    We came for my birthday brunch and waited about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Once we were seated, they brought out a water bowl for our dog which was nice. Unfortunately, we didn't receive our own water until after our food arrived, and only after we flagged down a server. The bam bam burrito was yummy, especially their sauce. The raging bull skillet was flavorful as well. The medium rare steak was overly chewy for me, felt like chewing gum. My husband enjoyed it though, so it may come down to personal preference.

    Outdoor patio dining

    First time visitor Open parking lot or use the parking structure for 2 hours free validation Indoor and outdoor dining Dog friendly patio Industrial farmhouse modern clean spacious both indoor and outdoor Appear to have a full service bar Server was ok. Didn't introduce themselves. Didn't ask if it was first time visiting, no explanation of the menu. Was pretty basic with taking order and checking up once and then the bill. No refill on empty water glasses even though they went to refill other tables. Food was ok at best if that. Presentation / plating was great with its different layers textures and sauces but overall tastes pretty disappointing. Order the Aussie scramble, sad to say best thing on the plate was the toast. The eggs were fluffy but had an off taste, tomato chutney was basically a tomato sauce, spinach leaves on top were ok and the majority were already bruised. Side of bacon extra crispy. The brekky potato lacked crisp and had more of an oily taste like it wasn't a hot enough pan used. The blueberry pancakes seem ok? Lacked the fluffiness and softness. The lemon custard was sweeter than expected but mix with the raspberry sauce provided that acidity needed to break up the sweetness. $53 meal didn't feel worth it. Sad to say should have probably gone somewhere else for better food. Ambiance yes but wouldn't return back for a dining experience.

    GF Berries Pancakes and latte! Beautiful and delish!!

    Saw a reel on IG by the siblings duo Brooke.and.Ben and had to give this brunch spot a try and it did not disappoint. The food and drinks are delicious and beautifully presented! The berries GF pancakes, crab cakes and latte are some of our favorites. The ambience is so trendy and clean! The service by Katie is sweet and kind. Can't wait to come back when we are in the area...esp w/ SCP is right across the street!

    We're really into food when it comes to actual real Organic food, high quality whole ingredients, seed oil free and all the things. Can believe we ran into this place THE BEST WE'VE EVER HAD. I'm not kidding we travel the entire world doing this. The service was professional quick and so friendly as well. This restaurant was no joke ABSOLUTELY one of the best tasting best representations and best high quality foods we've ever experienced. Best Matcha I've ever had. It's ceremonial grade from Japan. And they whisk it with bamboo! Best Pancakes ive ever had in my life hands down. I'm not exaggerating. All clean ingredients too! Best Pesto Chicken Sandwich ive ever had. Who ever designed the menu AAAA+++++

    In the same plaza as Philz Coffee right across South Coast Plaza! There are several parking spots right in front or you can park in the adjacent parking structure & get your ticket validated for the first 2 hours! Ordered the skillet + blueberry pancakes. Server was kind (Maddie) and will come again to try other menu items!

    My bf and I have been to Outpost twice now and loved it both times. We've only been on Saturdays, prob one of their busiest days, but we still managed to get a table without reservation each time. Outdoor seatings are popular and usually very loud if they have large groups, we opted for inside today. Emily was our server, and she was super nice and awesome! Honestly, if people don't come here for the food, I would come here for the service because everyone is so nice! I love their food here, ingredients are fresh and their coffee and matcha are delish! I had my matcha both unsweetened and sweetened a bit and they were so good! We have our favs, like the protein bowl, steak, Super Bowl, avocado toast, and Aussie scramble, which we tried for the first time today just to support Oscar Piastri wining Pole position again in a race (Sprint Qatar today!!). Go Piastri!! My bf and I always make sure we come here for brunch whenever we stay at the Marriott because it's just a short stroll over. Parking can be tough but overall, great spot for food and drinks and hang out with your friends! This and Bluestone are my two fav Aussie spots!

    Parking is limited outside, but you can park in the parking structure (2-hour validation is provided by the restaurant). The place gets really packed for brunch, so expect a wait. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but it can get crowded when walking through tables. I ordered the Aussie Scramble and it was really good! The toast was super tasty, with it being well-toasted and not too hard to bite. The eggs, spinach, and avocado were all delicious and well-seasoned together. Recommendation(s): - Aussie Scramble Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Park inside the parking structure and get a 2-hour validation from the restaurant - Restrooms available - Gets pretty crowded, so expect a wait

    Avocado and sausage skillet
    Krysten I.

    Outpost kitchen is located near south coast plaza mall. It's on the bottom floor of a building with a private lot and I do believe they validate. They're Australian themed, but it was pretty much healthy western/ American breakfast offerings. Maybe I didn't have very high hopes of living this place because we only chose to come here out of convenience, but I'm so glad we dined here! Everything was so good and I'd come back for sure! We made a reservation on open table which was easy and efficient. I like that you could choose outside or inside, because both seating areas are nice, but it was a little chilly the day we went, so we decided to sit inside. The hostess was nice and friendly and our server was great. The inside is nicely decorated. Very modern and chic. They have a variety of drinks: coffee, tea, smoothies, juices and cocktails. My dad has his coffee refilled and the servers were all very nice and attentive. We ordered the date mate salad, the blueberry pancakes and the eggs, sausage and avocado skillet. Everything was so delicious. I don't even like pancakes normally, and gluten free pancakes are even more of a turn off for me, but I saw a table next to us had it and they looked good so we ordered it. They weren't necessarily fluffy or cakey, but I wasn't mad. The combination of blueberry and lemon sauce and pistachios was exquisite. For $16 for two pancakes (or $20 for 4), it's a little on the pricey side, but I'd come back for these! The date mate salad was also surprisingly good. It had a LOT of chicken. Chicken was alright, but the combo of herby greens, lemon vinaigrette, goat cheese crumbles and dates was amazing. I'm going to try to make this at home. The skillet had a lot of avocado and Hungarian sausage. The tasted bread that came with it was a perfect addition. I liked the tomato saucey eggs. They tasted spiced, but I'm not sure which spices were used. It was good though! Outpost kitchen is a great place for brunch if that's what you're looking for!

    One of the top breakfast spots in Orange County. Service is always excellent and helpful. Breakfast is always delicious and drinks are refreshing. Plenty of seating in door or out and great vibes.

    Shani S.

    Absolutely loved this place! Outpost Kitchen ended up being one of our favorite stops of the whole trip. The vibe is bright, modern, and energetic without feeling chaotic, just a really happy place to sit down and enjoy a meal. We sat outside (November) and it was perfect. The coffee drinks? Incredible. Cocktails? Even better. You can tell they take their beverage game seriously because everything came out balanced, flavorful, and beautifully made. And the food..AMAZING. Fresh, flavorful, and presented like something off a brunch magazine cover. Every plate we saw looked good, and everything we ordered tasted even better. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was great, 100% recommend, good for families, girlfriend get together etc.

    In a word underwhelming. Our group ordered the bestie potato bites which were surprisingly bland, I wish they fluffed up the potato or did something other than halve the potato and layer toppings on it, it was basically a baked potato and not what we expected. One friend ordered the bam bam burrito, a little undersalted but overall decent flavor, for the price she wouldn't order it again. My other friend ordered the ribeye and eggs and she left half her plate, the steak was the thinnest cut, more reminiscent of asada and while she ordered it medium it was very much well done, besides that the flavor didn't make up for the overcook so also a pass from her. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and millionaire bacon. The pancakes were the only star of the entire meal really nice flavor on the pancake itself and the sauces with the pistachio and blueberry toppings were a great accompaniment. The bacon however was flabby and not at all the quality I would expect from a restaurant. The staff when we were being helped were all kind but they scarcely checked up on us and based on where we were seated they didn't pass by often for us to be able to flag anyone down. This resulted in empty drinks the majority of the visit as well as us having to go inside to request the check. It did get busier as our meal progressed but being quick to turn tables becomes more important during that time and we felt mostly ignored, even when it was slower The plates all look gorgeous and while there were other menu options that look intriguing I'm not sure I would go back to try them given the majority of the meal was lackluster and at the end ran $124 which we didn't see the value in based on our experience

    Avocado toast, mimosa flight, Aussie breakfast
    Antoine S.

    Very good food! I eat avocado toast quite a bit, and I would say this is top 3 for me all time! Service was great, super friendly staff and very welcoming. We sat outdoor, but the indoor is super nice too. Parking is kind of tight up front, but they have a structure and they comp the parking. Would recommend for breakfast/brunch!
