Love the Brew Kitchen Ale House! This first time I came, I ordered The Sancho burger, and it was cooked to perfection- it has a nice kick as well. Since then I've ordered the New Yorker pizza, which is now my go-to and personal favorite. It has ricotta cheese and everything seasoning on the crust, which are some of my favorite toppings! I also enjoy the cheap chopped salad and the creme brûlée cheesecake is a must! Staff are always friendly and will let you know of daily specials. read more

Lived in the area for years and noticed this spot over time,..... it's always slammed. (Just never grabbed my attention) so today we were wanting to try something different lol..... and we stopped here today. Sooooo lucky it wasn't slammed yet :) Our server Mario was fantastic muchas gracias!!! Today I had the sancho (burger) very yummy. And the hubby had another sorry don't remember the name.....but he enjoyed it. Next time I will try the pizza looks yummy as well. Can't believe it's our first time here :) read more

I've been here once before a LONG time ago. I remember it not being very memorable... not bad but not amazing. But the festive Christmas decor drew me in to try it again as I had been seeing several posts on social media about this place. I went with a friend on a Wednesday night mid-December and it was very busy. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too long. We each had 1 cocktail and shared an appetizer. I got "How The Minze Stole Christmas" and she got "...and a Whiskey in a Pear Tree". She liked hers but I did not. OMG was mine M I N T Y. And not good minty either. Like toothpaste minty. I was gonna try to "deal with it" and drink it but there was no choking that thing down. I told the waiter and he got me a different cocktail; which I appreciate. I tried Rudolph's Hot Toddy but asked to have ice added as I don't care for hot beverages. I didn't really care for that one either but managed to drink the majority of it as I didn't want to send a second drink back. The pretzel bites that we shared were tasty. read more

I visited this establishment along with my mother for the first time to have evening rations the 14th of August 2025. My mother ordered spaghetti and meatballs. She was happy with the spaghetti. I ordered "The Standard" which was a cheeseburger. It was one of the best burgers I had at least in quite a while, st least as good as Red Robin. The burger was so good it was worth the diarrhea that came later. The fries were pretty good albeit with a bit much seasoning. We both had "wooder" to drink. The quality of the food was the best part of my visit. The rest of the experience was not as good. The men's washroom was reasonably clean but it lacked any paper towels. I consider the lack of paper towels to be a sanitary issue as I use paper towels to not only shut the faucet off after I wash my hands but also to open the door. So I am deducting one point I have a bone to pick with at the appearance of at least some if not all of the guys who work at this establishment. I noticed that the guys who were working wore their shirts untucked. I consider that to be very unprofessional. I am OCD about that . I am dinging this establishment one point for employees wearing shirts untucked. After my food was served, I noticed that there was no cheese on the burger. So I had the burger sent baçk and the issue was corrected. I am dinging this establishment one point as the burger should have been done correctly the first time. I asked for more "wooder" and it took quite awhile before more was brought. I'm dinging this establishment another point. If I was to assign a letter grade like is done in school this establishment would get an F. read more

The food and service at Bree Kitchen Ale House were excellent and we loved that they offered healthy options, like the salmon dishes we ordered. The ambiance was great! Very kitschy--it was after Christmas and they had the place decked out in holiday decor! The hubs and I will definitely be back here. It's a family friendly atmosphere, so we may even bring the kids! read more

This is my kind of place. Just a shame that it's on the other end of the county. This is the perfect place to come when your group is in the mood for different kinds of food. They have a wide variety of options with something to please everyone. The environment is very casual with a bar area and sports on the tvs. My friend had their acclaimed hamburger and my wife tried the massive "not yo mama's" grilled cheese. I was in a pizza mood and had the 3 meat combo. Everyone was happy with their food. From Brew to Alehouse you expect a great beer selection and they deliver. They have a wide variety with some real rare finds. But don't worry if you're not a beer fan. They have a full bar with lots of specials. Good attentive service. I will be back when in the area. read more

I'm so sad because we love the food here and have had great service in the past, but at this point I don't think we'll come here again. This review is 100% about the (teenage girl) hostess. We have now gone here on two occasions and had to put up with her apathy. The first time we didn't have a reservation, so that was our bad. I do think she could have been much more friendly and also offered to put us on a list for a table with an estimated wait time, but she just kind of said they were full and that was it. This time we made a reservation, but when we arrived (about 7 min before the reservation time), the restaurant still did not have a table available for us. She basically shrugged her shoulders and was like "Yeah, it's kinda crazy today." She said if we wanted we could wait for a table outside. I asked about the wait time, and she liked annoyed but said about 30 minutes. The manager needs to train this employee better on her customer service and also how to honor reservations (or don't take reservations if you can't honor them). read more

Food was really incredible! We loved the mixture of flavors, definitely unique! We had Nacho Mamas grilled cheese and Sancho burger were delicious! Service was personable, pleasant and met every question and request as if we were the only ones there. Great fun ambiance, with outside seating available too. Oh then the dessert ....churros to die for! Nutella, ice cream, cream drizzled with caramel and chocolate! And warm....YUM to everything. Sad we're only passing through or we'd be back a lot! Thank you! A delicious find! read more

Brew Kitchen Ale House is a popular local establishment in Los Alamitos for a reason. I stopped by yesterday with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful experience. Our server was extremely hospitable and overall provided us with top notch service! The drinks here are on point and I'd very much recommend their 'Watermelon Jolly Rancher Slushy'. A friendly guest who was seated at the table next to us recommended their Fish Tacos so my boyfriend ordered those and I opted for their Chicken Parmesan. It came with a side of spinach as well and I loved it! My boyfriend really enjoyed his Fish Tacos as well so I'd recommend that as well to anyone dropping by for a bite! Overall I'll be back to try their popular pizza's and I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great bite and drinks! Support your local businesses! read more

This place is incredibly underwhelming with terrible service. We ordered our drinks and it took 30 minutes to get an old fashion. The server forgot to take our food order...I had to remind her. Food items were missing things, fajitas were way over prices and the small amount of meat comes on an insanely huge pile of onions and peppers. Like a ridiculous amount. Sooo much time in between our server checking on us and bringing our check. She was sweet, bless her soul, but just not up to par. It wasn't even busy. The silver lining of this place is there Caesar salad and Mac n cheese. I would come back for that alone but would probably order pick up so I don't have to deal with the ridiculous service. Overall would not recommend this place. There's much better options out there. read more

The holiday decorations created a festive ambiance that greeted us even from the parking lot! It was pretty busy for a Sunday night, but our server, David, got us a fantastic booth. Service was impeccable, the other patrons were lively, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We did the build-your-own Mac & Cheese, with short rib and Roma tomatoes. It was absolutely divine! We also had the veggie salad, and I must say, I'm air-frying my Brussels sprouts and artichoke hearts at home from now on! Overall, 10/10, would visit again! read more

Had a horrible experience here a couple weeks ago. The first time my fiancée and I went our server was amazing and he went above and beyond.. This last time we took a group of friends because of that first great experience.. & our server was the absolute worst.. She kept forgetting to put orders in. We also waited 35 mins for our first round of drinks. We expected at least a meal or drinks comp or something but nope nothing was comped .. there was no manager or anyone "in charge" of the place. We weren't the only upset table. We saw like 2 other tables upset asking for a manager read more

TLDR: Finishing the review started on Aug 19, 2016 for my record. This is a great local spot. Modest, warm, with good burgers and a welcoming vibe for beers with friends. Would I Return?

5 of us went to celebrate my sister-in-laws birthday. Had a wonderful experience. Jesus was our server and was very attentive. We had the pepperoni pizza, margherita pizza, steakhouse salad, tex-mex enchiladas and short rib lasagna. Everyone loved what they ate! The birthday girl got a free dessert and the rest shared the churro dessert and white chocolate cheesecake. They were delicious! It was my first time here and I'm definitely coming back. Great variety of dishes and we enjoyed ourselves. Great food and excellent service! Thanks! read more

The worst experience in a restaurant I have ever experienced. First, it took us 1 hour, I repeat ONE HOUR to get 4 cocktails and 1 beer. Our cocktails finally came, then it took another 15 minutes for the beer to come. Then, on top of that our food took an hour and Half to come. We were all so hungry, we ate our kids leftover food because they ordered when we ordered appetizers. The German pretzel was half cold and our calamari never came. They didn't clear any plates and they even forgot to enter one of our meals so that never came. There was no manager and apparently nobody knew how to take anything off our bill which is BS. We left no tip, but honestly, they should have just comped our whole bill. If you want to get the worst experience in a restaurant ever, go here, otherwise....go somewhere where they actually take care of their customers. read more

One of my faves! Great food and ambiance. They have Pliney and other great beers on draft. I enjoy their pizza and their burgers too. Definitely will support this local establishment any day! read more

Ever feel like you're inconveniencing the staff by asking for a table? Ever feel like you better leave before you give them your hard earned money? Really disappointing to feel discouraged from spending money in a restaurant but thankful it happened before we ordered. Food has been good in the past, great beer list, woeful customer service. Business is good so they don't need mine. Hopefully they won't need it in the future because that was our last attempt. read more

Tried coming on a Friday night about 5:15pm. Two adults and one kid. Very few people in the restaurant (counted about 20 open tables). We were offered a high top table outside right by the front door that appeared to have a broken chair or told we would have to wait about 25 minutes. We decided to leave. Second time this has happened. Not sure why the service has gotten so bad. Probably won't be back. read more

Wonderful food, service, ambiance. Support this local biz who also accepts reservations.

Stumbled upon this on our way to El dorado frontier. Wanted a kid friendly restwith good cocktails. Their decoration inside and out was extremely festive and we loved it. Seasonal cocktails were great. Food was good. I got the srircha house made sauce wings. We got there as soon as they opened so no wait at 4pm. read more

It was just ok. It was very loud when we were there...not sure if due to the tables next to us or if it is just this way. The Nacho Mama Grilled Cheese was recommended by our server. It was VERY dry. It needed some type of sauce and a little bit of heat The burgers looked good...but I didn't get to try them. Fries were good. Crispy. Thin. Nice saltiness. Server was very nice, but not that attentive. Had to wait a long time for water and for the check. Restaurant was clean. Bathrooms were interesting. Parking lot was tight. read more

Had a great burger and a couple of beers at Brew Kitchen Alehouse. Very good beer selection including Pliny the Elder on tap and great service.

Parking lot was a total pain, otherwise would get five stars. read more

We had an impromptu visit from our out of state relative and felt the Brew Kitchen was the best location for the 10 of us to show him SoCal hospitality(also great craft beers). Food was outstanding and we were offered outstanding service in a packed house. Always, a never disappointing experience when getting together with family in Los Al. read more

The pizza and pasta were good. I'd skip the garlic bread as it was hard and nothing special.

I ordered take out of a full size Mac and cheese.And was shocked by their portion size of what they considered "full size", and even called to confirm that this was correct. The food is always great here but unfortunately it seems like they're really cheaping out on the portion size- especially if you're paying base $22 for a dish- not even including the toppings! read more

Brew Kitchen Ale House - Full size food portions - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

The food was good, but we ate at the bar next to the service bar where the servers pick up their drinks for the guests. There was liquid where we were sitting and the bartender didn't bother to wipe it down and even placed our menus in the wetness. The entire time we sat there, there was strips of bacon just resting on a napkin on top of the bar mat. Eww! How about putting it in a container and in the fridge until you need a strip for one of your signature drinks. Some guests left the bar and right away a new couple wanted to sit at the bar, and the bartender handed a dry towel to a bus boy to wipe it down and I could still see crumbs from the previous guests on the bar. It needed a sanitary wet towel to help wipe down the bar properly. I also just didn't find the bartender's professional hearing talk about different people and such. Thank you! read more

Ok so food is pretty good. Service is good but can sometimes be slow. The reason for 3 stars is I ordered extra sauce for my burger, they charged 1.25 which is so wrong! and extra ketchup which I was also charged for.. a little extreme.. most restaurants just leave the ketchup bottle on the table. Come on!!! Just so you know when the burger originally arrived there was very little sauce on it which is why I asked for more. Not good business. read more

Came to the Ale House with my family we are visiting from AZ. What a treat we had in store for us. We're greeted by the owner and our server about the same time. Started off with some bacon wrapped dates and sriracha wings. They were fantastic. You can see the plates are mostly empty, had to get a pic before they were gone. My wife and I had a pepperoni and mushroom pizza that had the best crust and sauce I've ever had. Delicious. My family had the pork chops and a burger and both said they were awesome as well. The server did a great job and the bartender new how to pour a great drink. The locals and visitors have a nice establishment to get some great food and drinks and catch a game on the TV. It's nice to see smaller restaurants survive after Covid and continue to give great service despite not always getting enough staff at all times. Thanks for a special time with my California family. read more
