It's a typical burger joint. There's A LOT of things you can order off this menu. I went with a ham and cheese omelette since it was breakfast for me and my friend got an avocado burger. I wasn't too impressed to be honest. I could've done this at home and made it look nicer. It wasn't horrible but I definitely won't be getting an omelette here any time soon. read more

This was my first and last time eating here. I ordered the carne asada plate it came with rice, beans, and pico de gallo. The carne asada tasted old like it was made yesterday and reheated for today. My son ordered the 3 stack pancakes and they were so thick and rubbery, he couldn't even cut them, let alone eat them. We had to order him a side of french fries instead which were actually the best thing they served us... never ever again... read more

This review is based solely on their cheeseburger combo-my go-to meal whenever I go to a cafe place like this is the typical cheeseburger combos. I taste the fries and make sure that they are not too crispy or but well done. I also check for the burgers if the cooks made it specifically to how I want the meat cooked and what's in the burger (typical lettuce, cheese, onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, etc). I like that the burger was not soggy. Many places give you burgers with soggy buns that are oozing with mayonnaise or thousand islands dressing on the bread which makes the bread less than appetizing. This burger was good and nothing like that happened. Fries were delicious as they were not too salty or overly done. Their soda was also not flat. Overall, I give this place 4/5 for the food. I took away 1 star because I think the area where you dine could have been cleaner. read more

Stopped by Famous Burgers because it was recommended by a family member. It's a small little place located on the north side of Imperial Hwy between Puente and Palm. The restaurant is decent size and has all booths (no tables). Restaurant is clean and orderly. The menu is eclectic with many choices to choose from, but it is truly a typical diner/café menu. Burgers, Pastrami, Pancakes, French Toast, Burritos...I ordered the pancake combo. Food was decent and portion size not too big. Prices are reasonable, with burger combos going for $5.29. I'll probably come back to try a burger, but all and all I anticipate it being nothing special. read more

I drove by to visit a friend today and saw a sign out for a $1.99 burger and fries manager special. Something looked very promising about the restaurant so I decided to eat there on the way back. Nothing special about the interior or decor, it's your basic burger diner. They do have a very oddly laid out drivethru. The menu is typical of a Greek owned burger diner. They have a lot of specials. I wasn't too hungry so I opted for a small chili cheese fries and soda. It came out to about $5.92. The girl behind the counter brought the food out and I helped myself to some of those yellow peppers. The have a Pepsi machine you operate yourself for free refills. I love my diet Pepsi. The chili fries were very good I'd say. The chili is just a tad on the sour side. The fries were crispy and hot and the shredded cheese was just enough. I have to say they get an A for effort. I believe you can tell from things like the chili fries that they are striving for quality. I also found the service to be very friendly. If burger and fries are only $1.99 that is an incredible value and I have to come back. Just a shame that it's a bit of a drive from me. read more

I used to like this place for the breakfast specials, but after today's visit, not so much anymore. For starters, the lady taking the orders had some attitude. Even though the place was pretty empty, she was rolling her eyes at me or making impatient faces as I was making my order for 4 people. Bad service turns me down so much! Had I been by myself, I would have left immediately! Then, the two very small pieces of bacon on my plate were so cold! They probably had been pre-cooked a while before and just sitting there. The food is not bad, but they increased their prices on the BK specials, so not worth it coming anymore: definitely not for the cold bacon and the 'tude!! read more

Wow I stepped in during the morning and really was up for some fish n' chips so despite being breakfast I felt right trying their plate in the morning. I liked it. I recalled the way mom made me fish fillet, when I was a child. And to my surprise it was crunchy, original to the simple tastes expected of the common fastfood english plate, really great aroma from the seasoning as if it were those finger foods that were deep fried shrimp from a Dennys food chain reataurant. But unlike Dennys, the servings' size of the plate was perfect, which is a sign of good quality integration into the food, knowingly characteristic that when having lower quality food to compensate with a massive serving is a way to make transparent a plates' bad quality by stuffing somebody to their hearts desire. I liked this plate. They know how to preserve quality. The fish tasted right, afterall it is not that hard to screw up fish n' chips, hehe. The serving portion was just right. read more

I added cheese on one and got a large fry it came for about $11. Burger was good fries were crispy (some reviews said they were soggy) I like when burger places add the chopped onions on the burger.

Brunch is a must here!…read more My partner and I visited Popping Talk Cafe and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Norwegian Benedict which has a poached egg, smoked salmon, spinach on an English muffin with butter and hollandaise sauce. Classic eggs benny and I liked the flavor of the hollandaise class. I love that the poached eggs are made perfectly and it mixes well with the smoked salmon. It's a standard eggs benny which really hit the spot. We also got the Popping Yolk Burger which has Angus Beef, Sunny Side Up Egg, Grilled Mushroom, Cheddar and Honey Mustard Sauce. This is a a messy dish, but it's well worth it for the soft pillowy buns and juicy Angus beef patty. I love that the sunny side egg breaks open to blend with the cheese and sauce. Each of the dishes were served with the classic home potatoes that are super crispy; they have a golden-brown exterior and fluffy, pillowy interior. They are cut into thick, rustic chunks, heavily seasoned with a savory herb blend. The potatoes are well-seasoned and highly addictive! We also got the Cinnamon Apple French Toast. This is deep-fried and coated with cinnamon sugar. It is then drizzled with maple syrup and topped with apple and apple jam. This tastes like fall in every bite. I love that it's fully coated with cinnamon sugar and the apple jam is warm too. It's an overall delicious dish! For our beverages, we got the Potted Plant Latte which is a playful, themed espresso that looks like a sprout growing in a potted plant. It's smooth creamy and subtly sweet from the cookies-and-cream topping. We also got the Osmanthus Oolong Tea served hot. This is highly fragrant and elegant. It blends traditional Taiwanese oolong tea leaves with real Osmanthus blossoms. The person at the counter that took our order was very friendly and he gave recommendations on what item we should get.

The small garden salad was equally underwhelming, consisting of only romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes with no dressing or even a drizzle of olive oil. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they were more like open-faced boiled eggs since the yolks were completely hard instead of runny. The café de olla had a nice flavor, but it was much sweeter than expected. I think it would be better if they served it unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) and let customers adjust the sugar to their own taste. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the ambiance is so charming, but the food just didn't live up to the experience.

I'm always greeted with a smile and a hello and they seem to have quite a few regulars, because they call them by name when they see these customers walk in. Service - The staff (who I am assuming are the owners) are super friendly, again, greet everyone, and always open to making suggestions. If a place has breakfast burritos, I'm always down for that...so that's what I went with the first time, and every time after. When I asked about their Bfast burritos, the owner suggested that I get it with a spinach tortilla, a totally new option to me, but boy was I happy with it. I have gotten it every time since then. Parking - lots of parking available...it's very strip-mall-ish, but doesn't seem to be too busy. If this place was much closer to home, I'd come way more often than every other week or so! Yum Yum Yum!

First off, the young lady who took our order was very kind, friendly, and helpful, which I really appreciated. Always nice to be greeted with good customer service! We ordered the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, the Applewood Bacon & Egg Burrito, and a side of their Beer Battered Potatoes. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. The portions were noticeably smaller than I had anticipated, especially compared to what I'd seen on Instagram. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich was pretty basic, and honestly, it reminded me a lot of the Breakfast Jack from Jack in the Box, just at a much higher price point. For what it was, I felt it was a bit overpriced. The burrito was okay, nothing particularly memorable. The Beer Battered Potatoes were actually really yummy and probably my favorite part of the meal! They had great flavor, although they were a tad too salty for my liking. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly service and enjoyed the potatoes, I personally felt the prices were a little steep for what were essentially a basic breakfast sandwich and burrito. I'm glad I finally gave Eggbred a try, but unfortunately, it just didn't wow me the way I had hoped. Sometimes the Instagram hype sets the bar a little higher than the actual experience. Not a terrible experience by any means, just not one I felt was worth the price.

Dear Broken Yolk Cafe Management,…read more I am reaching out regarding the disappointing experience my partner and I had at your Fullerton location on October 25. We chose your restaurant because we were looking forward to enjoying a nice breakfast together. We were seated immediately, which was appreciated, but unfortunately we were not greeted by our server for approximately 12 minutes. I understand that Sunday breakfast service can be extremely busy, and I recognize that the staff may have been overwhelmed. However, the lack of acknowledgment during that time was disappointing. Once our server, Victoria, arrived, we placed our order right away. We ordered two mimosas, a coffee, an orange juice, a ribeye breakfast, and the Salmon Benedict. It took about seven minutes to receive our beverages, and by the time our food arrived, both meals were cold. When Victoria stopped by and asked if everything was okay, my partner politely let her know that our food was cold. Rather than apologizing or showing any concern, her response was, "Would you like me to microwave it?" That comment was surprising and honestly insulting. At no point did she apologize, acknowledge the issue, or take ownership of the situation. Offering to microwave a cold meal is not the level of hospitality or customer service I would expect from a full-service restaurant. I came to your establishment expecting to enjoy a quality sit-down breakfast with good food and professional service. Instead, I left feeling disappointed by both the food and the way the situation was handled. Mistakes happen, especially during busy shifts, but how those mistakes are addressed is what defines good customer service. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that. If this is the standard of service at your restaurant, then I will choose not to return. However, I wanted to share my experience in the hope that it can be used as a coaching opportunity so future guests do not have a similar experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Famous Cafe, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to the outstanding service provided by our server, Carmen. From the moment we walked in, Carmen made us feel right at home with her warm smile and welcoming demeanor. Carmen's attentiveness and genuine care for her customers shine through in everything she does. She took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensure that we were completely satisfied with our choices. Her friendly and professional attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Not only was the service top-notch, but the food was absolutely delicious. In a world where customer service can sometimes feel impersonal, Carmen's exceptional service stood out and made our visit truly special. If you're looking for a restaurant that values its customers and offers great food, I wholeheartedly recommend Famous Cafe. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Carmen, you're in for a treat! Thank you, Carmen, for making our dining experience so delightful. We'll definitely be back! read more

In my continuing quest quest find the best fried zucchini in Orange County, I found myself in Brea…read moreat around lunch time and I decided to check it out. Sadly, I did not find what I was hoping to find. The place is clean enough upon entry and I was greeted somewhat quickly (once the cashier had finished her conversation with her coworker.) I ordered a cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini instead of french fries. The Coke from the machine was a bit flat. Bummer, but not the end of the world. Upon inspecting my receipt while I was waiting for my food, I realized that I had been charged full price for a cheeseburger ($6.59), a side of fried zucchini (a whopping $8.44), and a Coke ($3.89)...all together with tax, more than $20. According to the menu, you can make any burger a combo for an extra $5, and since a small fry is just a tad over $5, it's kind of like a combo is giving you a free Coke. It's a bummer that their system doesn't allow for substitutions, as this price did seem a little bit steep for what I was getting. When the food came out and I took a bite of my burger, I realized that I was going to want more 1000 Island spread than the burger had to offer (what can I say, I'm a sauce guy!) Surprise, surprise, - that turned out to be an extra $0.65. I had some cash on me, so I just gave the cashier a dollar and got back to my food. The burger was not bad. The fried zucchini had decent texture, but the breading was a bit thick for my preference and it lact flavor. All in all, the meal was just sorta okay. Price wise, it was definitely on the high side! I don't need for for restaurant meal that I enjoy to make me feel like I'm getting some kind of bargain, but if I'm paying premium pricing, I expect an outstanding. I don't see myself coming back.

The place is intimate and welcoming with tons to look at on the walls! Again, the music was great, while waiting for our food my son and I were having a blast dancing in the waiting seats. My review is more-so a 4.5, but only because the food was not quite to my tastes as far as Mexican food. I had super high hopes for this place because it looks EXACTLY like one of my all time favorite Mexican spots so I ordered my usual -- cheese enchiladas, a crispy taco and salsa. I also ordered a green veggie burrito and a soft carne asada taco for my son. The parts I enjoyed were the salsa and chips-- they paired very well together and I thought the salsa (and hot sauce) both had good flavor. The salsa isn't spicy, but the hot sauce had a good little kick. The crispy beef tacos were good, especially with the salsa . The enchiladas didn't do it for me... that's usually how I judge a place on if I like them, but I didn't really enjoy the sauce on them like I hoped. They weren't bad but just not what I wanted. The veggie burrito was a little odd... it had an interesting flavor and they chose veggies that I rarely have seen in Mexican food (squash, zucchini, etc). I'd definitely come back for certain things or if I want some decent chips and salsa... I'd come back for the atmosphere and try more tacos and some of their adult beverages! If you're lucky enough to have Pato helping you, you'll be well taken care of!

And the asada wasn't chopped up that well. (Some of it also tasted dry) There's simply better burrito options out there at other restaurants and food trucks. Maybe add cheese to it to make it taste better? Now the good: The burrito was a decent size. And the Spanish rice inside of it was pretty good. I also ordered a chocolate stuffed churro and it was exceptional! the staff were pretty nice and the place looked clean! Just watch out for the transients that sometimes be in the area.

The green sauce on the side helped, but only a little. It was definitely a case of quantity quality. The service also left something to be desired. The owner/manager came across as pretty smug and not particularly welcoming, which made the overall experience feel a little off. Maybe it was just too early in the morning for him?
