King’s Teriyaki Burgers & Tacos - Placentia

King’s Teriyaki Burgers & Tacos? That just about covers the whole gamut, doesn’t it? This place is around the corner from my work, so I’ve visited it more then once and I’ve tried all three types of their food fare that they have. I think the biggest compliment I can say is that they are consistently average with all three types of food. On my latest visit I had a bacon cheese burger with grilled onions and it was pretty much what I expected. They use the typical pound preformed patties that most burger joints use, and their bacon is just normal cut bacon. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying there is anything wrong with this, it’s just average. One thing I don’t like as much as most places with burgers is that they use ketchup and mayonnaise instead of just a all in one sauce (thousand island), and I don’t like that as much. I also ordered a small side of onion rings, which of course was more then a normal person could finish on their own. I always feel bad when I toss so much wasted food. Sometimes I wish I could order by number of rings I want to eat. The onion rings were standard fare, but I am disappointed they don’t have BBQ Sauce, I’m all about sauces…

On previous occasions I have ordered their teriyaki chicken and beef, which are both good but not the best I’ve had. I also have got a couple different tacos, the chicken and beef sort of tasted like the same meat from the teriyaki meal, but they were alright, the tacos are stuffed to the brim with meat and toppings. One plus I will give them is with their fish tacos, they are above average and I could order those anytime and not be disappointed.

The wait staff is always courteous and always makes sure you get everything you need to enjoy you meal. The place can get really busy during the lunch crowd because of it’s proximity to numerous offices and industrial complexes, but I’ve never had to wait too long to get my order.

Overall King’s is a good bet to please a crowd because of the choices you have to fill your stomach. It’s the place you go to when everyone wants something different but you still all want to eat lunch together.

Tummy Stuffer - Orange

I love sandwiches. In fact if you asked my wife she would probably call me a sandwich connoisseur. I can’t have enough sandwiches, and when I used to eat out for lunch every day (before I got married, of course) I would haunt all the sandwich shops that circle the Orange Circle (and by circle I mean are within a 2-3 mile radius!).

I’ve been to three different Tummy Stuffers in the area, three Togo’s (one that no longer exists), Two’s Company, Mustards, Hollingshead, and others that I can’t remember the name of. But this Tummy Stuffer is just average. They don’t seem to have as good of taste as most the other places I would frequent. Plus they recently completely changed their menu and appeared to have upped their prices. Good luck finding seats during the lunch hour rush, since they tend to get packed, and it usually looks sort of dirty whenever I’ve visited.

I haven’t been impressed with the quality of the bread, meat, and produce.

If you need and sandwich, it’s worth the stop, but if you if you want something a little better, there are other places just around the corner that I’d suggest. Heck you are better off changing your mind and having mexican at Arriba Grill, they kick ass.

Sandwich Deli Stop - Stanton

This place used to be the greatest sandwich place I knew of. But now they have changed ownership and although it’s still good, it’s not quite as good as it used to be. I’m a big fan of the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, great sandwich. They use great bread, which really is important, it’s fresh and has just enough texture to it.

The previous owners were really nice people and always remembered me. The new owners seem really nice and I will continue to come as long as the quality continues to be above par.
