Had to leave $0 tip because of astonishingly terrible service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not busy at all, and my friends and I came to watch love island. They messed up the audio and video for 15+ minutes in the beginning with the audio so loud that it was hurting our ears, and consistently messed up the audio throughout so that it was completely unwatchable and ruined the season 8 debut for us and we had to leave early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Onto our order, waited over 30 minutes for 3 appetizers, and our 2 mocktail drinks never came despite us asking multiple servers multiple times. When we canceled our drinks, our server gave us a face and attitude. All servers were extremely unfriendly and never smiled at us once. They never checked in on us, were dismissive of complaints, took 3 asks just to even get some water. The fries on the menu said they'd come with house made green chile ketchup, nope just plain fries. They were good but nothing like described in the menu. The taquitos were okay. The Mac n cheese was pretty delicious and the saving grace of the entire experience. Overall, would never come here again. I'd rather watch love island on an iPhone 3 in a porta potty. Something seriously needs to change with management because you can not be THAT disorganized with 8 servers and only 5 tables of people.

This place was fantastic. Came here for their Rhythm and Bingo night and it was honestly a blast. The service was amazing and the mac and cheese was delicious. The staff is honestly so friendly and this place overall is just a great vibe.

Came here for Saturday brunch and had a good time mainly because of the service, drinks, and vibe. Shoutout to our waitresses Raquel and Lily -- absolutely amazing. Super friendly, attentive, and always checking on us. Top-tier service. The band was great, and the atmosphere was fun and lively. The drinks were a highlight -- we ordered the BeatBox fishbowls and they were delicious..... We skipped bottomless mimosas to try something different, but they do offer them for $30, which is a steal and worth recommending for brunch. Regarding the food, we decided to skip the breakfast items--such as the French toast, breakfast platter, and breakfast burrito--based on mixed reviews and ordered the burger and fries instead. Unfortunately, we found the meal to be quite bland. It would benefit significantly from additional seasoning, such as seasoned salt. Additionally, I recommend using romaine lettuce instead of shredded lettuce, as it provides better flavor and a more appealing presentation. I'd come back for drinks, music, and service, but the food needs improvement. Overall, a fair 3-star experience.

Had an amazing time at the Saturday Brunch with Soto, we got there early and were greeted by Robert and were quickly seated and ready to order our food and drinks by Cassidy, she rocked it with the customer service and Robert did it with his great customer service skills and made sure everyone was taken care of. Thanks for a great time and service!

Best place ever! I went yesterday with the OCAC group! Yesterday and I had a great time! The service was amazing, the servers were nice and professional and got the orders right, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the seats were super comfortable and the area was spacious and inside was super clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] owner was super chill. I would definitely recommend this place if yall wanna catch vibes and chill here 10/10

We went to Chako's Social for my friend's birthday, and honestly, the vibe when we first walked in was the only good part of the night. The music was popping and people looked like they were having fun, so we thought we were in for a good time. We were wrong. The place was stuffy and uncomfortable, but we tried to ignore it. Then it took forever -- and I mean forever -- for our waitress to even come take our order. After that, it was another long wait just to get our drinks. It was so slow that I actually had to get up and go to the bar myself to order drinks. At the bar, the bartender makes our drinks, rings me up on the kiosk, and asks if I want to leave a tip. I hit NO because I tipped her cash. Simple, right? Apparently not. The next day I looked at my receipt and realized they added gratuity without my authorization. So not only did I leave a cash tip, but they also snuck in an automatic gratuity after asking me if I wanted to tip on the kiosk. Make it make sense. What kind of establishment double-charges tips like that?? Completely unacceptable and honestly shady. If you go here, check EVERY line of your receipt. And let's talk about the food... $35 for what they called a "buffet," but it was basically a sad plate of salad and cold French toast. That's not a buffet -- that's disrespectful. The food was just bad, period. The ONLY redeeming part of the night was the DJ, who actually knew what she was doing and kept the energy fun. But music alone isn't enough to make up for awful service, sneaky charges, and terrible food. Would I ever come back? Absolutely not. One of the most disappointing "birthday dinners" we've had in a long time.

On February 15, 2026, one day after Valentine's Day, I attended Chakos nightclub accompanied by my mother and brother. While inside the establishment, I was suddenly struck on the side of my face by an unknown individual without warning or provocation. I did not see the attacker, as the assault occurred unexpectedly from outside my field of vision. The force of the impact caused me to fall to the ground in a state of confusion. Rather than checking on my condition, ensuring my safety, or attempting to identify or detain the individual responsible, a bouncer approached me and immediately instructed me to leave the premises. At no point did staff ask whether I was injured, request my statement, or attempt to locate the assailant. The actions of Chakos staff demonstrate a failure to provide reasonable security and care for patrons. Instead of responding appropriately to an assault occurring inside their venue, staff removed the victim while allowing the responsible individual to remain unidentified. Since the incident, I have attempted to obtain the establishment's insurance information to pursue proper claims related to the injuries and damages suffered. Chakos has failed to provide this information or take accountability. On April 22, 2026, I spoke with an employee named Carlos to follow up regarding the incident and insurance details. Carlos stated that he did not have internet access and suggested I speak with a manager but failed to provide any further direction or assistance. This interaction reflected the same pattern of negligence and lack of responsibility demonstrated on the night of the assault. Based on these events, I believe Chakos failed in its duty to maintain a safe environment for patrons and failed to properly respond after a violent incident occurred on its premises.

Chakos is located in downtown Fullerton on the corner of Harbor. I recommend checking out their social media as they have quite a bit of special events and happy hour deals. I saw a promo for ladies Rnb brunch so made a reservation for my girlfriends and me. It was $10 per person for the reservation and easy to do on the website. We had reservations at 11:30am this past Sunday and the vibes were perfect. Aesthetically they had a cute sign photo opp at entry and the tvs had a pink rnb ladies brunch decal. It set the vibe. Our server was Mia and she was so attentive and sweet! We did bottomless mimosas($25) which they do a 90 minute time limit which makes sense and we decided to do the breakfast buffet which was $20 per person. Mia made sure to keep the bottomless flowing and the buffet was delicious. The dj's for ladies rnb brunch were fantastic. Dj p nasty was a whole vibe and I was singing the whole time. The dj after her got us on the dance floor and it was a good time for sure. I also ordered espresso martinis which were delicious here along with the nachos. This was a great time for brunch and will definitely be back sooner than later!

Ashley R.

usually love coming to Chako's on Wednesdays -- the vibe is always great and I always have a good time! However, I decided to stop by on a Saturday around 1:15 AM just to check out the weekend crowd. I knew they closed at 2 AM, so I figured I'd have a few minutes to dance. To my surprise, they were charging $20 per person, which felt a bit steep given how close it was to closing. Still, I paid for myself and my friend ($40 total). But by 1:40 AM, the lights were already turned on and staff started kicking people out early. That was disappointing -- especially since we barely got 20 minutes inside and they didn't stay true to their 2 AM closing time. I've never had this issue on a Wednesday, but when I finally paid to come on a Saturday, the experience just didn't match the cost.

Jacqueline A.

We attended the Saturday brunch to see the band Soto. It was our 1st time there. We arrived at 11am. Robert greeted us with a warm welcome and informed us someone will seat your shortly. Within 10- 15 mins, I believe the manager/owner seated us at a table. Cassidy was our waitress and was very attentive. Robert also kept checking in and see if we needed anything. I was impressed with customer service this place had to offer. And can't forget about Soto & Rosie Cortez were great. Drinks were great. We had good appetizers. We will be coming back. Thanks again to Robert & Cassidy

The food is amazing, and drinks even better!!! Highly recommend the potato skins, taco tuesday, The Paloma drink, raspberry Long Island, and the raspberry basil blossom cocktail. The staff are so nice, and bartenders make great drinks! They have incredible specials , Monday - Flatbread Pizza $5, Tuesday - Tacos $10, Wednesday - Seoul wings $5, Thursday - Smash burger $5 - Sunday - Brunch (check out the specials on their website). Wall to wall screens for sporting events. This is my new favorite hang to watch the games :) Happy hour is M-F 4pm-7pm 1/2 off appetizers and cocktail / wine specials. I have a few more menu items to try lol...and definitely more drinks to try as well :) Abraham makes a great Paloma...have him make you one or 5 lol ;) read more

A group of my football mom besties went in on a Sunday for brunch. The Ladies R&B brunch was fan-frigging-tastic. The food was delicious, service was incredible and the vibe was outstanding! Our server was Maddy. She was just lovely. Sweet, quick, attentive. A great time was had and memories were made. The DJ's were on fire. Food, drinking, vibes, music and friends.

We stepped in on a Thursday evening and were not sure what to expect. The decor screams "identity crisis", yet this sports fanatic caved when I saw the massive wall-to-wall TVs. We ordered the Lollipop Flight (yum) and were excited to see Brewery X seltzers on tap, so we got the Succulent Sipper as well. The appetizers were all delicious, but we especially loved the potato skins. The honey lime wings were out of this world! Prices were beyond reasonable for a prime location in DTF, and our server was pleasant and attentive. I hope Chako's succeeds because we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Best place to watch your favorite team on giant screens! read more

I believe the place just opened mid October. Pros - Free entry - Good location with lots of parking nearby - Cheap food and drink prices - Fri & Sat... show: belly dancing, singing, burlesque, etc. The girls did a great job! - Jambalaya was good but SPICY! - Big place with lots of tables and chairs, booth seating - DJ and good party lightning - Lots of TVs. There are huge ones that are great for watching sports. Going to try the Sunday bottomless mimosas. Cons - Only one so far... it's new so not packed Lots of potential! Check it out. read more

Showed up for their Friday night comedy show (which we paid for ahead of time), the place was dead so we got seated right away, almost every seat was empty and she seated us behind a pillar that would block the "stage" area, I asked to be seated in a better spot and she walked us over to a different table, then we sat for 20 mins before our server came around, we order a draft beer and a cocktail, waited for 25 minutes still no drinks and walked out to get a beer somewhere else. Part of what took our server so long was the couple next to us would order something from the menu then the server would disappear, then come back and say "we don't have that". This happened like 4 or 5 times, and each time she disappeared she was gone for a few minutes. The show was supposed to start at 7, we left at 7:35 and they were still setting up. This place might have great food and great drinks and great shows, but I wouldn't know. They are clearly still figuring out how to run the place. Good luck! read more

I had originally went to hang out with some friends there and everything was fine until they were closing, and I was shrinking my beer in the patio area like a security guard had told me to stay within the premises, which I understood, as I was drinking my beer three other security guards came up to me and told me that I cannot drink my beer in the powder area and I had to explained to them that their other security guard had told me that I could drink it here however they said that he was new. I told him that I understand so I went inside and sit down one of their so fuss and they told me that I cannot just sit there and enjoy my beer that I have to chug it down. I told him that I was gonna enjoy the beer that had paid for and there was more than 20 people still in the club however they did not care and I started recording and once I started recording one of the security guards stop my recording and through my phone towards the dance floor and broke my screen. Once that happened more than five to kindergarten took me out and I asked for my phone and they threw my phone outside across the spot. Beware of this place, they don't care how much you spend they will treat you like shit. read more

As I write this review. I will start out with saying that I just don't believe that this place has wonderful potential and the atmosphere seemed great. I just don't believe they were staffed properly to deal with an influx of parties on Valentine's weekend. Our reservations were at 1:30, which we promptly arrived only to be greeted with an hour wait time and no time frame as to when we would be seated. The staff seemed to be inexperienced to deal with the matter and parties were taken out of order or they were over booked. To charge $10 per person for brunch and to never be seated was insane!!! The manager Curtis was very apologetic but for women that drove 30 minutes and were very hungry. Apologies don't do much. We were able to get drinks at the bar which my friends loved. I may give this place a try again. Maybe not on a weekend that is not so busy. Hopefully they don't over book again or get their wait staff more trained. read more

Everyone was rude I honestly can't believe how bad the service was. We were nice at first but had to say something to the manager but he didn't care and said to text him but he never refunded us or replied. Also the restrooms were nasty, no soap and it was dirty.

My husband and I came here as a last resort because I was hungry and really wanted dessert. I am so glad we ended up in this place. I ordered the churros with ice cream and it was so delicious. The presentation was so beautiful, I almost didn't want to eat my ice cream because I didn't want to mess it up. I wish I would've gotten the bartender's name because he was so nice. He made me a few drinks and they were all delicious. He took the time to ask me what I wanted in a drink a boy did he deliver! I know this place had a bad rap from when it was JP23 but it's under new ownership and just walking into this new bar, Chakos, you can tell the difference. If you guys are in the mood for good food, drinks, music and live games... I have no doubt that you should come check this place out. You won't regret it. read more

Stopped in to catch the MNF game as some of our family are diehard Lions fans for many years now. Absolutely great place to catch a PPV fight or game, March Madness is going to be fun here with multiple screens on different channels. Now I will bend a little giving that our visit was on a Monday BUT with all those screens staff should be ready for MNF. Our host although nice didn't know much about the simple menu and since he was apparently the only one on the floor wait times for refills and order placements were a bit too long for our liking. Food was actually pretty good minus the rock hard fries. They were out of a few taps so after a few bottled beers we opted for soda. Tables were pretty sticky as we tried out three different seating areas and all were the same. There might've been a total of 15 guests throughout out our visit again it was a Monday so that makes sense. All ages welcome I believe until a certain time but the two teen boys in our group really enjoyed Chakos. Parking is easy as there are a few structures close by and some street parking, it's in the heart of downtown Fullerton. read more

So I came here for the first time last Wednesday because I heard they had a fire karaoke show and as a KJ/DJ I love going to other shows. Granted once they got started the band and host were amazing. The vibe was dope. But like I said once they got started. It's advertised to be there before 8 to avoid the $10 cover charge, so we got there right before 8. It was pretty empty which was cool because the seating options were open and we could get a head start on the turn up. Our servers were great especially Sol no complaints there. They had wings for $1 so that was a plus. We asked what time karaoke would be starting they said around 9. Ok cool that's great we can drink and be merry by the time we get started. Well 9 was actually more like 1030 and by then I was sober even my 100mg St Ides tea had worn off. I was tired and ready to go lol so we only sang one song and left. Another disappointment was when we got our bill which we ordered 20 wings and 3 drinks there was an added "hospitality fee" of $15. Made me not wanna tip even though our server was phenomenal. That makes me not wanna go back or if I do I'll be ordering my drinks at the bar and won't be eating there. But I would like to try the karaoke again maybe they don't always start that late. read more

Came today for the brunch. They did not have the buffett, but they did accommodate with a delicious breakfast plate. I have food restrictions and our server, Riley, made sure I was able to eat the breakfast that was offered. The bottomless mimosas were $25 per person, and Riley really made sure the bottles kept coming. When we finished a bottle, another was already there. We had a great time. Music was great, a little loud but we had a pleasant time. Perfect spot for a Saturday brunch! Very delicious food, fast service, and great vibes. Will be back again next weekend read more

Luke I appreciate your response. I lived in DTF for many years. I personally witnessed women being carried out by men right passed the bouncers. You can tell that people were on some drugs. Four days later my friend and I went in to eat because they had a GREAT brisket baked potato. The owner was on shift that day and I explained to him what I witnessed and that we left because it was uncomfortable. He laughed and said "yes it gets crazy" then proceeded to show us multiple videos he had saved of women not in their right mind all over multiple men on the dance floor. I am not sure why this young lady would retract her story but based off the way the owner was showing off raunchy videos was disturbing. And the fact the original owner needed a family member to put the license under is also suspect. I know and you all know there is some shady things going on there because I witnessed them personally. read more

Went for the R&B event on 6/9 and had THE best time! We were a group of 3 girls and got there early so we decided to sit at the far end of the bar. Both bartenders who helped us were so friendly and fun. I didn't catch the name of the first bartender that helped us but the second bartender, Abraham, was the best! He made our first experience here memorable. His drinks were great, good vibes, refilled our pitcher of water often. The food was ok, we got chilaquiles. The music was fun but the dj could have been more organized to start at noon like advertised. Even with the hiccups, we had a blast thanks to Abraham :) read more

History

Established in 2023.

Chako's Social is housed in one of Downtown Fullerton's historic gems, a building that dates back to the 1920s. As one of the earliest structures in the district, this building has stood as a silent witness to nearly a century of the city's evolution. Originally constructed during a time of growth and optimism, it has seen Fullerton transform from a small town into a bustling hub. While the building retains its classic 1920s charm, it has been thoughtfully modernized to create a space that honors its rich history while offering all the amenities of a contemporary venue. The recent revamp has breathed new life into the old structure, blending its vintage architecture with sleek, modern design elements. The space reflects both the heritage and the vibrant future of Downtown Fullerton.

But now I don't live near fullerton so I thought I would check it out the next time I was close by. I finally got around to it on a weekend afternoon and immediately I loved the vibe. They do a great job placing you in a comfortable spot with the nostalgic furniture, the sports memorabilia, the local news article clippings. The bartender met me w a greeting as I walked in and quickly I found out he would be the host, waiter, bartender, and busser. I never had an empty glass of beer because he never allowed me to have one, the food came out piping hot, and it was easy to pay the check right away and all done by the same guy! So besides the nice vibe and great service they had some very good bbq and side dishes. The chicken and the pork ribs were solid choices. Both moist and tender and glazed with a really nice bbq sauce. I will definitely be here again when I am in the area again.

Brian's is a good friendly neighborhood sports bar. They have specials most days of the week. I've…read moreeaten twice her very recently, so it's time for an update. The first time, I came for the Monday night burger and beer special for $10.95 after 4pm. The burger was very good with a nice sized patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles on a wheat bun. The beer pour isn't just a glass, it's larger-sized schooner. Specialty beers on tap are an extra $2. The burger doesn't come with a side, but a tasty burger and a large beer for under $11 is a great deal. The following week, I came back for the Tuesday night BBQ special. Their BBQ chicken and ribs dinners are 30% off, and come with two sides and a fresh dinner roll. I got the full slab of ribs which was only $21 after discount. They definitely do not skimp on the ribs, as the plate came with two large half slabs stacked on top of each other. The ribs were cooked well, and the BBQ sauce had a good mix of tang and sweetness. I had coleslaw and fries for my sides. The other options for sides are Beckett's beans, potato salad, macaroni salad, and pasta salad. A half slab and the fries filled me up, and I took the other half and the coleslaw home. This is also a great deal for only $21. Other special days include Wednesday $3.50 schooner night from 5pm to 7pm, Friday night $10.95 fish taco plate, and Saturday and Sunday breakfast specials from 10am to noon. They have a pool table, darts, and many TVs with various sports playing. Service was timely and friendly.

They have a good selection of American food, and I ordered chicken risotto ($24) from the "favorites" section of the menu. Portion sizes here are good, and we were very full after dinner. Service here was basic, and we got everything we needed. Friday night is also a peak time at Downtown Fullerton, so it was hard to find parking spot. However, the ambience here was relaxed. While the chicken risotto was pricy, I enjoyed the mixed flavors and large portion size. The flavor came from the caper-parmesan beurre blanc sauce. It's a slightly creamy butter sauce with mild sweetness and added flavor from white wine. The capers added a very welcome tangy and savory seasoning to the sauce; they're one of my favorite garnishes. The flavors from the breaded chicken and risotto weren't too strong.

(Note: I have been here many times over several years and have never had any issues. The staff has always been polite, friendly and respectful, food and service always good, like outside of this incident I'd rate it 4-stars). I went to enjoy the England vs. Argentina game today, as I had with previous World Cup games, and something was very very wrong. Immediately at entering I was greeted by new aggressive security people (there were many) that told me "if you can't find a seat you will be kicked out". Very unusual as last two times I was there it was literally everyone standing up and cheering everywhere while buying drinks and ordering food; this time it was half empty and quiet, as if the mood was shut down. Some people standing in what I'll assume are "safe" area's, most sitting. The place is small so there's not a lot of seating, and there were no seats visibly available. I told security I was waiting for my wife to enter and wanted to order something and stood by the bar (near the door), they didn't say anything while I stood there so figured I was fine. Within 1 minute from that moment I was grabbed (GRABBED) by the arm and was told I had to leave and couldn't come back . I went to the back patio with my wife because she arrived the moment I got kicked out - same thing back there. There was a woman security person eyeing everyone and telling them to go to Roscoe's instead, I asked her why she was telling people that when the place wasn't even that busy (compared to last time) and she said oh this is a day job but I actually work for Roscoe's; This sudden presence of intense security was so confronting and obviously making patrons uncomfortable, the place was quiet and many people were leaving. Incredible job Ye old ship management, there's nothing like changing the atmosphere for the worst and pissing off your customers simultaneously. You're a British Pub for crying out loud! No idea how things are going now as I'm elsewhere (not Roscoe's). Avoid this place (at least today), chances are you won't be staying anyway. *Management, want me to change this review? I'd be happy to.. reach out to me - I'd love an apology for this nonsense today and to know that you're going to do better next time. **as a few people mentioned this sounds like fire code issues and they probably got in trouble.. understandable, I get it, but still not ok to treat customers poorly. If security is going to be that interactive with customers you need to hire individuals with better communications and people skills. ***photos added are from previous times attending (before security) and as mentioned, there was never any issues at the old ship before and the staff was always polite and friendly. Take this post for what it is, my observation and experience as a patron - don't be a wanker.

I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the strangest I've had. It tasted like the orange had been muddled into the drink, and the sugar was sitting undissolved at the bottom of the glass. For such a classic and simple cocktail, I expected it to be made much better. The calamari was just okay. Some pieces were soggy, as if they hadn't been cooked long enough, while others were a bit chewy. The pasta also didn't seem to be made in-house. At nearly $40 for an entrée, it felt overpriced, especially when there are several nearby restaurants that make their pasta from scratch for a similar or lower price. Our waitress did her best despite seeming overwhelmed and having some difficulty with the portable POS system. She remained polite and attentive, so I don't fault her for the experience. Overall, this wasn't the quality we remembered, and unfortunately, we won't be returning.

My boyfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful date night at Chako's Social Restaurant in Fullerton! What made our experience truly stand out was the incredible service from the cook himself. Not only was the staff friendly and attentive, but the chef personally delivered our food to us, which was such a unique and thoughtful touch. It really showed how much they care about their guests and the quality of their dishes. The chef's name was Michael Dee. He was very kind, and the food he made was really delicious. Speaking of food--everything we ordered was fantastic! We started with the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. My Bacon Jalapeño Smash Burger was delicious--the patty was juicy, the bacon was crispy, and the jalapeños made the burger spicy, but not too spicy. My boyfriend ordered the Pepperoni Flatbread, and she loved how the crust was crispy yet light, topped with deliciously melty cheese and perfectly cooked pepperoni. More importantly, my boyfriend had an amazing time, which made the evening even more special. We both agreed that this is now one of our favorite date night spots, and we can't wait to come back for another fantastic meal and experience! read more

I recently celebrated my birthday at chako restaurant and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Stephanie. From the moment we were seated, Stephanie made the evening truly unforgettable with her exceptional customer service. Stephanie greeted us with the warmest smile and immediately made us feel at home. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. What really stood out was her genuine enthusiasm and the personal touch she added to the experience. She took the time to ask about any special dietary needs and made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. When she found out it was my birthday, she went above and beyond to make it special. Not only did she bring out a complimentary dessert with a candle, but she also gathered a few other staff members to sing a heartfelt "Happy Birthday." It was such a delightful surprise and made me feel truly celebrated. Stephanie's attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and genuine care for her guests are truly commendable. She made my birthday dinner a memorable and joyous occasion. If you're dining at chako restaurant,I highly recommend asking for Stephanie. She'll make your experience just as amazing as mine! read more

From the moment you walk in, this club sets the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between energetic and comfortable -- with great lighting, music that keeps you moving, and just the right crowd. Whether you're here to dance, catch up with friends, or just enjoy the vibe, there's something for everyone. The drinks are top-tier. Thoughtfully crafted cocktails, a solid selection of spirits, bartenders who know their drinks and are friendly and fast. One of the standout things about this place is how safe and welcoming it feels. The staff is attentive, and the security is present without being overbearing. It's clear that creating an inclusive and respectful environment is a priority here. Everyone -- regardless of background, orientation, or style -- is welcome and made to feel that way. Overall, this club nails it: great drinks, great music, and a truly welcoming vibe. It's become my go-to spot for a night out, and I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

If you're looking for a fun midweek spot, Chakos is the place to be especially on Wednesday nights for karaoke. The vibe is super welcoming, and the crowd is always a mix of regulars and newcomers who just want to have a good time. The real highlight is the live band karaoke hosted by Eric Tucker. He brings so much energy and keeps the night flowing with a great mix of songs, fun banter, and just the right amount of encouragement to get even the shy singers up on stage. You can tell he genuinely wants everyone to have a good experience. On top of that, the drinks are solid and the staff is friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place where you can either come with a group or roll solo and still feel included in the fun. Definitely check them out! read more

Went here randomly, tried the bbq brisket sliders, they were so good, I can tell the sauce wasn't just out a bottle, the chef for sure touches it up with more seasoning, we also had the nachos and they were good too, although I wish there was more shrimp, I think my friends got it all before I can eat much of it. The service was great too, Abby helped us, and was very attentive. It was also nice that the chef came out to introduce himself and make sure our food was all good, it's not often chefs do that so it was refreshing, and a sign of good management (hi Mike) I wish the music and event noise was a little lower so we could hear each other, but that's not a big deal. Overall I'm excited to come back and try more food. read more

I attended the Galentine's Paint and Sip at Chako's Social in DTF last weekend and let me just say it was one of the BEST paint and sip events I've been to! The vibe was fun, the energy was high, and for the price, it was absolutely worth it. The last paint and sip I attended was $75, and it didn't even come close to the experience I had here. Juanita, the instructor, was amazing, super kind, patient, and so helpful, even though I arrived late. She made sure I caught up and felt comfortable throughout the process. If you're looking for a fun night out without breaking the bank, this is the place to be! I'm already keeping an eye out for their next event because I'm definitely coming back. read more

Honestly, this place is a vibe. The music hits just right, the crowd's always fun, and the energy is next level. But what really makes it stand out? The bartenders -- hands down the best around. They're super fast, know exactly what they're doing, and can make you something amazing even if you have no idea what you want. Plus, they're chill and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they actually love what they do. If you're looking for a fun night out, this is definitely the spot. Great drinks, good people, and an all-around awesome time. read more

We did live band karaoke here and had so much fun! The band is super interactive and keeps the energy high all night. I took my girlfriend for her birthday, and they made her feel so special -- sang to her, gave her a birthday shot, and just showered her with love. Every time I've gone, the vibes have been perfect. The band is always on point, and the lead singer, Eric, is such a sweetheart -- always smiling, spreading good energy, and connecting with the crowd. It's an experience everyone should have at least once. Seriously, go -- you won't regret it! read more

This spot is hands-down one of the best karaoke experiences around! The energy is always on point, and that's thanks to Eric Tucker. Not only does he put everything together seamlessly, but he's also an incredible singer himself--his talent sets the tone for the whole night. The crowd feeds off the vibe, the sound system is solid, and the whole atmosphere is welcoming whether you're a first-timer or a regular. If you're looking for a place where karaoke feels like a real show, this is it. Eric makes it unforgettable every time! read more

Chako's Social is an absolute gem in Downtown Fullerton! I came here for a social event with the Orange County Anime Club and had an amazing time. The food was delicious with everything coming out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel effortless. It's a great place to just hang if you feel like going out and having fun. Honestly one of the best nights I've had out in a while, and I will definitely be going back! read more

Had an amazing time at Chako's! The ambiance was top-tier--perfect lighting, great decor, and the music set the vibe just right. My friends and I felt so welcomed by the staff, but Olivia truly made our night unforgettable! She was absolutely gorgeous and gave us the best service we could ask for. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a place with great energy, great people, and an all-around fantastic experience, this is it. Can't wait to come back! read more

I had the pleasure of going to Chako's this Friday and had such a great first experience. The drinks were amazing especially at a good price and almost at every hour they were giving specials on the drinks or the shots. I did accidentally spill my drink and the staff was so cool about it, specifically Stephen helped clean up the spill and even refilled my drink which was so thoughtful. I would definitely recommend going here for their nightclub hours. read more

I go to Chako's often, and it's always a blast! The atmosphere is lively with great music and a fun crowd. My friends and I always have the best night when we go. There is a fun dance floor and many places to sit which is very convenient. Drinks are reasonably priced and well made. The staff is friendly and quick, ensuring top-notch service every time. For a fun and affordable night out, Chako's is the place to be! Highly recommended! read more

I was here visiting from out of town and was taken here to eat with family and had Dominique as my waitress and she had the best customer service! She made constant rounds on our table to check on us and made sure everything was brought out in a timely manner! She was amazing and I'm grateful to have had a good experience visiting!! Would definitely come back and recommend! read more

I recently visited Chakos in DTF. The ambiance and food was good, but the service was second to none!!! Abraham our bartender was amazing! He was very personable & treated us with the utmost respect and kindness. To be honest, he was on top of it all. He went above and beyond with his exceptional service. We hope to visit again soon and rely on his service. Thank you! read more
