It’s hard to know if this place is a fine dining establishment (decor), pub (menu), honky-tonk (loud band in the dining room), or sports bar. The band had a big “merch” table in the dining room with the white tablecloths and candles.
We sat in the dining room while the band was setting up (fine dining?). There appeared to be a large party of “groupies” so we didn’t get much attention.
We ordered a burger and the short ribs, plus an artichoke appetizer. All was fairly good, but again…pub, or fine dining? I asked about the horseradish sauce for the short ribs, but the server was not informed enough about its ingredients.
Based on food alone, it was fine – if you want pub food. But if this place were on Restaurant Impossible, I can pretty much predict what Chef Robert Irvine would say!

The Station feels both classy and relaxed at the same time. I like how the historic train-station elements are worked into the design, and I especially love the live music—it adds so much to the overall vibe.

We used to come here when it was Paddy’s. I was a little worried about the transition to The Station, but I must say that I’m impressed! The space itself being an old train station and cars is so charming and adds so much character, and I like what the new ownership has done with the place.
We went on a Tuesday, and the main room was fairly busy and featured a live band. But if you don’t go for the music, it’s still a great time as the food was excellent and the service top notch! Tori took great care of us, and all our food was delicious, including the shrimp cocktail, huge wedge salad that was fresh and flavorful, and the short rib which was succulent and comforting. The prices were decent too (apart from the $11 draft beer, that’s pretty steep for a brew). I’m looking forward to returning to try more of their menu.
If the owners see this, please start a jazz night! You have the perfect venue for it. Swanky and fun! I would also love to see some swing, maybe with dancing, or big band style music too.
Keep up the good work!

My family and I had a great at the Station! We were celebrating my son and niece’s graduation. We made a reservation for 11 at 7:30. Getting out of the parking lot after the graduation was a nightmare. While I arrive on time, the rest of the party arrived 30 -45 minutes later. The staff was so accommodating and patient with us. Location was perfect since it was 10 minutes from the high school. Food and service was great! Very chill atmosphere. My family shot a little pool before dinner arrived. Overall, would recommend to friends and family.

1st time here. This place rocks!!! Apparently, they have live music every weekend. “Duct Tape” band was awesome, the small Irish band (after Duct Tape) in the bar area was a lot of fun, headed out as the 3rd band was setting up. Very fun atmosphere. Will definitely go there again. (Photos taken a week after during slow time).

Waitress Lily ? Wow, we found her completely inappropriate, ..after terrible service , messing up our drink orders SEVERAL times, ..upon paying the bill she yells out to our entire table, that her tip was only 10%, ..as she stood there waving her $20 tip then THREW IT BACK @ our table ..our bill was $120 , we believe tip should be based on SERVICE, not the bill. We ended up giving her $30 tip to make her happy, for HORRIBLE service .. ABSOLUTELY INAPPROPRIATE of her demanding a larger tip!!
WE WONT BE BACK.

This place is a great spot for a change of scenery. Trains stop and people board, and it’s quite entertaining to watch. The live music performances are really good too. The people here are genuine and friendly, and the servers are okay. It’s not a super crowded place, so it’s a nice break from the hustle and bustle.

The owner is super nice and accommodating. We thought the bar was going to be full. However he legitimately ran after us to let us know there was room and was so sweet and kind about it. The food was very good, the staff are very attentive and the atmosphere is great. This is a must if you take the train into San Juan Capistrano!

Absolutely had to stop by Paddy’s Pub to get a drink. My friend was not a fan of the service but I thought it was pretty normal. Lots of cool stuff to explore in this space (you might even get lost). Best part of the pub is that you can eat and drink in a train car. It’s pretty awesome! Sadly we didn’t get to see Frank or the rest of the gang.

We came here during the annual Swallow Festival, so there was a special menu for the day. I got a burger, and my boyfriend got fish and chips. The food was great! Our server offered us ranch, and it was delicious with the fries! House made! Little off that the fish seemed to be one big fillet. We saw customers get the one big fillet too. Not sure if that’s worth the $19 it cost. I feel like 3 fillets per order is standard.
We loved getting to eat in the train car. Very cool! Most folks were at the bar so we had the train to ourselves most of our visit.
Our server, Autumn, was fantastic! She was attentive, had great suggestions, and even brought me a free beer because the tap blew on the kind I ordered so it was a bit foamy. She didn’t need to do that, but she went the extra mile to give us a great experience.
I’m detracting a star for the other staff. When we came in, there was no one at the entrance to seat us. Several employees walked past us and ignored us. We eventually had to flag one down to be seated, and they told us we could sit wherever we wanted. If it’s self-seating, put up a sign. While we were eating, an employee and boss were having a discussion about work, hours, pay, etc. in the train car with us, which seemed unprofessional. Surely there’s someplace to have those kind of talks that isn’t within earshot of customers.
We heard a different server at a different table being asked questions about what kind of beer they had and the ingredients of the food, and she responded “I don’t know, I don’t work here.” So maybe she was just helping out for the day, but she should at least offer to go ask someone for the answers. I’m glad our server was great, because I would have been frustrated with the girl who doesn’t work there and was unwilling to be helpful.
Clean bathrooms. No one but us wearing masks, if that’s a concern.
