Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Reviews and inspection point the same way here. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 4.7 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. Pacing follows at 24% of reviews, where ratings average 4.4.
If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (18 reviews). The split is 20 positive to 1 negative across 21 rated reviews.
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (93/100), with 7 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. DBPR last walked in on January 26, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. That puts it ahead of 53% of graded kitchens in Orange County. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

i’m really only been having fried mushrooms here because I couldn’t find a place near me that had them until recently can’t vouch for much more. Haven’t had much time just grabbing a quick order of mushrooms to go and they are doing the trick.

If the only thing missing from your day is diarrhea try the Padres special, but you know what sometimes Padre needs some help 🚻

I've seen this establishment growing up and finally had a chance to try it. It was a little after 1 pm on a weekday and they were very busy. It was 45 mins after I placed the order before I could get there, and the sub was not ready when I arrived. I was told also, that they do not drop the fries until you actually arrive, so a little tip if you're in a rush, would be to leave in the notes when ordering that the fries can me made ahead of time. The Philly was good. It lacked some salt and pepper, but the waffle fries made up for it. A little over $20 for a whole Philly and large fries. Not bad. My only complaint would be the lady at the pick up window was not very friendly. Politely asking for an extra paper bag to put my current oil soaked bag in seemed to inconvenience her. It dropped out of her hand while handing it to me from the window and she didn't acknowledge it nor made the effort to pick it up. I will blame it on the lunch rush.

The Cheese Steaks are Delicious 😋

Ordered online, which estimated food would be ready in 20 mins. It took 45 minutes to make four items.

I lived near Maitland Fl in the late 70’s early eighties and visited kappys often with my mom and sister , I was pleasantly surprised to see they were still doing business today and enjoyed a hotdog with my grandsons still fantastic

You will never find a better Sub, hotdogs, steak or burger 🍔 🍔. This was the first place that I ever eat a sub in the late 60's. No one compares to Kappy's cool place to eat. EO

Not from the area and went back for a second time, service and food was outstanding.
-
Greasy Spoon, old-school but worth a visit !!!
-
Very good burgers. Fast service and very clean.

If you’re looking for a spot that delivers both quality and quantity, this place absolutely nails it. The portions are huge—come hungry or plan on taking some home—and everything tastes like it’s made with care and consistency. What really stands out, though, is the old-school charm. There’s something special about a place that hasn’t lost its identity over the years. You can feel the history the moment you walk in, and that kind of authenticity is hard to find these days. It’s easy to see why this place has stuck around for so long. Longevity like that doesn’t happen by accident—it comes from doing things right and treating customers well. There’s a reason it’s a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll understand why. Definitely a go-to spot if you want a satisfying meal with a side of nostalgia.
