I'll try their other pastrami next time. See if that one hits the spot. Loved the ambiance, very lively. Location is clean. Different sides, spices, seasonings and salsas sold here.

Food was still warm by the time we got home. The onion rings and fries didn't make it that far since we ate those right away. Always yummy at The Hat.

I came here because my friend said they sell prime rib. I drove thirty minutes to get it!…read more Over the phone, the guy said bone in is $27.99 and no bone is $30.99. Once I got there, the guys were friendly and attentive. In addition to different meats, they had seafood and innards in the fridge. On the shelves, they had all sorts of seasoning, tortilla chips, some produce, charcoal, and other condiments. The older man who rung us out at the register was totally like your friendly elder neighbor with white hair and glasses. This made it seem like a nice mom n pop butchery. Before they wrapped it up, they asked if I wanted seasoning. I said sure. When I got home to open it, the meat smelled really nice. It was $165 ish for 5 ish pounds of bone-in prime rib. It was tied up already, and maybe I should have asked them to help me trim the fat. I didn't see if they sold horse radish, but the digital meat thermometer they had was $16.99.

Their food is always fresh, meticulously prepared, and healthy - and the team is the warmest and friendliest staff that you actually look forward to seeing. After working all morning, my brain somehow can't handle the simple decision of where to eat for lunch - but the anticipation of interacting with Andre, his team (L'ree ), and nourishing my body with a fresh meal makes it simple. It's always clean, and the staff is so helpful and attentive! My favorite items: I'll really eat anything from here! But Chen's Crispy Rice Salad and the seasonal items take the cake. I love the BBQ Brioche Sandwich, and I'm already counting the days until the Heirloom Tomato BLT makes her hot girl summer debut this year. Chef's kisses all around! Thank you MF being such a great spot for the locals! I know we're annoying sometimes, but gosh, y'all are the best!

0 stars for the recent customer service at the Brea store and from management/customer care…read more There is a dead-eyed blonde female cashier who stands off to the side of the cash register drinking from her Stanley cup, tapping her nails, not wanting to be bothered. No eye contact, no greeting and doesn't even say the total $ amount owed. She mindlessly, sloppily dumps the groceries in the bag. The first time I went, she shoved everything into 1 overstuffed bag, so I asked for an extra bag on the side. If I hadn't gotten another bag, it would have ripped. I had to redo everything in the car and noticed the smashed produce and bread in the middle and bottom of the bag. She put all of the other heavier items on top of them including cartons of milk and eggs. This employee has been there the last 3 times I've gone. So I filled out the contact form on the website about the terrible customer service and NEVER received a response. In addition to the awful customer service (only from this 1 employee), several times the produce I bought ended up rotting way too quickly. Their healthcare section just got downsized a lot too. This location has gone downhill! I hadn't been to Sprouts in Brea for a long time, and went there instead this past weekend - more selection, better prices and MUCH better customer service!!

The Fullerton Rutas has been a staple for my sister and I for close to six years, we come in at…read moreleast twice a month and absolutely love it. The vibes are artsy, chill, and very laid back, and while we have our regular spots there are no bad seats. Staff are always friendly here, and even though it's seat yourself and menus are on the table for you to take your time with, they're always checking in and willing to answer questions. Elizabeth has been our server on multiple occasions and is always attentive and quick to help or communicate, and always says hi even if she isn't the one working with us directly. Dinner rush is usually a bit earlier in the evening as they do see a lot of older clientele, but it typically varies based on weekday vs weekend and if there's a local event happening in downtown Fullerton. The patio is large with plentiful seating, a warm fireplace, dogs are allowed, and if there's live music happening at the museum down the street you can usually hear it. Our favorites are the nachos, killer chili, Leeky soup, and any of their salads. Price is a good value, especially considering the portion size, we can usually get at least two meals out of an entree. We love trying the new dollar dip flavor every month. Cookies are made in-house and very good, an easy and affordable treat to grab on the way out. We've brought vegan and vegetarian friends here and they can always find something to eat. Highly recommend as a place to come to when you want to sit and hang out for a bit to relax and have a good meal, whether alone or with a group.

If you step through the doorway and your first thought is, gosh, there must be a college campus…read morearound here, you'd be right. Rutabegorz (pronounced like the vegetable: "ROO-tah-BAY-gorz") is a short protest march away from Cal-State Fullerton as well as Fullerton Community College here in Southern California, and is across the street from an Anglican church that looks like an old Sixties, social justice kind of house of worship. The place is actually kind of hard to find, since from the outside it looks like any other ivy-covered brick building that houses the bookstores and headshops that cling, lamprey-like, to institutions of higher learning. Inside, the décor is a funky hodge-podge, not in the calculated way that a place like TGI-Friday's is crafted, but the way you'd imagine post-hippie entrepreneurs would decorate their restaurant labor-of-love. That introduction should prepare you for the food, which is as anti-corporate as you'd imagine from the place's looks. The vegetarian dishes are numerous and hearty the way you'd expect vegetarian dishes wouldn't be, somehow filling and richly satisfying. The ratatouille is savory, the vegetarian burrito bean-y and substantial, the falafel wrap is a little dry but will sit in the pit of your stomach in a satisfying way. The hummus is a lumpy, almost cottage cheese-like interpretation of the dish which could use a little more flavor but isn't bad. The food tastes homemade, the vegetables as though they were actually, at one point in their existences, raw. The meals are as nourishing physically as a Marilynne Robinson novel is spiritually. For those who are worried, the restaurant isn't exclusively vegetarian, and although I haven't had a bunch of the meat dishes, what I have had has continued on the theme of minimally processed foods. The-Walnut-That-Kissed-The-Chicken is a nice take on the chicken salad sandwich, spread thick between two slabs of squaw bread that make it as much a mouthful to eat as it is to say, and the chicken tastes like it was actually boiled and then chopped by hand. We still live in a society driven by consumption, not even the peacenik greenie-types are unaffected, and you can tell by the size of the portions - you invariably have to take some home. Salads come in gigantic blue plastic basins that look as though the cook in the back thought about looking for a proper serving bowl and then just decided, aw to heck with it, I'll just serve the entire thing in the tub I tossed it in. Be sure to get a dessert anyway - the cheesecake is the sweet, tart, dense kind of thing that makes gaining talk-show kind of weight easy. The place also has a decent list of beers. I haven't tried the wines or the cocktails. I've been coming here on and off for a little over a quarter of a century now, I've seen all sorts of people sitting at the rickety wooden tables, from the Birkenstock crowd to sorority girls to Korean club-kids - wholesome food in giant portions appeals across sociopolitical lines.
