Food is mediocre, prices are high. Service is ok. Came here for quick brunch one day and ordered the Irvine bowl for $8. It's very rich and fatty, hash brown at the bottom, topped with pulled pork cream sauce and no veggies. The portion size is not very big. It didn't taste very good, and I got a stomachache later from it. Extra avocado cost $2 extra. Service was very absent at times, I had to ask for water a few times. Overall not worth the $. No bathrooms in the restaurant, you have to walk kind of far to the back of the store to use the whole foods bathrooms.

This is a little bar inside Whole Foods. I attached pics with their current menu (the one on the website is outdated). I'm a fan of this place. They have a good selection of beers on tap. Check out the TapHunter app for what they're currently pouring. My current favorites are Modern Times Critical Band and Lagunitas Born Again Yesterday. Food: - Beyond Burger: I'm not a big veggie burger person but this one is great. They get a nice grilled flavor from the sear on it and although the tomatoes and lettuce tend to look a little sad, it's still a tasty burger. - Fish Tacos: you get 3 large fish tacos per order. Very filling and tasty. The fish is nice and tender and the batter is light and crispy. - Fish and Chips: The fish is the same as they use in the tacos, so it's good. Also, there's live music on Saturdays from 6pm to 9pm or so.

Burger and brew $13 all day Tuesdays

Loving this spot. It's inside wholefoods market. They have a good brew selection. Thursdays is Burger and Brew $13 all day. Pub or some Vegan burger + beer from tap!! Before you had to choose from the $7 beer selection but when I went yesterday they said it can be any beer excluding just 1 of the beers!!! Score! Beer prices range from $7-$10/ pint or tulip. The burger is pretty good! Especially at this price! Nice and juicy everytime! My coworker thinks its too juicy! Haha Anyways, cant wait to they their Taco Tuesday deal!!

This spot is now one of my new local go-to's I love the food, staff and quick service. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a bite or go to the salad bar, food bar. There is so many options. I have never been dissapointed.

I ordered the pub burger and a salad with steak on the side. The steak was 8.5/10 and the burger was 6/10. The server was attentive and the atmosphere is light.

They have Kombucha on tap

This place is great! Came here for some wine and a little food with the girls. The happy hour goes from 4-6pm. I'm not sure where I read that it goes till 8pm now, but it does not. In fact, right at 6pm the button for happy hour prices goes away, so make sure to get your order in at least by 5:59pm :P Service is really great here. You have a server, but the bartender will often go around and fulfill orders as well if the server is busy with other patrons. The goods... - HH MDZ Malbec: $6 and delicious. I had two glasses of it /cheers! - Cauliflower nachos: part of the small HH menu. It's lightly covered cauliflower that is fried. They pour a light cheese sauce and throw it with fresh diced tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapenos. The jalapenos look way intimidating and spicy, but most seeds are removed and it's more for flavor than spice. I expected the cauliflower itself to be more crispy than how it turned out. It's still quite good, but don't expect any crispy texture from cauliflower. - Charcuterie and cheese board: not part of HH menu, but for $13, it's totally reasonably priced. I had my glass of wine by now and totally forgot to take a pic of this. They gave us a selection of 2 cheeses (a blue and a semi firm), a jelly, 3 meats (2 type salami and a prosciutto). They brought out fresh cut bread lightly drizzled with olive oil to serve with this. They'll give you as much bread as you need! This board was more than filling for us, we did not finish it. The place isn't too crowded nor loud. There are TVs showing sports everywhere and the sound is at a great level to hear it but not drown out your convo. In the end, 3 ladies paid $20 each for a chill night out with great service, food/drink, and ambiance. I can't wait to come back to try other things.

Cheese & Charcuterie plates with bread

Great service, a good selection of draft beers, reasonably priced happy hour menu. The poutine was pretty good; fries with melted cheddar covered with white gravy. Add some duck or braised ribs and this would absolutely rock. The charcuterie and cheese plates were smaller, but tasty. This might be my go to happy hour hangout. Highly recommend.

Houman the bartender is a great guy. He also has a wealth of knowledge about beers. The burgers are great. We will be coming back soon.

She is such an amazing waitress and made sure everything was perfect for us. Her humor was awesome and hands down the best waitress I have ever encountered. She definitely deserves a pay raise. I had an issue with my food and I was so hungry I forgot what I ordered, she came by and fixed it which was really awesome. She made is such a better environment for us and made the rest of our night better.

I've been to many locations all throughout the United…read moreStates, and one thing I can say is that the food and overall experience are consistently good across locations. I got the cheeseburger this time and it was delicious! It was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I also really liked their fries. I'm usually not a fan of super thin-cut fries because they tend to get cold so quickly, but these were a little thicker cut and still really tasty. Their spinach artichoke dip is also really great, in my opinion. And if you happen to go during happy hour, they have some good options. The ambience is cool and low-key, making it a great spot to hang out, especially if you're looking to watch some sports. They also have a huge variety of beers on tap, so there's definitely something for everyone!

Casual atmosphere with a ton of TVs broadcasting sports. Order at the register and they bring your food to you. Fast and friendly service. The following was enough for two adults and a toddler and cost around $55 including tax and small tip as of Nov 2024: chips and salsa, two tacos (choice of chicken or carne asada - you can't get one of each for some weird reason), cheese pizza flatbread, and fish n chips. Everything was great! Fries reminded me of In n Out. Fish were huge filets, which were messy and difficult to share, but delicious nonetheless. Chicken tacos were bursting with flavor and my favorite of all things we tried! Salsa is rather spicy, so beware.

Highly recommend the $16+ poutine which comes loaded and delicious. $14 wings were delicious & perfectly cooked + sauced. $15 carne asada quesadilla: pretty standard but great for kids. I had ribs there once which had a nice bite to them but were a limited time offering. I think it's nice to have these options instead of just chicken tenders from the snack bar. (Which no joke are delicious and perfectly fried.) If your kid is on rink one, there's a row of seats so you can enjoy the food in the comfort of the warm side of the glass. Yessss!!

The guy who runs the trivia is great, and the questions are fun, interesting, and definitely make you think. It's become one of my favorite trivia nights in the area. The drinks are good, the bartenders are cool, and you really can't beat the $1 tacos. They're actually pretty darn good for a buck! Good people, good drinks, good food, and fun trivia. What more do you need on a Tuesday night? I'll definitely be back.

After work, I've took a long drive from North Orange County all the way to Lake Forest (South…read moreOrange County) for some food and drink at Jarrod Schulz's The Rush Bar and Grill. It's my first time at this bar and hopefully not the last. Now time for the fun part. I sat at the bar area to not only have a small talk with a bartender, but also have a decent drink, my usual drink at a dive bar or sports bar is the jack and coke (Jack Daniels and Coca-cola). Gotta love it. For the food.... I got me some southwest egg rolls, and California burger. Yum. First off, egg rolls was sooooo delicious, especially with that special sauce.... really nice kick to it. California burger is so good. Added bonus, I had some sauce leftover which I've tried it on the burger. Soooo good. Cost wasn't too bad. 10.95 for the egg rolls, 18.95 for the burger, and $10 for the jack and coke. Oh, and I didn't forget to tip the lady (bartender). Funny thing is, she had no idea I'm left handed. I'm just glad my parents never smacked my left hand for writing with my left hand. Before I left the parking lot, some guy saw me, and was telling me how great Jarrod is. I've heard of him long time ago. One day, I'll introduce myself to Jarrod. Hopefully soon enough. See ya around, try not to get your left hand smacked, ya?
