Jalapeño and pepperoni
Eve N.

Come hungry! We came in hungry after a day of swimming and ordered the family meal. 2 pizza, 8 pieces of chicken, and mojos! The mojos are perfectly seasoned and crisp. You cannot match this taste anywhere else only Shakey's can make a perfect mojo! The pizza is the best quality of ingredients with perfect consistency with topping and sauce! The service was impeccable and friendly! Just an all around best place to enjoy PIZZA! Vibes are popping! Bring your dollars for the arcade

This is the Shakey's I remember as a kid and am used to in other locations! Hot, fresh, well portioned! Keep this up!! 10/10

They make my favorite pizza
Monique N.

This the best shakeys around. The chicken is always fresh and flavorful. The buffet is always clean and fresh. Always so good. They do special request for pizza for the buffet. The owner is so nice and staff is always helpful.

Pepperoni pizza
P K.

Service was great! Food was as expected. The fried chicken and fries were good! The unlimited salad bar was good as well. It wasn't crowded when we went which was nice. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because out of the 6 high chairs only 1 had a working seat belt and none of them were really clean.

Clean salad bar, at least at dinner time. Fried chicken is surprisingly good. Wings are not sauced, and you have to dress them yourself with tapatio or red hot from the to-go station. Beer was cold, and glasses chilled, although $8 for a regular draft glass. Food is consistent and staff is fairly nice, if not exhausted. It's just getting expensive to eat out here.

Best pizza and best place ever with good and affordable pizza best in brea California and good everywhere

Mojos and Chicken
Jesse C.

This is not my usual Shakey's, but we were in the area and wanted to do the bunch of lunch so decided to give this location a try. The parking lot is a decent size. There are other business in the same shopping complex but it was still easy to find parking right in front. We got there maybe 15 minutes before they opened and there were a few people in line and some people who have already started eating. The cashier in the front, I wish I would have got his name, was super friendly and since we had already seen that there was no pan pepperoni or cheese pizza, for my son, we asked him if we could place an order for those and he happily let the cooks in the back know. Now one issue I had was there was no pizza that was just plain peperoni and cheese it had other items added. You would think at a buffet they would have the most popular items. Yes, we placed an order for what we wanted but still there was really no other options for us or especially my son who is a picky eater. It took about 20 minutes for the pizza we wanted to come out but took about an additonal 10 minutes for my sons cheese to come out. When we asked another worker he told us the cheese pizza was just placed and there were tons of other request in front of us. This was obviously not true as we placed them both at the same time. The first worker who we initial placed the request with saw what was happening and insured us it would be coming up next. He was right as within a few minutes it was out. So again, I wish I would have got the young man's name, but he is what honestly made me change this review from being a 3 star to a 4-star review. As far as seating this location is pretty decently sized. The location I normally go to is a bit bigger, but I did not see anyone struggling to find a seat. There is also a small arcade for the kids. Each game seems to be about $1. This location is a little out of my way, so I don't see myself coming back anytime soon but for a Shakey's bunch of lunch it served its purpose.

Nostalgic--my first plate (several plates)
Jenny C.

It's been a long time since we did the lunch buffet at Shakey's so we decided to try it again for old time's sake. There's plenty of parking spaces as business around Shakey's we're not operating during the weekends. Once you enter, it's a time warp -- same, old 80s look and furnitures looked like it haven't been refreshed. The food bar seems very limited. For a pizza place, the pizza was not as good as expected and not as good as I remember. The fried chickens were not replenished. The quality went down there. The potato wedges were great and as good as I remember. The salad I never bother eating because who has time for that. All in all, it was ok but not great. Some place to go if you can't think of anything better to eat for lunch.

Gross! Don't even waste your time the pizza sucks! The only good thing here is the mojos, so if potatoes are your thing this is your place!

From the past reviews we can see that Alza has an extraordinarily ordinary appearance but don't let…read morethat fool you. The food, the server and the decor are very respectful and handsome. For a weekday lunch I honestly wished that they would have more business because the quality demands it. Not because it's a Michelin grade but because how happy and satisfied I was after the meal. The eggplant parmesan was perfectly prepared, thickness sliced just right and breaded lightly but still has the little crunch one would want. All on a bed of penne pasta and irresistible marinara sauce. The cheese was just right. It's hard to come by eggplant dishes that aren't overly greasy, oily to maintain their moisture and texture but Alza Osteria have done it! Olive tapenade was so yummy to start with and the sliced baguette, though simple, it's toasted with olive oil and accompanied the artichoke+olive mixture delivered to your mouth on a crispy slice. One thing I wished they had was un-decaffeinated coffee but I'm overlooking it and walking away the fuller person. Also the dessert selection read like mouthwatering dishes I wish I had the stomach for.

We started with a complimentary basket of soft, warm bread followed by an appetizer - olive tapenade ("a blend of marinated artichoke, Spanish, black & kalamata olives, garlic-rubbed crostini"). This was a party for the mouth; the savoriness of each bite was heavenly. For my main dish I ordered cheese ravioli with meat sauce. Initiallly the bowl seemed to have a small serving but in reality I could barely finish it; it filled me up! The ravioli was excellent but what really made it amazing was the deep, delicious flavor of the meat sauce. I imagined some Italian grandma in the kitchen cooking it for days. The prices on the lunch menu are surprisingly fair. More than fair. Which made me love this place even more. Mangia!

It's close…read moreto both colleges, the service is attentive, friendly in a casual setting, you can see their giant orange ball of a wood fire oven and the pizzas, calzones comes out respectably fast enough so if you're hungry, you won't be much longer. The menu offered quite a few vegetarian friendly options which left me with way too many choices, but the tricolore did not disappoint. I was hungry but even if I wasn't I know this would've still be excellent. The tricolore comes with smoked mozzarella and pesto, two things I always wanted on a pizza but never could get as well as additional pine nuts! It wasn't too much or too little. You get a nut every couple of bites to remind you they're still there. Fresh cherry tomatoes and delicious sauce. The crust is baked to a crispy perfection. The Napoli calzone was new to me with the cheesy topping, it was the sandwich pizza you'd always wanted, the size is big but very attainable. Plenty of free parking in the back if you come at the right time. And Italian dessert options if you're craving for more after!

We came here after the Whitney Houston Candlelight concert at the Nixon Library, and what a find!…read moreApparently we weren't the only ones with the same idea -- some other people from the concert were at Terra too and recognized us: "Hey, weren't you just at the Candlelight concert?" My sister originally chose Terra because she saw a picture of one of their salads with salmon and knew immediately that was what she wanted. We had no idea we were about to discover a new favorite restaurant. 10/10 -- I've already bookmarked Terra because I will absolutely be back. When we arrived, we told our server we had never been there before and asked what she recommended. Her descriptions of the food were fantastic, and she steered us toward the wood-grilled peaches with burrata and arugula. Oh. My. Goodness. Absolutely delicious! The grilled peaches, creamy burrata and arugula were such a wonderful combination. Then the salad came out, with salmon added. I took my first bite and was literally speechless. It was an explosion of flavor -- the avocado, salmon, sesame dressing and everything else going on in that salad just worked. The salmon costs extra, but it was absolutely worth it. The peach dish and the salad were completely different flavor experiences, and honestly I would happily order both of them again. We were talking about how we were gonna come back and try to resist ordering the same thing over again, but that will be a challenge. Of course, we were at a wood-fired pizza restaurant, so we HAD to try the pizza. We ordered half-and-half. One side was the fingerling potato pizza, especially after our server told us the story about the owner's daughter wanting fingerling potatoes on her pizza and how that helped inspire the restaurant. Obviously, after hearing that story, we had to try the pizza that started it all! And it did not disappoint. I can definitely see myself ordering that again. The other half was the salami pizza with the honey drizzle. It was supposed to have some heat -- my sister could taste it, although I couldn't -- and the honey made it a really interesting combination. Not something I would normally think to order, but definitely worth trying. I also ordered the citrus agave, thinking it was basically a fancy name for lemonade. It wasn't! Lemon, orange and lime made it much more interesting, with just a slight bitterness from the citrus that balanced the sweetness. Delicious and different. We sat upstairs, where there was a wonderful breeze coming through on a summer evening. The whole atmosphere was charming and relaxed, the service was excellent, and the food was memorable. The biggest surprise? Terra is right near my office, and I never knew it was there. Definitely a 10/10. I came because of a recommendation, and now I'm recommending it to everyone else. I will absolutely be back.

I got a special that they had which was a noodle dish with white sauce and a cut of beef on top. It was very good, 30ish dollars. It was a disappointingly small cut of meat, but it was a delicious dish. The other dish we tried was the beets appetizer, which was fantastic. It sounds kinda weird, but I would highly recommend it. The fish tacos with ono fish were also very yummy. Everything on the menu looks exciting and it keeps you wanting to come back. We wanted to try the pizza, which is one of their specialties, but we will have to come back for that. The interior is nice and it gives the possibility to make it feel like a date night place while still offering a bit of a casual vibe. I would recommend this place for sure. We walked out the door having had 2 entrees and an appetizer for about 95$ after tip, so not too bad if you know coming in.
