We had the most amazing first experience at Brunk's Steakhouse in Norco for my birthday dinner! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We arrived after 8pm ( they close at 9), and despite being late for our 7:30 reservation , we were welcomed so warmly. The service was absolutely i credible. Our server, Cameron, was attentive, kind, and checked on us frequently without ever being intrusive. We later found out it was her last day and that we were her final table- what a memorable experience! She truly went above and beyond. The food was outstanding. We started with the candied slab bacon, which was hands on the best bacon I've ever had. For our main course, we shared the dry aged bone in ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection- tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. To top it off, the owner, Nicole, came to our table to introduce herself and ask id we're celebrating anything special. When we mentioned it was my birthday. She surprised us with a tasting of their imported A5 Japanese strip Wagyu and incredible and generous treat that completely wowed us. She later shared her story of how she built her business, and it was truly inspiring to hear. As if that weren't enough, we were also brought a mini chocolate bundt cake with ice cream for dessert. Such a thoughtful and delicious way to end the evening! This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences i've ever had. The combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and personal touches made it unforgettable. Nicole truly embodies what hospitality should be. We will absolutely be back and will be recommending Brunk's Steakhouse to everyone we know! read more

Really disappointed with my recent experience at Brunks Steakhouse in Norco. I ordered the Berries Jubilee cocktail and later found out the bartender quietly substituted the Jason Mamoa's Meili Premium Vodka for Outfitters vodka instead without mentioning it at all. If a restaurant is out of an ingredient or wants to substitute a different liquor then advertised, that should absolutely be disclosed to the customer. I may have chosen a different drink entirely had I known. What made the experience worse was that when I politely asked about the substitution, the service completely changed afterward. I received virtually no service for the remainder of my visit, which felt very unprofessional. The overall atmosphere behind the bar also looked messy, with staff members' personal Starbucks cups and water bottles left cluttering the back countertop area. The issue isn't just the vodka itself -- it's the lack of transparency, professionalism, and customer service. Customers should receive what's advertised on the menu or at minimum be informed before substitutions are made. read more

I came here for lunch on a Saturday since it is pretty close to the cemetery where I spent my morning. There was a lot of empty seating. They have a lunch menu so I decided to order the smokehouse burger which was a bit cheaper than the other things on the menu. We also ordered a steak and calamari. The calamari was an appetizer but the portion was huge we were it as a meal. The burger was huge too I ate it in two separate parts. The steak was cooked to our liking and the butter on top was delicious! I would love to know the name of the butter flavor. The service was good too, our server shook my dad's hand which I thought was funny. Bathroom was nice as well and the overall ambience felt very country-like. read more

We went in with no expectations, saw steak place. It looked good. And we decided to give it a shot. And absolutely loved everything. The meats were well seared and seasoned. The sides were delicious. The service was phenomenal. They advertise it as an upscale steakhouse for this area. Not LA upscale, but like Norco area upscale. It had a very cute ambience very western totally fit the vibe of the city. I love how you can see where all the steaks are being aged. They have ties out front so you can tie up your horse and enjoy a meal. It was definitely a good experience. I will be back. There's other things I wanted to try. read more

We went in with big eyes and small stomachs--had to try everything The hanger steak was a hit, and I loved the lobster tail. Portions are definitely shareable, which we appreciated. I can already tell this spot is going to be a Norco go-to. Service was friendly, easygoing, and made the whole experience even better. And shoutout to the chefs, because wow... finger-licking good. Only note: noticed the American flag( above the bar) is folded incorrectly--something worth fixing. read more

I was in the area this past weekend and was recommended this restaurant as I was told they had recently started serving lunch. I didnt see any steak options as part of the lunch menu, so I went with the Chicken Chimichurri Sandwich. It came with fries and I also added on a side salad. The salad was amazing as the onions were soaked in a type of balsamic with fruit tones. They were SO good! The fries were really good also. Fries arent hard to mess up but not all places can do them well. These were really good. The sandwich I was a little underwhelmed with. I didnt taste any chimichurri which I was really looking forward to. It has arugula though which I am obsessed with and added great flavor to the sandwich! I definitely would have ordered a steak plate if it was offered for lunch. I did get the dinner menu as well and was told I could order from that. I also had a glass of the J Lohr Chardonnay and it was crisp and perfect. The service was impeccable. The gal that sat me and was my waitress was so friendly and attentive. What I believe was the manager came over and said hello and I shared it was my first time there and that it was recommended to me. I joked with my friend who is local to this restaurant I was going to go check it out, have lunch and maybe wrangle me a Norco Cowboy. I was the only one there for lunch, so that didnt happen but I will definitely come back for lunch again when I am in the area. Last little tidbit, I was really surprised they didnt have country music playing! :) read more

The food is cooked and seasoned to perfection . I do think they are overpriced Especially for the level of service. $24 for 2 ears of corn is a little much. I shared a plate with my husband and still paid over $200 for the meal read more

Good here is superb! They also have a meat market and we love going there. But imagine not just fresh steak from the butcher but they cook it for you! Not only do they cook it they serve yummy drinks! Came here for of course the steak, the drinks and the charcuterie board. This is the only place I can try the cheeses I would like or not. LOL. The owner here, Nicole is on fire! She knows how to run shop at all locations and she's always running in every direction to make sure her customers have a wonderful experience. The ambiance is nice here. You can actually see the cooks cooking if you're sitting close to the kitchen side. We don't have many steakhouses in our area and this one is hands down one of the best! If you're in the area give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is a great steakhouse! Great ambience with the meat cellar visible in the dining room and great country charm. Our server was attentive and had great energy and knowledge of the menu. He walked us through the menu and gave us great suggestions. The food was amazing! The candied bacon slab was tender with just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered the tomahawk steak, Mac and cheese, calamari and shishito peppers and lobster tails. Tomahawk steak melted in your mouth, Mac and cheese was cheesy but not over powering, calamari had a good light crispy coating and lobster tails were big and fresh! Expect to spend a pretty penny but worth it for the quality and freshness! Definitely will come back! read more

A new steakhouse in the neighborhood?!!! We had to try. It's a good 5-7 min drive from the fwy(depending on how you drive). It was a little on the pricey side for lunch but worth the experience. Upon arriving, with no reservations on a Wednesday afternoon, we were promptly seated and given the menus. We chose a lunch and a steak plate. It was alright. The fries were a little over seasoned aka too salty. Requested a hot sauce and they mentioned that they do not have it, but they offered some kind of chipotle ranch which turned out to be $3++ for that sauce. Could have mentioned it prior. It was all good. The place is clean, cozy with a full bar available. Parking is ample. read more

I had an unexpectedly great experience at this steakhouse, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. While you'd normally come here for the steaks, I decided to switch it up and ordered the chicken fettuccine along with the steak frites--and both dishes were seriously impressive. The chicken fettuccine was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was cooked just right, and the chicken was tender and flavorful, not dry at all like you sometimes get at other places. It had that comforting, homemade feel but with a more elevated, restaurant-quality touch. The steak frites, though, were the highlight. The steak was cooked exactly to my liking--juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor with a great sear on the outside. The fries were crispy and fresh, pairing perfectly with the steak. You can tell they pay attention to quality here. The atmosphere was also on point--nice balance between upscale and relaxed, making it perfect for a date night or even just a solid dinner out. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, even if you're not strictly in the mood for a traditional steakhouse order, this place delivers across the board. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Visited Brunks during their first week (soft opening/limited menu) and we were thoroughly impressed. Everything ran so smoothly during the soft opening, we thought they had been open longer. We ordered the filet mignon, flat iron, Cesar salad, Brussel sprouts and Zinfandel wine. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the brussel sprouts were also amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't do dessert because they only had an ice cream dessert (we are NOT ice cream people). Our server assured us the full menu will definitely have some options. The only (and I mean ONLY drawback were the short barstools for the high bar top). We met Nicole Brunk (one of the owners) and she said they were working on getting the taller barstools :) Overall, the food was AMAZING, the servers were all excellent and the owner was incredibly nice and helpful. We can't wait to come back when they have the full menu available. read more

Food was excellent BUT the problem we had was the table we sat at towards the back was not stable and kept shaking so we had to move. There wasn't any space between the chairs to even sit so we had to pull the table out. Then to top it off it was freezing inside the restaurant. Our food got cold so quick. We even asked the waitress if it is always this cold in here and she said yes because the owner likes it that way. She then Said many people request to move. It wasn't just us cold because one lady put on her sweater on and another couple who came in kept pointing at the ac vent and shivering. So like I said food was excellent but the sitting arrangement and how cold it was in there made it not comfortable. read more

I'm new to Norco, with that said, I like to eat and shop locally. I'm stubborn about it lol. I came here on, last minute idea during fathers day super late in the day. They were busy BUT they took me in at the bar area. The bar tender again was busy but super friendly and helpful and honest. I got the Porter house steak, phenomenal. Paired with brussel sprouts (might be better than the steak lol) and some creamy mash potatoes. The restaurant is cozy and lively, I will go back during lunch and then for a random dinner. Plus we got to chat with the owner at the end. Again, great service. Really good steak and brussel sprouts lol. I have read a few complaints online about the prices, don't let that stop you. #1 you get what you pay for and #2 it's only a bit more more compared to others but better and it's our home town. read more

In honor of Brunk's, I will take the day off on the anniversary of their Grand Opening. SERIOUSLY good steaks!! And customer service. Mrs. Yelper and I planned to stop by for just for a drink and appetizers at the bar. We were partially successful--we sat at the bar..,but due to peer pressure from Ryan, we "split" (translated: I ate it all) a stunningly beautiful Porterhouse. All is right with the world. We will be back. read more

Brunk's Steakhouse - Medallions. Pure gold. - Steakhouses Near Me - Norco, California

We entered the restaurant and the inside was busy for a weekday. It was a business meeting being held. Not very conducive for that due to the noise level and acoustics. I had the steak and fritters, cook as ordered and the fries were good. I'd rate them as a little too salty. My friend had the flat iron steak, and enjoyed it. Cam was our server and was spot on. She topped up my soft drink before it was empty! Excellent server!!! Overall was a positive experience, the food was good and we enjoyed our meals. "I'll be Back!" read more

I have been here 3 times. The first 2 experiences were amazing. The Steak Ribeye and Porterhouse were cooked to perfection. Also their Wedge Salad was so delicious. The 3rd time I came me and my wife decided to order Wedge Salads. I had mine with Steak. They brought hers out first and it took at least 10 extras minutes to bring mine out and by that time she was done. They should have planned to bring out at the same time. On top of that my wedge salad was smaller than normal and barely any dressing, I had to ask for more dressing. Secondly we decided to share a Porterhouse steak ($89) which the time prior it was huge and cooked to perfection. When we got it we noticed it was smaller then the last time we ordered but worst of all It had absolutely NO Seasoning and no taste. We had to add so much salt to add flavor. We let the chef know and instead of asking to recook one for us He only gave us $17 off a $89 Steak. It was a Huge disappointment, oh and they waiter gave us a free scoop of ice cream. But spending basically $100 on a Steak it should have been perfect or near perfect. This steak had NO flavor, No Seasoning. I don't know if we will return. It was a Big disappointment compared to our first 2 Visits. read more

Came here recently and was seriously impressed. Norco doesn't really have that "nice steakhouse" feel nearby, so this place was such a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially the bar area. It feels elevated but still comfortable and welcoming. We sat at the bar and had a great experience. The bartender was amazing, super friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. Honestly, the whole staff was warm and welcoming, which made a big difference. The menu has a great variety. Plenty of steak options along with salads, sandwiches, and sides, so there's something for everyone. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The drink selection also stood out. They offer a wide variety of alcohol, great cocktails, and a solid wine list. It's the kind of place you can come for a full dinner or just enjoy a drink at the bar. They also have a lunch menu, which is a nice bonus and gives us another reason to come back. Overall, such a great addition to Norco. Good food, great drinks, excellent service, and a really nice vibe. Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

Pros: cute inside. Service was amazing and knowledgeable. Food was GOOD! Sauces were yummy. Salad portion is HUGE. Cons: expensive! One chicken sandwich with side salad and water $36!? Like...it was good, but that's a stretch. Echoing inside. I'm glad there wasn't a lot of people when I went- high ceiling room where all the tables are- I imagine it gets LOUD. Location. It's an odd one. I just stumbled upon it while driving around haha Tried: chipotle chicken sandwich YUM. Cesar salad- good, lots of dressing!! Chimichurri chicken sandwich, delish!! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! The inside is beautiful, cozy, and has such a great atmosphere. I'm so happy we finally have a steakhouse in Norco. I've been here twice already, and the quality of the food has been outstanding every time. The steak is truly unmatched. So far I've tried the filet, bone-in ribeye, Brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, shrimp cocktail, and wedge salad, and every dish has been delicious. It's clear they put a lot of care into both the food and the overall dining experience. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Expensive and quality of food did not really stand out. We were sad since we waited a while to try the place.

I was super impressed finding this gem of a steakhouse in an old Circle K building in the middle of a Norco neighborhood. I needed a last minute Valentine's Day reservation and was able to book super easy online with two spots left. We arrived 40 minutes early and were able to wait at the bar to enjoy a drink waiting for our table. Strawberry lemon drop and old fashioned were excellent though $25 for an old fashioned seemed high, could've been the brand but super smooth. Vday was limited to a prefix menu starting at $125 a person but included everything we would've ordered and more. There were other add on items but didn't seem necessary. My only recommendation is that the complimentary bread not be so hard to bite. Wedge salads very delicious, calamari has great seasoning and not chewy, filet and strip steak cooked and seasoned perfectly as one would expect at this price point. Mashed potatoes and asparagus very good, and to finish the vanilla ice cream chocolate cake was perfect portion to end with. Overall the staff said this is still in soft opening phase since August 2025 and will have grand opening at end of this month February 2026. I would recommend this small restaurant to others to try as a local alternative to the bigger steakhouses. I look forward to seeing how this spot turns out, I imagine it'll only get busier and harder to get a reservation seeing how great this place is. read more

We came for my daughter's 18th birthday and the waitress asked if we had a reservation, I said no. She sat us down and no one came to us and we were waiting for 15 min. Other guests came after us and the other 2 waitresses went to them first. They gave the other people water and didn't come to us once to even ask if we would like something to drink. Both waitresses didn't even look at us once when I was staring at them to maybe get their attention. My family and I decided to leave. I thought this dinner would be special for my daughter's birthday because someone recommended this place but we felt they weren't attending to us because we are Mexican. They helped the other people first who looked white. When we got up and left, they still didn't even acknowledge us that we were leaving. I would rate this place a zero if I could for their service. Be aware if you are Hispanic! read more

Service was horrible, sat my family and I down and we waited for about 15-20 minutes and no one ever came to offer us water or give us menus. Other people who came in after had better service than us. We got up and left, none of the servers looked in our direction once while us being there nor as we were walking out read more

Went here for the first time last week. Had heard good things about them and have bought meat from their stores before. I knew it would be expensive, but for what they give you not worth the price, especially the drinks. The restaurant is small, but quaint, but loud if a lot of people in there. Our server was very good and attentive. Always checking to make sure we were ok. I tried to order the J'adore chicken they were out, then tried to order the salmon also out. Ended up with the hanger steak, very good, but they didn't have any chimichurri sauce. Not sure I will be going back anytime soon between the price and being out of multiple menu items. Feels like they still have a lot of things to work out. read more

Great steaks. We had an assortment. All cooked perfect. The mac & cheese is incredible, get the truffle oil added. The asparagus was not a good flavor profile for the 4 of us...less is more. Aspargus requires no goop on top ;) Wedge salad not very plentiful but full of great flavor. 6pm Wednesday was nice and quiet....for 30 minutes...then it was a full house and the noise level was so high we were shouting to hear one another. That wasn't great. Not a romantic date night. .groups of 10 easily accommodated. Next to us we witnessed the Real Housewives of Norco with enough silicone to rival Beverly Hills...lol. Great food. Pricey, but quality over quantity is what we were searching for. Waiter very young but did a great job. He's making some FAT tips in this place :) It was a nice dining experience overall. Glad they are here. read more

Brunk's Steakhouse is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and classic without feeling dated.

The sides are just as impressive, generous portions and full of homemade flavor that perfectly complement the main course. What really sets Brunk's apart is the consistency.

Brunk's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Norco, California

Date night, success! We've been looking for a steakhouse in the area that could deliver exceptional quality and craftsmanship steaks. The hunt was on, until we found Brunks. The hostess was super accomplished and very professional. (We had a reservation, but came in a little early). Note: book a reservation, it is practically mandatory. Our waitress was phenomenal. Mattea was super knowledgeable of the menu, answered our 21 questions, and checked on us regularly. (Didn't ever have to ask for refills). The food itself was outstanding. I had the Steak Frites (I consider myself an aficionado of the dish). While it is not a traditional version of the dish, the steak was exceptionally cooked and incredibly tender. The fries were cooked in tallow, and the roasted corn topping was an unexpected, and appreciated flare. My wife has the New York steak, which also was cooked to perfection. The ambiance is also super cool. Think- modern steak house meats Montana ranch bar. Totally recommend this place! read more

I'm a bit of a steak snob, I have to admit, so let's get right to it - my medium rare ribeye was PERFECT! It melted in my mouth. It had marbling that added great flavor and the butter on top was delicious. It needed absolutely nothing else - the quality of the meat spoke for itself. I can't wait to go back for another steak! I also got to try the mashed potatoes, which were creamy and delicious. My house salad was enjoyable and I could tell the ranch was house-made! The mushrooms were good as well. My other big highlight of the meal though was the White Lyon lemon ice cream. This is an exclusive to Brunk's - it won't even be served at White Lyon. It's a perfect pairing if you ask me, because a light refreshing dessert was great after a hearty steak and otherwise heavy meal. The ice cream tasted like a plain vanilla, but had lemon zest and lemon juice, a bit of salt, and then honey drizzle. I love nothing more than an Old Fashioned with my ribeye. My Old Fashioned was good, and I loved the double bourbon cherry, but I do wish it was one big ice cube instead of crunchy ice. The crunchy ice melted too fast/watered down the cocktail a bit. I was here for a private event before opening night, and I can't wait to return and try all the other side dishes - but I will never go and NOT order a medium rare ribeye. I'm craving it NOW! read more
