Bland food. My loved one hardly puts any seasoning on their food and they even said the food here was bland, so I know it was extremely bland based on her opinion. The atmosphere was depressing and the restaurant looks run down. The server seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but at work. I got the strawberry spring salad and it was nasty. How the heck does a place mess up a salad in such a horrible way? If you want frozen and cheap food cooked worse than you can do at home with a microwave, come to Mr. D's. If you like flavor and good food, go anywhere else. I finally found what the 'd' in Mr. D's stands for, and it's disappointing. read more

This is a quaint diner with a 50's appeal and decor. They have a bar, bakery, football night with big screens, and live music on Friday nights. They have a lot of options for dining, including a senior menu and happy hour specials. We had the 2 shrimp skewer plate and the salmon plate. Both were cooked well and served warm. For starters we enjoyed a bowl of thick, creamy, clam chowder. We were so full we did not have any room left for dessert - but there's always next time. Fabulous server with a warm smile. read more

Last night was a big surprise for me how much I enjoyed our Bible study group Christmas dinner at Mr. D's in Placentia! I had this yummy fried chicken dinner while some of my friends had turkey and roast beef dinners! They were all good! We were seated in a more private room. We had games, gift exchanges and we felt like we were at someone's home and yet being served by the most gracious waiters! If you are looking for more intimate/homey dinner this holiday and don't want to cook, please give this diner a try Please support this unpretentious restaurant! read more

I ate dinner there yesterday. I've had some good meals there and some mediocre ones too. But yesterday I had meatloaf and it was really good. I had mashed potatoes and spinach. With a nice roll with butter and an extra side of dark gravy. Everything tasted terrific. read more

Last two times I went our food was cold. Bar doesn't have a blender either when we requested a blended drink. How is that possible? My friends were surprised since I bragged about this place. I hope to be a loyal customer again but right now I'm not. read more

We placed an order on Jan. 30th. They then sent a welcome email offering 10% off our next order. We tried to use the code today but got an error. My daughter called and was told we could get the discount so she gave the girl the order over the phone. When she went to pick up the order, she was told my cell phone number was not found and we could not get the discount. She left without the order. Good way to alienate what might have been a good customer. read more

We went with friends who love this place. For me, not so much. I had a burger and it was excellent. I think everyone enjoyed their food. Service was a little slow but we were in no hurry so that was fine. This is a 50's themed restaurant and I guess that's just not my personal style. Our booth was pretty cramped. We should have sat at a table. I'd think this would be a fine place to take kids to. Prices were normal, as normal as pricing is in 2024. read more

I only come here to see Angela! Her service s the best! Thanks you Mr. Ds for having a great staff!

I came here for the first time on Sunday for breakfast and it was nice and empty. We got seated immediately. From when I entered I was already in awe of this place. We walked into a Marilyn Monroe statue and a car on the wall!! Too cool. So retro!! Then I pass the restroom and there's a painting of Ricky Ricardo and Lucy!! Photo op!! As soon as the waitress came by I ordered coffee. The coffee was delicious! I ordered eggs your way (I did over easy), sausage links, fruit (instead of the potatoes or hash browns) and toast. I loved it all. It was a typical breakfast and perfect for a Sunday morning simple meal. It was a lot of food and I couldn't finish the toast though I wanted to. Our waitress was very attentive and kept coming by to refill our glasses. I loved the decor here and it's a cute breakfast place. I heard the burgers are good so I'll have to try it out again. read more

Excellent food! Fabulous, well-stacked sandwiches and HANDS-DOWN the BEST clam chowder I've had since my Hawaiian honeymoon almost 50 yrs ago. We have driven 40 miles just for the chowder (Fridays ONLY!). Great and friendly service too! read more

Such a classic vibe the moment you walk into this diner. This retro-themed diner sets the perfect mood for a nice breakfast. The staff here is incredibly sweet and makes you feel right at home. I had the San Fran Benedict and it definitely hit the spot. The portion sizes were huge and totally worth it here. read more

First time coming and I rate it 4 star! Food: THE DENVER OMELETTE, Hubby ate this and he said it's good, the rate for cooking the egg is well enough! And the fillings are a lot! He had mash potato as sides, and he said it's good too, crunchy! PORK CHOP, I had this, and must say it's tender enough, yes it's cooked well and the tator tots as my side was so good, my picky toddler ate most of it and she loves it! We had hot milk and coffee for our drink, it was ok! And for the service, that's 5star! The waitress attends well and they're friendly enough! They also mediate with all the customer requests! read more

Strawberry walnut salad was pretty great! We got it to go and didn't get our dressing on the side unfortunately. It was tasty though and it had good portions of strawberries, walnuts, onion, feta, and other things. I recreated it at home and it was fantastic. I ordered a salad and a burger and it was done in 15 minutes. Burger was done how we asked and it was super tasty and juicy. read more

Unfortunately, this is not a very good review. Been 6 or so months since our last visit. Ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with Mushrooms, minestrone & extra sauce. One of our favorites, but this time the soup was barely warm, Fettuccine wasn't hot either & dried out around the edges. The bread was old and hard. The portion was smaller than before. Very disappointed. read more

Yesterday, my wife came home and was excited to tell me about this diner in Yorba Linda. She said is was well worth another visit.... So, we drove from Corona to Mr D's to see what her excitement was all about. Truthfully the front entrance was a red flag/concern; cob webs all over and the "Dine" sign in Black vs Red. So, we enter and received a friendly greeting by a hostess. We were sat quickly, due to the time on a Saturday, 9am, I had hoped to see more customers. Soon after we were seated, our server Melanie asked what would we like to drink... of course I had to ask a lot of questions about this restaurant. She was warm and friendly to all my inquiries and she took our drink and breakfast orders. The Ambiance was appropriate for a Diner; Music was good, decor was from the 50's and the vintage Chevy as a booth was pretty cool. (Sorry Linda C., this is the ambiance of a diner) The food came out quick and I could not believe how good everything looked. We had the Tex Mex omelet and the PayDay omelet; side of English Muffins. Tasty! I noticed that all the omelets are made with 4 eggs. Hearty meal and flavorful. (Mary H. - you should stay home and cook for yourself). Melanie checked up on us just a couple times but never let my coffee cup go dry. That is incredible service. I will be telling my Family and Friends about this place. I truly don't know why they are a 3.5 stars here. (Some people just need a place to complain; sorry Mr D's for their lack of seeing your honest efforts of food quality and service.) Kudos to the Management team and we will be back...Absolutely! read more

The service is amazing we love Mel and come here for her and the great food! Everything always tastes amazing! Burgers are bomb! Margaritas on point!! read more

Despite of the funky and jazzy diner and extraordinary customer service, the food just didn't cut it. The menu has wide selections but way too much. All the food we ordered were either very bland or salty. The salsa and cottage cheese that came as a side for the omelet didn't have any seasoning while half of the omelet was burnt and very salty. I see that they are using fresh ingredients but the taste bud is pretty much off. Might be a cool place to hang out and have a shake or sundae but there is nothing really special about their food. read more

Came here for breakfast on Sunday. They seated us in an area with more people and asked if we were ready to order a couple times. I ordered the corned beef hash and asked for my eggs over medium, and although the outside looked a little more cooked, the inside was still a little too runny for me. Then I guess it was my mistake, but I was hoping the corned beef hash would be a little more crispy than it ended up being. Maybe I should have ordered it extra crispy. Hash browns were cooked perfectly crispy when requested to be extra crispy. Ambiance was pretty chill for the most part, but louder than I would have liked on a Sunday morning. Altogether, not a bad experience, but also not perfect. read more

We sat in the bar yesterday for an extended period beginning around noon. The person who helped us was wonderful. Friendly and kind. I drink a lot of soda, and she refilled it regularly. Excellent service! My Verde breakfast burrito was absolutely perfect. In a previous review, I expressed dismay at the lack of cheese inside even when I requested extra. Not an issue at all anymore! I asked for extra cheese, and the burrito was filled with deliciously cheesy goodness! The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. I enthusiastically recommend Mr. DS! read more

What a cute place! 50's Diner and Bakery. My friend brought me here for a little birthday lunch. Entry was very cutely decorated with car table, juke box gum ball machine, Marilyn Monroe life size figure for selfies and a legs table. Everything was clean. We were cheerfully greeted and seated. Lunch was flavorful. Fish sandwich was offered with a side and a cup of soup. It was a generous meal. Fish was Cod and meaty. I had a Cobb salad and it was half lettuce and half toppings. Everything was fresh and arrived within 15 minutes. Service was provided by the bartender. She was attentive, quick and friendly. We hung out and talked and felt very comfortable in our booth. I would definitely revisit this cool spot! read more

Gosh! Was so disappointed as I was hoping for a solid meal. Decor is clever, staff was warm and friendly, but the food was awful. Fish and chips were tasteless frozen product, served with a bland coleslaw and a smushed bun. Rats! Hubby's sandwich was ok, but not memorable. Oh well read more

My wife I finally decided to give Mr. D's a try. It's had a rough go with its opening being that it was at the lodge right about when all of the Covid closures started. Give the restaurant credit for being innovative and finding new ways to serve connect to the community. I will say that the staff was very accommodating when we call and very friendly to schedule our pick up delivery. They were prompt when we arrive to deliver our food. So I give kudos to the staff and restaurant for the relationship building with its customers. Our food however left us wanting. I had the pastrami sandwich. It says toasted on them menu, but it sure did not have any sense of that with the bread. In toasted or even grilled to add some crunch would have been welcome. The pastrami itself was solid. However the sandwich felt dry or missing a component. Perhaps more mustard or a fried egg or cheese to add some texture. Would not be something I would order again. My wife got the California burger. Which again in itself the meat patty was seasoned well. Trying to eat her burger proved to be a challenged as it is was runny to use the best descriptor. The bread got soggy and the tray was just filled with juices that soaked the fried and mean you really couldn't put your burger back down. Totally opposite of the pastrami. Speaking of fries. I'll say they were well flavored and cooked right, but to be honest given the size of the burger and sandwich it felt like for the to go order it was almost a half order or really skimpy portions. Well try again when we can go sit inside because we like supporting local businesses, we were just underwhelmed. read more

Great and warm atmosphere here. A place where they will get to know your name and remember what you like to drink. I'm treated with great hospitality and taken care of every time I enter. They have a bar and happy hour, plus they have a few nights when they have live music. The food is excellent. My favs are the chix wings, burger with 1000 island dressing, the oatmeal (thick like I like it) and the fried Zucchini. I have never had a bad order and the food it's a big serving and it is moderately priced. Bottomless iced tea (my favorite), multiple flavored Mimosas (peach, orange and others). Great servers Angela and Lisa, along with Jorge, who takes good care of the place. The bar is a chill vibe and nice patrons. read more

Stopped in to Mr D's for breakfast a while ago and couldn't wait to come back. Just returned to try lunch and it was just as great! Customer service is top notch with a special thank you to Stacie for taking such good care of us! Portions are great, food is quality and the prices are a good bang for buck! Lately we've been to a lot of places with prices that went up and quality that's gone down so we appreciated a good find in Mr D's! The pies are also out of this world and available to go as well. And don't forget the tots...so good!! read more

PARKING: Tons of parking in front and back. ATMOSPHERE: OUTDOOR TENTED SEATING ONLY DURING COVID-19. CUSTOMER SERVICE: A line of 3 parties formed while waiting to be seated. Got seated fairly quickly on a Sunday morning @ 8am. Our waitress took our drink order IMMEDIATELY. Then she disappeared for 30 minutes until we got to order our food. I don't think it's the waitress fault, they were very understaffed. One waitress for about HALF the tables outside. The restaurant should expect a rush during the weekends. This lead to very poor customer service since she was SO BUSY. Again, not her fault, I think it's the restaurants responsibility to hire more staff. FOOD: Absolutely terrible! The most BLAND and TASTELESS food I've had anywhere in Placentia. I'm assuming they have an older demo since they use virtually ZERO SALT or seasonings in any of their food. PRICING: Around $15 per plate. Same price as Original Pancake House, but Original Pancake House is significantly better and worth it. OVERALL: Will not return. I tried this place because I always drive by and it was new and looked busy. However, very disappointing. I miss Marie Calendars! read more
