    Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
    John E.

    Always walked by Eat Real Cafe but never stepped in until now. Glad we did too. Before a movie around the corner our group stopped in for a quick bite to go. The Chicken Club Sandwich was amazing. On grilled sourdough the sandwich has a delicious breast of chicken with applewood bacon and cheddar. The combination was perfect. Not sure if they season the chicken but it was so good and juicy. The side of sweet potatoes chips was also very good. I'm not usually into sweet potato fries or chips but they were a good compliment. I had a bite of the chicken quesadillas which were really good too. Everything tasted very fresh. We planned on taking the food to go but while waiting we were enjoying the ambiance inside and stayed. The girl at the front counter was super nice and completed the order as requested. The rest of the menu looked good too so we will be back.

    I had the absolute best experience having brunch here with my best friend. We ordered a new coffee they had on the menu that we'd never tried before, and our breakfast bowl. Service was amazing, and the atmosphere was nice. Would definitely come back again.

    Great experience! Came here to have an early dinner with a friend of mine. Wait my friend had the burger. I had a sandwich. We also ordered some chips and guac/ salsa. Our server was very nice. Very patient since it was our very first time. They use healthier ingredients. The food we ordered was very good and very tasty. The prices weren't bad either.

    "Italian" chopped salad with cheddar cheese, no meat, and pieces of carrots so thick you could choke

    Just picked up two salads for a $40 lunch (yikes) and every single thing was wrong. The Italian salad was missing multiple ingredients, including all the protein, and instead of mozzarella they filled it with slices of cheddar and huge chunks of carrot. And the other salad was the wrong one entirely. So disappointing. UPDATE: they gave us the wrong order (even though my name was on the bag) but since they were apoplectic and offered me a refund I'm bumping this up to two stars

    The aesthetics of this cafe are so beautiful, I just wish the food was a little but more exciting. I got the OG breakfast. The plate it self seemed sort of empty, and the tomato was kind of random. The garlic hash browns were great though. I also got the cafe con leche: it's basically milk and coffee with a bit of sugar. No real brown sugar flavor there at all. The service itself was great though. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. I might just need to try something different on the menu, because everyone was great to us our first time here. There is street parking right out front as well.

    This was a really cute experience. Of course it didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. It also didn't hurt that parking was so insanely easy and FREE. ...which, of course Eat Real had nothing to do with - but in a way - they did. Can you see how delusional I am? In any case, there was a tiny wait - 15 minutes or so, but its nice, because they text you when they're ready to seat you. The food is so nice and fresh - and the staff are super friendly. I think this is the perfect spot if you want to grab a nice brunch and soak up the sun.

    We were in downtown Santa Clarita on Main Street, and thought we would try this Eat Real café. First off, they have a really nice menu with quite a variety of drinks, including specialty juices, specialty coffees and teas, with or without caffeine, and a lot of superfood drinks. The lavender moon latte the best ever! Not too heavy on the lavender, the super food wasn't overpowering, and with oat milk it was absolutely creamy and delicious! We also had the power grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry, but it had kale jack cheese with red pepper pesto, and other than the dryness of the chicken the sandwich was pretty darn good. They have nice music playing in the background, the service is friendly, and we sat outside on their cute patio. All in all, it was pretty good! Not perfect, but a pretty good place to stop, especially if you love lavender because I'm telling you that drink I'm gonna think about for a long time!

    Iced Matcha with oat milk was delicious

    My son is a regular here so I had to try them out while I was in the Santa Clarita, CA area this past weekend. The neighborhood is so cute and cozy. As you walk into the restaurant, you get this laid-back feeling that I loved, especially in the morning. The restaurant was clean and very well designed to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. I started with an iced Matcha with oat-milk & a butterscotch scone...delicious. I ordered the omelette, which was very good with a side of hashbrowns. Yum! The merry maple chai coffee is delicious here, get one! Good service. Their Motto: WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT EAT REAL CAFÉ OFFERS FOOD THAT WILL PROPEL THE HUMAN BODY WITHOUT EVER COMPROMISING TASTE. They are very transparent with their ingredients which is the main reason I chose to visit. We parked in the garage right behind the restaurant, which had plenty of parking. I highly recommend checking them out.

    Vegan Bowl
    Max W.

    INCREDIBLE intimate café/restaurant and a top tier choice for Vegans in the Newhall & greater SC area! Arrived on an evening to the glowing, warmly lit interior which is full of chic natural wood toned furniture. A wall of their very own in-house made wines issued beautifully choreographed and brings in a sense of both elegance and a homegrown environment. Comfortable seating and quiet ambience, it served as a fantastic date place. The waitress was an absolute delight - kind, courteous, smiling, attentive, and always present. My cold pressed "Pumped" juice was AMAZINGLY good, dwarfed only by the absolutely STELLAR "Maca Mushroom Mocha Latte" -- the cafés most "must get" drink in my humble opinion. The vegan nachos arrived as a chips plate for a party would - nestled in a large bowl and REPLETE with every topping a nacho lover loves (beans, pico, guac, cream cheese), the vegan cheese was to die for and so were the gluten free Siete chips (so awesome to see). My vegan wrap was warm and just so tasty. If you're an avocado fan, you would love it. My date's vegan bowl (pictured but keep in mind she removed some veges from it for taste preferences) was enough food for a family of 4. Needless to say, we knew from the get-go that we were leaving with 2 days worth of great leftovers! Cannot cannot cannot wait to go back!!!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Michelle A.

    Delicious breakfast sandwich! The sausage was so herby and the cappuccino was spot on. The service was good, it took a few minutes to get greeted, so we technically missed brunch, but they were happy to accommodate. There were plenty of tables inside and outside to sit at.

    Meat breakfast burrito

    Cute location, kind service, nice ambience. I love how they had a huge drink menu that was just as big as the food menu lots of fun options. I also really appreciated the amount of food sensitive options they had. I had a friend with me with a lot of very specific food allergies who struggles to eat out anywhere, and there were so many options for her! Not just one or two items! The care that goes into developing a large menu that considers so many allergies and food sensitivities and all the substitutions they offer, was an art in and of itself. Not to mention everything tasted great. I will for sure be back. My only small complaint was the water served didn't have ice in it and it was a hot day plus we sat outside and I am not a fan of luke warm water. On that note, I didn't bother to ask for ice and I'm sure they would have brought it.

    Adorable downtown spot with a big city vibe. The area is well designed and gives off a calm peaceful vibe. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff had a very chill vibe to them. It's a slow paced spot so if you are looking to sit and actually enjoy being at a restaurant this is the place for you. As for what i ordered : Einspanner latte 7/10 cold foam was delicious but espresso could be a bit stronger Chicken cesar wrap 8/10 really good just wish it was served with some sort of spicy sauce

    Vegan Nachos

    My daughter and I last minute wanted to go eat something and we decided to go to Eat Real on Main because this place never disappoints. Our servers Kristina and Kiley were the sweetest! So kind, so polite, treated us wonderfully and even made their recommendations. I tried their seasonal Pumpkin Soup and wow that was delicious. I also got the Vegan Nachos and I ate every bit of it! So good!!!!! And of course for dessert I had to take some Pumpkin Scones to go!!! Fun fact they make their scones in house! Love this place, love the food, love the staff!!

The service was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our entire visit. Our drinks were constantly being refilled, and the staff regularly checked in to make sure we were doing well. You can really tell they care about their customers. We all really enjoyed our meals. I ordered the burger, and it was delicious--great flavor and cooked just right. My kids loved their meals as well, especially the chicken tenders and fries and the mac & cheese. The drink I had was definitely hit the spot! LOL. And the dessert was a 10/10. I absolutely love crème brûlée, and that's definitely my weakness. We also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant is very well taken care of, updated, clean, and has a really welcoming feel. We will definitely be coming back to try some of the other dishes!

The restaurant itself was very nice, spacious, and had a pleasant atmosphere. Our waiter was okay--he did his job, and that's about all I can say about that, lol. Based on the menu description, I thought the chicken and waffles came with a sweet potato base, but unfortunately, they didn't. However, the chicken was fried perfectly and seasoned just right! The rest of the food was good, but not so amazing that we would come back for it. The pancake was also very cake-like, which wasn't quite what we expected or intended to order. Overall, it was a decent experience for our little birthday brunch, but probably a one-time visit for us.

The beer was mostly cold (it was a warm night). The ribs were delicious and sticky and I made it through the whole serving.

We ordered pulled pork and pointed at the sandwich. Same with my wife's order. The food arrived and they were not sandwiches. It was my first time and didn't they had a pulled pork plate. It's like $15 more than the sandwich. I said it was fine and they gave us some buns. She seemed annoyed and that kind of ruined my meal a little...partially my fault. When food arrived and I said it was fine, she just left. We didn't hit utensils. I waited 5-10 minutes and she was still in the back. I got up and got them myself. 15 minutes later, the table next to me also got the food and no utensils. That should one of the first things they improve on. The sauces were very good and I loved that part of the restaurant. It was pretty quite and calm atmosphere. They have a full bar. The bill came and it was $200 plus tip. My kids had a kids plate and another adult plate. It's pricey. We didn't want to go to a chain to support our local spots. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I went to a famous steakhouse the next week, purchased a bunch of cocktails, 2 plates, and an appetizer for $200. Food is good. Service is so so and prices are high.

I was there after sunset so the lights were aglow and canyon sounds were echoing. Seating is outdoors and no matter where you sit, it's the best seat in the house! Wear shoes you feel confident in as there is lots of brick and cobblestone-like paths. If you arrive early there's a small gift store with lots of curiosities from children's books, artisan jewelry, new age crystals, giant chimes, and a small wine cellar. Started a an old fashion that was spectacular! Also had a glass of prosecco that was good but no comparison to the OF! I know, they are entirely different, but if like both opt for the OF! Started with the tuna and it was the best appetizer I've had in a very long time. The green olives made it pop! Moved onto the short rib and the sea bass. The short rib was a winner. Very tender and flavorful. Also ordered the Brussel sprouts and they definitely do it right! If you're a vegetarian, the Brussel sprouts could be a whole meal! It was huge! Sadly the sea bass was a disappointment. I immediately tasted "fish" and it wasn't good. I tried to push through with a couple more bites but the fishy taste was too strong. My companion, however, didn't seem to mind. You'll have to be the judge. Valet parking was only $9 (don't forget to tip). The table service was impeccable. They came at the right times to see what else was needed, refills were topped off, and they never interrupted the conversation or the meal--their timing was perfect. Finished up with ice-cream and a cappuccino. The ice cream had a streusel topping like nothing I've tried before! If cappuccino is your drink, you will be very happy with theirs. Not too overwhelming and the foam was lightly sweet. Delicious! Going back for brunch to see what the day experience is like!

The citrusy white ponzu with pickled mustard seeds, cucumber and fresh herbs really elevated the tuna. We also loved the Little Gem Green Goddess Caesar. Perfectly dressed, not overloaded, with Parmesan and brown butter breadcrumbs that added the best crunch. The only thing I personally didn't care for was the bread, but everything else was fantastic. Service was great, valet parking is available, and there's even a cute little vintage shop with books, candles, etc. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu

Dinner was $70 per person and consisted entirely of shared plates. It turned out to be plenty of food. We started with the roasted shishito peppers and the crispy pork belly. That pork belly was the best dish of the night - absolutely delicious. Next came the chickpea fritters, which were also really good. The roasted beet salad was up next. I hate beets. But I still liked this. I wouldn't order it again because, yeah, I really don't like beets. But if you like them even a little, you should get this. I actually ate several bites of this, and it was nice. The Sichuan Chili Bass presented a similar situation as I don't really like fish - but again, I ate this and it was quite tasty. Dessert was a "s'mores" situation - a messy, glorious bowl of chocolate, meringue, graham cracker crunch and strawberries. Service was awesome - perfectly pacing the meal. My friend had a couple of cocktails which were gorgeous. And the room is lovely and light. I don't love the neighborhood and parking can be tough. I definitely would come early unless you're taking a taxi. Genuinely surprised how much I liked this meal. Everything was very well done and clearly made with care without seeming fussy or too precious. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. This is a place to take your out-of-town friends to.

    So stoked that I finally got to try this place. It no longer has to be stuck in my "want to go…read moreplaces" bookmarks! We were able to secure a 5:30pm reservation on a Saturday night with outdoor seating. Friends had dined here several times so started off the night with some good recommendations! For a party of four, they recommended about 5-7 dishes to share. I have unique allergies so both the staff and kitchen were extra careful and made sure to let us know if any of the dishes we ordered had any potential cross contamination. To be safe, we didn't order one of their popular dishes (green beans) as it has cashews. We thought about having those to the side but were afraid there could be potential contamination from the pot they make it in. We ordered about 6 dishes to share and ordered a matcha tres leches to share per each couple. We probably could have ordered another main but we left with satisfied bellies. Naan & Dips - $21 Must get! Naan is super flavorful and comes with two dipping sauces. It was a good portion size to share among 4 people Roasted Carrots - $19 Couldn't get the green beans due to my cashew allergy so we opted for the next recommendation given by our waiter! The carrots were so tender and flavorful. Tomato & Stone Fruit Salad - $24 I really enjoyed this one although our friend felt like the Chicago location made this more flavorful. The creamy tofu sauce with chili oil makes a great pairing! A great refreshing way to start off the meal before all the heavy flavors from the mains! Ginger Chili Yum Salmon - $38 Salmon was extremely tender and cooked well. It comes with two pieces of salmon, so it made it easy to share between the two couples. The sauce was okay for me. Sticky Glazed Pork Shank - $48 My absolute favorite from what we ordered. Meat fell off the bone and was seasoned so well! I liked the addition of lettuce and pickled veggies. You can eat as is or make it into a lettuce wrap! Highly recommend, maybe next time I won't share this one haha Pork Belly Noodles - $36 Pork belly was tender, but I don't remember much from it...also the portion size was lacking so maybe that's also a factor. 2 Matcha Tres Leches - $17/each YES to this! This was such a divine way to end our meal. The blackberry frozen jam and matcha whip was such a treat! Loved the addition of matcha white chocolate quinoa crisps!
