Not been back since i was a young anteater. Best sandwiches if u didnt have a car back before…read moreUniCenter had any other places to eat besides Lees (now chickfila), INO, TacoBell, and Jack in the Crack. its weird how empty it is now, but given all the food places that sprung up around, kinda sad. Still low priced as ever. its like $2-4 more expensive now but damm for a decade thats such low climb. $8 for a damm delicious ooey gooey sandwich? hell fucking yes? '26 oops i never posted it. Swiss connection is now a whopping $10.5. highway robbery it is. But the bread is still unmatched for pillowy cheweyness (hot will get u a crisped exterior so always go for hot). Carrot n Daikons baguette would be my second for bread but their bread is thin flakey fall apart outside with a more airy pillowy interior. most important. do not say no to the mustard and whatever the other thing they ask if is ok to put in. the LeDIP experience is a whole deal ok. it's all or nothing. just like it should be in normal restaurants ok, like the shirt shoes and pants requirement? all or nothing. if you went to a restaurant without pants, you would not experience the experience as it was intended. take it all or leave empty handed ok? unless you're actually allergic to something. but like are u living if you miss out on the perfect combo of savory and cutting sourness? i acquired an allergy to shrimp and once a year i'll still boiling crab a lb of shrimp and just premedicate on Benadryl hoping i don't die. oh it's so good. god it itches so bad. ah so succulent. whole experience! hot french connection- can i eat this first please? oh my god i don't think i ever appreciated the soft pillowy softness of the baguette in my younger years. the outside crust is the thinnest crisp and yields immediately (unlike Lee's Trashwiches where the stale crust cuts the roof of your mouth). Simple sandwich but sometimes the best things are the simple things. Cold Swiss Connection - the only reason i get it cold is cuz this is my breakfast & lunch for the next day. so no point in melting it prematurely. i honestly can't decide between the two, so i just get both. the difference is Swiss cheese here vs the brie in the french. update-its like 10.5 now cry. and get it hot! i was wrong! it ooooozes Parking - shared with the whole center, plenty. Payment - cash, credit chip 5, or venmo? No Pay unfortunately. Credit chip wouldnt read my card either, took 3 tries, and u need to manually hold it down cuz its not secured so....not really contactless. '26 theyve modernized, apple pay now accepted so yayy. Menu is modernized printed board albeit boring. Chalk menu was wayyy cooler imo.

Food: This was one of my favorite spots to go to for lunch or to cater from during college!…read moreMendocino's sandwiches are amazing, especially their Not So Fried Chicken, Vegan Banh Mi, and Happy Hippie! I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

8/05/26 5:18 p.m. University Town Center…read more I decided to try the Peruvian Steak today without avocado. I usually order the Not So Fried Chicken, but I wanted to switch things up. I'd rate the Peruvian Steak an 8.5/10. The bread was perfectly toasted, the mustard added just the right amount of kick, and all of the flavors complemented each other well. It would have been a perfect 10/10 if one side of the bottom bun hadn't been completely soggy from the mustard spilling out of the sandwich. I ordered my sandwich to go, so if I had waited until I got home to eat it, I think the entire bottom of the sandwich would have been soggy. That was disappointing. For to-go orders, I think Mendocino Farms should automatically serve the mustard in a separate sauce container to help prevent this issue. My other qualm was with the pickup process. When I received the text that my order was ready, it read: "Your order at Mendocino Farms - 10 - UC Irvine is ready for pickup. Please proceed to the counter." Some restaurants have signs explaining whether customers should grab their to-go orders themselves or wait for a team member to assist them. I waited patiently at the counter for several minutes while a team member saw me standing there but didn't acknowledge me. After about five minutes, I finally asked, "Can I grab my order?" The process felt confusing and could have been communicated more clearly. Overall, I thought the sandwich was delicious and a great portion size. However, I think the to-go process could use some improvement. I ended up eating my sandwich in the restaurant because I could already see the bread becoming soggy when I picked it up, which wasn't part of my original plan.

I have lived from San Diego to Los Angeles, and I have never had a pastrami on rye sandwich like…read morethis one! The pastrami was pure perfection, the greens fresh and crispy, the pickles big and chunky, and the rye was fresher than fresh. There was just enough moisture that the sandwich was easy to eat without falling apart. The fries were cooked to perfection. There is an assortment of sauces, but I opted for no sauce today. This was also my first Boylan Root Beer, and WOW--it took me right back to childhood and root beer floats. If you're old enough, then you KNOW what real root beer tastes like! I came for lunch the first time, and the place was packed, with seating filling up fast. This time I came for an early dinner: no line, no rush, and lots of places to sit! They close at 6 PM, so if you want an early dinner without the rush, make sure you come to Mario's Butcher Shop!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

I've been a patron of The Sandwich Spot ever since their first location in San Francisco over 10…read moreyears ago. When they finally opened up a location in OC I was ecstatic. I've been going to the specific location ever since they opened :) Always has the most incredible Dutch crunch bread. Nobody else in the area does it right like these guys do. Fresh, High-quality ingredients, and a bunch of delicious and various sauce options. I get what I like to call "The California Club" - Which is a grilled chicken sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll with pepper jack, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and whatever sauce I'm feeling that day. Staff is always super chill and the restaurant is nice because the lighting isn't too bright. This is often my choice for having lunch delivered to my work, or just to grab and head down to the beach. 12/10 Can't recommend this place enough, will always return!

I wish I lived closer I'd come try a new sandwich every week.

It is a rare gem, when you feel both at home, and the food is amazing. Sometimes it's a trade off, however, at 17th Street Deli you get the best of both worlds. Go, visit, eat, and just like me, even on your first visit, you'll feel made welcome, a part of the family, and really just enjoy every minute. The people, the food, the place. I would give 10 stars if I could.

The inside is small, not too much seating so pickup orders are probably the better deal here. We decided to eat inside since we were heading to go shopping right after. It was a bit warm inside so that's why I suggest picking up your order. Service was great, and the time to wait for the order wasn't too long. I ordered the turkey bacon cold sandwich and requested that on grilled sourdough. Guys...amazing! This sandwich tasted so fresh and the flavors all paired so well. It was a decent size too, I literally had to smash it down a bit to get a bite in. Definitely coming back here to try some of their other sandwiches and most likely the breakfast burrito.

This location is across from Triangle Square in the same plaza as Grocery Outlet and Crossroads…read more I've never had a bad Ike's sandwich or experienced a location with bad service. They have a touch screen here and an in-person register. We were a group of 3 so we took a while on the touch screen and people showed up after us and the employees took care of them right away. I usually get the menage a trois which is SO GOOD and yesterday was the first time I tried something different, the Adam RIchaman. I don't know what it is, but the flavor is soo good. I"m sure they could make a sandwich with like liver and it would still taste better than any other fast-food chain sandwich. There's plenty of parking at this location and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The only thing I didn't notice was a restroom, but other than that, it's a solid location.

A solid breakfast burrito and I see why it makes so many Top OC lists. Without a doubt it is a top tier option. Great tasting. I ordered the bacon and left fully satisfied. I laughed reading the comments about the grease. Inside the tortilla are freshly cooked eggs, cheese, tater tots and a protein option what do you expect? If you want to eat clean stick to Avocado toast and fresh fruit. Parking is inside a large garage. The levers were raised this morning but I believe they validate parking. Service was slow because the cashier was inputting a large ordering and I bet they had several online orders as well (its near a plethora of businesses) I will go back to The Trough UNLESS the Cut starts serving their breakfast burritos all days of the week. If they go that route, I will drive the extra 6 minutes off the 405 and go there instead.

It does not go well with the sandwich. There's only 1 person working so she was busy making the drinks/food by herself. I guess I'll stick to the Buena Park location.

I came across the Terrace, located near the university, which featured a lovely patio and scenic views overlooking the golf course. When we arrived around two in the afternoon, the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior was stylish, but I preferred sitting outside to enjoy the view. A large group of golfers was having lunch nearby. Since it wasn't crowded, our server easily arranged a table for seven. One downside was a man who continued to smoke on the patio despite being told it wasn't allowed, though fortunately, he didn't smoke the entire time. My man and I shared a Mexican Mango Mule, which was especially refreshing after the lengthy ceremony. We sampled several dishes--calamari, chicken wings and fries, beef tacos, and chicken tacos--in order of preference, from most favorite to least (though none were bad, just varying in appeal). The kids enjoyed a bowl of Bolognese and seemed satisfied. To top it off, the staff surprised me with a complimentary brownie and ice cream to celebrate my graduation. The service was excellent, the venue was perfect for lunch, and the food was delicious!
