"It was our guest time here; recommended by friends. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food was delicious; made to order. My husband had the country steak w/gravy and sides. I had the carne asada platter. Very tasty. Will return to try all the other dishes on the menu."

"My enduring lack of fandom for this establishment is a testament to its unwavering commitment to mediocrity. It's truly a marvel how a place can consistently underwhelm on every front – food quality, service, and ambiance – and still have customers. I can only assume the locals frequent it out of some deeply ingrained, masochistic habit, perhaps a nostalgic yearning for "the good old days" when the original owners apparently sprinkled magic fairy dust (and actual flavor) into their dishes. Speaking of dishes, my "Oriental Chicken Salad" was an artistic masterpiece of disappointment. For a mere $17, I was presented with what I can only describe as a deconstructed dream: a generous mountain of shredded iceberg lettuce (clearly a connoisseur's choice), a couple of canned mandarin orange slices (for that authentic, straight-from-the-can zing), and a triumphant handful of peanuts, boldly substituted for the advertised cashews. Because who needs cashews when you can have… peanuts? It was truly a culinary rebellion against the very concept of value. My daughter, ever the optimist, bravely ventured into the realm of waffles. Her plate arrived bearing four desolate waffle sections, flopped with all the enthusiasm of a damp dish rag. No fanfare, no fruit, no whipped cream – just a stark, minimalist statement of "here are some waffles. Now eat them." It was a profound lesson in the art of doing the absolute bare minimum. Despite the restaurant being only half-filled, our service was a masterclass in controlled chaos – simultaneously inattentive and rushed. One can only hope that no member of our family ever, under any circumstances, suggests a return visit. I'd rather eat my own underwear, and I'm fairly certain it would offer more flavor and better value."

"I came in for take out yesterday and can’t wait to come back! We had the Mollies Country breakfast and it was delicious! Perfect biscuits & gravy and the hash browns are great. The man at the front had great customer service as he was kind and efficient."

"Had a wonderful breakfast this morning at Mollies in San Juan Capistrano. Lizette was my wonderful and friendly server. I ordered Mollies country breakfast with scrambles eggs and country potatoes and a cup of nice tasty coffee. The ambiance was pleasant and upbeat and the service, food and staff w were amazing. Salvador was also very professional and friendly upon arriving and at checkout. Highly recommended!"

"Drove down the Ortega Highway to San Juan Capistrano with friends. Came here due to the number of reviews on Google. Over thousand with a score of 4.5 . Service did not disappoint from the moment we arrived. Place was busy with customers. All the staff was friendly and engaging. Our drinks were constantly topped off. Our waitress was accomadating. Always making sure our choices were to our likening. The amount of food you get and price was on point. Outside patio you are allowed to have your pet sit by your side. Mollies does not disappoint. It's great experience from beginning to end. You won't be disappointed with your choice!"
