Kev O.

This is a nice, pretty good sized, casual diner that appears to be quite popular with locals and regulars.... judging by how friendly and chatty the servers are with many of the customers. I've always liked the diner concept. The way it's so down to earth, casual, and unpretentious. The only thing left for me is the quality of the food, and unfortunately, what we ordered was average at best..... not the best. My wife ordered the Ribeye (medium) with Eggs with a side of hash browns, and I ordered the Chicken Cheddar Melt sandwich with Sourdough and a side of onion rings. My wife's Ribeye was overcooked to well done and tasted very tough and chewy. Fortunately, we mentioned this to our server and she was more than happy to have it redone and suggested it be cooked medium rare, so that it will more likely to then come out medium well. According to my wife, the replacement Ribeye was much better. As for my grilled chicken melt, the chicken meat was quite dry, but I didn't expect a replacement would have done anything seeing how thin the piece was... it was obvious that such a thin piece of chicken breast, so I just sucked it up and ate it as is. I did enjoy the onion rings and side of coleslaw though... these weren't bad. Unfortunately, as much as liked this nice and casual down to earth diner concept and service, the food we ordered was just not very good at all. As such, I don't think we'll be back.

Had one of the best bang for your buck steak and eggs I've ever had here. Ordered the ribeye and it was soooo good. Can't wait to come back. Service is nice too. Extra plus!

Steak and eggs with French fries. Bacon extra crispy and sourdough toast

We enjoy coming here. Each time we come they provide impeccable service even though they are extremely busy. They have a great selection of breakfast foods and lunch items. The place is clean and can be a bit loud with it being so busy. They have their own parking lot as well. I enjoy their steak and eggs with sourdough toast. Since their homefries have veggies and onions in them I get French fries instead. I also order a side of crunch bacon. Hubby tries something different each time we come. He enjoys their scrambles, French toast and other items. Their food is always tasty and their prices are reasonable. They can get quite busy on the weekends so you might have to wait to be seated. Definitely a great selection to bring the family and seating for groups as well. We will continue to visit often. Be sure to check their hours as they are only open for breakfast and lunch.

One of our favorite local breakfast diners! This place is so cozy and has a charming old school diner vibe. Service and staff is always great. I believe it is a family owned business. Their menu is extensive and offers a lot of different options. I tried the chili verde omelette and the sauce was good and the carnitas were very tender. My boyfriend had the clubhouse triple decker and he enjoyed it. Their portion sizes are really big as well. Our usual favorites from here are the country fried steak (so so good!), the waffles or pancakes, and their country breakfast. Overall, this diner is solid and would highly recommend for a comforting breakfast spot.

Veggie omelette with biscuits and gravy

Vegetarian omelette no cheese no onion add green chiles w/biscuit and gravy for the win. Top 3 omelette of all time! Service is great. Not sure why this place isn't packed anytime of day. Well done Suzy!

Great find. Great food, great service. Clean, friendly and delicious. I ordered the waffle combo, all bacon, gravy on my hash brown and strawberries on top of my waffle. It was delicious!

French toast & side of eggs. Belgian waffle & side of bacon

This lil mom & pop dinner is the best. The food is always delicious and hits the spot. The staff are amazing. With a quaint atmosphere and great food is always a wonderful experience.

You'd think multi billion dollar corporations would have the wherewithal to tape up their coffee drink hole....nope!  But Suzy's does!

Artist Village Cafe: Birthday Breakfast Review…read more Formerly The Den, and before that the OG Gypsy Den, Artist Village Cafe has some serious Santa Ana history and apparently we brought all that history with us because the wait was LONG. We came in for a birthday breakfast and eventually got our food... emphasis on eventually. I went with the avocado toast + sunny-side-up egg, someone else ordered the breakfast sandwich with fruit which was served with grilled peach that we mistook for potatoes (yum). Everyone else went for the breakfast burrito, so we basically covered the breakfast menu. The verdict? Food was okay. Portions were pretty standard: not skimpy, but definitely not "I need a nap after this" generous. The churro latte, though? Yummy! That one understood the assignment. The dirty horchata was just okay, nothing to write home about. Overall, a cute spot with plenty of character and nostalgia, but the long wait made it hard to get overly excited about the meal. Maybe we caught them on a slow morning but at 8:30am we were the first ones to arrive ... but maybe breakfast just needed to marinate a little longer. Would I go back? Probably but next time, I'm ordering the churro latte first. and make sure you don't need to be anywhere afterwards.

Native Son is a solid 4/5 stars…read more Parking is easy to access in the garage behind the building. They don't validate, but the 1st hour is free. To locate the restaurant, go up the stairs on the side. Happy hour is every day, 4-6PM The drinks are good and they have a good selection of beers and cocktails. You order at the bar and the service is quick. The food, however, is underwhelming. Regular fries are not great but the Cajun fries are better. Fries are enough to feed 2-3 people. The chicken tenders on the other hand are very small, and you get more sauce than chicken. The good thing about it is that the food was cheaper during happy hour. Some of the chairs/benches were uncomfortable, but overall, sitting outside is nice.

I grabbed a blonde (#3 on tap) and it was smooth, refreshing, and perfect after a long, stressful Friday at work being short-staffed and drowning with patients. Came in just needing to decompress--met up with a friend, grabbed a booth, and just chilled. The whole place has a very laid-back, local vibes, rooftop. Nothing over-the-top, just good energy and a spot where you can actually sit and talk. I didn't try the food this time, but I asked someone at the bar and they said it's really good--so that's definitely next on my list. Parking is right behind the spot in a structure, which was super convenient. First hour is free, then about $1.75 after that, but no validation--so just plan ahead. I kept it quick since I wasn't trying to turn one drink into a $15 parking night for just one beer. Bartenders were friendly and attentive--they checked in, cleared our glasses, and let us do our thing. No pressure, just good service. Overall, it's a chill, local hangout with solid beer and a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be back--next time for the food and a longer stay. Oh btw, One of the bartenders did confirm that they have happy hour all day on Mondays, I'll be back on a Monday.

Wow what a disappointment. Been coming since it opened and it has changed. The last time we visited…read moreit wasn't as good and last night was worse. We ordered our food and watched it sit under heat lamps for a while. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. The server was chatting with other employees while we waited for the food. The fries weren't ready the same time as the burgers. We ordered 2 burgers (one med rare and one medium) and a steak frites. The food arrived and the burgers were over cooked - beyond well done. Just grey meat. Both cooked the same temperature. The $35 steak was also half over cooked and half rare. You could see there wasn't a chef cooking Ike they used to have. It was two guys who the server had to speak Spanish to place the order. They didn't seem to understand when she went back to tell them the food wasn't cooked properly. This place charges over $20 a burger. It isn't a diner. So why cut back on the most important part- the chef. When we used to visit he would come out and say hello and make sure food was good. This time there wasn't even a manager there to speak to us about the issues. The server tried to apologize and said it was out of her control. It's crazy how the prices remain high but service and food are worse. We used to really like this place. Hopefully someone does something. Most people coming in just went to the bar. It's really too bad. We really liked coming here.

I'm a huge French toast combo for breakfast guy so I barely had to look at the menu. I ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon . The food was good, everything tasted fresh and was served hot. We were a group of 8 and our server did a good job of bringing everyone's food out hot. I prefer this method of service to waiting until every plate is ready and bringing everything to the table at once, especially with larger groups. This way everyone gets their food hot and fresh. Id definitely return, prices were reasonable, service was friendly, and it's a nice little mom and pop type of diner / restaurant.

Just left this place and mind you I've been eating at different locations of the pan for years…read more(shoutout Long Beach) but was on an errand this morning and wanted to breakfast so I came to this location as it was nearby. The low stars are solely based on service & the two stars are generous considering my husband liked his dish & I liked his as well. Ordered the chilaquiles which is a dish I ALWAYS order at the other location but the sauce/chips tasted rancid, like it was cooked in old oil. I also got carne asada which tasted sour & old (those who eat asada know exactly what I'm talking about). I asked my husband to go up discreetly to let them know & if I could switch out my dish (I would've but I lost my voice from being sick). I even had my husband try my dish thinking my taste buds might be off but he said the same. The server comes over a little hostile and says "so what burrito do you want." & of course it's not like I have their menu stored in my head so I'm like what do you guys have? & he proceeded to give me the menu & as I'm picking the most basic burrito he proceeds to state "the chilaquiles is one of our best selling dishes" like he was offended over our discreet comment over it. I tried to say "this is what I order all the time it's just off" but of course I can't get it out so he takes the order & walks off. Comes back with my burrito later and goes "hope it's more to your liking". Moments later he checked on the table next to us & saw they didn't eat one of their dishes & loudly said "do you not like your dish?" So of course at this point I've lost my appetite cause if you had a comment to say you should've said it straight up and not passive aggressively making comments as such. Such a weird customer service approached as I'm not asking for anything to be comped, I paid for our meal and left tip. Of course lowest percentage that was offered. It could've been a great tip if he just simply switched out my dish and not be passive aggressive about it. He should also make sure that his customers don't understand Spanish before he goes off speaking it. Long story short, don't get their chilaquiles and if you don't like a dish don't mention it either.
