    Used to come here with my friend. She had a boyfriend of like 4 years and when we went she would give her number to guys. I always stood there while she was flirting with the guys. The place has a nice vibe, but I didn't like what was happening to me. Every Sunday she kept wanting to go with me. It was fun at first, then it just felt wrong. I thought it was strange when she never invited her boyfriend. I never tried the food, but the staff is nice. I also never tried the drinks. I just stood around. The ceiling is cool there too so if you get bored there's plenty of stuff to look at. I stopped being friends with her because she made out with my brother. But yeah this place is legit. Funny characters. Although the bathrooms made my anxiety worse permanently I think.

    Firstly This is always been a wonderful place, for the past 31 years! Country western dancing, (they' probably have other types of music, but every time I come in, it'scountry-western and that's OK with me. There are pool tables, and groups are usually polite about letting the next patrons have their turns. I've never purchased fancy mixed drinks here, it's more of a beer place to me. I don't remember buying anything but chicken wings here! The facade esp during the daytime can use an updated paint job. I've always appreciated the fact that they consistently ID/card people before entering. There have been other local bars and dance places, but they come and go, but this big shots Billards, seems to always be here to stay. I recall a time where line dancing and cowboy boots were extremely popular. I believe that was in the 90s or late 80s. This place was really popular then especially (aging myself here). lol When I come here, it's more for a nostalgic memory. It's nice to know that for nightlife this has always been a choice, and we appreciate that.

    By the bar!

    Incredible time with my friends. I haven't been in about 4 years and it was still just as fun. Brice was the friendly bouncer, and DP & Christina were my friendly bartenders! I danced to the first song but found myself with two left feet! We played pool and the boys danced and were silly and overall it was a good time. We don't go out and drink often but it was nice to go back and have it be just as fun as I remembered. Be kind to the service workers, they deal with drunk bollucks daily and you don't wanna be that person.

    This place sucks. They said they were open until 2am but it's 1am and they wouldn't let us in. Don't waste your time. They are jerks.

    Paid the $5 cover to check out the tables on a Friday night. They had a live band so I thought it would be promising. Unfortunately, the large amount of cigarette smoke within this establishment turned us away. The billiards tables were in poor condition and at an hourly rate of $17, it was a far stretch. No darts and a limited bar. We forfeited the cover charge and left because it just wasn't vibing.

    Very large facility. Has a very Large dance floor. A fourth of the place is pool tables. Has a Decent sized L-shaped bar. Good food pricing. Large sized food portions. Has a stage for Live bands/entertainment. Lots of TVs at the bar, for sports games.

    9 pool tables in one room is rare in orange county! High quality cloth on 9ft tables.

    9 pool tables, live music, kids are allowed with adults, 18 year olds can come for pool and live music, great servers and bartenders. Food is really good for a bar. Everyone is so nice.

    I call it the big red barn ~ off the 5 fwy at El Toro. It's a big saloon with music, a dance floor, lots of billiard tables, and a bar area. Seeking a friendly place to go out dancing, I've tried Bigshots a couple of times. If you like line dancing, they've got it. Personally, I'm a West Coast Swing dancer, and line dancing doesn't give me the same thrills. For me, better when there was a live band than on a line dancing night. The place is spacious and clean, and has hightop tables for seating. Once past the front door security and $5 cover charge, the clientele is welcoming. On my last visit, the bartender Mike/Michael, was rude. I read reviews that said he was very friendly, not to me. Perhaps my request for a single malt scotch was overwhelming for him. He had little to zero knowledge of what I was asking for. I took my scotch and my Modelo and sat near the billiard tables with a view of the dance floor. Waitresses were accommodating. The drinks are reasonably priced and the food is okay for bar food. I had a hamburger there once and I've seen other folks eating wings and things. Wish there was a country bar in South Orange County with more focus on the music and the dancing. This is so nearby for me that I had really hoped to love it. ‍ *BUT, the two taco trucks in the parking lot are outstanding! They're there daily from 3PM to midnight. Both very different and delicious. I've tried them both a few times now and I prefer the green truck over the yellow truck.

    Mike the bartender is a badass! so hardworking, so sweet & funny! thank u for putting up w us

    After work, I've took a long drive from North Orange County all the way to Lake Forest (South…read moreOrange County) for some food and drink at Jarrod Schulz's The Rush Bar and Grill. It's my first time at this bar and hopefully not the last. Now time for the fun part. I sat at the bar area to not only have a small talk with a bartender, but also have a decent drink, my usual drink at a dive bar or sports bar is the jack and coke (Jack Daniels and Coca-cola). Gotta love it. For the food.... I got me some southwest egg rolls, and California burger. Yum. First off, egg rolls was sooooo delicious, especially with that special sauce.... really nice kick to it. California burger is so good. Added bonus, I had some sauce leftover which I've tried it on the burger. Soooo good. Cost wasn't too bad. 10.95 for the egg rolls, 18.95 for the burger, and $10 for the jack and coke. Oh, and I didn't forget to tip the lady (bartender). Funny thing is, she had no idea I'm left handed. I'm just glad my parents never smacked my left hand for writing with my left hand. Before I left the parking lot, some guy saw me, and was telling me how great Jarrod is. I've heard of him long time ago. One day, I'll introduce myself to Jarrod. Hopefully soon enough. See ya around, try not to get your left hand smacked, ya?

    Before I even get to what may genuinely be the greatest burger I've ever eaten, I have to start…read morewith Nevaeh. Somehow, Nevaeh managed to make three grown men eating burgers after rock climbing feel like we were being welcomed home after returning from a dangerous expedition. Every Wednesday, two of my childhood friends and I go rock climbing together. We've known each other forever, and our Wednesday routine has become sacred: climb until our fingers are destroyed, debate whether we got stronger or just found easier problems, then head to Eureka! for burgers and beers. And then there is Nevaeh. From the moment we sat down, her service was exceptional. She was warm, funny, attentive, and somehow appeared exactly when we needed something without interrupting three childhood friends catching up. The IPAs arrived cold and perfectly timed. And then came the burgers. After climbing for hours, you're operating on another level of hunger. Your forearms are cooked, your fingertips hurt, you've had that first sip of IPA, and you're discussing completely meaningless things with the seriousness of a United Nations summit. And then, in the distance... Nevaeh appears. Carrying the Double Smash Burgers. Time slows down. Conversation stops. Three men quietly turn their heads. She approaches carrying what can only be described as beautifully constructed monuments to beef. With the confidence of someone who understands exactly what she's bringing to the table, Nevaeh places the Double Smash Burger in front of me. At that moment, nothing else matters. I've been eating burgers since I was a child. Backyard burgers. Burgers after sports. Fast-food burgers. Steakhouse burgers. Gourmet burgers with ingredient lists requiring their own table of contents. I'm 41 years into my burger education. I thought I understood burgers. Then Nevaeh put this thing in front of me. The patties have those magnificent thin, smashed edges pressed against the griddle until they develop a deeply browned caramelized crust. The edges are crispy while the center remains incredibly juicy. Then comes the cheese, melted into every irregular crack, crevice, and crispy edge until the beef and cheese essentially become one glorious substance. The freshness and acidity of the toppings cut through the richness, the sauce brings everything together, and somehow the bun contains this entire operation without collapsing under the enormous responsibility assigned to it. Nothing dominates. Nothing is unnecessary. Every ingredient seems to understand that its sole purpose in life is to make the next ingredient taste better. Then you reach for the IPA. That first cold, bitter, hoppy sip after the burger is borderline transformative. The hops slice through the richness of the beef and cheese. The carbonation resets your palate. The bitterness contrasts perfectly against the salty, caramelized crust. Suddenly you're ready for another bite. Burger. IPA. Burger. IPA. Childhood friend says something. Nobody hears him. Burger. IPA. Nevaeh walks by and somehow already knows we're doing great. At this point I'm wondering whether she received specialized training in burger logistics because her timing was almost suspiciously perfect. Need another drink? She's there. Need something for the table? Already handled. Want to actually enjoy a conversation with friends without constantly being interrupted? She understands that too. That's what makes Nevaeh exceptional. Great service isn't hovering over a table every four minutes. It's anticipating what people need while allowing them to enjoy why they came in the first place. Nevaeh absolutely mastered that. Somewhere between the Double Smash Burger, my second IPA, and laughing with two guys I've known since childhood, I realized something. Burgers have quietly followed me through my entire life. Family barbecues as a kid. Burgers after sports. Burgers with friends as a teenager. Burgers after long days. And now, decades later, every Wednesday after climbing, it's still the same thing. Same food. Same childhood friends. We're just older now. And apparently we've finally found the final boss of burgers. The Eureka! Double Smash Burger. So I'm prepared to make an extremely irresponsible statement: This is the best burger I've ever eaten. Could climbing-induced starvation have influenced this conclusion? Possibly. Could two IPAs have strengthened my conviction? Almost certainly. But I have enough experience in burger consumption to stand behind my findings. The Double Smash Burger is phenomenal. The IPA pairing is perfection. But Nevaeh is what turns the whole thing into an experience. She doesn't just bring you a burger. She arrives carrying the burger. She presents the burger. She understands the gravity of the burger. The end.

    The burgers were awesome and our server, Nevaeh, was amazing. We come back every week for the deals.read more

The soufflé pancakes were good but I personally don't think I would re-order them but it was a good sweet bite to pair with our savory one! The service was incredibly sweet here and for that alone, I will definitely be back for brunch.
