    Mom and pop spot with the no frills type of burger. These are the spots that I enjoy the most. Solid solid spot, its kinda in the cuts so not sure I'll be back but I'm glad I was able to try it out at least once! Bacon cheeseburger because why the heck not. Service was fast and the food was hot! 8/10

    Delicious onion rings!

    Hole in the wall appearance from the outside. Unassuming burger joint. The inside was clean and we were greeted pleasantly by the staff. Ordered a couple sodas, Avocado BLT, Cheeseburger and Onion Rings. Everything was delicious! Husband has not stopped talking about his BLT. We look forward to checking out their breakfast.

    Food and customer service were good. Serve time was super fast. I would stop by again if I'm local and in the mood for burgers and fries.

    Bacon avocado burger

    The best burgers in the area! I grew up in Anaheim where burger places like this are everywhere but since I moved to Newport they have been hard to find. Super solid burger, very crisp zucchini fries and good ranch. The service was good, what you would expect in a place like this. Will be coming back very soon.

    One of the best burgers I've had for the price. The meat was the best part, it was nice and charred with a good amount of flavor and all the ingredients looked fresh and tasted fresh. The fries were salted nicely and came out hot. Service was fast from the moment I ordered. There's also plenty of seating and parking which is a plus. Will definitely come back to try the other menu items when I'm in the area.

    Classic Burger with a side of zucchini fries

    This is a small family owned burger spot. They also have sandwiches, salads, and some breakfast items. Their classic Hamburger is just under $5 and nice sized served with a thousand island type sauce. I love adding an order of zucchini fries, which are also just under $5. Those I usually have to share because they are much more filling than potato fries. Everything is delicious! Some seating inside.

    Colousle Burger and Zucchini.

    Don't let this little Restaurant detour for going in. It has 9 tables, 5 are 4 top and the other 4 are 2 top tables. Was greated by a young lady when I walked in, and 6 employees that I could see working. Food came out quick and Hot! I ordered the Colousle Burger and Zucchini. The burger was delicious and the Zucchini was perfectly cooked. Not over cooked at all. With only 9 tables seating can be a little tight. However I would recommend this little Gem

    Fries, onion rings, colossal burger!

    I am glad to say I finally took a chance on this place and I can understand why (at least to me) this is a Santa Ana staple. Me and my cousin arrived around 6:15pm and was able to order immediately. I believe the front counter guy was named Hector, least that what it said on the receipt, he was really helpful and polite! My cousin ordered a bacon avocado burger while I ordered the colossal cheese burger which was basically a pastrami burger and a side of onion rings. The restaurant itself is pretty small but had plenty of seating. Also played some catchy tunes. The food was made fresh to order which was awesome and took about 5-7 minutes for it to come out. The burger itself was huge! And plenty of fries and onion rings came with the order. First trying the onion rings, and they were crispy! Absolutely delicious when you dip them in ranch. Definitely a must try here! The fries itself were fresh and crunchy! Now for the pastrami burger... it came with a generous amount of pastrami and tasted delicious! I'm starting to see why this place is highly rated! I paid around $18 for my entire meal which was honestly a great deal considering the portions of everything. I would highly recommend getting your burger fix here! Definitely get a side of onion rings!

    The amount of times I've been here since I told my friend about this place and rediscovered it again. I'm sad that that I kinda forgot about this place I can't tell you. But let's say this is my to go burger place!!! I have never once been disappointed in their service. They are always so nice and very quick!! I feel like if I had to wait 30 min for a burger I would definitely wait!! It had both inside and outside seating!! Which is a plus!! I've never seen it messy. And I like that you can see the ppl cook the burgers for you!! My friends rating Cheese burger 8/10 according to my friend it needed more char taste but that's her personal preference but she said she likes it for not being char Avocado Bacon Cheese 9/10 just cuz she said it had too much avocado for her (she a bit picky) Waffle fries 7/10 Fries 8/10 My review Avocado Cheese burger 100/10 I love the amount of avocado they add!! I always add extra sauce and extra pickle!!!! The sauce is soooo good imo Double cheeseburger with Avocado 100/10 I underestimated how massive it was for me. But still bomb!! Zucchini fries 8/10 I feel like it needs more seasoning Onion ring 9/10 I will say I need to try more stuff but this is my go to place for burgers!!!

    Double double

    Great burger stop! Food was delicious, great customer service and nice and clean environment. If they had a drive through that would be awesome

    What a great place for a burger for sure! I got a cheese burger combo and it was delicious. This is better than most burger places i been to around the city. They customer service was good. Food came out hot! Soda machine tasted fresh, not flat which is a plus and it's self served. The cheese burger and onion rings overall were extremely good. But the star of the show and i swear are the chicken nuggets! I will say that the chicken nuggets here are some of the best i ever had, better than MCD even. You get 8 piece for $4.50 and they are soo incredible that i will come back and just eat nuggets with their BBQ sauce, just amazing! Yup i know i will be back soon! Food rating: Nuggets 9.5/10 they are FIRE and the best i ever had! Cheese burger 9.0/10 Onion Rings 9.0/10 BBQ sauce 8.9 Ranch dressing 8.7

I explained that we saw there were plenty of reservations available and booked it for 5:15 on Yelp. When I told the hostess I that I booked the 5:15 reservation on Yelp, she rolled her eyes at me. The manager wasn't helpful either. When we informed them that we have decided to leave and go somewhere else, they just say ok. No apology or attempt to try and seat us. Obviously, we were more of a bother to them. Bummer, cause I heard the food was pretty good. Restaurants are part of the hospitality industry, so when they have bad hospitality, it ruins the experience.

    I have so many favorites at Crave and this is one of my favorite restaurants in DTSA…read more Their grilled caprese sandwich is so good that I even tried to make it at home because I was so sad I would go broke if I bought it every day. Their salmon bagel is super good too. I'm not a fan of caper but you can just ask them to not include it or just take them off yourself. If you look at my picture, under the salmon, there is a big slice of tomato that adds on to the flavor. Its so thick that I cant get a mouthful with all the flavors in one bite. After I tried the salmon bagel here, it's really hard for me to be satisfied with a salmon bagel anywhere else. They also have 2 soups of the day that they post on their Instagram. My favorite is their chicken Chipotle soup. Again, I love it so much I tried to make it at home so I can eat it if I'm craving it on a day that its not the soup of the day. You can tell their soups are made fresh because it always varies a little each time. Their cookies and brownies are delicious too. Their brownies are THICK. The only thing I would skip here is their coffee. Their menu sounds interesting and intriguing but they were just okay. For coffee, I would go to other coffee shops down the street. The vibe inside is a cute brunch spot and they have some patio seating as well. The patio seating is nice because the street in front is a one way street and isnt busy. There is limited street parking in front, but there is a parking garage around the corner.

I even drove from Westminster because I was looking forward to enjoying one of their sandwiches that I hadn't had in a long time. I also ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie, which unfortunately tasted unusually salty. I called to share my feedback about the cookie, and the response I received from Frank was dismissive and unhelpful. He stated that he tastes the cookies every morning and insisted there was nothing wrong with them. There was no offer to replace the item or further address my concern, and the conversation ended abruptly with a brief "have a good day." Overall, I was disappointed by the lack of attentiveness and willingness to engage with a customer concern over what was simply one menu item. Unfortunately, this experience has changed my perception of the restaurant and may affect my decision to return in the future and share the experience of horrible customer service!!

The meats are the real star and the dishes built around them actually complement everything instead of just being a vehicle for brisket. Their brunch menu is fantastic and don't sleep on the sandwiches. The potatoes are killer, too! Also, the portions are generous, which almost never happens at this quality level. Most importantly, the flavor doesn't take a hit either. Quick bit of context for anyone considering this spot: Le Hut Dinette comes from the team behind Heritage Barbecue, so the meat pedigree is real. The chef, Ryan Garlitos, also has a Michelin Plate Award under his belt from his own restaurant. This isn't just good barbecue slapped onto a diner menu. It's someone who genuinely knows what he's doing running the whole show. Only real drawback is parking in the area. It's rough. Pro tip: go on Sundays when the bread spot next door is closed.

I started with the blue bread, which I loved, but the credit to which I owe to 6100 Bread. My other favorite dish was the bread pudding for dessert, which was also 6100 Bread! I got a couple of dishes to share, and they were good, definitely heavy and slathered in gravy. I do think for the portions that the dishes are worth the money, but damn these plates are loaded with thick, fatty pieces of meat. One of the dishes did come with a slaw, but I don't think it was enough to cut through the richness. Maybe it's just not for me! I tend not to like such indulgent meals, but I think this would be a great spot for meat lovers. The inside is beautiful for date night, with retro diner decor with refined touches to fit the menu. The wine selection is large, and it's a quiet space with a nice ambience. I hope to come back to try their brunch and give them a second try!

The cooking uses quality ingredients and love and care. I was here on business by myself and was seated immediately and after a quick look at the menu decided on the devil's cut ribeye a steak. It comes with a massive amount of oven, roasted potatoes and green beans. I also got a side salad with it as well which was way too much food for one person. The entire thing was big enough for two normal or maybe even three light eaters. The steak was excellent with a sweet coffee rub with a slightly sweet mapley taste. I could only finish about half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I was full, I decided to try the fried apple pie because it was recommended by many other reviewers. It was actually amazing. It was the dish that was highly recommended by the server and she was not wrong. The ice cream on top was probably House made and the pie itself was like a gourmet version of a hostess apple pie but of course with much higher quality ingredients and it was delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting. It is a fun place to visit with the visual aspects such as the bird cages in the window case. Oak barrels used for aging whiskey are set around and the general vibe was very attractive. Everyone was having a great time and making quite a lot of noise from all the conversation and the music, but people were really enjoying themselves. If you want to have a quiet conversation with someone, this is probably not your place, but if you want a fun time with that kind of vibe, it is an excellent place. I recommend Bosscat highly.

I either order The Cut (yes, the $40 burger and fries) or I make my own bleu cheese burger depending on my mood. I'll cut to the chase: is the $40 burger worth it? If you've got $40 to spare and you like burgers, I think it's definitely worth it. I mean, I've had it probably three or four times now, and I'm not some kind of moron who likes setting money on fire (I hope), so it must be good, right? What's unique about it? Basically everything, but obviously the patty of meat is the star of the show, with a unique taste and texture that makes it stand out from a normal ground beef patty, and the cheese is no slouch either. The only negative is that my wife bullies me into ordering it so she can steal a few bites. The regular fries and sweet potato fries are also great. My wife got a steak with her caesar salad one time, and that was delicious too. We usually have the same waiter since we come around the same time/day every time, and he's always great. They also always have a great selection of beers on tap, today they had three different West Coast IPAs and I felt like a kid in a candy store... yum! Normally when writing a review I can come up with some sort of complaint to balance things out, but not really in this case. I mean, I could whine that the burger is $40, but no one is forcing me to buy it (except for my wife). All in all, I think this is one of the best places in Irvine to have a pint of beer and a good meal.
