"Okay so I want to preface this by APOLOGIZING to Sadie by not leaving my review last night because I was just a little tipsy LOL but I'm keeping my word!!This is my favorite pub, not just because it's like 5 minutes from my house but because our first experience kept us coming back and the staff is literally so nice and we love the vibes here so much. Our first time here was about a year ago and our cat had to go to the emergency vet, we came in at like 1am after crying in the emergency vet and just needing to eat something and it was the only place open near our house. When we came in, we were still friendly but I think the staff could see we were super sad and they were SO sweet and nice and that just really made us feel really good and it's like our regular spot. SADIE IS MY FAVORITE <3 girl I literally love u. I come in probably 4 times a month and she's got my table at least 3 of those times. I've introduced her to my dad and everything haha! She is super sweet, so funny, ALWAYS on top of things as far as taking care of her tables and customers, and she's funny and all around just an amazing person. I'm so glad that I have somewhere to go where I feel comfortable with the staff (I am a nervous nelly). I just had surgery to get my tonsils out and they finally healed, the FIRST place I went was James Joyce to get those buffalo wings <3 they are THE BEST. So crispy and always perfect. SADIE thank you for always being the best, you are literally like a light floating around the pub!! Can't wait to see you in two weeks probably LOL"

"I had previously reviews this when it was Dan Diegos. I drive by it regularly and saw the name change to The Pub and kept telling my husband we needed to go to see what if any changes had been made. We came by on a Saturday, in the early evening. We sat on the patio and saw the QR codes to get the menu but when looking at the menu thought that surely there was more? I saw menus at the hostess stand and grabbed a few. Sadly there was just not the selection there once had been. I ended up getting my old standby fish and chips and my husband got the same but with shrimp (shrimp were breaded and fried . Kidlet got chicken nuggets with fries. The nuggets came with ranch (is this a thing people dipping nuggets in ranch?! . I asked for bbq and was given some which my kid proclaimed the best bbq sauce ever. Come to find out it is her favorite bbq sauce Sweet Baby Ray 's. Was disappointed when I looked at the itemized receipt a week later to see we were charged .25 for bbq. It is a quarter but I would have appreciated knowing it was an up charge. Or why couldn 't the server have asked it comes with ranch for dipping is that ok? I would have said no requested bbq sauce and saved some money and ranch that no one ate. My favorite adult beverage the craic punch was gone (insert sobs here so I had a rose. Husband had stromalo cider. We used to get the bread pudding with whiskey sauce but after seeing all the changes we decided to leave. Total $61.15 (cider $7.50, fish and chips $18 x 2, kids meal $5, rose $8, bbq .25 . While I can 't say I will never be back, I can say that it won 't be the go to place it had been for us for years and I will have my memories of Dan Diego 's and all the family and friends we brought there."

"Before I write the negative part of the review, I want to say that the restaurant's service is excellent along with the prices and quality of the food. If I was writing a review a few months from now, when a significant percentage of the population is vaccinated, it would probably be a four to five-star review. I have no complaints. This guy is a worthy successor to the legendary Ballpark pizza for anybody who lives in Mission Viejo for a long time once the COVID-19 pandemic does not pose as a significant public health threat. I am going to point out that the restaurant offers indoor dining. Since the number of people eating in the restaurant was extensive below the restaurant's rated capacity, there is not enough observable data to render an opinion on this issue. However, I did observe staff and management not wearing staff, which is a clear violation of municipal, state, and federal COVID-19 guidelines. While I have not engaged in multiple site visits to this location, my one trip here does suggest a substantial disregard of COVID-19 safety guidelines. In some areas outside of South Orange County (which generally skews conservative), his business practices would lose him customers because people comply with COVID-19 safety protocols. So if you consider that compliance with mask mandates and, less importantly, indoor dining compliance, I would not recommend order pizza until the amount of local COVID-19 transmission is drastically reduces once the amount of local transmission is similar to conditions in Australia and New Zealand than I think this good local business to support."
