It's a large place that can accommodate lots of people. The German cuisine is authentic with not enough waitstaff. I would go to the restaurant again. read more

Our relative recommended trying out the Phoenix Club, and I liked the food served here. We had the crispy chicken schnitzel fingers with spätzle, classic BLT, Ruben sandwich, and potato pancakes with apple sauce. The sandwiches came as large portions. With the fries, my family got full. The potato pancakes tasted good and had a nice texture. I appreciated that they didn't fall apart. The chicken schnitzel tasted good, and the breading stayed intact. However, apart from the basics of cooking chicken, they didn't feel that special to me. I finished the schnitzel relatively quickly, and its portion size wasn't as big as that of the sandwiches. The spätzle was a new dish for me. It doesn't have many ingredients to it, so I'd describe it as not flavorful. Service went well, and our food came to us in about 20-30 minutes. When we arrived at noon, they had a few tables already reserved and occupied with guests. The ambience was lively, but it occasionally got loud. Overall, I liked the food, but the flavors of the dishes, especially from the schnitzel, didn't impress me much. read more

The Bierstube is back at The Phoenix Club and it's a very similar experience. I was glad to see a very similar menu and the same mix of beers on tap. I have always loved their take on the Reuben and it's still great. My wife enjoyed a packed BLT. Both were accompanied by their battered fries and cold beers. Glad to see a solid lunch crowd at the new location. read more

Great as always! Huge new Bierstube!!! This bar area is larger than the old space, but I believe there will no longer be a formal restaurant (Lorelai?). Had Jagerschnitzel, sadly no beer... back to work. Met some fabulous new friends Heinz and Fritz. Nice to see this place back in action. read more

Came (for the first time) to Oktoberfest, we got the tickets on line, included parking. We got early, so there was plenty of room, parking and tables. From the Oktoberfest menu, we had the pork schnitzel and the smoked bratwurst. Sides were potato salad, knödel and we added extra: cheese sauce. The music was ok, we enjoyed the traditional dances and costumes, even the chicken dance! They had a great selection of Oktoberfest beers and for the first time I tried the Paulander Lager, I loved it. It's a cool location to celebrate Oktoberfest away from places that are too crazy. As the night progressed, it got more and more crowded and the lines for food and drinks significantly slowed down the speed of service and the lines were just too long!! Lines were so long that blocked the view from the tables to the main stage. We decided to leave then. It was fun and I'd give them a try again in future years . read more

It's ausgeseichtnet! great German food. The meat and sides are bomb. sausages are great. It's like Oktoberfest. I read more

Love stopping here, Service is prompt and friendly and their schnitzel is "German correct". The sauerkraut has a mild but wonderful bite much like the sauerkraut i am fermenting in my crock at home right now. The new Brea location recipes appear to be the same as we had at the Lorelei in Anaheim before they moved.2 read more

The last time I was here was 1986. It was when they were in Anaheim. They moved to Brea. Atmosphere and music was good. Food not so much. We had the chicken schnitzel and chef forgot about adding seasonings‍ Maybe it was because it was for Oktoberfest‍ read more

We had a great meal at The Phoenix Club. The restaurant was packed when we arrived but we fortunately got a table within a few mins wait. The servers were friendly and helpful. A kids menu, kids cups and coloring supplies were provided which we appreciated. The food was all delicious - pretzel with cheese dip, Reuben sandwich, sausage plate, and two kids meals, plus desserts. We enjoyed every bite and the portions were generous. There was a club event going on so the atmosphere was lively and fun. read more

This is the best place to come to in Orange County for some good old fashioned German delights and German hospitality! It's our second time coming here and the experience, service and food was equally delightful and fantastic as our first time dining in experience! The ambiance is very cozy and lovely. Plenty of seating with ample space for all. The service is phenomenal. The food is truly marvelous! My husband ordered the special - The Germano Sandwich and I got to taste it! It was a work of art or must I say, a work of heart! I ordered (2) sausage plates - oh yeah! Lol Plate 1- bratwurst and smoked bratwurst with a side of red cabbage. The red cabbage tastes so much like sweet beets. I was not a fan of the red cabbage but it's fine as the bratwurst and smoked bratwurst were amazing! Plate 2 - knackwurst and hot polish with a side of sauerkraut. Chef's kiss to this one! Yummy all over! Out of all 4, my favorite was the hot polish. Superbly delicious! Also, I had a mai tai. They don't have a cocktail menu but they can make whatever you want. They were very generous in their pour! Loved it! This is definitely one of our top fav places to eat in Orange County. We will certainly come back. Oh yeah! Cheers! Danke schon! read more

The Phoenix Club has been my German community with my parents since I was a small child. I finally was able to visit the new location in Brea recently and the food was AMAZING, absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to visiting for Oktoberfest! read more

I received a reply to my initial review from the Phoenix team, and it underscored just how tone-deaf the company is! The response did not address the crux of the issue; instead, it framed the situation as though the Phoenix Club is doing the community a favor simply by being available. By all means keep it! For context: The Phoenix Club in Anaheim was a remarkable and enjoyable experience. It essentially sold out to a developer, likely profiting handsomely in the process, while leaving its members behind and handing off a shadow of its former self in Brea. I will continue to patronize Old World in Westminster. Thank you. read more

Love love love this restaurant! Great German food. Just returned from a month in Germany and was craving Schnitzel. I came to the right place. As good as in Germany.

If you had fond memories of Oktoberfest from years back - keep them and pass on the new location. Not a large beer hall so only about 1/3 can see the band. The outside seating is tiny and half is carved out of the parking lot. The band was nothing like the bands in years past. The food was the most disappointing. $30 for two cold half cooked brats that ended up in the trash. Not sure we made it an hour before leaving. read more

We went for Oktoberfest today for the second time at the Brea location. Last year was the first at the new location and we sat inside. We were stuffed in like sardines which we found to be very uncomfortable. This year's flyer said expanded indoor/outdoor which was great because we wanted to sit outside. We arrived early and got a table on the patio. It was nice not to be in a crowd, but the music couldn't be heard outside. It felt like we paid admission to sit outside with no entertainment. My suggestion is to at least have speakers in the outdoor areas so the people who choose to sit outside can still enjoy the band. It was lacking the Oktoberfest vibe and I don't know if we'll return next year. read more

Had a great time celebrating Oktoberfest!!! Fun music, great food/vibe, will def be back!

The most appealing food and drinks highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!! Service is excellent!

The band was great, but the spot light behind the band was blinding the audience and a group of 20 will never come back. We even informed a band member and members that were running the show to move the spot light: up or down, so it is not blinding the audience and we may watch the band, but it did no good. Change the light system we did paid to not get blinded and see the band. read more

We didn't know where to eat, so my friend suggested the Phoenix Club. It was in the afternoon, so we didn't expect to see a crowd, but when we arrived, we were asked if we had reservations. We didn't, but we were immediately seated. The restaurant looks more like a meeting room/conference room than a restaurant. Service was good and food arrived soon after we ordered. The Reuben was good and the sausage plate was good. Not memorable, just OK. read more

So good! The roasted beat salad was delicious! The citrus dressing roasted beats and goat cheese were the perfect combination. I added sliced chicken schnitzel on top for extra protein. My friend had the stube burger and also was delicious. Food and staff here were on point. read more

I give this place some credit for not totally being set up, and just ready enough to go. The warmth and the style are truly missing from the old phoenix club but it's a beer hall! The service was borderline ok, I would expect minimal knowledge how the food is pronounced and don't get corrected with an English pronunciation. The beer I wanted was just out and not available as draft. After getting rushed to order, the sides came first and the main meal took another 5-7 minutes which made the sides cold. Now, the food! Before I go there, people who read my reviews in the past like my honesty. I am from Germany and here since 20 years and tried a load of German restaurants and I trashed them all. I brought my dad today, he is here on vacation and lives in Bavaria. Food: the Wiener and the Knackwurst, you can't go wrong with that, if you like the sausage boiled. The bratwurst was okayyyy, a little too white inside but ok. Red cabbage definitely was over spice with cloves, didn't taste the red cabbage. Mashed potatoes were plain tasteless with a hint of butter. I judge on the potato's salad, because it seems nobody knows how to do a good one. That was not potatoes salad, that was baby food. Come on, that felt like someone else ate it before me. I know everybody has different styles but growing up and living in north, west, east and south Germany, that's not it. But this is just my opinion about what I like. read more

Checked out Die Bierstube. Loved it! Great food! I feel like I need proof that their vegan brat was truly vegan because it was too delicious! Beer was fab! Our server, James, was great! Hope they'll be able to use that patio area by their side entrance so we can bring our aptly named pooch Heffie Hefeweizen. My only complaint is the noise; couldn't hear someone talking to me right next to me (maybe some fabric or cork to absorb noise) We'll be back soon Prost! read more

This place has some really great German food! The sausages are tasty and large! All the dishes were delicious and very large portions too! German restaurants are few and far between but this place definitely does German right! The service was decent also. This restaurant is very well decorated with quaint German decor and very clean! I highly recommend this place if you want something different and like German food! read more
