The Patron Saint of Hangover Food, always got my back
Visiting San Juan Capistrano we were crestfallen when we discovered the Walnut Grove Diner had closed down. However, a local advised us to try Mollie's Cafe. We were delighted to discover a more than worthy successor. The food at Mollie's was excellent - try the peach cobbler - and the staff were genuinely friendly. This is the place to go for food in SJC.
This place is such a gem! We came from out of town and found Mollie's when looking for dinner. We were seated right away. Our server was so accommodating, he asked the bartender to make a Michelada for my husband that wasn't on the menu! I ordered a strawberry margarita and once we both had our drinks, our server made sure our first sip was to our liking, asking if we'd like the ratios changed or if my husband would like more tajin or limes for his drink. So thoughtful. The menu has pretty standard items but a variety for sure. Overall great taste and all of our food hot. Thank you so much to the staff and chefs. Will definitely be back! 💜
A great place. Friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices. Breakfast and lunch for me when I'm in the region.
Chicken and waffles. My new go-to spot... delicious 😋.
