18 Best American Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

“Ok, so first up it was a bit pricey. But holy cow the burgers were all amazing, the place was clean, staff was wonderful. If you want ridiculously tasty burgers and don't mind paying for it... I'll give this place 5/5 stars for sure.“

“My husband and I visited Bloom for our 14 year anniversary and were blown away by the service and the food. It is clear that the owners of this restaurant have a high standard for service and we felt as though we were regulars rather than first timers, being treated like family but with the utmost respect. Every person we interacted with knew it was our anniversary and wished us well. We were given a free appetizer, free desert and two glasses of champagne.

On top of all this, the food was amazing. My husband and I love high quality menus like this. We enjoyed the stuffed zucchini flowers, Pork belly and Pumpkin gnocchi, the sea bass entree and a special lamb chop entree..... incredible.

I can't wait to return and try more on this menu. A special thanks for making our evening extra special.“

“I chose this restaurant due to its proximity to downtown, situated just off the main street. The ambiance, both indoors and outdoors, was exceptionally warm and welcoming. The patio featured outdoor heaters for comfort during meals, complemented by live entertainment that enhanced the experience without being overwhelming. Inside, we were seated in high-backed chairs by the window, allowing us to observe the trains arriving and departing. The service was outstanding, with the staff promptly attending to our needs. The food was exquisite, with generous portions that were satisfying without leading to waste. They offered wine samples to help us select the perfect pairing for our meal. We decided to order the Mac-n-cheese to take with us for a late-night snack after the concert, which proved to be an excellent choice to share. The overall atmosphere was friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend this establishment and eagerly anticipate my next visit.

Parking: Multiple spaces to park, easy to find and pay for parking. Approximately $2 for each hour. Ticket was clear on how long you could park and even provided the time you had until.“

“Easter Brunch 2023 was outstanding! So many options for a Starter, Entree and Dessert. Frankly, when our beautiful server came over to see what I wanted, I wanted ALL the starters as I have enjoyed them for years! The Filet Mignon eggs Benedict was perfect. The bottomless, large mimosas were so fun with choices of orange juice, pineapple or watermelon; I tried them all😊 We all passed around our desserts. The Crème Brûlée and Flowerless Chocolate Cake were standouts for sure“

“My wife found this little gem whereas we stopped in on a beautiful Saturday morning for brunch. Ramos Cafe did not disappoint. Brunch was delicious and the atmosphere quaint.“

“I mostly always build my own omelette and its always amazing. Great fast service with a smile😎“

“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!“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“Our Server, Brian was outstanding! My friend is allergic to garlic and onions and he went out of his way to check with the Chef only to learn that onions had been fried earlier that day in the same fryer/ oil as my friends French Fries and would have been contaminated. He took our concerns to heart and made sure the food was prepared safely. Bravo Brian!“

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

“A little gem of a place in San Juan Capistrano. We randomly came across it after my daughter's soccer match, and choice of food or plenty and every single one of them are delicious. Just a heads up if you are ordering the quesadilla for your kids they are a bit on the spicy side. Portion size phenomenal, taste is even better. I tried the pesto sandwich, the quesadilla and steak burrito.???“

“First visit, I had the “special” (see photo) smash burger. Really good deal, only $6, instead of the normal price of $17.25.
Outdoor seating on the street side, was nice, friendly server did a very good job.
Irish Nachos was good, served on a hot plate.
Double patty “smash” burger was good, my only complaint was it really wasn’t a smash burger, because it didn’t have the normally tasty crispy edges.
Plate served hot, good fries with very good ranch style dip.
The best parking is a paid lot to the rear of the restaurant. But the walk to the restaurant is difficult, especially for a mobility challenged person, due to the steepness of the alleyway.
Recommended, we will be back.“

“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.“

“DAY DANCE AND SONG IS VERY GOOD“

“Had a great meal with loaded potato skins appetizer which was excellent. Kari the bartender was very welcoming and friendly.“
