    Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Aggs M.

    Came here for dinner with my wife and mother-in-law. It's a solid casual spot, though it's worth noting it's definitely more of a laid-back family/joint vibe rather than a high-end, fine-dining steakhouse. We started with some drinks and apps for the table. The classic Roma Rita was hitting the spot, and you can't really go wrong with their famous onion loaf--super crispy. The spinach dip and chips were also a crowd-pleaser and a great starter to share. For my main, I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and a rack of their ribs. The ribs had great flavor and were nice and tender, and the sandwich had a solid kick to it. Overall, everything was good and the meal was totally satisfying. It's well worth a try if you're in the area and looking for a casual, hearty dinner. I'd recommend checking it out!

    We celebrated our friend's birthday at the Disney parks and decided to take a break for dinner nearby. We walked across the street and were pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was less crowded than dining inside the park, which made for a much more relaxing experience. Our waitress, Consuelo, was absolutely wonderful. She mentioned she has been working there for over 25 years, and her warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness truly reflected her experience. She made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived, and the service throughout the evening was exceptional. The food came out quickly, both appetizers and main courses, and everything was delicious. The ribs were especially outstanding -- tender, flavorful, and served in very generous portions. After we finished our meal, Consuelo surprised us with a celebratory ice cream for the table to share, which was such a kind and personal touch to celebrate the birthday girl. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with excellent food, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit the Disney parks!

    Buffalo Chicken Wings
    Leslie T.

    The perfect location to dine at! They have a beautiful outdoor patio to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Disney/Anaheim magic. During this particular visit, they had a Happy Hour menu ON A SUNDAY! The Buffalo Wings were nothing short of amazing and flavorful. The overall service was great and will definitely return, soon!

    The onion loaf tower was crispy all the way through, easy to pull apart, and seasoned well. It was kind of too greasy for me, but it still tasted great. The ribs were tender, smoky, and sauced just right. Of course if you want more sauce, which I always do. They offer free parking in the back, which is so convenient if you need a quick spot to eat after a full day at Disneyland, which is right across the street

    RIGHT ACROSS from DISNEYLAND!! Tony Roma's -- the world-famous "Place for Ribs" since 1972!! These Baby Back Ribs are insane -- tender, smoky, and fall-off-the-bone good! Weekday Special (Tues-Fri): Half Slab + Fries + Coleslaw for just $19.99!! Such a steal! Start with their crispy Onion Loaf, grab some fluffy, soft bread (upon request) then dig into the 12 oz Sizzling Ribeye with grilled onions, portobello mushrooms, a baked potato and asparagus. The steak could have been cooked better, a little too rare. Their Steakhouse Burger that comes with bacon and fries. Don't skip dessert -- the Colossal Cheesecake with strawberry sauce is a MUST! Steps from Downtown Disney -- perfect for a pre- or post-park feast!! It can get quite noisy.

    It's been a while since I visited this place and it's still as good as I remembered it to be. The ribs are delicious, not overly smothered in sauce. Onion loaf isn't too oily and for me it's a must order item whenever I come here. Anaheim punch is so very good and they are very generous with the amount of rum in it. We appreciate our host for this eve, Ben, who gave us impeccable service from the moment we were seated at our table and until we left. Ambiance is nice and calm, we've enjoyed our dinner here tonight.

    The place was clean and nice with average furniture. Overall, it's a great place to eat. Great atmosphere, good menu and friendly staff. The food was fantastic and there was a great variety to choose from.

    Favorite onion loaf
    Eric F.

    I remember growing up on Tony romas and taking my kids here also and now only a few locations are left in ca. the ribs still have the same awesome flavor I remember and the onion stack is still the best appetizer / side dish here to me. I'd still put them up above many of the other bbq rib chains but maybe I'm a bit partial due to all the memories we have had here. Either way it was another great experience and hope to be back soon.

    $16 for this. Not bad. Cadillac

    This business says that they have outdoor seating--does it really? i've been to this location in the past but don't recall seeing an outdoor area.

    There is an outdoor area but when I was there it was cleared of seating. I believe at one point in time it was used but not when I was there (Feb '24).

    How is the parking? Valet after certain hours or free?

    Is there a happy hout?

    Yes and he hears a "Who" and saves "Whoville"... On a less serious note; As I recall there were specials at certain times but consider the location the place is always busy…

Looks like I was late to the game because they have been famous with articles from Eaters Magazine LA and The New York Times about Chef Winnie Yee, the Pit Madam. I think this is a new location they expanded to in the Cottage Industries newly developed area in Garden Grove. There is a small private lot off 9th street, but it's usually full, so you can find additional parking off 8th or 7th street nearby. I was helped by Swarna and she was so friendly, courteous and helpful. My boyfriend and I wanted to try a little bit of everything so we ordered 1/2 lb Brisket ($19), 1/2 lb Siu Yuk ($16), 1 Green Curry Sausage ($9), Mac and Cheese ($8), Tallow Fries ($8), and a Regular Fountain Drink ($3.50). We took the food togo, but everything tastes fresh and delicious. It did not affect the quality of the food. The one feedback I would like to give the restaurant is that it seems a bit stingy to only give us only one of each sauce when we ordered 3 meats. I didn't see this until we got home or I would have asked for more. It's hard to say which one was my favorite because both the brisket and the siu yuk were good. It was not only the flavor but the quality of the protein. The green sausage was a really nice fusion execution of a traditional American barbecue item. The sides were less exciting. I ate them and they were average but I don't feel like they live up to how great the proteins were. I would definitely order different sides the next time I come back. A great execution from Chef Winnie's Asian background in perfect harmony with American barbecue. I'll definitely be back!

It was plenty of food, more than enough for all of us and pretty affordable I'd say for barbecue. My favorite meat would probably be the crispy pork or brisket. Best side was the sesame slaw, fresh and helps cut the fats from all the meat. The cornbread was a tad dry but the butter helped out. Fries were also just alright, would've chosen something else. Also really like the outdoor seating idea but realistically, during summer... the flies and the heat are unbearable. Wished there was an indoor option.

After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to our table to take care of us. Although our server seemed to be trying his best, the overall service still fell far below expectations. Rarely checked on us throughout the meal, our grill was changed once, and never came by to offer drink refills. The food quality has also gone downhill. The rice cup portions are drastically smaller than they used to be, and the meat quality was poor. It feels like the restaurant's overall operation and standards have really declined. For the price, this experience was unacceptable, and unfortunately we won't be returning. I don't recommend it at all!!!!!!

    * Who: partner & I * What: random late lunch…read more* When: Saturday a little past noon * Why: hungry after apartment touring * Space/Decor: in a small plaza that had plenty of parking when we arrived. Average space in the sense it's rectangular & like any mom/pop hole in the wall. You step in, tables to your right going all the way back, & left front side has cash register, sweets display, & water dispenser while the rest of the left was the kitchen. Menu was straightforward but could benefit from having a description in case you're not familiar (like my BF). * Service: the reason I'm docking by 1 star. The lady was nice, but not very attentive, & it wasn't like it was busy. We needed to ask or follow up on 2-3 things. My BF was eyeing some dessert when we were first ordering but she didn't try to sell it to us ‍ * Food: surprisingly good as it was both our first time there. He got the adobo bowl & the chicken was tender/juicy & pretty much fell off the bone. I got the tocino plate & the meat was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic in the rice. We also got one chicken skewer & one pork skewer, which was a bit smaller than I'm used to but the smoky flavor & tenderness was spot on. My only issue was the portion compared to the price. * Final Thoughts: mom/pop Filipino food that is great on flavor but leaves something to be desired with customer service. Would recommend & will return again for the food. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10
