This place was perfect! Not only for me and my friend but for the kids too . Fast service BOMB FOOD . Chicken salad Italian dressing can't go wrong read more

Love this place great homemade comfort foods. Patty melt and Philly cheesesteak are my favorites. Will be back over and over again.

Paul's is really good if you want to be full and satisfied. Very nice service also. I got breakfast. I left very happy.

Breakfast burritos!!!! I was coming here at least once a week just for breakfast burritos! I love how flexible they are here. My go to order is a chorizo and bacon breakfast burrito with refried beans instead of hash browns. Totally customized, and they never once gave me a hard time about it. It's great, classic, diner food. read more

I really like this place! I stop in here once or twice a week and am always served by friendly staff and have great-tasting food! Not much more to say but I'll be coming-back! read more

Great spot to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner. The food is great and the portions are big. But most importantly it all tastes delicious. The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean. The staff is very courteous and attentive. Give them a try. read more

Great service and even better food! Salads are great, Onion rings are da'bomb, but nothing is as good as the Zuchini fries!!! Ohhh wait, I take that back, the lamb Gyro is the best!!! Looking for a big hearty salad...they have that too. Great place and great atmosphere. We will be back again for sure. read more

I use to really like this place. Great food and great people. But tonight I asked for hash browns instead of fries with my combo meal. So yes my family are good customers (or we use to be)! Tonight they wanted to charge me $1.25 extra even though fries and hash brown are the same price. That's just being greedy $$$. Its not really the money it the principal We are making the extra drive to Kenos or somewhere else...... read more

I really wish this Paul's place had a drive thru but phone orders are usually okay. They aren't great at guesstimating how long it's going to take for the food to be ready. Usually I end up having to wait inside for an additional ten minutes or so. The food itself is really good tho. Huge burgers with fresh ingredients. Lots of lettuce, tomato and onion. I've had their pastrami burger and that's as eat more than I could handle. they really really stuff the burger which is great for your money's worth. I love their fries here. The order of fried zucchini and mushrooms is HUGE as well so make sure you have somebody to share it with. They sprinkle them both with Parmesan cheese!! Their onion ring batter is pretty perfect as well--some places make it too thick or too salty. The onion is thick and sweet. They are a little more expensive than other burger joints but they serve quality food so I think it's worth it. I usually get extra ranch and thousand island to dip my fries or sides in. read more

Great breakfast spot! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious! I've been to this location a dozen times and I've never had a bad experience. read more

This place has great prices and good food. I am very confused as to why this place isn't a franchise yet. Better everything for this type of restaurant. Way better than ihop, Norms or any other restaurant like these. read more

Bad Service!! We came for a quick breakfast. There's was no one in line before us restaurant had about 3 other families sitting. We ordered and took a seat. Another guy comes after us and orders and gets his food before us. We waited about 40 minutes for your food to be served and that's with me asking where our food was, bad service the girl just has told me it's coming but didn't not go back and check. Worst service ever never coming to this location the wait time was ridiculous for a salad and onion rings. Don't recommend visit the other locations they are friendlier and offer better service. read more

Love their hamburgers... Prices are good, parking lots always full... Good place!! Yummyyy

I normally brag about this place, but this morning I had a terrible experience. I ordered biscuits and gravy for takeout. I got all the way home and discovered there was absolutely no gravy at all! I called back and told them about it and made a return trip. They said they would remake the meal, and they did not. There was no compensation offered at all even when I suggested it. All they did was slap some gravy on to the existing meal and that's it. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years, we like it so much. The girls here are so sweet and accommodating and cooks will prepare your meal however you need it, which is great for food sensitive individuals. The atmosphere is super inviting, it's kinda like being at home, especially when you're a regular and everyone knows your name and they do! The food is really good and the portions are huge. read more

We love this place. We come once or twice a week. We have never had a bad meal. The wait staff is always so helpful, we love the Brosted Chicken, lemon Greek soup, Greek chicken and Greek salad, their country fried steak is great. The portions are great and we feel like we're at home there. Thank you read more

Every single time that I come here it is a win win and I just love coming here I want to try other foods but I just can't get away from their burgers. They are always so good and just perfect! I love fairly close so it's always a great stop before going home. The burgers are amazing and so is the staff. Dillion helped me today and man he was so awesome! Keep up the good work man!!! Will always be coming back to Paul's place read more

I just dont get it you pay more for this food than most burger joints and when you do a take out they FORGET EVERYTHING!!! Beware and check you bags for you items or you will get ripped off!!! read more

15+ year customer never to return. I placed a order a couple weeks ago and I had a hair in my food!! Mistakes happen!! I called Irene the manager and she gave me a hard time. I called the Buena Park store I've gone to for a very long time left message no call back..called again and received response to replace my order. 2 weeks after incident I was by the store today and was greeted by Paul the owner basically telling me I was liar about my food and I was there to get something for free!! Disappointed and sad that this man treats his customers with such disrespect!!! I can afford to buy my own meal but no longer will it be at Paul's!!!! read more

Good fast food. Place is clean. Old school setting, friendly waitresses. Large portions, good food and a nice place to relax or have lunch with a friend while on break. I recommend the avocado burger and the BLT. Food can be greasy at times, according to what you are picking. read more

Pretty good place. I like their variety in options from the menu. Everything seems so good that it's hard to decide what I really want. lol But overall, they have great cooks. I wish the girls working the counter were a little nicer. Majority of the time they're just with a serious face and just not happy but then again it might just be me. read more

My husband had been to Paul's Place before but I never had so we tried it out last week together for dinner. The place is so cute! It was a little dark inside but very cozy. They had 50''s -60's music playing which reminded me of my childhood and listening to my parents music. It had a super fun atmosphere. You go up to a counter and order your meal, then get your drinks at the beverage counter and take a seat anywhere you'd like, they bring your meal out to you. Our waiter was very good, he checked on us a couple of times and was very friendly. I got the chicken strip meal and my husband got a (huge) chicken sandwich. Each meal came with French fries, mine also came with onion rings and a side salad. The portions were very generous. Great prices, excellent service and delicious food, we'll definitely be returning to Paul's Place in the near future. A+ read more

We love great diners like Paul's and were so happy to find one in Orange that serves *broasted* chicken. Think of super juicy fried chicken minus the grease. We also had their fantastic gyro salad and fried zucchini -- both huge portions perfect for sharing. We can't wait to go back for breakfast. read more

I love Paul's Place but this location is just rude. I walked in at 7:56pm, I know exactly what time it was because I texted my husband to ask what he wanted to eat. I was looking at the menu for a couple minutes. There were people dining in. And a gentleman in line in front of me had just gotten his food and went to fill his soda. There were 2 other customers sitting on the bench waiting for their food. A couple employees were chatting behind the counter and bagging up food for the waiting people. I was being polite and waiting my turn. Nobody asked if I was ready to order so I asked if somebody could take my order. The girl said that they were closed. I looked at her in shock and disapointment. I was hungry. I looked at my phone and it was 8:04pm. She said they closed at 8:00pm. I told her I walked in the unlocked door before 8:00pm and was waiting behind the other customers so I could order. She said sorry and walked away. So I walked out and wrote this review in my car in the parking lot after I called my husband. read more

If they screw up your order which they did my husbands... they will only exchange if you bring it back lol. My husband ordered a egg sandwich and a side of bacon for the kids. He gets the egg sandwich and it has bacon inside the eggs. I eat half of it because I don't want it to go to waste. My husband doesn't eat pork so he was still hungry and I called and they tell me bring the whole sandwich in. I told them I ate half because we split it and they said we will make you half then lol!!!!! It's a $3.99 sandwich seriously? My husband deserves the whole sandwich if you guys screwed up. Cheap!!!! Not going there anymore. read more

We had their avocado burger and it was delicious. I also tried their fries, fried zucchini, friend mushrooms and a few other things. Will definitely come back for more since they're so close to my church! read more

The girls here are so friendly and sweet, one of the reasons we love coming here! Ask for Angelina, Nancy or Erica cause they are amazing!! They know who who are and greet you in the warmest way! Food is super yummy and the portions are huge! read more

Excellent breakfast. Service is friendly and food is very good. I had an excellent omelette with hash browns. My wife had tasty French toast with bacon. All terrific. You order at the counter, get a number, and they bring the hot food to the table. The booths are very comfortable and the 50s/60s music is just great read more

Boy they have sure done a fantastic job decorating this place. Which was a dump before the new owners took over! And the food is awesome. I've had a lot of their dishes. I also disagree with some of the other reviews. Pastrami is delicious and not dry or flavorless. Love the hamburgers and any of the Mexican dishes! Staff are wonderful, friendly, helpful and on top of customer service. Definitely a new favorite spot to come and highly recommend coming here! read more

Do you like diners? Do you like cleanliness? Do you enjoy excellent 5 star service in a relaxed atmosphere? Then Paul's Diner is your place. On top of all things previous mentioned you get a lot of food and the prices are pretty low for the amount and quality. Lets talk selection, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Burgers, shakes, salads, deli favorites, Mexican, and Greek. The huge menu takes a bit to get through but everything we have tried has been far beyond our expectation for the price. Do not order extra food, as the portions are really big. Cannot say enough about the great service. We just moved into the area and it is already one of our favorites. read more

By far the worst Paul's place I have ever been to. The food is mediocre at best and the prices are kind of pricy for what you get. So today I ordered a Chicken breast sandwich ($5.99) that I upgraded to a combo. Total price for that $11.99 + tax. Now I'm no math wiz but how can a side of fries and drink add up to an extra $6.00?!?!?! Whatever, I got ripped off... it happens, hopefully the food was good right? Wrong. I asked for light mayo and both top and bottom bun had excess mayo. The chicken had so much seasoning that it tasted a bit salty, also I think it might have been a little under cooked. Needless to say I would have been better off st Carl's Jr. My GF got a ham and cheese omlette with their home style fries. Imagine a omlette with two craft singles (cheese slices) on top of the omlette with a side of thin potato slices (substitute for hash browns). It tasted bland and she didn't even eat half of it. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of just 1 is because the dining area is very clean and the staff is really nice. Unfortunately though, not enough to have me coming back. Today's food reminded me why I was unhappy with this place the last time we were there. read more

First timer here! Went in for lunch today, and I was not disappointed! The food was great and even better, the staff was so friendly and helpful. Very welcoming atmosphere. Manager walked over by my table to ask how my visit was- most burger joints don't do that anymore. I was definitely pleased and will be returning for a breakfast burrito. Thank you for a pleasant visit read more

Zucchini is on point! A bit pricier than I would like my greasy burger joint to be, but the food is fresh and delicious and they give you a lot of it. read more

They LOST our order! We waited.....and waited.......and waited......and waited......and waited ......and waited.......then finally I went to ask. A woman told me that what we ordered takes longer to cook! (Yeah, but half an hour?!) so we waited longer, and STILL no food came. Eventually, I asked for my money back, and the same woman wanted to stop and figure out what had happened. To be fair, though, she WAS apologetic. That was 50 minutes of hungry waiting and waiting and waiting for absolutely NO reason whatsoever! Cannot comment on the food because I NEVER GOT ANY! read more

Wow! The menu a lot to choose from.food delish the portion size huge you can easily share. The staff friendly and helpful

Restaurant was very clean, service was great, food was quick. I ordered the Greek omelette, very tasty good size. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Recently moved to Columbus, Ohio after living in SoCal most of my life. You know what's missing? Paul's Place and a few other Hamburger Havens of Greek descent. I miss those big beautiful burgers, their awesome take on Mexican food and just the atmosphere. Paul & Mrs. Paul... If you feel the need to open a stand in Ohio, please make it Soon!
