Woody's Diner - Diner in Laguna Hills - 24321 Avenida De La Carlota, USA

10/4/23 Stopped by for breakfast at Woody's Diner in Laguna Hills today. Abigail was my server and was not only efficient and professional but with a smile that could light up the place. I started out with a cranberry juice and then ordered the Woody's omelet with sliced tomatoes and a side of cottage cheese. The food was tasty and served hot. Abbie was terrific and is definitely good at what she does. Recommended. 3/27/23 Always consistent in service and food. I had breakfast this morning, and Josh was my server. Good peaceful spot to enjoy a quality breakfast. The service, food, and surroundings were good, and one can never go wrong with a hot cup of Java and Woodys omelet plate. Highly recommended Previous visit A great place for breakfast. Stopped by Woodys today for breakfast and was greeted by Donna whom had a wonderful smile and disposition as I could tell she loved what she does. Donna quickly took my coffee order and promptly brought me a hot cup of tasty Java. Shortly thereafter Donna stopped by and took my order, yes, the Baja omelet with sliced tomatoes and cottage cheese. The coffee was refilled regularly as I sat awaiting my breakfast and faster than a speeding bullet lol my breakfast arrived. Donna stopped by and immediately noticed the guacamole and sour creme was not brought out and quicker than Flash Gordon she brought it over. Excellent service. The meal was fantastic and the service stellar. I highly recommend Woodys and yes the serve lunch and dinner as well. Ask for Donna as she is superb. All the staff are attentive as I have dined here often but Donna gets the gold star. Cheers

Well, tried the Fish and Chips and they were terrible totally wrong batter. Some burnt corn meal batter not light and crisp. So sad. Then only coleslaw or tomato slices for sides. What is that? Then the Shrimp scampi fettuccine was not good. Oh well! Won't ever be back. Maybe there other dishes are good 👍

This place was such a pleasant surprise. The prices are fair and the food was flavorful. This felt like the ultimate version of Denny's comparible to the chain Elmer's from the NW. I brought my elderly folks here for brunch and they were so happy. They served beer and have a full bar on site. I highly recommend for a family brunch.

Everything was good,I don't really complain even though I know there's a problem with my food,I don't know if its me but my French toast that I ordered had this weird taste🤔french toast is one of my favorites so I am certain that whatever grill that was use to cook my food,there was something else on that grill.Even my wife had a bite and BTW I don't share my food😁so she knew right away that there was something wrong😊.But anyways I ate it all,just had to smothered it with a lot of syrup and whipped cream😊.It was still a good experience regardless. I'll think twice though before we go back.✌️

Great place. Very good service. It was packed for breakfast. Will probably come back to try more things

Came in today at 9:00 am. I ordered the Easter special. When it arrived, I was surprised that they don’t serve it with bread. They give you butter but no bread. ( Meaby I should put the butter on the top of the cool down pancake with the whip cream?) So I asked the host if the order doesn’t come with bread. He did know, I guess ,so five minutes later this person shows up with attitude asking “What’s the problem?” I asked again about the bread and she just went off. This person has no business in this industry. Her attitude would be appreciated at “Karen’s Diner not at this “Family” restaurant. Despite all this I did leave 20% tip. Just because the stuff has very poorly trained manager-they shouldn’t pay the price for their hard earned money!!! Oh,and no crayons for the kids!!! Thank you for your reply! The thing is, if you serve butter on the side of pancakes that have a whipper cream that is already melted due to the temperature lost-the butter will not melt. I have never seen anybody adding cubed butter on top of cold pancakes. If that’s how this dish is supposed to be served than I apologize. I would be more than happy to order “ side of bread” if that would be an option. However, the “ manager” didn’t even mentioned it.This was very easy question I had and was very poorly handled by the floor staff. Floor manager should have basic communication skills. Happy Easter to you as well!

Very slow service, I had to find our server to place our order, and also to get the check. They just hang out in the back. Food is fine, something any basic cook could make. Beer battered fries - good, crispy, long Onion rings- BAD, the onion is dried and thin, the batter is good I guess. But I don’t like eating fried bread crumbs. Tuna melt - the tuna salad was flavorless, I had to close my eyes and focus to even know it was tuna. I came here solely because another review said the tuna melt was huge, big enough for 2 people...wrong?? I’ve been craving a GOOD FLAVORFUL tuna melt for weeks and this one was bland. Jalapeño chicken - fine Cinnamon roll - pretty good Famous Steak sandwich- no idea why this would be considered famous or special. Basic sandwich on dry bread For the prices, and large group, especially kids who are picky I think this place is fine. The menu is huge full of sandwich and burger options, salads, soups and it meets the requirements.The inside is fun decorated like a Hawaiian tiki bar.

Sorry to the servers that tried, but I had an absolute nightmare of a time here. I booked a reservation here a week in advance for a party of 25, which they assured they could accommodate. Then I checked back in 2 days prior to make sure. The party was for brunch, the day after my wedding, I had family fly in from Chicago, north Carolina, and several other places. It took almost 45 minutes to get water, and I asked 3 different servers who kept telling me they would bring something and never did. They only took 5 orders at a time, and I never even ate. They literally never even took my order. I had to continually ask for things we needed while guests remained starved and thirsty. One bar tender explained that the computers went down half way through our order so not only did people not have food, but what they were bringing out when they did was the wrong thing. I watched as the manager doing expo calmly hid in the kitchen, doing absolutely nothing to hurry up our breakfast. People ended up leaving early, leaving before everyone else, or waiting hours to be served. I was embarrassed in front of my family, and the restaurant offered NOTHING in compensation. I expected at some point for the manager to come apologize or to at least hurry up a couple orders, maybe throw out something for us to snack on while we wait, it's eggs and toast how difficult is it to make more than 5 orders of food? I have worked in kitchens with no computers, u shout an order or take it by hand. I was ashamed that my family had such an awful experience after my wedding, it was terrible and I was devastated.
