    Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
    John E.

    Always walked by Eat Real Cafe but never stepped in until now. Glad we did too. Before a movie around the corner our group stopped in for a quick bite to go. The Chicken Club Sandwich was amazing. On grilled sourdough the sandwich has a delicious breast of chicken with applewood bacon and cheddar. The combination was perfect. Not sure if they season the chicken but it was so good and juicy. The side of sweet potatoes chips was also very good. I'm not usually into sweet potato fries or chips but they were a good compliment. I had a bite of the chicken quesadillas which were really good too. Everything tasted very fresh. We planned on taking the food to go but while waiting we were enjoying the ambiance inside and stayed. The girl at the front counter was super nice and completed the order as requested. The rest of the menu looked good too so we will be back.

    Great experience! Came here to have an early dinner with a friend of mine. Wait my friend had the burger. I had a sandwich. We also ordered some chips and guac/ salsa. Our server was very nice. Very patient since it was our very first time. They use healthier ingredients. The food we ordered was very good and very tasty. The prices weren't bad either.

    Meat breakfast burrito

    Cute location, kind service, nice ambience. I love how they had a huge drink menu that was just as big as the food menu lots of fun options. I also really appreciated the amount of food sensitive options they had. I had a friend with me with a lot of very specific food allergies who struggles to eat out anywhere, and there were so many options for her! Not just one or two items! The care that goes into developing a large menu that considers so many allergies and food sensitivities and all the substitutions they offer, was an art in and of itself. Not to mention everything tasted great. I will for sure be back. My only small complaint was the water served didn't have ice in it and it was a hot day plus we sat outside and I am not a fan of luke warm water. On that note, I didn't bother to ask for ice and I'm sure they would have brought it.

    This was a really cute experience. Of course it didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. It also didn't hurt that parking was so insanely easy and FREE. ...which, of course Eat Real had nothing to do with - but in a way - they did. Can you see how delusional I am? In any case, there was a tiny wait - 15 minutes or so, but its nice, because they text you when they're ready to seat you. The food is so nice and fresh - and the staff are super friendly. I think this is the perfect spot if you want to grab a nice brunch and soak up the sun.

    The aesthetics of this cafe are so beautiful, I just wish the food was a little but more exciting. I got the OG breakfast. The plate it self seemed sort of empty, and the tomato was kind of random. The garlic hash browns were great though. I also got the cafe con leche: it's basically milk and coffee with a bit of sugar. No real brown sugar flavor there at all. The service itself was great though. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. I might just need to try something different on the menu, because everyone was great to us our first time here. There is street parking right out front as well.

    We were in downtown Santa Clarita on Main Street, and thought we would try this Eat Real café. First off, they have a really nice menu with quite a variety of drinks, including specialty juices, specialty coffees and teas, with or without caffeine, and a lot of superfood drinks. The lavender moon latte the best ever! Not too heavy on the lavender, the super food wasn't overpowering, and with oat milk it was absolutely creamy and delicious! We also had the power grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry, but it had kale jack cheese with red pepper pesto, and other than the dryness of the chicken the sandwich was pretty darn good. They have nice music playing in the background, the service is friendly, and we sat outside on their cute patio. All in all, it was pretty good! Not perfect, but a pretty good place to stop, especially if you love lavender because I'm telling you that drink I'm gonna think about for a long time!

    Iced Matcha with oat milk was delicious
    Shawnie P.

    My son is a regular here so I had to try them out while I was in the Santa Clarita, CA area this past weekend. The neighborhood is so cute and cozy. As you walk into the restaurant, you get this laid-back feeling that I loved, especially in the morning. The restaurant was clean and very well designed to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. I started with an iced Matcha with oat-milk & a butterscotch scone...delicious. I ordered the omelette, which was very good with a side of hashbrowns. Yum! The merry maple chai coffee is delicious here, get one! Good service. Their Motto: WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT EAT REAL CAFÉ OFFERS FOOD THAT WILL PROPEL THE HUMAN BODY WITHOUT EVER COMPROMISING TASTE. They are very transparent with their ingredients which is the main reason I chose to visit. We parked in the garage right behind the restaurant, which had plenty of parking. I highly recommend checking them out.

    Vegan Bowl
    Max W.

    INCREDIBLE intimate café/restaurant and a top tier choice for Vegans in the Newhall & greater SC area! Arrived on an evening to the glowing, warmly lit interior which is full of chic natural wood toned furniture. A wall of their very own in-house made wines issued beautifully choreographed and brings in a sense of both elegance and a homegrown environment. Comfortable seating and quiet ambience, it served as a fantastic date place. The waitress was an absolute delight - kind, courteous, smiling, attentive, and always present. My cold pressed "Pumped" juice was AMAZINGLY good, dwarfed only by the absolutely STELLAR "Maca Mushroom Mocha Latte" -- the cafés most "must get" drink in my humble opinion. The vegan nachos arrived as a chips plate for a party would - nestled in a large bowl and REPLETE with every topping a nacho lover loves (beans, pico, guac, cream cheese), the vegan cheese was to die for and so were the gluten free Siete chips (so awesome to see). My vegan wrap was warm and just so tasty. If you're an avocado fan, you would love it. My date's vegan bowl (pictured but keep in mind she removed some veges from it for taste preferences) was enough food for a family of 4. Needless to say, we knew from the get-go that we were leaving with 2 days worth of great leftovers! Cannot cannot cannot wait to go back!!!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Michelle A.

    Delicious breakfast sandwich! The sausage was so herby and the cappuccino was spot on. The service was good, it took a few minutes to get greeted, so we technically missed brunch, but they were happy to accommodate. There were plenty of tables inside and outside to sit at.

    Adorable downtown spot with a big city vibe. The area is well designed and gives off a calm peaceful vibe. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff had a very chill vibe to them. It's a slow paced spot so if you are looking to sit and actually enjoy being at a restaurant this is the place for you. As for what i ordered : Einspanner latte 7/10 cold foam was delicious but espresso could be a bit stronger Chicken cesar wrap 8/10 really good just wish it was served with some sort of spicy sauce

    protein recovery
    Jessica G.

    Great breakfast spot with a wide variety of food, juices, and smoothies. My favorite smoothie is the Protein Recovery, it's delicious with the perfect blend of banana and chocolate flavors! For juices, I highly recommend trying the Cleanse and Be Happy. My go-to breakfast order is the breakfast bowl with bacon instead of chicken sausage. The red pesto sauce on top is so good! It can get busy so I sometimes order online for pickup. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's a parking structure behind the cafe.

    Power griller sandwich
    Serli N.

    Came here for Saturday brunch on Mother's Day weekend and it was packed but we didn't wait too long considering it was a holiday weekend. We were seated inside and I immediately noticed how cute the inside aesthetic is! We ordered a few different things and the food came out pretty quickly. I got the strawberry smoothie and it was great, yummy without being overly sweet. The shrimp tacos were amazing and the power griller sandwich was delicious as well. I got my daughter the kids chicken plate subbing chicken for salmon and it was great (love that they use wild caught salmon). The service was great overall too. I love that they use organic and clean ingredients. I even noticed they use Redmond Real Salt which is a really high quality salt, and says a lot about how much they care about the quality of their ingredients. Prices are reasonable too. Fair warning it's a little loud inside but not too uncomfortable. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!

    arrived with lid off, burrito cold, everything but tofu on the side. Fell apart when I tried to reassemble

    Ordered via Door Dash. Order arrived with the lid off and my burrito was COLD! Restaurant put everything on the side :( I tried to reassemble but it all fell apart. Basically had a burrito bowl. Reported to door dash and they did nothing about it. What a waste of $$$. Never again

A special thank you to Danielle, our waitress, who was kind, courteous, and never rushed us. She even allowed us to linger a bit after hours to enjoy our final lemon drop, making the night feel unhurried and personal. Great food, great service, and an experience worth repeating. Highly recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

    Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!

We took a look and the pictures all looked delicious so we decided to give it a try. Best decision! We got to try the Tri tip which was my favorite, but also tried the half chicken (very juicy), & brisket. For side we got the mash potatoes and Mac and cheese which both had excellent flavor. We got a side of the grilled corn which wasn't our top from the other options but still good flavor. The waitress was also very helpful and answered all the questions my hubby had (he had asked quite a bit lol) They have seating inside and out but given the afternoon was fresh we opted to sit outside. The service didn't changed we were checked on often. Either way both options seemed pleasant. All in all, We were left in food coma after in the best way possible.

    This use to be out go-to place for special occasions but it has fallen to the "will not go back"…read morecategory. For starters, it is outrageously priced for what you get. I got sticker shock just looking at the menu. Over $20 for a regular wedge salad. The kicker though was the cleanliness of the place. First there was black mold growing in the drink menu. Then i looked at the brick floor ( we were sat outside) and i was disgusted (see photo). I understand that drinks and food get spilled but it doesn't take much to power wash the patio at night. My plate came out dirty with a chip on the dish-ware. The bbq bottles were sticky and congealed. Just think, if this the cleanliness of the dining room, imagine what the kitchen looks like. I have worked in the restaurant business before and this is just intolerable. Two stars for a good atmosphere (live music). But that's it. If you want great bbq, try Copper Hill BBQ. It's doesn't have the atmosphere of Smoke House but you get great BBQ and a clean environment.

The pickled jalapeño gives an acidic edge that rips right through the other flavors and contrasts and blends stupendously. That really is the magic, which finishes with a sweet creamy after note from the avocado and sauce. Truly a wonderful addition to my Breakfast Burrito Hall of Fame. You have been informed, and hopefully inspired enough to go try it on your own. If not, you're only selling your self short. Now Go!!!!
