Waterfront Cafe

Cute and quirky cafe. Service was great and the food was good. They have a diverse menu especially for breakfast and it wasn't too crowded potato pancakes are always a win. Atmosphere is decorative they had a lot of pigs on display for the new year. It was fun looking at all of the figurines carefully placed throughout the restaurant. Server was first letter and number aka A1. Try it out

A great old school diner with great food and even better customer service. The decor is dated, but that adds to the charm. It's easily missed while you're driving up and down Brookhurst, but it's worth a stop. Breakfast is fantastic and the burgers are huge and delicious. I love this place.

I have been eating at this restaurant for 24 years.... when the ownership was a Greek Family and now Korean Family. The food is consistently good, the soups are freshly made and probably the best in Orange County, the staff is friendly and the prices are more than reasonable. I have never been disappointed with this establishment. Sunday breakfast the place is packed but other days there's usually no wait. Good menu of comfort food and breakfast served all day. I like this place

Great food, wonderful waitresses & nice atmosphere. We have dined here with family for years. Never had a meal that wasn't excellent and we also celebrate family occasions here. The long-time owners are helpful and accommodating. Our family highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was delicious! The four of us each ordered something different and we all enjoyed our meals. This was the first time I had tried dinner there and it was the first time ever the other three had been there for any meal. I had breakfast and lunch there with other people. We will all be back more often!

The Waterfront is the kind of place where everyone knows your face, if not your name. Where you ask for " the usual". The waitress will apologize for asking how you like your eggs. She should remember. Lots of older folks, all saying hello to each other and to the strangers too. I started going there with my father, who couldn't drive. Everyone was welcoming and couldn't say enough nice things about my dad and me for bringing him. As for the food, it is pretty good. I love the grilled sandwiches. Eggs and bacon and pancakes are good, the waffles too. Waterfront Cafe is highly recommended in my book.

Was the first time. Went with my son after school. Food great, nice warm earthy New England clam chowder (a lot of clams), perfect shrimp scampi (just the right amount of garlic, enough for the taste and not get a "vampire killed with your breath") with a nice touch of sprinkled feta cheese served with a thick crispy in the outside and soft in the inside garlic bread. My son, chicken fingers a good serving with great tempura onion rings and rainbow sherbet. Great service, fast but not rush with a great social skill. Nice decor in the dining room. This will be not our last visit.

I love this place. I normally wait until I've had a few different meals at a place before writing a review but this place had such good breakfast that it merits recognition. I loved the potato pancakes and the mimosas special on Saturday morning. My GF had the Mediterranean skillet and the whole thing was reasonably priced. There were a variety of other breakfast dishes on the menu that I am looking forward to tasting and that doesnt even include all of the different items that looked great on the lunch and dinner menu.

Now the decor was probably never in style in SoCal to begin with but it has gone so far out of fashion that the frilly pastel interior has definitely come back with a vengeance. You'll marvel at the commitment to farmhouse chic and come to truly appreciate the awesome attitude and swagger of the place.

Great place for breakfast. Food is good, plenty of it. Lots of Seniors eat here. Owners are really friendly and staff always makes sure you have plenty of coffee. We go here twice a month.

Great service, excellent food.

Loved the friendly people, and loved the atmosphere. It felt like going to grandma's. Sweet waitress who took care of the whole room (we were there at a slow time) food was very good.

We've been coming here for years. Staff is terrific, food is consistently good, and prices are fair. Good clientele, lots of locals. Well worth a stop for a meal.

Seat your self is aways your option. Special of the day is always posted upon entering the door. Service is wonderful, never saw the bottom of a glass. Food was hot and we'll balanced and cooked as we ordered it.

The serving lady named Marianna is a awesome! She makes everything better. She is a cool cat 😁😁
I had a chicken Florentine and the food was fabulous too. 😁😁

I have been going here with my family for generations, even though I am the youngest. I will continue to come here especially when I need to give my kids a talk. Love the food here, staff, owner. :)

Great food, service, atmosphere, place for a quiet meal with your loved ones.

Me and my wife are Santa Ana Natives and we enjoy the family atmosphere...
Very caring and helpful staff...
It is our favorite place to enjoy a meal with lots of safe parking...
Enjoy...

Close as you'll get to home cooking and very reasonable prices. Very comfortable. Waitress's are awesome. Never wait for coffee refills.

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Great food, generous portions.

Great out of the way place to eat. I will be returning with my family. Prices were reasonable. Food was great.
