    Country Fried Steak and Eggs with plain Home Fries
    Lori D.

    Everything is good at Orange Cafe Bistro! Food, service and ambiance are better than 95% of the rest of the breakfast places in Orange County. Prices are in line with other restaurants. Try the Spinach Quiche, Eggs Benedict, Chicken Fied Steak, Patty Melt and Breakfast Burrito are all favorites with us. The servers are all terrific and friendly: Maria, Nina, Alicia, Emilio and Mia. Say HI! for us.

    Such a lovely place for a brunch with friends! Our server Nina was so friendly and gave great recommendations about the specialties. Service was fast and food was delicious. Thanks for a great brunch!

    Local neighborhood cafe since 1980s, typical brunch menu. Small & decent food. Friendly service. Quaint little coffee charm.

    Love it!! We had the ham and eggs and sides of fresh avocados and tomatoes! The toast was so good, I loved the larger slices nicely buttered up, like the old diners used to have. Emilio was our server and he was very attentive. He even made sure my dog had lots of water and he recommended a puppy patty for my pup. Everything was wonderful, so wonderful that we ate everything before I got to take a picture of the food!

    This was the perfect family post-graduation brunch! We heard about this place recently, that it's one of the best brunches in Orange and it lived up to the hype! I love that it's a hidden gem tucked away in a small shopping center. It's a small but quaint spot with both indoor and outdoor (limited) seating. Emilio our server was wonderful, the food was delicious and the portions were great. Especially awesome that you can choose a pancake with your omelette as your choice of bread! Because everyone always wants a side of just one pancake with their breakfast, literally perfect, and included in the price (epic)! The hash browns were delicious and I especially loved the squaw bread option (amongst many others they offer). Last but not least and kind of random but I really like how the iced coffees are served in a chilled mug, it's just that much better. We'll def be back OCB, thank you!

    First time and omg I found my new breakfast place. Absolutely delicious and the customer service has a phenomenal. I had the crème brûlée French toast and it was unbelievable, a must have. My server Emilio was as super friendly and beyond helpful, he loves what he does. Will be back and become a regular.

    This is a hidden little gem! My girlfriend and I came here for brunch. We had Emilio as our server. He was awesome. Super attentive and kind. Nice ambiance with a little covered outdoor seating and indoor seating. The food was really good. Will definitely be back.

    I'm a little late with getting this review out. I couldn't figure out the name of the restaurant but finally figured it out! Food was great, we sat outside because the inside smell like old oil. Definitely does not have good ventilation. Our waitress was nice and the food was good. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Crab Cakes (imitation crab) | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    A little disappointed overall with the food. Pastrami Sandwich was OK. The pastrami itself was a little dry, thick, and not fatty enough. French roll wasn't crunchy like I requested. I asked for the crab cakes as a side instead of Benedict. I should've asked whether it were made with real or imitation crab before ordering. Turns out, it's imitation crab. I'm not sure I've been to a restaurant that serves imitation crab for crab cakes. Feels kinda wrong. And these "crab" cakes came out not as hot as I expected. Yes they were crispy on the outside but the inside was not hot. Makes me wonder if it's old. Originally told it would be one cake for $6 but they gave me 2. So that's cool. Small plaza with limited parking. Restaurant is also small and it felt too crowded inside. Anyway, I wanted to like this place because of high ratings. But left feeling underwhelmed.

    Chilaquiles with carnitas

    Local Gem. The food here is really good and reasonably priced. If it's your first time, they'll point you toward their popular dishes, which is helpful. Their portions are very generous! The pancakes are a standout--super fluffy and not dry at all. They have indoor and outdoor tables available. The staff is warm and welcoming--our waitress Alicia was great. It has that true home-style diner feel, where they actually take the time to chat with you and make you feel like a regular. I overheard that they've had the same chef for 30 years, along with some of the same servers, which honestly says a lot. I'll definitely be making this place one of my regular spots.

    Been here quite a few times and it's always good. The servers are friendly and the portions for breakfast are pretty big. I usually go with the omelette and it never disappoints. It does get busy on the weekends, so getting there early helps avoid the crowd. Prices are reasonable and I like the string lighting and decorations. It gives a nice vibe.

    Bloody Mary
    Adam G.

    Nice little mom-and-pop breakfast joint located just off the side of the main street. Very relaxed vibe, run by one incredibly busy gal who I assume was the owner. Prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. Good selection of food, the eggs Benedict in particular was very tasty. Highly recommend not to overlook it because it's a bit unassuming from the street view.

The only downside is parking can be a little difficult during lunch time. One of the things I like about this place is when you walk through the door you already have a warm and fuzzy feeling. Almost like you're going into someone else's home for a meal. Lots of wood. Lots of dim lining. The place is very upscale without feeling stuffy. If you are going there for lunch, I highly recommend you get the burger off the menu. I am not kidding. It is one of the best tasting hamburgers I've had in a very long time. They cook it perfectly and their french fries are seasoned to perfection. Wait staff is top-notch, they definitely take care of your table while not hovering over you. One thing of note, they have great iced tea. Bottom line? If you are in town and looking for a good lunch that won't break the bank, I highly recommend public legacy, and make sure you get the burger!

The roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach were a great compliment to the fish and the pesto sauce tied everything together by adding immense flavor to the dish. I loved every single bite and they practically had to stop me from licking the plate clean. Highly recommend you try this dish when you go!!

The smoked salmon flatbread wasn't as good, it looks very colorful and pretty, but I didnt think the flavors went together very well. I like the smokiness but the salmon wasn't umami enough to justify mixing in caviar and avocado and arugula that would normally pair well with beef.
