On the weekends they have live music, and you can also try out some of their craft cocktails. I recommend trying the prime rib sandwich, crab cakes, fried chicken, and any of the flatbreads!

If you have some extra time, its a great place to discover Old San Juan by walking across the tracks and down Los Rios Street. It’s truly the perfect place for the entire family to see some more history and discover new places to hang out in Orange County!
