    The best of the best! Very community based, everyone makes you feel welcomed which is why I continued to come back! Love the bartenders Steph, Frida, Kino, Jeannie and Sara! Whiskey Wednesdays are the best!

    No food except for chips because the cook didn't show up. Beer is cold and drinks are cheap. Pool .75 and darts are confusing maybe $.50 per person. Either way awesome sauce. The jukebox $10 gets you full control for an hour basically. I'm not sure if the holes in the ceiling are bullet related or just errant pool cues? Either way best bar in Buena Park.

    Nice little dive bar we hit up after dinner one night. Billiards is free to play and drinks were good. Would definitely hit up this place again.

    Waited 15 minutes for a drink.... why? Because this is the only bartender and she's STILL outside smoking!  WTH?! Don't waste your time!

    Bartender outside, didn't acknowledge my arrival. Walked inside, waited for 15 minutes (thankfully the crowd was entertaining) Bartender still outside. Didn't acknowledge my leaving either. Will never recommend or return

    Bring ur own food when kitchen is closed. AMF on "special" depending on bartender. Come here when you don't want to drink alone. Mini pool tables, TVs, and a juke box for those trusting souls who put dollars in her slot. Parking is easy. There is a musty odor when you walk in the dark bar...

    Rock & Brews is such a fun spot to bring the kids, especially if you're looking for somewhere to…read moreeat after a day at Knott's Berry Farm. It's super close to the park, there's plenty of parking, and the inside is huge. The whole place has a fun rock and roll theme without feeling too over the top, and there's plenty to look at while you're eating. They have a pretty big menu with lots of options for both adults and kids, plus a huge selection of beer and other drinks. We happened to come on a Monday and discovered that kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree, one free kids meal per adult entree. With two kids, that ended up being a pretty awesome surprise. Overall, this is a really easy family dinner option in Buena Park. Plenty of space, lots of food and drink choices, and close enough to Knott's that you can finish your day here before heading home.

    Grew up and live in Buena Park and I've only been here 3 times. That's gotta change. The burgers…read morewere pretty. They were tasty, too, but I can always appreciate a good looking burger that doesn't fall over after they place it on the table. I had the super spicy one and it kicked my bum. I can't hang like the old days. Very fun eating experience though, and I was able to finish every single scoville. Waiter was helpful with customizing (bread swap). French fries were fine. Will be back, even if it's just to get a bottle of their hot sauce . Only real gripe is that this place looks and feels like a sports bar/restaurant, it has over a dozen TVs... But the same thing was on ALL the TVs ! I understand the music theme is central appeal, but at least have different (variety) music videos on if you're gonna have 30 TVs in your restaurant. Make it interesting

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

The location is a little hidden and was somewhat difficult to find at first, but once inside, everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The staff did an excellent job throughout the event--friendly, attentive, and impressively fast despite the crowd. I also appreciated that they limited the number of guests, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling overcrowded. It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience. The food was good, the service was great, and the overall setup made for an enjoyable afternoon of soccer. We'll definitely be back during football season to catch a few games.

    This meal was an absolute feast. Before we even ordered, our…read moreserver brought out waters and a bowl of cabbage salad for the table. It's a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed. We decided to go with one of the combo meals, which came with boneless crispy fried chicken, cheese tteokbokki, and fried potstickers. We also added an order of corn cheese because... how could we not? The chicken lived up to the hype. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sauce that had me licking my fingers without shame. The cheese tteokbokki was exactly what I was hoping for. Chewy rice cakes swimming in a rich, spicy, cheesy sauce that kept me coming back for another bite. The corn cheese deserves its own paragraph because wow... I understand why Korean restaurants serve this. Sweet corn covered in gooey melted cheese is one of those dishes that sounds simple but somehow disappears before you realize it. The fried potstickers rounded everything out nicely and added another crispy bite to the meal. And because apparently we hadn't eaten enough, we finished with Dippin' Dots for dessert. It was such a fun way to end the meal and brought back a little childhood nostalgia. Overall, the portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the whole spread looked as good as it tasted. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever the Korean fried chicken craving hits.

My friend had to go ask again before they came and started to clear out a table for my group. I get that my group was slightly larger because there were 7 of us but saying that 2 hours before closing was slightly ridiculous. Ambiance was clean and standard for a Korean fried chicken restaurant. Now onto the food... chicken was good but not the best Korean fried chicken I've had. The fish cake soup was $25 for only three sticks of fish cake which is MUCH too overpriced for what it was. The taste was solid but also basic and felt like something I could make at home... not special. The chicken gizzard had a good texture and flavor which was nice. The tteokbokki wasn't chewy enough so we weren't that big of a fan. The fries were freshly fried and good but it's hard to mess up freshly fried fries. Overall food was solid but not the best.
