Taylor was a great hostess. Service with a smile! The outdoor seating was nice and the food was great.

We love going to Mutts. Everyone is so friendly and Taylor always greets us with a great smile when we come in. We love the variety of foods so every time we it we have something different. read more

I was looking at some of the reviews and just had to write this. Mutts Eastbluff is a great neighborhood family n dog friendly spot. I was introduced to Mutts Eastbluff about four years ago. It immediately became my go-to place. The food is great, the drinks are top shelf and the guess are (for the most part) like family. But the main reason I continue to go back is because of the amazing wonderful staff. They continually and constantly show up. I have watched them grow as a team, and have become friends with many of them. I have brought family and friends in and they ALL love it. Last year I had friends visiting from out of town and were went in three days straight. I will always recommend Muuts Eastbluff as 'the place to go'...!!! read more

Had a very jarring experience here on Thursday 5/21 as me my work friends typically hang out here for happy hour. It thought it was great establishment up until yesterday when an old man's dog took a poop in the middle of the restaurant! Not only did he not pick it up (wow the entitlement!) but the lack of urgency from the staff was very unusual. It took about 10min for them to action and clean up. We were baffled by the reaction to a giant dog poo in a middle of a restaurant. Like really?? This was the utmost grossest nastiest traumatizing experience ever at a restaurant. I think the entire restaurant team needs training. read more

Had a birthday brunch for sis in law. Everyone loved it! Food was great, service was spot on. We got the booth in the back right corner of the patio, very comfortable and great ambiance. read more

They did not add black beans in my burrito, customer service was lacking and waiter did not give the option of refunding that order instead brings me a side of beans which was disappointing. Brings me 2 go boxes when I didn't ask for it. And I ordered two kids meal which were good. read more

Food - large portions. Decent not culinary creative. Pub food. Service - unorganized. Seated in the bar area for quick lunch, server had to correct me rather disagree about what was available - I tried to inform 3 months ago I had this at Mutts - I was fearful she'd spit in my food. Weird odd. Not friendly!!!! read more

Would've got several more stars if not for pitifully slow service. It wasn't even remotely busy when we went, so makes no sense. Seat yourself, but full service thereafter. I ended up walking up to the bar and placing my own order after twiddling my thumbs for 15 minutes with nobody coming by after initially dropping off menus at our table. Indoor and outdoor seating (mostly covered). Super casual atmosphere. Food was good and decently sized portions. They were out of the noodles for mac, though, which was enough to make my picky toddler reject the penne replacement.

BBQ burger was also good. read more

First time at Mutts and won't be the last! We chose this restaurant, since it was pup friendly. Our server Olivia was great, she was patient while we were looking over the menu, and asked if we wanted to order a puppy patty (medium rare beef patty) for our Kiki. We each ordered something different and it was all tasty. The garlic parm fries were well seasoned, everyone's order came out fairly quickly. The covered patio seating was nice. We'll be back again, next time we're in the area. read more

Good food and smooth service. Taylor, the hostess, was especially accommodating. Would definitely come back.

Our family loves Mutts. Great vibe, great staff, amazing bartenders, friendly hosts, and delicious food. We visit at least once a month. Jaedyn always greets us with a smile when seating us and handles the stress of aggressive guests. Have you tried the Chicken Frisco sandwich? It's my guilty pleasure. Makena, Garret, Devon and Zac are the best Always make my drink to perfection and I'm super picky with my margaritas. Don't let the bad reviews sway you from this place. It's likely angry customers who've been asked to leave because their dogs won't stop barking or are aggressive with people or other sweet dogs. Check it out for yourself and you'll find out it's a five star family friendly restaurant. read more

This could be a cool spot. I think it's best for locals. We came for an out of area get together. Drinks are good. Food is sub par. Pizza made me sick. And the seat was wet from the rain. Pants were wet and cold. Since I'm not a local I probably won't be there again. But hey different strokes for different folks. Just surprised in this Newport area the food was so bad. read more

Mutts is awesome, the bartenders and servers are always super friendly and very prompt with the food and drinks. The food is delicious (I recommend the quesadilla or the California dreamin burger). They have a large selection of beer and hard alcohol and always have seasonal cocktails which are delicious. The managers are always walking around making sure everyone is doing okay and creating conversations with the customers, and they always have live sports on which is nice. read more

We've been here several times for dinner and it's always a great experience. Service is friendly and attentive. The food is consistently delicious. It's very family and dog friendly. Highly recommend! read more

A fun little pet friendly bar/restaurant! Our server was very attentive to us! We shared the Caesar salad with blackened chicken, which was amazing! we also got a Joe Dirt pizza, which was pretty good, a tad bit salty! We enjoyed watching the Lakers game and having some good food and drinks! Their cheesecake however was not good. read more

Great ambiance, service, and cleanly environment. Our server was the absolute best and the sweetest, Madeline. We came a little late but she still welcomed us with a smile. The food is amazing, great portions, and worth the buck. They also do Trivia nights on Tuesdays which is always a crowd pleaser. read more

We love Mutts and have been coming here for a while since we live by the Back Bay. But this last visit? A little... sus. We ordered rosemary fries, paid extra for them, and were excited to dig in--only to find that they had exactly zero rosemary. Just plain ol' salted fries, dressed up in lies. When we asked the waitress about it, she confidently told us, "It's in the potato." ...Ma'am. What does that even mean? Is the potato spiritually infused with rosemary? Was it near some rosemary at some point in its life? Because it sure wasn't on the fries. Oh, and the entire place smelled like detergent. Like, aggressively so. Are y'all power-washing the walls between orders? We love the food and the location, but come on, Mutts--season the fries and maybe dial back the industrial cleaning vibes. We believe in you! read more

Mutt's Eastbluff - Not rosemary fries, boo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Mutts Newport Beach - Where the Fries Play Hide and Seek with Flavor Walking into Mutts, the first thing that hits you isn't the welcoming aroma of delicious food--it's the wall of industrial-strength cleaning detergent. You know the one. That "we just power-washed the crime scene" kind of scent. But hey, maybe that's just their way of making sure you know they take cleanliness very seriously. On to the food. We ordered the rosemary and thyme fries--fancy name, fancy price, zero actual rosemary or thyme flavor. When we politely inquired where the advertised herbs were hiding, our waitress confidently assured us, "It's inside." Inside what? The fryer? The chef's imagination? Did the potato just briefly brush up against a sprig of rosemary before being hurled into the oil? We may never know. The soups, however, were surprisingly solid--warm, comforting, and actually tasted like what they were supposed to be. So, if you're in the mood for soup and the smell of an overzealous janitor's handiwork, Mutts is your spot. But if you're craving rosemary and thyme fries that actually taste like rosemary and thyme? Better luck elsewhere. read more

Love this place! Have been here a few times and had a great experience each time. We love bringing our dog and sitting on the patio. They brought her a water bowl with some ice cubes in it, which was so kind and thoughtful! Cece was our waitress today and she is awesome! Thanks Cece! My husband got their Maui Blonde beer (5/5 Stars) and Eastbluff Burrito (4/5 Stars) he said both were great. We shared their Parmesan Fries (4/5 Stars) they were tasty, Im gonna ask for extra Parmesan next time. I also got their Mucho Nachos and asked for -no chips -no beans and added beef for a low carb option (4.5/5 Stars), it was great too. Thank you Mutts!! read more

Nicole, our server, was amazing! Food was great, great music, and love the outdoor area

Totally messed up my online order. Forgot to add any of the extra ingredients I requested. No sauces were included and the burgers were cold. Very disappointing because normally the food is good but not today:( read more

The hamburgers are excellent and the eggs Benedict's not bad either. It's fun in there. The people are really nice and friendly. It's also dog friendly, which is very cool. My only disappointment is so many times I've ordered out my order. Every single time has not been to my standards, being that it wasn't how I asked it to be things were missing the burger was overcooked, etc. I think the management can be better. read more

Brunch with Jay at Mutts off East Bluff in Newport Beach. The food is amazing and the spot is like a high end Beach bar and its 100% pet friendly. Our server Nicole was awesome too. This is definitely the new go to!! Check it out you will not be upset!! read more

Cute spot with nice decor and plenty of room inside and outside. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with our large party. The food was good but with the location being a drive, I probably wouldn't return unless my family met there again. read more

My family and I had a wonderful lunch here. We had been in the space when it was a previous restaurant and they did a great job of changing it just enough to make it their own. Portions are generous, we enjoyed the appetizer sampler plate as well as our meals. Service was very friendly and upbeat, food was made to order quickly. Prices are fair, fun and casual lunch or dinner in the area! read more

Really solid spot for dinner. The food hit the mark--nothing too fancy, just well-done American comfort dishes with some nice touches. I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was super crispy without being greasy. Fries were great too, which always feels like a bonus. The vibe was relaxed and friendly. Service was on point--everyone seemed like they actually enjoyed being there. I think Tal was helping out while I was there? Not totally sure, but things moved smoothly and you could tell the place is run well. Would definitely swing by again, especially for an easy night out with good food and zero hassle. read more

I like Mutts and it is a good dog friendly and family friendly place...their food is pretty good for a sports bar type place! The sole reason I have 4 stars vs. 5 is that the receptionist is either a dude that is comatose or a girl that does not get it...guys, the receptionist is the first person that greets you and sets the tone for your whole experience...RESTAURANTS 101 read more

Even though this restaurant advertises itself as kid-friendly, it really isn't. We've visited several times and always sit out on the patio. Each time we've gone, it hasn't been busy. Because of that, we've let the kids color and play at the table next to us, and occasionally at the small table by the lower TV -- which honestly looks like it's meant for children. However, the manager always stands in the doorway, watching the kids, and the waitress repeatedly tells us that those tables are "about to be occupied," asking us to have the kids return to their seats. I would completely understand if the restaurant were crowded, if the kids were being disruptive, or if there were any safety concerns -- but that's never been the case. It really seems like the manager just doesn't like children. If our young kids are expected to sit quietly the entire time, we might as well go to a more upscale spot like Joey's or R+D. It's a shame, too, because our bills were usually around $1,000 or more each visit. We've since started going to Islands up the road, which is actually kid-friendly. read more

Cozy and welcoming ambiance. The patio has such nice lighting and lots of heat lamps. They also have excellent deals & specials. I recently came here for Wine Wednesday and Happy Hour and loved it! Great deals and great food/drinks. Wine is 1/2 off on Wednesdays and the late night happy hour is 1/2 off after 9PM. Marianne was our server - super friendly and attended to our every need! Louis brought out our food so quickly and everything was perfectly hot! The Mutts fries are especially tasty w/ great seasoning and such a great deal especially during happy hour! read more

First time here, recommended by my foodie friend, so we went together on a Monday night, 6:30 p.m. It was pretty busy! Our server said it was because of the basketball game. We wanted to sit in the patio, but the host said they only had indoor seats available. It was loud inside like a bar vibe, again, because of the game and the speakers being turned up for that. There were a lot of people, too, talking over the speakers, so it made it even louder, like you're raising your voice to talk to your friend and leaning in a lot to hear your friend. But, the pizza made up for it! OMG! I really liked the pizza and was not even expecting that! The server recommended a medium for two adults and one child. It was huge and hearty in a good way! The dough was thick but yummy! Everything tasted fresh. I loved how the crust was not burnt on the bottom. It was thick but super yummy. Thick like a soft bread type of dough. The veggie toppings were also not burnt and retained a nutritious value. I loved how the sausage was crumbled up and spread nicely over the cheese, overlaid on top of the nice soft dough. It was a great value. Service was great. She was very vice and refilled our water pitcher several times. There were only two servers at the time, which I'm sure was overwhelming for them. They should really hire more servers to accommodate all the patrons. Still, she did a great job! I would come back again in a heartbeat for that pizza and order a bigger size to take the leftovers home! I would also like to sit in that nice patio next time! read more

Lovely outdoor patio. Not crowded. Great service! We enjoyed our experience! Thank you!

Best breakfast potatoes in town! We chose this place because we were dog-sitting and we needed a place we "knew" would be dog-friendly. You sit outside with the dogs which is totally our preference especially when we get to sit at the bar to watch the game too. As a dietitian foodie, these breakfast potatoes are to die for! We split the denver omelet and that was good. Serving staff was so gracious. They maybe made one mistake but went over and beyond with bringing us every hot sauce they had when we asked for one. read more

MariAne was our waitress and she was AMAZING! She made me feel comfortable, she was so friendly and quick to point out the newly released Spring cocktail drinks.
