The Cut

Do you guys still have happy hour?

Do they do like a birthday slice or something similar like that if we ask? I'm going with someone for their birthday & wondering if they do that, because I know many places do, but many don't :).

Their dessert items are limited to a corn cookie vanilla ice cream sandwich and tres leches bread pudding.

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.

At 7:25 pm, they brought us in and did not have a table ready for us. They made a table then after a table left 15 minutes later, they rearranged us. I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.

The katsu was so crispy, and the chicken katsu was still juicy and tender in the middle. I love that you can add a 4 piece California roll or curry to make it a combo. Service was fast and quick, with our server checking in for more water or if there was anything else we needed. The only downside is the wait, especially for Sunday lunch.

Alright, it's time to give The Cut in Irvine its well-deserved flowers! This place is a meat lover's paradise, and I'm here to tell you why. I hit up this gem a few times now and it's been a flavor-packed adventure each time I've been. First up, the Cut! Their Signature Grass Fed Beef Patty --a masterpiece made from chuck, short rib, beef rib, and ribeye, all ground fresh and served on a handmade, baked-daily potato bun sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. This bad boy is cooked medium rare (don't even think about asking the owner or chef for ketchup--they'll probably ban you!), and it's a juicy, tender dream. Never mind that's it's a 60 day (yes, SIXTY DAY) Dry Aged Rib Eye Patty, but it's also topped with a 2-year-aged white cheddar that melts into every bite, it's rich, savory, and oh-so-satisfying. The bun? Soft yet sturdy, holding all that goodness together like a champ. Then there's the Savory --a burger that's clearly one of the stars that put The Cut on the map. It's loaded with bacon relish that adds a smoky, sweet crunch, Swiss cheese for that nutty melt, and a double whammy of aioli and 3000 Island sauce that bring creamy, tangy perfection. Every bite is a flavor explosion--unbelievable and worth every second of the hype! If that wasn't enough, I dove into the Double Smashburger--signature grass-fed chuck and rib blend patties, smashed to crispy-edged perfection, with American cheese, pickles, onions, and more of that addictive 3K sauce. This beast rivals any smashburger in LA or OC (and trust me, I've tried a ton), landing it right at the top of my list. The patties are juicy, the cheese oozes just right, and the toppings add that perfect zing. But wait--dessert stole the show! The Sticky Date Pudding with a scoop of vanilla toffee ice cream, butterscotch, and candied walnuts is heavenly. It's warm, gooey, and sweet with a nutty crunch, paired with creamy ice cream that melts into every bite. If you're with someone, order two--trust me, you'll fight over the last spoonful otherwise. It's hands-down one of the best desserts I've ever had. The Cut isn't just a burger joint; it's an experience. The food is top-tier, the vibe is fire, and the staff knows their craft. If you're in Irvine, run--don't walk--to this place. Bring your appetite and skip the ketchup. You won't regret it! read more

I have been wanting to try The Cut for some time now. I heard about their famous burgers a while back when their food truck was gaining notoriety for their award winning hamburgers. Now that they have a brick and mortar location, it is much easier way to try their menu. Met up with some friends here. It is located in a shopping center in Irvine off of Alton that houses Rite Aid and Olive Garden. The place is on the smaller side with tables inside and outdoor patio dining, also. We grabbed a table and starting ordering. They have rotating beer on tap and a nice bar menu here to include beer, wine and cocktails. I opted for their Grape Soda cocktail. Man, this thing was deceptively boozy but good stuff if you enjoy grade soda, as it tasted just like that. It was made of Concord Grape, Soju, Lime & house-made Orange Liqueur. We ordered Cheesy Tots and Poutine to start. The tots were tasty but the Poutine, was my fave of our starters. With braised brisket, smoked mozzarella, cilantro and chimichurri atop fries these things were so awesome. They could a meal in itself as they are quite filling. When checking out the burgers and sandwiches, I did a little happy dance as I was thrilled to see they offered a side of roasted bone marrow with their entrees. I absolutely love bone marrow and it is so hard to find. For $4, I could get a side with one of their entrees here. YAY! Little things like this make Kelley happy! The burgers here are "made with all-natural, certified humane and free-range meats that are also hormone- and antibiotic-free." I opted for the Brie and Truffle Aioli Burger. This burger had truffle aioli, Brie, Pickled Onions and Honey. Of course, I ordered a side of bone marrow with this and put this on top of my burger, also. Yum! Several people attended to us. The staff here are friendly, helpful and attentive. Glad that The Cut has come to Irvine. Also, great that they have a full bar menu to accompany their food. Look forward to sampling more here in the future in addition to checking out their brunch. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant while browsing through Yelp for a quick dinner and wow, it was amazing! The interior looks nice and welcoming to begin with, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Since it was our first time there, we got a quick tour of the menu from the server and after a while we ended up deciding what we wanted. We ordered the Savory burger and the Nashville Chicken Sandwich, along with some wings to split and wow, they were all delicious. The Savory was definitely savory to the max and it looked so appetizing from the way it looks. The Swiss cheese really hits the spot with the patty and the bacon. The meat was tender and the buns were nice, not hard nor soggy. The chicken sandwich was a little too spicy for my liking, but was still good nevertheless. There was a lot of kick to the sandwich and from the way it looks, it just looks so daring and hot. The chicken was nice and juicy, packed with spice on the crispy skin outside. The wings were super delicious as it is glazed with ranch and sriracha I believe. Not only that, but it came with 8 pieces which is super awesome for the value. Definitely coming back here again if I'm ever in Irvine! Awesome burger and sandwich spot for the value. read more

To the owner, I am writing in response to your comments on my original review. I would like to formally request a refund for what was a highly unsatisfactory and, frankly, concerning experience at your establishment. Receiving a beverage contaminated with soap is not only unacceptable but potentially hazardous. When I brought this issue to the attention of the waitress, she displayed little interest and failed to offer an apology even after the beverage was returned. This lack of concern for basic food safety and customer service is troubling. Additionally, the food we ordered was subpar, with bland flavors and poor quality. Despite my attempts to communicate my dissatisfaction with the waitress, the issues were disregarded. We left over 85% of our meal uneaten, as it was simply inedible. I do not object to paying for quality food and good service, but being charged for a soapy beverage, combined with the lack of attention to customer concerns and lackluster food, is entirely unacceptable. I trust you will understand the gravity of this situation and process a refund for this deeply disappointing experience. read more

I was brand new to this place and learned about their history with their burger truck. I had no idea! Their food is phenomenal. This is a type of burger youve never had, their quality and flavors blew me away. We started with the Croquettes and the Cheesy Tots... Man I don't don't know what they do to this but that cheese sauce is out of this world. I had The Colombian burger and my brother the Grand Cut. You'd never imagine roasted bananas in a burger work, but, yes they do! The Grand Cut is seriously majestic with braised pork.. A sweet bacon jam and a cheese fondue. We also had their Corn Cookie Ice cream sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Their cocktails are amazing as well. We tried their Mojito, which is easily the best one I've ever had. The Clementhyme was bright, citrusy, earthy and delicious, perfect for a warm sunny day like today. These guys are crazy good at what they do. Can't wait to come back! read more

Was fortunate enough to be invited to their pre-opening media event and OOOOH MAAAAN! As soon as I walked in I was blown away by how amazing this place looks!! Every single element of decor and design just looks so good. Because the nature of the event, I got to try so many different things! WOOOO HOOOO! It's sooo bomb, ALL of it. I tried so hard to single out at least one dish that I could say wasn't good, but honestly, I can't. If I had to lay out an ideal meal: Croquettes then any Burger that you want and finish off with their Corn Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich! Though any combination will really impress! Their drinks: amazing craft beer selection, a variety of wines and what sounded like a nice cocktail selection which are also craft made in house (not much feedback as I don't do wine or cocktails) Overall: I think this is THE best dining experiences I've ever had! I will be a regular for sure! read more

I had an amazing 5-star experience at The Cut! The burgers were absolutely delicious and the food was just decadent. The patty was tender and packed with lots of flavor, and even though the prices are similar to Umami Burger, you actually get more burger here and same wow factor. I tried the original burger, savory burger, blue burger, and classy burger, but my favorite was the original. It's a straightforward burger without any extras, but it's done to perfection with all the typical burger toppings. Although the other burgers were also good, I prefer my burgers to be traditional. The service was excellent too! We sat at the bar and chatted with the owner for about 30 minutes, which made the overall experience even better. If you're looking for a premium burger joint that's worth the price, The Cut is definitely worth a visit. read more

POV: you just found your new burger spot. The Cut Handcrafted Burgers seriously blew me away. Everything from start to finish was a 10/10 experience. I tried the pineapple passion fruit mule and it was insanely good -- super refreshing, not too sweet, and honestly the perfect drink to pair with a burger. Then came the double smash burger... absolutely unreal. Perfectly cooked, juicy, crispy edges, and stacked just right so every bite had that perfect ratio of everything. No notes. And the fries with ranch? So simple but done perfectly. Crispy, hot, and the ranch actually tastes homemade, which made it even better. Overall, this place just gets it. Great food, great vibe, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Definitely my new go-to burger spot. read more

Ok so I'm born and raised in Southern California. Yes, folk's I'm a native. What I don't understand is putting french fries on "anything" and referring to it as Californian. Avocado maybe but not fries. That being said I love the California burrito. I just order it sans fries..... Another poster said it correctly. This place is always around when you need it. The food never disappoints. When I'm not ordering the California burrito it's the fish taco's and ALWAYS the taquitos. BF goes with the enchiladas and chili relleno.

Went the other day to give this place a try. Wanted to love it but just could not. My "bougie bird" crispy chicken sandwich was basic. The Parmesan and fennel was not a good combination. The marriage of flavors was contradictory and off putting. I opted for a side of fries (not a penny pincher, but $8 for a side of fries...ummm). The service was just ok, the decor rustic modern with a hint of industrial. The concept has the bones to be something great but they are missing the mark.

So... I came to this place then went to Plan Check in LA. Comparing the two burgers, I prefer Bunz burger. The service is so friendly. Food takes a long time but only means your food is fresh and hot. The patty is so thick but maybe I'm comparing that to in n outs burgers? Their fries are crispy and has a light seasoning on it. Not the typical just salt but an actual seasoning. My husband gets the pastrami burger, and the pastrami is so light on the salt that it doesn't take away from the taste of the burger patty. read more

I got the Nashville Chicken (which was incredible) and my man got the Sweet and Spicy Burger - he said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. Let me say that the wait was not long at all and we got our food fairly quickly. Honestly this was a nice little stop for us during our busy weekend and we actually plan on coming back to grab some food and a drink when we are in the area! read more

Do yourself and don't get the double because although it looks amazing, having double breast meat ruins the ratio of bread to meat/sauce. Flavor is good and fairly hot, but not worse than most people can handle. The brisket is super tasty, but I wish they seared the meat before braising. It needs that added flavor and texture, though it t is still good, overall. We all thought their service was great and we all enjoyed dining there. Will definitely be back! read more

Tried the Sweet and Spicy burger today and it was phenomenal! Like the name, it delivers the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and savory all at once. A little bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth trying for the experience! Also tried the Garlic and Rosemary fries and loved them. The flavor from the garlic was delicious and the aroma of the rosemary paired well with it. I am a sucker for fries and this one was definitely one of my favorites. read more

This burger has consistently proven to be the best in Orange County, and I can't emphasize that enough. Every time I sink my teeth into it, it's an explosion of flavor and satisfaction. In particular, the smash burger you can savor during their 2-4pm "The Mid" hours is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It transports me back to those carefree days of being a kid by the pool, with each bite invoking a sense of pure joy and summertime bliss. read more

This place is AWESOME! Great atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. When I think Burger I normally stick with my old habit of In n out, but the burgers here are amazing. I tried one of their signature burgers called "The Grand Cut" and It was by far the best burger I have ever had in my life no joke. The fondue cheese makes every bite taste like a bite of heaven in your mouth. I will definitely be coming back to try this place out! read more

The hot honey was my favorite, the perfect mix of sweet with a little kick. The Nashville sandwich was also so good with a bold, flavorful heat that will definitely satisfy any spicy lover. We tried both the Standard (4 oz on a potato bun) and the Cluck (6 oz on a brioche bun), and I'd definitely recommend upgrading to the Cluck size if you're hungry or just want the ultimate fried chicken experience, it's so worth it. The curly fries were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy with a great potato flavor. Don't skip the sauces either! The Cluck Sauce was our favorite, the tangy mustard flavor paired so well with the tenders. We'll definitely be back! Easy 10/10!! What we ordered: -Tenders (country fried, lemon pepper, hot honey) -The Nashville Sandwich (standard) -The Nashville Sandwich (cluck size) -Curly Fries -Cluck Sauce, Comeback Sauce, Ranch

The service was fast, as my order was completed before the expected time and all the staff was nice from the quick interaction. I ordered a nashville hot cluck size sandwich, a standard size cluck sandwhich combo, corn fritters, and CBR loaded fries. Everything was hot and smelled amazing from the bag, and even better once I opened it. The nashville cluck was in the more expensive side for a single sandwich but the flavor and heat was really worth it. I have been craving a hot chicken sandwich for a while now and this was the best I've had in the area. It combined both a hot heat and excellent flavor. The cluck sandwich was very standard but very good at the same time. Again on the more expensive side for a single sandwich but it was well made, the patty was crispy and flavorful. The CBR fries were on the softer side, and the most expensive singluar item I ordered. The flavor itself was delicious, nothing overbearing in terms of flavor as all the toppings blended well together. The corn fritters were amazing, the fritter was crispy, the elote flavor was there, and the bits of corn were a nice touch. Overall Cluck is a really good option, the flavors were all there and I will be back to try some of the other options

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. You'll actually have a shot at a spot.

I was extremely excited to try the (now discontinued) dinner menu at Le Hut Dinette. I was honestly…read moreunderwhelmed. 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 ambience is easy going, but with a large groups there is only one main option to seat due to cemented/pre-arranged seats. Blankets and heat lamps are provided for the evening just in case. Always a treat to either return and eat in person or to pickup to go. Burritos are also a great option from Taco Mesita!
