The Greeter's Corner Restaurant - Laguna Beach, California

I visited this restaurant in early October and just now have the chance to leave a review.

We arrived in the evening and saw a halal burger option advertised outside. The staff was welcoming, and a friendly young lady handed us the menus.

However, we couldn’t find halal items on the menu, so I asked her about the advertised halal sandwich. She seemed unsure and went to ask her manager, eventually pointing out one sandwich. When I asked if it was the only option, she appeared uncertain and gave some unsolicited answers.

Despite this, I ordered a confirmed dish, which was served promptly and tasted great. Prices were a bit high, but it's understandable given the beach location. My concern was the staff member's lack of knowledge about halal food. If you want Muslim customers, please clearly confirm halal options, as confusion like this might make us hesitant to return. The service was still excellent, and they waited for us to leave before cleaning and closing.

Every time I visit Laguna Beach, this brunch spot is my favorite place to go. The food is really good, always fresh and full of flavor. No matter what I order, it never disappoints. The view of the ocean is beautiful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff are also very friendly, which makes the experience even better. It’s the best spot to start the day with a great meal and a great view!

We really enjoyed eating here! The location is amazing as it’s right off of Main Beach and Forest Ave. We sat outside and watched the beautiful sunset. The waiter, host, and manager were so kind to us! They each chatted with us which was so nice, but they also gave us space to eat and enjoy each others company. The food was VERY good! The whole experience is worth the price for sure! I haven’t had that amazing sunset view from a restaurant and the food was so good! I definitely recommend this place and will be coming back!
A side note, we actually had been recommended a sports bar and grill across the street. We are in our 20’s with 2 kids, and had to leave before we even ordered. We decided on the Greeters Corner and I’m so happy we did! We wouldn’t have gotten to see the sunset from our table or had a quiet and relaxing dinner at the other place. Absolutely pleased with this place!

The view is the best part. The food was perfectly adequate but the quiet view of an amazing sunset made it worth every penny. If you are OK with average bar food and just want to relax next to some street entertainment and a relaxing view, this is a good place for you.

After an afternoon at the beach with our puppy we were looking for a dog friendly restaurant that had clam chowder. The patio area was perfect and the clam chowder was truly amazing!! Wish they had bigger bowls of chowder but we loved this place and will come back on our next visit. The staff is very good and while we were to full for desert they had some amazing selections. Our pup loved the burger patty with no seasoning. He gave it a 5 star rating!!!

Nice, filling breakfast with a view that can't be beat. The server was attentive and offered a gluten free option when asked. I had the avocado omelette and it was plentiful and tasty.

I met my friends here for a birthday breakfast mostly for the view. . We sat inside because it was a little cold. Because there is currently a construction fence, there was no view of the beach. While the service was very good, the food was terrible and way overpriced. I had the American breakfast. The sausage was ( no lie) just like Farmer Johns from your supermarket. You know the kind with no skin. I was served two tiny sausages. They were about the size of you little finger. In addition, they had no fruit and the potatoes were some kind of deep fried prepackaged slices. The cost was over $90 for three people before tip. I won't go back. Normally I post very positive reviews but I feel if I did not post these facts, the restaurant will not know how to improve.

$30 Long John Silver’s is what I would equate this to. Way over priced. Food was below average.
Got our chips and Guac 5 minutes before our food arrived.
Waitress said she could split our check and then switch and said “honestly, we don’t split checks.”
Laguna should shut this place down and build something better given the location.
Greeters more like “goodbye”
