The Iron Press - Costa Mesa

Quality food at a somewhat reasonable price. most sandwiches are around $12. the portions are not huge, but eating is so rich that they eat slowly and it ends, fill them up. they also have a lot of beer, but only two wee (chardonnay and malbec). I highly recommend making a beer flight so that they can experience several of their delicious beers in one session and then decide which ones they like most!

I absolutely love this place! The food is incredible, and the selection of beers is even better. I wish I could have taken a picture of their tap selection, but I was too busy enjoying my fantastic chicken waffle sandwich drizzled with garlic parmesan sauce. The jalapeño-infused maple syrup is to die for! The service here is outstanding—staff are warm, friendly, and really take pride in what they do. You can tell that everyone truly enjoys their work. If I could, I would eat here every day of the week. I give it a perfect 10 out of 10 stars!

I enjoy the atmosphere at the iron press. they are solid, not yet cooked. for the turkey company sandwich they use a crimped waffel that is supplemented by the garlic aioli.

It seems that waffle sandwiches are all the rage now. I sat at the bar, and Johnny, one of the co-owners, welcomed me. Since it was my first visit, he gave me a quick overview of the menu, suggesting the beer on tap and the sandwiches he highly recommended. As a fan of chicken and waffles, I decided to go with his suggestion. The waffles were thick and came with jalapeño syrup, and the chicken was fried, served in strips. It was delicious and reminded me of going to the Hash House, but in a more manageable portion. They sell sandwiches and sides separately, so no combo meals here. Overall, I’d definitely return. I need to try their burger, which looked amazing!

I was very pleased with this restaurant. They offer a broad selection of beers and some wines as well. If you're health-conscious, it's worth noting that there aren't many low-calorie options available, so you might prefer to stick with drinks. Once you're aware of that, the menu features a variety of waffle and non-waffle dishes. I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful presentation of the food. There were also many TVs showing current sporting events and highlights. The atmosphere can be a bit loud, making it less than ideal for working, especially considering the surrounding area. However, it’s a fantastic spot for a casual night out.
