Robert Earl's BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (923) • $$

"Ok I hate to do this but I'm completely disappointed. Whenever I order at Robert Earl's I ALWAYS get the 3 Meat Combo. I don't mind pay for good food, because it is good even now but what I don't like are high prices for less amount or pinches of what use to be. Raise the price if you have to but this really just hurt my hear when I opened my food. Chicken not what I expected and my links were chopped up. They have never done that. The greens were to salty and the baked beans were not sweet... What Happened!??! Ima give it 1 more try and if things are the same? Ima have to teach myself how to bbq."

Big Rob's Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (736) • $$

"Not your average pizza....its better!Service: This spot appears to be family ran, which is always a good sign because you know the pizza is made with love. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and took my time to answer my questions and give me the detail I was looking for. They were happy to accommodate my request for thin crust, even though it didn't seem to be something they advertise on the menu.Food: We ordered The Works, and it was fantastic. The quality of the ingredients was top notch. The vegetables on the pizza were fresh and the meats actually had taste and were not bland. The cheese was reminiscent of some top quality Wisconsin cheeses I've had on pizzas in the Midwest. The crust was perfectly toasted and the undercarriage perfectly cooked. Not raw, not burnt, baked to have a perfect crunch.Overall: I'd recommend this place if you love supporting local small businesses or if you're just on the hunt for some great tasting pizza. They have many other items on the menu like Calzones, Chicken Parm, etc. I definitely will be back to try it all! You guys just earned a loyal customer. Thank you, Big Robs!"

Ricci's Italian Restaurant

"Best thing about this place is the karaoke on Saturday! Some people can sing, some can't, but we all have a good time. The sound and mics are nice. Food is pretty good too. Got some great service from the wait staff. But wait until you meet their karaoke jockey Koach! He had the room going!"

Miss Priss Cupcakes & Such

★★★★☆ 4.2 (675) • $

"I asked friends for recommendations on where to get some cupcakes for a birthday party. Everyone said Miss Priss. I went to the bakery to see what they had and the person helping me was really nice and helpful. I ordered one dozen German chocolate and Red Velvet plus a dozen mini cupcakes in assorted flavors. The number of folks attending grew so I ordered another dozen. Everything was a huge hit at the party especially with the 95year birthday person!"

"This place was recommended by my co-worker. Places a pick-up order from their website.I ordered the Tom's way egg sandwich! It's delicious! This special combines with Pastrami, egg salad, swiss cheese, pickled onion and broccoli slaw served on toasted country bread. It also has a little kick to it!Hit the spot right especially when I'm not a sandwich person! Definitely recommend others to try it!"

Esther's Place

★★★★★ 4.7 (465) • $

"I work at a school in Westminster, and I am always looking for different local businesses to try. When lunchtime approaches, my coworker and I are often stumped when deciding what to try. She mentioned Esther's Place as she had eaten there a few times with another colleague. I am always up for a good sandwich, so we agreed on this restaurant for lunch.My coworker picked up the food and brought it back. She mentioned to the owner that I had not yet eaten at this place. The owner was so sweet and gave a complimentary cup of soup since I was a brand new customer. Gotta love small businesses who show appreciation for new patrons!I had the chicken salad on wheat bread, and a vegetable soup which was perfectly hot on this cool, crispy day. The vegetable soup was flavorful and I did not feel like I was missing a protein. It had potatoes, celery, and carrots, perfectly cooked. Broth was tasty, would definitely purchase this in the future. The chicken salad was fresh and light, not lost in mayonnaise. The bread was fresh as well, and the vegetables offered a nice crunch to the sandwich.Esther's Place uses quality ingredients to deliver a quality dining experience. Will definitely be adding this spot to our lunchtime rotation. Thank you!"

Tommy Pastrami New York Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (573) • $$

"Great place for Pastrami and other deli sandwiches. I went during a busy weekday lunch rush. The line moved quickly and my food came out much quicker than I expected. There is seating inside and a large area outside. Pastrami was very good and the double baked rye was excellent! The side potato salad I ordered was tasty. I only ordered a half and that was plenty! I was told their brisket is definitely a sandwich to order next visit.Plenty of parking. Located in a business park with a large lot.Definitely coming back! Great place!"

"I have ordered from here about 20+ times. My go to is the forty9er with chopped habaneros!!! I always call in my order and by the time I get there it's always ready. They have a good selection of sides as well to along with the sandwiches. Love the interior as it reminds me of the 90s golf scene. Don't forget to get your frequent flyer stamp card. I have had at least 4 free sandwiches thanks to this stamp card."

Omelette Inn

★★★★☆ 3.6 (761) • $$

"My cousin was staying with me, so wanted to buy him breakfast while showing him a small part of DTLB. The breakfast place I wanted to try was closed, so came back to this reliable place. He had the classic breakfast, which he enjoyed. The entire menu is available all-day, so I got the weekday special (black bean chicken chili & 1/2 sandwich for $11.96). The chili was very good...maybe too mild for a chili connoisseur (or someone from Texas who doesn't believe in beans in chili)...but reminded me strongly of the "fat-free" chicken chili that our cafe at a place I worked at for a while served (that used to be my lunch pretty consistently 3 days a week). I chose the chicken salad, which was OK, but as expected, didn't have much chicken on the sandwich. It was just filling enough to satisfy me for the long day ahead on a fishing boat."

Sorrento's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (599) • $$

"Some of our favorites here:Antipasto Salad w Cherry Peppers and Creamy Italian Dressing on the side.Garlic Bread is a winner !Chicken Marsala is a very nice entree with vegetables on the side.Meatballs and Italian Sausages are both great with their marinara sauce or with melted cheese on a sub Sandwich.Of course their Pizza is quite tasty too..only problem is they don't deliver.Tip: save yourself some money by paying with cash.New owners are former employees of many years, and are totally keeping up the quality and traditions !"

Board & Brew - Huntington Beach

★★★★★ 4.5 (461) • $$

"I always love a good sandwich, but board and brews is next level good. I usually get the turkey deluxe which is my go to. I've been to a few other locations as well, but this one is special. The past few times I have visited, I am always greeted by the sweetest lady named TJ. She doesn't just treat you like a customer, but she treats you kind of like a close friend. It's her service and kindness that makes this location stand out from the rest. I can't wait to come back soon."

"Been coming to this place for years. You'll see a lot of bad reviews about the long wait.. well its a VERY popular spot for a reason :). There is no better bagel place in OC for these reasons: - Number of interesting bagel and cream cheese flavors- Number of coffee options- Friendly, hard working staff- Drive Thru!- Very clean and good food preparation practices-Alternative options for dietary restrictions and allergies-Fresh!"

Ike's Love & Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4.1 (505) • $$

"I recently tried the Backstabber at Ike's Lovin' Sandwiches, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. The combination of halal chicken, marinated artichoke hearts, creamy Caesar dressing, and provolone cheese is pure perfection.The chicken is juicy and tender, the artichokes add a unique tang, and the dressing balances everything out. And don't forget the dirty sauce, which adds a secret layer of flavor.If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying sandwich, Ike's is the place to go."

Nguyen's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (503) • $$

"What a surprise. We just stopped in as a last min choice for a quick dinner before the movies for Father's Day. We left satisfied and delighted. It's a pretty cozy spot, was quiet when we got there but got louder as people showed up. It was clean and well kept, has a nice to go station by the door in case you don't finish all the goodies.The garlic noodles, chicken, steak and shrimp were all tasty! The Cajun fries were super crispy and fresh. That being said, I think the fries could use a bit more seasoning imo.Overall the service was pretty quick, for the amount of food we ordered. We ordered quite a bit, it came out with in 20 mins I believe. We ate it all, it was delicious.I love that they're open late, so we're definitely coming back at some point."

Joe's Deli & Gourmet Sandwiches

★★★★★ 4.6 (387) • $

"I could go to Joe's every single day if I lived closer. This was my regular lunch haunt when I worked in the area! Great sandwiches and such incredibly reasonable prices--it was a no brainer. Joe and his associate Amanda are also so kind and personable (the kind of folks who care and remember your order)!They'll get you in and out and take phone orders as well if you're strapped for time. I still drive out of my way on my days off for a sandwich here. As a mom and pop joint, the simplicity of Joe's shop with indoor seating (as well as an outdoor table) makes it nostalgic and comforting. Unfortunately, there's not many places like Joe's anymore."

"5 stars for nostalgia. I just had to do it. All you people that know what I'm talking about, just go back. Clearly I don't live in HB anymore, but just said why not. Rainbow drink will do it. The bartender was super cool, vibe still there. Don't be scared, live it up. Ps. I didn't try the food."

Santa Fe Importers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (439) • $$

"Let me just say .... been following this spot on IG for quite some time now. We happen to be in the area today and decided to finally give it a try. Soooo happy we did!! This spot is legit good! I had the pastrami ... ordered it without mustard and unfortunately it had mustard on it when I sat down to eat but I took it back to the counter and within 3-4 minutes I had a fresh mustard free sandwich! It was delish! My husband had the chicken cacciatore sandwich which was also good and we ordered a meatball just to give it a try. It's a busy little spot, we hit it right at 3:30 and it was easy breazy but by the time we left the line was loooong! Any place with a line that long has got to be good! When we are in the area, we will definitely stop again! Next time I plan to order a pizza!"

Carrot & Daikon Banh Mi - Bolsa

★★★★☆ 4.4 (418) • $

"I had to try what was dubbed "OC's best banh mi" on various internet posts. I am usually a THH loyalist as it is close to my house, but I need to give Carrot and Daikon its well-deserved flowers. The baguettes are large, soft, and crunchy. The meats are savory and addicting. The pickled vegetables offer the perfect refreshing note. I highly recommend the #6 (Crispy Pork Belly) and the #14 (Lemongrass Beef). I gave the #15 (Lomo Saltado) a try as well, but I think the former options are tastier. #15 could use a little more sauce, it was a little drier than the others. Anyways, highly recommend. These sandwiches will fill you up quickly."

Kaffa Coffeehouse

"I've been coming back and this time I tried the Tuna Dave. It was AMAZING I did the wrap hack again and asked them to add sprouts and bacon. Thank you to the patient staff for going along with my request bc wow that wrap was delicious!!!! This time around I think I hit a sweet spot there were only a few people in front of me so it didn't take long to get my food! They also cleaned the place up a bit with a shelf for the chips definitely easier access for me"

"Located on the Westside of Long Beach, I ordered ahead because they were closing in about 45 min. It was a weekend and they told me all they had left at that moment was rib tips and hot links....... "we'll hell I'm in the game then" because I promise you that's all I wanted - pulled up inside was very clean and nice, they were sanitizing everything (a plus for me )OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG those rib tips were soooo tender, the sauce was sooo good, and I'm mad I had to share . My plate came with rib tips, hot link and 2 sides so I chose baked beans for both. You guys I apologize for not having pictures to show you the goodies but... see what happened was ‍ I ATE IT! Like no traces of anything, no bone, no bean no sauce no nothing but I promise this place is well worth it soo go check it out. Picture next time"

Bao N Baguette

"In a world where so many banh mi places are shrinking their bread and giving smaller and thinner slices of meat, I'm so happy to have found Bao N Baguette! I ordered a couple of #1 combo banh mis to go. I am happy to report that they have head cheese and meat that is thick and hearty with a healthy amount of veggies on the side. Please don't ever change. Will definitely be making this my regular spot when I'm in the area! Please open one on the Westside! Will have to try their baos next time."
