Burnt Crumbs - Irvine

The spicy meatball sandwich and the potatoes were delicious. Everything else was just okay? Waiting for brunch is something we all have to do, but usually you can expect something amazing with hard alcohol.

Why can’t I lose weight? Because I find golden nuggets like this place!! I walked in for lunch with the expectation that I was ordering a burger. I asked the guy at the front what the place was k own for. He politely walked me through their history and are now open for breakfast, brunch and lunch. He explained the most popular breakfast sandwiches . He also spoke about the pancakes and asked, after he looked me over, if I was looking for a more “hearty” meal that the pancakes are probably too light. Then he walked through the lunch items. The grilled spaghetti cheese sandwich was very intriguing. They also have a smash burger, Nashville Hot Chicken and Fried Chicken sandwiches. I love a good Fried Chicken sandwich. I hold Fried Chicken sandwiches to a different degree. Only the few are amazing and leave me a bit speechless. This was one of them. I ordered to go and went back to my hotel. I sat outside on a slightly chilly afternoon. Without knowing what was really inside the wrapping, I laid out my drink, utensils and napkins. Then I unwrapped the sandwich. What the what? To my surprise there were mashed potatoes on the sandwich and it was on the best looking biscuit I have ever laid my eyes on!! Seriously. It went thin biscuit on the bottom, layer of mashed potatoes, perfectly fried, fried chicken and massive biscuit on top. It also comes with Honey Sriracha, a garlicky sauce and a country gravy. My favorite sauce was the Honey Sriracha. This sandwich was sooooo good you don’t need any sauce. The combination of the mashed potatoes, flavorful chicken and biscuit was literally on point and no need for anything else. The accompanying fries are fresh cut. They fell short and needed more salt. I had to use ketchup on them and I do everything possible not to use ketchup. Between the service and the food, this place is highly recommended and a definite go to for the locals. FYI I am as unable to add pictures. You should see this sandwich!!!!

Pancakes were so yummy. I also ordered bacon and the home fried potatoes Great options for breakfast. Quick service. Ample parking and seating options. Give it a try.

We loved the avocado toast and spicy meatballs sandwich from Burnt Crumbs. The service is fast and we love that there is a ton of outdoor seating. It’s dog friendly seating outside with some shading. Highly recommend as a brunch lunch spot if one is near Irvine Spectrum.

I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Soufflé Pancakes along with the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich. The sandwich was tasty, with a hint of sweetness that I couldn't quite identify. The seasonal pumpkin spice pancakes were a fantastic deal! They were topped with pumpkin spice whipped cream and came with a mini pumpkin tart and pumpkin spice ice cream. Everything was absolutely delicious! However, I found the pancakes themselves to be somewhat lackluster in flavor.
