We were FINALLY able to try this place. We have attempted a few times, but never planned so no reservations. We tried a walk in but they were full. Their front of house manager was super nice to suggest the bar area which is open seating. We felt bad for the bartender as we were having a full dinner. They have a $35 corkage fee which we used for our own wine since we get our wines from Napa and wanted that specific one tonight. The bartender was nice and gave us water, poured our wine into a decanter and set it up all nice. We were offered a bread basket to start and we went for it. The bread basket is worth the $6! My favourite was the flat cheese thing. We were not sure on appetizers, we were between the bone marrow and the steak tartare. I asked the bartender for his opinion and he strongly suggested for the steak tartare. I am glad we went with his suggestion as it was very tasty! This is now our favorite steak tartare around (since the Cellar changed theirs). For main dish, I am small and don't eat too much so we decided to share the 20oz bone in ribeye at medium rare, creamed spinach and creamed corn. The steak was cooked PERFECTLY, the cow did not die in vain. Our only callout is that typically at nicer steak houses they will cut your steak to share, but not here. That's fine, I cut the steak since my bf is not the best at it. The creamed spinach was our favourite since the creamed corn was a bit different (not bad) than what we are used it. It was creamier than our normal. We ordered the 3 topper sampler with the blue cheese topper, truffle butter and red wine sauce. They were all good Ion their own way, but as a truffle lover, the truffle butter was the winner. For dessert we had the butter cake which was tasty but not crunchy. They have the whip cream on the side and a scoop of vanilla icecream. This is a good dessert to share between 2 maybe 3 if not too hungry. Now for the service and overall staff. I have to mention that their management is 100% on point! The front of house and back of house managers are on top of EVERYTHING! They are watching everything going on and making sure your experience is flawless. We had the managers come around a few times asking how everything was going. The bartenders kept our area clean, refilled our water, made sure our wine was always filled. We did have a small unpleasant experience that was completely outside of their control. Their staff handled it extremely well. Without us even saying anything, the manager was sent our way. I was joking with my bf of what happened without noticing the manager behind me. I was startled when I saw him and he asked me to tell him all about it. I clearly told him that we understood it was outside of their control and we were ok. He was super nice about it and handled it extremely professional. Overall it was a great experience and we cannot wait to be back! read more

We celebrated a very special graduation at the Old Brea Chop House and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I was able to make a reservation for our party of 12 and they gave us a beautiful long table in the back. They allowed me to bring in table decorations and the lighting is dark enough at Lunch where 6 small lanterns, a couple metallic centerpieces and 12 individual candy holders shaped like graduation hats sat atop each place setting perfectly. The service deserves its own paragraph. It was unparallel. As was the food. Everything was delicious, but bear in mind, I don't really eat red meat so I'm not the best judge of steak at a steakhouse. Some highlights for me were: ***The roasted cauliflower steak appetizer which had tahini dressing, pomegranite, sumac, golden raisins and extra virgin olive oil ***The Ruby Red Trout with ancho chile rub and beurre blanc ***The wild field mushrooms with garlic sherry and herbs ***The warm butter cake with vanilla ice cream, creme angleis and strawberries ***The Key Lime pie with graham cracker crust and meringue I want to try their seafood tower, their bread service, the Brick Mary's chicken and like everything on their Brunch menu. My only complaint is that they did not want to seat us until our whole party was there. I do understand why that is their policy, and they did allow us to decorate the table prior to our party's arrival so we kind of got around it this one time. We will 100% be back! read more

I'm a bit conflicted to write this review. This was on Father's Day we ordered several drinks, 2 out of 5 of them were ok not the best bartenders or mixologists. We ordered the Tomahawk was a 10/10, Fried Chicken 8/10 short ribs 10/10, butter cake 6/10, crème brûlée 10/10. However the servers never smiled they were not friendly at all, not very attentive. Not sure if management is aware but if I'm going to go eat somewhere I would love to see people greet with a Smile and serve with a smile. That would've made this experience a 10/10 especially on Father's Day! read more

Love this place and have been coming for many years, from before we had kids to now dining here as a family and even bringing our dog once for the patio. The people here are what make it truly special. Over time we've met so many members of the team and built real friendships, which says everything about the level of hospitality. The way they take care of my kids makes every visit feel warm and personal, and being welcomed with champagne when we arrive is always a great start to the night. The steaks are consistently great and almost always cooked perfectly. You can taste the quality, especially knowing they age their own steaks in house. The cocktails are also a must and are just as memorable as the food. On warm nights the outdoor patio is one of the best places to sit and relax. It turns dinner into an experience rather than just a meal. We haven't been back in a few months not by choice, and it's definitely overdue. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Amazing dinner. Shout out to Andre and Sam for absolutely splendid service! I have never been treated so pleasant while dining. Me and my friend both got the Ribeye grilled, not Cajun and it had so much flavor. The garlic garnish is far more than a garnish, it was delicious! Taking out each clove and spreading it on bread or the steak, hands down amazing! Kace, the assistant gm made the experience even more amazing with his service, local pub recommendations and more. Baked potatoes are massive and can be shared, Brussels sprouts can be made without the bacon which were the most tasty Brussels I've had to date! We also started off with crab cakes, really yummy. One of the sauces tastes like it has horseradish in it, not sure if it does but it is amazing. We also shared Mac and cheese and that had a lot of flavor as well. The old fashioned was amazing and made with honeycomb which was the perfect balance of sweet. Overall, 10/10 experience. Oh! The butter cake was to die for. It's their highly recommended desert. It was my bday so they took our picture and they brought me an amazing chocolate dessert. Thanks OBCH! read more

We brought in a group of 11 today. First off, the service was great. The servers that helped us were friendly, quick to respond, and took care of all issues promptly. However, I ordered the prifx-fixe for 2 and split with another member in our party. We both ordered the entree "chimichurri steak" anticipating a steak, but got sandwich instead. The menu had read steak, so we anticipated a steak and got a sandwich. Another downside to this was the other person in our party had a gluten intolerance so the entree had to be remade. Despite the issues with our food, we were promptly seated and the service was great. I will also mention parking is difficult and there is one parking lot in the back or street parking. read more

Let's begin with this was our first experience and we came celebrating our anniversary. The ambiance is relaxed with lively customers. There are TVs at the bar to watch the most current sports event. Our two servers were Bo & Josh. Both were beyond excellence of service. We were told the current specials, given recommendations and they both checked in often to ensure everything was on par. Bo even checked in when my husband went to the restroom to fold his napkin and converse with me on the food. These small touches make you feel the dining is worth it. The food; the sides were all excellent. The asparagus was perfectly tender but still has a bite. The asparagus came with a hollandaise sauce but we didn't try as we prefer the asparagus as is. The mashed potatoes were smooth, creamy and full of garlic flavor. The Mac n cheese was the star side for us, we added the bacon steak and it gave it an extra touch of smoked saltiness. The multiple cheeses ensured it would be rich and full of flavor. We ordered the 36oz tomahawk medium rare and it was more on the rare side. We don't mind as we can do either or but I would keep that in mind for yourself if you aren't a rare fan you may want to order medium. The steak was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Our knives didn't need to do much work as it cut like butter. The chocolate mousse dessert that comes when you have an anniversary or birthday is very nice, smooth and not too sweet. The butter cake however was the star dessert. It was gooey, warm, soft and perfectly accented with the ice cream and strawberries. Two things they did at the end that made us go WOW: They took our picture and printed it out with a card saying happy anniversary, a really sweet token to have. Bo asked us if we had a dog or pet at home that would like our bone, we do and he had it wrapped up for us. We will be returning! read more

Made a Father's Day reservation and we were sat down fairly quickly. Then it took a turn. It took too long to be addressed and given menus. Then our waiter Jason gave us the wrong menus when we finally did get them. Had to wait again to get the right one. Eventually we ended up with a waitress and Jason would only pass by with an occasional unnecessary comment about enjoying our food. The steak itself was good, I had the 12 oz skirt. Asparagus and mashed potatoes. All delicious. Reasonably priced. Atmosphere is ok. Nothing special at 1pm. Overall not a horrible experience experience but do need the service to tighten up. read more

The lunch prix fixe menu for 2 is valid for take out! I ordered the chop house burger and chimichurri steak sandwich. I wish they gave some more fries but the steak sandwich was perfect. The amount of chimichurri, tenderness of the steak and good bread made it worth getting again. The burger was a decent size and with the two salads, the price point makes sense. I would come back to try their other sandwiches. read more

Nice upscale steakhouse in downtown Brea. Service is phenomenal and the food is amazing. A bit overpriced for certain items but other than that it's a great place to hang out, celebrate a birthday, etc. Their steaks are tender and flavorful and quality poultry. Their dides are tasty and just enough to share. A nice amount of alcohol and drink options to choose from. Nice cool vibes. read more

I'm honestly embarrassed because I was the one who made this reservation and brought my wife and son here expecting a great experience. We've been here before and the food and service used to be up to standard. Clearly that standard is gone. We had a 10:45pm reservation on February 14th. If you're going to offer that time slot, especially on Valentine's Day, your kitchen should be fully operational. Don't take late reservations just to rush guests out the door. That's greedy and tacky. An older gentleman with green eyes told us Olga would be helping us. While we were still looking at the menu, he came back to loudly announce the specials. Not printed and not presented professionally, just recited across the table with prices like an auction. It was awkward, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing to sit through with my family. Print your specials and present them properly. Don't put guests in that position. Then Olga approached with an attitude you could feel immediately. We were taking a moment to decide and she abruptly says, "The kitchen is closing in 10 minutes." I was shocked. You accepted a 10:45pm reservation on Valentine's Day and now you're rushing paying guests. I brought my wife and son out for a nice dinner and instead felt like we were being pushed out the door. If the kitchen closes at 11, don't seat people at 10:45. It's not complicated. Now the food was the real disappointment. My son's ribeye and mine were burned. Not a proper sear, burned.My wife's filet mignon tasted reheated with dry edges and no freshness.Even the Mexican Coke was flat. Completely lifeless. As a husband and father, it's frustrating and embarrassing to take your family somewhere you expect to be quality and have it turn out like this, especially on a night that's supposed to be special. If you're going to charge premium prices, act like a premium restaurant.If you value your time, your money, and basic standards, go somewhere else. This place clearly doesn't respect any of them anymore. read more

We came back for my brother's birthday, and we were very disappointed. We ordered the big dry aged tomahawk, medium rare. And they made it raw and bland. We sent it back. It came back super salty and overcooked. It was a big let down as it was an over $200 steak. We dont have a reason to come back. read more

Had lunch here today for the 1st time - worst case of food poisoning I've ever had. Too bad really wanted it to be good read more

I've been here twice over the last month or so, and my first experience was a 5 star. Today was closer to 2, so we are at 3.5 cumulatively. I had dinner here in early December and we had the bread basket, schnitzel and chop house burger. All were perfectly cooked. My old fashioned was lovely. 5/5 Today, I was so excited to bring my boyfriend in. We aren't seeing each other tomorrow so it was our celebratory new years lunch. We got the bread basket and the pretzel bread was stale (said nothing). We ordered the prix fixe lunch special - 2 salads and two sandwiches for $45. Their website says $40 for two and lists other sandwiches, but we will ignore that also, just FYI. I got the blue cheese burger, he got the filet mignon sandwich. Burger was ordered medium and came VERY well. It was obvious it sat under a heat lamp for too long. I took one bite and couldn't do it, dry as a bone. I sent it back and waited about 20-25 minutes for my new burger. It came medium well. Thankfully my bf gave my half his filet mignon sandwich. It was a 7/10. Fries are a 8/10. Our server was excellent and very attentive - I wish she didn't have to deal with this situation either. It was a clear miss on both the kitchen and management here tbh. They shouldve removed our bread basket or offered us a free dessert or something, and maybe I'm a little biased, because here was my experience at Bruno's Brea last night: 1. FREE fresh bread basket 2. Cioppino came with an issue 3. Had a fresh bowl within 10 minutes 4. They gave me a dessert on the house to go So ya. You left a lot to be desired today, OBCH. read more

Service was wonderful there was some confusion with the hostess seating us but that was resolved. Everyone was helpful and friendly . The food was delicious I liked about everything I probably wouldn't do Cajun seasoning on the steak I prefer just a regular seasoned steaks. Cute vibes and we got a view of the kitchen which was cool. Celebrated my birthday and they brought out a nice dessert on the house read more

Not only did the food stand out but the service was fantastic! For context I am a larger man and when being ushered to my seat the manager who sat us noticed the seat MIGHT be uncomfortable for me and offered a quick change. He was very empathetic and at the end of the meal he even offered us something special. The location, the service, the food...all top notch. Looking forward to going back! read more

His leadership shows in how professional and kind the entire staff is. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and a place we'll definitely keep returning to. Highly recommend! read more

The Bartenders were great! The hostesses were friendly. The steak Fries were good. However, that was the absolute worst steak I have ever had. Ordered it medium well, and it was scorched earth on the outside and a small cattle on the inside. Once again, the Bartenders and hostesses were great, but for a "Chop House" they did not deliver. At all. At All, At All. read more

Why are you loudly stating prices across the table like an auction? It's cringe, unprofessional, and cheapens the entire experience. Print the specials. Don't put your server in that awkward position. Then Olga approaches with an attitude you could feel instantly. We're taking a few seconds to decide and she says, "The kitchen is closing in 10 minutes." The audacity. You accepted a 10:45pm reservation on Valentine's Day and now you're rushing paying guests?

10/10 in all ways! My husband and I always get the Ribeye with Gnocchi (BEST gnocchi ever). We go by ourselves on date nights and catch a comedy show after. The cocktails are also very well made and delicious. I took my 4 year old daughter in the other day for lunch and I tried their chicken, that was amazing! We shared the chicken, Ahi Tuna appetizer, French fries, and gnocchi. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Our server was have friendly conversation with my daughter and I.

We had the absolute BEST experience at Old Chop House in Brea! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. The food was incredible--every dish was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Bo .Honestly, he made the entire night unforgettable. Every recommendation he gave us was spot on--each dish he suggested turned out to be one of the best things I've ever had. He was so knowledgeable, personable, and fun to talk to--I joked that he could probably sell me a car without even looking at it after how amazing all his recommendations were ! That's how good he was. The drinks were also amazing. I ordered the Passenger Princess and it was perfection--highly recommend if you're looking for a cocktail that's both creative and delicious. Little touches like coming back from the restroom to find my napkin folded into a rose , really made the service feel elevated. We came for my brother-in-law's dinner, and everyone at the table raved about their meals. The atmosphere was easy, welcoming, and perfect for a special night out. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner. We started with a bbq shrimp app, comes in a kinda Cajun sauce which was delicious, added Mac n cheese, creamed spinach, Brussels sprouts and potatoes au gratin. All of them were very good, I generally don't like Brussels sprouts but these were very good. My filet was perfectly cooked, which it should be and well seasoned. Only complaint I tried a signature cocktail, which was some whiskey sour ish drink, too sweet and just not enjoyable at all. We had a cake waiting at home but will be going back and will a desert next time. I really enjoyed the ambiance, nice, but not over the top. A place you could dress up if you want or bummed out like I was and feel comfortable. Our service was good, what you expect from a higher level restaurant. Maybe a tad but slow. Overall a great experience and dinner. read more

Wow. We visited on New Year's Eve and were completely blown away. The food was outstanding, but what truly set the experience apart was the hospitality and service.

At the end of the night, one of the managers even walked us to the door and welcomed us back, saying, "This is your home." As serial fine diners, we can honestly say this was the best service we've ever experienced. read more

Had a lovely dinner at OBCH. Glad we used Resy app to reserve, we didn't wait long to get seated on a very busy Friday night. Started off with a lemon drop martini ($15) which was perfect after a long work week. Our server Sergio made the right recommendations: we thoroughly demolished our burrata appetizer ($19) with the freshly baked assorted breads. Made the right choice in picking Braised Short Ribs ($39) which was soooo tender and delicious! My husband really enjoyed his double cut Pork Chop ($38) - so thick and juicy and yummy. Our side creamed corn with bacon steak ($24) was a great complement to our main dishes. Service was attentive and not rushed. We can't wait to return to try the other dishes on the menu. The bar looked really fun as well, maybe we'll be back to watch some football on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Parking can be a hassle but there's valet and a short walk to some parking structures... It is located next to Improv and YardHouse. read more
