Strange Brews Cafe — Restaurant in Buena Park

Three stars is really being nice I was debating for half of this review to put two stars. Yea I get if you get busy but I could barely get a drink order in without her starting to walk away she was so distracted or out of it I have no clue I think she wasn't trained to be a waitress I couldn't get my food order on without her walking away before I was done because I paused for a second. The eggs Benedict was horrid there was so much spinach and it wasn't even made correctly its supposed to be English muffin Canadian bacon spinach eggs Hollandaise sauce and you get to CHOOSE whether you want spinach or Canadian bacon like the customer can just say whether or not they want something taken off of their order not have to choose between the ingredients on their order there was probably like more spinach than there was English muffin the English muffin was soggy and not toasted everything was very bland there was again a bunch of spinach and I love spinach but I don't know what was wrong with it it did not taste good the only reason I even came to this restaurant is because my normal one wasn't even available and I review many restaurants many of them I barely even wanted to walk into this one my friend came in with me oh they got their order right oh and also I had a hard time with the waitress right but with every other customer she was perfectly fine with them but for some reason she had a problem with me because she wanted to get away from that table so quick I shouldn't have even left a tip but I only do because that's how I was raised my silverware tasted like dishwashers I was trying to eat and everything was so bland there was barely enough hollandaise sauce to cover the eggs and it was crunchy on the top layer and chunky never coming back honestly the bacon also tasted like everything else that was cooked on the grill. Also again I understand it takes a bit I've worked in a restaurant too but that doesn't mean you ignore your customers needs to hop around each table people understand that it takes a bit so use the understanding to actually be...

We went to Sunrise Cafe last Saturday on our way back to San Diego. This place was recommended by my cousins who are locals. It's located in the corner of a small stripmall. Not hard to find. Plenty of parkings available. Quite colorful inside. Seems lots of customers are local. It was lunch time for us so I order Philly Cheese Steak and Clam Chowder. My husband order the BLT and French fries. The servings are huge! On colorful plates ... my plate yellow, my husband's plate green. The food are quite good. Not too greasy. I liked the clam chowder! Plenty of big clams inside! I had to boxed half of my sandwich to go. Normally my husband will eat what i can't finish. Not this time. His lunch filled him up, he just couldn't help me out! My only regret is that I forgot cell phone so couldn't take any pictures. Well, I guess we just have to come back and try breakfast next time!

The price is decent, good food, cheerful waitresses AND plenty of parking. What more...

Strange Cafe changed its name, menu, and staff in February of this year, but kept all of the hundreds of reviews from the previous diner, Sunrise Cafe. I came thinking it was the same diner with a new name, but I was wrong, their menu’s completely different now. We got the smashburger and ribeye. My friend’s smashburger was good, he had no complaints. My ribeye dish was mid, the hash browns were really mushy, like mashed potatoes. Our server was nice but inattentive, we had to ask for our own drink refills, even though he saw my glass was empty for a while. The manager/owner came up to us check on us and to bring us the bill. After we paid and left, our server chased us outside asking if we paid, which is pretty embarrassing/unprofessional. I think you guys need to improve your staff communication and hash browns so something like that doesn’t happen to your future customers. The whole experience was strange (pun intended). Unfortunately we won’t be...
