    OREO Cookies N' Cream Shake
    Nick P.

    Cute little burger spot nestled in the corner by Macy's at Fashion Island. Their burgers are exceptional, and keeps you pretty full. Make sure to download their rewards app!!! They give you occasional complimentary sides or shakes on the app. We have tried their fries, the sweet potato fries were good. As for the shakes, we have tried almost all of their flavors. The oreo is the best. Definitely on the sweeter side, but the best milkshake texture we've ever had in a milkshake. It doesn't get stuck in the straw when you're drinking it and its so smooth and creamy. Definitely a must at Hopdoddy's!

    Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Johnathan H.

    For a burger place at a mall, I'm pleasantly surprised at the value and quality. The Brussels sprout leaves are officially the best form of Brussels sprouts I've had in a long time. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was also pretty good. The burgers are a bit on the smaller side, but the drinks are cheap so I filled up with 2 beers and a margarita to offset that.

    Arrived later in the evening on a Saturday, it wasn't very busy. Wait staff was super quick whenever we asked for additional sauces or napkins. Strawberry margarita was good and the shroom burger and fries were great!

    This was my first visit to this location, and unfortunately, it will be my last. While the ambiance is quite good and it seems like a nice place to hang out, with a seemingly impressive beer collection, the food quality was decidedly average and the service was nearly nonexistent. If you're looking for a spot to relax and enjoy a drink, it might suffice, but if your priority is a decent meal or attentive customer service, you'd be better off elsewhere

    Greek burger
    Andy P.

    This burger joint is one of my favorites! I was first introduced to their burgers in Austin, TX on Congress. That layout is genius by the way, for the long line to wrap around the bar... that's the way to do it. Also love their seating system where all the tables are reserved for paid customers. Anyway, glad there is a spot here that makes really good unique burgers. Think it's location based menus. I didn't see the Greek burger on this locations menu. Since it's easy to cater to the crowd in terms of burgers, I'll let you choose or build your fav. Love their fries too. Don't skip out on that. It's like peas not hanging out with carrots. Stop in for a good bite and brew. You'll enjoy it :)

    Classic hamburger with bacon and cheddar cheese and all the fixings

    this is my go to spot as soon as I land here in Orange County I drive to fashion Island and stop here for the amazing hamburger. Staff is always very friendly very kind of very helpful in regards to how things go and always make sure that you have more than enough stuff that you need. The food is phenomenal. The service is great love the fact that you get to order with someone who knows the menu. The ambience is phenomenal except for the people who don't make their kids behave but of course the control is not on the restaurant. It's on the parents it highly recommend coming here.

    A nice, hip, burger and fries joint. They have a bar and offer a few other food options but are mostly know for burgers and truffle style fries. I tried the Buffalo Bill burger. It was made from bison and had a powerful taste. Very delicious but messy (napkins please). My friend had the nacho fries and they were tasty but overwhelming with the seasoning. The service was friendly. Relaxed atmosphere.

    Classic Cheeseburger

    I stopped by the Fashion Island with some friends on a ride, we were craving burgers so we tried this spot! I tried the classic burger w/ cheese, my friends both tried the double bacon jam burger. Burgers were tasty! I tried the strawberry-basil lemonade and that was very refreshing. Thanks!

    Kale cesar salad, chicken tenders, regular fries, wagyu burger
    Charisse E.

    Service was awesome. Cashier lady was super nice and patient. Despite the line building up, she was great ! Should have gotten her name for a shootout:( Vibe was chill. Great crowd. From kids with plenty black/blonde/brown/red hair to older "kids" with plenty of gray hair it definitely is for everyone! Food was awesome! Fries was super fresh and evenly cooked all throughout. Kale cesar salad was lemon-y with a little bit of spice.. just a bit too shredded but it tasted very good! We got the wagyu burger which was super good eith truffle aioli, they weren't cheap on that truffle. Hubby even ate it even if he barely likes truffles. The chicken tenders were very well cooked. 5pcs. Lacked a bit of cripyness but it was tasty! We'll definitely go back !

    Baby kale salad

    Came to hopsoddy burger bar after a couple of years on a Friday night. The place was busy as usual. Took 10 minutes to put our order in and about 20 to get our food. Drink came out after 5 and nachos fries a bit later. One thing that we all noticed is that their burgers and sandwiches look much smaller than what we remember. I would say about 20% as it is very noticeable. My spicy chicken sandwich was great. It tasted amazing but didn't have much slaw in it. My wife didn't like her veggie burger. She said the texture was like sandpaper. I think overall we were disappointed by the amount of food we got. It was a convinient place for us as the outdoor is heated and we had our dog with us. Btw the pictures are close ups so the burgers look bigger than what they were.

    Nacho fries
    Amber S.

    I've been to the Hopdoddy in Tustin so when I came across this one, while walking around the mall it was very excited to jump in and have a nice tasty little drink and try something different on the menu. I love that they have open outside seating with open walls, so the breeze flows through into the bar area. On a hot day like today it was definitely a must to have a breeze. This bar is nice and wide. There's a lot of extra seating and the staff is attentive and they know what they're talking about when it comes to their food and drinks.

    I would give them 5 stars, but I was a little disappointed when I placed my order for El Bandito vegan burger and they told me the bun was no longer vegan. We also ordered the Classic Burger and the Roosevelt.... both fully enjoyed by my son and boyfriend. The regular fries are crispy and delicious. We did accidentally get an extra order of fries, which was very cool because they let us keep them. The restaurant is practical, casual, music is loud but not too loud. We like coming on Fridays.... but we may have to find another spot for when I (the vegan person) want a full blown vegan burger with bun and all!

    Fabulous solo lunch date before enjoying a gorgeous day at Fashion Island. Been meaning to try this place out for a while now and I'm so happy I stopped in! The line was pretty long but it moved quickly and I didn't wait around too much before getting my food. As someone who gets tired of sweet things easily but can't resist a treat, I was very pleased with the mini size offering of their milkshakes. I got the nutella pretzel and it was delicious! The perfect amount in a little cup. I got the classic burger with sweet potato fries as well and the aioli was incredible. The burger was on the smaller side which I didn't mind as it was all I could finish but you might be disappointed if you expected it to be typical burger proportions. Love their patio seating. Will gladly be back!

I made reservations for our party and this was my friends first time dining at Lawry's sister restaurant. Founded in 1965. I haven't been here recently, but it hasn't changed a bit and is still a cozy and comfortable place to dine. We started off with a bottle of cabernet, complimentary bread, and two of their Pride of the Crowns salads. Since it was my friend's birthday I steered him into ordering the 16 oz Henry VIII Cut, cream corn, Cremini Mushrooms, Yorkshire pudding and spinach. I went with the same meal, and the prime rib was one of the best I've had in a long time. Tender and tasted great even when I pan fried my leftover prime rib.

Overall my husband's birthday dinner was fun because of our friends, but unfortunately we will not be going back to 5 crowns. It did not feel worth it at all. The food was only OK, our entrées came out luke warm, including the disappointing sides. The mash potatoes were flavorless, and the cream spinach was lack luster. The mac and cheese was piping hot, and delicious. I will also give credit to the server's assistant who helped him. He was more present than the server, but honestly that was a pretty low bar to begin with.

We…read morereceived a very warm welcome from Andrea, who was courteous, professional, and accommodating when we requested a different table. The staff who assisted with seating and bringing silverware were also friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our dining experience declined once our order was taken. We ordered the Beets Salad as our starter, followed by the Chicken Piccata and Salmon as our entrées. The salad arrived within about five minutes, but we then waited nearly 40 minutes for our main courses without any acknowledgment or update. When I asked our waitress about the delay, her only response was, "Your order was fired 15 minutes ago." When I asked why it had taken so long, she simply repeated the same statement. At no point did she offer a sincere apology or show any empathy for the extended wait. As someone who has owned and managed businesses, I know that delays can happen. However, a simple apology and proactive communication can make all the difference in how guests perceive the experience. The food itself was excellent, and both entrées were well prepared. Unfortunately, the service continued to disappoint. After we finished our meals, our waitress immediately cleared our plates and brought the check without asking whether we would like dessert, coffee, or anything else to finish our evening. That was surprising and made us feel rushed. I rarely leave negative reviews because I understand that every business can have an off night. In this case, however, the issue was not the kitchen delay--it was the lack of communication, empathy, and basic hospitality. Had our waitress simply apologized, kept us informed, or involved a manager, this review likely would not have been necessary. I hope management views this as constructive feedback. Andrea and several other staff members represented the restaurant exceptionally well, but I believe additional customer service training would help ensure that situations like this are handled with greater professionalism and care in the future.

Unfortunately, my recent visit was such a disappointment. Let's start with food. We ordered wings, chips and whipped feta. The wings had clearly been refrigerated and thrown on the grill for a hot second. The fat on them were soft and gelatinous and when I bit into it, the center was hard and super cold. It also smelled like a fridge. We sent them back and asked for a fresh batch but they had just taken the same ones and warmed them up. Very possible they were microwaved. I knew they were the ones I sent back because the wing I had taken a bite out of and spit out was right back on the plate. Then let's get into the chips. They were stale. They advertised them as home made and I don't doubt that but it's like they made them 3 days ago and left them out. They were cold and barely crispy. We sent these back as well and we got a slightly better batch but I wasn't going to argue this with the staff. The saving grace was the whipped feta. This was actually good. Nothing wow but it was edible since the other two items were such a huge let down. Now service. The lady that served us was very very sweet. However, not a great server. She disappeared and we needed to flag down another server for a refill. She was also not the one that we could talk to about our disappointing food. Another server had to come check on us. I don't think I could convince my husband to come back here, let alone spend money on this. It's unfortunate since I was hoping to share a slice of my former Newport stomping grounds with him.
