50 Best Bar & Grill near Buena Park

“A hidden gem found by accident as I stayed in the Doubletree by Hilton nearby. Excellent beef dish with sprouts and tried for the first time silkworm pulpo soup which was better than I expected once I got over the idea and look of it. Some drunk noisy obnoxious patrons to be expected but otherwise had a great meal in a small mom and pop Korean resto. Will definitely come back and try other dishes. The waitress was also very nice and although she could not speak very well English she was very polite, nice and attentive.“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“The atmosphere is this place is awesome. The seating is also pretty cool as you can eat upstairs where you can overlook at the water. The service was great too! The food was a solid as well. I got the winger which is like their classic burger and the waste em all. The winger was a decent burger and I would say the bun steals the show as it is perfectly toasted. The waste em all was a decent burger but the green chilis overtake the flavor of the burger. Overall, this place was great and I would definitely come back for the vibes and to try different burgers.“

“I have been a faithful customer fir years. Over the years I've tried many food on the menu. I have not had something I was displeased with. Appetizer are great and I was impressed with their dinner options. The service and atmosphere keeps me and friends coming back all throughout all year long.“

“I stopped by after many years and I am so glad I did. The quality of the food truly impressed me. The barbecued pulled pork sandwich was incredibly tender and packed with rich, satisfying flavor. I also enjoyed a perfectly balanced Amaretto Sour that complemented the meal beautifully. The potato salad was fresh and delicious, adding the perfect touch to the plate. Everything tasted wonderful and made the visit completely worth it. A solid five star experience.“

“I’ve been going to Brian’s sports bar since my college days at Cal State Fullerton from 1979 through 1984. Great place to have food, share laughs. and have an ice cold beer.“

“Yummy 😋 first time ever, in the heart of 2nd Street and I can't believe I've never been here. I havent eaten beef in a decade, unsure but had a taste for it today. 🤩 We shared all the goodness, short rib pizzzzzzza, BBQ scrumptious and so juicy burger, along with the poke tostada, which was piled high with aoli and fresh tartar.

The staff sets this place apart, all are welcoming, inviting and make you feel like your neighbors, including recommendations that melt in your mouth. Had to get a piece of swag memorabilia ie; truckers hat.....so much gratitude. They always say it's not just the food, yet who was a part of the taste test that matters.......highly recommended, scrumptious and delicious 😋“

“We are new in the area and were looking for a local friendly place to relax with a drink and some good food. What we found was a way beyond. The ladies greeted us two strangers with big smiles and huge welcomes. They quickly offered us drinks and menus then, gave us the low down on specials and a lil history of the bar. We felt at home immediately. That was just the beginning! The bloody marys were on point, freshly made (no mix crap), and the food! We ate every bit of it! Onion rings are fresh and crispy, Italian Sub also crispy with a great blend of meats, cheese, and peppers, and I believe he had the pastrami. It was almost all over when we said pics! So excuse the sloppy pics, but dont miss the cameo of that delish bloody mary and beer back! A great Go-To place! So happy we found The Marlin, we will be back. Thank you for a great time!“

“I have been going to Griffins for a few years and I’ve had nothing but good experience. The servers are awesome. Bartenders are awesome. The owner and his wife are totally totally awesome. I give them a total five on everything it’s worthy.“

“Definitely going back food was amazing“

“I rated this based on typical bar food. It’s better than most. Nachos are really good, hamburger also good. Fish and chips too. It’s not usually crowded. They have a pool table and darts. Tons of TVs but a nice assortment of sports. Last time we were there they had basketball but also golf and figure skating. And best of all, it’s not expensive compared to most places in the area.

Vegetarian options: Not a ton of options but there’s nachos, fish and chips (if you eat fish) and probably a few others.“

“Great atmosphere and service was great Katrina and Jen were great“

“This is my new favorite spot! Dropped by after Disneyland they have 2 pool tables and pool was even free til 5 so we got 2 games in free. Drinks were reasonably priced and food was just unreal. Can't wait to come back again next time we're in town.“

“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

“I have to admit that my expectations were not high. Look, it's a base facility and I've been on a few over the years. But I ordered the plank steak, which was called something like, Special Forces something or other, and I'm sorry for not remembering. Anyway, the steak was really, really, thick and very flavorful. It was really tender too. I have to admit I was blown away. I honestly don't know about their consistency to serve it the same way all the time, but wow, it was really good and the price was also excellent. The only thing I wish they would of offered would of been a baked potato, because although you do get two sides, other than the veggies, I wasn't really sold on the others. Would I eat there again?...yes!“

“Always a good time at the swig!“

“Nice little joint will be coming back“

“Great Bartenders Great people fast tables …“

“Biggest Bucs bar in California !“

“excellent bar and live music venue. service was excellent and the bar tab was fair.“

“Killer entertainment. Go Latin Soul Band.“

“Typical food you find in any bar seating. Beer, burgers, wings, etc. The Cowboy Up burger was a great option though and very enjoyable. The bun was so fluffy and buttery which made the toppings come together so well. The fries were delicious as well. And our waitress did a great job taking care of our table. There was a singer with a guitar there on Friday night which was fun.“

“Been to many many a bar in my lifetime. Scratch's is definitely top 3 for me. Huge brew selection, fair prices, great food, very comfortable atmosphere and it seems to be a magnet for very attractive women. Love the dart league

Parking: There are good number of spots in front of the location and then there is a huge shared parking lot with home Depot and del Taco that isn't being used by the other businesses later in the night and is never full in the day anyway.“

And the ladies in the restaurant are awful pretty and make great food. The one name connie is a treasure.??“

“If you golf this is a classic example of a hidden gem, old school simplicity. Nice place to relax after a round or after the driving range, Not too busy and they are trying to bring in more people by having live music. Nice alternative to have a simple meal if you live in the area.“

“Good service and good food“

“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.“

“Went for the first time last night as we are visiting from Las Vegas. We absolutely loved it. The service from both the servers and owner were subpar. The food and drinks were to die for, especially the food. We got to enjoy karaoke singing from the other patrons. The owner was extremely accommodating towards my service dog. He had a few questions which is normal but he said he had never had one in his establishment before us. Will definitely be back when we are in town ?? Lots of love from us! Thank you for making it a special night.“

“The kitchen staff is top notch! It is apparent the kitchen staff takes great pride in the delivery of your plate. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Guy Fieri raid this joint! Live music and drinks too!!!“

“My Family and I went there for the first time to see Anthem Road (great band) but will definitely make this Bar one of our Go to places. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Very friendly people that work there“
