Paul's Pantry - Mission Viejo

This was my second time coming here and it was better than the first. I'll start by saying that each time I've been here the service was great. The people that work here seem to be amazing and do a great job taking care of customers. I think people typically take a 3 star as being negative but I don't look at it that way and if it were possible I'd give it 3.5 stars. The reason for my rating is the food. They have a great selection of items but nothing that I've had so far has wowed me. I got the machaca omelet and it was better than the pancakes I had during my previous visit, which to be fair was years ago. Personally I think the food is decent but the price point is a little high in comparison to the food taste.

Had a business trip in the area and I can’t eat hotel breakfast. Ended up at Paul’s Pantry every morning. This place is fantastic, an old school diner that feels very comfortable. Owners are on site super friendly. Can’t say enough about it. Even though I was 1500 miles away from home, this place felt like home. Highly recommended. Will miss it.

Had the homemade corned beef hash with over medium eggs and buttered toast. The portions were large so I left quite a bit behind. There were many different kinds of juices which was nice. The 7am service was good. This seems to be a family ran business. Mother and son taking care of the register and table service.

My friends and I meet up for a weekly brunch and decided to come to Paul's for the Cinnamon rolls. The food was all fine, honestly. My friends that drink coffee said it was decent. I had the egg white scramble with turkey ham... I would just go straight turkey sausage next time. The turkey ham was odd, but the egg whites were nice and fluffy. Our server seemed genuinely bothered by us from the get-go, so I have no idea what was up with that. I was even going to order a turkey burger to go, but he didn't even check to see if we wanted anything else, just came and laid down the check. We went to Snooze this week instead of returning to Paul's

The special breakfast is relatively sweet. I personally can't eat very sweet breakfast.
