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.“

“Hands down the best burgers in Southern California.“

“The BBQ skewers are the standout. Perfectly grilled, well-seasoned, and consistent across the board. You can tell they’re not cutting corners on quality or technique. Every skewer comes out hot, flavorful, and balanced—not overly greasy or dry, which is where a lot of places fail.

The drink selection is equally solid. Whether you’re into something light or stronger, they’ve got options that pair well with the food instead of overpowering it. No gimmicks, just well-made drinks.

What really ties it all together is the vibe. The music is on point—present but not intrusive—and the whole place has a relaxed, unpretentious energy. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually unwind without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.“

“I really love the Restaurant. I go every year with Family Friends .I love the Decorations in the Restaurant ,my only issue is that it took us a long time to get a table but we did come a very busy time. They tried there best to get us a table.“

“If you're missing your favorite hole in the wall bar or want to find a new one Tracy's is the spot to hit. The staff treat you like family and the locals are just as good. The environment you'll find yourself surrounded in will make you forget that time is a thing lol. 10/10 will recommend to anyone in the long Beach area.“

“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.“

“Have been here several times.
Most memorable was when my best friend's picked me up after a 3 week vacation and brought me here.
Katie welcomed us with a huge smile. She was professional, customer oriented and genuinely caring and friendly. Thank you!!“

“The food and prices were great but the service was exceptional. I do not remember their names but two women both with red hair were very attentive. The bar was absolute packed but they frequently checked in on us and were very accommodating. Would love to come here again.“

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

“The service was great and the staff was friendly. The band that played was awesome (Muffler). The food was good, and the prices were fair. However the big screen TV's could use an upgrade. It would not be my first choice to go watch a game as the TV's were old and the picture quality was pretty bad. If they upgrade the TV's I would upgrade my rating.“

“Great spot on base that’s absolutely worth the visit. Getting in is straightforward. Just show your ID at the guard gate and you’re good to go.

Once inside, the vibe at Fiddler’s Green Pub is laid back, friendly, and surprisingly lively for a military base pub. Prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re grabbing a casual lunch or winding down after a long day.

The standout for me was the onion rings: crispy, golden, and seriously addictive. Easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Overall, a fun, welcoming place with good food, good prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming back.“

“I have been going to Griffiths for quite a while to watch the games. Enjoy company there foods excellent service is excellent. No complaints about that place. I love it.“

“Definitely going back food was amazing“

“We actually ended up at Salty Dawg Tavern by mistake because of a mix-up with our plans, but what a happy accident! This place is a total gem that we never would have discovered otherwise.
The food was great, the waitresses were super nice and friendly, and the overall vibe in the tavern was so much fun. It felt like the perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable time.
Highly recommend stopping in — even if you find it by accident like we did! We'll definitely be back on purpose next time. 🐶🍻“

“The newish bartender Amanda is great! I hadn't been to the bench in a while and I found the food offerings to be really good. Sometimes the salsa could use more heat(you have to ask for the non gringo version) but otherwise great all around. I will keep coming back for Amanda for sure. World cup games on almost every screen is great too“

“Always a good time at the swig!“

“Nice little joint will be coming back“

“🙂👍 Oscar is a great bartender!“

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

“Killer entertainment. Go Latin Soul Band.“

“Bottom Line Up Front:
Hennessy's Grill is a pub and restaurant that serves food, drinks, and fun -- with awesome deals during the week.

The Food:
My party had lunch here specifically for the Thursday deal: $7 smash burgers. And we were pleasantly surprised to find out that not only was each smash burger huge (two cheese patties with bacon) but it also comes with fries. What a deal! Though it doesn't come with lettuce and tomatoes, and it was a little greasy, the smash burger was large, juicy, and satisfying. The fries were also really good; crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside.

The Service:
Our server was friendly, knowledge, and quick to respond when we asked for help. She also did us a solid by providing a side of lettuce (so my mom could get her veggies in) without charging us extra.

The Atmosphere:
Picture an Irish (American) pub and that's exactly what you get here. Fun decor, TV screens, wood furniture, and a bar area. There's also a small covered outdoor area facing Main Street.

The Parking:
There's a very small parking lot but there's a free street parking. Just note that they fill up quickly during peak hours.

The Conclusion:
If you're looking for good (but not amazing gourmet) food in a lively place near the ocean, Hennessy's Grill will serve up a good time. Plus, look for different deals during the middle of the week if you're looking to stretch your dollar.“

“Great Ribeye! Slightly crispy on the outside and juicy throughout. Also had their homemade Apple Cider Sorbet which was so delicious!We sat in the booths so it was a very classy, cozy atmosphere. Great for taking the parents or in-laws out for a special occasion or just for a nice piece of steak.“

“Nice atmosphere and good service, friendly staff and great food. The drinks are also great“

“honestly i was expecting a basic golf course bar with nothing but bud light and old peanuts but it actually has a solid craft beer selection including a couple local ipas i hadnt tried before. grabbed a burger and it was cooked perfectly with fresh toppings even though it took a little longer than i hoped to come out. the view from the patio looks right over the course so it a nice spot to just hang out and the servers were super friendly even when it got busy. my only small thing is the parking lot is kind of a mess especially on weekend afternoons with people dodging golfers. definitely will be back for the beer list alone even if im not playing that day.“

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

“After a long day of travel, we were just looking for a good place to eat. The VUE delivered! And we didn’t have to leave the hotel! Thank you Miguel for the excellent service!“

“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.“

“This is a great place to golf and practice and putting. The employees are special and go out of their way to make your experience special. The owners are hands on. Just ah great place to be. And the ladies in the restaurant are awful pretty and make great food. The one name connie is a treasure.??“

Parking: Sincé the bar is inside the hotel, you can Park at the front or at the parking lot next to the hotel, is like 2 min walk to the bar.

Kid-friendliness: Definately suitable for Kids, nice and clean place, awesome Job DoubleTree ??“
