Apola Greek Grill

I am bummed to find out that they closed. I used to eat here daily for years. The Greek breakfast…read moreburrito was my favorite.

Bottom Line Up Front: If you like Greek food but don't want…read moreto pay big bucks at an traditional sit-down restaurant, Apola can be your yummy, budget-friendly alternative. The Food: Let me start by saying this is clearly an American take on Greek food, so if you're looking for super authentic food, look elsewhere. But if you're OK with a fusion, Apola will satisfy your Mediterranean craving. There are gyros (pita wraps), bowls, combo plates, and burritos (see, there's that American take I was talking about). All of them range in quality from average to really good. Though I've been here several times, I'll focus on my last visit when we got "the Works" pita wrap and a Greek salad bowl. For the Works, it comes with all the fixings, your choice of protein, and fries stuffed inside (yes, inside, not as a side). I chose beef-and-lamb gyro meat, which came in a huge portion. (Pro Tip: I pulled the fries out and got a "free" side. Of course , there's not a lot of fries, but enough to satisfy my fried food craving.) The gyro was big and tasty. For the Greek salad bowl, we also got beef-and-lamb gyro meat. Once again, they hooked it up with the quantity. Nice! The ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, feta, etc) were all fresh and seasoned nicely. Side note: I do find it odd that they call this dish a salad bowl when it comes in a rectangular plastic tray. But semantics aside, it was quite good. I also ordered a fountain drink and got a Coke. It was nice a crisp with a lot of carbonation. Just the way I like it. It's not as good as the exclusive Coke blend at McDonald's, but was a close second. I have had some pretty watered down Cokes at other places in recent years. The Service: There were two young gentlemen working the last time I visited, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. They even brought our meals to our table, which was a nice touch for a fast food establishment. The Setting: It's located inside the recently revamped Yorba Linda Downtown, which has revitalized the area and made it a pleasant place to hang out. Unfortunately, on weekends, it's hard to find parking sometimes. Fortunately we came on a weekday and got parking nearby. Inside, Apola is clean and tidy with roughly enough tables and chairs for a variety of party sizes. The Conclusion: Apola offers good Mediterranean-inspired food for a reasonable price (compared to other restaurants these days) -- just don't expect it to be 100% authentic Greek food. It's not perfect and not super cheap, but with the right expectations set, I plan to return on semi-regular basis.

Very skimpy on toppings. (I ordered sauce on the side.)

Good flavor but meat was so thin that it was already cold and dry.

Long story short - this is an actual Japanese grocery store - not just by name, but by products and by smell :). The staff leave a lot to be desired in terms of interaction and customer service, but that seems to be standard with many foreign inspired grocery stores. This may be their original location, because it does seem quite old and dated, but you'll enjoy your time regardless if you're into Japanese things. p.s. after 7pm, fresh sushi is 20% off and it goes quick.

I love everything about it! Now let's talk about the pastrami! It's not too thick, not too heavy, and the bread is SUPER soft! It's even good the next day! If you're someone who doesn't like really greasy pastrami and prefers a lighter taste, this is definitely the place for you! I asked for extra mayonnaise and mustard and provolone cheese, my sandwich was made to perfection! I honestly couldn't think of one thing they could do to make it better. And let's talk about the price, It's definitely worth the money! I wouldn't necessarily call it expensive because when you're getting something good, you can't always expect it to be cheap. What I will say is that their pastrami sandwiches are QUALITY! You can taste the difference, and to me, it's worth every penny! The restaurant was super clean, and the employees were so kind and welcoming. Great customer service really makes a difference, and they definitely delivered! I haven't tried the chili cheese fries yet, but that's next on my list! My only complaint is that I wish we had a location in Long Beach!

We went with the chili cheese dog, pastrami, and a large onion rings. First of all... LARGE MEANS LARGE HERE. The amount of onion rings they gave us was absolutely insane for two people. We barely made a dent in them. Small order next time! The pastrami was piled high, the chili cheese dog was loaded, and everything had that classic no-frills comfort-food feel to it. Also, honorable mention to the RANCH. When the ranch is good, it deserves recognition. The atmosphere completes the experience too. It has that classic old-school sandwich shop vibe that feels like it hasn't needed to change because it already knows exactly what it is. Good food, fast service, massive portions. Definitely coming back, just ordering the SMALL onion rings next time.

The restaurant has plenty of inside seating and a very nice covered patio area for outdoor dining. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready. All of the employees we interacted with today were all friendly and helpful. The menu has SO many delicious sounding choices that I will have to make several return visits to try them all! But for today I chose their prosciutto & chicken panini. The sandwich was perfectly pressed and generously filled with carved chicken and all sorts of yummy goodness. This particular dish also had honey roasted almonds sprinkled inside, giving it a very surprisingly nice added crunch. I've been to all the other restaurants in this shopping center and Mendocino Farms is by far the BEST of them all. I've already made plans to come back next week :)

I had a board retreat that was supposed to be catered by Mendocino Farms, but due to an error, our catering order was never placed. With a room full of people expecting lunch and little time to find a solution, I called the restaurant hoping they could help. Jordan immediately went into problem-solving mode. She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager. Although they didn't have the necessary catering supplies, Jordan worked with me to find another option: individual sandwich and salad orders. The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it. Everyone enjoyed lunch, and what could have been a major issue became a success. I'll continue coming back for my own meals, and Mendocino Farms Brea will be at the top of my list for future events. Great food earns return visits; service like this earns loyalty. Thank you to Jordan and the entire team for coming through when we needed it. An easy five stars.

Del Taco is just outstanding! This location does it as good as any of them. The prices are excellent! The food is phenomenol! I have heard that they make their beans daily without lard. This is rare. They are actually healthier than other Mexican fast food chains as a result. I personally prefer the half pound red burrito and the spicy jack quesadilla. The1/2 lb red burrito is only $0.99 and is a lot of food. Sometimes that will be my lunch. It's cheaper than eating at home, faster and usually tastes better! read more

It only took me five minutes to get to the store, so I did not expect my sandwich to be ready immediately. I checked in at the counter and was told they were still working on my order, no problem. They were not very busy, and were staffed with four employees that I could see. As I waited for over ten minutes, three different customers walked in, had their sandwiches made, and left. Maybe they had a flood of app orders, but at times there were one or two staff members in front doing nothing while I was the only one in the store. After almost fifteen minutes of waiting at the store, my sandwich was finally ready. The employee apologized for the wait, but it was frustrating to see several other customers come and go while I waited when I thought I was saving time by using the app and ordering ahead. My order was a regular size roast beef and provolone on wheat made Mike's way. ($11.95). I had planned to eat half now, and half later but the sandwich was on the smaller side so I just ate the whole thing. I would prefer a larger regular size sandwich for a few more dollars. The only other option is the giant size at $19.95. The sandwich was also a little bland, and it seemed like I tasted more lettuce than meat and cheese. More salt and pepper would have gone a long way. I love their Big Kahuna sandwich, but the roast beef and provolone sandwich and wait time today missed the mark.
