    That big round donut on the building.
    Cor V.

    It is almost high noon and we were driving on Harbor Blvd when I saw the giant circle of a donut on the building. The lovely missus has been here before. Randy's Donuts!! We must stop and get some for an afternoon snack. We enter the store and see a display case with layers and rows of colorful morning sweetness. It is a challenge for sure. The lemon coated and the plumpy round Raspberry filled were her favorites. I'm going for the mound of an Apple Fritter. It was an easy sale for the friendly gentleman behind the counter. The missus got her purse out and she paid a very fair amount for the fresh and large tasty donuts. It was a big box that we carried out. Randy's Donuts was a super stop for huge "Texas" size snacks and that sugar coated Apple Fritter was exactly what I needed this afternoon.

    Got donuts and a drink. Both were good. I love these donuts. Way better than Dunkin and Krispy because they take days to get stale. They are very soft and the price is great. Took 2 stars off because I didn't like the dude at the counter and he didn't ask if I was rewards and said it's too late to get them; Maybe next time.

    Donuts made me the person I am today!

    It's incredibly handy to have a drive-through donut place. Really like the freshness of Randy's donuts and the staff are very helpful. The prices are on the high side, but also their donuts are pretty big, so I do want to recognize that. Please note, they do not sell iced tea. Iced coffee, yes, but no iced tea.

    Greeted upon entering and wasn't sure if the taste would be the same as the other locations but it was and so yummy! Randy's donuts are high quality and the best maple moist but yet slight fresh crunch of a donut that other places just cannot replicate. The staff was friendly as I took my time to choose 3 dozen donuts for a party. The location is quite new and clean. It even has a section to sit and enjoy your donuts and coffee.

    You won't believe how excited I am about this place! We were in the area, so we just had to stop and grab some donuts. We ended up with six donutsand let me tell you, everything about this spot was fantastic. The ambiance was great, the service was spot-on, and the donuts? Incredible! They're definitely bigger than what you'd find at most donut shops, and the pricing reflects that, but they're absolutely worth it. And the roasted coffee was out of this world -- truly outstanding, good flavor. Plus, there was plenty of parking, and the whole establishment was super clean. If you've never tried them, you absolutely must give them a try! You won't regret it.

    First time at this location. I haven't been to a Randy's in many years and it was the Original in Inglewood. Nice selection considering it was laye in the morning. Donuts are fresh and tasty! The staff, Arts was very friendly and welcoming. This location isn't close by but I go to Costa Mesa at least once a month. Definitely will go again!

    Huge thanks and shout out to RD at Randy's Donuts. Appreciate the generosity and genuine care you have for the community.

    Huge shout out to RD at Randy's Donuts in CM. Super appreciate your generosity and genuine support of the community. Best post game victory celebration.

    This was the first Orange County location for Randy's, the LA donut shop, but since its opening, there have been a couple more that were opened up here in OC. It's definitely a great donut choice with lots of options. My favorites are their old-fashioned buttermilk, and Apple Fritters. They are the best over anywhere else!

    Honestly, there's nothing really special here. Your local mom-and-pop serving doughnuts in pink boxes probably makes tastier ones. But Randy's glazed and yeast-raised is always fluffy一 just the way I like it. Their Costa Mesa location has a 25 foot doughnut on the roof to pay homage to the original Inglewood shop. They also have a drive-through. Choose from a large variety of classic choices, deluxe doughnuts, fancy fritters, and premium pastries. The menu is pretty consistent over the years, but I saw they offer matcha drinks and boba now. Chocolate Raised and Maple Raised are also two simple and sweet options you can't go wrong with. The dough is kind of bready, but not dense at all. Butter Crumb Raised is heavenly but messy to eat, fair warning. Pick up a box before you visit the office or stop by for a late-night snack!

    For our first time being at a Randy's donuts, we were pleasantly surprised my husband really liked the maple long john! He usually says the frosting is too thick at other donut shops, but Randy's is perfect, haha! Their General Manager, RD, was so friendly and accommodating with offering his recommendations. We will definitely be coming back for the churro donut!

    I found Randy donuts while I was going to another restaurant. Stop by and order a chocolate chip cake donut. I ordered it through the drive thru. The donut was delicious and very soft. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. Drive thru ambiance is very customer friendly.

    Our guilty pleasure. Yum!

    Just left Randy's drive thru and from the first impression to the last, Nick was phenomenal. His professional funny personality was so welcoming and just so fun. My husband and I just wanted a Texas donut to share so we popped in and we were so happy we did. He said something we've never heard before. . He said, "do you want the evidence?" Meaning the receipt. So witty. Fyi- we're coming back, and if he gives us the same great service, we may try and recruit him.

    Apple Fritter, Chocolate Raised, Pink Raised with Sprinkles
    Kiara S.

    The BEST! Their dough is so soft, fluffy and delicious. Some of our favorites are apple fritters, cookies and cream, raised sprinkles and chocolate raised. Their cookies and cream donuts are the only cookies and cream donuts I know with real oreos blended into the frosting. The apple fritter is bigger than my head and perfectly crispy on the outside while maintaining an ooey gooey center. The service has always been great at this location. Ardy is an absolute gem! If you go later in the day, they very likely may be out of some of our favorites, but they still have a plentiful variety of other delicious fried goods.

    $50 worth of sugar, dough, and frosting. Worth it? Mostly, yeah.

I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch. The meat is more of a very thin piled high but there is a lot of it! I like how the sub is assembled meat, cheese, toppings sauce, it seems to hold together nicely.

    This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. When I first started coming to Board and Brew, I would have given it a solid five stars, but my perspective has shifted after six years of exploring other local options in the county. The Evolution of the Experience: * Ingredients: While the food is definitely better than a pre-made deli sandwich from a grocery store, it isn't exactly top-tier. The bread and meat are good, but as you try more specialized places, you realize these are fairly standard. * The Famous Sauce: Their signature sauce is tasty, but it feels like it contains a high amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a neuro-exciter that can make people feel overstimulated or unwell after eating it, and it feels particularly intense in this recipe. * Consistency: Both the Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa locations were great initially, but they now feel more like a solid, middle-of-the-road option. The Best Use Case: * Catering & Events: Even with a three-star rating, this is absolutely the place I would go if I needed catering for a birthday party or a large event. Their pricing and preparation for bulk orders are hard to beat. Final Thoughts: If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5. It's a reliable, solid sandwich shop, but the ingredient quality and the intensity of the MSG in the sauce keep it from being a five-star favorite for me anymore. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes
