First time coming here after my original breakfast spot was extremely busy--and I'm honestly so…read moreglad it worked out this way. I had seen Dalton Cafe on Yelp and noticed they're known for their homemade muffins and omelettes, and they absolutely did not disappoint. I tried the pumpkin and cream cheese muffins, and wow--warm, moist, and incredibly comforting, easily some of the best muffins I've had in a long time. For my main, I ordered the Dalton omelette, which was everything and more--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and super filling. The hash browns were a standout, tasting like mashed potatoes but crisped up into hash brown form (in the best way possible). It's been a while since a breakfast truly wowed me, and this one definitely did. The ambiance really added to the experience--cozy and comforting, especially being seated by the window facing outside. The Christmas decorations and holiday music were the perfect finishing touch and set the vibe perfectly. Definitely looking forward to coming back. This spot is a gem for a proper breakfast.

It took me a second to realize he probably said that because it was during the height of the ICE raid unrest happening nearby. I've been coming here for over 20 years, and the service and food quality have always been consistently solid. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots that never really lets you down. Keep up the great work, Paul's Place!

This is not any place you want to go to…read more This has to be one of the worst fish taco plates I've ever had. Soggy fried who knows what kind of cheap fish tacos smothered in a spicy sauce with watered down beans and weird rice. I was starving so I ate most of the rice which tasted like a mixture of rice r roni with raw cucumbers which was very odd. They had partially cooked carrots mixed in as well. The beans were a mess, just horrible all around. Like something you'd see in a toilet. My friends each got French toast which was lukewarm and the bread was chewy and the bottoms were burned. 2 stars because the service was friendly and the restaurant was empty and clean. Paul's place isn't a place I'd return.

It was busy but there was room at the bar top so we sat there. He ordered the pulled pork sandwich that had Mac n cheese and onion straws in it. And garlic fries for the add. What a flavor bomb! The bread was toasty and the Manx n cheese paired nicely with the sweet and savory pork. The onion straws were perfect for texture. Very good very rich, we should've opted for slaw on the side, but the fries were delicious. I had the grilled cheese and homemade tomato basil bisque soup. That was so darn delicious! The soup is VERY mild in flavor but nice. The cheese to bread ratio was spot on, the bread was toasted perfectly. I ate it by both dipping in the soup and on their own. Served was very nice but she was busy! Great experience. Will return!

So I've finally had the chance to sit down and enjoy a meal here and I was utterly blown away at…read morehow delicious everything I ordered was. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger on sourdough with onion rings and an Arnold Palmer (more lemonade than tea). God, the service from my server Sarah was amazing too. The overall ambience and atmosphere knocked me off my socks too. Absolutely shocked how juicy the burger was, then again I did order it medium rare. The highlight of my meal were the onion rings. I had the feeling that they were double battered, breaded, and then fried. Felt like I died and went to heaven as I ate those onion rings. The food gets 5 stars Onto the most important highlight of my experience eating here, my wonderful and amazing server, Sarah. She was awesome and gave me a full rundown of all of the sides, sauces, cheeses that could come with my burger. Loved her warm attitude and running commentary as I ordered. Knowing that she loved the Arnold Palmer and bacon cheeseburger with onion rings made me feel like I made the right choice. Pretty cool to have a server with similar tastes in food. Also, she helped move my walker out of the way so it wouldn't block the flow of foot traffic. Kudos to her for that too. She'll probably be my favorite member of the wait staff if I ever come back for lunch again. Overall, a sweet girl with the right attitude. 5 stars for her amazing service. Finally, the overall appearance and ambience of the restaurant made me feel like I stepped back into my childhood in the 2000s. Timeless decor and comfortable seating along with it being busy during lunch with regulars made me appreciate this place even more. The wait for my food wasn't terrible considering it was the lunch rush. If anything the time it took made everything taste better. The overall ambience and vibe of the place gets 5 stars as well. Los Alamitos definitely has some amazing restaurants and this place is an absolute gem. I'm definitely coming back.

Our glasses were kept full and they were attentive whenever we needed anything. The ambiance was clean and welcoming, with lots of televisions on with various sports on which was nice. The food was... ok... Some mistakes made on the orders, and a few in the party just weren't pleased with their orders - in particular with the fish and chips, they both said it seemed like it was frozen and whipped up quick - the texture and taste was off. My order was the roast beef melt with chillies. It came with the roast beef and chilies, but then had sauerkraut and thousand island dressing, like the chef just lost track of what he was making half way through? I lived with it as we had already waited to start eating as there was an error between salad and sandwich for another order, and I was hungry and didn't want to hold things up further. Again, they were friendly and fixed the things we brought up to them, but they just seemed like there were a lot of communication issues and things not running as tightly as they should behind the scenes.

When we left there were quite a few people that have come in after us. There's not a whole lot to the place. It looks like it used to be an old Taco Bell or something. The color scheme is blue and white with cute little signs and pictures on the wall. It's got some booths and tables, and they still have up the social distancing dividers from The pandemic. There's also covered patio seating out front. There our menu screens that span above the entire counter with everything from Mexican food to breakfasts to burgers. They have a soda machine and also a machine with some aguas frescas. There is something here for everybody! We ordered a Fat Boy Burger, a quarter pound burger meal with fries, and a ground beef taco. I love ground beef tacos so I'll always order one if there's one on the menu just to try it. The burgers were good - - topped with cheese, lettuce, onion, and thousand Island dressing. The ground beef taco tasted very much like a Del Taco taco. The fries are those chunkier fries. All in all, the food was good. Someone came in after us and ordered the fried chicken meal and it looked so good, and another person ordered a breakfast that also looked pretty good. It's a cute place and I do like to support local small business. I may be back here.

What I received was essentially a regular steamed-style burger with smash-style sauce on it. There was no char, no crust, and none of the texture you would expect from a smash burger. I was very disappointed. The patty was soft and heavy in a way that didn't feel special or well-executed. We also ordered the chili fries with pastrami, which honestly helped save the meal. The flavor on those was decent, though I personally wish they used regular-cut fries instead of crinkle cut, which made it feel more processed than it needed to be. On the positive side, parking was easy in the plaza with wide spaces, and the wait time was reasonable--about 15 minutes for three burgers and fries. The establishment appears to be Filipino-owned. The menu simply says "burger," but Yelp labels it as a smash burger spot, which is confusing because the presentation includes brioche buns and a smash-style mustard sauce, but not the actual cooking technique of a smash burger. It's unclear what they are trying to be. Overall, it just didn't meet expectations. I'll stick with For The Win instead.

My kids typically order on the adult menu but they were excited that the kids menu had two side options. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders. They did not disappoint they were Krispy and delicious. My son ordered the French toast plate and he rally enjoyed it. The fruit in both plates were fresh. Unfortunately my meal was nothing like my kids. I ordered plain avocado toast. The first time it was brought out the eggs weren't in correct. Our server was kind and said she would have them remake it. I was hoping they actually would remake it because the avocado in the toast makes the bread soggy. The second time my plate was brought out it was the same toast eggs made correctly. As I cut my toast I noticed it was soggy and there was a hair on my plate. The manager was kind and did not hesitate to take it back. I was offered a fresh meal or a nee plate but my appetite was completely gone. Overall the service wasn't bad, I'm not sure what went wrong. Lesson to learn here. Check your food & have the waiters read back your order.

The service was adequate and the staff was polite enough, but the food didn't really stand out. I ordered the BLT with fries ($15.65), and honestly the sandwich was on the small side with very little bacon on it. The bacon itself was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while before being served. The oatmeal and toast ($8.50) and drinks were fine, but nothing memorable. Prices were: * BLT with fries - $15.65 * Oatmeal and toast - $8.50 * Hot chocolate - $2.95 * Dr Pepper - $2.95 Total for two people came out to $32.38 before tip. Nothing terrible, but nothing that would make me want to come back either. Just an OK experience overall and probably not a place I'd return to.

There were a variety of choices for sides and I chose a fruit bowl. I also requested an iced vanilla latte. Our waiter was pleasant and only checked on us once after our plates arrived, which was perfect as we were in deep conversation. My Monte Cristo was pan-fried and not deep-fried the traditional way, cut and served as three pieces. The French toast was prepared nicely and the turkey, ham, and cheese inside were fine. A small ramekin of syrup was provided, not nearly enough for dipping, but there was a full dispenser of syrup on the table so no problem. Usually a berry jam is provided on the side but they provided some sort of mysterious fruit jam that was bitter and a single small taste of it was all it took to deny it from further use. Yuck. The bowl of fruit was a great choice for a side. It was all bursting with flavor - strawberries, banana slices, and blueberries! I was glad I chose this over potatoes or fries. The iced vanilla latte was, at best, simply "okay". The flavor was weak. Overall, it was a fine breakfast meal.
