    Chorizo eggs and fruit
    Heather C.

    I dined here this morning for brunch and when I walked in the front there was no one to greet me. I walked around the place trying to find my group of friends who were already there and sat down at their booth. The waitress was nice and took our order but when my water came it tasted like water poured from a plastic bottle that had been sitting in the hot sun. The water had a plastic sort of chemical taste to it so I decided to order a strawberry lemonade only to find that that drink also had the same weird taste. I thought maybe it's just me so I had my friend sip both the water and strawberry lemonade. She told me she too tasted what I was describing. I had the chorizo eggs which were good but man.. those drinks were awful!!!

    We still love good ol Woodys Diner the menu is still big with lots of choices and the service here is never bad. Prices are still ok here and the food is still great. I had the perfect cheeseburger today with raw onions and im full!

    Nice little diner near the circle in Old Town Orange. I was here for breakfast. I ordered the Diner Combo with coffee. Diner Combo is 2 eggs, 2 bacon and sausage and 2 pancakes. This was a nice breakfast. The service is very good, and the restaurant is clean. I need to come back sometime for lunch and get a burger.

    Large party fee? Should have been told before seating us. To order 5 plates of food changed an extra 18%. SMH

    Very disappointing experience. We were hit with a $22 large party charge for our group (4 adults, a 4-year-old, and a 1-year-old) and were never told ahead of time, it just appeared on the bill. That feels sneaky. Service was cold and unfriendly. I didn't even feel comfortable asking for anything. The place was dirty, crumbs on the booth, dirty floors and restroom, and the outside needs a serious cleaning. For the prices they charge, the cleanliness and service should be much better. Food wasn't worth it either. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    A classic diner is always needed in your travels. Woody's is a great spot for breakfast lunch or dinner. Bar seating, low top tables or booths available. Great service for dinner time. Attentive to our tables needs. It was an easy choice of pasta this time around. Comes with a side of garlic bread. Their burgers are great too. Don't forget to try out Prime rib nights. Ample parking but can easily get crowded during rush hours.

    Classic Reuben Sandwich

    I got a Reuben sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely comeback.

    I've eaten plenty of times here. They have so many good options to choose from. I love the variety. But this is the first time having breakfast here. Oh my it was delicious! The portion was awesome too. Highly recommended trying out.

    Located on the corner of Chapman and Shaffer (across the street from St. John's). Parking lot has plenty of parking spaces. Came here for the first time with family today. Fun, dim lit diner atmosphere. There is a bar area inside too. We sat in the back of the restaurant in a nice, large booth. The women's restroom was clean and roomy. They are private restrooms though. There was a line to use the restroom because of this. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Prices are fairly reasonable. Will be back again.

    One of our favorite places that we have ever tried! The appetizers are a must try!…read more The fries were so crispy yet so fluffy on the inside. The ahi tuna was amazing, must try. The rigatoni was ok, nothing surprising. The steak had a very strong wine glaze which was not our favorite. It was very busy when we got there but we were lucky to get a small table by a tree. All the servers seem to help all the tables so service was a bit chaotic as different servers asked us if we ordered already. Regardless, all of the servers were super kind.

It seems like this spot is super popular for brunch drinks. Had the birria taco and this one was probably my favorite of the dishes tha we ordered. There is a crispy shell, two different sauces, and condiments to add with it. There is a lot of different textures and the meat was juicy. The smoked salmon flatbread wasn't as good, it looks very colorful and pretty, but I didnt think the flavors went together very well. I like the smokiness but the salmon wasn't umami enough to justify mixing in caviar and avocado and arugula that would normally pair well with beef. Finally, had the chicken tinga skillet, which had flavor in the sauce, but the chicken itself was just ok.

    Stellar experience all around here! This place has it all, incredible service, inviting atmosphere,…read morenice ambiance, and most importantly -- delicious food. Ava helped me out today and was very friendly and attentive. I sat inside and it was such a cool vibe. The interior is very open and there's plenty of seating, also a bar with a few TVs. There's also an outside dining area which I've eaten at before and it's so nice to chill and people-watch on sunny days. I ordered the Wild King salmon today and it was BOMB!!! The presentation deserves bonus points, and the flavor in this dish truly packed a punch. There was a nice sear on the outside, while the rest of the fish was perfectly flaky and tender. The roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach were a great compliment to the fish and the pesto sauce tied everything together by adding immense flavor to the dish. I loved every single bite and they practically had to stop me from licking the plate clean. Highly recommend you try this dish when you go!! I'm a big fan of this place the couple times that I've been so far and can't wait to go back as I can tell everything I try will rock my tastebud's world.

The only downside is parking can be a little difficult during lunch time. One of the things I like about this place is when you walk through the door you already have a warm and fuzzy feeling. Almost like you're going into someone else's home for a meal. Lots of wood. Lots of dim lining. The place is very upscale without feeling stuffy. If you are going there for lunch, I highly recommend you get the burger off the menu. I am not kidding. It is one of the best tasting hamburgers I've had in a very long time. They cook it perfectly and their french fries are seasoned to perfection. Wait staff is top-notch, they definitely take care of your table while not hovering over you. One thing of note, they have great iced tea. Bottom line? If you are in town and looking for a good lunch that won't break the bank, I highly recommend public legacy, and make sure you get the burger!

Initially, I walked…read moreinto the establishment thinking it was going to be another "fast food burger joint" but walked out craving another burger. The ambiance is minimalistic with a few tables along the wall and a long window table for solo eaters. However, the owner/cook are super friendly and accommodating. I ordered the signature and the double burger meal (w/ loaded fries). First off, the loaded fries is one of the best. It doesn't aesthetically look "all that," but it just HITS. The jalapeños and grilled onions balance out the cheese and bacon. As for the signature burger, the crispy cheese was a great complement to the perfectly seasoned patties. The texture of the cheese was just right: a nice balance of almost crispy but also gooey with a small cheese pull. Perfection. I haven't had a good smash burger in OC for a while, so this was a pleasant surprise. The establishment is located within a plaza, so parking can get a bit difficult when busy, but I came in on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of spaces available. I will definitely be back. A++!

    After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to try Smashburger on Chapman Ave. Unfortunately,…read moremy experience was quite different from my expectations. I ordered their Signature Smash Burger meal, hoping it would showcase what the restaurant is known for. However, the burger did not resemble the menu photos. As shown in the attached pictures, the patties were very thin, overcooked, burnt, and dry. The burger lacked flavor and was far from the satisfying burger Smashburger advertises. The bun was also noticeably crushed and flattened, giving a careless presentation. While appearance isn't everything, it didn't help when the taste was equally disappointing. The overall dining experience was not much better. Only two of us dined in, with no other customers inside. Although several to-go orders were being prepared, our food still took longer than expected. The atmosphere was less enjoyable than I had hoped. Staff members were quite loud in the kitchen, and an employee sat next to our table, speaking loudly on a phone call for an extended period, making it hard to enjoy the meal. I'm sharing this feedback hoping management will address these issues. The meal did not reflect the quality I expect from a restaurant that prides itself on its food. For the price, customers deserve food and service that match the advertised quality.
