    Had a nice breakfast this morning at Snooty Fox. Samantha was my amazing server and was kind, professional and efficient. The other staff members were also quite spectacular. My coffee cup never went dry. I had the country fried steak with potatoes, scrambled eggs, and sourdough toast. Good food, service and positive ambiance. Highly recommended

    The Snooty Fox is FIRE . I LOOOOVE me a good breakfast spot! This cute little diner feels like home. Cozy, friendly, and anything you order is going to be delicious . I love finding cool little spots! I will definitely be back when I visit.

    Found this place on my way back home and I'm so glad I did. The food was delicious and filling, and the whole spot has that old, familiar, mom-and-pop restaurant feel that I absolutely love. I was especially happy to see Mexican plates on the menu that did not miss on flavor, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and made with care. Customer service was spot on too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which really made the experience even better.

    This is a true classic. Five of us visited Snooty Fox on a Saturday morning and were greeted by a dining room packed with locals. We were lucky to find the only empty table and settled right in. Their coffee tastes like something brewed at home decades ago--simple, comforting, and without any fancy alternatives. The menu, however, offers plenty of choices: melted cheese, runny yolks, hearty portions, and dishes that feel like they were just brought out of a family kitchen. The decor is humble and nostalgic, adding to the old-school charm. During our meal, people kept coming in, and soon there were one or two groups waiting by the door. Still, tables turn over quickly, so the wait isn't too long. It's clear this place is well-loved by locals. A warm, traditional spot that delivers exactly the kind of comfort food you hope for.

    Garden omelette with "those potatoes"
    Michael T.

    The Snooty Fox is a breakfast institution in Lake Forest. They've been around for a long, long time, 30+ years, serving up hearty home-cooked style American breakfast. My all time favorite is the garden omelette, adding ham with the sourdough. The hollandaise sauce on the top is so good. Other options are also tasty. They've also got a kids menu with some pretty good options. Service is generally pretty good, though they are always slammed on the weekends so be prepared to wait and deal with that. We started calling ahead and getting our stuff to go. The location has that small town diner feel, that has been around since the 80s. By the cash register there are so many pictures of kids and families that have been regulars over the years. It's a classic and if you are looking for classic breakfast- you can't go wrong here.

    Meatball sub

    It truly depends the kind of person you are. I didn't adore it but i definitely see the appeal. I got a patty melt with extra onions and potato salad. I also got a side of macaroni salad. My husband and I shared some fries and onion rings while he had a huge meatball melt. I loved the patty melt. It was really filling and greasy and cheesy and savoury. The potato salad as well, perfect texture and taste. And the onion rings were amazing. I very rarely like onion rings as it's always a toss up on if you get good onion rings or just a mouthful of batter and nothing else. These were perfect. Crispy and balanced and sooo good. On the flip side of things, the macaroni salad was meh. Not my thing. And to add to that, my husbands sandwhich was truly too much. According to him, it was so delicious but the bread got soggy and was falling apart as he ate it. If that's your thing, go ahead. For the most part the food was delicious but extremely rich. Regardless their motto is true, very filling, very affordable, huge portions, and overall, delicious food. Very worthwhile.

    First timer! Saturday brunch. Waited about 15 mins for a table inside. Friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. Food came out quick and was tasty. We ordered the steak and eggs as well as pancakes. Loved the feel of this place. Enjoyed our experience here.

    French Toasts, 2-eggs plate with sausages, hash browns, and biscuits, Egg Florentine, refillable coffee

    Came here for breakfast and almost every table was filled including outside. Even with the busy day, service was efficient. By past 11 am, it became quieter and not too noisy. My family enjoyed what we ordered: the grilled French Toast (four halves) was fluffy with butter and syrup, the 2-egg (sunny side up) with three sausages, a couple of biscuits, and hash browns were deliciously generous, and the Eggs Florentine was incredibly tasty! Overall the meal was satisfying and very filling. Will definitely go back much later in the day for a quieter breakfast.

    Fox plate or whatever and eggs Benedict

    Ya bruh still goated asf best breakfast spot in the lake Forest Laguna hills area. Ambiance is straight gas. The service is always good and the water is always cold!

    It was an good experience overall, a very convenient breakfast spot right of the I-5 and Lake Forest Dr. Seating inside only. Clean restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. It was 2 of us, around 8 am. Not busy, we left around 9 am, and it was pretty busy. Staff could've been a bit more friendly, especially since they were not really busy around 8 am. They seemed to be very friendly with their regular customers though, not so much with new ones like us. Food was good. A bit pricey I would say. I had the Foxy scramble ($17), but the portions are definitely worth it, and the food is delicious. I didn't give them 5 stars because of the customer service. Other than that, good experience overall. Worth coming back!

    Salamander Bread topped with extra guac with a side of fries but for some reason it looks like French toast. AHHHHH fuggit about ittttt....
    Bonnabelle M.

    I wanted to stick it in the food it was sooooo GREAT! The French toast was a "naughty bitch" and submitted to my tongue. I LOOOVVVEEE FRENCH TOAST MAMA, AND THIS DELIVERED!!!!! holy conoli I think I had an accident.!!!!! 4/5 cause I'm broke and too expensive. Even tho I didn't pay and my fiancé did.

    I had brunch here with my mom and wife. I ordered the eggs florentine, my wife the French Toast and my mom the eggs overeasy with hash browns and sausages. Of the three dishes, I thought the eggs florentine was the best: lots of spinach and hollandaise sauce with the poached eggs. The hash browns were called "those potatoes" on the menu as green peppers are added to the dish. (It's a signature twist on hash browns at the restaurant.) The French Toast and the eggs overeasy with sausages were solid dishes but nothing too special. Our waitress was friendly and efficient --- and very busy as the restaurant was packed. The ambiance was that of a packed, very busy and popular breakfast, brunch and lunch place. I thought the prices were on the high side but otherwise its a good place for a good and filling breakfast.

    Cindy E.

    Service was good but if I were the cook I would be embarrassed to send out the burnt hashbrowns that were on my plate. Probably wouldn't come back if I come back to the area.

    Vegan garden burger.

The guy who runs the trivia is great, and the questions are fun, interesting, and definitely make you think. It's become one of my favorite trivia nights in the area.

It's my first time at this bar and hopefully not the last. Now time for the fun part. I sat at the bar area to not only have a small talk with a bartender, but also have a decent drink, my usual drink at a dive bar or sports bar is the jack and coke (Jack Daniels and Coca-cola). Gotta love it. For the food.... I got me some southwest egg rolls, and California burger. Yum. First off, egg rolls was sooooo delicious, especially with that special sauce.... really nice kick to it. California burger is so good. Added bonus, I had some sauce leftover which I've tried it on the burger. Soooo good. Cost wasn't too bad. 10.95 for the egg rolls, 18.95 for the burger, and $10 for the jack and coke. Oh, and I didn't forget to tip the lady (bartender). Funny thing is, she had no idea I'm left handed. I'm just glad my parents never smacked my left hand for writing with my left hand. Before I left the parking lot, some guy saw me, and was telling me how great Jarrod is. I've heard of him long time ago. One day, I'll introduce myself to Jarrod. Hopefully soon enough. See ya around, try not to get your left hand smacked, ya?

My son called Culinary Dropout and spoke with Olivia, the hostess, to see if the kitchen was still serving. Olivia responded with genuine warmth and kindness, assuring us that the kitchen was still open and that they would be happy to welcome us. From the moment we arrived, Olivia's hospitality set the tone for an exceptional evening. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel genuinely welcome, and promptly seated us. Shortly after, our server, Layla, introduced herself. Despite the late hour, she was energetic, engaging, and had an infectious enthusiasm that elevated the entire dining experience. She expertly recommended several cocktails, along with a glass of wine, and her knowledge of both the bar program and the menu was impressive. Her recommendations for appetizers and entrées were spot on. We decided on the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, BBQ Nachos, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Another team member, Emanuel, delivered one of our dishes and was equally personable and engaging. He took the time to share information about the restaurant, further demonstrating the outstanding level of hospitality displayed by the entire team. Manager Dave also stopped by our table to check on our experience. We shared with him that this was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Orange County in quite some time. Great food certainly matters, but it was the exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and positive energy of the staff that made the evening truly memorable. A sincere thank you to Layla, Olivia, Emanuel, Dave, and the entire Culinary Dropout team for creating such a first-class dining experience. We look forward to returning soon and will gladly recommend your restaurant to family and friends.
