This was a great spot for some cheesy goodness! I love that you're able to customize your own grilled cheese and is exactly what we did for our orders. We did happen to go on a weekend so the area is bustling with customers as there are a couple of other vendors and food around the plaza. But overall, worth the trip to grab a really niche craving! I hope to try some other options next time we are in the area :) read more

Craving grilled cheese for lunch. Found this place on Yelp. We ordered the New Chef $11.99 and the Basic $9.99(add tomato $1.24), also ordered the onion rings $4.99. Both grilled cheese are absolutely amazing. The New Chef had a Parmesan crust! Rich though, so we each only ate half and took the rest to go. Can't beat the price for such honest, nicely made and good size sandwich. Didn't expect much of the onion rings. It wasn't the usual huge beer batter rings, but it was nicely done, crunchy and crispy, flavorful and delicate. Only $4.99?! Hope this place will make it. It was Wed lunch and the outdoor seatings are packed. There are plenty lunch choices in this shopping center and most ppl are drawn to Hiro Nori or other "healthier" choices. Well, that's why I'm here to give this place a 5 stars hoping more ppl would give this place a try. read more

Grater Grilled Cheese caught my attention when I was on the plaza for other reasons. Who can say no to grilled cheese after all? So, of course, I had to stop by. The place itself is fine. Clean, friendly, simple. I tried their chicken grilled cheese pesto sammich, and it was really tasty solid sandwich, well made, no complaints about the flavor. But here's the problem... As tasty as the sandwich was, I just don't see how this place can survive long-term. Once you're done paying tax and tip, you're easily at $20 for a sandwich and that's without sides. The portions aren't that big either, so if you actually want to feel full, you'll end up spending $25-30 for just a sandwich and a pickle. Ehh no thanks. Include a side dish at least for that price. At that point, I'd rather just sit down at a proper restaurant and get a full plate of food. So yeah, it's good if you're craving a grilled cheese once in a while, but I don't see myself becoming a regular. You make your own call. read more

THANK GOD I DONT LIVE NEARBY!! hahahha this place is beyond amazing!!!!! I had gotten poke next door at bay poke and have always wondered about this place. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWW. I was so pleased to inform it was amazing!!! I did the chicken pesto but instead of getting pesto, I got garlic aioli and chipotle aioli, add grilled onions! Woahggh hahhaa I forgot all about my poke bowl and enjoyed my sandwich! The service was interesting, you do the order on a screen which sucks because you can't ask anyone questions. It'll be on them when technology takes over. Lmfao. The vibe is cool , it was empty, I would eat outside. Still check them out! But dont over do it, do exactly what you like! read more

Okay, I probably need to come back and try this place not on my lunch break at a new job, because I was frantic to order, eat my food in my car, and get back to work! I ordered the vegetarian grilled cheese and it was very filling and delicious- and I watched them make it fresh, which is awesome. The service was good and easy and the inside is small, but decorated cute. The plaza is crazy during lunch time, so be mindful, because parking will suck. read more

Omg I have never had such good patty melts until I tried out Grater. I found them on DoorDash and wasn't expecting much when I ordered. I loved every single bite of what I ordered. I didn't think I had it in me to devour two sandwiches and soup all in one sitting by myself. Everything was just THAT good tasting. Although I have problems digesting lactose, it was worth the pain and suffering afterwards. I think I may take a break from eating ramen and seriously considering ordering from them again tomorrow. read more

We came here during the week, on a Wednesday for lunch and there was no one in the restaurant so we got to order right away. We ordered the Lobster Grilled Cheese and the Philly Grilled Cheese with a side of fries. When I went to go find a table, I wasn't satisfied with the table seating. Seats could use a little TLC and the dining area is a bit too intimate for my liking, so we settled to sit on the bar stools, close to the register which can be uncomfortable. Our food came out in good timing. There was lots of flavor in my Lobster Grilled Cheese and I especially liked the fries. read more

Came here on Saturday with 2 kids. They shared a "5-Cheese" special, and I had the pastrami, and we split an order of sweet potato tots. It was a disappointment all the way around. The kids 5-cheese was decent, indeed the highlight. The pastrami was thin with little meat. The sweet potato tots were subbed for sweet potato fries without asking us. The restaurant was loud with metal music; I'm ok for a good jam, but this was crazy loud. Want to use the bathroom? Sorry, it's out of service (where are the staff going to the bathroom?). Want to sit in the booth? Sorry, they have been slashed LONG ago, and never repaired. Won't be coming back. read more

My husband and I came here for a late lunch today! I ordered the chicken pesto grilled cheese and tomato basil soup! I thoroughly enjoyed it! The portions were big enough to where I couldn't eat all of it! However, my husband's smash burger was on the smaller side. The reason for not 5 stars is solely because the tables and floors were not clean. I typically wouldn't care that much but only one other customer came in the whole time we were there and there were three workers in the back. read more

Tried their: Bacon Melt - I really liked it. On par with more egg focused places. LA pastrami - bomb pastrami grilled cheese. Really like the chunks of pickle in it Breakfast Mac - it was ok Hash rounds - really good. Would prefer some sort of loaded breakfast hash rounds.

Solid place for grilled cheese! I would have given if a five it my sandwich had way too much sauce on it, which kind of overwhelmed the other ingredients. Got the Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese and was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was seasoned. The pesto aioli tasted like mayo and there was a lot of it, drowning the tomatoes and arugula. Overall it was a tasty sandwich. My husband got the Mushroom & Truffle Mac and cup of tomato basil soup, both of which he enjoyed. You could even taste the truffle oil in the mac!

2 stars for employees being friendly, but that's about it. We ordered the avocado grilled cheese and pork belly grilled cheese. The avocado had about a tablespoon of mashed avo, 1 slice of bacon cut into smaller pieces, a MOUND of arugula (I'm guessing to bulk it up), minimal cheese, and too much sauce that made the sandwich soggy. Pork belly has a lot of toppings that made the sandwich disintegrate while you ate it. Sweet potato tots had a Thanksgiving vibe, very sweet with cinnamon, not our preference. Lots of gnats hovering over our food while we ate, and the state of the shop could use some work. For what is being charged they could probably repair the seating area. Bathroom was clean but had trouble getting the "hands free" items to work, including the water, paper towels and trash. read more

GRATE cheese place (pun intended). I had just finished the Whole30 Program, and this was the place my friends picked to have lunch. This was the best place for me to reintroduce my cheese group, and it was so perfect! We got the Avocado Grilled Cheese, Grater Fries, and a country mac to share. We were in a bit of a time crunch, and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. It was more than enough food to cram down in less than 30 minutes so we were full and even had delicious leftovers to take home with us. Now I really love potatoes, so I have to dedicate a paragraph to their Grator Fries, which they described as "Truffle Fries w/ parmesan and parsley." It tasted just as delicious as it sounds, and 5x better. I've never had a flat circular shape for fries, but I know why they do it like this now - because it's the way to do it! All the edges were crispy and fried to have that perfect bite we're all looking for in fries. It was more equivalent to tator tots for me than fries, so I would have recommended they call it like crispy discs or tater wheels or tot rounds or something like that. The Avocado Grilled Cheese was like a BLT panini with a heavy focus on the cheese and avocado, and now I can probably never go back to regular BLT. I wanted something with veggies, and it was made just like how you'd imagine a grilled cheese sandwich to be, but again, 5x better. The bread was the star of the show for me, and had that satisfying crispy crunch you'd expect when biting into a sandwich. Their Country Mac was so creamy, made with bechamel sauce and crispy bacon bits, and everything paired together very well. The cashier was friendly, and had our food ready in less than 10 minutes and they even recognized me when I went in to check on my order and handed my tray straight to me haha! The decor was very themed in bright yellow and orange and it just made me more excited for my cheese. Such a great cheesy experience, and I'd definitely come back for a second round of cheesy goodness! read more

3.5 stars Grater Grilled Cheese has multiple locations in the greater San Diego area and this one is located minutes from Irvine Spectrum. They have seating inside as well as lots of outdoor seating that is shared with nearby restaurants. CARNE ASADA FRIES ($13.99) - I liked the crispy fries and melted cheese. The jalapeños added a nice spice; while they're not at the level of the ones you would get at Mexican restaurants, this were decent. 4/5 LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE ($13.99) - This was cheesy but I thought it could've used more spice or salt so I ate some jalapeños from the fries with this. It could've also used more lobster. 3.5/5 PHILLY GRILLED CHEESE ($13.99) - we thought this was just okay. 3/5 NY PATTY MELT GRILLED CHEESE ($13.99) - we both liked this one better than the philly grilled cheese, mainly because of the garlic aioli. 3.5/5 The grilled cheeses were okay and surprisingly our favorites were the non-grilled cheese dishes. The sourdough bread was fine and handled all the toppings in-between but the flavors just didn't pop out to us. read more

It might have been an off day, but they were understaffed, I purchased a fountain drink with my meal, and only after I asked for my cup the employee said, "Oh, we don't have any ice." Well, ya coulda told me that before, son! Anyway, I tried the drink without ice and it tasted like something I'd probably get banned for saying. On a good note, I asked him to swap my fountain drink for a canned one, which he did with absolutely no issue. Took a while to get food. I was expecting cheesy yumminess heaven. I got a mediocre sandwich that wasn't nearly worth the price I paid. The onion rings were okay. Would I NOT recommend this place? Well, it could be better on a different day. It WAS the lunch rush. Will I go back? Probably not. But I don't usually eat out, either. read more

Really great breakfast/lunch spot if you're in the area! We got their hash brown rounds which probably was my favorite thing, I could have eaten the whole order cause I love hash browns. We also got their Bacon Morning Melt, which is a really great solid, hearty breakfast sandwich. We chose to get it with the sriracha aioli, I believe, and it was really good. Their L.A. Pastrami Grilled cheese was bomb too, I love pickles and it had pickles inside the sandwich. Good amount of pastrami too! They were pretty busy with orders when we arrived, so we waited a little while for our food but it was worth the wait! They also came by and gave us cookies because of the wait and that was so thoughtful and nice. Great customer service. Will definitely be back! read more

It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable. Plus I think you and your establishment are great and I wanted to detail that as well Kimberly.

I'd rate this spot as a solid choice, mainly for the atmosphere and the scenery…read more The Highlights: The views here are absolutely amazing. If you can, timing your visit for sunset on the patio is a must--there's nothing quite like that ocean view as the sun goes down. The service is consistently good as well; the staff is attentive and handles the volume well, which is impressive because this place is a bustling, busy spot during dinner hours. The Food: The food is good, though I wouldn't necessarily call it great. It's reliable and tasty enough, but the view is definitely the primary draw here. The Cons: Be prepared for a wait. It is a very popular local hangout, and there are often a lot of regulars who take up the seating near the entertainment. If you're heading there for dinner, expect to wait at least an hour for a table. Overall, it's a pleasant experience if you aren't in a rush and want a front-row seat to the coast!

It was super sunny which made it hot but, the server accommodated us and put up the umbrellas which made it comfortable. Another person in our party dinner was not satisfactory so the server took it off our bill. This was really appreciated and unexpected. Great place to enjoy if you want to eat outside.

Later, when checking our bank transaction, we discovered the charge had been changed to $149.90 after we left without authorization or knowledge! We never authorized a higher total, and this was extremely concerning to see afterward on our banking statement. It gave the impression that the amount may have been altered after payment was completed. We were sitting outside, if I remember correctly the server's name is Mary. This completely damaged our trust in the billing process. We recommend customers carefully review their posted transactions after dining here.

Great atmosphere!

I can't believe it took me this long to experience Nick's, especially as someone who's deeply…read morefamiliar with the Laguna dining scene. To put it simply: this is the kind of place Laguna has been missing. From the moment we walked in, the energy felt dialed-in in a way that immediately reminded me of a Hillstone experience -- polished but not pretentious, lively but still intimate. That balance is incredibly hard to execute, and Nix nails it. For context, I'm part owner of 230 Forest Avenue, so I don't say this lightly: Nix easily lands in my top five in Laguna Beach. We started with Aperol spritzes (perfectly balanced, not overly sweet), along with a couple of appetizers -- including a fried asparagus dish that was addictive in the best way. Crisp, flavorful, and gone way too quickly. For mains, I ordered the veggie burger, which was genuinely one of the best I've had -- hearty, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully constructed (not an afterthought, which vegetarian options so often are). My boyfriend had the noodle salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and layered with flavor. But beyond the food, what really stood out was the overall experience. The atmosphere feels intentional , great music, beautiful crowd, and a buzz that makes you want to linger. It's the kind of place where dinner effortlessly turns into drinks, and drinks turn into "should we just stay a little longer?" Laguna Beach doesn't have a ton of restaurants that hit this level across the board -- food, service, ambiance, and energy, but Nix absolutely does. We'll be back, and soon.

Then came the artichoke appetizer and the soup of the day... and honestly, I could've stopped there and been happy. But we powered through like professionals and went for a late lunch entrée, the Chilean sea bass- and WOW. Worth every bite. And shoutout to our server and the entire staff, total pros. Super polished, attentive, and clearly know what they're doing without being over the top. If you're looking for amazing food with a cool, laid-back vibe, Nick's is your spot. Just come hungry... and maybe wear stretchy pants.

However it was extremely crowded and needed seats to open up (All tables are first come first serve, but you can call in and make a reservation for 20+ people). The beers and drinks are really good!

Burger was good but nothing to write home about, came with fries. I do like that they have a wide menu for food, the carne asada fries didn't hit, I do recommend the burgers, but I would definitely come back to try another dish.
