Steak
athena z.

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.

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.

Chicken Chimichurri Sandwich
Angie M.

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! :)

The charcuterie board, the cheese with some crystal bites are so good!
May Y.

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!

Tomahawk and lobster tail
Nancy E.

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!

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.

BRUSSEL SPROUTS (DELICIOUS)
Sandra D.

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.

Robert preps everything! He's the best at getting things done so the chefs can make their magic for YOU!

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.

The steaks are outstanding! had the surf n turf the lobster was a generous size and super tender and my filet mignon cooked to perfection... Brussels sprouts so delicious. The dessert.... I had the lemon ice cream and my daughter had the coffee ice cream brûlée amazing !! Highly recommend this steakhouse. Casual atmosphere and great service

Filler mignon mashed potatoes asparagus, strawberry lemon drop.

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.

You can see I ate my tomahawk faster than my wife could put her napkin on her lap.

See all

The Lanai is located in the Cravings food court area at The Station shopping center in Eastvale. There is plenty of parking available. We went inside to the Shuck Oyster bar and entered The Lanai from there. It is actually more of a tiki patio than an enclosed tiki bar. However, the tiki décor is great with plenty of bamboo, carved tiki figures, hanging puffer fish, tiki style signs, and many tropical accents. There are overhead fans spaced around in case it is hot outside. We had one round of drinks and several appetizers. The coconut shrimp and lightly battered Shishito peppers were great and the sauces paired well. We have had these appetizers at Stowaway before and they had the same good quality. She ordered the spicy tofu bites. I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but they were surprisingly really good. I had the Adrian's Mistake cocktail which was well balanced and a little on the strong side. She had the Right Of Passage which was good and had a light fruit flavor and you could definitely taste the mango. The one man show Brandon took great care of us. It was slow at this time of day so we got a chance to chat with him quite a bit and service was fast. They have a weekday happy hour from 4pm to 6pm. Although we didn't specifically order off the happy hour menu, three of our items, including both cocktails were part on it. I give it 4.3 stars but rounded up to five stars. I'm sure the ambience is much better in the evening when it more lively and dark outside. They have a good variety of munchies, and the cocktail menu has a good mix of tiki classics and some originals. I don't think there any many tiki bars in this area, so I hope they do well.

We went to another stall that told us they had a gas leak so the building had to be evacuated. We ended up going back to order Painkillers to sit on the patio. They're weren't great.

As it turned out, the place wasn't busy. A special treat was that a group of bluegrass musicians was jamming as we ate. Apparently they are there every Saturday morning. The ambience is quite dark and moody with wood paneling and minimal lighting that made me use my phone flashlight to read the menu more easily--more of the saloon vibe than a restaurant. But it fit the Western theme. The breakfast menu was pretty varied, the portions were large, and the food was pretty good, though not the best I've had. There was an error in one order, and I'll give the server slack because a group of ten is a lot to handle, but syrup arrived late for the pancakes, and butter and jam had to be requested for the biscuits. One odd thing was that they had no decaf coffee. The family was pleased. Overall, I'd call it a solid but not quite stellar choice for an old-fashioned breakfast in a theme setting.

Brew Haven is definitely the place to be -- they have a wide variety of beers, and for non-beer drinkers, the fact that they carry Budweiser options is a big plus.The girls behind the bar at Brew Haven were really nice and accommodating, great at recommending drinks, and overall provided excellent customer service, which honestly made the experience even better. The only downside was the limited food options. Inside the market, there were really only two choices: a chicken spot and a pizza place. We went with the pizza, and the pizza itself was really good. Unfortunately, the wings were extremely disappointing -- way overcooked and over-seasoned. Pro tip: there's a Wingstop literally right outside in the same parking lot. I'd recommend grabbing pizza inside and walking over to Wingstop if you're craving wings. Parking was very easy, and overall it was a fun night with great drinks, great music, and good vibes. I'd definitely come back -- just hoping to see more food options in the future.

Outstanding Service!…read more I had such a fantastic experience at this brewery thanks to Cisco who was truly exceptional. From the moment ordered- he was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about every beer on the menu. Their passion for the craft really showed--they offered thoughtful recommendations, explained flavor profiles in a way that made choosing fun, and even shared insights about the brewing process that added so much to the experience. It's rare to find someone who can balance professionalism, personality, and expertise so effortlessly. His service elevated our visit from good to unforgettable. We left not only loving the beer, but appreciating the care and enthusiasm behind it. If you're visiting, definitely hope you get the chance to be served by Cisco.He is true asset to the brewery and a big reason we'll be coming back and we will be sharing our experience with our fave neighbors or better yet to our community at New Haven!
