The Farmhouse Grill

Set in the middle of a golf course is this dinner that kind of reminds me of Knott’s Berry Farm, for it’s décor and quality of food served. It seems this is a golfer’s secret hide-​out, as it is off the beaten path of Irvine, and not a college student to be seen in sight. The food is mostly breakfast and lunch cuisine, which matches the golfer’s schedule to a tee! The food is Americana, with the typical eggs and bacon and ham; they ran out of sausage! I had a burrito, which tasted more gringo than mexican, so I guess they ran out of chorizo as well. My wife had the eggs, ham and pancakes, which was decent, but nothing special. All in all, I’ll let the golfer’s keep their secret and will try more of the other restaurants in Irvine, as there are soo many nice places to choose from. If I were a golfer, I guess this is convenient, but I would not drive out of the way to come here; there’s always Knotts, which is my favorite for breakfast, and half as far!

My second visit and we were not disappointed. Ambience is open, airy and quite pleasant. Menu is not extensive but entrees were very nicely prepared and served hot. Service was excellent. For lunch we had tuna melt and grilled Ruben sandwiches, both fresh and tasty. Fruit side was best I’ve had in years, ample and fresh, not the typical few little mealy pieces served in many restaurants. We’ll definitely be back. Prior visit was for breakfast. Again, fresh and well prepared omelette dishes. This will be a regular stop for us!

Menu is super super basic… grilled cheese, french dip, …so I went with the completely safe chicken pesto panini. Not great: dried up chicken, mustard. Bleh. The side «fresh» fruit is anything but. Pretty sad fruit, shriveled up strawberries right next to a strawberry farm.
Can kind of gauge a place by their lemonade. This place serves Hi-​C pink lemonade as «lemonade.»
Serves a small purpose (quick bite after golf) but there is absolutely no pride in this place. I expected more, my mistake.

Great location with a killer view of a driving range (if you like watching duffers hit range balls). We had lunch on a breezy day. Patio seating was very pleasant. Staff very friendly, service was efficient and prompt.
Good menu selection with fair prices. Would like to try breakfast next time

I/​we come here for the Waldorf salad. In my humble opinion, it is the best salad in Orange Co.
Beautiful setting on the Strawberry Farms Golf Course, it is a tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle.

Better than your average golf club food. Nothing very special but you’re at Strawberry Farms which in itself is awesome. Beautiful course. Do not need membership.

Food: I love their Grilled Salmon Salad. I’ve had it numerous times and I have never been disappointed once. This salad is pretty much the only reason why I come here to eat.
Service: Service can be slow if there’s a huge lunch rush, but it’s usually good. Their wait staff are always friendly.
Location: It’s located at the clubhouse at the golf course. Come here if you want to have a nice quiet and relaxing lunch with some awesome Orange County weather.

Maybe 3.5 stars.
The food is 3 stars for sure, nothing is special, nothing is that great. The food is just okay. Service is 4 stars, and environment is 5 stars.
It’s a nice place to go for breakfast if in the area. They have outdoor and indoor seating and don’t need any reservations, I like to sit outside. If you don’t see a server to seat you, just sit yourself down at a table and a server will get to you. It’s usually very quiet except for the sounds of the driving range nearby.
I usually just go because there is no wait and it’s just a nice and relaxed atmosphere.
Go to Tanaka Farms afterwards to visit the farm and go strawberry picking!

I love this place! Open to the public and there is never a wait. There is a large outdoor patio with spacious seating. Small dining room and small bar.
Great, quick service. C.J. was our server today for lunch. He was extremely polite and attentive to our party of 8.
Tuna melt is my favorite! Fries are excellent here too. They have regular or sweet potato. Other delicious lunch items are the club sandwich and the waldorf salad.
Hold your breath if you have to use the bathroom. They are always immaculately clean but there is a strong odor.
I recommend coming here for lunch and sitting outside. There are shaded umbrellas, the weather is always great, and it’s very relaxing and peaceful.
