When we walked in we were expecting a long wait. The host sat us immediately! We were very pleased with the environment of this restaurant. Very clean, and they even open some windows to let the beautiful beach air inside. Our food and drinks were ordered and then served to us very quickly! We were amazed by the service of this place. We ordered the Double Smashburger, and the Braised Short Rib. Both were phenomenal. My favorite was the Burger, they mastered that sauce! And The fries...cooked in beef tallow or avocado oil? Anyways we got the garlic parmesan ones and they were delicious. Our server was so kind and personable. Overall we had such an amazing experience!
Wow 🤩!!! This was our first time trying out Jimmy's and we gotta say we were very impressed. We were seated quickly even though it was very busy and once we ordered our food was at our table within 10 minutes. Very impressive! The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of space to enjoy together. What really makes it special is the view-it's beautiful and adds so much to the dining experience. We were very pleased with the environment of this restaurant. Very clean, and they even open some windows to let the beautiful beach air inside. The service was excellent-friendly, fast, and attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious. Absolutely loved our meal here! Everything that we have ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We have tried: Grilled local fish sandwich , Classic smash burger , Southern fried chicken and we have also had their delicious milkshakes - highly recommended! The food was fresh and hot, and the portions were surprisingly large. The fish was locally sourced and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The fried chicken was perfection, they serve Mary’s chicken and that’s the best chicken that you can get ( it’s pasture and humanly raised) , our favorite chicken that we get from Whole Foods and Sprouts. It’s a Must Try dish! The burger was delicious and perfectly paired with their secret sauce, yummy 😋! Overall: Jimmy's Famous American Tavern is the perfect spot for a relaxing meal with family and friends! Between the great service, amazing food, and stunning setting, Jimmy's Famous is a place we always look forward to visiting. Highly recommended for a casual yet elevated dining experience. Also they have great happy hour menu, definitely one of the best in town!

Absolutely loved our meal here! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, paired with a super fresh and colorful side salad. The grilled shrimp tacos were packed with flavor and came with crispy, well-seasoned fries. The kids' mac & cheese with Goldfish crackers was a fun and tasty touch, and the cookie was a sweet bonus! The service was excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was relaxed and family-friendly, with thoughtful touches like crayons and games for the kids. Highly recommended for a casual yet elevated dining experience.
The music isnt too harsh, its a nice warm atmosphere that has been designed very beautifully. I suggest trying the Brussel sprouts and servers are great. Plus the walkways arent jammed so you can move pretty easily if you have a walker. Southern fried chicken was great but the carrots were a little under cooked
This is a really good and affordable place to grab food. The portions are huge (even the happy hour items). This is definitely a place you could share meals and have lovely drinks. I'm still shocked on how much food you get with the happy hour. It's a clean and friendly place not far from the beaches and parks. Love the friendly service and atmosphere.
Great spot to grab a bite or drinks with friends & family. Walked in around 6pm on a Saturday and got seated within 5 mins. The staff and our server were kind and great. Starters came out pretty quickly. The food was amazing. Tried the clam chowder and although it wasn’t my preferred style of clam chowder I found it to still taste good. They made the burger really well and made sure the buns and fries were well done. The swordfish sandwich & garlic fries (well done) were phenomenal. Bread was toasted nicely, the swordfish was perfectly moist and not dry, the sauce they used in the sandwich hit the spot. They made my garlic fries extra crispy and golden-brown to perfection. The poke tostada was ok, it wasn’t too bad. The fish tasted good. The furikake rice cracker with the poke added a nice bite to it with its crispy nature. I just found the poke to not be as cold as I personally prefer it to be. The atmosphere was nice. The interior was pretty nice. Really loved that the design of the tavern allows for air to circulate into the space. It gives the sense of almost eating outside while still having a roof over your head. Huge fan of having a constant cycle of fresh air in any space.
I was not expecting the food to be so good! The food was excellent. Someone in the kitchen knows what they're doing. The recipes were on point. Would have given this place 5 stars but our waitress was slow, giving refills. Felt a little left alone. I will be returning soon. 08/12/2025 Since the last visit, I am broken hearted. They have gotten rid of the onion rings and have changed the gravey for the chicken a and waffles. I am so hurt and disappointed. There were other changes, these two really hit hard. Please Jimmy bring bring back the gravy! Please!
I love how amazing the inside is for Jimmy's Famous American Tavern where they served burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other delicious meals! I can cross the restaurant off the bucket list and create new memories in Dana Point!
Excellent selection of beers, loved the locally sourced fish sandwich!
We held our wedding reception here. We booked a private room. The staff was incredibly helpful planning our event all the way up to the day before. We were able to choose several appetizers, main dishes and we also paid for bar service. The night of was perfect. Everything was served hot and it was all delicious. All of our guests commented on how wonderful everything was. We would highly recommend booking with them for your event as well. Loved it!

Service service service. Server Jason clearly knows what he’s doing for hospitality. (Hope i got the name right lol ) this restaurant should be happy to have him ☺️ Got a little shit service from next door and recovered all from Jimmy’s famous tavern. food, drink, vibes all check the boxes for 5 stars.
We were there for a welcome night party for an upcoming wedding. The staff, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely fabulous. The buffet style meal was gluten free with just one dairy item added. There was plenty of room for sitting and socializing.
What a great find. Usually around tourist destinations the food and service gets bad. Not the case here. Clean, open restaurant. The service is soo good from the Hostess to the Servers. The food is hot and always good. I've been there 4 times now, so I've tried many different items. You can bring your family here or even a date. Just a great experience overall.
We went on a Monday afternoon to checkout happy hour at Jimmy’s. The restaurant was mostly empty and there was no one to great or seat us when we walked in. We had to hunt someone down to attend to us. The location is great and the inside decor is nice. We tried the calamari which was just ok, nothing special. The drinks were also unremarkable but looked nice. They didn’t have a unique flavor. The star of the evening was the cheeseburger which was delicious. If we go again we would order one burger and split it because is was a substantial meal. The service once we were seated was very was good.
Food was on the OK side. Wasn’t in my top 10. I had the French dip which was fatty and full of sinew. Almost like it was pulled off the bone, which left the white sinew sheath. I think that has to do with the prime cut they were using. Atmosphere is awesome and the service is top-notch. Looks like a great place to bring your friends and have a couple of drinks while enjoying the view. Right across from the marina although there is a road in between you and the marina.

I hope the owner/purchaser sees this! Most important part of this review, the large black straws that come with a shake. Tonight my son got a shake and said his lips tasted funny and the straw made his drink taste gross. Me thinking he was being dramatic, I took the straw, put my lips over it like i was drinking, and wow! The most horrible taste of chemicals and made my lips tingle. My dad thinking I was now being the dramatic one, licked the middle part of the straw, with the same horrible face and response as ours. So whoever is buying this straw, please stop immediately and go taste one for yourself! The food was good. My husband and I each got the smokehouse burger. It was such a mess and completely fell apart that I stopped only finishing half, but it was tasty. My husband also gave up. The fries however, delicious! Fish and chips were said to be good also.
Jimmy's Famous American Tavern - Dana Point is a high-end restaurant with a great atmosphere and excellent service. However, unfortunately, my first dining experience wasn't that great. First of all, we spontaneously decided to come here so I just quickly reviewed the menu. I decided to have the meatballs or wings and dessert. Unfortunately, the meatballs are only available on Monday. The chicken wings are only on the happy hour menu which is available on weekdays only. Next, we had six adults and a toddler. It was not easy to have a conversation at our big round table because the environment was loud. Also, my pictures did not turn out well because the lighting was a bit too dark. All the videos show and contain family members whom I cannot post in public. If I am wrong don’t take it personally. This is my humble opinion only. Lastly, my husband and I both made a big mistake by having shakes. Because our meal took longer than expected, we finished our drinks before the food arrived and felt full. I barely ate any of my lasagna when it finally came although it looked delicious and was a really generous portion. All in all, our highlight of the night was the shakes. I highly recommend the PB&J flavor. It was outstanding. But it was gigantic. It was twice as large as what you might get at another restaurant.
Food was good, but skimpy on the protein at higher price point. Service was lackluster. Family was in town over the holidays, and we were out and about, feeling peckish. Checked options in the area, and this looked suitable. Arrived for lunch, greeted by a hostess. Seated and provided menus. The 3 adults ordered 1 beer, and 2 cocktails, in addition to the Buffalo Cauliflower and Braised Brussel Sprouts, all very good. 2 kids got burgers off the kids menu, and adults got 3 orders of fish & chips, one with regular fries, one with sweet potato fries, and the third with garlic fries. All the fries were excellent, but the fish was lacking; at about US$26, I would expect more than two pieces of fish (3?), and a little more (albeit good) tarter sauce than the thimble sized ramekin. Service was sparce; we even had to seek server out for refills. Out the door US$221 lighter. Won't return as there is far better at this price point, some of it on or overlooking the water.

Been coming here since they opened. Super bummed about the menu changes and so are a few local friends I’ve dined with. Everything I loved is gone and it makes me sad. I am not impressed with the flavors of some of the menu items such as the dressing on the wedge, the corn in the chowder. I miss the old chowder. Many of their sandwiches come in toasted sourdough. I can see the tuna melt. But a bit redundant on items like the yellowtail sandwich that would taste so much better in a ciabatta. The menu lacks entrée options. Right now it’s short rib, fried chicken and mash, a few more but nothing exiting.There’s a lot of redundancy. It seems like they’re possibly trying to keep an eye on cutting down on ingredients and costs. But once was my go to lunch spot, I will now be visiting much more frequently. hopefully they don’t become just a generic diner type restaurant. This location is an opportunity for creative culinary. I just feel like could bring so much more to the table.
As the nextdoor restaurant had a one-hour wait and Jimmy's was empty, with little time before our boat trip, we decided to eat a quick breakfast. The waitress was very helpful and friendly but we were very disappointed in the choice of food for breakfast/brunch. I had the bacon, eggs and tots. I don't really like tots so they tasted pretty bad for me and I left most of them, as did my daughter who had a sandwich with tots. The cheeseburger we ordered was very greasy and we left most of it. If you want breakfast, go early and eat next door! I was there for brunch; their lunch and dinner might be better as other reviewers have stated.

The Smash burger was very good, but the bun fell apart, very messy. The fries were a tad thinner than my preference, and very salty, so much so that I didn't finish them. My wife thought they we salty too. When you have fries that are salty and thin, all you really taste is salt and oil, loses the potato taste. The brussel sprouts were very tasty. But I'm going to give you a suggestion to make them better: don't use maple syrup, use blue agave syrup. Guaranteed it will be a hit, less sweet, lower glycemic. To add "grilled" chicken to the Cobb salad it was $8. It was not grilled. It was a bit dry, super lightly browned on one side and "white" on the other. Very disappointing. The staff were very friendly and the wait staff attentive and professional.
I've been going to Jimmy's for 12 years. They have a new chef. The new chef took ribs off the menu completely. It's one of the best things they served and they took it off the menu. They had a happy hour Smashburger. It was pure crap. I tried the loaded chips, again, not good. And it wasn't just my opinion, on Monday nights in the fall, Jimmy's is always busy. The place was absolutely empty. I will not be going back, and I am very disappointed 😟

We came in from out of town hoping to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving dinner, and unfortunately this place completely missed the mark. I’ll start by saying our server was great—friendly, attentive, and clearly doing their best. But everything else was a disaster. We waited over an hour and twenty minutes for our food, and when it finally showed up, it was honestly unacceptable. The stuffing looked and tasted like something straight out of a can—I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Whoever thought pumpkin soup was a good idea should seriously rethink that decision, because it was flat-out nasty. For a bill that came out to over $200, we expected at least decent food, not something we couldn’t even finish. We even waited for pumpkin pie but ended up leaving right after paying because we were already that disappointed. Terrible food, extremely long wait times, and way overpriced. The only bright spot was our server. Never again.

This really could have been a nice place. The food was EXCELLENT but the service was worse than anywhere I’ve been in a long, long time. We came previously for dinner and the place was rented out for a private event, so they said they would give us 2 $10 coupons for our next visit - alls fair, makes sense. We came back tonight for dinner and after the food, they wouldn’t redeem one of the coupons. They made it an incredibly uncomfortable experience for us, all over $10 for goodness sake. We said fine, we would get a dessert or something to use the second coupon. She put her foot down and refused. We ordered the dessert anyways, and the manager went to the kitchen and cancelled it without telling us! What level of pettiness do you have to have to do that!? We sat there 30 minutes waiting for a dessert that would never come. Not only was it only $10, but she was rude, cancelled our order, took forever to seat us when we first got there, and made us all angry after an otherwise pleasant evening. TEN DOLLARS!? Wow. Never had such a negative experience for a business to save $10. Cheap, cheap, cheap. And mean.

# Glasspar: Un Faro Gastronómico en el Corazón de Dana Point
Dana Point, una joya resplandeciente en la costa sur del Condado de Orange, California, es un enclave donde el lujo, la belleza natural y un estilo de vida relajado se fusionan armoniosamente. En medio de este escenario idílico, emerge Glasspar, un establecimiento que encarna la sofisticación y el encanto costero que define a la ciudad. Ubicado estratégicamente en las coordenadas 33.4632743, -117.6944552, Glasspar se sitúa en una posición privilegiada que lo conecta directamente con la esencia marítima y la atmósfera vibrante de Dana Point. Este artículo invita a explorar Glasspar no solo como un restaurante, sino como una experiencia integral que refleja el espíritu y la evolución de su entorno.
Para comprender plenamente la propuesta de Glasspar, es esencial sumergirse en el contexto de Dana Point, una ciudad con una rica herencia y una identidad distintiva.
Dana Point debe su nombre a Richard Henry Dana Jr., un marinero y autor que documentó sus experiencias en la costa de California en el siglo XIX en su célebre obra "Two Years Before the Mast". En sus escritos, Dana describió la bahía de Dana Point como "el único lugar de anclaje entre San Diego y Santa Bárbara que ofrece cierta protección", destacando su importancia estratégica para el comercio de pieles en la época. La "Bolsa de Hide" de Dana Point, una formación rocosa en el acantilado, era el punto donde los marineros arrojaban pieles de ganado desde lo alto para ser recogidas por los barcos. Esta historia pionera sentó las bases de una ciudad que, con el tiempo, se transformaría de un puesto comercial rústico a una comunidad costera de prestigio.
A lo largo del siglo XX, Dana Point experimentó un desarrollo significativo, especialmente con la creación de su puerto deportivo en la década de 1970. Este proyecto transformó la zona, convirtiéndola en un centro de actividades náuticas y un imán para residentes y turistas que buscan disfrutar del océano. La visión de una comunidad planificada, que preservara su belleza natural mientras ofrecía comodidades modernas, ha guiado su crecimiento, resultando en un equilibrio entre la elegancia residencial y el dinamismo turístico. La ciudad ha logrado mantener un encanto atemporal, fusionando su pasado histórico con una visión de futuro orientada a la calidad de vida y la sostenibilidad.
La geografía de Dana Point es, sin duda, su mayor atractivo. Sus acantilados dramáticos, playas de arena dorada y el icónico puerto deportivo crean un paisaje de postal. El "Headlands" de Dana Point ofrece vistas panorámicas del Océano Pacífico, un lugar privilegiado para observar ballenas y delfines, especialmente durante las migraciones estacionales. La ciudad es un punto de partida reconocido para excursiones de avistamiento de ballenas, consolidando su reputación como un santuario marino.
El puerto deportivo de Dana Point es el corazón de la actividad marítima, albergando desde lujosos yates hasta pequeñas embarcaciones de recreo. Es un centro vibrante con tiendas boutique, cafés, restaurantes frente al mar y acceso a deportes acuáticos como paddleboard, kayak y vela. Las playas, como Doheny State Beach y Salt Creek Beach, son populares entre surfistas, nadadores y familias que buscan relajarse bajo el sol californiano. Senderos costeros serpentean a lo largo de los acantilados, ofreciendo oportunidades para caminatas vigorizantes con vistas espectaculares. La brisa marina, el sonido de las olas y los atardeceres dorados son elementos intrínsecos de la experiencia de Dana Point, creando una atmósfera de serenidad y aventura que atrae a visitantes de todas partes.
Dana Point no es solo un destino vacacional; es un lugar donde la calidad de vida es una prioridad. La ciudad atrae a residentes que valoran la tranquilidad, la seguridad y el acceso a servicios de primera clase, junto con una conexión inigualable con la naturaleza. Sus barrios residenciales están diseñados con una estética que complementa el entorno costero, con propiedades que a menudo ofrecen vistas al mar y acceso a comodidades exclusivas.
Para los turistas, Dana Point ofrece una experiencia sofisticada y relajante. Hoteles de lujo, spas de clase mundial y una gastronomía diversa se suman a sus atractivos naturales. La ciudad acoge eventos culturales y festivales durante todo el año, desde regatas de vela hasta conciertos al aire libre y exhibiciones de arte, fomentando un fuerte sentido de comunidad y celebración. La combinación de su belleza escénica, su ambiente tranquilo y sus ofertas de ocio y gastronomía de alta calidad la convierten en un destino codiciado tanto para estancias cortas como para la vida a largo plazo.
En este entorno de prestigio y belleza natural, Glasspar se alza como un pilar de la escena gastronómica local, un lugar donde la excelencia culinaria se encuentra con el encanto costero.
El nombre "Glasspar" evoca inmediatamente una conexión con la historia náutica y el diseño. Glasspar Boat Company fue un fabricante pionero de embarcaciones de fibra de vidrio en Estados Unidos, fundado en la década de 1940. Sus diseños innovadores y su contribución a la popularización de las embarcaciones de recreo en la posguerra tienen un eco cultural significativo, especialmente en una comunidad como Dana Point, donde la vida marítima es central.
Al adoptar este nombre, el restaurante Glasspar no solo rinde un sutil homenaje a la innovación y el legado náutico, sino que también sugiere una filosofía de diseño y calidad. El nombre insinúa una estética que podría ser a la vez moderna y clásica, con un enfoque en la artesanía y la durabilidad, cualidades que se esperan tanto en un barco bien construido como en una experiencia culinaria excepcional. Esta elección de nombre refuerza la identidad del restaurante como un establecimiento profundamente arraigado en la cultura costera y el espíritu de la ingeniería y el diseño que han definido la relación de la humanidad con el mar. Es un guiño a la elegancia atemporal y al espíritu aventurero que caracteriza a Dana Point.
