About Bosscat Kitchen & Libations
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
It was my first time here after a friend suggested this restaurant. We sat inside as it'll get hot around noon. The restaurant has the old farm house feel to it (loved it). The food was good, I didn't order any drinks but my friends did and they liked it. The waitress was very attentive, came by several times to check on us and refill our water jug. The only downside was that it's a busy part of the block (many restaurants and cafes in the area) so the parking was not easy to find especially in the peak hours.
We were here for lunch because we were attracted by the photos we saw in the reviews, both burgers and pancakes looked great! When we arrived we were greeted by the very attentive and very kind staff, when we ordered we were supported and the result was super satisfactory! my pancakes were incredible, i came from italy and this was my first meal in the USA and i all i wanted to try first were pancake, i couldn’t desire better ones😍 also the burgers were delicious, not to mention the incredible fries. we recommend this super place!
My chilaquiles were cold. I told the waiter and he removed my plate before I could say anything else. He did bring out another hot plate, but I don't want it at that point since my wife and I shared her meal. Ended up just feeling rushed for an overpriced meal, which is a shame given how good Bosscat in Irvine is; I've scheduled several business meals there before and have always gotten excellent food and service. Don't plan to return to the Orange branch, and you shouldn't give it a shot either, go to Snooze or Urth instead.
From the moment I walked into Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere was electric and authentic yet effortlessly cool, with an energy that made me feel right at home. The service was absolutely top-notch; every staff member went above and beyond, making the entire experience seamless and fun. Now, let’s talk about the food, specifically the Sugar Barrel Steak. One bite, and my taste buds were tingling with happiness. Perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and paired with sides that complemented every note. It was the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate it. This isn’t just dinner… it’s an experience. I can’t recommend Bosscat Kitchen & Libations enough. And even if there’s a wait, trust me… it’s worth every second.
INCREDIBLE. My husband and I came here with our friends today 10/22/25 on a whim after having to reschedule our friend’s Birthday reservation at another place around the corner. I am THRILLED that we did. Our server’s name was Natalie. Icon. The best there is, was, or ever will be. She was so kind and so attentive and I am very glad we met her. Walked us through the drinks and menu like it was nothing. First we had the Country Bread, that I will now think about every time I have a roll anywhere forever, because nothing compares. Then we had the nachos which were also great. As for drinks, I can only speak on The Bosslady and Poor Decisions, both of which I very much enjoyed. For the main course we had a variety. My one friend ordered the Bosscat Burger the “chef’s way” and by the time Natalie checked in on us to see that we liked everything, he had cleaned his plate. I’m talking like a ten-minute or less window! I’m going to have to go back just to try it for myself. I got the Mac and Cheese that Natalie so kindly and correctly encouraged me to add bacon to and it was SO GOOD. To top everything off they brought out a little dessert for the Birthday, sparkler and all. Thanks to the good and the service, I have every intention of returning at my earliest opportunity. Thank you all for a wonderful meal.
