Stadium Brew - fish and chips! delicious. - Brewpubs Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Came here for a bonsai tree class. We were there early and wanted to order before the class started to try and be done eating before dealing with the dirt and tree trimmings. We had been seated for some time and were constantly trying to flag someone down and no one came so I got up and walked to the hostess and asked if we could order. She asked another worker "can you assign someone to those tables." We sat for another 10 minutes and someone came out starting with other tables. The lady came for drink orders and said she wasn't our server but she would take the food order anyways. We ordered the pretzels, wings, and burger with sweet potato fries. Order came with no sweet potato fries, no silverware, or napkins. It took some time but we flagged her down and I told her we didn't get the sweet potato fries and that's fine, just take it off the bill. Also asked for napkins and a knife. She came back with sweet potato fries. No napkins, no knife. After trying to flag someone down again for several minutes, I again had to get up and go to the hostess and ask for a knife and napkins, she said she would go get them and we never saw her again. I took silverware off a table inside. No one ever came to get plates so our table was completely full and difficult to work around. No one was around to flag down to ask for plates to be removed. The service was so bad a man at the table next to me asked if I was using my fork and if he could have it because he also was unable to get someone's attention to get items needed. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars. It's really 4.5 but thats not an option. And the truth is, it's waaaay better than their current rating. I've been twice recently, both for world cup games. It's clean, great atmosphere, and good but not great service. Beer selection is great. Drinks are good but they really need to get the large single ice cubes for some of the drinks. The regular ice dilutes it too fast. And maybe step up on garnishes and salts. The food was really solid. Fish and chips were fantastic. There is a southwest chicken salad that is phenomenal. However it was ordered both trips and the portion varies dramatically. One was huge and one was petite. Other food items were really good. They had this kind of chicken parm sandwich. Really good but the choice of bun was the wrong. It soaked up too much sauce and had to eat it with a knife and fork. Should be on thick toasted sourdough with a Parmesan crust. With all that, it's great. Really good food and drinks for the price. I'll be back soon. read more

Overall, it was a pretty standard brewery experience. We stopped by for Taco Tuesday, and the happy hour menu included discounted beers and margaritas, which was a nice bonus. The fish and chips were the highlight of the meal. The fish was crispy on the outside while staying flaky inside, and the fries were perfectly crisp as well. It's a classic dish that's hard to go wrong with. I also tried the blueberry beer, which was recommended to me. It was my first time having a blueberry beer, and it was just okay. There was only a subtle hint of blueberry flavor, likely from the fresh blueberries that were added, but I was expecting a bit more fruit flavor overall. read more

Came here for date night. Food was good! Cobb was plentiful, and filling. We also got the burger with everything on the side. The staff were friendly and checked in often in the beginning. Once we got our food, we weren't checked on for a good period and I needed my Tabasco with my ketchup for fries. That was a bit frustrating but it was a busy night with World Cup going on. The sitting was comfortable. Plenty of TVs. Seating outside looks great as well if you have kids to play outside. read more

I came here on a lunch date with my bestie and it was the perfect afternoon! We were treated promptly and sat on the beautiful patio on a sunny Southern California day. It just doesn't get any better! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable when I asked advice on what to order (I was torn between fish and chips and the Greek tacos). I had a tropical ice tea and the Greek tacos with beef/lamb combo and OH EM GEE it was delicious!!! The pita bread was soft and warm and the inside was so flavorful. The entire dish was so filling I had to save some for later. I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

The only change from my prior review is that we ate outside & it was really noisy. But the food was still 4+. I had Italian beef+sausage meatballs in marinara sauce. Our friends shared a full rack of BBQ ribs, which just peeled off the bone. I sampled one, & in spite of the BBQ sauce, of which I am NOT a fan, was meaty & tasty. Service was attentive. read more

AMENDED REVIEW: A recent pickup order didn't go as expected. But management's response was both prompt and classy, and we look forward to giving Stadium Brew another shot. Four stars for steps taken to make it right. read more

Stadium Brew - Receipt - Brewpubs Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Stadium Brew Co. This place is delicious. They offer a wide range of TV options for sports fans. When we went there the first time, I just thought it was just a brewery, but it's not. It has a full-service bar, restaurant, and brewery with a 60-tap selection. So if you're into brew, I recommend you come here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food served and the beers on offer. Now let's talk about the yummy food. Nacho Grande is huge; it fills the whole plate. It comes with its house chips layered with cheeses and topped with black beans, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeño, and house salsa. You can add a protein for an additional cost, which I recommend you do. It added it to the massive nacho plate. They also give a side of sour cream, guacamole, and more salsa. I highly recommend this dish; you get your money's worth. I recommend getting the Hefeweizen with the nachos. It's a wheat ale with a light body and a subtle hint of banana clove. Stadium Brewing Company brews this beer. The following item I tried was the French Dip. It was so delicious. One of the best French Dips I've had in a while. It sliced House-Roasted Ribeye, Cream Horseradish, Provolone Cheese, and grilled onion on a French roll with au jus. I recommend getting extra au jus so you can dip and pour it over the French dip. I recommend you get the Guinness. It's an Irish stout. It's a good combination. It's only 4.2% ABV. If you're into brew, Aliso Viejo, I recommend you stop by. read more

My company has been trying to set up a private event at this location for the past two months. We've visited the location twice, looked at the private room and it was a great fit for a work party we are planning however the manager would not call us back. We called almost every day and the same girl would answer asking for our phone number name etc. and said the manager would give us a call right away and he never did. Which is interesting because it seems he responds back to every review but can't answer the phone. read more

This is always a solid choice for dinner/beer. I have come here for a few company dinners as well as with my family. They are pretty lively during a big game as well which is always fun. When it's not too cold outside, they have outdoor seating as well. Food is pretty good and they have a pretty wide selection. I've actually always been very happy with my meals here. Only downside I would have to say is that they are often out of the beers/brews I order, but I get it! read more

Came with a larger group over the previous weekend and service was great! A lot of indecisive people with a lot of kids and our server was very patient. Kudos to you! I forget her name. Management should be happy to have her on the team. Carrying on. As always the patio is a very nice place to sit. I got the brew burger, first things first delicious crispy fries. Okay...so, not sure what was going on because this is the first disappoint thing I've gotten from here. Something about the meat was off. Just one of those not so great tasting like the meat may have gone bad? I was in a big group and so I just let it be. I don't know why but I did. I can't knock them too much because of past great experiences, just something to be mindful of. Between kids and group no pics this time. read more

Okay the fried fish and chips was actually AMAZING--coming from a born and raised NOLA family. The burger was okay, possibly it's just the burger type we got but we asked for mushrooms and none were there. The servers were really nice and good with conversation. Overall good place to watch the game! read more

The pretzels, fries, Caesar salad was good and my mom enjoyed her meal. My rating is for service. Our sever never introduced herself. I ate most everything but the burger. I had only taken about 2 bite out of it. It sat off to side the entire meal and she came by and looked at us multiple times. She never asked if I liked it or why I didn't eat it. She brought to go boxes and still I never boxed it just left it there. After we paid she finally came by and asked to take the burger. I let her know it wasn't good she could have it and then she apologized said I'm sorry I didn't know. Read the tables and check up on your guests not touching their food. read more

We are enjoying the World Cup match between the USA and Australia, and we wanted to compliment your entire staff. They have handled a very enthusiastic crowd with grace, professionalism, and a smile. Thank you for making this such a fun and welcoming experience. We truly appreciate all of your hard work today! Thank you Logan for great service during a very difficult time. You are awesome! read more

Been coming to stadium for a long time. We always find a money spot outside at the high tops. We've managed through a lot of food changes over the years but always come back for the people. That's what makes this. Kids have ample space to run around (so adults can adult). Beers are ice cold. Get the wings, chicken nachos and Greek tacos. Loren has been one of our favs over the years. Always with a smile. It's nice to bring a my family and know what our food and drink orders are. Glad this place is still sticking. read more

We were a big group and I was the last one to arrive. We had a reservation but there wasn't a chair left for me when I got there and saw our group at the patio. When I approached the waitress, she just ignored me. It was so awkward just standing there while she continued taking my coworkers' orders. Good thing a coworker on the other end of the table saw me and pulled another tall chair and made room for me. Food is good - had the mini pretzels and brussel sprouts appetizers. I loved the spicy sesame noodles. I tried the Fire & Bloom, one of the drinks that the waitress suggested as not too sweet. She missed letting me know it's smokey - I wouldn't get it again. A coworker started choking and we all got ruffled up. None of the staff offered to help nor asked if everything was okay. It was a busy weeknight, I'd give them that excuse. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a friend and it was perfect. The menu has plenty of food and drink options. The service was awesome and friendly. The vibe was pretty cool tool. The sister companies are also in Fullerton and Redondo so be sure to hit those spots up as well! There's many other businesses in this plaza so parking can be tough. But definitely hit this place up if you're in the area. read more

Food for the soul! Stadium Brew has a vast menu that you cannot go wrong with! Their lunch portions are large; their dinner portions are shareable! A hidden gem on their menu is the French Onion soup! It is so cheesy and fragrant, and the flavor profile is deep! The Chicken Piccata is a delicious dish that feels homey and comforting. Beer on tap is cold and fresh! Service is good! read more

A couple of colleagues and I came here while visiting AV for work and saw this brewery next to another establishment and thought, let's check it out. Locale and Vibe - 4* Plenty of parking available, which is always a plus. We were met by the hostess and quickly sat. Well kept, clean, and there are tons of TVs mounted with sports on for those seeking a major event to watch/chill for a good bit. Food & Drink - 3* We quickly noticed the menus have a great selection of beer along with wine, cocktails, and mocktails for anyone seeking something else. We were simply having some shareable type food so we placed some appetizers. The edamame and nachos were both good. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. The portions are respectable. The beer was good. I particularly enjoyed the Citra double IPA. Next time we'd probably go with some non draft beer selections to change it up a bit. Service - 4* Our server was quite busy, but very friendly, helpful, and we were never too long without a check in to make sure we were good with everything. The food came out pretty quick as well, which was a plus since we were pretty hungry after arriving to town. It may have been the day of the week, but it felt maybe just a bit understaffed on the floor? Cost - 3.5* Look, subjective as always, but the menu is a bit sporadic with some items seemingly priced to what you'd expect with others being a bit overpriced? I'd say in general, the portions from what we had (and saw) are decent. Overall - 3.5* I do think their average score (~3.5) is quite reflective of the establishment. I'm going to slot this at a 4* simply because the convenience and overall service was nice. There was nothing that blew us away, but nothing that would prevent us from coming back. It's a good brewpub/sports bar that we'll definitely give another go. read more

Visited Stadium Brew yesterday for Taco Tuesday and had a great time. They roll a grill out onto the patio and cook the tacos fresh--gives it that legit street taco feel. The tacos were not only tasty but surprisingly filling. I especially liked the pickled onions and creamy avocado sauce. To top it off, I had a margarita served in a goblet with a side of Grand Marnier--strong, smooth, and well-balanced. Definitely one of the better margaritas I've had at a sports bar. Stadium Brew has a fun, energetic atmosphere with a spacious bar and a big selection of beers on tap. The menu leans more gourmet than you'd expect from a place like this--everything I've tried has been solid. Friendly staff too. Service can be a little slow at times, but they're generally on point. All in all, a great spot for good food, strong drinks, and a casual night out. Highly recommend giving Taco Tuesday a try. read more

Great place to watch a game. The smash burgers were a bit oily so I didn't like that but the French fries are AMAZING. The blueberry spritz is so good. I'm not even sure if that's the name but it was delicious. The waitress was very kind and sweet. The place is pretty big and there's a lot of outdoor seating. Would come back but probably avoid the burger. read more

The server was very rude and was acting like us being there was an inconvenience. Food was mediocre at best.

Great place to have lunch. The beer is cold, and the food is great. The service was good as well.

I don't usually write reviews, but Lauren's service tonight earned one. Super attentive and helpful with my food restrictions. It was a very busy night and Lauren had a ton of tables yet she still made sure we had what we needed. The food was great too! read more

Not many fun sports bars around the area. The staff is so sweet and very attentive. The food is bomb. They hand make their sauces, dressings, mostly everything. We love the wings and the Kris wrap ;D they have awesome specials and happy hour/Sunday brunch. Love everybody who works there read more

Good food but overpriced overall. Great place where the kids can run and play too, but be careful of the homeless around.

Definitly the happening spot for live sports! Lots of food options, great drink service...Positive, genuine fun vibes from all the locals! Both outside and inside is nice, family-oriented or more party-scene at night. Let's Go! read more

Stadium Brew - Bleu Cheese Wedge Salad - Brewpubs Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I have been to Stadium Brew a couple times by now, and every time I am blown out of the water by how delicious everything is. It has reached a point that I'm basically ordering new things looking for something that isn't amazing, because there's no way a brewery has food this good, right? And every time Stadium Brew proves once again that it takes its drink and food very seriously. The seating is varied, with a patio, indoors, and smaller lounges, there's a place for everyone to feel comfortable. I don't think I've even seen the entire establishment yet. But it doesn't end there: service is top notch, the waiting staff has been ever friendly and earnest, ready to recommend something when I'm feeling indecisive, and to help us change to a different table that one time I was feeling chilly. Business is always booming, but thanks to their quick kitchen and capable staff, food always gets to your table in a timely manner. Finally, I would like to shout out some of my favorite bites: the Wagyu sliders, the flatbreads, and the limited-time lamb rack are to die for. Some of the more memorable drinks are the tastefully meaty Bacon Old Fashioned, and the bittersweet Chocolate Martini if you're feeling like dessert. And speaking of dessert! I think I have tried all of them by now: my favorites are the delightfully dense butter cake and the flourless chocolate cake. Keep an eye out for specials! Long story short: if you want to have good food, good drinks, and a good time, Stadium Brew is a must! read more

Friendly, quick service, and staff were very pleasant. Fries were amazing. Great beer selection. Not too crowded (good for me, bad for them). I'll return for the taco Tues./Trivia night we heard so much about. Overall, really happy with this place- the service alone deserves 4 stars. read more

My friend and I came here for a "treat yourself" day and it did not disappoint. Our bartender/server Sara was the best!

Went to Stadium recently. It's changed some since my last visit. Love the bar area and outdoor area but the game was on so it was crowded. We sat at a table, service was ok. A bit on the slower side It took some time to get greeted and when we wanted to pay the server disappeared. Had to pay at the front counter. Food was decent, had the smash burger but who ever made it out all the wet stuff (tomatoes, pickles) at the bottom of the bread, so it was bit soggy and meat was dry 5/10 also tried the clam chowder (watery and lacked flavor) 4/10 the best thing were the fires tbh. I will come back and see if they can get the food figured out. If not I'll stick to the beers (which are always good) read more

Always a favorite! Love the service, vibes and food/beer. Love going with my friends and just hanging out

My waiter, Issac was delightful and attentive! He out did himself! The food was good. Wings and French onion soup were delicious - the fish & chips were to go. I had the fish & chips on previous visits, it's a decent meal - as you can see I ordered it for later. Great experience! read more
