Woody's Diner — Restaurant in Yorba Linda

I've been here probably around 7 times. For the first couple times, I mainly got their burgers during lunch. The last 4 times I didn't and some of the things I ordered weren't that good in my opinion.

First, the burgers: Their burgers are just above par at best. When you ask for medium, they typically come out closer to medium rare and the they're not that well seasoned. The rest of the burger is good though, bun is soft, vegetables are crisp and fresh. The fries are thick cut and they give a fair amount.

The wraps: I believe I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap or something along those lines. Aesthetically, it looked nice and had a tight tuck. The flavor, however, was bland and dry. There was barely any sauce, the tortilla was very cold, and overall there wasn't too much content inside the tortilla. It was struggle to take it all down, but I managed Would not get again.

The chicken sandwich: Honestly, it was awful. The chicken breast was very flat and dry. It tastes and looks like they pull out a chicken breast, dump it in buttermilk then panko before pressing it down on like a grill top or something.

Breakfast: Ordered french toast with eggs and sausage. You know a classic. When I received my toast, I was given 3 triangle halves. It's not that I was expecting more or less, it's just that it is unusual to receive 3 halves. Normally, you take a full size toast, dip it in an egg batter and then cut them in half. So why would I be missing a half unless they are prepackaged or they simply threw it out. They also didn't taste good at all, so it is possible they were old or premade.

I also tried the meat lover breakfast skillet. The diced potatoes in it were pretty good, but the onions and pepper were lightly grilled and still kind of raw. The eggs were burnt on the bottom, which leads me to believe they don't scrape the charr off the grill top between orders. The ham was really chewy and hard to break down. Lastly, the skillet wasn't all that hot when it arrived.

Summary: So far, I've only found the burgers and sandwiches to be decent at Woody's diner. Everything else I tried has been disappointing. This is just an unbiased honest opinion. I've never complained to them nor made rude remarks and I tip every time despite not really having enjoyed the food. It's not a large bill and they're...

Went for a late lunch around 3:00pm with my wife. She ordered what she said was a very good pastrami sandwich. I ordered the Woody’s steak sandwich claimed to be similar to a Philly Cheesesteak. It tasted OK but every bite had small inedible pieces of gristle. I kept eating the first half of the sandwich thinking the first few pieces of gristle were isolated. Nope, I finished the 1st half sandwich with a little pile of gristle on the side of my plate. Ever the optimist I took one bite of the second half but again was pulling gristle out of my mouth. When asked, “How was your food?” I told the wonderful waitress the truth. “Mine was awful” and explained the problem with the meat. I suggested that they not serve this to other customers or they will lose customers.

A short while later the manager (per the waitress) said since I ate half they would reduce the sandwich price by 50%. No “sorry it was so bad or thank you for bringing this to our attention.” Plus it should have been the manager who came over to talk to me. I was not looking for a discount!

The restaurant itself is nice. The menu has plenty of causal dining options and per my wife a pretty good pastrami sandwich. Our waitress was the only one working all of the tables. She did a great job. But given the manager’s indifference I’m afraid we...

Came Sunday for lunch. Service was great, we sat out in back patio that had pretty good protection from elements. Trains ran behind & below, so could be a bit loud at times. I think the only seating for large groups is in patio -sorry, no pic. Loved the onion rings! Had parmesan breaded chicken sandwich with provolone and marinara and coleslaw. Coleslaw tasted pretty bitter to me, so I traded for onion rings. (I don't return things usually.) Marinara was tasty (had mine on the side), bread was nicely cooked with parmesan on outside. Chicken breading was light, but seemed overcooked. Chicken was very stringy and tough. To be fair, my friend had it the night before and said chicken was good, not tough, etc. I would come again and try something else in case my experience...
