Coastal Cowboy CA Eats American • $
214 Avenida Del Mar, San Clemente

“Wifey and I tried the new hot spot in town today.
We both had their coastal smash burger and we shared fries and chips.
We both agreed the burgers and fries were excellent. YUMMY.
The bbq chips we weren't so thrilled by.
Too Maple-y.
The place is really clean and comfy and the service was great, but I have to say, the choice of music could be better.
If you have to play country music, maybe intersperse the whinging 21st century C&W with some good old Hank or Dolly or Merle or Waylon or Willy or.....“
