Eat Chow

Every single bite produces an "mmmm." This food is beyond delicious and never disappoints. Favorites so far: crispy cauliflower, cheesy tots, Cubano breakfast sandwich, newporter salad, French dip, and the chilaquiles. Looking forward to trying everything. Service is always good. Ambiance is very nice. We usually sit outside if it's nice. Usually there during off hours so can't comment on wait times.

This place looks really nice and has decent parking across the street. The service was good, but the wait was pretty long. It took about 30 minutes after we ordered to get our food. This was on a reasonably busy Saturday, but there was no line of customers outside so it wasn't THAT busy.Unfortunately, I was unimpressed with the food. It's important to note that I only had the chow benedict, so maybe the other food is good and there's certainly a good selection, but it was very uninspired. It didn't taste bad, it was just extremely ordinary. The potatoes were whatever, the Benedict was cooked fine, but it was missing flavor. I am a Benedict fanatic and I rate this near the bottom of the Benedict's I've had, I think they really need to add something to make it worth $20.

So far this is one of my favorite spots for breakfast/lunch. There's an assortment of dishes for any craving whether it be heavy or light and the kitchen can be very accommodating. I've had Alex as my waiter twice and from my experience he's awesome. He's very professional but is still laid back in a way. I love how he's ready for us whether it be the bill, condiments, refills, etc.I got the opportunity to enjoy both their indoor and outdoor dining. Both areas do not disappoint as the decor is very comfy but give a modern brunch.On my first visit my friend and I got the chorizo hash and avotoast. The hash is on the heavier side but still a great choice that they didn't leave a single bit left on the plate. The avotoast left me feeling very satisfied, but not stuffed and the smoked salmon add on made it that much better.This is a must try spot during any time of the day, but maybe I'm too quick to say since I haven't had their dinner menu. Overall, very happy with the restaurant. Our second visit we got the breakfast burrito and cubano. The burrito is a large size to which we took it home, but it was packed full of flavor and instead of scrambled eggs we got sunny side up to make the burrito have a creamier texture. The cubano was awesome and the potatoes that came with it were perfect. I was reluctant on the potatoes from other restaurants, but they caught me by good surprise. They were wedge fries, with the perfect crisp. Since we're on the subject of crisp the cubano was the same with each and every bite. The aioili on the cubano was spectacular especially since I am used to mustard, but the switch up was a great idea.

If you're looking for yummy food, great service and a chill atmosphere, Eat Chow is the place for you! I came here tonight and had the sweet potato fries...they are topped with Parmesan cheese and served with a chipotle ranch...absolutely delicious! I also got the fig and Brie panini which was really good too. Everything I've tried here is great. Our server was wonderful too!

I absolutely LOVE Eat Chow!! I have been going since around 2015 and hadn't been in awhile and just came back tonight. Omg "THE Burger" I'm not joking is probably one of my favorite burgers I've ever had. I try burgers everywhere I go and this one was juicy AF, full of flavor, bacon was crispy and thick, and lots of secret sauce!! The sweet potato fries with cojita cheese is another go to for me. I noticed they remodeled and made it bigger and nicer too. Can't wait to come back.

Eat Chow is my absolute favorite! I've been going to both locations for years and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and delicious! I've never had a bad meal. Their sweet potato fries are a must every time I visit, and the roasted cauliflower is fantastic too. The servers are always friendly and attentive. Their spaces are cute and cozy, making it a great local spot. Don't miss their chai latte...it's one of the best I've ever had! Highly, highly recommend!

Love Eat Chow! Everything I've ordered at Breakfast & lunch have all been amazing. One of my go to restaurants when I want tasty food.

We went here after a morning workout. Nice patio outside. Waitress was super friendly. I ordered the breakfast burrito. It was pretty good with two good salsas. The chorizo was good, but it could use a tad bit more crunch. My wife ordered the short rib tostada. She enjoyed it and was a decent size portion. My wife actually had to take the other portion home. She also ordered a latte. The waitress spilled a bit on the platter and even though we told her it was fine, they took it off the bill. Also tried a bit of my brother in laws hash and also tasted good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Got the chilaquiles with short rib but wasn't too impressed. However the truffle fries were great. The waiters were nice.

My husband and I were in town on a Sunday morning and came across Eat Chow and are so happy we did. The wait was only about 20min on a Sunday around 11am which isn't bad at all. There is a super cute consignment store a few places down and it's a great way to spend the time while you wait to sit! They have tons of street parking, at least while we were there. The food was good and portions were big. Really loved the cocktails! The dirty chai espresso martini was fire. The perfect mix of flavors and wasn't too sweet which is my favorite. We live in San Diego and don't have an Eat Chow location which is so sad! The next time we are in Costa Mesa we will make sure to stop by and try the churro French toast!
