    I don't have a photo of our beers, but had a blast attending the October Village market at GameCraft! What a rad spot - so many activities and lots of space! Can't wait to go back and play games while sipping a cold one. Great service!

    Satine and the entire crew was very kind and we need her enthusiasm for this new location. So happy us nerds have a place to come hang again.

    If you like videogames and beer, this is the place to be. I come here for wrestling shows that they host monthly (or more frequently) and it never disappoints. They have a food truck during those shows that isnt great but is solid food. I love the memorabilia, ESPECIALLY the Overwatch stuff. Outdoor seating is nice, weather permitting and they have other game stuff too.

    Love going to the one in Laguna Hills so excited one closer to home opened up! What worried me about coming here was parking, especially in an industrial plaza parking could be hard to find, but we came on a Friday night and there was lots of parking and it looks like all the businesses nearby were closed already. Inside is much smaller than the Laguna location, there's a few tables and bar seating. They have a large outdoor area with corn hole, giant jenga and plastic axe throwing. They also have board games inside for customers to play. Great tasting beers! And the workers were really cool! Sad that they were out of the mango power up! I also really liked that they had a TV and a projector to watch sports! My only knock on this place is that they don't have an in house kitchen like in Laguna. They have a food vendor that comes, and that night it was Mediterranean, so choices are very limited. Also they have a separate area in front of the brewery with a couple of Arcade cabinet machines as well as pinball (But it's pay to play with quarters). Also they had a large TV in that area, it looked like that area is being set up for people to play console games, but nothing was set up. I am rooting for this place to be successful and finish their set up, because it's got great potential!

    Chill brewery with a variety of board games, a few arcade machines, and a shuffleboard table. The beers were decent, I liked the Mexican Dark Lager. Mostly all light beer options. Next time I'll try their food truck!

    Pretty big space that has cool decoration, lots of games, and screens to watch games. It would be a cool place to hang out except I just could not stand the smell coming from the brewing. We eventually sat outside but it felt like my whole body stank for the rest of the day. Hopefully it's not all the time but man it really keeps me from wanting to go back. The beers were ok. They didn't blow me away but I liked that they had a good variety. They had some good snacks, lots of fried stuff to go with the beer. There's plenty of parking so that was nice.

    Came in for the Thursday comedy night and hubby and I had a great time! Such a cool, chill spot. Brian was serving up the taps and he was such a great time and did such a good job at making sure everyone was taken care of. Loved that they had all the games for patrons and a food truck is always a major plus. Will definitely be back! They have lots of events going on, I want to come back for trivia or lotería!

    Gamecraft Brewing truly has my heart, and I was excited to see that a second location opened up! Super thrilled that this location is open later, and it still has its charm. Pros: -Open later -Great drinks (& has non alcoholic drinks too) -Fun game selection -Service is great; staff is super knowledgeable -Rotating food trucks Cons: -Feels more industrial and "cold" compared to the original location -No in house kitchen -60/40 outdoor to indoor seating, only a con during cold months

    Rita red and mas effect

    Loved the gaming theme of this brewery! I first tried one of their beers on tap at a beer bar nearby (The Iron Press at Anaheim Packing District) and decided to check out the actual brewery. It is tucked away in an industrial area, not too much traffic coming in or out with plenty street parking. Although it's on the smaller side compared to other breweries, inside is the typical warehouse/industrial feel, with your large steel vats where the brewing takes place. There's an outdoor area with seating and some games like mega Jenga blocks and corn hole. When we were there, there was a food tented vendor selling Ethiopian food. AS for their beers, my definite favorite was the doom juice double hazy IPA. It's so juicy and drinkable for a double hazy! It was so great that we took a 4-canned case home. For non IPA, the Rita red and nectarine power up were also great. Also, they have a rewards punch card with missions to achieve which I thought was a fun idea for those who like to chase some goals. I believe it's fodrink for 100% achievement

And the whole reason we found ourselves at Golden Road Brewing. Golden Road Brewing is huge! There's an indoor open area and a large wrap around outside area with plenty of picnic tables and shade. Large tvs/ projectors whatever they are. You have to forgive me because I walked in and immediately heard my name being called by a young man that swept me up in a hug... former student, actually 3.

Service can be a hit or miss. It seems like they are often confused about whose table is whose or that there isn't really assigned sections for servers which means sometimes it takes forever to get our orders in. Luckily on our last visit our server Mike was extremely attentive. They have a newly redone kids area which is nice for families. They play sound on the TVs for the World Cup. Definitely super super busy when there's an angel game - avoid if you're not attending because they charge to park in their parking lot and it's impossible to find street parking on those days

They have a huge location with a large parking lot, however note that this does fill up. Especially during weekends, big games, etc. We came on a Sunday during a game AND movie night, but were able to secure a place to park with some patience. Again, the place is huge. They had two bars open AND a booth outside selling canned drinks. There is lots of seating inside and outside. It was honestly hard for me to wrap my head around the size of the place! I also liked that they had multiple restrooms around the building. They have a very impressive beer and seltzer collection. You can get various sizes or a whole pitcher for the table. You do order food outside separately at the X Eats area. This is a food truck setup, but they did have an impressive amount of options. Food took a little while (understandable given the volume of people there), but it came out hot and fresh. The pizza had a nice flavor that featured jalapeño and pineapple. They also had a featured dessert that was a banana egg roll with ice cream and a wonderful ube syrup. Overall, I had a great time and would love to come back again!

While there were confirmed empty tables and seating area all over. While we were peaceful waiting in line "security guards" were rude and disrespectful. They constantly allowed people they knew into the brewery while we waited in line. If you are not allowing people due to "max capacity" then don't let anybody in! I will say the black skinny security guard was the only one that was respectful and spoke to us about what was going on.

One of the beers we got is the Tropical Hideaway, which really reminds me of the pineapple Dole whip at Disneyland. It's a smoothie-style beer with lots of tropical flavor. Tons of tables outside to hang out, and when we went there was a food truck with great smash burgers outside. And the bartenders are super knowledgeable about the beer -- we got some great recs.

My favorite was "From the Deep". The Rocket pop frozen seltzer was too sweet to enjoy. The "Garden Studies" seltzer was very good due to the lychee and other flavors but also a bit too sweet. My dad really enjoyed all the IPAs, this was his Father's Day gift. But the bartender did not greet us at all when we walked in, he was not friendly at all in my opinion.Though he did answer most questions I had about the beers and seltzers because he seemed pretty knowledgeable, but not happy to answer my questions. Had to go back 3-4 times to ask if the frozen seltzer was finally ready. Then when I went back in to ask for samples, I asked how many I'm able to try and the bartender said "you've already had a lot so not many more" so I only asked for 2 though I wanted to try 1 more. But I didn't feel welcome and comfortable enough to ask. I'll definitely just get my beer to go next time. Beer and seltzer quality is great though!!!

They were charging for parking so we paid $30 plus processing fee. Kevin the manager couldn't care less that we were here as customers not for the monster truck thing so they didn't give us a table and we had to sit at the bar. He initially said that there was a 30 min wait even though we could see empty tales. We had already paid so we had to stay to get the $30 discount on your bill when spending $30. He was not willing to refund since they were not technically the ones charging you. Once we sat at the bar, the bartender was nice and made us feel comfortable so we could enjoy our night. The place was crowded with families with kids, adults just overindulging and being very loud. The moment the event started time got closer, all of this crowd started leaving which allowed us to really enjoy our night. The food was great as always. The poke nachos are really tasty with a good balance of fish and nachos. The fish and chips is one of our go to dishes they are always perfectly cooked. We have noticed that shrinkflation has happened throughout the years, but after enjoying a few beers you don't notice anymore. This was the first time trying their burger and it was amazing! The patty was perfectly cooked and the flavors just worked together. We also decided to give the beeramisu a second try and we enjoyed it. It is a creative and unique twist to your traditional tiramisu. Since it had been a while, we didn't even know that they have a club now. We gladly join and got the poke nachos as a welcome gift. Overall the experience started on a bad note but we left happy after good food, service and drinks. Also, Kevin came by after the mess to check on us and apologize for the inconvenience. Make sure you check the angel stadium for event before you come, they will be busy.

    We had the unfortunate experience of unknowingly going to Karl Strauss right before a Dodgers @…read moreAngels game, and WOW was the restaurant packed. The wait was projected to be an HOUR! But we got a super nice host who noticed our mistake and kindly sat us down right away. We appreciated the customer service. We ordered the brussel sprouts (3 out of 5) and the carne asada fries (4 out of 5). Both were large portions, enough for two people to share as an appetizer. I especially enjoyed the green cilantro sauce on the carne asada fries! I love that this location lets you do a beer flight with as few as 2 beers. Some of my favorite beers I tried in my flight were the Golden Stout, Wreck Alley (a stout), and Boat Shoes (a tropical IPA). One thing that shocked me about the restaurant setup was the lack of TVs. It has a sports vibe, especially with Angel Stadium right across the street, but the only TV I could see from where I was sitting was super far away. So come for great beer flights and fun apps, but not to hang out and watch sports.

    Update 6/30/2026: - Rewards became even less efficient than…read moresince my last visit in 2022. Now when you join their membership, gotta visit 8 times to redeem the nice offer. Used to be that you get a nice gift right upon joining. - Parking at Anaheim Gardenwalk is $4/hr, 1st hr's free. This restaurant's validation only grants you one extra hr. After validation, I still had to pay $8, which is a lil expensive considering the numerous amount of open parking spots there were, but I guess that's downtown for ya. - And the parking validation still needs something like a stamp. Some tangible indicator that our parking slip has been validated. - The cook didn't do any spatula tricks. + More seafood variety now. - Staff attentiveness is okay. I noticed whenever the waitress(es) stopped by to check up on us, 90% of the time she only looks at my guest, kinda like she just cares about her wellbeing, not his. We had: $54 2-dinner (all day) + $4 coke + tax = $63 Prev review: 6/19/2022 tl,dr: Fantastic specialized AYCE! Better than regular buffets cuz of the variety of sauces and a focused cooking style. The parking business is a downside though. Tips: . As you're grabbing food, use the tongs to press the food down in your bowl. You'll find you can add more per trip, since the bowl is small. . Get less carbs (noodles or pasta) so you can save stomach space and make the most of your money on meats and veggies. Likes: + This place honors the reservation system. Within a few min of us walking in, they were able to quickly seat us, even during a crowded Father's Day lunch hour. Though their website does not allow reserving for 3 ppl, thankfully they let me reserve over the phone. + Variety of food and sauces! + They keep a box of gloves at the front of the self-serve bar. + The grill chefs are very adept and attentive, and pretty nice. + The chefs put on quite a show when they cook. If you're lucky, you'll even catch them flipping their spatulas. + The cook was willing to cook the two fried eggs I asked for. + The lunchtime desserts include blackberries and yogurt. Yum! Non-likes: - Redeeming a discount here used to be efficient, but now it takes at least a few days to enable one. Try signing up for a discount via their website and you'll know what I mean. - Their website should allow reserving for 3 ppl. - Lacking in seafood variety though. - Chefs don't wear masks. - As you wait for your food to get cooked, you're standing shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of strangers. - They should post a few more informative signs. One could say what ingredients we can ask for at the grill that aren't available at the self-serve counter, such as eggs. Another sign could say what time they're putting away the lunch hour foods and what time they're bringing out the dinner hour foods. - They remove the fruits and yogurt around 3pm. But I heard they have soup instead for dinner hour. - I asked the waiter to validate my parking. When he returned the ticket to me, he said I'm all set. But when I went to pay my parking, I had to pay $6. It's $3/hr, and we parked 3 hr. Since the first hr is already free, shouldn't I only have to pay $3? I've been hoodwinked.

    A few friends and I came here after an event for a few drinks and appetizers. It wasn't super busy,…read moreso we were seated pretty quickly. I started with the loaded fries, but swapped the nacho cheese for mozzarella, along with a cherry pineapple lemonade, because I'm never afraid of a good fruity drink. Both were excellent. The fries were truly loaded, yet somehow still crispy and well-seasoned. The cherry pineapple lemonade was fantastic too. It was dangerously smooth since you could barely taste the alcohol. I honestly could've drunk a whole gallon of it. We also shared some mozzarella sticks and BBQ wings. The wings stayed crispy even under all that amazing BBQ sauce, and the mozzarella sticks were exactly what you want from a mozzy stick: crispy, cheesy, and with a great cheese pull. , My only gripe was the service. Our server wasn't very attentive once it became clear we weren't ordering the All You Can Eat experience. Maybe he assumed that because we were mostly ordering appetizers, we'd be less likely to tip. That thought crossed my mind because when we ordered more food, he suddenly started checking on us more often. Maybe I was overthinking it, but it definitely stood out to me. It was a Saturday night, but the restaurant wasn't especially busy, so I'm not sure what kept him away from our section for so long. That said, the atmosphere was great. There was seating both inside and out on the patio, and watching the flames from the stir fry station was really cool. I can definitely see why they call themselves "Fire+Ice." I could absolutely see myself coming back. The food and drinks were tasty, and the All You Can Eat option sounds like a lot of fun when I'm extra hungry.
