Easy, good food. My go to is #4, 2 eggs, hash browns (extra crunchy please), 2 strips of bacon (decent but not the best) and fresh fruit. Wait staff is always friendly and attentive...clientele is on the older side so be careful in the parking lot. Great breakfast for the price...super convenient location just off Newport and First. read more

Feeling a little retro? Then check out Spires!! This is a great spot for a good, cheap breakfast! I've only been to this location once recently. The place is clean (altho rather dated). We had great food and really good, friendly service! I miss the location in Orange! Too bad they replaced it with that crappy new restaurant!! read more

Great customer service! Everything was quick - from seating to ordering to food to the bill. I initially ordered the corned beef hash but they ran out. Not only did our waitress (name?) apologize but so did the manager (he even explained why). It worked out since I believe the corned beef hash was canned, not fresh. Ambiance: 70's style decorations and furniture. Needs updating but the place is homey, clean, and not cruddy or ratty. Food: home style potatoes were good! fresh red potatoes with onions and bell peppers. The eggs were cooked nicely and not drowned in butter or margarine like IHOP. Bacon was crispy, sausages were nicely browned, and the coffee was pretty darn good. My only disappointment was the pancakes - they were doughy as if under cooked and heavy. I prefer my pancakes to be lighter and fluffier. Price: very reasonable...most dishes are $10 or under. Breakfast for 2 plus coffee was $20. Quality of food + price + customer service = great deal! Overall I agree with other Yelpers, I would prefer coming here over places like IHOP, Denny's, and the like. Will be a repeat customer. read more

Spires is a great neighborhood coffee shop. Always better than Denny's, Carrows, Marie Callender's, Coco's, and all of the other chains. The service is always great and the food is always good. They have the best sandwiches and onion rings. Their prices are also great too. You know when you are dining among Norman Rockwell pictures, you have come to the right diner. read more

Great food, great environment, great service. I go in for breakfast about 3-4 times a week, and I'm never dissatisfied. We always get served by Omar, who is a fantastic server. Highly recommend. read more

Typical decent breakfast place with nice enough service. May I repeat TYPICAL -- it didn't blow things out the water to be truly memorable. Good enough, and I may still come here again if the occasion calls for it, but if I want a great restaurant, this would be similar to a Denny's. I guess the restaurant from the night before, in both food and experience, kicked it's butt. read more

Solid. Pros: Good breakfast Good portions Decent prices Nice service Waits if there is one is not bad Cons: Outdated decor (but we went for the food anyways) read more

Spires, hmmm where should I start, first off I have always thought this place was a place for old people so I was never one to try it. One day me and my boyfriend were driving along and he stoped at spires to eat. I believe it was on mothers day. I ordered I think there cheeseburger combo and i think he ordered the same thing and man was it a cheap bill. I have never seen such a cheap bill. Kudos for the old people. Anyhow ever since then spires had become one of our spots especially when you are tight on money. The Westminster location had this teriyaki special only served on Wednesdays, which came with everything the grilled chicken breast, salad and soup, the drink, dessert and mean damn that was a lot of food for one person and it was only like 6 bucks. Sprires now a days SUCKS!!! It is way to expensive for the quality of food that they give you, its not like we are dining in a five star restaurant. For there prices now a days we would rather go and eat at chili's or clam jumpers. There food use to be good that's why i gave them 3 stars. And if you do plan on going to visit them i suggest trying the french dressing on there salad, its the bomb, and my bf loves there chicken gumbo soup, but watch out you think chicken gumbo and you think the south right, its more of a chowder kind of appearance. read more

I will start by saying,they have a server by the name Rafael,that is very very rude. When we finished our meal & went to pay,my husband left a tip & the server Rafael was not to happy about the amount & walk over to my husband and gave him back the tip & said he didn't need that kind of tip,but my husband tried to explain that he was getting more change to give him & he walk away. I honestly don't under stand why they have that guy working there! He is horrible to deal with,as many times we have been there. We just don't go any more,as much as we like the Chicken Dinner. Toooooooobad read more

Truly disappointing. My family and I typically have had a pretty good experience with Spires restaurants throughout the Southland. Tonight on the other hand was a devastating blow 2 our Spires restaurant record. Granted it was a Friday night and the prime time dinner rush, my family and I were expecting a slight delay in service. We were seated right away but waited at least 10 minutes for our beverages. We ordered right away hoping we would receive our food shortly after our beverages. Boy; were we wrong! We waited at least 35 minutes for our food and noticed other patrons receive their food before us. Sadly for us these patrons arrived after we did. When our food arrived; our steak were slightly charred. Our server brought 1 steak knife when we ordered 2 steaks. We asked for an additional steak knife but never reciveved one. I'll be fair, I won't let this experience cloud my overall opinion towards the restaurant chain, but this location needs to step up their game. read more

Very good diner breakfast we just had. It was bomb.com. family diner environment and great service. The hosts were real nice. Waffles were Delish! I agree with the other yelpers, better than your normal Denny's or Ihop read more

Spires Restaurant - Looks good so far! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Spires is our Tustin go to for weekend breakfasts. This place has it all - a charming 80's interior, blast from the past wait staff, and diner food that is a step up from Norm's, Coco's and the rest of the competition. read more

Came in a half hour before closing and the place was dead empty. The staff was mopping and obviously setting up to close. Most places you would expect that they'd not be too happy to see you walk in. Not this place. Same awesome food. Same awesome service. Same reasonable prices. Spires Tustin is the best. read more

Have a mug of jo. Take in the flavor of what was once the swankiest diner in town. And win a stuffed dragon from the claw machine on the way out! I visit Spires just to bring down the mean customer age from 91 years old. My 84-year-old ballroom dancing instructor Arturo brings down the mean age. Needless to say he'd feel welcome. Among his peers at Tustin's never-gonna-stop-serving-Salisbury-Steak-with-gravy headquarters. If indoor smoking were legal in California, I envision a perpetual fog at eye level. And beneath that lush canopy we'd take discourse in Tarantino inspired discussions of long con jobs, amid neighboring diatribes on obamacare and lactose. read more

Spires, during Covid times has really stepped up and it shows! They have have set up outside seating with tables under a large canopy and they have added a row of 6-8' tall potted plants that separate the tables from the first aisle of parking...The tables are spaced 6' feet or more apart and each server has a hand held machine to take your credit card right at the table, along with a printed receipt, if that is how you wish to pay. We definitely could tell they were taking all safety precautions seriously while providing good service too....We felt safe going here during Covid times and actually found it quite quaint...The food was good and on par for a nostalgic coffee shop/diner. read more

They don't have the chef's special pricing anymore but no one told me. The attitude was less than complimentary and when I told the young Latino dude I wouldn't be back he said, "thank you". Mouth the word "fondue" jerk! read more

I had been to this Spire's for their delicious Senior Spanish omelette several times. Decided to try their lunch/dinner senior menu today (Easter Sunday). Sat at the counter...I am 6'1" tall and find their counter and booths uncomfortable.....sit at a table! Ordered their meat loaf, which was covered with the same tomato sauce they use on their Spanish omelette. Ordered steam vegetables, salad, dinner roll and rice pudding. They served me two huge pieces of meat loaf.....everything was delicious and I took half of everything and 100% of the rice pudding home. The service was attentive and quick, though not friendly. I was hesitant to try this because of their $8.99 price, but it was worth it because of the satisfactory portions. read more

Sorry to say the spires on vineyard was a bad experience the eggs were cold and had an egg shell in them asked for more creamer for coffee and the waitress forgot I had to get up and get it myself and it wasn't crowded definitely won't be back two thumbs down read more

About 25 years ago, I came here and ordered the Beef Eater. Roast beef and cheese on toasted bread. Waitress suggest au jus with that like a French dip. I'm a fan and is about the only thing I have ever ordered ever since. Only reason I go there. My 4 stars is for the Beef Eater & service/staff. In the past years the portions have become smaller and the beef less quality and/or flavorful. As with most chains. I still like it and go there to get this and only this with french fries well done. I don't usually like fries. Had their onion rings a few times and no, no good. Went with a friend 3-4 times and she liked the wraps very much. Spires does cater to the senior crowd which is cool. Staff is always friendly and very attentive. read more

Fantastic value and that old school diner feel. Kind of your Marie Callendar/ Coco's type environment You can get a soup/salad, read more

Cheap prices, great food, fantastic customer service and grandma's & grandpa's. What more do you need?? Aside from wishing I could adopt every elderly person in the place, their food is great and totally reasonably priced. I must admit though, I've only had their breakfast--but I've been eating here for around 6 years now! My roommate and I used to eat here every weekend when we lived around the corner; now I try to visit at least once per month. They have amazing eggs benedict, if this is your style. They also have to die for homemade gravy atop their biscuits. I feel like I'm back at grannie's house, when she made gravy from scratch. They never let your coffee get below half of a cup. I'm sure their lunch and dinners are just as grand, but I highly recommend breakfast! read more

Had brunch here on New Years Day. Not bad. VERY VERY nice customer service! First time here and was impressed with that. The food was so-so. My eggs and turkey sausage patties were cold by the time they got to me and I had to request more butter for my waffle. By the time I got it, the waffle was almost cold. Waffle was pretty good. My fiancee's coffee was fresh. His "Southern breakfast" was not so great, but he ate it. Said the biscuits and gravy tasted like they were out of a box! Not the best food overall, but the prices and the customer service alone would keep me coming back just for some comfort-like food and a full belly. read more

This is a classic local joint. Good, hearty food for a good price! I can only speak to the breakfast menu (available all day!), but my hubs and I were happy with both our meals. I got the country skillet which has onions and peppers that were perfectly cooked (still firm, not limp and soaked in oil) with good flavor. Hubs got the lumberjack breakfast that whole it's big, it's also a manageable portion. They offer egg substitute or whites only. Avocado is all over the menu. Yummm! Clean, full of regulars, and definitely a place to add to a favorites list. Love these kinda of places! read more

Friday. Night. Sole. Dinner. SO GOOD! Fried zucchini is bomb, too! I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Always came w my dad for breakfast and then my mom, dad and I started coming for dinner. It's just a solid family-type restaurant. Their burgers are great, their club sandwiches are as good as you can get.... it's not fine dining, it's no frills, but GOOD. The staff is super friendly and will do anything for you. When I'm in town, it's always an option! read more

There always very good food. The waiters are great and so nice. The waiters Patty, Rubin, and sunny are really nice and are very attentive.

Great service from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. Very nice attentive servers. Everyone was helping us. Very many booths. A tiny but outdated but the food prices compensate for that. Not many handicapped parking spots though. But I will be returning. Very conveniently close by our home. First time here and not our last. read more

Spires Restaurant - No cheese omelette and egg whites!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Food, service, restaurant, and location are all OK... nothing great but not bad either. I had the waffle combo; one waffle, two strips of bacon and fresh fruit. The waffle was thin and very plain, the bacon was to be expected and the fruit was fresh and sweet. All in all just OK, not my first choice for breakfast but I won't go out of my way to avoid it either. read more

See all

I've been coming here for over 20 years now and I love it. Not the highest quality, but the servers and other staff are friendly and attentive, food is at a GREAT price, and they serve breakfast all day, although I'm partial to the spaghetti- no meatballs- even my dog won't eat those- a salad with their bleu cheese dressing and a side of cheese bread (not on the menu anymore- but you can ask for it- trust me you'll love it!). Simple food and way better than larger chains like Norm's, Denny's or IHOP. Check out their daily specials for only around $10 and for seniors this is a great stop with discounted rates- and I'll admit I'm probably one of their youngest patrons haha! read more

My boyfriend and I come here for dinner and it was a great service and the waiter was very nice. I order a salad, and my boyfriend order a ribeye steak for dinner. The order was quick, and our dinner got serve really quickly, and they are not low on drinks either, before we even finish our first drink the second one already out, and it keep refilling until we told our waiter we had enough. I will and would recomend to anyone that want to come to Spires, this is a good place for kids, family or get together as a group. Yeah way to go Spires read more

My brother, mother and I came in one day after I worked (I work in the shopping center) and decided to have family dine-in time. The lady who assisted us was nice. The manager is also very nice. I ordered the Chicken Breast Sandwich. The breast was PERFECTLY cooked and the BBQ sause was just right. The melt jack cheese was incredible. I literally had no complaints about the food, service, or area. I highly recommend you come in and try it. Way better than a fast food burger. Extremely authentic and handled with care. Spires is also better than Norms or IHop. Happy Belly = Happy Me ! read more

Second visit, my kids love it! Great food great service! Our new favorite place! Great Hospitality from start to the end! Thanks Spires!

Best Chicken fried steak. not very expensive. Older generation but very nice for family, get together, or hangout. read more

I stopped here for breakfast and I order the special of the day country breakfast, the place looks good like family restaurant and service is good and lots of parking space. read more

My family and I are usual's here. One friday night, I was craving fries and onion rings with my burger. I ordered my food loud and clear and when I got my order, they only gave me some fries and only 3 onion rings. I clearly asked for a side order of onion rings. But I guess they didn't hear me clear enough. Then I asked for ranch and waited and waited and never got it. It will probably be awhile that I won't eat from here again Either they need to understand in taking orders right or Pay attention when someone is asking for what they really want. read more

Their French Toast is our go to breakfast with over easy eggs, bacon or sausage and we add crispy hashbrowns to top it off. It's so yummy and always perfectly made. Not too hard. Not too mushy. It's just yummy. And when you get hungry later for a snack.... their fried zucchini with ranch is the best I've had ANY WHERE!! read more

Hash browns burnt. Eggs over cooked and they give me bacon when I ordered sausage. Rushed phone order. No customers waiting. Employees talking with each other. They're not even trying anymore. read more

This is my Dad's favorite place to take the family. We'll almost always go to Spires for dinner, no other meal, and I've never had to wait for seating. The service is friendly and the prices are very reasonable - a lot of older people eat here for that very reason. Regardless, it's a good place to get some of the more typical American dishes: hamburgers, salads, chicken, fish, steak, etc. read more

Spires Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

My favorite Breakfast spot!!! I've been here half a dozen times for breakfast. They have great prices and the wait staff is attentive and nice! I always sit at the counter and love the experience. They are really on top of keeping my coffee cup filled and I really like that. I highly recommend the place. I've never tried lunch or dinner, but I've heard good things about it. Will be checking that out soon! read more

Love this restaurant! We go for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have great daily specials. Great food, great prices!

Have been eating at this Spires for over 15 years and over that time it has continually improved. The manager, Robert can be seen helping with orders, cleaning windows, clearing the tables, cooking and, of course, manning the cash register. He is open to suggestions and if not too busy will stop and chat. The servers remember your name and your food preferences. The portions are ample and prices moderate. read more
