My wife belongs to the Landry's Dinner Club thing, so she had a birthday award. Since the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland went South, we drifted up the road to Knott's Berry Farm and right across the street was the Claim Jumper. I had the produce bar and my wife the fish and chips. Both were really outstanding; the service was outstanding and the atmosphere great. We had a CJ in Albuquerque, but Landry's decided to leave Albuquerque, so we are now Claim Jumperless. It was good in Albuquerque and it is good here. I would definitely recommend this place.

Sunrise Cafe

Reviewed By Beverlee R

Great little spot. We actually wanted breakfast at Knotts, but they didn't open till 11am, i was catching a flight out and couldn't wait. Found this on TA and it was close by, and had good reviews. It's in an old stripmall , not to impressive but don't let that stop you. The food was delicious, served really fast and hot. Our waitress was sweet and patient with my elderly father. I'm a fan of the little hole in the wall places, is go back for breakfast.

Katella Deli Bakery and Restaurant

Reviewed By dbr555dr

Nice large restaurant, very comfortable, and includes counter service. Food is NEW YORK JEWISH DELI style, so smoked pastrami, corned beef, tongue, salami, smoked fish, potato pancakes, matzo ball soup, Knish, borscht, and way so much more.Service is usually very good and was this time as well. My wife and I were there with my daughter, son in law and our grandson.Pickles came out first and were replenished on request.I had pastrami and corned beef on rye, called Randy's Choice. My wife had Chicken Salad on a Kaiser roll. Daughter and son in law each had pastrami.The place is less consistent then I would like, sometimes the meat is too fat or too stringy; sometimes the bread slices are too small. This time the bread was the right size and the meats were lean and melted in your mouth.The pickles, a free appetizer, were full dills. My 20 month old grand son ate most of the first plate of them so we asked for more.Food comes out quickly. The server stays nearby so we never waited for service.There is always a wait to be seated, but at the end of the meal you can go back through the restaurant and into their fresh bakery which is extensive and luscious appearing. We always get some cookies for my wife or kids. I usually buy a rye bread to extend the experience. I love this place and there is nothing better or even as good in Orange County or even south Los Angeles county.

Portillo's Hot Dogs

Home to America's favorite Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef, burgers, salads, and chocolate cake.

Reviewed By moviegal226

I've been to Portillo's in Chicago and figured this West Coast outpost would be pretty similar since it's difficult to mess up a hot dog. I was disappointed.We shared a sausage, hot dog, cheese fries, and a salad. The Polish sausage was fantastic, almost as good as the the original. The hot dog was okay, but their chili is loaded with beans. So gross. Nobody wants beans on their hot dogs! The fries were crispy, but the cheese was just a side of fake velveeta plastic cheese sauce for dipping, not melty, real cheese on top. The salad was awful, even though it was made fresh right in front of me. First, the description on the menu was wrong. I had gross lettuce and not romaine as described, and the walnuts on top were candied. That meant loads of added sugar that I didn't want or need. Nothing on the menu said they were candied. That could spell disaster if a diabetic ordered it!This location also doesn't have proper mustard for their wieners. They only have regular yellow table mustard, and no specialty mustards. That is a huge fail for a hot dog joint, if you ask me.

Such a fantastic place to spend some time with your family and friends. Atmosphere is perfect, but can be a bit noisy and worth ear plugs at times. The most amazing thing is they have a dog menu for my service dog. They serve his food in a dog bowl. He sits on the seat next to me.

Everything we ordered was excellent with the exception of the peach cobbler. Especially liked the mashed sweet potatoes. We had a friendly greeting and a very good waiter. Nice big booth which we requested. This restaurant is actually quiet, which is rare these days. Wish it was closer to home.
