    *Pulled Pork Sandwich (with fries)
    Marisa Q.

    Georgia's Restaurant *June 13th, 2026 *12pm- Saturday *3 Stars Environment: *Large Sized Parking Lot *Outdoor & Indoor Seating *Inside Irvine Spectrum *Friendly and Excellent Service Food/Drink: *Peach Salad (Seasonal) *Pulled Pork Sandwich (with fries) *Cornbread (Complementary) Stopped by here for lunch with my sister while shopping at the Irvine Spectrum. The restaurant was easy to find, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the seasonal peach salad and the pulled pork sandwich with fries. The food itself was a little underwhelming, as most of the dishes were fairly bland and didn't have as much flavor as I was expecting. The complimentary cornbread was a nice touch, though. The highlight of the visit was definitely the service. The staff was friendly and attentive, constantly checking in on us without being overly intrusive. Overall, the service was the best part of the experience. While I enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality, I'm not sure I would come back specifically for the food.

    They changed their model! It's now a sit-down restaurant - check in with the host (or I assume that you continue to the register if you order to-go). What I do like is that you don't have to wait in a line for others to order. I felt that the food came out faster today too. Megan is fantastic and was super kind, helpful, and patient with us!!

    Nice soul food restaurant with lots of options and great flavor. Everything we ordered was delicious and packed with flavor. You order at the counter and they bring out the food to your table. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff are very friendly. The portions are on the smaller side but still satisfying enough.

    Service was amazing they were super sweet. The food was good - the Mac and cheese stood out though I will say the coleslaw was bitter as if the red cabbage had been sitting for too long the batter for the chicken was perfectly crispy though very seasoned and slightly salty. Cornbread was good but definitely needs the honey and butter as it is very dry. Overall still a great experience and a very cute spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Absolutely delicious! The food reminded me of my grandma's Southern cooking and that's the highest compliment I can give. It's the first time I've ever had restaurant food that tasted this authentic and homemade. I've already been here several times and this review is long overdue. Very happy this is in Irvine!

    Flat iron steak with collard greens and coleslaw
    Mikaela I.

    Ate at Georgia's on a Sunday for a late lunch. It wasn't too crowded so we were easily able to get a table. You order at the counter, and they'll bring your found out to you. I was debating between the flat iron steak and tri tip, but the staff at the counter let me know they were actually out of tri tip that day. The flat iron steak was good, and the chimichurri was great! I asked for medium rare, but just a couple slices were a bit too rare. The collard greens and coleslaw were both delicious. My collard greens portion seemed to have a bigger pork ratio than I'm used too, but my friend ordered collard greens too and his definitely had more greens. It's a nice casual spot we just found by chance, and I'm glad we decided to try it.

    Complimentary corn bread!!! It was delicious. Next time I will order myself a dozen.

    Tez was such a pleasure to have taken our order and explained the dishes in detail as we were first-timers at Georgia's. There is nothing like great customer service with a smile and a genuine spirit. The ambiance was fun because they played great music in the background.

    Finally gave Georgia's a try! We've always passed by the restaurant going to Spectrum and we decided to go for it. We got the gumbo, shrimp + grits, and the shrimp + fries. The gumbo was the best out of the 3. It was flavorful and after I finished, I wanted to dip the fries in there. The cup is a bit smaller than I thought. The shrimp + grits was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as the gumbo. The fries were standard fries, but it was goood along with their ranch. Service is a little slow with bringing food out, but someone did check up on us once. I did have to ask for water though! I will def return for the gumbo!

    Blackened Chicken Pasta
    Dee T.

    Our friend recommended Georgias to us last week. We went during our lunch and ordered blacken chicken pasta and fried chicken platter with two sides ( Cajun rice and fries). They were low on staff but we didn't mind and she was super nice. There is plenty of seating inside and out. Honestly, the food is really good. I would come here again and recommend. The fried chicken is different. It's light crispy and airy. The Cajun rice was good too. The blackened chicken pasta was creamy and good but could've used a little extra love.

    Jambalaya
    Cheyenne G.

    Was craving soul food and really wanted some of that Georgias chicken!! I'm upset because this recipe was not the same as the one located in Anaheim. The one at Anaheim had some CRUNCHY, crispy chicken. So I was disappointed that this chicken was more greasy. I did love the Mac, the Cajun rice did not taste Cajun, and my daughter said her waffle tasted stale, and my bf enjoyed his jambalaya. I was way more satisfied with the location and the service! Our drink girl was so beautiful and sweet, really made the experience perfect!

    Good food and fast service. This is an order at the counter type of place which is nice when you're kind of in a hurry. I think they also have a brunch on the weekends with some selected brunch items. Nevertheless, I went with the fried Chicken. We went with the fried pickles to start and the lady had the shrimp Po. Boy. They do all you can drink sodas and the service was pretty good. As I said, it's a quick version of Southern Staples so it's worthy of a shot. Give it a try

    A great place for soul food located in the center of Irvine Spectrum. The closest parking to this location is either in the south side of the structure that is closest to the movie theater or the parking lot directly outside of the restaurants. Both require a brief walk to the restaurant. The parking can be very crowded at times and there are alternative parking lots and structures that are a little farther away. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available at this location. You order your food at the register and are given a number to bring to your table. They have a pretty large variety of dishes on their menu. The staff were very friendly and the service overall was excellent. The meal came with complimentary cornbread and honey butter. The cornbread was warm with a slight crisp on the outside but was soft in the middle. We were sharing a blackened chicken pasta and the restaurant offered to split the dish for us for free. The pasta was cooked al dente and had a delicious savory and creamy sauce. The chicken was tender and had good flavor as well. The beignets were very crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside and the chocolate sauce that it came with was a great addition. There are so many great options on the menu and I can't wait to go back and try more of them.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Simon K.

    Unfortunately everything had a lack of seasoning. The coating on the chicken looked great but had no flavor. The smothered pork chops had a gravy that was very watery and flavorless. The chef needs to embrace salt.

    OMG!!!! I don't…read morereally leave reviews on yelp, (I just use it to find food options) but I have to say something about this place. There was a deal on door dash so I thought I should take advantage of it and I decided to order from this place. Had never heard of it before but I was in the mood for soul food. I looked at the menu and didn't really know what to try, so I just went with old reliable; Fried chicken plate with Mac and Yams. I tried to order another side but each side was $10. So I was like "I'm not paying $10 for one side!" But MAN I should have! My food was INCREDIBLE. I took one bite of the Mac and cheese and it was so good, I set my timer for 4:30am just so I can wake up early and workout. Anything that good, has to immediately be shortening your lifespan. My goodness it was great. The yams were super flavorful and the chicken was juicy and crunchy. And they left me a lil piece of cornbread and even that was delicious. Just all around great experience. Definitely going to see if they can make food for my job Also, I would have added a pic, but someone destroyed my food

    Soul food done right a new favorite! We made a trip…read morespecifically to try this spot, and it was a total winner from start to finish. It's clear why they've been a local staple for 11 years this is the original location, and you can really taste the legacy in every dish. We learned that the menu features the favorite recipes of the owner's husband (you'll see his photo on the wall!), and there's a real sense of heart put into the cooking. Everything we ordered was served piping hot and clearly made-to-order. The Menu Highlights: Starters: The fried pickles are a must-order huge, crispy, and battered to perfection. The cornbread muffins with honey butter are a great comfort touch. Mains: My husband went for the smothered pork chop meal with black-eyed peas, which were deeply flavorful and 'soulful' in the best way. My son loved the generous portion of chicken tenders, and my hot wings were a standout the mild sauce is honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. The Surprise Star: I'm still thinking about the garlic fries. They were unapologetically, perfectly garlicky. The Experience: Beyond the food, the service here is top-tier. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, from the person who took our order to our server, who shared the history of the restaurant with us. The space is surprisingly roomy with both comfortable indoor and outdoor options. We'll definitely be back!

I'm someone that loves eating alone and a Sunday By Myself brunch hit the spot. I ordered a Bellini and the deviled eggs to start. My waitress carded me. That was fun. I thought that at 53 years those days were over. Anyway, kudos to her for doing her job well. The eggs were sitting on top of pickle slices. That was a nice touch. I love how full they were with mixture and the crispy bacon and onions all made the combo a hit. Perfect with the Bellini! Then I moved on to the Greek yogurt. It was pre sweetened with maybe vanilla. I guess I liked that. Normally the yogurt at these restaurants is unsweetened and that can be a shock with each bite. It came with lots of bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Also hazelnuts and granola. The they threw in a blueberry muffin. Wow! That was a lot of food. I washed that down with a latte. I gave the restaurant only 4 stars because I asked for the scrambled egg with no salt. The waitress called it pup eggs which is not advertised on the menu. No dog food was advertised. I saw the side of an egg for $2.50 so I decided to give it a try. The thing I didn't like is that on the bill it was $5.00. I don't like things like that. Just charge for the food and don't up charge because you've given it a cute name. Just wasn't necessary. Otherwise, everything really good and I'd definitely go back. I'll just order the single scrambled and not mention it's for my dog.

The crab cakes are always a win, and the fried chicken with collard greens never disappoints. One thing that always amuses me: the bar is packed at brunch with people already several drinks deep at 10 a.m. I love that for them. Vacation-mode activated. The only downside is the waitstaff. Very LA-snob energy. You get the feeling you're inconveniencing them simply by showing up, which takes away from an otherwise great experience. So I don't go often. But when I'm craving soul food, it's one of the few places I'll happily return to.
