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. read more

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. read more

Made a reservation for 4 because it was a special night as not only was it a double date, it was a double date meant to ask my childhood friend to be my matron of honor. Which she said yes by the way It was casual but still a great atmosphere, drinks are great! My matron of honor and I had the raspberry mojitos while my fiancé and her husband didn't drink because well, they aren't much drinkers and they were driving, haha! I had the chicken, my fiancé had the apple pork or something? I can't remember the exact names because the night went in a blur. We were there for over two hours. Then my matron of honor had the fish and chips and her husband the burger with fries. They loved their food too. Everything was delicious and our server was very sweet and attentive. Will be back again! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Really good food overall. We all had something different and everyone enjoyed what they had. My dad always gets the pork and apple and loves it. The fries are great, everything seems fresh and service is always good. There is a bar, high tables in the middle and regular tables on the other side. Not the cheapest place to eat, but very good. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

It's been a little while since I visited Newhall Refinery, but I highly enjoyed the entire experience! The space inside is a bit tight, but my wife and I easily grabbed a high-top table and quickly dove into the craft beer selection. I have to mention the delicious peanut butter stout--it was absolutely fantastic. Their pub food is also great; the burgers we ordered were top-notch. Service was a highlight: quick, friendly, and our server was always checking if we needed another beer before our current ones ran dry. We cannot wait to go back! read more

Came here for Mother's Day and was disappointed. We had reservations for outdoor dining and because it was so busy they kept forgetting about us. We waited over an hour for our food and it wasn't like we ordered steaks. This was lunch so we ordered sandwiches and salads. Food was good. The server never came back to check on us or ask if we wanted refills on our drinks. Getting our to-go boxes also took about 20 mins. I had to get up and ask. I don't recommend coming on a busy day. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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

Newhall Refinery is always nice, the ambiance of the place is rustic and casual but elevated. I went with a big group of friends and was served quickly, accurately, and was accommodated well. We ordered a few appetizers and drinks--all of which were delicious. I would recommend any of their appetizers on the menu!! read more

I called to ask about seating on Mother's Day. They said they are fully booked. I asked if walk-ins are welcomed, and they said NO they are fully booked. Most restaurants have a wait list, but they do not unfortunately. I edited the review as a manager replied to my post and explained a wait was started. 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

I want to start off by saying the ambience at this restaurant is great. It really feels like you've stepped back in time to old town. Newhall. The food was very good. I had a pulled pork sandwich and some mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was to die for there was shredded pork all on top of it. The atmosphere was great. The service was amazing and I will definitely be coming back here again with my family. 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

The quality of food was not that great and expensive for the quality and potions; For sure the fish and chips was the highest disappointment. The French dip all had very little meat read more

The food was pretty good overall; prices a little steep for burgers though. Quick service and seating for a Friday afternoon. read more

The staff was very nice and attentive. Unfortunately we all (4) ordered hamburgers. The meat came cold inside and dry. Paying almost $25 per burger you would expect it to come hot and juice. I hate sending food back to we just ate what we could. I don't think we will return again. 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

Had mother's day brunch here (party of 7). We got there a little early, hostess seemed very disappointed by this. Had to say "well your reservation isn't til noon, so we don't have a table for you." Ehrm.. okay.. she could have said "oh we don't have your table ready yet but we'll see what we can do and let u know once something opens up sooner!" But that would be too hard. They also seemed short staffed on a very busy Mother's Day. Our server was rushing the whole time, almost throwing our napkins and utensils to our table. She didn't even think of getting us small plates when we ordered some appetizers. One server was the redeeming factor. Big guy who brought us our appetizers and small plates, without my asking. Food was alright. read more

Back again and once again you got RHCP playing awesome !!! Great service and great options. I love this place. Tip my hat off to your staff. Super friendly. Keep playing the rock music read more

We were driving through on our way to Anaheim, I found this place on yelp with great reviews so we decided to give it a try. We went in with a party of 6 and were immediately seated. Everything we ordered was really good, my favorite was the fish and chips. read more

Yuh it's pretty good, the burgers are the best part. I really Enjoy the decorations though, read more

Waited 1 hour and our food never came, waitress only checked on us 3 times ( drop water, drop drinks, and then 1 hour later still with no food) Don't recommend to come here on a busy night 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

This is such a nice spot! A little pricey, but for good quality and ingredients. The service was incredible. A party of 3 on a Saturday night, we walked in and were seated immediately. Chill vibe, soft lighting, a rustic feel. Christine M. seated us and then ended up serving us, too! They had more cooks than servers, and only one busser, but we waited for nothing. We had the charcuterie board to start, and the beignets to finish. I wouldn't change a thing! Christine was personable, attentive and pleasant. They have outdoor seating, but we opted to sit inside. I loved all the decor and it was pretty hoppin' since it was Saturday. We're from out of town, but would definitely be back whenever in the area! read more

The Cali burger is honestly to die for. The appetizers we got were all pretty good too. I'd recommend coming for brunch for the steak and eggs! The service was somewhat okay, but it was pretty packed. The ambiance is very cozy here! read more

It was my first time dining here, and it did not disappoint. There is a very good selection of beers and wines. The inside is like your typical beer bar, with lots of taps on the wall. The fish and chips were amazing, one of the top three in the area. The service was mediocre. They were semi-busy. I would have expected a bit more attention, but I get it. read more

I've been here on a few occasions. The restaurant itself is a more laid back, comfortable vibe that everyone feels welcome. They have a private room if you need it for a party, or work event. They have a great selection of specialty cocktails and my friends and I love! The food is good, they have changed chefs a few times so I won't give me most recent opinion without visiting again. But this has been a staple here on Main Street in down town Newhall. Great for a date, meet up with friends or family. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids, it marks of an adults catered restaurant. Locals swear this is the best restaurant in town! read more

If I could negative 5 stars 1 would. We waited over 20 no one ever came to serve us. They went to serve a couple that sat 15 min after us but the lady was nice enough to say we were here first. We order our food and everything is wrong. I ask for the manager and the hostess comes over. I tell her how we were ignored and how every waiter including busboy walked past us many times and ignored us and how our order was wrong. I specifically said steak sauce on side because all the reviews say it's bad and sure enough it's horrific and yet they put it on top. She says nothing. This dinner was to honor my 9 year old dog that was killed by a coyote one week ago. My entire family has been devastated. This just made it worse. read more

Atmosphere counts for a lot in my book, and Newhall Refinery has one of the best I have seen in Santa Clarita, especially for a gastropub. I don't think my pictures will do it justice. The theme is Western/California, it is warm, cozy, rustic and clever with little extras like nails coming out of the rough-hewn picture frames and leather-like upholstery. Since there is a cow-country theme in Newhall anyway, I thought this was a nice way to emphasize it. Now, for the menu -- not a lot for vegetarians. I always manage to cobble together things so I had the Drunk Mac and it was very good, rich and flavorful. My friends had Fish and Chips and pronounced it excellent. There were salads, a cheese board with fruit, and an Impossible Burger for those who are looking for variety. Next time I will hit the brunch time slot so I can try other things that look good on that menu. The music was a plus -- Baby Boomer stuff, mostly 70s and 80s, very upbeat and at just the right volume level. The restaurant was largely full and stayed that way while we were there on a rainy afternoon. We had a reservation and were seated in the place of our choice. Everything was clean and our server, Steven, was a joy. Friendly, professional, efficient -- couldn't be better. We all had dark beer including Old Rasputin and Moose Drool Brown -- love those names and they were very good, I had my 3 ounces, LOL. Dessert was exceptional and unusual: Strawberry Rye Bread pudding, rich and delicious but somehow light and elegant. You have to try it. I loved the place. I would like them to take the bacon out of the Brussels sprouts or at least offer a version without it. Maybe add a non-Impossible-style burger (tastes too much like meat for me) made from legumes, etc. But those are just little tweaks. Overall, it is a great casual spot that adds to the growing importance and fun on Main Street, in Old Town Newhall. This is now heading toward the top of my local list. Don't miss it. read more

We had dinner on Saturday night., August 30. I ordered the Butter Wedge. It was delicious, first because of the freshness of the lettuce and other ingredients and secondly the combination of the salad and dressing. Muah!!!! I tasted my sister's pesto pasta and it was amazing. I usually don't like pesto sauce, and mind you I love basil. This basil sauce again was just fresh goodness. Newhall Refinery yiur dedication to serving good quality ingredient is great. My husband cod fish and chips was tasteless. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The photos and reviews made it look promising, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. We visited on a Saturday around 7 PM and ordered the cheeseburger, fish & chips, and pasta for my son and me. Every single dish fell short. The burger had old, dry bacon and wilted lettuce, with stale, previously-frozen fries. The pasta arrived unevenly heated -- cold in spots -- and tasted old. The fish & chips suffered from the same stale fries. Overall, the food simply didn't taste fresh or properly prepared. The service didn't help either. We were seated in a very uninviting way, and our server seemed completely indifferent. When we asked for the check with half our plates still untouched, he didn't ask if anything was wrong or offer to make it right. It's hard for me to understand the positive reviews -- perhaps they were written after a few drinks. Sadly, this was one of those meals we couldn't wait to finish and won't be returning. read more
