The tater tots were divine! They were hot, tender and crispy. One bite and I heard angels singing. There are other things on the menu, including an incredibly extravagant burger. There's something for everyone. Melanie, our server, made everything even better, and I didn't think that was possible. Melanie was friendly, helpful, patient, kind, and had a smile as bright as the California sun. Her suggestions were insightful, and, had we been braver, would've followed her recommendations. Instead, we had fantastic classic burgers and were richly rewarded. Yelpers love The Cut and I can see why. If you want a great burger, come here!

The atmosphere is perfect if you're looking for a spot with delicious food and a relaxed, casual vibe. The service was excellent--specifically Natalie, who was incredibly helpful. I asked her for her take on the Miso Burger, and her description was spot on and helped me decide it was exactly what I was looking for. We did have a bit of a wait for the food, but honestly, it was expected given what we ordered, and the quality made it well worth it. Also, don't sleep on the Meyer Lemon Aioli; it was the perfect pairing with the fries. Definitely a solid go-to for a casual meal

It is always a pleasure to support local businesses here in Tustin, and American Grub has certainly…read moreimpressed me in several key areas. I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable.

Hole in the Wall Burger absolutely lives up to its name. Run by a mom, dad, and son, this place is…read morepumping out pure local perfection. We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Hole in the Wall Burger in Lake Forest is one of those spots that just never misses. The burger is…read morejuicy, packed with flavor, and tastes like everything was prepped fresh and with intention. It always hits. What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

I came to this restaurant for the first time last week late on a Friday night. I was meeting my…read moreboyfriend for a late dinner and we wanted something quick and open late. This was conveniently located in the Tustin Marketplace and they were fortunately open until 11pm. Once we selected this restaurant, I downloaded their mobile app to see if they had a Rewards program, and was immediately granted a "Free French Fry" coupon. When I entered the restaurant, it was quite busy for 9pm on a Friday. I was immediately greeted by a very kind and helpful cashier (didn't catch her name but she had dark brown hair and glasses), who was very patient with me as I read the menu. She kindly notified me that I could use the free fry coupon on any of their availability options. I ordered the Magic Shroom burger, sweet potato fries, and a Oreo milkshake. The cashier then provided me with the number of the two top booth that she selected for us. At HopDoddy, the tables are assigned to the customer, even though it's a counter service restaurant. I actually preferred this method since it took the guess work out of me trying to find a suitable table :) Our food was brought out quickly with the fries being served first. They came with ketchup and an aioli sauce and I requested mustard on side. The fries were fresh and a generous portion. A great value considering they were free with the app coupon! The burger arrived, and I sadly have to admit that we were a bit disappointed. The flavor and temperature of the burger were good, but it was small compared the other restaurants serving $15 dollar burgers. The pesto sauce was the highlight of the dish. The Oreo milkshake is prepared with a custard base as compared to traditional ice cream. It was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. I prefer standard milkshakes as compared to a custard base. Overall, the staff members were friendly and our food was served quickly. The restaurant was clean and had the added benefit of being open late and being located in a central area of Tustin. That being said, the food was not memorable and I most likely wouldn't return on the basis of taste and satiety from the meal. I would return for a quick late night bite if I wanted to sit down in a restaurant instead of surrendering to the long drive thru line of a nearby, very popular fast food burger establishment (cough cough In-n-Out).

I live two blocks away and have been going here since it opened. My wife and I over the years have…read moretaken friends and family here and always enjoyed the casual atmosphere, great food and tasty beer selection. We're more into the Thunderbird (chicken) and at one time served The Continental being turkey. For some reason on several occasions my wife and I have been asked for our drivers license to verify age in the purchase of alcohol. We're grandparents and the age is obvious. At first it was a chuckle and viewed as a novelty and now it's become an annoyance so our business goes elsewhere in the market place. I can only think that an employee in the past made a bad decision so now all have to pay the price. As a business they certainly have the right to ask for id but they could also use some common sense in their decision making.....

Cheese burger construction was very similar to a In-N-Out burger, whole sliced onions, tomato patties, cheese lettuce, all the standard accoutrements you would expect. Patties are fresh and seasoned well. Great construction, I felt it was superior to other fast food burger. I can't say it's better than In-N-Out yet as consistency will be a factor but certainly a tasty burger. Chicken sandwich was tenders as the protein and looked fresh with lettuce and tomatoes. Chili fries were great with shredded cheese and smothered. Chili flavor was good but lacked some spice that a standard chili has, maybe cumin. Still a good chili fry. Overall a great experience and priced reasonably, definitely pleasantly surprised.
