I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. forever to be seated, . Once we were finally seated, the service was ridiculous slow. The food, when it did arrive, was underwhelming at best--cold and bland. It was clear that the kitchen was not operating efficiently. Overall, a frustrating experience from start to finish. Definitely won't be coming back. Our server was really nice tho he didn't charge us full price read more

We ate here for Sunday brunch and had their breakfast charcuterie board which was enough to feed 3 of us and my son ears a lot. The bottomless mimosas was a fair deal at $20 per person Good place will probably return but the Orange circle is busy, luckily there is free parking at various places read more

Came here with my husband on a busy Sunday (Chapman students graduation day) and were craving some burgers/sandwiches. We were seated quickly and ordered some wings as appetizers. The menu didn't say they were spicy but they were very spicy (so be careful when you order). We also ordered the spicy nashville chicken and 1886 burger with chips. The servers didn't give us any utensils or even napkins and no one came by in time for us to waive down so we got up and got our own napkins that were placed near the door. The chicken sandwich wasn't as spicy as advertised (the wings were much more spicier) and the well done burger we ordered came in rare so we asked for a redo and the server finally came back with a well done burger (yay). Overall, we didn't really enjoy the experience but since it's a brewery I'm sure food quality doesn't matter. Fortunately though, they did give 50% off on the burger and marked it as an error on their part, so at least there was that! read more

Excellent beer and food in the great location of Old Towne Orange. The poutine was a great appetizer. A great place to meet with friends. I will he a repeat customer. Great service, too. read more

Every experience here is a great one, everyone is very kind and helpful so this is a spot to recommend. I came here for my birthday and got the 3 course with of course the waffle bartered chicken strips , BLT Benedict and pancake bites for the dessert. I ordered the choir of angels and it's never a miss, one of my favorite here. I did feel like the BLT Benedict was missing something flavor wise, maybe some smoked paprika on top. I also got to try the chili verde poutine and that it's a great portion for two people. It was very well made and I would recommend sour cream on the side to top it off! read more

Nice spot for lunch or dinner! I came here for a quick meetup with some former coworkers and really enjoyed lunch!! The service was quick, the food was a good sized portion and the fries were delicious! Their Diet Coke is perfectly crispy and it comes in a massive glass, we all thought it was hilarious. I've passed by in the evenings and it seems pretty crowded, but for lunch on a weekday I wouldn't think there is a wait. I would come back! read more

Very beautiful spot! Gotta give that. However, we're giving low ratings. We ordered a spicy nashville chicken and 1886 burger with chips and a side of wings. First, we weren't offered napkins and coasters.( I got up and took them myself!) Second, the food took well over 30 minutes to arrive on a Sunday evening where there were about 50 guests. Starting with burger, as we ordered well done, it came rare! Spicy nashiville chicken was not spicy. As a matter of fact, wings were about 5 to 6 times more spicy than the Nashville spicy chicken. House chips were so stale that at some point, it felt chewing on rubbery gum! It was a disappointing experience, unfortunately. Note they offered 50 % off the burger and marked it as kitchen error. read more

I came here with my book club and the hostess and waitress were both very attentive and had great suggestions for food. We mentioned that one of the sauces for the cauliflower was bland and the waitress overheard us and brought us another sauce to try that was great. I had the Dunda Dunda burger and it was like and In N Out burger on steroids. The waitress also recommended a strawberry mule that was also really good. Just good bar food read more

The wait to be seated was more than 10 minutes, but the service was worth it. The food and presentation was up there, and so was the taste. But I was so full that I could barely make a dent in it. Cobb salad was pretty decent for a salad, and the pie was not too heavy yet filling. The ceviche left more to be desired, however. The server was kind by bringing more elderflower liqueur along for the cocktail. The only thing is their alcohol variety, hoped to see more ciders or other fruity beers on tap. read more

The burgers are advertised as "impossible" burgers, but came out as black bean burger for everyone at our whole table. Without notice or any description - they are actually NOT "impossible burgers". The waiter also dropped our drinks, forgot other people's drinks, and then charged us for the dropped drinks. Would not return. read more

Service and food is absolutely on point!! I was hoping for bottomless mimosas to be available but the flight is just as worthy! The ambiance is very relaxed and an older crowd (30's-60''s). That being said, I've always visited during brunch hour and it's a fantastic place to be at. Our server today was Joseph A. and he was excellent as well. Attending to our needs and timing of food/ drinks arriving was perfect. Thanks for everything! We'll definitely be back. read more

Solid brewery with good food and beer~ 1886 brewing is located in orange circle, parking can be tricky since it's all street and can get very crowded. We came on a Saturday around noon and restaurant was not too full. There is indoor seating in the front and outdoor seating in the back. For drinks we got the IPA and Oktoberfest ale, both were super refreshing, the IPA is definitely a must get for a beer lover. For food we got the pretzel ($13), ceviche ($17), and the poutine ($16). The poutine was the star of the show, it had generous amount of pork with gravy and cheese. It wasn't overly greasy and perfect for sharing! The ceviche was fresh but wasn't the best, it needed more salt. The pretzel was huge! It had a good salty outside crust, cheese sauce could have been better but overall solid. Very filling food and service was friendly and fast. Would love to try the sandwiches here my next visit! read more

Came here the other day for a girls date and was pleasantly surprised with how good the lunch menu is! I have been here before, but for brunch and I absolutely loved the charcuterie board breakfast (not shown) and shared this amongst two other girls and it was the perfect portion to try a little of everything. But this time I was here for lunch and the burger was very juicy and the truffle fries were amazing. I'm glad that the waitress was very helpful because she made this recommendation. I got the blue cheese cheeseburger, except I sub the blue cheese for a cheddar (dont judge me) but I would definitely reorder! Also, the staff was really friendly, it wasnt a busy day, so occasionally the manager and waitress were chatting with us. Also this place is a dog friendly! Overall a great restaurant choice, Im glad we came here! read more

I've been here a few times. I love the atmosphere. It's great for a nice dinner or watching a football game with friends. Both inside and outside are lovely. The service is always top notch. Every person I've spoke with there, host, server, bartender, management have so be fantastic. The beer and cocktails are awesome but the food is the star. The Brussel sprouts are excellent, budgets are solid, meatloaf is good and my most recent meal, the Chicky Chick Parm Parm was so freaking good. It was a big sandwich as the chicken was huge. It might just be the best chicken parm sandwich I've had. It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was perfectly crispy without an ounce of dryness or burn. I'm thinking this is my next MNF/TNF and Happy Hour spot. read more

We have been going here on regular bases and I realized some beers are always marked tapped out. I really believe they don't brew them any more and instead of changing the sign they just but the sign on it. We usually get great service but on March 16th out waitress was very rushing and it was hard to get her attention when we needed something. Also we asked for a to go box and waited 10 15 min for her to bring it. I usually ordered the Chile verde poutine and it's soooo good. That's the obly reason I keep going back. read more

Very good food and great service. Love the giant drink glasses. Had the 1886 burger which was very tasty and cooked to satisfaction.

I'm visiting from Virginia. This place is awesome! Very relaxed atmosphere and beautiful in my eyes. We came for Happy Hour, so worth it!!! The beef sliders were so flavorful, also the chicken one but the beef one was my favorite. The fried cauliflower with the accompanying sauce was ok. However, their peanut butter pie is a must try, not typical of that type of pie. Loved it. Oh, and the house made beer (dark and red) were full of flavor! read more

If there are good vegetarian options available you can count on my 5 star review. This place is so easy to find in the heart of old town Orange. I ordered the south west patty and subbed an impossible patty. It was delicious and refreshing but did have a kick to it which I liked. read more

1886 Brewing - Inside on a Sunday evening - Brewpubs Near Me - Orange, California

This bar is located in the orange circle, close to the Chapman campus. I stopped by here on Sunday to have a drink. I'm always worried at breweries that they will have bad wine, but the wine was really good here! The bar was clean and they had lots of huge TVs to watch any sport that you were interested in. I wasn't there for very long, but had a good time While I was there. I want to go back to try the food. read more

This review is for Bryan M. I was in there yesterday with my son, Bryan was working behind the bar noticed I wasn't getting any service. He took it upon himself to leave the bar, take our order and made me feel seen. Thanks so much it really went a long way. read more

My best friend took me out for my birthday and we saw this place had a 3 course brunch meal. We decided to try two different appetizers (chicken tenders dipped in waffle batter and french toast sticks). These were actually delicious and very flavorful. Would definitely get these again. Now our main dishes were chicken & waffles and the Spanish omelette. I was very disappointed with the omelette. One the first bite, I had to spit it out. The texture was off, and the chorizo did not taste right. Once I was finally able to wave down our server, who was a bit distracted, and asked to switch out my main dish. She understood and put in my new order. Unfortunately it took 30 minutes for my new meal and the 3rd course of dessert. The classic breakfast was nothing to write home about and honestly fed the leftover eggs and bacon to my dog when we got home. For the 3rd course, we got the bread pudding and the pancake holes. These were good, but not great. The place was decently full but not packed. A lot of the staff talked among themselves so it wasn't a rush when we got there at 11:30. A bit loud as a party next to us was watching the football game but that's to be expected in a Sunday morning. read more

I had to change my review to 5 stars after coming here for brunch. Their Brunchuterie board is amazing! For $40 it's well worth it for all the food you get. This board can easily be shared among 2 people. Some of my favorite things from the board include the eggs, candied bacon, churro French toast bites, and strawberry cream cheese. For drinks, we ordered the strawberry mule forever and the Old Towne Orange creamsicle. Highly recommend both! Would love to come back to try some of their other brunch items. Also, our server was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Btw their brunch is only Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. read more

Stopped into 1886 Brewing in Orange and overall had a good time. The food is definitely the standout here--everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The beer, though, was just okay. A decent selection, but nothing really jumped out or wowed me. It's drinkable, but if you're coming for top-tier craft brews, you might not find your new favorite here. Still, the vibe is cool, the space is inviting, and the service was solid. I'd definitely come back for the food--and maybe try a different beer next time to see if something hits. read more

Stopped in with friends one evening - unplanned because we didn't want to deal with the waits at other nearby places that offered adult beverages and food as well. Walking in, we had to wait for the hostess and almost turned around to find another place before she appeared. I mentioned this because there seemed to be confusion or a lack of communication with staff. We were seated by the hostess then had to wait a while before being approached or greeted; felt like the servers didn't know who was assigned to our table. When we finally were approached, having waited for a while, we took the opportunity to place our entire order (drinks and food). Service was not attentive. Order was taken. Food was delivered. Then we had to wave our server over to handle an issue with one of the dishes. This was after the meal was over - as he/no one ever followed up. The issue was with the Poke Bowl (starter). If you've ever cut fish, there are sinews or connective tissue that should be excluded because it's tough and chewy; kinda hard to eat. Well, there was a portion that wasn't taken out if you've ever tried to eat it - you know how that can ruin an experience. The rest of the dishes were decent. I didn't take pictures as lighting wasn't great and my phone battery was in the single digit percent. But we got onion rings, wings and crispy Brussel sprouts. Those dishes we cleared and I'd say there were what we expected. The manager, don't remember her name, did come over to follow up, removing both the Poke Bowl and a friend's beer as he didn't touch it - his experience stopped when he tried to eat that chunk of fish - to rectify the situation. As for a return visit, living in LA makes it unlikely but if back visiting, either family and or friends, or my last college alma mater, and it was suggested, I'd consider it. Otherwise it's not a hard "no". Maybe? read more

Just stopped by for brunch after church this morning and so glad we did. The food was delicious, drinks were fantastic and our waiter was great! Cool vibe inside with numerous TVs for all the sports. I started off with a peach mimosa (soo good) definitely will be coming back to get the bottomless mimosas when we have more time. My hubby had a tasty Bloody Mary which came with a little side of beer for the michelada taste. We chose not to do the 3 course brunch this time but certainly will next time. We both got eggs Benedict's, I got the BLT Benedict's d he chose the chili verde Benedict both were amazingly tasty the hollandaise sauce was probably the best I've ever had and the dishes came with some yummy potatoes. We decided to end our meal with the pancake bites and just like everything else, these warm little pancake balls covered in raspberry sauce, were delightfully delectable! read more

nick and alison are the best servers. they are so welcoming and very good at their jobs.
