Spring Valley Lake, Victorville: Small sports bar style place with no view, high tables and some regular seating around the perimeter. A bit Off the beaten path and certainly filled with locals. Took a bit to get greeted & seated. Once I got a menu though, the server was very friendly and personable. Daily specials are a deal-taco, Tuesday, wing Wednesday, burger Thursday, steak Friday, BBQ Sunday & Monday. Wednesday Wings were great! So many choices, loved the lemon pepper dry rub and saucy Sweet Chili. Bourbon wing was juicy and tasty. Wings were served piping hot. I also ordered the original Republic Burger which for me was too much in addition to the wings. Cooked to order medium and truly a good burger with substantial bun. Didn't care for their pickles though. Off to the side with them. Burger was served piping hot, server got it to my table right away. Nice side salad. Reasonable prices and rare to see a daily special to include the weekends. I plan to try the BBQ Sunday/Monday special. I recommend this place. Parking rather tight but more spaces just north. read more

Staff & Food is Great Here. Waiting for them to Re-Open. Don't know when it might be. Haven't heard any updates

The food is very good. We've enjoyed the tacos, tacos salad, chicken, and burgers, all were very good. They have a well stocked bar and good assortment of beer on tap. All that being said, be ready to wait. The only downside is the service, very slow. read more

Republic - Taco Tuesday Menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Victorville, California

Service is absolutely the worst. Only reason they are not getting 1 stars is the food is pretty good. Would be a 5 star if the servers were not so rude. Worst staff. Walked in and was told sit wherever you want. We grabbed a booth. Had a server drop off menus about 5 minutes later. Then....... well we didn't have a server acknowledged us for about 20-25 mins. This was only because I flagged down one who was a complete b*/@h. She said "I'm busy" and walked away. Finally we got a server and put in our food and drink order. The food took a long time to get to us but when it did it was pretty good. Not sure if we will ever go back. Cons- Service is probably the worst in the high desert. Prices are higher then I thought for sports bar food would be. Pros- Food was good and Resturant had good lighting and ambiance and wasn't dark like some sports bars. read more

YES YES YES!!! Everything I had was great and we will be back I loved the energy from the waiter (I forgot to get her name) but she had blonde highlights I'll be back read more

Visiting one of my offices I decided to use yelp for a quick spot to eat. I found the Republic. It was an interesting ride getting there because of all the hills but I made it. Small parking lot but a Spot right in front. Walked in, small bar, felt like a big room. There were mostly couples, one group and a few singles at the bar. The bartenders were nice but not too talkative, they were servicing everyone. I dont remember seeing extra help. Nice beer selection and a few new ones I havent seen like the aurora... (forgot it) The taste was great and I requested an orange slice on the side. They have weekly specials and the day I wemt the special was beef stroganoff with prime rib. I decided to order a beer and their sampler, which was a steal($14)! I got buffalo wings, zucchini sticks, eggrolls anddd fried pickles. I enjoyed every bite and the price was perfect. read more

I've been a long time customer of the Republic and love the food! Sometimes we eat there a couple times per week. The owner Ron posted a need to have his window tint replaced at the restaurant. As Swift Appearance, we submitted a bid and negotiated a deal we agreed on with a gentleman's handshake. The following visit he informed me that another company gave him a lower bid but he was honoring our agreement. Ron and his wife stand by their word, honoring our relationship and paid immediately. We have enjoyed doing business with them and enjoy having this restaurant in our community. Thank you from the Swift Team! read more

The Victor Valley British Car Club had our Christmas Holiday Party here. What can I say? It was the best meal I have had this holiday season! The manager, Sheryl (I hope I spelled her name right!), went up and beyond to ensure our evening was stellar. Our server, Amaya, is amazing! She is very efficient and has a beautiful personality. We had a turkey dinner with all the traditional sides. The turkey was all white breast meat. The sides consisted of mashed potatoes, a green bean casserole, dressing, corn, bread roll, cranberry sauce, and turkey gravy. There was also a pumpkin and an apple pie. All of the food was delicious! The back bar area at RePublic was reserved for us and decorated festively for the event. I had a very pleasant and memorable evening. It is definitely recommended to have your events catered at this restaurant. read more

Republic - Catered turkey dinner with all the traditional sides for our holiday party. - Sports Bars Near Me - Victorville, California

This is my 4th time here with the same problem. Giving pass after pass. No more passes!!!! Service and waiting for food like sandwich was over 30 minutes... idk how many times the lady had past up didn't check on us. Due to that and how long it took to get our food. We decided to not get dessert!!!! I saw several people leave the establishment due to the wait time of the food and service to order. Food saved them but I may not be coming back. This is ridiculous. They only cater to the locals. Which I've been local for years and surprisingly they were recommendations but I will not recommend them moving forward. read more

Food was absolutely delicious!! I was happy with everything & the specials are fantastic. The people here are always very nice I meet new friends every time I visit. Great atmosphere and the music isn't bad either read more

The cobb salad is sooooo good. Sunday Bruch - chimichurri steak and eggs with bottomless bloody mary's. I also love their fried pickles. read more

The Taco Tuesday fish or shrimp tacos are delightful! It's a local pub atmosphere. Although our order came out wrong the first time, the server had the kitchen remake it, let us eat the first batch, and didn't charge us extra. Will definitely go back for the tasty Tuesday tacos! read more

I ate here with my friends and everything tastes delicious until I got home and started feeling ill. I ordered the chicken street tacos and waffle fries. I felt so terrible I was trying to sleep off the sickness I had. I woke up in the middle of the night and threw all my food up. Everything, it was insane. I would not recommend this place unless you want to hurl everything you ate later that night. Will not be going here again read more

Turkey Burger is simple but good. It just has avocado, lettuce and tomato on an egg bun. Waffle fries (sweet potato) are tasty with the ranch dressing they come with. read more

Serena is the best. Michelle Whitman is my favorite. I love this place. The service is impeccable.

I love this place. The food is delish and well priced, the ambiance is fun and this is definitely the place to be in Victorville with its prime location in spring valley lake. The staff is fun and welcoming with great service. Get your favorite drink, watch your favorite sports and have a good time at Republic! read more

So once you get service it's fine but it's always taken me a hot minute to get someone over to help us. They seem really understaffed for how busy it's been while I'm there. I haven't had a bad server and the food has always been good. The vibe is pretty relaxed not too loud but we will see once football season is here! read more

They have Lost Coast PB Stout on TAP! This makes me so happy. It is winter and the only other place to get a Stout is Oggis. I would prefer a coffee stout but this is my other favorite. I just had a great burger in a wonderful place that I am comfortable watching a football game. The waitress and all the staff are ALWAYS wonderful and that is why we came here. The service and menu is perfect for the last day of 2023. read more

Republic is great, friendly staff and good food. The chicken and waffles are awesome and steak night is always worth the wait.

Unfortunate to have the same name as her but the waitress Michelle was incredibly slow and rude. We waited almost 30 mins just to get the bill. Everytime we tried to flag her down as she walked by she ignored us. She never asked us if we wanted any refills, dessert, or even if there's anything else she could get us when she brought the food. She just set the food down and left without saying a word. I could understand if it was busy, but there were about 5 tables with people and 2 other waitresses so it wasn't busy at all. The food is great and I love the environment just please for the love of god, get new waitresses! read more

best Restraunt in the high desert, food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Love the prime rib on thursdays

V did a great job today. They were short-staffed and she was so efficient. Came here yesterday and it took 30 minutes to get my 1st beer or even an acknowledgement. They had 2 people yesterday and they were less efficient than V did with more people today!! Great job V! read more

I was working in the area and decided to get a burger from here. Got there regular cheeseburger, but added a patty to make it a double thinking it was gonna be like a double double from in n out or something. What I got was a monster double cheese. This thing was thick. Had to take out a patty n eat it like a caveman. Then smash the burger. With some steak fries on the side it was one of the best burgers I had in a while. read more

Everything I've tried is delicious! The best menu in the high desert. They have amazing specials every day

We were craving for wings and we thought of checking this place out over Wingstop. We went in and we already felt that we are not welcome in this place. I observed that white patrons get their food served in plates and presentation as what you normally see in the picture. Check out how our food was served. The servers were so chummy with the white patrons even toasting alcohol and drinking with them. Not once we were greeted asked if we need anything or what they would normally do to the white patrons. It is simply discrimination. We regret going in this place when we were hungry and craving. read more

First time going into Republic, was a little dark, was a bit crowded , was told to find whatever open seat we could find... most of the empty tables were dirty, and we thought about leaving, but oh my goodness are we glad we stayed... the skinny fries are amazing, the Breakfast burrito was awesome, ( beware thought the salsa is HOT) my wife said her French Dip was the best she has ever had, and she loved her Margarita! Would we go back? For sure! A little more expensive than casual dining, but we'll worth it! read more

We were visiting Apple Valley this past Saturday and were looking for a new place to try. My husband found this place and we were glad we tried it. It was an out of the way pub that was hopping inside. We were greeted at the door and told to pick a seat wherever we wanted. Cheryl was our server and came to greet us at the table very quickly. That woman was moving, it was busy with only the bar tender and two servers, but she was so pleasant and responsive. So how about the food? We started with apps, fried pickle spears that were delicious, crispy and not too sour, and mozzarella sticks. I didnt get those but my family said they were great. For our meals, I had the Western bacon cheese burger. It was stacked high with a large patty cooked to a medium perfection, topped with lettuce, tomates, cheddar cheese BBQ sauce, two large, crispy strips of bacon and two huge, crunchy onion rings and also served with a large portion of steak fries. I could only eat half my burger. My mom got the French dip sandwich with a side of criss cut sweet potato fries. She enjoyed here's but also could only eat half. My husband had the Bourbon Jack buger and enjoyed his. My son had the Otrega chili burger and also enjoyed his. Overall, great food, huge portions, great prices and friendly staff. Thank your staff for all their hard work! read more

I want to give a 3.5 to be fair. The food is good and good portions. Prices a little much but not considering the area and atmosphere. My main problem is service. It's long to be waited on, probably should be clear on what you want from the jump. The workers are always friendly and informative. read more

Food is outstanding! Highly recommend wing Wednesday and Burger Thursday! Excellent Bloody Mary! Service is improving but it takes a while to order. We usually have to call a server over to help. We are within walking distance of this place and would go a lot more if the service improved. read more
