This is a wonderful restaurant service excellent "American Grub" The decor is great (rustic modern) the service was excellent and the food delicious. I ate a chicken salad with tehina. Being a careful eater I chose the small which was just great for me. They serve s wide and interesting variety of beers and cocktail. The restaurant is located in the Historic Tustin Center. After your meal walk around and enjoy the quaint shops and tree lined streets.

I hardly ever leave a review but I’ll make an exception because our waiters were exceptional. Keanu and Cassie were attentive and genuinely seemed happy to serve us. That’s rare nowadays. Keanu recommended the Wyatt Earp burger which was delicious. Will be coming back soon!

This is a place I frequent. The area is great. Service is always attentive and genuinely friendly. Food is consistently cooked well. Tip: Their burgers aren't dressed. Do request your condiments. Spicy mayo and jalapeno ranch are sure shots! Their fries are ALWAYS crunchy and more on the well done side. Go ahead! Dip them in that jalapeno ranch! Another tip: they no longer give their potato salad automatically. Ask and ye shall receive! (no charge) YOU'RE WELCOME. The potato salad makes me say, "good Lawd"!

My first visit to American Grub in Tustin was absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, our server, Stephen, made our experience truly exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food completely exceeded our expectations—it was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was amazing, and the outstanding service made the meal even better. If you’re looking for great food and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend American Grub. A huge thank you to Stephen for making our first visit such a memorable one. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is so good! We ordered a Wyatt Earp burger and subbed a black bean patty, BLT, and garlic cheese bites (cheese balls). Everything was good, even my kid's crinkle cut fries. Another reviewer said the ranch was good and they were absolutely spot on. My onion rings had the perfect crunch in my burger and the bacon was cooked to perfection. We ordered a bread pudding to go and looking forward to trying that. Our server, Jessica, was friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back. From kiddo: Employees were really nice and I enjoyed the lemonade.

Great little restaurant in a quaint downtown. Seating outside is perfect on a nice day. The burgers are large and perfectly cooked. We tried the bacon cheese fries. They were a good portion with lots of cheese and bacon. Honey spicy wings were very tasty. The sauce was just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Overall, good pub food, great service and relaxing atmosphere.

Food was immaculate. I got the breakfast burger, spicy honey wings, garlic fries and cajun tots. Not one thing was bad. The service was wonderful, our server wasn’t all over us but also didn't forget about us. The place inside was super comfy, nicely air conditioned, smelt nice, and it was overall just comfortable. Go try this place !!! Most of my photos were taken after I already ate some, but the portions are just enough.

This should be your go-to burger joint in Tustin Old Town if you’re looking for something girthy & juicy. Jokes aside, while I’m normally hesitant to eat a burger joints that cost more than $15 per burger, the taste and quality is well worth it here.

American Grub has 2 dining options, inside or outside. I chose outside even though they are located right on the main road it was not to noisey but rather enjoyable. Pleasant atmosphere, service was excellent and the Wyatt Erp burger was cooked perfectly. French fries were perfectly crispy and enough to share with just one order. Very reasonably priced food. You could bring the kids and enjoy a family meal out.
