Jimmy's Famous American Tavern

Menu was recently changed for the worse. Small portions. Not what os was.

Great pub. Reasonable prices. Good drinks. Food is great.

We ordered for takeout, their burgers are amazing and we also got the Brussels sprouts and they were delicious

I had the braised short ribs. It felt off the bone and was amazing. The mushroom and carrots were so flavorful.

It's always fun to go there for many reasons our waitress was outstanding
Tonight

To me, this is one of the best resaurants in SoCal. The food and drinks are great, combine it with the atmosphere and service, and there are only a few decently affordable places like it in all of SoCal.

The staff is excellent, the open air space makes a great weekend spot. The food is some of the best I've had - the highlights to me are the fish and chips, chicken and waffles, and the dips, syrups, and gravies. The gravy on the chicken and waffles is incredible, the tartar sauce must be hand-made and there are far too many restaurants that serve a great fried fish with standard tartar sauce.

Every single staff I've encountered here are friendly and attentive, even when busy, and when they do make the rare mistake, as humans do, they are on top of it.

We there with a lot of family today. We celebrated 3 family members got baptized and three fathers. The food was very good. The waitress was really nice and patient with our group of 11 that included 4 children under 12. Service was exponential. For fathers we got service about normal. One more thing they were very accommodating to my exhusband because he had back surgery a while ago but has difficulty sitting on a bar stool. They pulled a chair from the bar and took good care of he’s needs. We are grateful for that!

Fantastic spot and some pretty great food. Only rating it a 4 star instead of 5 because they had the garage area door type area half open and it was on the chilly side in the whole restaurant, sure the servers loved it, but all the customers were definitely still wearing jackets.

This place is awesome. Was in Dana Point for a long weekend, and dine there 3 times. The menu is off the chain. I recommend the Fried Chicken dinner. And to top it off the Whiskey Bundt cake for dessert. Absolutely Love it!!!
