Hangar 24 Orange County - Irvine

Wow … I bet this place was good before Covid. Seriously I bet it was a fun, cool place. Went on a Friday at lunch time. Only 3 people working and they were all trying so hard. : Kinda made me sad as it’s hard to get upset when they are trying so hard , but it’s just not working. I’d come again if they had staff. as in more than 3 people trying to help 75+ people!Just don’t want to spend $50 on lunch that is burned and took forever. Sad when we feel guilty for coming to eat and the poor employees are on a sinking ship and it’s just an all around depressing situation. Whoever owns this, help your staff! You have a great location, good menu and they need help!Edit went back 5/23/2023.. you still order at a cash register when you walk in. Took 45 minutes to get food and wasn’t busy..Food was mediocre at best. Again this could be a cool place but same old story food is burned and take forever and there’s no staff maybe 3 people serving a hundred. Don’t waste your time.

Don't come on a weekend. To busy for their own good. The wait is atrocious. Took them 1 hour 15 minutes to burn my chicken sandwich, overcook the fish tacos, and serve dried out turkey sandwich. The fries and beer were pretty good though. Didn't get a second beer because I didn't want to wait 20 minutes in line. Will not return.

Nice brewery strangely located in a business area. I came here on a Saturday evening and there was a Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover band playing nearby. Parking was easy to validate at the register and the service was fairly quick. You order at the counter and pick up the food outside at the tent. My Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich came out in a reasonable about of time and it was hotter than I expected. The fries were perfect and well seasoned. I didn't try the beer here but I'd come back again to try something other than the can of hard kombucha I bought.

$5 chocolate porter. Great live band Saturday 7pm. Closes at 10pm. No dogs allowed. $18 chargrilled chicken club sandwich comes with fries much better value than the $10 homemade chips.

So this place has some good eats, but certainly higher priced and not sure it was totally worth the high price. Better burger than lots of places for sure, but it wasn't the best I've ever had. Maybe just more attention to the details... like the onion ring on the bbq burger I got was fairly soft and would have been great if it was crispier. Tomato and lettuce got too warm and soft. Fries were pretty crispy and tasty and they have quite a few cool things on the menu. Flatbread pizzas, salads, sandwiches,... all looked better than just common. Be prepared to eat here and get parking voucher, otherwise parking is super high. Either hang out on the grass where music might played live depending on the night, or sit inside or out for a relaxed place to hang with friends. Would recommend it, but be prepared for higher prices.
