    My lobster tail
    Maggie R.

    We went in with big eyes and small stomachs--had to try everything The hanger steak was a hit, and I loved the lobster tail. Portions are definitely shareable, which we appreciated. I can already tell this spot is going to be a Norco go-to. Service was friendly, easygoing, and made the whole experience even better. And shoutout to the chefs, because wow... finger-licking good. Only note: noticed the American flag( above the bar) is folded incorrectly--something worth fixing.

    I came here for lunch on a Saturday since it is pretty close to the cemetery where I spent my morning. There was a lot of empty seating. They have a lunch menu so I decided to order the smokehouse burger which was a bit cheaper than the other things on the menu. We also ordered a steak and calamari. The calamari was an appetizer but the portion was huge we were it as a meal. The burger was huge too I ate it in two separate parts. The steak was cooked to our liking and the butter on top was delicious! I would love to know the name of the butter flavor. The service was good too, our server shook my dad's hand which I thought was funny. Bathroom was nice as well and the overall ambience felt very country-like.

    We went in with no expectations, saw steak place. It looked good. And we decided to give it a shot. And absolutely loved everything. The meats were well seared and seasoned. The sides were delicious. The service was phenomenal. They advertise it as an upscale steakhouse for this area. Not LA upscale, but like Norco area upscale. It had a very cute ambience very western totally fit the vibe of the city. I love how you can see where all the steaks are being aged. They have ties out front so you can tie up your horse and enjoy a meal. It was definitely a good experience. I will be back. There's other things I wanted to try.

    Chicken Chimichurri Sandwich
    Angie M.

    I was in the area this past weekend and was recommended this restaurant as I was told they had recently started serving lunch. I didnt see any steak options as part of the lunch menu, so I went with the Chicken Chimichurri Sandwich. It came with fries and I also added on a side salad. The salad was amazing as the onions were soaked in a type of balsamic with fruit tones. They were SO good! The fries were really good also. Fries arent hard to mess up but not all places can do them well. These were really good. The sandwich I was a little underwhelmed with. I didnt taste any chimichurri which I was really looking forward to. It has arugula though which I am obsessed with and added great flavor to the sandwich! I definitely would have ordered a steak plate if it was offered for lunch. I did get the dinner menu as well and was told I could order from that. I also had a glass of the J Lohr Chardonnay and it was crisp and perfect. The service was impeccable. The gal that sat me and was my waitress was so friendly and attentive. What I believe was the manager came over and said hello and I shared it was my first time there and that it was recommended to me. I joked with my friend who is local to this restaurant I was going to go check it out, have lunch and maybe wrangle me a Norco Cowboy. I was the only one there for lunch, so that didnt happen but I will definitely come back for lunch again when I am in the area. Last little tidbit, I was really surprised they didnt have country music playing! :)

    The charcuterie board, the cheese with some crystal bites are so good!

    Good here is superb! They also have a meat market and we love going there. But imagine not just fresh steak from the butcher but they cook it for you! Not only do they cook it they serve yummy drinks! Came here for of course the steak, the drinks and the charcuterie board. This is the only place I can try the cheeses I would like or not. LOL. The owner here, Nicole is on fire! She knows how to run shop at all locations and she's always running in every direction to make sure her customers have a wonderful experience. The ambiance is nice here. You can actually see the cooks cooking if you're sitting close to the kitchen side. We don't have many steakhouses in our area and this one is hands down one of the best! If you're in the area give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

    I had an unexpectedly great experience at this steakhouse, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. While you'd normally come here for the steaks, I decided to switch it up and ordered the chicken fettuccine along with the steak frites--and both dishes were seriously impressive. The chicken fettuccine was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was cooked just right, and the chicken was tender and flavorful, not dry at all like you sometimes get at other places. It had that comforting, homemade feel but with a more elevated, restaurant-quality touch. The steak frites, though, were the highlight. The steak was cooked exactly to my liking--juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor with a great sear on the outside. The fries were crispy and fresh, pairing perfectly with the steak. You can tell they pay attention to quality here. The atmosphere was also on point--nice balance between upscale and relaxed, making it perfect for a date night or even just a solid dinner out. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, even if you're not strictly in the mood for a traditional steakhouse order, this place delivers across the board. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Tomahawk and lobster tail
    Nancy E.

    This is a great steakhouse! Great ambience with the meat cellar visible in the dining room and great country charm. Our server was attentive and had great energy and knowledge of the menu. He walked us through the menu and gave us great suggestions. The food was amazing! The candied bacon slab was tender with just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered the tomahawk steak, Mac and cheese, calamari and shishito peppers and lobster tails. Tomahawk steak melted in your mouth, Mac and cheese was cheesy but not over powering, calamari had a good light crispy coating and lobster tails were big and fresh! Expect to spend a pretty penny but worth it for the quality and freshness! Definitely will come back!

    A new steakhouse in the neighborhood?!!! We had to try. It's a good 5-7 min drive from the fwy(depending on how you drive). It was a little on the pricey side for lunch but worth the experience. Upon arriving, with no reservations on a Wednesday afternoon, we were promptly seated and given the menus. We chose a lunch and a steak plate. It was alright. The fries were a little over seasoned aka too salty. Requested a hot sauce and they mentioned that they do not have it, but they offered some kind of chipotle ranch which turned out to be $3++ for that sauce. Could have mentioned it prior. It was all good. The place is clean, cozy with a full bar available. Parking is ample.

    BRUSSEL SPROUTS (DELICIOUS)
    Sandra D.

    Visited Brunks during their first week (soft opening/limited menu) and we were thoroughly impressed. Everything ran so smoothly during the soft opening, we thought they had been open longer. We ordered the filet mignon, flat iron, Cesar salad, Brussel sprouts and Zinfandel wine. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the brussel sprouts were also amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't do dessert because they only had an ice cream dessert (we are NOT ice cream people). Our server assured us the full menu will definitely have some options. The only (and I mean ONLY drawback were the short barstools for the high bar top). We met Nicole Brunk (one of the owners) and she said they were working on getting the taller barstools :) Overall, the food was AMAZING, the servers were all excellent and the owner was incredibly nice and helpful. We can't wait to come back when they have the full menu available.

    Robert preps everything! He's the best at getting things done so the chefs can make their magic for YOU!

    It was a lunchtime before Christmas!! Had to get my burger fix! Food, drinks, service and atmosphere!!! No stress! I even got a Gift Card!!! The Best gift ever!!

    Medallions. Pure gold.

    In honor of Brunk's, I will take the day off on the anniversary of their Grand Opening. SERIOUSLY good steaks!! And customer service. Mrs. Yelper and I planned to stop by for just for a drink and appetizers at the bar. We were partially successful--we sat at the bar..,but due to peer pressure from Ryan, we "split" (translated: I ate it all) a stunningly beautiful Porterhouse. All is right with the world. We will be back.

The Gentleman took my order with fast and efficient active listening skills and gave me great confidence he was going to prepare my sandwich well with his high quality Professional Poise and focus! He also genuinely complimented me on my Coffee earrings and chatted with me along with his Teammate, a warm and intelligent Italian Barbie, about the new Phil's Coffeeshop Neighbor in their corner of the Business Park and all the yummy drinks I should try there and their fantastic Value deals in comparison to Starbucks at Vons.
