Paul's Place, you make really good, fresh and real zuchinni sticks. They are a tad bit greasy but otherwise good. And finally a place that makes a real nice and thick ranch dressing. Other places nowadays make it so watery you almost have to drink it, but then that's not proper etiquette. Keep up the good work. read more

Always good! Best Burger in town! You can taste the quality! Friendly staff. Whenever I'm in town, I always stop and eat here! read more

Look, I love this place. It's probably 4-5 stars easy every time I go. But this morning, I just wanted my usual breakfast burrito for the morning on the weekend. The person before me placed an order for $415. I am next and told that it would be 30-40 minutes before I would be served. I asked, even for just a breakfast burrito? She confirmed with the kitchen that they would not be able to slot my simple breakfast burrito in before this gigantic order. Now, I get that you probably want to fulfill orders in the order they come in. I wouldn't really care if I had to wait 15 minutes if there were three families in front of me. But you let someone place an order for 20+ people that comes out to $400+ dollars and you can't find a way to slot in a breakfast burrito? You're going to turn away all business for 30-40 minutes because you can't have a kitchen work on multiple tickets at a time and get a small order out in the middle of a giant one? That's piss poor management and it's just downright disrespectful for people who might come after this giant order. I'll likely update my review in the future after I get more of their great fried zucchini and breakfast burritos as I go here quite often, but for now you have to stew in your 1-star for the horrible customer service and lack of proper kitchen management. read more

The onion rings here are the BEST so crunchy and perfectly fried. Same goes for fried zucchini

Love this breakfast selection. Wanted breakfast before going to work. The sausage portion was plenty and the eggs prepared the way I like it. Generous portion of hash brown that I could not finish it. This is a local hang out. The cashier knew the regulars coming in and the service was great. read more

So disappointing when we get nickeled and dime. You spend $15 on a pastrami sandwich and they want you to pay $.75 for one single ranch. Was it worth losing a customer? read more

My wife and I have driven past that location more than a thousand times and said "Someday". Yesterday (09/10) was that day. It is an attractive decor and the AC works, very important yesterday. Order at the counter from an extensive, multi-ethnic menu. I got a Gyro plate with onion rings and Susan got a pastrami sandwich and both were huge and extremely good. The onion rings rank among the best I've ever had anywhere and I'm a big onion ring fan. I guarantee you it won't be another 23 years before we return. read more

Another local favorite and part of our food rotation. It's definitely worth it and the food never disappoints. We usually order takeout and pickup within 20 minutes. I always order the garden burger combo, no onions or tomatoes, add pickle and extra sauce! The veggie patty is so hearty, delicious and filling. You can actually see the veggies in the garden patty. I wonder if they are homemade or ordered, either way they are top notch. The hubby orders various plates, but really enjoys the gyro and pastrami. When we do dine in, the service is good, fast and the dining room is spacious and clean. read more

Best club sandwich I've had in Orange County. I mean it's a pretty basic sandwich but there's a lot of components. Paul's doesn't just slap all the pieces together. Someone actually cared making this sandwich and the portion size is large. Well done! read more

I'm sorry I use to love this place I would get a carne asada burrito and the first time it was amazing, then three times after that and each time it got worse and worse. First time some tendons, the second time more tendons, the third time my whole burrito was full of tendons absolutely disgusting I threw half of it away because I was sick of pulling them out my mouth, definitely a race thing the Hispanic man making the burrito always give me a nasty look, it's cool never going to come back read more

Very solid burgers. They are HUGE and nostalgic bc they remind me of a backyard burger at a family party. best onion fries ive had so far. Very cozy place and fast service. Im definitely coming back again read more

Paul's Place is one of those rare spots that immediately feels right the moment you walk in. It has that classic diner comfort, but everything here feels just a little more refined. The space is spotless and cozy, the lighting is warm, and there's a quiet sense of pride in how it's all kept up. You can tell from the first few minutes that the people who run this place care. The food is what keeps you coming back. The hamburger is incredible, perfectly cooked with a real sear on the outside, juicy on the inside, and stacked on a bun that actually holds together. Everything about it feels intentional, from the fresh produce to the sauce that ties it all together. It's the kind of burger that reminds you why simple food done well always wins. Then there's the zucchini, which might honestly be the best I've ever had. Perfectly thick cut, lightly crisp, seasoned just right, with a layer of grated parm, and never greasy. It's one of those sides that ends up stealing the show. That level of attention carries through everything on the menu. The ingredients taste fresh and thoughtfully sourced, and there's a level of consistency that makes every bite feel deliberate. What really surprised me, though, was the staff. There are a lot of younger people working here, but they're not just punching the clock. They're genuinely cheerful, polite, and attentive. They greet you with a smile, check in without hovering, and seem to take real pride in what they do. It's refreshing to see that kind of energy, especially when so many restaurants struggle with service lately. The prices are reasonable for the quality you get. You could easily spend twice as much elsewhere and not eat half as well. It's comforting to know you can enjoy excellent food without it feeling like a "special occasion" splurge. Everything about Paul's Place feels honest and welcoming, like a restaurant that knows who it is and stays true to that identity. It's the kind of place that quickly becomes a go-to. You can drop in for a casual lunch, meet friends for dinner, or bring family and know everyone will leave happy. Between the great food, the spotless dining room, and the genuinely kind staff, it checks every box. Even the other customers are really nice. People always smile at you. The food must facilitate happy feelings! Paul's Place isn't just good; it's thoughtful, consistent, and run with heart. The food speaks for itself, but it's the people behind it who make the difference. If you're anywhere near Orange, stop in. You'll understand why everyone keeps talking about it. read more

I was craving this place after the last time I came. That time my burger was juicy and hot and delicious. This time, well, sad is an understatement. The patty was thin, dry, and could be used as a doorstop. The zucchini is always solid, so won't give this place low stars, but holy hell, I won't be craving a burger again. The bacon was cooked great, though. Brightside? Idk, but stick to the sides. The onion rings looked super good and hot. read more

Amazing fried zucchini, Pauls California burger and meat lovers breakfast burrito. I always want to try other items but these three are out of this world. read more

Food is good but on the expensive side. Have gone several times and I love the fried mushrooms and zucchini.

The only thing I regret about Paul's Place is that it took me this long to try it. The restaurant's interior is the same of most diner style restaurants- welcoming and cozy. But it was the menu that made me realize I made the right decision to step in. The menu is split into American brunch and Mexican food. Hot dogs, burgers, burritos, salads, and tacos are abundant. I got the Carne Asada Burrito to play it safe and paired it with sweet potato fries. I'm glad I did, because it means I'm coming back to try everything else! The serving of the burrito was generous. Meat and beans with every bite, what more could one ask for? Sweet Potato Fries were sweet. They were also potatoes. And they were cut into fries. You get what you ask for in this case, and I'm glad I did. Zucchini fries? The crunch from the outside paired with the texture of the zucchini is an interesting but welcome experience. I suggest it. The staff offered salsa and large servings of ranch with the food, all of which were great additions to the already flavorful dishes I tried. I don't know Paul personally, but I'm glad I went to his place. Maybe if I meet him one day I can invite him to my place and he can teach me how to make good food, too. read more

I have driven past this place many times and was curious how it was. I finally dropped in on a Wednesday for lunch. The parking was a bit tight. The restaurant was busy but not full. We ordered at the counter. The wait to order was short. The service staff were fast and efficient. We found a booth and waited for our order. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were okay. There was a water leak in the men's room that made the floor wet in one area. The restaurant was decorated nicely. It had a nice diner vibe. The noise level was okay, We ordered a Junior Burger, a Bacon Burger Combo and a side of French Fries. Our granddaughter requested the Hamburger Kid's Meal with Apple Juice. Our order was ready rather quickly. All the food came out hot. The Bacon Burger and Junior Burger tasted good. Both were flavorful and were well dressed. The buns were good. The fries were just okay. Not great but not bad. The granddaughter loved her meal. She ate over half of the hamburger (pretty good for her age). She ate all of her fries and part of mine. The portions on the Kid's meal were generous. The added bonus were the two lollipops that came with. This meal was in a kid friendly paper bag. The price was a bit up there but that's pretty much standard at most burger places. read more

It's so good! The guy at the front was super nice too. The zucchini is just delicious! Casual old school place. No fuss. Recommend if you want easy but tasty! read more

I used to live by a Paul's Place and always loved their menu. Some friends came to visit and wanted to bring Paul's! I was super excited and everything was as delicious as I remember! Frankly, I don't even remember the double burger being this good! The zucchini was as wonderful as ever! Even a simple grilled cheese somehow is better than everywhere else! read more

Excellent food, excellent service, a small quaint little place to grab some good food. We will be back again

My go to place for breakfast burritos. Great consistent taste! The service is also great!

Good food, they have really good everything. I just wish their burgers would be a little bit warmer. The burgers are really good but every time I go, I get a cold burger. I've even asked for well done and I still get it cold. Their chicken burger is amazing. Their pancakes are amazing. They even have Horchata. They have Mexican candy grilled hot peppers. I frequently weekly. Ambience is laid-back chill homie read more

The food has gone considerably less tasteful. There seems to be an over abundance of sodium added , unnecessarily to almost every meal.

Its hard to find a place that's consistent in what they do and won't break the bank. Pauls place is my go to for good reasonably priced food. Some favorites are the grill cheese, club sandwiches and zucchini's are to die for. read more

Called in on the way there for a to-go order. Sat on hold for 9 min, literally walked in the door , no one in line and ordered my food while on hold. I told the lady I was on hold for a to-go order. She either wasn't amused or didn't care. No empathy, no concern, just an hourly employee there for her shift.. too bad, the food is really good. read more

Picked up a food phone order yesterday afternoon. Solid food with even better service. We ordered their Blue Bacon Burger, Chili Dog, Bowl of Chili, and Mushroom Cheeseburger. Everything was delicious and the lady working the front register was beyond amazing. She was super friendly and sweet. This was our first time trying Paul's Place and we will definitely be coming back. Another big plus is they have really good Orange Bang, which is a hidden gem drink find at most places now. Give Paul's Place a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This is a great joint to get some good food and amazing customer service. A+! read more

I absolutely love Paul's. Everything about it. Seriously! The milkshakes are my favorite - I go back and forth between the peanut butter cup and butterfinger milkshakes and they always hit. I don't know what they put in their tuna but Paul's has my favorite tuna sandwich. I always order it on sour dough which is toasted (perfection) and comes loaded with tuna. I didn't get a picture but the Fried Zucchini Strips and onion rings are so crispy, delicious and tasty! No meal is complete without them. AND NEVER FORGET YOUR SIDE OF RANCH!!!!! The zucchini strips and ranch could be a meal in themselves. The staff are always nice, friendly, and patient. The food comes out quickly and is always hot and expertly cooked. I appreciate the indoor and outdoor seating options especially with kids. It's nice to sit out on the patio where the kids can be a little louder and not bother anyone and it's an added bonus you can see the trains go by from the patio. Paul's has my heart and I will continue bringing my family as often as I can! read more

Came here for breakfast this morning and I don't think I will be back. - Waited 38 mins for lukewarm eggs and hashbrown. The toast was also cold. - Place wasn't busy and it felt very warm inside. - Most of the tables were dirty. This place has sure changed. Something tells me management isn't paying attention and the owners are cutting corners. Avoid this place, not worth the wait or the cold food. read more

Yes, this place is great. No frills but great prices and good portion size. Always easy to order and great places to sit. Highly recommend

Sometimes the people who take the orders are very slow and many times, they don't have enough people to help one person will be on the phone. The other one is getting orders out. read more

While the food is still very good - the interior is really not clean. I am so surprised to see trash and food bits on the floor, tables not cleared and just a general sense that it isn't being cleaned well. I've come here recently and had cold Fries too, but when I took them to the counter they replaced them with fresh and hot ones. Overall it is okay but I think the management needs to do a thorough cleaning, including the bathrooms. read more

Food was great!!! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I was unaware it was double but I ended up eating most of minus a few bites. It was a lot of food! I also for the twister fries aka curly fries. My son got the pulled pork sandwich & really enjoyed it. This place has a huge menu & there is something for everyone. I will definitely be back & try something different. There is plenty of seating inside to enjoy your meal. Nice friendly staff I recommend you stop & give it a try. read more
