“What an awesome venue. David and Joe took very good care of my group. I brought 48 people up from San Diego for a viewing of Top Gun. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was great and the atmosphere was just incredible. I love the nostalgia behind Rick's cafe and the theater was not only comfortable but absolutely gorgeous. Might people are raving about their visit. I would like to thank David and joe, and the rest of the staff at regency theater. You made our day trip perfect.PS. Cleanest, best smelling restrooms ever!“

A must !!! So if you are looking for the best place in town, this is it.“

“The restaurant is self service style where you order at a counter, take a number, fill your drinks at a fountain, and wait for your food to come to your table.

The food was tasty and portions generous, only downside is the prices are a little high. Might be worth it if you're looking for a good sit-down meal in a comfy and clean atmosphere.

They sell plenty of options of cuisine including burgers and sandwiches, breakfast, and Mexican food.“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“I've seen so many great shows here. Every seat is a great seat...food is good too. Fond memories seeing Ace when he came through a few years back.“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“I didn’t smell a smoker and there isn’t a choice of sauces, but the three meat sampler we shared of brisket, smoked pulled chicken and pulled pork was quite tasty. And the fried dill pickle appetizer was one of the best we’ve had, with thinly sliced pickles and a nice coating.“

“We came for lunch right after visiting the mission. It was right across the street and we wanted to try a different lunch spot. The food was great. We ordered steak and shrimp and a Shepards pie and calamari as an appetizer. The drinks were great and we enjoyed some music from the patio. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. The only odd thing was when our waitress came to take our order, I asked about the drink menu and was asking for recommendations and she seemed confused about my questions. She didn’t offer any suggestions and when I asked about a drink on the menu, she asked if I wanted a shot of grapefruit juice.“

“Great BBQ in San Juan Capistrano area. Meat is tender, flavorful and baby back ribs fell off the bone. we will be back each time we visit the area.“
