I love the food and great service. They have short hours of operation but a great place to eat.
We get excited about going to Paul's. The food is ALWAYS good - there's nothing in the menu that isn't awesome. The cinnamon rolls are jaw dropping. The corned beef hash is the best around. And the ambience reminds you of the old school diners. This is REAL down home cooking!
Really good food, great service, and larger portions that could easily feed 2.
I got here by opening time and was able to enjoy coffee, gravy biscuits, and eggs. Service was amazing and food wait time was less than 5 minutes. A perfect breakfast to start the work day. I highly recommend Paul's pantry for the grand selection of menu items at affordable pricing. Next time I will bring the spouse in for breakfast time. I'm eager to try the cinnamon rolls for my next visit.
This is a great breakfast place. They are known for their cinnamon rolls so it's worth giving it a try. The eggs were cooked well and the service was impeccable.
My wife and I were in the area so we decided to stop at Paul's Pantry for breakfast. Paul's is known for great breakfast. Paul's is a breakfast, lunch restaurant. I ordered the award winning chicken fried steak. My wife got the breakfast burrito. The food was fantastic. But what makes a good restaurant better is GREAT service. Jennifer our waitress, was exceptional. She was so friendly and nice, extremely professional. She came back to check on us and brought extra napkins. She made a good meal even better. I can't say enough about how good she was. We will be coming back and I will ask to sit on Jennifer's station.
We came in for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The service was friendly and the food hit the spot. Since they serve both breakfast and lunch, it’s an easy place to recommend to others. We’ll be back!
Simple space and atmosphere but worth going especially for a good hearty breakfast. I've never been there for lunch or dinner so can't speak to that but I assume it's also good. The staff is very nice as well.
Excellent food and service at this breakfast/brunch spot in Mission Viejo. Not the biggest place inside, but a nice sized patio adds plenty of seating. Great coffee and the chicken fried steak was excellent. Oh and the giant cinnamon bun is not to be missed!!
Paul’s Pantry is hands down one of the best breakfast spots around! The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious — from the perfectly cooked eggs to the fluffy pancakes and hearty portions. The service is just as good — friendly, welcoming, and fast, even when it’s busy. It’s also a huge plus that they open early, making it the perfect place to start your morning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great breakfast and great people!
