“ This place was amazing! We were looking for a place to eat and Denise's welcoming feeling made the decision for us. The food was great. We had the breakfast burrito and The Quicky. They have nice outdoor seating. After taking my name for the order, Denise was intentional in referring to me by name which made me feel like family. If you're in the area, definitely check Gary's out! They've been here for 50 years and today I found out why! ”
“ Great food, great service! Such a gem in CDM! Ground beef tacos are the best and try their homemade salsa! Hit but delicious! ”
“ I have been eating here for almost 30 years a staple favorite of Corona Del Mar. Best burgers and the tacos with the medium shell are my favorite! Buy local, support small business. Gary's is a gem!! ”
“ How have I lived in Irvine for years and never been to Gary's before today? I can't explain the error, but I can be better going forward. And I will. Wife woke up with a craving for matzoh ball soup, so the search ensued. Until now we would head up to Benji's for our fix. I thought that Benji's was the best (and frankly, only) option for matzoh ball in OC. What do you know, my heart has room for more than one NY deli, and Gary's has moved right in. Perhaps we stayed away because Gary's is located right on PCH and I had feared tough parking? I can't explain, but parking at Gary's on a Thursday for lunch was a snap. Plenty of 2 hour free parking right up front and in the blocks up and down PCH. Denise took our order, and I overheard her telling another customer how they didn't have a full portion of his requested soup, so she wanted to be sure he got a complimentary side to make up for it. I knew right away that we were amongst good people. When our lunch came out to the cute patio, I knew we had found our new spot. A perfect Reuben, cut in half, served on 2 plates with a spear of pickle. Everything about the sando was just right, perfect ratios of meat to cheese to kraut to dressing. And oh that toasty rye. The matzoh ball we came for hit just right. Just broth, noodles, a plump and not too densely packed matzoh ball, and chicken. We also had a nice passionfruit iced tea, fresh brewed, with no sign of bitterness... almost soft on the palate. Just right! I was too hungry for photos, but it looked as good as it tasted, and I can't wait to come back and try more things. Thanks for a great lunch ”
“ The Reuben is perfect, the bread they use is delicious by itself, Jewish rye with poppyseed perfectly grilled, vacationing in thousand island, crunchy kraut, blanketed with Swiss. Order this and an egg cream. Thanks Denise! ”
“ I've been eating here for a long time and the food is always great! The New York andwiches are the best I've ever had on the West Coast. ”
“ It was our first time at Gary's and it far exceeded our expectations! We received great advice from the person that took our order and the order was delivered to our table prepared perfectly! Thank you Gary's! ”
“ I absolutely love this deli! The tuna melt and the turkey sandwich are both fantastic. It's the perfect spot to stop and pick up lunch before heading to the beach for a swim. They have an awesome, big menu, and I can't wait to come back and try more items. Everyone working there was super nice and friendly, making the experience even better. It's a cute little deli spot that's perfect for a beach to-go order. Highly recommend! ”
