Dick Church’s is the oldest restaurant in Costa Mesa, and quite possibly Orange County (although I’m not positive so I won’t state it as fact.) In any case, DC’s is a place to get delicious American style meals. Weekend breakfasts are usually busy and there is sometimes a wait depending on what time you come, but it’s worth it. The waitresses have worked there for years and they know what they’re doing. The customer base consists of many regulars and locals, and during the summer OC Fair guests stop by. Some dishes are better than others, but all are good. I’ve listed a few of my favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Also, I listed that I came here for a family meal, because that’s truthfully what started me coming. I bring friends when I can though, just because I enjoy some of the food so much.

If anyone cares, some local celebrities frequent the place with their own families (that’s how much of a family restaurant DC’s is) including some of the guys from Sugar Ray who live in the area =)

The service is friendly, and the food is good. It isn’t fancy, and the age is there, but it’s a nice, comfortable place and I highly recommend it. Explore the menu – there are a lot of hidden gems (cinnamon rolls, ice cream, shakes, etc.) Try the daily soups as well… and don’t forget to check out the daily specials =)
