Cool place as long as you can find it and find parking. It has a neat setting including a bar for a sip of your favorite beverage. Give it a try. read more

Had the pleasure of Elena as my server, and the food and service was amazing! The ambiance was inviting, the food and drinks came out quick and were delicious, but our server really made our night special. She helped us celebrate an engagement, and was very personable with us. She's a gem! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon. read more

I used to come here often when I lived in Old Town Orange and I preferred the Streamliner side when Ruby's was here. (As it was usually quieter from a family perspective.) Dad and I saw that Streamliner took over the whole space and decided to visit for lunch while packing my place up before a move. The decor didn't change too much, but there is the addition of the sport team flags in places, which give it more of a sports bar location. A guy behind the counter on the former Ruby's side encouraged us to sit anywhere we wanted, so we picked a mid-height high top table by the windows on the bar side. Food and drinks were similar to Ruby offerings with a couple of more upscale additions. I'm pretty sure the burgers are bigger than the Ruby ones but the flavors were good. Dad had the chicken sandwich, which he said was delicious. Prices are little higher than when Ruby's split the restaurant, but I think they weren't too crazy expensive. Wait staff were a little sparse that day, but it was a week day going on lunch time, probably not a peak dining period for them. The guy who waited on us was nice and tried to make sure we were all set throughout the experience. In terms of parking, they have their own small lot. If in the off chance it's full, there is a public structure a few blocks up that services all of Old Town Orange. Additionally, you could find a surface lot to park in. read more

The food is great and there is only one person serving each HALF of the restaurant so respect. The vibes are great. -Review written by 9 year old boy read more

Wasnt sure to expect when we first got there, but saw that they had great reviews, so had to give it a try. Their sandwiches were great. Crunchy but soft bread, as contradictory as that sounds. 10/10 ill be going there again. read more

Solid diner in Old Town Orange. Streamliner is located in an old train station, with a quaint atmosphere. They have a fairly small menu for a diner type restaurant but the food is of pretty good quality, particularly for breakfast - nothing fancy, but good solid food. Service is friendly, but they seem a bit understaffed at times. read more

On a Saturday afternoon, we had 20 hungry water polo players and all the parents, needing a late lunch around 2pm. Our next deck time was 4 pm and we let them know our window. Having called ahead, Victor set us all up in large room, 2 long tables, and had our orders taken and delivered with time to eat it and get back to the pool. The food hit the spot, great sandwiches, large portions, and friendly and helpful staff. Parking was easy, which is great because this is just past a busy roundabout filled with people and restaurants. Thanks Victor, we all appreciate you and your staff and will go back. read more

Every year on our anniversary, hubby, and I make the trek down to La Jolla to dine at our favorite anniversary restaurant overlooking the Bay. This year, with so much going on in our lives, we decided to go someplace closer. Hubby always comes up with brilliant ideas, and so we jumped on the Metrolink to take the peaceful train ride to the old Orange Depot to try out this restaurant that took the place of Ruby's, which closed down sometime ago. So, good news and bad news. First, the good news. We were seated right away, our server was attentive, and the food was yummy. Hubby had a Cheeseburger and I had the Brie Burger. My burger could have had a tad more melted brie, and the apricot jalapeño chutney was a bit sweet, but all in all, it was a delicious burger served lettuce wrapped as I requested. Now for the bad news. Although the new owners kept the train, which travels the restaurant on a shelf above the dining room, it wasn't working. Sad, but true. We love trains. read more

Great food, fun ambience and super cool staff. Victor is the best always our favorite server/bartender. Try the peanut butter shake YUM!

The proprietors put on a private buffet dinner for my niece's graduation celebration. Al and his cooks and wait staff provided a beautiful buffet and set up extra tables outside for our large party. This is a beautiful old cafe with a western theme with a restaurant on one side and a cozy bar on the other side (you can also order food on the bar side.) The wait staff were friendly and efficient and would bring out more food as the buffet emptied. The restaurant was very clean and parking was plentiful Highly recommended.. read more

This restaurant and bar, that was formerly a Ruby's, has settled in nicely as a casual local hangout. The menu is pretty much the same it has been with some items upgraded compared with the Ruby's version. The bar has a number of events like bands and trivia in the evening. The bar is solid with a nice selection of craft beer. read more

Delicious food. Prompt, friendly service. (Thank you Victor). Ambience of America past. Definitely going back.

We had breakfast here a few weeks ago for the first time. This was previously a Ruby's location. The food was great. Everything was fresh and tasty. I felt like the portions were adequate however, my husband felt like it wasn't quite enough. The waiter that helped us was superb and on it. I really love the ambience going on inside! It's a casual environment, with old-time nostalgia. They have a bar area which I would love to try one evening. We will be back and hope to have the same experience we did on our first. read more

So apparently this place used to be the old Ruby's in Orange. Now it is a little cafe that offers live music and bar typed food. I came here on a Friday night with some friends. Luckily, the band that was playing this night was featuring all the cool music from the 80's. Definitely a blast from the past. You were able to dance because there is a small dance floor in front of band so you can definitely burn off the calories from the food you just ate. Our waitress was pretty good and she brought us our food pretty quick. I ordered a basic cheeseburger, but I was a little full from the previous night at the Roaring 20s Yelp party so didn't get to finish my food. My friend ate a piece and she loved it. It is your typical bar food so nothing special. There are two areas so if you want to sit somewhere much more quiet, you can request the right side of entrance. You will be away from the bar and live music. But come on, what is better than enjoying your beer and some food? They have an outdoor patio that faces the band so on a hot summer night this is the best place to be. You get the faint breeze and can cool off with your cold beer. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Streamliner Lounge continues to be a neighborhood gem with great food and awesome and extremely attentive service, and the place doesn't disappoint! The bartenders are super nice and welcoming. The servers always get the order correct. Other than being at a game in person, there is no better way to watch a game. The crowd is very friendly, and the big screens and 2 other tvs on the wall are placed strategically so there is no bad seat in the house. The food is so tasty and the drinks are superb. Today I decided to try the avocado toast and ordered a cup of my usual vegetable soup, mmm. The avocado toast came with a delicious side salad, nice and fresh. Keep up the good work Streamliner! read more

The food is good. But the price is now insane. It did not used to be so expensive. I know the cost of things have gone up but the cost of toast shouldn't be $5! Also coffee is $5, like straight up black coffee. You are definitely paying a premium here now. You can eat dinner somewhere else cheaper than you can have breakfast here. All that to say it's decent but NOT worth what you pay now. read more

I first discovered this location from the official Ruby's Instagram account in 2021. It immediately caught my attention and I added this to my to do list of places to visit. In the photos shared on the Ruby's account the train was running, the Ruby's sign was out front, and workers were shown in the traditional Ruby's uniforms. So when I finally had a chance to come check this place out I immediately thought I was in the wrong place. There was no longer any Ruby's signage outside, the train wasn't running, employees were in all black and there wasn't a single milkshake listed on the menu. My husband went back to the host stand to verify that we were in the right place and asked about the milkshakes. They said just ask you server for the flavors. It seems to still be somewhat of a Ruby's as my favorite sandwich, the BLTA, was on the menu but it just felt so odd. Like they don't want to be associated with Ruby's? I'm not really sure what the story is there. We asked our server about the milkshakes and it sounds like there's 10+ options, and they range from 5.99-6.99 depending on if it's considered a speciality or not. However, since they aren't on the menu you wouldn't know the pricing before you get the bill unless you ask. I love the look of this place but without the train running it didn't seem to have the atmosphere or ambiance that I had anticipated. I asked my server when the train runs but she said it hasn't worked in years. 5/5 on the food, but I'd go to a different Ruby's in the future as there was nothing special about this one to me. Though I can see that it was probably a more special place even just a few years ago. read more

First time eating here. Our server was delightful!Enjoyed a few items on the happy hour menu on a Friday. Did I mention Our server was delightful? Ok, first Our tacos although eye pleasing and very tasty needed just a splash of tapatio to send it over the top. Sliders and fries were also delicious however a little type of slaw would send it over the top. Cauliflower bites as good as they were the dipping sauce took a lot of the sunshine away from them my taste buds were yearning for a more exciting dipping sauce to send it over the top. All in all yummy to our tummy. read more

Thank you Victor for reminding me why I like coming here. Food and company are always great!

Yesterday, six friends and I came to Orange to tour the Hilbert Museum. Afterwards, after looking at the menu, we decided on lunch here. The restaurant is like stepping back in time--it has been beautifully preserved! Everything we ordered was over the top delicious. Victor, our server and bartender, was very pleasant and attentive. Definitely will be back! read more

I am very sad that Ruby's is gone. We used to come here for breakfast all the time. On a recent trip here we discovered that it closed and became Streamliner Lounge. We had a very poor experience eating here. My overall impression is that the staff is overwhelmed and perhaps it's not managed as good as it could be. Not sure if they have some growing pains with the transition. First we had to wait an incredibly long time to be seated, even though the place was mostly empty. Obviously they didn't have enough staff to handle the demand. Our server mostly ignored us and got orders wrong, which also took a very long time. All our food was bland and not exciting. The menu options were pretty standard and not really anything to write home about. The only thing this place has going for it currently is the location, which if you have kids, is still cool to eat while watching the trains. If it wasn't for the location I would give it two stars. read more

Service was terrible. Took about 10 minutes just to ask if I wanted a menu. Once i had told waiter my order, the food came. The food was very oily, and had no flavor. Not once while I was eating did the waiter come see if I needed anything or if I was ready for the bill. read more

I've been coming to this location since it was Ruby's Diner!!! I have been bringing my grandson here since he showed an interest in trains!!! Unfortunately the trains that run thru the restaurant was not working today, but it has been so many other times when we came here. There is new owners and new menu. It's different but the food is still delicious and the staff attentive and accommodating! Making the grandkids feel special with the coloring activities placemats and crayons!! I had the steak sandwich with fries and a soda. The grandkids had Cor dog and burger! They love the fries and apple juice! Altogether a very enjoyable experience!!! read more

Great diner food! Excellent service and I love the old train depot feel of the building and booths! I had the bacon cheeseburger this time. Last time I had the seafood plate. Great both times. read more

They took an old Santa Fe train depot and converted it to a diner. Lots of seating. I judge diners on their bacon cheeseburgers. This place made fantastic ones. Thick, smokey bacon. Fresh beef. Crispy lettuce. Savory everything. Fries were so-so. Only two guys at the grill, but they hustled. All the staff hustled. There was not much of a wait between ordering and receiving the food. Amtrak and Metrolink trains zoom past the restaurant but they are not intrusive. Excellent all around. read more

How did I miss this place before? I use Plaza mufflers around the corner about once a year, so while waiting on my car I'll walk and get some breakfast. So I'm walking down Chapman and just happened to see the banner....hmmmm so I walk in. Cute little old school diner! I had the eggs benedict and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

I went here with 2 other folks and was pleasantly surprised. Customer service was excellent. They brought out the food quickly, waiter checked on us, and helped to keep our friend's birthday celebration a secret. The food was yummy and had good value. It may sound a bit basic, but I had pancakes and sausage. It was perfectly proportioned. I highly recommend this place. read more

Service is always outstanding. It's the perfect spot for a classic breakfast, with fresh real eggs, gluten free options (English muffin was yum!), crispy hashbrowns, and good bacon. They still have the old Ruby's Diner corned beef hash on the menu too! We have never had a bad meal here. The coffee is hot and refilled quickly and there's never a wait for weekday breakfast. read more

I should've turned the car around when I saw an empty parking lot. I thought it was closed but their sign clearly and brightly announced it was "OPEN". There was 7 in my party. 4 kids and 3 adults. The kids were excited cause they couldn't wait to sit down and watch the Amtrak train go by. We stood there waiting for 20 mins. and nobody came to seat us. Instead we were welcomed by: 1. A cook sitting in the cooking area on his phone. 2. A waitress who saw us but flew right past us staring. 3. An employee chatting it up with someone sitting at a table in the bar room. 4. And the absolute silence of a ghost town from days past. I said excuse me, but the employees chose to ignore me. The kids were waiting and asking when were we going to sit. I said when the dead rise on Halloween. I mean, you would too if you entered into what looked like an episode of Ghost Adventures. My son and his wife looked around, but eyes kept getting averted. Maybe they didn't feel like talking to people, or dirtying dishes. Let's be real here, if they're closed then say so and take down the "OPEN" sign instead of ignoring us and hoping that we'd go away. In any case, we left and ate somewhere else that had people eating, cooks working, and waiters waiting, and there was the sound of talking! Wow! read more

To start off we were welcomed with very uncomfortable booths that had trash inside the cracks and had lots of scratches. It took a long time for us to get our drinks and food. I ordered Egg Benedict and it was delicious! We got a great view of trains passing by too! read more
