“I am always blown away with their food! Every ingredient is delicious and perfectly cooked. Just a really great place and very nice people. Consistently delicious.”
“Everything is over-the-top, amazing and well above expectation. We will definitely be going back there again. Appetizers and service was top notch. This was the best dinner and night we’ve had in a long time. We’re happy to have found a new favorite restaurant.”
“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers”
“Our server, Leah, provided fast, friendly, and exceptional service. The shrimp and lobster (linguini) was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. The sauce was creamy and delicious. The chef graciously substituted the fresh vegetables (carrots and asparagus) for the pasta when asked. Of all the restaurants we tried during our weeklong visit, Beachfire was my favorite!Dietary restrictions: Able to substitute low-carb options.Parking: After 6 pm, plenty of nearby street parking.”
“We thought the food was exactly what we were expecting, and the cocktails were very classic. The interesting part was discovering that eggs can be fried, as we saw with the deviled eggs. Additionally, the bread on the prime rib sandwich had a nice, cheesy toasted layer. It was a good meal with standout customer service.”

Dairy free/ Gluten free/ refined sugar free/ dye free/ seed oil free!! Love that the owners care so much what they serve to their customers! So friendly too!

“Incredible soft serve ice cream. 99 with a flake Mr Whippy style (if you know you know) ice cream. But dipped in melted chocolate and toppings. Honestly heaven. Would have included a pic but inhaled it.”

“Absolute grub! We didn't find this place until our last night in town. I wish we would have found it earlier in our trip. This is really good Asian food. The bowls are a good size for lunch. The platters are a BIG dinner. Great food at a great price. There was a train of locals coming through to pick up food while I was waiting.”
“I was in this area this morning. Searched Yelp for coffee looking for a good Latte. I sorted by recommendations. This shop showed up as #3 and was on my way. The first two were rated for their bakery. This place is # 1 for latte.”
“Best Ice Cream around, so many great flavors. I can't wait to try them all”
“Best place to enjoy the best coffee and the place has the best workers”

“Great food, always our favorite restaurant go to when we are in the area!”
“I have to say. My mom has never been out here and I personally live in Phoenix and haven’t been in this area in 9 years. So, we randomly picked this place and wow. I haven’t tasted something so delicious in probably 5 years. Every piece of shrimp was so tasty and juicy. I also got the Black something salmon. 11 out of 10. Every single item I ate was full of flavor and the server was amazing. Best restaurant experience my mom and I both agree. Top shelf. Just to give contrast. I’m 47 and my mom is 73. Pleasantly pleased”
“This was an impromptu lunch as we toured San Clemente and drove town to the ocean highway tp see the long and beautiful coastline in Orange County. And then we saw the pier and Fisherman's at the base. The scenic beauty of the entire Pier environment, the buildings around it, the ocean, the human presence, it was all idyllic. After walking the pier, watching the surfers, fishing aficionados, and taking in the sun, we decided on lunch and there it was. Seating at a table overlooking the beach was instantaneous. The menu is extensive and the beer menu has plenty of the local microbrews. I had an awesome grilled chicken sandwich on a focaccia and some incredibly tasting Cole slaw. Relaxing, superb service, great food, beautiful scenery and a good time. What else can one ask for?”

“The server was great! Need more vegan options for dinners. Also, it was my birthday, and I told the server I was vegan. He brought desserts to the table that were not vegan. Thank you for the desserts though! Service was great. Wine was good. The noise level was very high.”
“Service was fantastic. Our waiter Luca was on it. Amazing waiter. Great food and very much authentic. We had the swordfish, Beriia , ceviche and shrimp. However, we were seated outside when I was thinking we were going to be inside and no one told us that. I saw the photos online and loved the ambiance So we did not get the feel of the ambience which I was very much looking forward to for our special occasion. So next time, I'll make sure to ask!”
“Very delicious steak and lobster. Steak platter was a lot better than seafood. The truffle bread & potatoe Lobster Is one of the kind as side dish. We did not like the ravioli because it was too salty. Their service is Good. Parking is a little hassle. Did not find Valet Parking.”
“Such a great place. Nice addition to San Clemente.”
“Excellent customer service. Food was very good. Great location.”
“The food here is delicious and the customer service is incredibly good, I loved the chicken chop suey which have lots vegetables and the texture plus taste of it is just on point. Loved their fried rice and chow mein the smell just like the taste is very good. The vegetable egg roll omg what's should I say " the best veggie roll rolls I ever had" just soo fresh. My bf ordered the beef pepper steak I had a try as well the beef is so juicy and tasty as well. We went in before 4 pm so we ordered the lunch portion which is huge we didn't even finish. Definitely recommend to anyone who love Chinese cuisine. personally will go back the next time we are in town.”

“Been here on two occasions. 15 years ago after returning from a Mexican Riviera Cruise and last night after watching an AEW Pay Per View in LA. Both times were awesome!Eight off the freeway with ample parking and excellent service. Food is made to order and priced just right.I enjoyed my late night breakfast which consisted of their new stuffed strawberry pancakes! Also had eggs, sausage and bacon. Came hi get, left full without filing for bankruptcy.Lema was my server and was on point. Super friendly and attentive! If ever you're near the area, drop by and enjoy a yummy meal.Be back soon!”

Takeout Restaurants
“As a hospitality and tourism instructor the customer service was an embarrassment to say the least... Kaya appeared to be anything but welcoming. She told us to pick a table with 'two chairs only'. We selected one away from an open window since the weather was slightly cool for us being travelers. We asked if she could turn the ceiling fan directly above us off. She replied with a hard sigh, "I can turn it down, but I can't turn it off." She walked behind the counter and stated out loud to her coworker, "I get so annoyed when people ask me to turn off the fan". We just walked out to not annoy her further.”
“The best service I have ever had at a fast food restaurant (to include other in-N-Out restaurants). I had somebody open the door for me when I walked in and greeted me very warmly. I had two cashier contacts and the guy who gave me my food. All were super warm and courteous. The team and management need to be commended. This is how restaurants should run. And if you’re wondering, I do not know anybody who works at this restaurant nor do I work for In-N-Out. I just appreciate being treated right.”
“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!”
“This is our new favorite place to go have coffee and brunch at !! Must try their pastries. They are absolute to die for !!!!!!”
“Great place for someone vegan and gluten intolerant. I had an açaí bowl regular size and it was very generous, full of fresh fruit and gluten free granola which made it sweeter.The açaí itself was pretty sweet on its own so I would probably not take the granola next time. The açaí was the correct consistency. Not completely frozen like some places serve it but very cold like a thick smoothie which is how it should be served.Service was great, nice chilled vibe and you can tell it’s not a huge chain but a local business which makes me want to come back and try some of their other bowls, coffees and bakes.”
“The food is super delicious. Great food quality here. I give it a ten for cleanliness. Fun modern upbeat music playing all the time. Service is top notch too! I've been several times now and have never been disappointed. You will love the margaritas.”
“In the mood for a hot dog, I stumbled upon Burger Junkie, and boy, am I glad I did! The Junkie Fries were an absolute revelation - crispy, flavorful, and downright addictive. But what truly elevated my experience was the delightful conversation I had with the gentleman at the front. His warmth and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to my meal. Plus, the ambiance of the restaurant was very surfer Cali vibe. If you're craving good American food, Burger Junkie is the place to be!”
“Can't say enough good things about this place. The fruit is so delicious and fresh. The people working are always welcoming and kind. They're quick to make everything and it's consistently 10/10. SO GOOD. I'm obsessed.”
“I had the best honey almond milk latte of my life here last week. I can't wait to come back. Thank you!!Parking: There's a parking lot around back we didn't know about so we parked far away. Check around back!”
“I was looking for a quick bite before going to the San Clemente outlets and saw Surfin' Chicken Grill on Yelp. What a great recommendation for lunch. It is less than a 5 min drive from the outlets and close to the freeway. Nice size parking lot, dining space inside and outside the restaurant. It is a small shop inside a dying strip mall, but don't let that dissuade you from going. I got the half chicken and a small side of pinto beans. The total was about $14. The fresh roasted chicken, they drizzle a yummy garlic sauce on chicken before serving, came with 4 corn tortillas, a tiny cup of salsa (could have used more, but they charge for extra), some lettuce and guacamole. Chicken was flavorful though the breast meat was a little dry so the garlic drizzle and salsa helped a lot in the tacos I made. Will come again when I return to the area.”
“Awesome use of the space with the upstairs loft and video games. During our visit, there was a slight smell of maple and it was wonderful. The selection of beer was impressive. The only thing I would have preferred would have been an option for wine, as I am not much of a beer or soda drinker. Being able to see all the silos was interesting. The place was clean and the gentleman manning the bar was kind and attentive.”
“Excellent solution for a healthy meal or snack on the main street of San Clemente. In addition to the internal tables it also has an outdoor patio that allows you to enjoy the beautiful sunny days. Wide choice of vegetarian dishes, the ones we tried were all excellent. The smoothies are delicious. Very friendly staff, fast service. Aware of allergies and available to apply variations. Absolutely recommended!”
“They have tasty burgers, stiff drinks, good music, and a bunch of pool tables. What more could you ask for? Want today's games/fight you say? They have that too.”
“Chill space, with some street side seating, a handful of bar seats, and open air vibe in chill beach town. The beer is flat out top rate and has won many awards. Staff very personable and the roasted chicken salad sandwich with cucumber salad was spot on flavor wise and a healthy portion size.”
“I've lived in San Clemente for 43 years and have eaten at every sushi restaurant. This is a hole in the wall and you would never expect it but the looks, but they have the freshest fish, the best rolls, and prepare everything to perfection. I would highly recommend this establishment. Honestly it's spectacular. Look at the fresh fish board and order outside the box. You will not be disappointed.”
“I spent years in Japan and for an hour I forgot I was in California! The food is outstanding and authentic. ありがとうございました!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Cute decent sized eating place. They have a drive thru so there is no waiting time to sit. I order and can sit wherever you'd like. The food is pretty good for what's considered semi fast food. I love their hollandaise sauce, it reminds me of hawaii with a slight citrus taste. So far their sandwich, Kaula pork Benedict and French toasts have been delicious.”
“My food was done in about two minutesFor about $15 I bought the Mediterranean chicken wrap combo with chips and a drink. I wasn't sure it was a good deal, but it was because it was filling and delicious. First time ever at jimmy John's and can't wait until san diego county opens up their first ones!!!”
“Armando was great at the front counter. He explain to us with detail what every item had and answered all our questions. Thanks Armando keep striving!!Kid-friendliness: Very good service”
“This Taco Bell is located by Lowe's in San Clemente it is immaculately clean the times I've been there haven't been busy but steady the service has been great and the employees are very friendly and helpful.Wheelchair accessibility: Currently meets the California standards for wheelchair accessibility.”
“They were friendly, professional, and quick. I had a 9 year old with me, went back to the counter 3 times. They helped quickly helped each time, never made me feel I was inconveniencing them.”
“Yesterday i came in For lunch Right before i started eating i notice two asian people Came in a Started changing the air conditioning filters A big no-noo specialy during bussines hours and with out covering the salsa bar or any other area I asked the manager to stop them, he came out talk to them and the continued any way Check my facebook photos and videos...”
“Pedro's Tacos is one of favorites! Whenever we're near San Clemente we have to stop in. Our favorite foods are the quesadilla and Carne asada burrito.”
“Felt like I was down South, where the hospitality is palpable. ♥️”
“One of the very few McDonalds that stay consistent with their food and drinks. Hot and fresh. Haven’t yet to receive stale fries or a cold burger. Store is kept clean for the most part.”
“Just moved to the area and stumbled across this little gem. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately. Mind you it was a Friday night at 7pm so that was a plus. They also had bar seating available and back room tables available for a short wait. Hosts and servers were all so nice The wine selection was decent and the service was great. The fresh bread the gave us with dinner was delicious and served with regular and pesto butter. They didn't skimp on the clams. the spumoni appetizer was great. Will be adding to our rotation of restaurants for date night. We ordered: Bruschetta appetizer Pasta Puttanesca Vongole with white sauce Bottle of Daou wine $50 spumoni bomba paid around 130 before tax? not bad! Place was fancy enough for date night but also causal for families as well.”
“Great food and service. Was very impressed to see all workers wearing gloves and masks. Other restaurants need to follow your example. These are uncertain times and every precaution is necessary. I want to help support local businesses but if they don't protect both staff and workers, I won't be back. Kudos to you Guichos!❤”
“The server was great! Need more vegan options for dinners. Also, it was my birthday, and I told the server I was vegan. He brought desserts to the table that were not vegan. Thank you for the desserts though! Service was great. Wine was good. The noise level was very high.”

“Fun and unique flavors like tarot, cucumber & elderflower, pineapple & ginger. They also offer dairy free and vegan ice creams as well! So delicious and their staff is super friendly too!”
“Came with 6 of my family while visiting San Clemente on a Sunday evening without a reservation. We were seated pretty quickly. The ambiance was industrial and open but we had a corner booth with a small table and chair added and were all comfortable. The menu intrigued me as I like Ono Hawaiian. They offered many traditional Hawaiian offerings so it was difficult to pick one. I opted for the Luau Plate that came with a variety of proteins that I could sample to include pig, teriyaki beef, teriyaki salmon, Portuguese sausage, and shoy chicken (crispy skin on chicken thigh) and it came with 3 sides. I chose the pineapple fried rice, Hawaiian Mac Salad and roasted veggies. Let me warn you the plates/portions are huge with food good for sharing. The cost of all that food was under $21! We ordered the Hapa Nachos as an appetizer it too was huge with a generous amount of pork piled on top of a plate full of restaurant style corn chips with lots of gooey cheese, jalapeno and garnished with green onion and came with several sauces. The pork was really good and reminded me of a luau l went to while in Hawaii some years ago. My grandkids got teriyaki burgers which were good and topped with lightly grilled pineapple. It came with a side and they chose fries that were crispy and seasoned which was also tasty. My daughter had the chicken yakisoba with ramen style noodles stir fried which also was very good. My wife wasn't that hungry but had a side of the pineapple fried rice and a side of the macaroni salad. We tried the macadamia nut Mac & cheese which was good but for me a little on the bland side. On my luau plate it also came with pickled mango and coconut haupia (gelatin) which was the hit of the night. My wife and daughter tried mine and loved it so much that they each ordered their own. For 6 full meals with an appetizer and a little dessert the bill was $165 after tip! Service was excellent and attentive and the server answered all our questions. The food came out pretty quickly and hot. I will definitely eat here when we visit San Clemente again. We didn't trv anything from the bar but they had a Sunday drink special of $5 draft beers and $6 IPA's. Enjoy”
“Truly excellent breakfast - the best burrito I have ever had, freshly made with love! The coffee is excellent too and the beach vibe is unbeatable. Friendly staff and excellent food. We’ll be back!”
“Best bar I've been to. That's a bold statement Jamie is an awesome bartender. Tommy cleans the place and is super nice guy, place is literally squeaky clean. Serve bomb pizza and theirs prices are awesome!! Straight up rad bar where you can feel comfortable coming in alone. Good music, rad things on the tv. No better bar that I've been to that still existing.”
“Wow! I had the best coffee and my husband a delicious smoothie prepared by Ethan!!! Congratulations! Awesome atmosphere!!!! We loved it and will recommend this place a 100%! Keep up with the good job!! Thank you Ethan!!!!!”
“We dropped by our usual go-to Juice Stop here whenever we head towards San Diego and…. AS USUAL ALWAYS AMAZING! This time round we decided to have 21 Free Fall (right) and 26 Cross Cage (left). They’re both equally super delicious as always! Well deserved late review but we both love you guys ! ????”
“After being stuck in traffic I really appreciated hot and fresh food. It’s a cozy place with very customizable meals . The fried chicken was bland but crispy. Our server was super friendly !”
“My favorite gyro in south Orange County. Not too greasy or over-seasoned at all. Highly recommend the Baba-Ghanouj with the Arabic bread as an appetizer. Staff are very friendly and know their menu well. Hope this place continues to do well.”
“Had the ginger plum tea today and it was just what I needed, really refreshing. I like that they have real honey vs the syrup a lot of other coffee houses have. They make their own almond milk, and their coffees look pretty awesome! Easy five stars.”
“We have been coming to San Clemente for 30 plus years and always have stuck to the main drag. Just one block over you will fine the quant restaurant and pub called The Nomad. Ample indoor and outdoor seating creat a spacious dining experience. Our family enjoyed the outdoor deck while we snacked on wonderful appetizers and cocktails. A fantastic and relaxing experience for any nomad!”
“Service was fantastic. Our waiter Luca was on it. Amazing waiter. Great food and very much authentic. We had the swordfish, Beriia , ceviche and shrimp.

“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers”

“The best service I have ever had at a fast food restaurant (to include other in-N-Out restaurants). I had somebody open the door for me when I walked in and greeted me very warmly. I had two cashier contacts and the guy who gave me my food. All were super warm and courteous. The team and management need to be commended. This is how restaurants should run. And if you’re wondering, I do not know anybody who works at this restaurant nor do I work for In-N-Out. I just appreciate being treated right.”
“The food and service was great! What a dynamic waitress I had this morning! I tipped her 40% for being awesome and making my day! Protect her at all costs! We need more of her types these days! Thank you! Muah! See you soon!”
“I don't know why Pedro's has the mediocre rating that it has here, but I disagree. Pedro's is a perfect example of a place you go after a day at the beach or at night when you're just craving something quick yet not a chain fast food spot. Sure it might not be on any critics list but it doesn't need to be, it's simple yet still hits the spot when you want a good shrimp/fish burrito or taco. The trestles burrito is my personal favorite with battered fish and shrimp with good fixins. Pedro's is an ideal small beach town fish taco spot in my opinion”
“This place is awesome. We had chicken and steak Build your own tacos. Everyone loved it! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for making My Dad’s 95th great!!!”
