Fat Treats is new restaurant that has been open around three months. The are on the second floor in the marketplace. This was my first time here. I ordered the Ultimate Burger combo (burger, fries, can of soda) for $16 with tax. The server was friendly. The burger was pretty good, with a solid patty and fresh toppings, avocado was a bit light. They only have cheddar cheese if that matters. The sauce is a thousand island ranch style. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a satisfying and hit the spot. The fries were a different story. They were the thicker, fat-cut style, which is a nice change of pace. However, they lacked that crispy exterior I'm always looking for. They were a bit soft and not as firm as I would have liked, but still a decent side to the burger. Overall, it was a good meal that left me satisfied but not wowed. The burger is worth getting, but if you're like me and prefer crunchy fries, you might be a little disappointed. read more

Possibly the best burger in town, with no wait time. My husband and I love this little spot within Kaleidoscope-- very high quality classic burgers and served to you at a cute little bar seating situation. The burgers are juicy and perfectly cooked high quality beef, fresh soft buns and the toppings took it to the next level. They have amazing fries and ranch too. Such an easy decision to get Fat Treats! read more

As good as the reviews say! We wanted somewhere fun to eat and found Fat Treats. It's a really cute, little place. With my unique diet, the chef was very careful to make sure nothing was intermingled. It's a unique take on a smash burgers (my dearest and I both got the Rhino burger) and they did not disappoint. The flavor of the burger was so great! He even cooked the fries separately for me, and they were very good! Glad we found this cute place. It's reasonably priced, and the food is great! Highly recommend! read more

We chose to sit outside on the patio and got seated right as the sun was going down. They were nice enough to offer us blankets since it was getting chilly. We ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and the Chicken Basil Cream Pasta. To start, the pizza was truly phenomenal. There was plenty of chicken to compliment the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce along with the dough itself. We ordered a medium pizza and it was more than enough to feed two of us. The Chicken Basil Cream Pasta was also rich and full of flavor. The serving portion was large, and we were also given Parmesan to complement the dish. Overall, the dish was enjoyable. For being a last minute pick, Domenicos on the Lake exceeded our expectations and proved to be a standout Italian restaurant in Mission Viejo.

Ted's Place

Rock solid Some joints try to impress you with reclaimed…read morewood, Edison bulbs, and a menu that reads like a graduate thesis in farm-to-table sincerity. Ted's doesn't bother with any of that nonsense. Ted's just delivers the goods. I've been going there for years, long enough that the rhythm of the place feels like an old blues song you know by heart. I'm the guy who orders the Denver omelette with salsa on the side. Every single time. And every single time it comes out exactly the way it should: fluffy eggs, just the right hit of peppers and ham, the salsa bright and honest, like someone in the kitchen actually gives a damn. No drama. No surprises. Just competence, the rarest ingredient in the restaurant business. Now let's get one thing straight: I'm no pushover. I'm a hardened chowhound, the kind of guy who's eaten enough questionable meals in enough questionable places to know the difference between real food and the kind of grease-slicked heartbreak they sling at certain fast-food counters. You know the type, where the cook is juggling a cigarette, a spatula, and what appears to be a deep philosophical relationship with his own nostrils while your breakfast slowly becomes a medical event. Ted's is not that place. The chicken club, hold the Thousand Island, thank you very much, is a beautiful, no-nonsense stack of poultry and bread that understands its job. The carne asada burrito comes wrapped like a promise and delivers on it with gusto. And the steak sandwich? That one deserves a small standing ovation. They buy good steaks, real steaks, and cook them the way steaks were meant to be cooked: hot, fast, and with respect. In a world full of culinary pretenders and Instagram food that looks better than it tastes, Ted's is rock solid. The kind of place that doesn't need a story, because the food tells it for them.

I even had to ask for a new cup when I told them the soda machine wasn't working, as they just said sorry and walked away. I showed the person who walked by us the eggs and she said "oh, I'm not sure" and walked away from the table. When our plates were taken away, I told them we had a very poor experience. The person said "one moment", walked away, and we wanted 20 more minutes for someone else to show up, but nobody did.

Board & Brew always presents as a place I want to grab a sandwich and then never delivers on a…read moregreat sandwich. It's always just a little bit disappointing. This location is small with a tiny little outdoor patio, a small bar area, and a small number of indoor metal seats and wooden back booth seats. It is not unclean, but it is not particularly shiny clean either. It always feels a little grimy, and that is not helped by the fact that the tables are always a little bit sticky and sometimes have remnants from their previous guests. In terms of sandwiches and salads this is a pretty clean-eating facility. The produce is always fresh. I've tried a number of sandwiches at this location and they are always MEH. Especially at this location, you have to double check your order because they frequently just make the sandwich how they generally make the sandwich and don't take any modifications into consideration. As someone who is allergic to onions, no matter how many times I request no onions they will be on there! One of my family doesn't like the secret sauce and often orders a side of Italian dressing instead and inevitably it either comes as a barr sandwich or that secret sauce is still on there. And things like that. I'm not saying I don't come here and grab a sandwich, because when I'm in the area, short on time and need a quick bite, I will often stop by. I just have yet to have the specific sandwich that I asked for and the experience I am hoping for. Not bad, not good, just OK.

(5 / 5) Hands Down the Best Burger I've Had in Years!…read moreWhile passing through from San Diego, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Hole in the Wall Burger, and it completely blew me away. This family-owned spot is small, quaint, and exceptionally welcoming. You can instantly tell it's a local favorite--the staff was actually greeting regulars by name as they walked through the door! The food speaks for itself: The Spicy Burger: Phenomenal. Perfect kick and packed with flavor. The Classic Burger: Stupendous. A timeless, perfectly executed burger. The Hole in the Wall Burger: Mind-blowing! An absolute must-try signature item. If you are anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and get here as soon as possible.

We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Good place to go if you have Dietary Restrictions!!!…read more I am so upset I didn't take a picture of my food because it was sooooo good! I ordered the Chicken Jalapeño Melt, trying to ease my way out of my habit of always ordering a burger and I'm so glad I did! It was full of flavor, served hot, and every bite was delicious. I came here with my friends on a Saturday morning, and it wasn't too busy. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive. Someone at our table asked if they could lower the music because we were having a hard time hearing each other, and they happily turned it down for us. They checked on us throughout our meal, brought me my ranch (because ranch makes everything better ), gave us food recommendations, and even thanked us for coming when we left. Now that's great service! Everyone at the table loved their food, especially my friend who has dietary restrictions. It was nice to see that they have plenty of options to accommodate different diets.Overall, this was such a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back.
