is street parking and also a small parking lot in the back read more

This is an usual restaurant that is tied in with a children's store and another or two clothing store. So while we were waiting, we went shopping or looked around. Gives us something to do when we're waiting. The place is quite small. We had ordered the cheesy tots, which was really good. It wasn't overly cheesy to a point where you're done after one bite. My friend agreed and couldn't stop eating it. I wasn't feeling too well, so I just had a cesar salad with salmon. It was okay, nothing unusual. I just don't like that they include the head of the romaine in my salad. My friend had the half a chicken plate, which the waiter recommended. She loved it and it was a good portion. The latte was a perfect addition to my meal. I was satisfied. We both were. read more

Everything you order here will be delicious. Probably tried half the menu at this point. High quality good food and friendly service. 4/5 because it can be a little pricey compared to other local restaurants offering the same dishes. From a guy's perspective, you get a little less food but better quality. This is a great a little local spot. A bike ride away for peninsula residents. They offer a menu full of anything you're in the mood for. *eat chow likes to offer a side salad instead of a classic side of fries with your order. Trying to keep us all a little healthier!

This is such a great restaurant! Delicious food and amazing service. Seasonal specials are always a nice treat. Highly recommended!

Wow! Such great food !!! The homemade chorizo was amazing, wasn't too salty still held its favor and the potatoes that came with it were perfectly cooked tasted just the like chorizo. It had bacon as well and added short rib just cause and it was mouth watering ! The Chilaquiles were perfect, just enough salsa to cover the chips and the chips still had a good crunch to it ! The short ribs on top definitely made the dish, with the egg guacamole and sour cream. Left overs didn't stand a chance. Love the mimosa flight, although it's nothing like bottomless it's a good drink option to get to taste all the mimosas read more

This was our first time back since the renovation, loved the atmosphere even more than before Covid. My girlfriend & I had such nice brunch! The food was wonderful. My order is always tricky on account of my diet & your staff nailed it. Our waitress, Scarlett, was so sweet & fun! read more

For is overpriced and mediocre. Steak and eggs was ok. Steak was cooked right but the flavor was too smokey and could not really taste the meat, and we ordered is rare.... Refills took forever. Black beans on chilaquiles were bland. Potatoes were eh, could use some rosemary or garlic Server offered boxes and cleared the table but didn't show up with the bill until my husband walked out with the kids and didnt notice I was still sitting at the table. read more

What's Good: Chilaquiles was tasty, worth a try. Cheesy Tots are for sharing, good upfront but can't eat too much of it. Things To Try: Micheladas, Shrimp Tacos, Crispy Beef Tacos (not on menu), Burger Other Notes: service was a little slow read more

You can't go wrong with comfort eats and great flavor. I have only been here for breakfast but Eat Chow has delighted me every time! Especially if you like a Mexican flair to your breakfast, their menu has an entire section of items around a 'south of the border' theme. I have enjoyed the salmon benedict and their BBQ benedict. Can you tell I am an eggs bene fanatic? Both dishes were incredibly rich and flavorful. The hollandaise sauce was perfect and the BBQ benedict was covered in a rich gravy. One piece that also stood out to me was that the salmon benedict came on this delightful potato cake vs an English muffin. I don't know what it was about this potato cake, but it was perfect with the benedict. The place isn't large (and I think you can see the entire kitchen which is also tiny!) but they are big on flavor and friendliness. I highly suggest you give this place a try if you are in the area. read more
