    Grand Cut: pork belly, bacon jam, aioli, havarti & comte cheese fondue
    Tiffany P.

    I really wanted to love this place after seeing all the hype online, and there were some bright spots! We tried the Grand Cut and Savory burgers. The first few bites were actually pretty promising. Rich, flavorful, and satisfying at first. But as we kept going, the heaviness started to build. The oiliness or fattiness leaking from the fondue made the Grand Cut feel a bit overwhelming. Finishing the burgers ended up being more of a task than something to look forward to. The Onion Rings were good. The Black Truffle Mac & Cheese, though, didn't quite hit the mark for me. Just a very subtle truffle flavor and a bit under-seasoned. Nothing stood out in a big way, and for the price point, I was hoping for something a little more memorable. That said, the service was genuinely great. The staff were super friendly, upbeat, and attentive. One thing to note: the space is pretty tight, and it can get loud. You'll likely hear full conversations from nearby tables, so it's not the most relaxed setting. It didn't quite live up to expectations for me, but I can see why others might enjoy it. I'd maybe come back to try something different.

    Went for brunch and had the best breakfast burritos. Also enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. Everything was absolutely delicious and we can't wait to go back. Staff is always super friendly and attentive. Love the Cut. Wish it was closer to home, but always fun to go on a weekend.

    Review for burrito + gravy Steak burrito $19 It's good, but not $19 good. I've had better for cheaper. I did eat it at home (10 min drive) and the tater tots practically became mashed potatoes inside as they lost their crunch. The amount of steak they had was generous and seasoned well. Not too much of anything so nothing seemed to overpower, but it also didn't make me go wow. I've prolly had a burrito once every 3 weeks while pregnant too lol Gravy Side of gravy costs $2 and it's fine. Nothing too crazy. Service Ordered at the back and it took 15-20 min for my order, but they were also pretty busy. Service was kind.

    Insta Influencers Got Me! I'm glad I tried this place... it felt like my insta-feed wouldn't stop until I tried it... influencer after influencer claiming how great this place was... I finally gave in. Service - really solid... I observed some great treatment towards all the customers and that was fantastic. My service was nice. Refills when needed. Timely service. This is probably picky but they could have gone over the menu a little bit more with me, but I'm sure people also just like to be left alone too. Food - really great for a basic burger! Clearly fresh ground because it wasn't overly dense... soft brioche bun... great cheese! House sauce was solid! Sweet potato fries were excellent. Perfect crisp outside with soft warm inside. Nice atmosphere, comfortable interior... if you like personal space or need/want to have a private conversation it may not be the best spot...if you like eaves dropping then you'll love it! There were clearly some locals as the wait staff took the time to know people's names. I will for sure give them a try again to see if I can bump my review to a 5 for consistency... (4 is my max on a first try because I've been burned before giving a 5 then the next time the spot disappointed... don't want to steer people wrong) Many times the influencers don't live up to the hype... this time they were right... If you like quality and don't mind paying a little bit more for it... this may be your burger spot in Irvine!

    Came here specifically for the breakfast burritos I keep seeing all over social media, and they lived up to the hype. Although they're currently only available during weekend brunch (10am-2pm), that just made it feel more like a treat. On top of that, the bottomless mimosas were a nice surprise bonus and really rounded out the experience. While they're priced a bit higher than your typical breakfast burrito, the Cali steak alone is good enough to keep me coming back to this local spot. The vibe here is one of the highlights. It's laidback and modern with a clean, slightly upscale feel, somewhere between a casual burger joint and a trendy brunch spot. We sat at the bar, which added to the relaxed, social atmosphere, but the service was a mixed bag. The bartender was very friendly, but despite only serving two couples, we didn't get much attention. It seemed he knew the other pair and focused most of his time there. As for the food, the portions are generous. My wife and I each ordered a burrito but ate only half to try to save room for dinner later. Even then, they were still quite filling. What really elevates these burritos above the usual are the crispy tater tots inside; they add texture and flavor in a way that turns a good breakfast burrito into a great one. These are hearty and satisfying the way they should be, but they are priced a bit higher than other breakfast burritos joints in OC. You're definitely paying a premium, but the quality and portion size help justify it. We didn't get a chance to try the burgers this time, but based on how good the breakfast burritos were, we'll definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu. Expectations will be high, but seems like The Cut can make the cut

    Not used to eating gourmet burgers as we are typically an In n Out family but my son and I came here after watching plenty of food reviewers post videos. It's a solid 4 stars. My first bite was juicy and flavorful but I'm just not used to the meat being so fatty and drippy. I understand this is a different type of burger and I went in with that perspective but still prefer a normal burger. It was great nonetheless. We ordered the OG. As you can imagine it was standard OG burger with the standard fixens. Then we also got the Savory which was on the salty savory side with bacon relish and all. Would I go back? Yes. But not a regular spot as i fly that the burger was more unhealthy than a normal night out food in the go burger. The service was great and the restaurant is very well lit and atmosphere was very nice.

    The $40 burger was worth it. But it's definitely a bucketlist item, one and done, don't need to do it again. It is genuine ground steak. Other places claim to have steak burgers, but this here is the real deal. High quality ribeye steak. No fillers. No blends. They want you to experience the purity of it, so it comes essentially plain but with cheese. And it's cooked a perfect medium rare. Delicious! The fries are great too. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap including my favorite Harland Japanese Rice Lager. Nice ambience and great service.

    Came for lunch and there was a chair debacle. We asked for a table for 5 they said sure and sat us at a table for 4. We asked for a chair and they said they would bring it. 5min passed and no chair so we grabbed a chair from an empty table. A waitress then came and asked me to switch chairs because they needed that exact chair from the table we took it from. We said yes, and she brought in an outside chair, which was pretty hot from sitting in the 85 degree heat. After, the table where we took the chair from didn't need the chair because they had a stroller. The waitress took that chair outside....i asked to switch chairs since that table didn't need it. They said they'll look for a chair for me. I ended up just switching the chairs myself again. The situation honestly isn't a huge deal and they apologized but the apology seemed disingenuous so left a bad start to the meal. Food Ordered fried chicken and gravy burrito 3/5. Good but dry. I wish it came with a side of gravy as well as i drowned the burrito in salsa and ketchup

    Stopped in for dinner during restaurant week. Shout out to Melanie, our server. Super nice, and accommodating. Food was pretty good, tots and fries were crispy and tasty. We appreciated that the tots were not drowning in cheese - just the right amount. The Marrow & Raclette was our least favorite, though. Just felt greasy. Few beers on tap, the Harland Japanese with Yuzu was nice and refreshing.

    All the food is delicious but the prices are a bit steep in my opinion. Their burgers and chicken sandwich was delicious but I wish it came with a side instead of being an additional charge for a side. Nothing too special about the calamari or wings but they were part of the happy hour menu which was nice.

    Poutine
    Nicole H.

    My daughter and I came here for their happy hour menu. They have the cheeseburger for $7, but you can add veggies for 25 cents each and a sauce for a dollar extra. The poutine was half off, so $9 for a great portion. This was so delicious with fresh cut fries, braised brisket, smoked mozzarella, and chimichurri. I want to get it again and more frequently; it's that good. The onion rings were crispy and delicious, regular price at $10. We sat in the cozy patio this time. Service was very attentive and friendly. Water was always refilled. We didn't have to ask for much because he was so on top of it. Great experience, and I can't wait to come back and try something new!

    Purple drank
    Lexy M.

    Been coming here for YEARS but this was my first time dining in. I do have to say that from our experience I think this is more of a take out spot, or at least better suited for that. The food is good, but after our experience I would not recommend dining in. We came in on Tuesday night around 6:45pm and although busy, there were several open tables and we were immediately seated. We were ready to order quickly as we had already browsed the menu and knew what we wanted, and I always stick to the same order here because it's my favorite. We placed our drink and food orders and the wait for the drink was honestly unacceptable. We were more than halfway through our burgers when they finally brought the drinks out. We had asked about them when our server dropped off the food and it proceeded to take over ten more mins to get the drinks. We were about to walk over to find our waitress and just tell her to cancel the drinks at this point, but right as my boyfriend was about to get up the waitress walked over with our drinks. Took 25 minutes to get my purple drink and his Arnold Palmer. I'm not sure if our waitress was overwhelmed or a bit forgetful, she didn't even bring us our waters for over ten minutes. My boyfriend saw her walking to take a tables order then doing a u turn to grab our waters, it felt like she had forgotten then suddenly remembered while on her way to do something else. She asked if we wanted ice water and we said yes but she never brought ice water, instead she brought two glasses of room temp water and then several mins later brought us a carafe of room temp water. As far as my food, I did notice some changes that were disappointing. I always get the truffle and Brie burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries used to be thick and crispy on the outside and nice and gooey inside. Now the fries are extremely thin, maybe 3x thinner. They're no longer something I would order as they're so crispy and thin you don't get that nice gooey interior anymore. As far as the burger, my truffle burger always comes slathered in truffle sauce but this time there was just the smallest dollop of the sauce in the middle of the burger. I decided to wait for my server to come by so I could as for a side of the truffle aioli to fix my dry burger before I ate it. Took another several minutes before she came over to check on us. Not sure if this is how the burger and fries is meant to be served now, but the changes definitely lowered the overall taste and quality of my meal. Service was extremely disappointing. I'm being generous with 4 stars because I've been getting take out from here for over six years and have loved it. The experience we had when dining in would've been 2/5.

    Buffalo chicken wings
    Chanson Z.

    Rating: 7/10 Tried The Cut recently and thought it was solid overall, but nothing that really blew me away. We started with the buffalo chicken wings with ranch -- I'd give these a 7.5/10. The wings were cooked well and flavorful, but fairly standard and not especially memorable. Next was the double smash burger, which I'd rate a 7/10. The meat itself was very good and juicy, but the buns were a bit thick for my taste. It came with pickles, grilled onions, and Thousand Island sauce. Overall, solid execution, just not standout. We also ordered the OG burger (classic cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce, and onion). This one was pretty tasty and probably my favorite burger of the night -- 7.5/10. For sides, we had the beef tallow fries with garlic confit and parmesan, which were an 8/10. These were cooked well, crispy, and the beef tallow added a nice richness that set them apart. Service was good throughout, and everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, a decent spot -- good food, good service, just nothing especially memorable.

When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.

Since I only had 50 mins to kill and not hungry, just wanted a coffee and something tiny. There's nothing on the menu that's small. Dallas understood what I needed and put in an order for 1 pancake. Most places wouldn't bother to accommodate outside of what's offered. Then I noticed they have a special of chorizo tacos with fixings that sounds great but I was not hungry enough or have the time. Dallas spoke to chef Sacramento discreetly and before you know it, there's one single chorizo taco on my table on the house. Who does that? They DO! Really, who is that sweet? Love them! These guys...

    I had a great experience at Rooster Cafe. I ordered the omelets with rice and they were really…read moresatisfying and simple, fresh, and flavorful. The iced coffee was also really good and refreshing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, especially one of the young guys who was very kind and attentive, which made the visit feel even better. Overall, a comfortable spot with good food and nice service. I'd definitely come back again.

    Whoever is leaving a 1 start review is either never happy with anything or thoroughly finding…read moresomething negative to say in whatever they experience (at least on Yelp). Hands down some of the best coffee in OC. If you don't like sweet, don't get a drink with flavoring. Or ask them to adjust. Simple! If you want something yummy and different, try their seasonal menu. I have never once felt like staff was rude. Every interaction has been authentic and genuine. The best. Lastly, long lines happen because this place has grown A TON post-COVID. They're also in the same building as a church, so get there early on the weekend or sit in line and enjoy the atmosphere. There's a friendly crowd there. Thank you Lion & Lamb for being a consistent go-to since Covid. You guys rock.

    We stopped by on a Sunday at 11 -- it was very busy, as it's also connected to a church. The line…read morewent by fairly quickly with very friendly staff. For our drinks, we got two signature drinks: *lucky matcha* and *cookie butter latte* They're both on the sweeter side but still good. They live up to the name and description. You're able to taste the marshmallow in the matcha and the biscoff and cinnamon on the latte. For food, we got *avocado toast* The bread was very fresh, thick and moist. My favorite part was the pickled onions. I'd definitely get it again. And the *breakfast burrito* is okay. Nothing outstanding - they did tell us they get them made a day before and they warm up upon order.
