Really enjoy the food and watching the horse races! They show a bunch of different tracks.

Staff: They staff was very friendly but the one who stood out was Bryan. He was outside supporting our large gathering on the patio. He was so patient with all of the kids, informative, helped to move the umbrella for more shade, and just a pleasure. Quality/Quantity: We had the nachos which were good. I had the Huevos Rancheros which were okay. Not a lot of flavor so not a huge fan but not bad. Had a couple of the house beers but don't know the names. Beers were good. Value: Reasonable Overall: Would I return? Sure. Pro Tip: We came on a Sunday. The only menu available until 2 is the brunch menu. However, you can order nachos and wings any time. Also, you order inside and can find a spot in the patio. Once on the patio if you have tab you can order outside. Otherwise the only place to order food and drinks is inside.

Went to have lunch with my husband, son and daughter n law. We all ordered hamburgers. 2 were ordered medium well and two were ordered well done. The order came, all the burgers were under cooked. Basically raw. We told the waitress (who was very nice). When the burgers were brought back to the table the burgers were still inedible. Totally raw. Needless to say we couldn't eat them. The waitress never came back. We finished our beers. My husband went up to the bar to pay. Told them we were unable to eat our food. No discount. Nothing. The worst dining experience ever. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Cool tavern. They have a great little venue for live music and a very friendly crowd and staff. Food is basic, there are a handful of beers on tap, and a cool outdoor patio. Great outing if you are around South Orange

Such a great place! Sports, horse races, great drinks, great people. A really awesome local spot that is busy majority of the time. Happy here every time I come! The taquitos and chicken strips are my fav and crave them all the time. The vibe is a perfect chill spot.

The staff here was very nice. They had the horses on tv racing and bidding in the back. The beer had a soapy taste tho.

Place looks cool inside but as far as the food I ordered. It was terrible. I got fish tacos , the fish came chopped in small pieces , which is pretty insane & barely tasted like fish. My girl got chicken quesadilla & it had this tang smell/taste too it. Almost like the chicken was old or idk what it was but it was a very unpleasant taste. I’m not picky but man it was bad. Fries were decent.

We were pleasantly surprised to find healthy delicious salads that day. If we lived there we would definitely go back. The staff were great too, tons of TV's, love this place!

Terrible bartender lady accused me of leaving without paying...wrong I left her cash with 20% tip with the tab with my beer glass!. She and her posey of drunk regulars chased me down in the parking lot screaming at me. It wasn't until I stopped my car, got out, went in to the bar area and showed the bartender she was wrong. She took the money, counted it and wouldn't admit it was fully paid including 20% tip.What a racist establishment, I've read that San Clememte is mostly white and racsit to the coreWell, it is true. Thanks to a young man who claimed to be the manager (DaN), he apologized for the huge mistake his bartender and possy of drunk wolves jumped to. !!!Amazing, stay away unless you're from San Clemente!

Saw the usual happy hours guests there hanging on the bar looking at the old blonde bartender. We had a beer there (we were here a year ago) but didn't see a any one eating any food there.

I had several Mexican dishes for lunch, and the taste was exceptional. Our server was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient.The off-track satellite horse racing venue was packed and a fun entertainment experience.

Love this place! Pizza was awesome and so was the calamari. My kids loved the Mac and cheese. Drinks were good and well priced. Will definitely be back!

Horrible experience and clearly not interested in business . I walked in sat at bar table with my girlfriend for tacos. There was maybe 8 people at bar and girl bartender. While waiting about 10 mins not one hello absolutely nothing. I even saw waiter enter bar nothing . The bartender could have said hello never experienced such bad business . Place is dirty and old on top of it . Too many great restaurants in SC don't waste your time.
