    Celebrated a birthday with a party of 5. Casual fine dining steakhouse with super friendly service!! A5 Japanese Wagyu - Future menu item. I don't have words to describe this. It was that good. Lol. Candied Slab Bacon - Beef Jerky on steroids. Flat Iron & Fritts - Parm truffle fries off the hook/super crispy. Jack Daniel's corn was a refreshing contrast. Ribeye - Juicy, just the right amount of fat, tender. Filet Mignon - Like butter. Best tasting steak at the table. Mac N Cheese - Creamy, but not southern style stick to your ribs creamy, the perfect balance of creamy--creamy light!!! Asparagus - Still crunchy and crisp with a light balsamic glaze. Prawns Scampi - Jumbo, light and tender, buttery shrimp. Seriously, if the ocean was heaven, these shrimp were the angels. Mashed Taters - Fluffy and creamy. We thought they had white pepper which gave them an extremely unique delicious flavor! Desserts - Molten Lava cake always good. The best Creme Brûlée on the face of the planet. Soooo silky! Would give 5 stars but they ran out of bread and Brussel sprouts. Will have to return to try them. Woe is us.

    This place is amazing! Nestled on a seemingly random corner lot in the middle of Norco, it is hands down the best steakhouse we've found in the IE so far. If you've seen or heard of it and haven't tried it yet, this is your sign! The decor is Western Chic and I particularly love the oak whiskey casks on the wagon in front. The place is on the smaller side, but our server mentioned they were going to be expanding a bit to include a nice outdoor dining area with another bar in the near future. Speaking of our server, Joanna, she was outstanding! She gave us all the time we needed as this was our first time there, while still making sure to check in on us. All of the employees were welcoming and nice, so fantastic service all around. There is a dry-aging room with a view from the dining room where you can watch their butcher at work. The kitchen is somewhat open as well so if you sit at the high top behind the host station, you get a firsthand viewing experience there, too. The bar is immaculate and the drinks are delicious. We got the Brunk's perfect margarita, the berries jubilee and a beer on draft. Now about the food...insert drooling emoji here! The candied slab bacon appetizer was so flavorful and literally melted in our mouths. The filet and the Wagyu Snake River Farms NY steaks were perfectly cooked and so tender n juicy! The sides are shareable and decently sized. We got the mac n cheese with the truffle oil and the brussels. Everything was delicious. We had zero complaints and we will definitely be back! Way to go, Brunks!

    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! :)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    My lobster tail
    Maggie R.

    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.

    Charcuterie board
    Lucy L.

    Second time here, it's always so flavorful and service is great. We ordered the rib eye the first time and the tomahawk the last time we were here and both have been exceptional. Mashed potatoes and mushrooms were enough for 3 ppl so definitely shareable. The charcuterie was also more than enough for us 3. Will keep coming back to support our local community.

    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.

    My wedge salad tossed plus full table of food.

    Great date night! Started with charcuterie board ... so yummy! Hubs had the porterhouse steak and lobster with Caesar salad ; I had the wedge salad. Service was excellent. We will definitely go back

    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.

    Online only allows party of 4. I have a party of 6 wanting to come in this evening at 5:00 for dinner?

    I would suggest calling ahead of time right when they open and seeing if they can provide that for you over the phone. And if they can't, then you guys should probably get there early enough to where you don't mind waiting for them to get your party… 

    Do I have to make reservations and if yes how do I do so?

    I recommend you make reservations since they get pretty busy.

I had the Caesar salad and the blackened salmon with veggies, and both were delicious. No complaints there. But the moment that sealed the deal was when my husband decided he was going to be "healthy" and ordered a Coke Zero. Naturally, I informed him that putting the word Zero in the name doesn't magically turn it into water. Michelle immediately took my side, and just like that I knew she was my favorite person in Norco. She played along with our jokes, kept us laughing, and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. So yes, the food was excellent. But if Michelle is working, ask for her section. She has great taste... especially when it comes to knowing who's right in a marriage debate.

On top of that, didn't get a "welcome" or even a smile. It's almost as if we were bothering her. I love the food but having to wait 20 minutes for a tiny cup of ranch, having to basically beg for napkins for water and still not getting it really makes the experience not very fun or inviting. I don't think we'll be back.

The servers are attentive, food comes out quickly, and they cut their steaks in-house. And the cinnamon butter with the starter bread is HEAVENLY. I always end up ordering another round. The jalapeño cheese balls are also super cheesy, savory, and worth getting. Both times, my steak was cooked exactly to the doneness I requested. The only miss for me was a side of spicy shrimp I ordered once. Tt had a freezer-burnt taste, so I've learned to just stick with the steak here. At this price, it's really hard to beat. I've paid nearly twice as much at other steakhouses and gotten worse steak and worse service. Just expect a wait, especially during busier hours. Personally, I think it's worth it.

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.
