Great place outside the Disney bubble, seems great for brunch or a dinner w drinks. We had the Benedict, Chicken Biscuits, Blueberry Toast Pancakes, Short Ribs. All good to great, nice portions. Smoked Pork Belly Benedict was the stand out. Lots of places to walk after from small shops to cafes. Highly recommend if in Anaheim to Orange area. read more

parking can be a little difficult if you're going at night. there's a lot but also street parking. interior is quite dark but it's the vibe there. service is fast and we liked our server. she even offered to take our photo at the end of the night the short rib is what we came for and it was so good! a little dry but the with the sauce, it was delicious. i loved the green beans. the spinach dip eggrolls were a cool twist and the beignets weren't too sweet and the lemon sauce was a nice touch read more

Been to Bosscat numerous times over the last couple years. Have loved every time I've come. The sugar barrel steak has been my go to order now, every time the steak is cooked perfectly and the mushrooms they put on the veggies are way too good. I usually order a side of the mushrooms. Wait staff and bartenders are always professional. Seen Natalie the most and she's always perfect and knows my girlfriend and I's go to drink and food orders. Thanks Natalie for being great! read more

Met here for a birthday get together. The place was nice modern and had high ceilings somit fwlt big and airy and spacious. They had a private room that you can also reserve for parties and it was devorated with sifferent thpes of alcohol and liquor and some halloween decors. Very cool! I initially reserved for 6 persons then modified to 10 but they didnt get the update so when we got there, they only had a table for 6. I told them what happened and they nicely accomodated the change and we were seated right away. That was super great!! Our group ordered individual dishes and I ordered the country fried steak with sunny side eggs and unfortunately it was very salty for me, so i took off the gravy and the breading on the steak and it was better. My friends who orderd the steak and eggs said the same thing for their steaks and same for the fries that another girl in our party ordered. The mocktail and cocktail drinks were pretty and good! The service was excellent from the host to the servers. read more

Had a reservation for 12, we were given a private room (I believe it's called "whiskey room") which made everyone feel comfortable to move around. Our server was great she was very helpful with a celiac allergy and was patient with everyone's order. The food was decent nothing special but, I do remember everyone loving the egg rolls. Overall I would say prices are very fair and the venue is good for large parties, while the food is just good enough. read more

Bosscats always puts their best foot forward. We again had a wonderful meal with friends at the great Orange location. Our meal was fresh, tender and had us wanting more. We will be coming back soon! PS the fried apple pie is amazing! read more

Returned to the Orange circle to check out bosscat Kitchen & Libations after seeing it walking from the cafe - I am so glad I did. The food was amazing. To start they had an amazing selection of starters I went with a delicious blue wedge salad crisp lettuce, a tasty not overpowering blue cheese dressing and loaded with toppings! For the main course we did Mac & Cheese and the chicken sandwich and everything about it was just phenomenal. My only gripe were the fries or potatoes wedges but this is a personal preference. The ambience of the restaurant is bustling in loud but not loud enough that you can't have a good conversation over dinner great for a casual date or a weekend dinner. The service was excellent waiters and staff constantly checking in on us. During my visit, the kitchen had ran out of a menu item, and the Manager even came by to personally apologize and find a solution in a quick and easy manner. A1 hospitality. I will be returning to Bosscat and I will be recommending to all my friends and family. read more

Ohh Noo‼ They took the Butter Burger Off the Happy Hour Menu! Guess they don't want us there anymore! It was the reason we did Happy Hour there! So Sad to see them take it away! We've been regulars since day one. Revision update, after JT's response: The 1 Star is for this menu change to the Happy Hour menu. We're still fans otherwise! read more

10/10 for ambience and service! I love the authentic vibe and character of this place! They have so many original touches which is wonderful to see. We sat at the bar for happy hour and had such friendly, attentive service. Food and drinks were decent overall, though I think there's still some room for improvement (in my opinion). That said, the service & atmosphere were wonderful and I'd definitely come back! read more

We came here for brunch, and loved the cool decor of this renovated garage spun into a restaurant. Parking was a bit tough, best of luck to you finding street parking. Servers were fast and friendly. Food was delicious and just right portion-wise. Highly recommend getting their famous beignets! Satisfies your sweet tooth to the max, especially with their lemon curd & marshmallow dip. Take advantage of their online reservations because I bet it fills up for dinner. Dinner reviews forthcoming next time I stop at Chapman. read more

Very busy place and the noise level is very high.. Everyone in the party enjoyed their meal. We tried the pork chop which was very good with the grilled onions and the girls had the poke appetizer and really enjoyed it. They said it was a bit spicy. Will come back. read more

The server, Carly, was amazing. Very attentive, prompt and thorough. The ambiance was great. It was a beautiful day and they had the garage door open with a nice breeze. We came for happy hour and they had a nice happy hour. We got the butter burger and short rib grilled cheese. They were good. The butter burger was a little on the salty side but still good. We also substituted a cheddar and Parmesan blend opposed to American cheese. We used the house black pepper sauce (homemade closest to A1) to dip the short rib grilled cheese in. It was nice and had a lot of flavor. read more

Amazing food and drinks, service was excellent even though they were very busy, our sever kept checking on us and was very helpful with our order and drinks, I enjoy the privacy of the round table as it's more secluded and away from the rest of the restaurant more quiet and reserved, drink were delicious and so were our appetizers, We had Austin Hope, an old fashion, tostadas and mushrooms fries read more

This place was a better listener than I was a communicater, waiter set drinks down as requested, but I misspoke when I said we will have two more when she's done... just not two more of these. He was great, but one of those boozy cocktails was enough. Edit: we drank the other two cocktails and they were fabulous, you can see from the picture served Neat and Strong. Food here is awesome, we ubered to the circle specifically to have drinks and eat at Bosscat, did not disappoint! read more

I love Bosscat! Perfect brunch and dinner spot, but I just hosted a company happy hour here and the private event set-up was great. Casey helped me organize this and the process was great. On the day of the event, Sherice (Cherice?) took care of our group and was the best waitress. All the food was amazing and she was so fun and attentive. We will definitely do more events in the future! read more

It's a vibe here. We just had our Christmas company party tonight (even though it's already January). I got the bar be que fish was excellent. Totally excellent.

If you're in Orange County and heading to Boss Cat Kitchen for a Sunday Funday brunch, ask for Haley. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and knows exactly how to create a fun, relaxed Sunday atmosphere. Her Blessed Bloody Marys are amazing, and she consistently gets your order right while checking in at the perfect times. The bar is truly top tier, and the food is always delicious because the kitchen clearly cares about quality. Boss Cat Kitchen is already a great spot, but having Haley as your server makes the experience even better. read more

You HAVE to eat here!!! Amazing food, killer vibe, and exceptional service. The food is upscale southern cuisine. They offer classic southern dishes like shrimp and grits, fried chicken over dirty rice, decadent mac and cheese, white fish over mushroom risotto, burgers, short ribs, and more, but it's elevated and modern. All four of us loved our dishes. It's a whiskey bar so their signature drinks are whiskey based, and they have a full bar too. The decor is modern rustic, with whiskey bottles inside gold bird cages, and they have large booth seating with moody lighting. If you're familiar with the area, you know this location used to be the iconic Rod's Liquor Store in the Orange Circle. Bosscat pays homage to Rod's throughout the restaurant with subtle touches. They have a "Rod's" neon sign above the bar, and they have original "Ice" and "Beer" signs from Rod's on select walls. It makes it feel like a part of their story, which is really nice. The service was amazing. Our server asked the bartender for the least acidic wine for me, she asked the chef if the chicken sausage was sweet for my husband, and she brought extra plates for the kids because she overheard them talking about sharing. We finished our meal with beignets and they were beyond delicious. 5 came in an order, nice and warm, and were served with a side of lemon curd with melted marshmallow. Obsessed. We will be back again and again. Sad to see Rod's go. But so excited Bosscat took its place. read more

This is on the service mainly. Server says you want water? I said yes. Brings bottled water priced at 5 dollars. Whatever I paid it but that's pretty sneaky and unscrupulous to make an additional 5 bucks. Food is nothing to write home about. Overpriced but all brunch/breakfast is these days I guess. read more

My husband and I had a fantastic brunch here today. I had the short rib chilaquiles, he had the chicken and waffle sandwich, and we shared the beignets with lemon curd and marshmallow cream at the end. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our server was friendly and attentive. They also offer a brunch cocktail menu for those interested. We ate inside because it was cooler than the covered front patio. We parked about 2 blocks away at a free, covered parking garage at the next stoplight past Olive street. A great experience overall. read more

Casey and the private events team were amazing to work with! This is my team's second time working with Bosscat, and I'm always delighted by how straight-forward and timely they are in the planning side and onsite.

Was really excited about this place because there were so many gluten free options. I really enjoyed the apps. I particularly enjoyed the chicken and cheese dip, anything to have chips! The waitress was super lovely and even went the extra mile to make sure my partners birthday was special. The location itself is super fun and upbeat. I'd say it's prob not the place you want to go to have an intimate conversation but definitely the place to go for a fun night out. read more

Had dinner here with my husband. Food and drinks were amazing. We had the spinach and artichoke egg rolls as our starters, then the fried chicken sandwich and the shaved pork chop sandwich as our entrees. The food was mouthwatering good. The pretzel buns for our sandwiches were soft and delicious. For our drinks we had the Bosscat and The Good Life. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and our food and drinks came out quickly. The atmosphere gave a speakeasy rustic vibe. It was cute and cool. Highly recommend trying out this place. read more

We ate already planning to go back and try other items in the menu. read more

My boyfriend and I came in around 7pm and it was quite lively. From only looking in I wouldn't have thought how big the restaurant was, the decor was cool. The service was great, just wished the waitress didn't clear our table so fast. She cleared my boyfriends plate when he had been saving me his fries. The food was honestly nothing special it was good but nothing very memorable. The nighthawk was good ! read more

Loved this place ! First impression was awesome due to service . We had Meghan. She was outstanding ! Over and beyond . Hard to find waitress or an employee today that provides world class service . She explained the menu well. We went with the popular - short ribs and short rib tostada as an appetizer . I had the cheesecake . Yummy ! Husband at the apple dessert . Since visiting this location I tried to Irvine it was also good but they needed a Meghan ! Kudos Megan for great service . read more

A lot of people recommended this spot to me and I can't believe it took me so long to try it! It's a really cool place and in the evenings, it can get really dark and moody inside. I was pleasantly surprised to see a great menu of mocktails and I ordered the I'm the Driver, which I really enjoyed. For dinner, I got the Burrata and bacon jam, a great combo of flavors. My server had recommended it and I really loved it. Then, I got the banana pudding for dessert, which was phenomenal. This place lives up to the hype! read more

The food here is not good at all. Love the place. Decor is great. Great service. Pork belly was awful. Salad was awful.

Absolutely the best service and good! The ribeye and salmon is to die for but the best part was Timmy and his custom made old fashioned and amazing service. I've never had a better old fashioned in my life! He even switches out the liquor and will Taylor it to your pallet. 10 out of 10! read more

We've been coming to Bosscat in Orange regularly since it opened, typically about once every month. It's a really nice atmosphere with a great service team and excellent food. A special shout-out goes to our favorite server, Charisse ! I was hooked from the first visit, when I tried one of the menu staples, Brick Chicken with Cajun Dirty Rice. It's by far my favorite entree - the dirty rice is really the star for me! I probably order it about half the time. Sadly, my fave was eliminated in an update to the menu a couple of months ago . VERY disappointed in that decision. This is a shameless appeal to the executive chef and management team: PLEASE BRING BACK THAT ENTREE!! read more
