Reviews for Mr D's Diner, Bakery & Bar in Placentia, CA
Came for lunch at 1:30pm on a a Friday. Not busy. Service friendly and great. Clam chowder hot and delicious. Caesar salad... tasty. Perfect amount of dressing. Lemonade actually tastes like lemonade and not chemicals. Its very good (any lemonadedrinkers know it can be very hit and miss). Ordered Turkey burger with cheddar and fries and a chicken avocado sandwich withonion rings. They do give you tons of food with your order. Soup, fries (or fruit or cole slaw) and entree. The Turkey burgerwas juicy and delicious and the bun is toasted. The fries are solid even though they are steak fries and I generally dislikesteak fries. Chicken avocado sandwich is on point. Onion rings solid. Not crazy about their ranch dressing though. Onlynegative. This place is great! Read more
This was a fun atmosphere to have breakfast. The decor really makes this a unique experience. The classic cars converted into... seating was a nice visual treat. Breakfast was good although the hash browns had a bit of a artificial flavor. The eggs andchicken fried steak were cooked properly and tasted fine.we had a good waitress that was busy but did check on us regularly.Overall a good experience. Read more
I applaud the attempt this restaurant makes to create the feeling you are an "All American" diner. There's a fifty's theme mixed... with murals of the local city of the artist interpretation of what the town may have looked back then. There is even a partialChevrolet converted into a both to sit and enjoy dinner. The food options are typical for any diner featuring breakfast lunchand dinner options at anytime. There are couple dinning areas that offer secultion from the main dining area (possibly forlarger groups). There is also a small separate bar area. However, the restaurant falls short in its attempt to transform theenvironment into into that diner it so wants to be. Most notably missing is a walkup countertop with stools as you would noticewith older diners. There are few bakery options. Food price on the high end for the basic options. If you want to sit in theChevrolet booth it will cost you group an extra $20. Overall, decent restaurant. A step higher then the corporate diners.Friendly staff. Live music (on certain days). Restroom facilities are clean. Read more
I have only order out once so far; the reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. I've ordered the club sandwich. I was... expecting the quality to be just okay or 'meh.' But I was surprised how good it tasted and was surprised on the portion. I hadjust ordered it for myself but the portion was enough to feed two adults. A little pricey but the quality and the portions wereworth it. Will give it another go once I got money to burn. Read more
It's fine. Diner food that is better than Denny's and has some some funky old school ambiance. I enjoyed the pastrami... sandwich. Service was friendly. Tilapia was not too great, but passable for what it is. Grandma got the senior meatloaf andthe portions were pretty big; she said she enjoyed it. Overall, decent food, but a little pricey. Read more
Love their food! Had the rib-eye steak one toke and the chicken Marsala the other. Both times the food were delicious and the... staff is great, especially Lisa and her daughter who are both waitresses. Read more
Well, well what can I say about a place like this? It's lively, plenty to see plus it has good music. This is a Rock-N-Roll... setting that will please everyone. The food is great and plentiful not to mention the selection offered. The 57 Chevy booth is amust for the enthusiasts just bare in mind that there's a fee for it. Our grandkids got a kick out of it. Hop in next timeyou're looking for a unique experience. "Thank you, thank you very much" Read more
Your typical dinner menu with some good original additions. More lighter options than usual. Big portions and great quality... overall. Friendly servers and a retro vibe. Would come back! Read more
