Came here for happy hour with friends. We got all four of the dishes on the happy hour menu. My favorite were #1 Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection. Then the #2 spot landed on the smashed burger then the #3 spot were the refinery fries with beer braised short ribs on them. The 4th and 5th landed on the fried chicken sando and the Fish & Chips. The place is a combination of a bar and seating area but no TV's to watch a game. It was pretty dead when we were dining and I hope it got better when dinner time came around because the food was good and so was the service as our waiter came by frequently to check on us and refill our drinks. They have plenty of street parking and a couple of blocks from them they have a parking structure. Come on by to socialize with your buddies and enjoy a time of good food and drinks.
We recently had a death in our family which led us to look for a restaurant away from the city. In doing some research we came to find that Newhall had a few new restaurants, based on the reviews and the pictures we traveled there to the Newhall Refinery. The street front seating and building architecture is very appealing and welcoming. As you enter the main doors, you are greeting by friendly staff. We were offered any open seating, we decided to take a table against the back wall that was adjacent to the entry. The decor inside is very rustic with a touch of micro brewery, the ceiling has many tap handles that adorn the ceiling. The menu and food, we were initially drawn into the Refinery since they seem to be the only spot that offered Brunch and Mimosas in the downtown street. Key point of clarification, the Mimosas are simi bottomless (you have 90 min) to pour down, some of us really like Mimosas, plus the price was just slightly higher that we typically expect at 27, per person. Were they good, yes, so we decided to go with one Mimosa and an Old Fashion drink, it was very well done, Buffalo Trace Bourbon. We ordered from the Brunch menu, the Steak and Eggs, cooked to your liking, they did a great job on both, the one item that we were less impressed with were the overcooked Oreda looking potatoes that accompanied the meals. We also ordered the Cacio e Pepe Beni, Prosciutto, perfect poached eggs and all of the other fixings, it was great testing and the presentation was amazing. As far as my overall rating I could not give it a 5 star due to what other customers have shared in their reviews, the wait staff is not timely, almost forced friendly and possibly just lacking some restaurant experience, they did not come around or notice things like empty water glasses and a few other things, could have been understaffed possibly on this day. Overall I would still recommend the Refinery due to the location, atmosphere, drinks and main dish prep. Thank you for providing a break from reality during a very trying time in our family.
Great food and great service. Came back here and tried the melt and French dip. Both were good. We were pleased to see the tvs also so we can watch games here. They are going to play the world cup which would be fun! Hubs had the Paloma and me the IPA both very tasty.
We dined at Newhall Refinery after church on Christmas Eve. This was our first visit, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well it all went, especially on an evening before a holiday when many places were closed. The food was well prepared overall. The highlight was the French Dip -- my husband found it all quite delicious. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Short Rib Ragu. My Pesto Pasta with Shrimp was very good -- I would have preferred a harder sear on the shrimp. Tammy was our wonderful server who took great care of us. Their Brunch Menu looks really good -- we may try that for our next visit!
I was really excited to check this place out with the awesome reviews I read. Although the space is cute, I went for lunch during the week and found it to be overrated. Food was ok I guess but certainly not for the price. Whoever said their short rib is amazing, I must disagree as I found out to have no flavor at all. As for service, as I mentioned, I went during the week for lunch and although there was only one table inside and just me outside, the server came by once and I had to go inside just to pay the bill.
I was in the SCV and wanted a fun outing with my girl. Old town Newhall is bustling with new energy and seems to be on its way back as the door to go. The atmosphere was casual with many patrons appearing to be on date night. The wine list was mostly from central coast and had some lovely choices. My girl had the steak frites and I had the name asked chopped salad with chicken. We both greatly enjoyed the music, conversation and our food choices. We ended with a special dessert of donuts and coffee ice cream and hot fudge.. just fantastic!!! If you're near by drop in for a drink, food or just say hi to the staff. The neighboring table liked what we were having and we had a lovely discourse about our dessert! Fun people watching too!
Out of towners here. We were invited by family for breakfast. Plenty of seating. Our server was nice and attentive with coffee and water refills. One flaw, all meals came out except for one. BLT breakfast sandwich. It was never put in, servers mistake. When it finally came to table it was not tasty. The eggs seemed rushed and tasted burnt/overcooked. Moco Loco was good, could've used a bit more gravy because the beef patty was dry. Brussels sprouts were outstanding! French toast was scrumptious. Bloody Mary's and Maria's were good.
Yelp never fails. Worth the drive off the 5 freeway! We came in for lunch on a weekday and will be back. My husband and I were happy with our meals especially when they came exactly as ordered plus or minus items. Our waitress made sure it came as ordered as well. The service was quick and the food was bountiful. We expected to take food home but pretty much cleaned our plates with how well it tasted. Don't let the drive off the freeway defer you if you are in the area. It's worth the couple minute detour - I promise.
Parking is available in the back but note it's tight especially for Big vehicles. Back entrance isn't as glamorous but at least we know where the restroom is. We got seated quickly since we got to the restaurant around 11:30am and ordered items off the menu. Did take awhile for items to be ordered and then was told they were out of French dip and short ribs. Well most of the folks ordered the burger instead. I had the melt and salad. We had the pretzels and I find it way salty than I expected. Came back home with a slight headache. The place is decked out like one of those speakeasy hole in a wall feel. Though I think they need more lighting to make it a bit lively. Overall the melt is delicious. Would prolly come back when the other items are available
I've had this on my list to try for a while now and didn't plan on coming by last night but we did! My bf and our friends were basically doing a bar hopping night and this was our last stop. Came by maybe an hour or an hour and a half before they closed and only planned on getting drinks but the pretzel was calling to us lol! Love a good pretzel, especially if salted well and with good dips! I really enjoyed the honey mustard and especially the Dijon! The Dijon had quite the kick but it was absolutely perfect with the pretzel and nice with the side of pickles. The boys enjoyed their drinks, I only got an iced water but we had a nice end of the night, chatting and good small bites. It was busy and there was also a large party next to our table. Although there was no host when we walked in, I managed to flag someone down eventually and we got seated pretty quickly. Service was also quick and great! Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their actual food. I was eyeing that smash burger! IG: @ammysalamii

Not to be dramatic, but this might be one of the best smash burgers I've had in my lifetime. This was incredible. Service was great. Came in for a work lunch and couldn't be a better setting for it. Love the vibe of this place. Stop on in! read more

Cool ambiance. Great staff. Small menu (in the best way...they do what they do, WELL). Just came for drafts and snacks. Bavarian pretzel, Refiner's Fries, charcuterie board, all A+. Happy hour prices are also good . read more

Wow. When I am not looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie I am in search of fantastic beer. Well I found a spot! Gen x music (love it) good beer options and the food. Fries are supreme. My charcuterie board was mid the burger could have used salt. Laid back and more beer increased the stars . Come and hang out. read more

Had a very good experience at Newhall Refinery. Tried the Spicy BBQ Chicken Flatbread and it was flavorful with just the right kick. Paired it with a Mango Hefeweizen from Garage Brewing Co, which was refreshing and complemented the food really well. Also had a Margarita,perfectly balanced and smooth. Great atmosphere, solid drinks, and tasty food--definitely a place I'd come back to read more

Came here on a weekday in the afternoon. It was not too busy, but there was only one server so I did not feel like the service was all that great. The bbq chicken flatbread was really really good, but the fried chicken sandwich was a bit bland and the burgers were not served as hot as I would have liked them. The fries lacked a bit of salt too. I'm not sure if I would come back, but it's a good spot to try if you're in the area on Main Street looking for a burger! read more

We sought out a good lunch stop after a local hike and this place fit the bill. Our party really enjoyed sitting outside on a lazy Saturday. I enjoyed the smash burger, with the right amount of crisp texture and gooey cheese. We sampled the pretzel, and refiner fries which were delicious if not a bit decadent. They had a good list of beers, too. Well worth trying out if you're in the area. read more
