Old California Mining Co

I just ate here for the first time a few days ago... I got the filet mignon trio and my friend got the tri tip. Both were amazing... and the miners punch drink was delicious and potent. I highly recommend this place, I will be back soon. Next time I will be getting the tri tip. It was the best I have ever tasted. Give this place a try.

First off, the employees here are terrific and really helped to make my mom and dad's anniversary dinner very enjoyable. This after a very disappointing experience at Bruno's across the street. This restaurant is a throw-back to vintage Americana when dinners were huge. If you're looking for good food, excellent service, and a fun environment, then you've found your place. We started things off with coconut shrimp and spinach artichoke dip. The spinach artichoke dip, or as the cool people call it "spin dip", was freaking awesome, the flavor was top notch. On top of the taste, they had no problem providing us with additional chips when we ran out. I then chose the Tri-Tip Dinner which was very good. However, my mom and sister had the Bourbon Apple Chicken, which based upon their reviews and my own "samplings" and left overs was delicious. Both dishes came with the Both dishes came with the choice of sides, I loved the garlic mash potatoes and the salad bar, which was delicious

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at the Old California Mining Company! I got the Chicken and Mushroom Pasta and it was absolutely fabulous. My sister got the soup and salad bar which gives you unlimited soup and salad. She said it was wonderful. My dad got the Jalapeno Burger and said it was one of the best he's ever had. The food and the fair prices made it an overall lovely expedience. If I lived in the area (I'm here for a family vacation) I would absolutely come here again.

We ate there for the 1st time today and with their specials the prices were great! The service was great today, not too full and the waitress was great. They have a big humongous menu that should please anyone. I had the salad bar which was stocked nicely and my hubby had a sandwich/fries which he was pleased with. I want to try the steak and also the carrot cake when we go back. We don't live in San Marcos so it isn't real close or we'd go often. The booth was cozy and comfy feeling. The bar had lots of happy people in it.
