Paul's Country Kitchen

Great meals and the best pancakes in town, along gas station type coffee and amazing customer service!

Home cooked breakfast with a cozy neighborhood feel. Breakfast was delightful and came out has described in the menu. The breakfast sandwich truly was delicious and brought back memories of Christmas morning and Grandma making these delicious morning sandwiches. The French toast tasted great too served witharge pieces of bacon. There are daily breakfast specials not listed on the menu but noted on a blackboard outside. The ambiance has a hometown neighborly feel. It seems that many regulars visit this cafe. During our visit we noticed the cafe can fill up quickly. There are a few booths for a more private feel. The are plenty of outside seating but if it is too cold in the morning, then I suggest to arrive early. Service was quick and friendly. Coffee was always at the ready just to keep the mug warm. The location seemed very clean. Servers bussed the tables quick to allow new patrons to sit and enjoy. The price is somewhat similar to what you would expect typical franchise eateries. However, the taste of the food, the service and neighborhood feel makes up for the difference.

Paul’s Country Kitchen is an absolute gem when it comes to breakfast spots. This charming, family-owned restaurant offers everything you could want from a classic American diner—and more. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It’s clear that the staff truly cares about their customers, and the service reflects the kind of hospitality you can only get at a family-run business. The food is outstanding. Whether you’re craving fluffy pancakes with a generous pat of butter, rich and creamy biscuits and gravy, or a hearty plate of eggs, bacon, and crispy hash browns, Paul’s Country Kitchen delivers with both flavor and portion size. Everything tastes homemade, and you can tell it’s prepared with love and attention to detail. One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency—every visit is just as good as the last. The menu has a great variety, and there’s something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a light breakfast or a big, satisfying meal. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. If you’re looking for a cozy, reliable spot to enjoy a delicious breakfast with friends or family, I can’t recommend Paul’s Country Kitchen enough. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back again and again. A true local treasure!

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in years! Highlights: - The bacon sprinkled on my biscuits and gravy! - The warm syrup for the pancakes. - Friendly amazing service I hate purple onions. - And an off hook, chicken fried steak!

My husband and I needed to kill time while waiting for a friend and I googled “restaurants near me”; this was not the first/only restaurant but it was the only one that caught our attention. We wanted to go somewhere small and cozy, great food at great prices, with an atmosphere and staff who are friendly and upbeat…This checked all our boxes! Every member of the staff(young and young-at-heart) were delightful! It’s been our experience that you “take in what you dish out”(pun intended). I’ve personally never felt more cozy in any other restaurant! The moment we walked through their literally open doors I caught smiles and positive energy from both staff and guests. It was noisy like most restaurants during breakfast time but not inappropriately noisy. You could tell the conversation was low key and respectful. The crowd was primarily older adults which I assume are probably regulars. The decor was very country American and even the bathroom was comfortable to be in. It was clean and tidy. Most importantly….The FOOD was delicious! I ordered the Tijuana scramble with hash browns and a side of homemade biscuits. My husband got the mushroom burger with fries. I can’t speak for his burger(though he did rave about it) but I was very satisfied with my choice. Everything tasted fresh and the eggs were moist and not overcooked. Loved the veggies mixed in and the roasted corn salsa gave that extra bit of flavor (without the heat). The biscuits rivaled my mom’s biscuits and with a little butter they were perfection! The ladies there were awesome and checked on us long after we’d finished our meal even just to chat. We both had such a memorable experience and can’t wait to go back!

I have not been to this place in years. (TWO SISTERS) Today I ordered my usual from when I did come here every Wednesday with my Grandfather and it's was just as delicious as I remember! Definitely come here and enjoy the comfort of home and the great hospitality!

Food was delicious. A perfect American breakfast restaurant. Great for brunch. It a usually busy, a little wait time. Soon table gets cleared. Service is quite cool.

I’m new to the area and this was just the kinda place I was looking for ! This place checked all my boxes for a yummy breakfast ! How do you want your bacon,Biscuits and Gravy, warm syrup, salsa and all you can drink refreshing itea. My Son and I both enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Thank you Garrett for the excellent service today !

What can I say we're creatures of habit. Once again my husband had a craving for chicken fried steak and the first pace he always think of is Two Sisters aka Paul's Country Kitchen. Whenever you walk in you are greeted with a hello and a smile! We usually choose either the counter or a nice two seater table so we can take it the quaint home town charm they always offer with the seasons decorations around and the amazing wall of dogs on your way to the restroom!

They are not subtle about their Red State pride. Adorning the walls are American Flags and a large assortment of objects bearing its colours. There are also unapologetic displays of their Christian faith. The two ideas are merged in a truly tasteful crucifix bearing the Stars and stripes just above the cash register. Also of note is the "Don't Tread On Me" sign attached to the refrigerator. The only thing this place is missing is a Confederate Flag. Some might find it tacky, others might find it patriotic and devoutly Christian. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and always swinging around the tables to refill your coffee or just to check up on customers. The restaurant feels a little cramped, but it's very clean and the aforementioned decor gives the place a unique personality in Orange County. There's a lot of laughing and smiles, that overall good vibes in the dining area. The food itself is very good. The omelette I had was delicious, and the coffee was okay. The prices are fairly reasonable too. Next time I come there I'll have to try the French toast. If you're an old Lefty like me, don't dismiss this place out of hand. Yes, the restaurant looks like it came from a Conservative wet dream. I oddly find it has a certain charm. I would suggest to leave the politics at the door, and just enjoy some good company and good food.

Our waitress was Tina she's so sweet so nice fun to chat with she's like family our food was great as usual. I absolutely love my grits with extra cheese I only get them here I love the decoration inside all decorations made home made like. There's even a shelf for regulars to have their own coffee cups. So cool ! Thank you for yet another wonderful breakfast. We will see you soon Tina.

It's been a while since my first review here, so an update is in order :) Paul's still has the cozy, homey inside dining room, but now has expanded their outside seating with more tables and chairs ~ a great option when the weather is nice! Even sitting outside, service was great. Our food came out in a timely manner and our server made sure our coffee cups were kept full. We both ordered breakfast today. My friend's omelette with egg whites was beautiful and my chicken fried steak was delicious. It's great to be able to come here knowing that the food is consistently good and service is always friendly.

Very excellent service. Lots of breakfast choices and good, hot coffee. Food arrived quickly and hot (not cold). Prices are reasonable too.

Paul's Country Kitchen looks like a very local favorite in Placentia. I came here after shopping at Trader Joe's and was looking for some tasty American breakfast. I came across Paul's and decided to give this place a try. I automatically fell in love with how they made the inside and the patio, with tons of decorations that really make you feel like you are in America. The menu has a vast variety of options. I picked something off of the house favorites which was named Tijuana Treat! It has three eggs and is filled with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and cheese. Overall whatever they did it was good! I ate the whole thing!! So if you are looking for delicious diner style food this is the spot with friendly service.

Never even knew this place existed until snagging a drink at the new Better Buzz near by.. Took the family hoping for an excellent breakfast, but sadly it was a let down... I will note that the service was excellent! A complete five stars to their team for the friendly, helpful, and prompt service. It was a busy Saturday morning but no family was left hanging.. Where I drop to three stars is the food. The presentation will get you, but you wont find a match with taste. The plates come out so perfectly decorated with their fine breakfast choices. Large fluffy pancakes, tasty looking bacon and sausage. Even the eggs looked satisfying, all yellow and funky. Unfortunately our table unanimously agreed the food had no flavor. Everything was so bland, couldn't even be saved with the salt/pepper, jellies, syrup, etc. I hate to break it, but the food fits the taste buds of a certain crowd, but we aren't there.. For my plate, the peaches were probably the only half decent part, but those were simply poured into a bowl from a can.. With some enhancements to the flavor, this place would have so many more people leaving satisfied. Until then, I donated $90 to an uncomfortable meal.. Heavy love to the staff though x2, the world needs more people like them.

Service was great. Packed lil restaurant on strip mall. Seemed to be a lot regulars at this place. Parking is good. They have daily specials. The coffee was light for me. They are attentive to all patrons. My order was Debbie's special 2 pancakes, 1 egg 2 bacon/sausage. I ordered a side of toast. Pancakes were decent and flavor of vanilla.However the butter they use is margarine. It doesn't melt. There was a hefty coating it just sits on top of of whatever item it is put on. Therefore that was my low rating. We ordered oatmeal as well and the fresh fruit was partial fresh they also added canned peaches.I would probably not be back not my taste but give it a shot it might be something else you like. Service is impeccable.

Best pancakes. Tasted like they were made in a pan. Really exquisite. Would come back again! Incredible! Didn't expect Ru Paul to be there though...

We walked in on an early Sunday morning and were greeted and seated right away. Our server was one of the friendliest people we've encountered, bringing the concept of unreasonable hospitality to life. The food was good, and I particularly loved the variety of breakfast side options. Fresh tomatoes and sourdough toast with a scramble sounded just perfect. The place was bustling, and the bathroom decor was always fresh and interesting. I also enjoyed the dog wall. If I lived nearby, I would definitely be a regular!

Came here yet again for the country fried steak and super pleased with it!! Love that they aren't stingy w the gravy and that they let you semi customize your plate! So for me I got extra crispy hashbrowns and a pancake on the side, super delicious, super fresh, staff is super friendly ...seriously can never go wrong!

The host and the waitress were both nice and accommodating. We had avocado toast (one order each). The food was definitely fresh, and the salsa they brought over to add on top of yourself was a great addition. Without it, there wasn't much flavor at all but we wanted something lite and this was it! The portion size for the amount you pay was worth it compared to any other socal restaurant. The decor inside is exactly what you think it might be for an old Timey restaurant and gave off a certain vibe.

I took the pancake tour. I tried pancakes at eight different restaurants. Paul's had the best combination best flavor syrup, whipped Reel butter, hands-down, the best pancake pancakes.

As always the service was spot on - timely and pleasant . Love the Tijuana Treat because who could ask for more than eggs, seasoned ground beef, ortega chili and cheese.

Small mom/pop spot with the friendliest servers. Feels very much like "grandmas kitchen". Food was good and served quickly. My only issue is that it is incredibly hot in there. They had the doors open for air flow but it did not help much as we were all sweaty by the time we left breakfast.

We stopped here for breakfast after an extra hour on the night shift due to the end of DST. Parking is ample at the store front. Decor is classic country with country music in the background. Our friendly and quick server was Garrett who met us with a smile.. We split a Sunday only omelette with avocado and bacon, substitute hashbrowns for fruit and coffee. Food arrived, hot and quickly. Very excellent service. Our meal was delicious and very reasonably priced. Also note the sparkling, clean men's room, with the decor of classic car photos. Excellent touch. Well recommended, we will return

Great food and service. They also serve lunch for those people that don't like breakfast

Quaint mom and pop style country restaurant. Stopped in with my mother in law for a late breakfast and it was delicious. Staff was very attentive and gracious. We did realize it was so close to closing time, but we were seated and served. My mother in law ordered a breakfast burrito and I got the French toast with a side of biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious. Support local and stop in.

We love this place. Consistently delicious for 30+ years..... Family favorites include the lumberjack which my husband gets, Char's country breakfast and the Corned Beef Hash. Some of the servers have been here many years also so it always feels familiar like going home.

Paul's is your quintessential family Country Kitchen at Services Brea, Placentia and Yorba Linda. The food is always great and the staff is always warm and friendly. Paul's always feels like you're "at home". You really can't go wrong with any of the food items.

THE SERVICE IS TOP TIER!!!! the food is DELICIOUS!!! Coffee is hot drinks are ice cold!!! Our waiter was a tall gentleman that was so amazingly nice and sweet, and he did anything and everything to serve us a great meal and experience at the restaurant. We really appreciated the service and we will definitely be back again!

The food was good, the service was great, and the pricing is what it is these days. I had the Country Breakfast (biscuits topped with sausage patties and gravy, country fried potatoes), and my date had the steak and eggs (I got her pancake!) with sliced tomatoes instead of the potatoes. The steak was a little plain with no sear marks but was properly cooked to medium and had good flavor. They don't have horseradish available if you like that on your steak. The Country Breakfast was plenty good and plenty of it. With the added pancake, I could only eat hslf and took the rest home for breakfast another day. The gravy was the right temperature to eat without burning my mouth, the eggs and patties were warm enough, and the coffee was hot. But the service here was nothing short of excellent. Great at greeting, taking the order, delivery of everything, a little conversation about the place, delivering the check, everything was with a smile. The employees all seemed happy to be there, and if they were faking that, they nailed the performance. We shall return!

Our first time but definitely not our last! The food (I had the banana pancakes - yum!) was delicious and the service was very friendly and speedy! Thank you to Reyna for amazing service!! Very clean and one of those good old home type restaurants we love!!

This is a wonderful little spot for breakfast. They have all of the usual breakfast options, very tasty and freshly made. I love their biscuits and gravy, some of the best I have had. The wait staff is very friendly, attentive and efficient. The prices are not outrageous and the ambiance is very farmhouse casual. I would highly recommend this place.

Hands down the best breakfast I've had in years! Highlights: - The bacon sprinkled on my biscuits and gravy! - The warm syrup for the pancakes. - Friendly amazing service I hate purple onions. - And an off hook, chicken fried steak!

Third try at Paul's and nothing but disappointment. The scrambled eggs were overcooked and had brown edges, the hash browns were cold, the bacon was cold and tasted like it was cooked yesterday, and the pancakes were really heavy and firm. For a place that is breakfast focused patrons expect more.

AMAZING LOCAL DINER. My favorite, small, locally owned, diner. It's the perfect diner food with amazing service! If you go on a weekend morning there will be a wait, but just be patient. The place is small and they do a great job for the quality to price point for their food. Will always be on my favs list.

My sister and I stopped for a brunch. We moved out of state, but make sure to come to Paul's country kitchen. We love Tina! She's such a great server, going above and beyond! We have been going over all the years the two sisters bought it. The cook makes everything taste amazing! Nothing is not delicious! We had the Kelpie which you will never find anywhere else! Perfection !

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning, bad mistake I'm sorry to say, the food was horrendous, seemed like it was right out a vending machine. Ordered a breakfast burrito and French toast, both seemed like tv dinner quality. I'm sorry, both my GF and myself concur on this sentiment, had to warn others.

This place is great! The staff are excellent and the food is great. I love their breakfast plates and biscuits and gravy is really good. Been here a half dozen times in the past year and will continue to come back

Good food, typical local eating spot. Kind of a communal friendly atmosphere since a lot of the customers are regulars and come there all the time. The food quality is way above average, the service is more communal and friedly than just going into a typical restaurant. Prices are good and best of all they give you made-in-the-restaurant cookies with the meal. I think their chicken fried steak is the best in north orange county. Burke leon (Eatinglunchout)

Good fresh food. Great service. Consistent value. Wish the coffee was better. But close to home. And we like supporting small local businesses!

This small kitchen could really handle a crowd. Food is good. Their seasonal pancakes are great but they don't mention the up charge. I've ordered hash browns several times. Every single time the hash have arrived undercooked. You have had to ask for them to be cooked well, to avoid a mushy center. Their menu prices are not updated so expect to pay more than advertised.

The service here is personal and they strive to make sure you have everything you want. Eating here is like eating with family. The French toast is pretty good. Coffee is perfect cafe/diner coffee. The bacon is crispy and delicious. The Biscuits and Gravy are wonderful. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Tables and booth plus seats at the counter if your by yourself. Being very popular I usually come early as it can get crowded. I love this place for breakfast. On the weekends the local sheriffs deputies eat her which proves just how good this place is.

Good substitute for Kimmie's as the servers here are a lot more pleasant and warm. Ordered the macadamia pancakes which were tasty. We also ordered the eggs Benedict which was also good. The hash browns were just ok which is why I took a star off, a bit bland.. had to use lots of salt and pepper to add flavor. Overall, I'd come back to try other items on the menu. The staff were really friendly and not super busy on a mid-Saturday morning so that was a plus!!

Food: this is my favorite American diner to go to. I always get the chicken fried steak! I learned today that you can replace your toast with a pancake, and it was the best option for me. I've always wanted one pancake to get my fix in but not be overwhelming. Food here tastes amazing and their gravy is my favorite. Service: They're usually pretty busy inside and so it is understandable they can miss a few things. They do their best, and the food comes out in decent time. Ambiance: It feels like home inside. It's very clean and there's ample parking in the lot.

Friendly, fast and fantastic. My first time here and the coffee is great. This is what you want for a country breakfast complete with comfortable setting and friendly welcome. They cooked the bacon perfect and crisp, and the pancakes were fluffy and good. Warm bottle of syrup to boot. Wished I lived around here to make this a regular place! Tip- get here before 7 am and you can get a seat quickly. It fills up fast.

My gf and I were in search for a new breakfast spot locally and found Paul's country kitchen. The servers are all great! They are always providing great customer service and are very attentive and friendly. There's been times when we weren't sure what to order and they all give great menu recommendations. It seems like everything in the menu is great and there isn't a dish you can go wrong with. I recommend the Tijuana treat, mega skillet, French toast, and the pancakes are great as well. The OJ is a must try! If you like homemade hot sauce, definitely ask to try both sauces. The pricing is fair and portions are generous. If you're not so hungry a dish can be shared between two people. Inside and outside seating is available and it can get pretty busy depending on the time of day. There is a waiting list to place your name before seating.

First time here and was pleasantly impressed with the customer service and how quickly my food was ready and of course it was delicious

I have been here twice. The first time I dined in and most recently, I ordered food to go. I had the chicken fried steak when I dined in and it was pretty tasty. I ordered a bacon and egg breakfast plate to go and everything was good as well. It came with two eggs, which I got scrambled, 4 pieces of bacon, hash brown and a choice of bread. I asked for well done bacon and hash brown and both came out really crispy and delicious. For the bread, I had a biscuit smothered in country gravy. The biscuit was buttery and soft. The gravy was thick and savory, but it had bacon pieces instead of the traditional sausage. I think I would have enjoyed it more with sausage. Prices were reasonable given that the serving size was pretty big and the food was enough to share between two people. Customer service was good and service for take out was quick. However, there can be a long wait during peak hours and weekends as this restaurant is popular amongst the locals.

Water polo team in town looking for a Saturday breakfast at 10am. Paul's was great - setting up a table outside for the boys (30 all in). Service was great and fast. Food was delish! Would heartily recommend!

Excellent menu, ambiance & service! AND its local !!! Great service & food. portions generous & leftovers never make it past the 10:00 pm news!!!

Highly highly recommend this place! Great food! They were as sweet as could be when I came in the door. Kind feels like you're just eating at home! Really like this place and it gives you almost a vibe of eating at big bear lol. Would 100% come back

Was introduced to this place about 2 years ago. Very small and intimate mom and pop that is full of hustle and bustle the way you would expect a breakfast only place to be. Everything from eggs to chicken fried steak you can explore the menu and find something for everyone. They are also famous for their house made giant cinnamon rolls! Seems like a family owned place because everyone seems to be on that level with each other. Service is great and for the most part quick! The kitchen can get backed up but for how much they put out in food compared to how many tables so tip of the cap to them!

Stopped by for breakfast because it was a yelp suggested venue. Cozy little diner style restaurant. Great service, good food, enjoyed the biscuit and Gravy, and the friendly wait staff who even transferred my soda into a to go cup and topped it off before I left. I'll definitely be returning.

We always enjoy a tasty breakfast at Paul's Country Kitchen AKA Two Sister's Cafe. The wait staff is friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. My husband ordered the Queen's French Toast, made with cinnamon rolls. If that wasn't decadent enough he opted for a topping of peaches and whipped cream. They keep their syrup decanters in a crock pot to ensure the syrup is a nice, warm temp. If you're looking for a good, homey breakfast experience give them a go

OK, first things first, I hate giving this restaurant any kind of negative but yesterday's experience definitely warrants it. First, when I lived in Brea 25 years ago, I used to go to this restaurant many many times. Always one of our favorites. No longer live in Brea and yesterday had to take the wife to UCI Medical Center in Orange So on the way home we decided to see if this was still a route. To our amazement it was. We just had to eat here again. Everything was as I remembered it. Even called my daughter and sent her pictures to tell her about where we were. So far review doesn't warrant any negativity. Halfway through our meal, I saw something that I thought was moving on the ground. Lo and behold it was about one and a half inch long cockroach. Just wandering around on the floor. I asked our server if she could come over to us and she did and I proceeded to whisper to her about that there was a bug on the floor and kind of halfway pointed towards that direction so she will get an idea of where and she abruptly said "be quiet.". Well I was quiet and I just told her I wanted to make her aware and she said that they had just sprayed for bugs the day before and she hates when that happens. Now at this point I still don't have a problem because things happen and I understand. I was a little thrown off by her "be quiet " comment to me, but OK no worries. I'll let it go. She sent a busser to see where it was, and I kind of pointed to him where it was, and he actually did spot it and grabbed a napkin and was able to catch one of them. I forgot to mention at that point I had seen two that seem to get together and hang out in the same spot together, but the guy caught at least one. Just threw the napkin into the trash and that was that. What throws me off is that our server never said another single solitary word to me about it. " thank you for letting me know.", " oh my gosh I'm so sorry", absolutely nothing. My wife is human resources for a multi million dollar company and she said that type of customer service would never happen at her stores. Would not be tolerated. I get this is a mom and Pop place, but you could at least say something to your customers. I mentioned to the server that the table of senior ladies behind us were also looking at it and looked like they were kind of scared or disgusted, but they were never addressed. Like a little damage control goes a long way you know. Didn't really want to hurt this establishment by a bad review but I do want management to know what's going on .

Good little spot off the path but right there. Crowded and lively. Decent food and good people. I ordered a Turkey burger and onion rings. Tasted good and it was delicious. I will be back soon

Went to PCK for the 1st time for brunch. As expected, it was very busy and there was a wait time. It was warm inside the restaurant. No A/C? and our server was very friendly. I tried the breakfast skillet and loved it. Yes, it was fillingI was also curious and tried their pancakes that were reviewed well. I am respectfully disagreeing about how good they are but understand we all have different taste buds. Having said that, I likely will go back and try other dishes next time.
