The Spread
Adrian F.

I'll be honest: I don't usually like IHOP. Something about sticky syrup bottles and Pepsi products just feels wrong. Breakfast without Coke? That's like Sunday without coffee--technically possible, but spiritually empty. But this IHOP on Randolph Ave? Different story. The breakfast was spot on--eggs cooked right, pancakes fluffy, bacon crispy, hash browns golden. The kind of food that hits the table warm and makes you forget, for a moment, that you're sitting in a chain diner. This wasn't just edible--it was enjoyable. The service? Shockingly good. Friendly, fast, and actually attentive without hovering. The manager deserves a huge thumbs up for running a tight ship. Plates came out hot, coffee refills flowed, and the vibe was calm instead of chaotic. It felt less like an IHOP, more like a neighborhood spot that actually cares. IHOP didn't just serve breakfast, they served redemption. I don't usually like IHOP, but this location surprised me. Great food, warm service, and a manager who clearly gets it. If all IHOPs ran like this, I might just forgive them for the Pepsi.

55+ menu.  Woohoo!!

Who knew IHOP offered a 55+ menu? It's a fantastic option, offering great value for seniors. We were pleasantly surprised by the choices and affordability. We enjoyed the Rise and Shine Breakfast Plate and I enjoyed the incredibly moist and tender Sirloin Steak Breakfast with Pancakes. We were actually there to redeem some coins, which auntie scored us an extra stack of three pancakes for free! The restaurant was clean and has plenty of parking. Our waitress was absolutely superb. She was efficiently managing about ten tables, yet she was on point with every single one. Talk about excellent customer service! We'll definitely be back.

Happy national pancakes day!! (March 4) iHop is good once in a while. This is nice location to go to because it's near a fun mall and has lots of parking. The servers here are kind people and fun to talk to if you wish to talk to them. I enjoyed my free short stack and $7 egg and hashbrow combo. A lil extra tapatio on top and ketchup on the side, then it's a hearty and flavor balanced meal for me.

Avocado toast added egg

Kids happy face pancake, Waffle Combo, 2x2x2, and avocado toast. Kids said, "the eggs and bacon were great! Happy face pancake was a little too sweet, but still ate almost all of it. Belgian waffle was toasty on the outside which made it delicious and the sausage wasn't super greasy either." Avocado toast was excellent, but next time I would order it on sourdough. This breakfast was better than expected, and the service was friendly and prompt. Tables were clean and looks like might have been remodeled recently. Overall super happy with our experience.

The wait wasn't long at all. We came 12/23/2025 on a Tuesday and it was almost empty. Which surprised me of the following. It took really long to get our food and when we did get it, most of it was cold. The drinks got significantly smaller! The glasses for orange juice and water were smaller than my hand and yet my Father in Law received a full size soda. There were some side dishes missing that we didn't get until we got the check. The table next to us also mentioned they were missing food and we only saw our waitress 3 times. The staff were nice regardless of how the kitchen handled our food. The place was decorated for the holidays which is always super fun. Won't be coming back though.

Juana was a fantastic server, was detailed when answering questions and was always prompt to check in with us. Great food and great service.

No, it's $7 not $6 here. So why not be upfront?
Dustin B.

It's been years since I went to my local iHop. Maybe they got better but last time it wasn't great. I saw a Yelp ad for $6 small breakfast plates so I thought I would try one and maybe two if one wasn't enough. I went in and saw the sign that said small plates were $7. Hmm ok Brea prices I guess. They sat me and asked if I want something to drink. I only drink water at meals so I asked for a water. They said "we only have bottled is that ok?" Nope, I said, and left. See you in two years iHop if you are still around.

Crepes with bacon and scrambled eggs
Marissa L.

We came here for breakfast so I could use a gift card that was given to me for here. This was the highest rated IHOP in the area on Yelp. We were seated right away and the service here was quick and friendly. To drink I got an orange juice and to eat I ordered the crepe with berries combo with bacon and scrambled eggs. The food was pretty good, the bacon was my favorite. My crepes were delicious topped with maple syrup, thin and sweet with sliced strawberries. Overall it was a good and filling breakfast.

Victoria M.

Restaurant was pretty busy for a Friday morning Service was quick Placed our orders food came out pretty quickly I was very disappointed the "fluffy" pancakes were not fluffy they serve them on a small plate so that the pancakes looked bigger. The fruit was not very sweet on top of it. Again with the eggs, hashbrowns and bacon, they put that on a big plate with very tiny portions The chicken fried steak was OK

Charles V.

One of the very few places in the OC that I love going to with my close friends on a Wednesday…read morenight. Especially when the Art Of Sax plays here! My go to meal here is specifically something light and good. Don't want anything too heavy, especially dancing on the dance floor, lol! The Irish Country Salad I posted in the pic has apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts, croutons, frisee, radicchio, drizzled with honey vinaigrette. I highly recommend this salad when coming here! Our server, Devin was pretty good despite the place was packed and he had alot of tables to wait on. My food came out pretty quick and he did check up on our table from time to time which is awesome. Never had an issue here service wise. Wednesday nights are always a fun night here with food, singing, and dancing!

Macallan's has the look of an Irish pub; dark wood, Celtic décor, the whole atmosphere is there…read more But if you're going to lean into Irish identity, the details matter, especially with Guinness. I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.

For some reason the refinery spend their 40 minutes cooking the hell out of my burger, and they could even put the tooth pick in the middle of my burger, like is it that hard to stab my burger in the middle. I honestly don't know how The Refinery inside the Hilton in Brea manages to stay open. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. First off, the place looks nice when you walk in, but that's where the positives end. The service was painfully slow -- not the "busy restaurant" kind of slow, but the "did anyone remember we're here?" kind. We waited forever just to get water, and it somehow took even longer for the food. Then the food actually showed up... and wow. Bland, overpriced, and somehow still cold. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. For a restaurant attached to a Hilton, I expected at least basic quality, but this felt like cafeteria food with steakhouse prices. To make things worse, the staff acted like helping customers was a huge inconvenience. No check-ins, no refills, no effort. Just vibes of "please eat and leave." Between the slow service, disappointing food, and ridiculous prices, this place feels like a tourist trap hiding in a hotel lobby. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Brea. Even a gas station snack run would be a better experience.

Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

You have to be careful not to pass it since there is only one entrance to the parking lot , if you pass the entrance you will have to make a U-turn and come back. We didn't think we would get seated fast because the parking lot was pretty full. But we got lucky and were seated right away. Service is pretty good , they have a lot of people working here. The place is really big and has a lot of seating. It was quite busy. I ordered a Spanish omelette and my son ordered the blueberry pancakes. My omelette was ok, it had way too much peppers and I didn't see the cheese , it comes with a side so I went with country potato with onions and bell peppers. I only wish that it included some kind of toast. My son's pancakes were ok, they are only topped with blueberries we thought the blueberries were going to be inside the batter or inside the pancake. He had to add a lot of syrup to make them soft. The one thing I will say is that the house coffee is very good. It's Lavazza coffee which is really good. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some other options or coming back for lunch or happy hour.

Some had reservations, especially larger parties. If you plan, do the reservation thing. I prefer to do that. But we were a small party so it worked out. My breakfast biscuit was decadent and delicious. Great fried egg cooked perfectly with delicious cheese and avocado and bacon. First time I've had a perfect fried egg at a restaurant. They do it right! The Cajun seasoned tots on the side were better fresh than reheated later. Not my fave. The side of candy bacon was also very nice-- balance of sweet and spicy was great. It's served slightly chilled, but was good. The peach bellini is perfectly bubbly-- not blended. Just the way I like it! Great portion of two full glasses per order. Strong champagne. Lovely and priced right for brunch. My daughter's pancakes with warm berry compote on the side were delicious. I couldn't resist eating one since the stack was so large. Shareable for sure! And her side of bacon and scrambled eggs were delicious also. Server was fabulous. Friendly and efficient. Overall great experience. I'll definitely return soon.

I'm not super familiar with German cuisine, but everything felt authentic and traditional. I ordered their popular Ruben sandwich, served hot with corned beef, sauerkraut, and a Russian dressing on rye bread. It was delicious and packed with meat and flavor. The fries that came along with it were so crispy and tasty. I also tried the breaded veal cutlet, which is a German specialty. Both dishes were very good and hearty. They also have a great beer selection on draft. I went with the Spaten Pilsner, which paired perfectly with the meal. I love that each of their beers is served in its own branded glass. It was just super filling, I wasn't able to finish everything. Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'd come back to and try their various specialties (like their sausages) !
