Paddy's Station

First time here and everything we ate was delicious… kiddos loved the food which is always a win win!! Jasmine was our waitress and she was kind, attentive and informative!!! We definitely will be back!

It's an awesome old train station that has been turned into a beautiful restaurant. Great outdoor and indoor seating. They have love entertainment too in the patio. The Ahi tuna nachos were amazing. Also just across the train tracks is the oldest neighborhood in California, with great art stores. Great place to walk after a great meal.

Trevor’s on the Tracks is a must! Steps from the Amtrak stop in San Juan Capistrano. Beautiful setting! Spacious restaurant, excellent ambiance, and cuisine. Many food / drink options & fresh produce. We even had the pleasure of meeting Trevor - nice guy! Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for a great outing with friends. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great vibes both on the patio and inside - we got seated rather quickly at a hightop on Saturday night, party of 2. Food was familiar but with a twist. Easy parking in the paid parking structure. In an energetic area and a good option if you’re entertaining guests. Would go back again and try more items off the menu.

First timer to Trevor's at the Tracks. We sat in the patio to hear the live music which was wonderful. Patio has retrackable covers and umbrellas to block direct sunlight. We had a cab bottle from their CA wine list. I was unfamiliar with any labels but tastes were offered and tried two and chose one. Our entrees were the brussel sprout starter and the grilled salmon with veg chopped hash and cauliflower puree. Both were Amazing and the cab went surprisingly well with flavors. We had the starter served with the entree to give flavor balance, it worked! Service was efficient and wine glasses were refilled by service when observed low. We met Trevor the owner just by hapchance not that we knew him but recognized him from restaurant's good reputation. He is a humble owner and was working doing meanial staff jobs like sweeping and moving umbrellas. No arrogance here. Perfectly comfortable dining experience and highly recommended! *****

Such a quaint area and ambiance. I recommend it as a cool experience to all. The flatbread I had was yummy. My friend has the short rib Bahn mi. I had the spicy Sicilian flatbread and it was great, the only comment I have is that one side of it was darkened crispy crust and the other side was perfectly cooked. Other than that it was a great experience.

The food was absolutely amazing here! We tried the karate chip chicken salad and a chicken sandwich, along with the tropical cobbler for desserts. There was a moderate to long wait probably because it was a Labor Day weekend, but it was absolutely worth it! They were even kind enough to serve a patty for our dog! Adding to the ambiance was the live music that just made the experience even better. We'll certainly be visiting this place again!

Trevor’s at the Tracks is a true gem in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. The location is unbeatable—set right next to the train station, making it a perfect spot for people watching and soaking in the charming energy of the town. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed watching the trains roll in and out while people came and went. It added a lively, nostalgic atmosphere to our meal. We ordered the Mac & Cheese with Chicken Parmesan and the Spicy Pasta. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The Mac & Cheese is rich and decadent—definitely a comfort food indulgence, and more than my mom could finish. The Spicy Pasta brought the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. Loved the fresh mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach in the dish. The service was top-notch. Friendly, attentive staff made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Trevor’s is clearly set up to accommodate everything from casual lunches to larger gatherings, and the ambiance is versatile enough for any occasion. Whether you're a local or just visiting San Juan Capistrano, Trevor’s at the Tracks is a must-visit spot.

This is a great place to chill with live music, good drinks and excellent food. The only (and not major) issue with the ambiance is the closeness of the tables on the patio. If you are next to a loud group - like some who don’t live here and ride the train from Santa Ana etc - it can be noisy. The food is actually outstanding. See attached pics.

Brought my dad on a walk around the area, I've been here before with my friend and brought him the next day. He liked the live music and we went here almost everyday for the vibes, food wasn't too bad- selectively I'd go for the flatbread (really liked the chicken pesto&bbq chicken) and service was great. Dad labs the taco beer 3 days in a row! So this is our go to now Everytime he comes back to Cali, my parents likes this place. Worth the buck for the atmosphere and overall experience.

The waiter was friendly and very very accommodating. We had a group of five couples and he allowed us each to have separate checks! Wow! I had a crispy chicken sandwich which was very good and the fries as well. My wife had a Seoul bowl which was even better! The setting right next to the tracks was very nice and it was high energy place on a beautiful sunny Saturday!

Trevor's has to be our favorite spot! Whether it's for a great bite to eat, drinks at the outdoor bar with the train rolling by, or even for our rehearsal dinner, Trevor's always pleases! Their GM runs a great staff, providing amazing service! Keep it up, Matt! We'll keep coming.

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.

A delicous restaurant at the train station. (This building used to be the train station.). It's trackside location is a great place to train watch for Metrolink and Amtrak. The menu is full of interesting and unique dishes that scream "order me." Flavors are well balanced. Highlights from our meal: - Fig and mushroom flatbread - the bacon wrapped dates - the unique house made ketchup that turned the already delicious fries into something that couldn't be put down. Service is friendly and helpful. Prices are a little high, but worth it for the quality. Special thanks to the gentleman working in the adjoining parking lot. He reccomended Trevor's immediately and made it clear that the right choice. If he's not getting a commission for the referral, he should!

Excellent food spot with great vegan options. The enclosed outdoor seating with heaters made it extremely comfortable, even in cooler weather. The live music created such a fun atmosphere. Our waitress, Diana, was the best; incredibly attentive and gave excellent recommendations. She really elevated the whole experience. Would definitely come back!

The flat bread with cauliflower crust is AMAZING... Probably one of the best i've ever had. We also had the truffle fries and they were so yummy! We will definitely be back! Great customer service as well!

Next spot was Trevor’s at the Tracks which we ended up finding while heading down to San Juan for the Halloween festivities. This place kept popping up on Yelp so we decided to give it a shot and honestly getting seated quickly on Halloween night with a party of five was a big plus right off the bat. We started with the flatbread and that was actually really solid and disappeared fast. Great flavor overall and the arugula on top of the figs added a really nice bitter sweet salty savory balance that I was impressed by. The truffle fries were a bit of a letdown though because they honestly tasted more like garlic fries than truffle fries and I didnt really get much truffle flavor at all which was kind of a bummer. My wife ordered the Cobb salad and the portion size was massive like huge which is great but it came out super dry. We asked if there was vinaigrette on it and were told yes but none of us could taste it so we asked for extra and even then it still didnt do much for the flavor. Another friend ordered the prime rib sandwich and said it was good with decent flavor especially with the au jus on the side but nothing that really wowed her especially for around $30. I ordered the Burger of Burgers because how do you not and that honestly saved the experience for me. Big patty great flavor and it definitely delivered. The sweet potato fries that came with it were also a solid choice and something I would recommend. Overall not a bad place at all just definitely more on the pricey side and I am not fully convinced the quality always matches the cost but there were a few highlights that made it enjoyable.

To-go order: I had a G.C. to Trevor's so I decided to give it a shot. For my family of 4 we ordered a kids burger, kids salmon, kids steak, and the far east fire ribs. The kids burger was just okay. The kids steak is a low quality cut, good enough for most kids I suppose. The salmon was delicious, my daughter ate every last morcel. The ribs were mine and oh my gosh they were so good. The entire slab of meat fell right off the bone for easy delicious consumption. The atmosphere of the restaurant is not really my vibe, but I could definitely go for more of those ribs.

1/4/26: Came back the second time with some friends. 1. Pear Favor cocktail: 4/5 - great, well balanced with flavors, sweetness and citrusy. I would prefer some spicy. 2. Cob Salad: 3.5/5 - good but lacked of flavors. The dressing was so bland, needs acidity, salt and pepper. Otherwise, it would be terrific. 3. Burger: 3.5/5 - good but I missed the umami, lacked of the charred smoky flavor. 4. Thai curry dish: 2.5/5 - ok, too sour and abit salty. The acidity overpowered everything else. The service was good.

First visit, this is a great, very different location, with a train stopping literally next door. The “Pretty Bird Chicken Sandwich” ($24) was very good, served with very good fries and spicy ketchup. The food was served hot, in a very reasonable time. The “English Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake ($14), was just OK. I’ve had this dessert in England and this was a poor try at it, although it did taste OK. The service was good, paid city parking lot ($2 / hr), but the total experience was quite dear, not someplace to visit regularly. Recommended.

We visited Trevor at the Tracks to celebrate our anniversary, and the setting couldn’t have been better. The restaurant is located in a beautifully restored 1894 railway depot, with a cozy indoor-outdoor vibe that adds so much character. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were crispy, flavorful, and definitely a must-try. The pasta was okay, but the English Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake stole the show. Moist, rich, and perfectly paired with the ice cream. It was unexpectedly amazing. I’d go back just for that. One disappointment: my husband had spoken to the hostess beforehand, asking if they could surprise me with a crème brûlée and a candle for our anniversary. She said they typically only do that for birthdays but agreed to do something special. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Our server handed us the regular dessert menu and mentioned crème brûlée wasn’t available due to their rotating dessert menu. While we understand things happen, it was a bit disheartening that the message didn’t get passed along. That said, we still enjoyed, and the dessert made up for it. A little more communication would’ve made it perfect.

Great location in SJC, this would be a great place for a date night or family dinner. We sat outside where the tracks are and had a pleasant meal. I ordered the Aloha salad which was really tasty and felt like it was made with premium ingredients. The dressing was a bit odd and didn’t seem to match the salad, it was more like a sauce you’d put on a burger but it still tasted good. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

It was raining in the bar so we got a table with a view of the tracks. Great waitress - excellent food - have to go back for the all in-house desserts but we were too full - huge portions. Excellent wine list. Pricy for lunch. Obviously a lot of tourists - went on a Friday in the rain - it may be quieter Mon-Thurs when it’s not a holiday week.

I brought my wife and three other women to Trevor's for lunch on Saturday afternoon. We had one party in a wheelchair. We sat in a pretty cramped and loud environment in the fireplace room. I asked the waitress if she would bring my wife and me a separate check. She said "I get it I've been doing this 20 years." I ordered the nacho ahi, which I would not order again and my wife ordered a bowl of clam chowder soup, which was very good. After dinner, our waitress brought my wife and me separate checks? That was no problem, I just paid them both. $28.02 for the ahi and chips, $15.09 for the clam chowder soup. So my bill was $43.11. I left both checks for her with $60 cash. The waitress brought back change or credit card receipts for two of the other guests but but never brought back my change. I guess she thought that the extra $16.89 was a tip. After waiting 15 minutes for her to bring me change I asked for the waitress. I asked her for my change. She brought it back and counted it on the table in front of all the other guests. Made me feel kind of cheesy having to ask for my change. My suggestion is to have your waitresses simply ask if the patron would like their change. Then the clients don't have to ask for their change. A lot of people would have probably been too embarrassed to do so. I didn't feel like her service was worth $16.80 but I left her 20% anyway, being that waitressing is a tough job.
