The Cut

The Cut is serving up some of the most gourmet burgers in Irvine and beyond! This spot is located in the same plaza as Hmart and Sprouts and there is a good amount of parking spots. Reservations are recommended but you can also take your chances with walking in as well. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner around 7pm and there was about a 10 minute wait. Inside, they have a nice modern interior with about 7-8 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a great selection of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. We opted to try the Truffle and Brie Burger, The Cut Burger, Poutine, and a Lavender Lemonade. Everything that we had was delicious and we could definitely taste the quality of the elevated flavors. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time dining here. All of the staff are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here but I would highly recommend trying one of their burgers. There is a reason why this spot has over 1,000+ positive reviews!

We got in to try the cut as soon as they opened this morning, but as we left, the traffic was flowing in we had a great experience. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. The customer service was excellent and the food was great.The coffee was delicious no milk no sugar for me the all natural notes of hazelnut were perfect The French toast had a nice flavor really liked the hint of basil a must try Bacon eggs and potatoes Were a good choice the potatoes hit different nice and soft but still crispy Thank you for the hospitality see you soon..

It's mediocre at best.Maybe it was an off day but everything fried was overdone. Winner winner chicken dinner was sent back. After a 25 minute wait, the chicken was burnt. It looked burnt but we gave it a chance, hoping it tasted better than it looked. No bueno.The fried burrata although was really good!We also ordered the Cut burger. Not worth $40 IMO. It's fine but WAY overpriced. Not worth 4 Shake Shack burgers, 10 In-N-Out burgers or even anything at a decent fast casual. I won't call it a ripoff but c'mon.

Came in for a quick bite. Menu is short and to the point. The purple drank was amazing. Service was quick and very polite.

I ordered sweet and spicy burger which didn't really taste that spicy imo. There's bacon inside which I personally would've enjoyed more if there wasn't bacon. It was an expensive burger though. Was craving tator tots and when it arrived, it was cold and cold tator tots or any cold fries wouldn't taste as good as fresh ones. Will give this place a try again in person next time!

I was craving a Smashburger and The Cut delivered. They offer Double Smashburger with a double patty, pickles, onions, and cheese during happy hour. FYI Fries are not included and you can get them on the side for eight dollars. The burger was delicious, however the fries are not worth $8. The onion rings were also eight dollars and those were pretty good. I ordered the Hard Arnold Palmer which was made with Vodka, House-made Orange Liqueur, Black Tea, Fresh Squeezed Lemon. It was absolutely delicious! The service was friendly and very attentive. I will definitely be back.

This is by far my favorite burger place and what I'd consider one of Irvine's gems. I've gotten takeout here a few times but finally decided to dine in with some friends for weekend brunch for a birthday celebration. The restaurant wasn't too busy and they had some nice outdoor seating options. As we got seated the server told us the menu has changed a bit and to my disappointment my favorite item, the Colombian burger, was cut from the menu. I was super bummed about it but the amazing server said she would talk to the chefs in the kitchen and see if they could make something similar. She came back and said that they had just enough items to recreate the burger one last time for me!! It absolutely made my day. Super thankful to the staff who were so accommodating and went above and beyond. I've never had such great service like that at any restaurant. Despite my favorite burger no longer being there, I'll continue to stop by and try the other ones and get my favorites like the tater tot poutine and try other burgers.

The Cut is one of our favorite spots to visit. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The ambiance is great, love the music. We went in on Saturday afternoon before the dinner rush. We were sat immediately and greeted by a friendly server. We ordered the Southern Bird Sandwich, Savory Burger, and double order of sweet potato fries (yes, they're that good!). I can't recall what the dipping sauces were but they never disappoint. We were regularly checked in on by another team member and their owner too, I believe. Everyone is really friendly here. We'll definitely be coming back again soon. Cannot recommend this place enough!

The food was delicious! The restaurant was very clean and the waiters and waitresses were very attentive! I highly recommend this place!

There's been mixed reviews about this place.. I'm not sure how much clearing up this updated review will do but I'll definitely be back after this last visit. Perhaps the secret is coming at the right time? When the servers are chill and strive for taste! At least our server was very helpful, informative and recommended exactly what I wanted given one rule, must be vegetarian. Got the sweet and sour burger with no bacon but avocado, impossible patty and an extra egg. $30 for a vegetarian brioche'd bun burger with runny yolk fried egg. Open faced, begging to be eaten and fries packed with a proper crunch, crisp and just the right amount of grease. The OG with impossible patty was also delicious! Quoting that of a wise eater, this is the burger in-n-out wish they made. The ratio was on point for all the cheese lovers out there. Fried burrata- for those who don't eat calamari, perfect appetizer teaser with a surprising bell-pepper sauce. It's like eating a fancier version of deconstructed mozzarella sticks. The burrata consistency and texture makes me have faith in this cheese again. Lots of yummy brews on tap and a very smooth cup of coffee. Thanks guys! Keep it up! Lots of happy hour options.
