I was very unimpressed with the food. I'd heard a lot about Breakfast Republic and wanted to try it. First of all it was oversalted. I actually like salt so it takes a lot for me to say that. And I ordered the turkey meatloaf hash breakfast. The menu describes it as having spinach and that was one of the main reasons I wanted to order it and it had literally one leaf of spinach in it. also, we waited a good amount of time, about 45 minutes, for a table and had requested inside seating. Yet they still seated us outside. I wouldn't have minded that except they don't even open their umbrellas and it was very uncomfortable. I definitely would not recommend this Irvine location. I live in Long Beach and there is a Breakfast Republic here. Maybe I'll give it a try and see if that one's better, but I don't recommend the Irvine location and do not think the food is that good or it's a good value for the price.
