Classic Burger
Yurie H.

Colorful beer pub with lots of spacious and sic rock music. My fiancé and I came here for the Wednesday burger deal ($7.99 for Oklahoma or classic burger). happy hour is 3-6 PM on weekdays so we made it to that as well. We sat at the one of the tables, good amount of TVs, bar seating, and outdoors. Not sure if they were low on staff but took 15 min to get our server. We ordered the classic burger, hazy ipa, sweet potato fries, and purple rain donut dessert. For $7.99 burger was generous in size. Very beefy and bread was soft, a little too greasy for me but overall hearty and filling. My fiances sweet potato fries were amazing, not overly salty or greasy and it was fun waffle shaped. Purple rain was crispy not too big and a great sweet treat at the end! Wish the inside was berry than chocolate filling. Overall solid place for HH. Would love to come to taco Tuesday my next visit!

Sauces to go
Angela D.

Hubby and I were on the road and we were desperately hungry and needed food. Without yelping the place, we took a leap of faith and ordered blindly over the phone. We got two burgers, southwest egg rolls, sweet potatoes waffle fries, and regular fries to go for $52. They put all of our sauces in a separate container and they made sure to include them all: ketchup, mayo, mustard, and chipotle aioli sauce. Everything tasted delicious and they were fast this Friday, late afternoon.

Beer Flight - You can customize!!!
Gabe B.

First time visiting this location in Tustin. We came with our daughter and son-in-law and granddaughter. Terrific atmosphere for adults but also for kids. They have a playground area outside that was the center point for the young at heart. We enjoyed the bone in and boneless wings with Thai Chili sauce that was just the right heat - Not over the top. Love the huge number of beers on tap and the fact that you can customize your beer flight with any of the beers listed and not a select list. Our server Bryce was awesome who came by numerous times to check in on us and refill drinks. The place is great for families with kids and also for adults. We will definitely come back when in town.

Chill spot for lunch. Worth to come just for the vibes! Kids can have fun too at the play place

Went to rock and brews for the first time for a get together with fellow dads for an organization I am a part of and couldn't have been more pleased with the food, beer list and ambiance. I had some amazing short rib tacos and a few lagers and was impressed to seee a large indoor and heated outdoor seating area as well as some TVs to take in sporting events. The one thing I would critique would be the service as they appeared significantly short staffed for a weekend service and it delayed our large party receiving both our food and drinks. I have been a server in a few previous jobs and they lost track of orders and took way too much time to get food and drink to its proper place. I did love the pastries that we received to make up for them not having the cinnamon girl pudding as part of yelp coupon. Delicious and so large I had to split with 3 others

Asian boneless wings
Brian K.

I really liked this place. My wife and kids all liked the food and it came out pretty quickly. Service was great and I'd probably eat that burger again. We got the sweet and spicy boneless wings to start and those were a hit. My son and I got the gastropub burger and we both killed it. Fries were also good. My wife and son both got the shrimp pasta and thought it was great. Great atmosphere and decor. Like a much cooler Hard Rock Cafe.

Rock & Brews epitomizes the family restaurant but with a rock 'n' roll twist. According to their website, their "founders have a natural appreciation for Rock 'n' Roll music, an affinity for craft beer, and a desire for classic comfort food." I've visited a number of times with the fam and I can vouch for the restaurant being kid friendly. The Tustin location has a play area which is perfect if you have young children. The kids can play while their parents throw back a few cold ones! I appreciate all the rock 'n' roll themed decor and album covers, so check out the art displayed on the walls and ceiling next time you visit. Service is friendly and attentive. On my most recent visit, I ordered a smash burger and upgraded my side to a Caesar salad. It wasn't the best smash burger I've had, but it was tasty nonetheless. I washed down my meal with a Franziskaner which they had on draft. Rock & Brews has a legit tap list and they also serve wine and "rocktails". They even have a happy hour! Pro Tip: I recommend calling in before you visit to see if there are any special events being held on-site. We showed up once for a kid's birthday party and there was a School of Rock performance happening at the same time. Good music, but it was difficult to carry a conversation due to how loud it was and none of us brought ear plugs.

Oklahoma Smash Burger

This place is pretty good. The food is flavorful and has a nice touch. The service is great, the people are friendly and kind. The ambiance is a little cold but I do like the big windows and the music videos playing. Overall, I recommend giving it a try. They also have a nice outdoor area. The beer selection is nice too.

Half off wings for Monday and Thursday Night Football
Dennis L.

I do love the atmosphere here. It is so unique. As a musician I really appreciate the rock band motif and decor all throughout the place. It's also great that this place just gives a ver patriotic vibe and it is dog friendly! The servers are always great and accommodating The food however, is very average in my opinion. In the past I have had their pulled pork sandwich, chipotle glazed wings, 3 street tacos on Taco Tuesday. All of which were very average. I love pulled pork sandwiches everywhere I go, but it was very dry and the sauce was not that good. The wings were OK, but much better at places like BJ's. The 3 taco plate was not enjoyable at all Today I had the turkey club sandwich. This was delicious. My kid had the chicken Caesar which again was below average. Kid told me the chicken was dry and the croutons were stale. My kid and I frequent this place because we get BOGO free entree coupon in the mail every month. Otherwise, I honestly don't think we would come that often. If there was a big football game on, I can picture myself coming to enjoy the company. But aside from that, if there was no coupon... I do think they are a bit understaffed as well. Every time we have come we have had to wait a while before getting seated. And this is when the place is a bit empty.

I am here for LFC-ManU and the atmosphere is electric. Unfortunately the service is anything but. The first male server took our drink order and our card to start a tab, and we also asked for a menu. He did not return. At the end of the first half, we flagged down a female server and told her what happened. She took our drink order and said she would return with menus. She never came back. We finally saw the first server towards the end of the match and told him we never got our drinks. He came back 10 minutes later with only one of our drinks, a coffee, and forgot the rest. Still no menus. I was thinking maybe it was because we were seated in the patio, but there so many other tables with food and drinks on them. I've been here for dinner several times and had no issues. So maybe the staff as overwhelmed with the morning crowd. Next time I'll bring my own food and drinks since they won't notice anyways.

The combo pizza with caramelized onions - Delish!
Carrie R.

It was just too hot to cook tonight so we took the fam out for a TGIF dinner! The place was crazy busy - the front staff seemed a little discombobulated so there were several groups waiting to be seated. I think there were just too many people at the front, so we kept getting asked how many people in our group, then we'd just wait. Once seated, we ordered some nachos as an appetizer right away (we got it meatless this time) - they were delicious! I'm thinking we must have been starving because I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them before we devoured them! The chips were light, the cheese sauce was really good (& that's coming from a girl who doesn't usually like cheese sauce) - and all the toppings were really good. We all really enjoyed them!! Like I mentioned, the restaurant was really busy, and our waitress, Elena, was running around to all her tables she was waiting on - we had a little bit of a wait at the beginning, but then once she was able to get our orders, things moved along real smoothly. Elena checked in with us periodically, cleared our dirty plates, and if we needed anything, she got it as soon as she could. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and friendliness! Everyone enjoyed their meals. A couple of us got the combo pizza, then we also got fish and chips, chicken sandwich, and beet salad. All of our meals were really good! And we ended the meal with their delicious s'mores dessert. We could have probably used more graham crackers - I'm sure they would have given us some if we asked for them, but we were getting full so we didn't ask. We like that their outside patio is jjkpup friendly! And our pups really like the menu. This is one of our favorite spots to have dinner with the pups!

I had high hopes going to the Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series game, but my experience was ruined by a truly disgusting surprise. Halfway through my nachos, I found an old, chewed-up, what looked like a hot sauce cap buried under the toppings. It was filthy, and who knows how long it had been sitting there! I lost my appetite immediately. I expected at least a basic level of cleanliness and quality control. This completely ruined my experience, and I'll think twice before buying food here again.

Bread pudding
Nicolas J.

The dessert is why I came, I tried the Alice cooper spicy burger. I ate most of it but wouldn't order again not my favorite item. My main complaint is I sat at the front for a solid like 10 mins before someone came to help me be seated. This occurred with other guests as I was witnessing too. Not sure if this store is short staffed but it was hard to "wait" to be seated when it was slow and it basically looked like I came in before they opened. If it wasn't for the fact people outside were dining I'd of thought "maybe I came too early" One of the managers came and refilled my drink she was by the bathroom with someone else on a computer. My server changed before my meal was over. I basically was served by 3 different people over the course of my meal. Still like the decor, food was good, but customer service and hospitality was a bit below par. I've been to 3 other locations and sadly Tustin I don't think I'll be returning to in the future

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable. Plus I think you and your establishment are great and I wanted to detail that as well Kimberly.

And the cherry on top: we tried to order a grilled cheese and were told they ran out of bread (how?) and that they'd send Texas toast instead. Fine. Except then we're told the kitchen refused to make it. Not "we can't," not "it'll be a wait," but refused. So you're out of bread, out of major entrees, and the kitchen just decides it won't make a simple menu item? That's not a restaurant -- that's dysfunction. This place felt disorganized, unprepared, and honestly kind of careless. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Save your money and your time.
