EAST COUNTY'S ONLY IRISH OWNED AND OPERATED IRISH RESTAURANT!
Thank you for visiting our new website. Thornton's is the premier restaurant in East County now! Come try our fabulous Certified Angus Beef (C.A.B) steaks which are HAND CUT in-house by our Executive Chef. Our Irish dishes are unlike any you have seen in other Irish themed restaurants.
We use only the finest of local ingredients in our dishes. Only ONE item on our menu is not indigenous to Ireland, our wine. Every other ingredient is grown in Ireland.
Thornton's Irish Pub & Chop House is the first Irish cuisine focused restaurant in the United States. While we have Irish Pub in our name the emphasis is truly on the remarkable Irish cuisine. Our goal is to show the world, Irish Cuisine like it has never been showcased before.
Cead Mile Failte (A hundred thousand welcomes!)
Thornton’s is not your ordinary run of the millIrish Pub. We are a step above the rest with a focus on the great Irish cuisine. Our dishes are unlike any you have seen in other Irish themed restaurants. The emphasis at Thornton’s is truly on the food! Let us dazzle you with our Jameson Whisky Filet or French Cut Rack of Lamb. Or perhaps our Bailey’s Cream prawns are more to your tasting! Whether it is steaks, seafood or just regular old Fish and Chips (and you have not had fish and chips until you have had ours!) Thornton’s has a dish just for you! Let our Executive Chef Tom Dowd wow you!
Ciaran Thornton and Tom Dowd, two lads from County Louth and County Longford, Ireland opened the first Irish cuisine focused restaurant in Southern California a year ago. As an island, Ireland has the best of what the sea and the land have to offer in terms of cuisine. Here at Thornton's Irish Pub & Chop House, we take our heritage very seriously, and it is with a tip of our hat to the auld country, that we use only the finest ingredients. All of our fine seafood dishes are artisan in nature using local fresh seafood. All of our steaks and chops are cut by hand, in house by our chef. All our fine gravies and sauces are made from scratch under the watchful eye of our saucier.
