    Excellent, sleek upscale steakhouse with wonderful food and service. The ingredient quality was top notch. There's plenty of free lots, but can be busy during peak hours. Food- 5 stars iceberg wedge salad- really well done grilled bacon steak- very flavorful and fatty. Their meat quality was superb duroc pork chop- it's a thick cut but it was incredibly tender and flavorful still shrimp scampi- very good and balanced. rich but with plenty of flavor creamed spinach- pretty good Service- 5 stars Wonderful service throughout. They really went above and beyond. Really enjoyed our meal Bottom Line Excellent, upscale steakhouse that just does everything so well and takes the extra steps to go above and beyond

    1/5 - seafood tower with king crab, oysters, and prawns. The king crab is overly salty at some parts and some of ends were very fishy. Not worth the $175 4/5 - clam chowder. Came out warm. Pretty standard flavor. 2/5 - garlic mashed potatoes were salty and pasty. The potatoes were overworked 3/5 - broccolini still had the raw vegetable flavor in some pieces 5/5 - best dish do the night. We asked for medium rare. It came out more on the medium side but was still very juicy and tender. 5/5 - Chilean seabass. Cooked perfectly always a good choice. 2/5 - 16 oz New York strip. We asked for medium rare and it came out medium well. I started eating the strip on the thicker side and it was still medium at that point. Once I got closer to the center it was dry and gray, no more pink. I mentioned this to the waitress and she agreed it was medium well. Oscar the manager came to apologize and instead of offering to take the steak off the bill, he asked if he should take just half off. I'm assuming he was insinuating that I had already eaten a portion of it. I told him he can do whatever he wants. At this point I think, he realized how rude his question was. He began apologizing profusely and shook my hands several times. Managers are the one that usually fix situations, not make a situation worse. Food rating for this visit is 4/5, but when you factor in Oscar it's a 2/5 experience. I really like this restaurant and I'll probably be back. But, next time I'll have to cut my steak down the center to ensure my steak is cooked correctly.

    Nice upscale steakhouse on the corner of Birch St and Brea Blvd. It has a nice look inside, and the space is good for for various events. Service was top notch. We had an issue with the temp of the steak and we received a new steak, and they made sure to check on us to make sure all was well. One of the highlights that surprised me was the gnocchi. It was fantastic and I would go back for that alone! Great experience.

    Blue cheese hamburger

    Came here for lunch at 1 pm on our 38th wedding anniversary. The place was practically full of well dressed business types. Even the staff were impeccably dressed. We were seated right away in a booth. We ordered their prefixe lunch for $45 for two - choice of Cesar or mixed green salad and several selections of sandwiches (chimichurri steak, prime rib, blue cheese burger or old chophouse burger). We chose the Cesar salad. Hubby had the blue cheese burger with crispy bacon and I had the chophouse burger with melted cheddar, lettuce, onion and tomato. Before our orders arrived, we were served a lovely small plate of vege crudités ( purple cauliflower, snap peas, baby radish, baby carrots, pearl tomatoes and a yummy ranch dip. The burgers were thick and juicy! Oh my! They came with a ginormous amount of fries and ketchup. We were super pleased with the perfectly cooked, thick and did I already say juicy patty? Oh, they surprised us with a beautiful dessert to top of our celebration. Our servers were also so nice and friendly and attentive. The classy ambiance, superb service and delicious food truly made our budget friendly celebration special.

    Love the speakeasy-vibe entrance after entering the front door! Almost missed the actual entrance lol. Parking is a breeze as there are multiple free parking lots/structures in the area as it's located in Downtown Brea. Our party dined at OBCH for lunch on an early Friday afternoon. I'm glad we made reservations, as the lunch rush was looking decently busy. However that didn't affect our dining experience whatsoever, as the service was great! And food was yummy for a modern/trendy American restaurant. Highlights were the Brussel sprouts, filet mignon, and the cheesy potatoes.

    Back again and in addition to my favorites I tried the bacon steak (phenomenal) and Caesar salad (delicious). I also tried the berry bomb drink (like a raspberry lemon drop, this may be one of my favorite drinks). I also tried the coconutz which is like a piña colada with whiskey. It was good, more on the sweet end. I preferred the tart freshness of the raspberry drink. Really appreciated the bartenders recommendation on this :) I went for my bday and they gave me a lil bday treat. A delicious chocolate pudding. I really love this restaurant

    My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our 7 year anniversary and boy oh boy were we blown away! The service here is amazing!! The drinks were delish!! I got the Coco Nutz and it was so tasty! Reminded me of a pina colada but upscale! Definitely on the sweeter fruitier side. My bf really likes the Japanese old fashion too! if old fashion is your vibe, definitely try it out! For our main, we got the skirt steak and the trout. The skirt steak was so good my bf would not stop talking about it even on our car ride back home lol. THATS HOW GOOD IT WAS! The marinate is so flavorful and the steak was cooked to PERFECTION! As for the Trout, it was definitely tasty but personally there was too many bones so I would come back for the skirt steak! Don't underestimate the skirt steak! For our sides we got Brussels sprouts and matchstick fries. I also really like the Brussels sprouts. It was crispy, and flavorful and definitely hit the spot. The portions of the sides were pretty big. For the fries, they were massive where it felt like it was never ending lol We also got complimentary dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary and its so cute bc it says "happy anniversary" Overall, i highly recommend this place! We'll definitely be back soon!!

    Oysters.

    Old Brea Chophouse is terrific. The service is always great and the oysters and steak are always quality here. Location is great and nice to have a great steakhouse in Brea!

    My first visit and I was very pleased. The ambiance of this restaurant is nice, calming and intimate. Staff was wonderful, and very attentive. The steaks were delish, we did the filet and the NY Strip. I wasn't overly thrilled about the sides. They were ok, but none that really stood out, if I'm being honest some were a little salty. BUT, the Oysters were DELICIOUS. I will be back for drinks, the bread basket, a steak, oysters and a salad... can't forget the butter cake!!

    My brother took the whole family to Old Brea Chop House to celebrate. == FOOD == We each got a steak. I got the 6 oz filet mignon. My parents got other cuts of meat, iirc my aunt got a 16 oz rib eye, and I don't really remember what my brother got. We got some sides: the brussel sprouts (11/10), the wild mushrooms (8/10) and the creamed corn (9/10). We also got 2 desserts: berry tart, and a sorbet. == SERVICE == The waiter and staff were all very nice and friendly. We asked for to-go boxes, and she even labeled everyone's boxes for us. == AMBIANCE == The inside is very bougie. We were seated at a booth in the middle of the restaurant. The bar on the side is very nice as well.

    Filet and bone marrow
    Randall M.

    Steak was prepared well - we typically order medium rare. Warm red inside and crispy outside. Bone marrow always adds bonus points for me. Service is elevated compared to your typical restaurant - waiter spilled drinks on our shoes and there was no compensation except "we're sorry". That's fine. Ambiance was classy, dark and well lit at the same time. On par with any modern steak house. Would return again.

    Espresso martini, and Woodford reserve whisky with coke

    Food was amazing, the service was amazing. Our server Bo was great. He was very attentive, he sold us on the lobster bisque and lobster roll. It delicious. The rest of food so good as well. Very satisfying. Can't wait to come again soon.

    A lot of dinner items are available on the lunch menu. Please call the restaurant or if you email from our website what you are interested in I can confirm. Happy birthday!!!

    Are their steaks dry aged?

    Yes!

    Do you accept discover card?

    Yes we do!

    Do you make your own carrot cake? It's very good

    Our carrot cake is home main house.

    Does OBCH offer Happy Hour again yet? It says they do in the about section from the owner?

    Apologies if the statement was not up to date we are not currently offering happy hour. Our full menu is available at the bar top all day though. We hope to serve you in another capacity soon

    Are the noted time periods strict? Looking to make a reservation for an upcoming birthday just for 2 people but hoping to dine and enjoy drinks longer than the 1 hr 45 minute time that is noted.

    Thank you for considering The Chop House for your birthday celebration. What day and time is your reservation for?

    Is the restaurant decorated for Christmas?

    Not when I was there. 😞

    Are there gluten free options?

    Please advise your server or manager when making reservations, we can make certain you will have gluten free experience.

    Is it reservation only? We attempted to go on a Friday night, with no reservation, just kinda wish front desk would've been a little more tactful with her telling us "nothing available"

    No you don't but you should for weekends or during the week if you have more than a party of 4 .

    Is there happy hour for drinks?

    Yes, there are great brink specials

    Why is it more expensive to get the "combo" rib cap with two sides and a butter cake than If you bought everything separately?

    The Cap is 20 oz cut a la carte at 115.00, we make it a complete dinner and is a better value. Let me if there's anything I can do.… 

    I'm taking my family here for the first time, next week. What is the best steak they have there?

    The rib eye cape medium rare is excellent and flavorful, it can be shared. The Delmonico ribeye is my second choice.

    What steaks are creek stone sourced?

Perfectly sweet and served with dulce de leche, strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream.. they all go well with the butter cake. Of course that was for dessert.. but to start for lunch, I ordered the house taco selection which comes with 4 tacos (Korean, steak, birria, and cueva tacos). I loved the cheese crusted tortilla on their tacos, and the cueva taco was my fave out of the four! The steak was dry so it was my least fave but the Korean and birria taco were also yummy! Nice way to sample their different tacos! Their guava agua Fresca was a refreshing drink to go with my tacos. My friend ordered their cheese enchiladas in their cream red sauce. She said it was different from any red sauce she has ever had but she said she enjoyed her enchiladas. Service was attentive and friendly. Each server checked in on us regularly. Came here on a Saturday for lunch and it was surprisingly not busy at all like how it used to be. Overall, the food was just like I remembered and I wish I had come back sooner.
