A great place to go retro to the age of train travel. And, its aside the RR tracks from LA to Oceanside and San Diego. Restaurant and bar have outside seating along the tracks but you can sit inside and still see the trains pass by. Some stop as its also a train stop (Orange). Our lunch was great. Served so hot had to let our reuben and hamberger cool a bit. Large menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Full bar.
Got time to kill. Cross the street to the free Hilbert Museum of pastels, watercolors, oil, and a collection of early portable radios too?

What a great place! Stopped for lunch with my daughter. I had the Super Burger and she had the Patty Melt. Both were fantastic. Our server was so nice and attentive. We felt like we went back in time. The vintage vibe was warm and inviting. Would love to come back some evening for a cocktail at the beautiful bar.

Nestled in a beautifully preserved 1938 train station just three blocks from Orange Plaza, the Streamliner offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant itself is a visual treat, adorned with a charming train motif and graced by stunning historic pendant lights that cast a warm, inviting glow. Classic diner-style booths and tables complete the nostalgic ambiance.
The menu boasts a tempting array of breakfast favorites, from classic egg combos to fluffy pancakes and decadent omelettes. Making a decision was a true challenge! Our friendly server was incredibly helpful, guiding us through the enticing options. I opted for the classic eggs and bacon, along with the highly recommended biscuits and gravy, and a pot of coffee.
While we awaited our order, our server promptly delivered coffee and tea. The coffee was rich and flavorful, setting the perfect tone for our breakfast. Soon, our food arrived, generously portioned and beautifully presented. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the biscuits and gravy were an absolute standout – a must-try for any visitor. The overall atmosphere was ideal for a leisurely and relaxing breakfast, savoring each bite and enjoying the charming surroundings.
While the check-out process was a bit more relaxed, it provided an opportunity to linger, enjoy another cup of coffee, and simply soak in the unique ambiance.
Overall: The Streamliner is a true gem, offering a delicious breakfast experience in a captivating setting. The blend of historic charm, friendly service, and delectable food makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Orange.
Highlights:
* Historic train station setting
* Charming train motif and beautiful lighting
* Delicious breakfast options, especially the biscuits and gravy
* Friendly and helpful service
Minor Note:
* Check-out process could be slightly more streamlined. A

Very clean restaurant, excellent service. This used to be the old Ruby’s restaurant. While Ruby’s lowered their quality, Streamliner stepped it up. We have eaten here many times. The hand breaded chicken sandwich, Chinese chicken salad, carnitas omelette, corned beef, eggs Benedict are all worth trying. The burgers are good and the fries are piping hot and well seasoned. Happy hour is good too! The only thing I can’t recommend is the blueberry pancakes. The regular ones are great but the use frozen blueberries and don’t drain them leading to a soggy pancake.

Great location, fast service and good food that is classic diner style. Full bar, and a nice restaurant. You can tell it’s been here a long time, and I hope that it stays here a long time!

We are in the area and we came here on Friday night. They had a band playing. I had the ribeye steak dinner. I had mushrooms and onions on the bottom of the steak. The steak was made perfectly. We had clam chowder soup with a basket of tater tot’s. The soup was really thick and delicious. We really enjoyed this restaurant. It’s like a train station on the inside you can take the Metrolink as it stops right outside very convenient, I recommend this place.

Great place for an delicious dinner and is a good value. This is the old Ruby’s restaurant. This restaurant didn’t do much to change the decor after taking it over from Ruby’s, so it has a sort of a coffee shop feel which is fine. Food was delicious and service was excellent! They have a full bar, and live entertainment later in eve. We will be back!

Placed an order at 830 am for a 12 pick and my order was late.. this was for a birthday and for their lunch. When I called at 1220 they said it would be another 10 minutes. When packed it was just thrown together. Way to help me celebrate a birthday and make it special. Very bad experience very disappointing. In response to the reply. The order was placed 10/7/2025 at 830 am and was scheduled for a noon time delivery that same day. Cold food and thrown together on bag like the picture shows

My wife and I found this place by accident and I’m very glad we did. The decor and atmosphere is very attractive. They have a wide variety of food and drinks. The food is very tasty and the prices are not extreme. Our server, Elena, sorry if I misspelled her name, was so nice and attentive. An added plus is that it is literally right next to the train station-tracks. So you can enjoy, relax and wait for your train. The BLTA is an awesome sandwich. My wife had the patty melt and she enjoyed it very much.
