Newhall Refinery

Dropped by and was very happy I did. Great food and atmosphere. I got a smash burger and it was probably one of the best I've ever had. Surprised it wasn't crowded. Will.be coming back soon. Service was great. An icon for how resteraunts should be run.

I was honestly surprised with how good the food was. When you think of pub food, you can could get it anywhere but this food was very much elevated. I got the salmon plate and that was one of the best crispy skin salmons I’ve had in a long time. My husband got the fish and chips and he said the same. One of the best fish and chips he has had. Other dishes that were had was the Philly and the smash burger. All really delicious dishes. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

Came in for a birthday dinner with the wifey. We were seated within minutes even tho it was busy for them. Our server took our order and brought us our drinks also within minutes. Very very professional and happy place to have a nice dinner and time in. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!! FOOD IS AMAZING! Drinks are also great! I love the Mango weat beer.

Great dining! Hits all the points our waitress knew what was goin on in the kitchen, had already tasted the dishes and desserts so she was educated about the flavors and how many were left of items. Clean, friendly place and I absolutely loved that the chef comes out to talk to customers and see how they are liking the meals. Been here a few times now and have not been disappointed. Everything I've tried so far has all been made in-house which is a big plus. Recommend making reservations online during the weekends seeing that this place does get busy and the food will let you know why!

Great place to have a meal. Quality food, great selection of beers and wines. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was spot on. Definitely would recommend it.

My husband & I aren’t from around here and decided to try this place out because it’s so highly reviewed. The atmosphere is great, plenty of parking and everyone there is super friendly and attentive. However, the menu is extremely limited and the food is nothing special. It’s not overpriced so it gets a pass but wouldn’t recommend.

Their Impossible burger was possibly the best I've ever had. The service staff were all friendly, responsive and accommodated our largish group well. All that in a great, rustic atmosphere. I highly recommend the place.

Newhall Refinery was a great weekday lunch stop! There were a couple other customers, but no wait, and quick attentive service. We started by sharing the Peach & Burrata salad, but I was so hungry I forgot to snag a picture. They were out of peaches, so substituted strawberries, and it was a decent salad. My wife ordered the Pork & Apple entree, which was an exquisite bone-in pork chop with a mouthwatering apple cider glaze. I had the Fried Chicken Sando. This isn’t your average chicken sandwich. Each bite of chicken was had the crispy fried flavor you expect, and tender chicken through. 10/10 would recommend both dishes.

On the way to our girls Show Choir competition we needed a place to grab a quick-ish meal that would satisfy for a long evening. Newhall Refinery didn't disappoint. We were promptly seated. There's outside seating in a little old town Village feel. We sat inside. Table was a high top and close to others and a little small. I worried a little as the air was pumping and I knew my wife, Gwen, was probably not loving the cold on her. But the service and food made up for it. I'd in town again, we'd def go again!

Was truly blown away by the service and food here we walked in 15 minutes before they switched over to the night menu which by itself looked amazing but we truly came for a couple items on the regular menu, after talking to the server, she asked Chef and they allow us to order from the regular menu. Their smash burger is phenomenal!, Juicy, crispy and flavorful and made you want more everything a burger should do for you. The Ragu was out of this world. It felt like it was cooking in a grandma's kitchen for a complete day because it was packed with amazing flavors that I could not get enough. Now, let's talk about these cocktails! Yes, yes, yes!!! They were well priced and delicious. The spicy margarita was muddled with cilantro, and it was a first for me, and I surely loved it. Another great one is the maple old-fashioned which was delicious as well. The space is well laid out and a great vibe in the ambience. Wish this place was closer to home because this will become my local pub.

I was honestly surprised with how good the food was. When you think of pub food, you can could get it anywhere but this food was very much elevated. I got the salmon plate and that was one of the best crispy skin salmons I've had in a long time. My partner got the fish and chips and he said the same. One of the best fish and chips he has had. Other dishes that were had was the Philly and the smash burger. All really delicious dishes. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

Very busy popular place with a modern Industrial aesthetic. Fun bar, menu and signature cocktails. the service was knowledgeable. The food came out quickly. Everything tasted pretty good. The fish and chips was by far as a favorite. I will definitely be back.

Atmosphere counts for a lot in my book, and Newhall Refinery has one of the best I have seen in Santa Clarita, especially for a gastropub. I don't think my pictures will do it justice. The theme is Western/California, it is warm, cozy, rustic and clever with little extras like nails coming out of the rough-hewn picture frames and leather-like upholstery. Since there is a cow-country theme in Newhall anyway, I thought this was a nice way to emphasize it. Now, for the menu -- not a lot for vegetarians. I always manage to cobble together things so I had the Drunk Mac and it was very good, rich and flavorful. My friends had Fish and Chips and pronounced it excellent. There were salads, a cheese board with fruit, and an Impossible Burger for those who are looking for variety. Next time I will hit the brunch time slot so I can try other things that look good on that menu. The music was a plus -- Baby Boomer stuff, mostly 70s and 80s, very upbeat and at just the right volume level. The restaurant was largely full and stayed that way while we were there on a rainy afternoon. We had a reservation and were seated in the place of our choice. Everything was clean and our server, Steven, was a joy. Friendly, professional, efficient -- couldn't be better. We all had dark beer including Old Rasputin and Moose Drool Brown -- love those names and they were very good, I had my 3 ounces, LOL. Dessert was exceptional and unusual: Strawberry Rye Bread pudding, rich and delicious but somehow light and elegant. You have to try it. I loved the place. I would like them to take the bacon out of the Brussels sprouts or at least offer a version without it. Maybe add a non-Impossible-style burger (tastes too much like meat for me) made from legumes, etc. But those are just little tweaks. Overall, it is a great casual spot that adds to the growing importance and fun on Main Street, in Old Town Newhall. This is now heading toward the top of my local list. Don't miss it.

I absolutely love the spicy jalapeño cucumber margarita! The appetizers, meal choices and desserts are so good!

Drink prices were great - bartender didn't know how to make the drink we requested but he was incredibly accommodating and made it to perfection!

3 x ... had plumbing problems during our time to dine. Ironically my husband is a plumber... suggested on the new owner at the time... Food was okay, service not great.

Every time I've been here it's been good. My pork chop was so amazingly delicious. I didn't expect it because at first this place looks like there will be a lot of bar food. But it's a really good gastropub style restaurant. My pork was huge thick cut and very juicy . Apple sauce on the plate is not too sweet ..a little vinegary and a little sweet. Fish & chips were good too..not oily and fish was crispy outside .well seasoned. Burger was so good! Juicy and well cooked! Service was friendly even though they are very busy running around! Not sure if they're understaffed or what? Another thing....drinks were excellent. Got a clarified whiskey drink. Unbelievable.

It was an impromptu decision to make the 20 mile drive to the Newhall Refinery on Main Street in Santa Clarita. While we were on the road, we were informed that there would be a 45 minute wait. But when we got there, they said they could seat us soon, and they did. The gastropub, a first in the Santa Clarita Valley, is well known for its selection of craft beers and handcrafted cocktails. Menu is limited, but contains fare that can satisfy the not so picky diner. The dining space is small, but very cozy and inviting with seating both inside and out. What is most appealing is the open kitchen inside, allowing you to watch the chefs at work. We ordered the Cali Burger ($25) and the fish and chips ($21). Both were good. Best part was their garlic fries that came with the two entrees. The best I have had, made not with garlic powder but with real mashed up pieces of garlic cloves. Service was superb. All around a satisfying Saturday night dining experience, in old town Newhall.

Excellent food and service. Cameron was very attentive to detail. The cucumber martini was great. The short rib melt on sourdough was spectacular.

We were invited here by my Girlfriend's brother and his wife. Neither of us had been here before. The atmosphere is very cool, trendy, and attitudes of everyone working there were great. However, my personal issues weren't with the ambiance or demeanors of the staff. It was with the food orders and drinks themselves. I've never been to any place where the bar tender couldn't blend a margarita? I found this interesting but okay. It was very good and the margarita was one of their signatures, but the focus was so much on the flavor that you would have had to order multiple on multiple to taste or get alcohol. And, they aren't cheap. Then on the food orders, my girlfriend and I both had requests on our food orders to have somethings on the side, or added, etc. The waitress said yes, but when we got the orders nothing was done as we requested. The food wasn't cheap, so a customer requests definitely should have been fulfilled. I ordered a salad, extra with my order with ranch dressing, and as with everything else they did what they wanted and brought out my salad with their vinaigrette alot of it. As I said the ambiance was very cool and staff totally cool, but nobody listened or could do as the customer asked, I simply found this odd....

We hadn't been here in a couple years and were excited to return. The food was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired with fancy potatoes. The cocktail (strawberry martini) was made well, very yummy but maybe too light on the vodka. They seemed a bit understaffed but the ambiance was as great as ever! I'd definitely come back for the beignets & coffee dessert.

Delicious! Service was great and atmosphere is fun but relaxed. I had the Refinery salad. It was very good, maybe a tad too much dressing but overall very tasty. My husband had the Philly sandwich and said it was awesome. I may have stolen a couple of garlic fries, which were so good! I highly recommend.

A bit noisy but excellent food and service. We took mom for dinner when she visited us from Iowa.

Cool spot in a quaint little town! I visited Newhall Refinery while staying in the area for a work trip. This spot is good for groups and families. I got the short rib fries which were okay but they were lacking in flavor. The bar scene isn't vibrant at all (at least not at 7pm on Friday when we were there) but the drinks are great!

Delicious food! Great service! I ordered the fish collar and it was the best I've ever had. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu when I'm out that way again soon!

Made reservations for my birthday on OpenTable for lunch on Sunday. They were very accommodating. I had to push my reservation back 15 minutes because of a traffic accident. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was pretty empty. You could tell staff that the rush had just finished and they were exhausted but friendly. Service was slow but warm and welcoming. Tried the hot brown. The flavor was good. Too many potatoes but an ample amount of sauce as well. Having had a real hot brown at the Brown in Kentucky all I can say is they did their best. Next time I go, I will try something different. Our waitress was very friendly and did bring a birthday piece of cheesecake.

Ambiance was ok, kinda dead when we walked in. We were able to sit anywhere. The bartender went out of his way to provide a high chair for the baby right away. We ordered a cheese board , I would give it a 6/10 didn't have much variation of meats or cheeses. I ended up ordering a Craft burger with fries. I loved the fact that they add garlic to the fries. To our surprise the owner had changed so the menu is different then the one found on yelp. Our waitress was nice. Service overall was ok.

Service was ok. Ambiance ok. I came in for an shareable appetizer ans a couple of drinks. I will not order anything else or even bother coming back. The food prices are ridiculous expensive. 25.00 for a burger? I'll head on over to applebees with their bacon and more bacon burger deal at 9.99 burger is juicy and thicker than yours

Got a drunk mac which was pretty decent, but you're still looking at close to $20 for a mac and cheese. Came in piping hot, but for me personally, it just wasn't worth it. Not bad overall, but don't think I would come back.

Arrived in time for happy hour on Sunday (4-6pm) w/ deals on drinks and appetizers. Jalapeño Margarita's and Old Fashioned were on point as were the Brussels Sprouts (w/ red bell pepper and chunks of bacon) and Fish Collar. Finished the meal with dessert "Doughnuts and Coffee" - a really light airy delicious pastry, Beignets, served with hazelnut mouse and coffee ice cream. Excellent service and a fun bar vibe.

One of fave places to go on Main on our Thursday outings. The food is yummy and the service is nice. Beer, fries and burger, what else do you need for a perfect evening

We visited for Sunday brunch. The staff was friendly, but there were some order issues. We waited 40 minutes for 2 burgers. However, they comped our meal, which was a nice gesture. The burgers were delicious, and despite the restaurant seeming to have an off day, the staff remained friendly.

The atmosphere is new American Gastropub feel. Nice vibe and friendly staff. I ordered the Craft burger. It was delicious, tender and juicy!! My wife ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was spectacular!! Well seasoned and tender too! If you're in the area you should give this place a try. Hell, it's worth a drive if you're not in the area!!

Very cute location! In old town. You can find parking towards the back. This was my first time here & I felt very welcomed! It was a very much "seat yourself" situation when we arrived, but I didn't mind that at all. I noticed a hostess at the front when we left, though. Kind of dark lighting and interior, but we chose to sit beside the window for natural light. The bartender made amazing drinks with the perfect balance of strength from the liquor of choice. The presentation was flawless as well. I ordered the raspberry bees knees and it had a punch to it! 9/10 for me. Would give it a solid 10 if I had more of it LOL. For food, I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich with their fries. Can I just say -- THEIR REGULAR FRIES ARE SEASONED WITH GARLIC and are just absolutely delicious. Crispy and fresh, I wanted more!!!! The chicken was golden, thick patty and very juicy. Hot enough to enjoy but not cry your eyes out. Could be spicier in my opinion, tho. I'm not a fan of slaw in my sandwiches but I had zero complaints!! 10/10 Their ranch and ketchup tastes homemade?? Not sure if it is.. but it's fresh and tasty. Please give this spot a try. We were in and out within 40 mins. Service was great :)

May today be the Fridayest Friday they ever Fridayed. Let's begin this Fridaylicious review. Newhall Refinery is an American farm-to-fork restaurant and cocktail bar dedicated to serve natural sustainable products that produce the best possible flavor. It's located on Main street in the HEART of Old Town Newhall, California. NHR's interior has a rustic modern design with spacious dim lit layout and exposed wooden ceiling. Furthermore, their open kitchen is situated in-front of the dining area where you can see your food and drinks getting prepared. Food menu was limited; drink items were categorically abound. We came to celebrate my golden age birthday. Upon arrival, we're cordially greeted by a hostess whereby we confirmed our reservation. We perused their menu and ordered a Bone Marrow for starters; Alaskan Salmon and Pan Roasted Chicken as main course. For drinks we had The Mai Tai and Mint Martini. And for dessert, we ordered a double chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Both our food were flavorful, soft and spectacularly tasty. Similarly, we enjoyed our cocktail - wine as well as our cake dessert. We were served by obsequious waitress. And her service was on point. NHR's atmosphere was relaxing and chill where the background music was loud enough where you can still have conversations. Prices were on a high end but match the quality of food\drinks. Parking was plentiful. Overall, I enjoyed the food and drinks. I recommend this place.

Great brewery. I would say this is more of an atmosphere and drinks location. I was surprised by the food as it is surprisingly very good. Great drinks and great vibes, whats not to like? I would recommend to make reservations beforehand! Please note they do have a limit for party's and/or tables.

Overall a solid spot. The hours posted outside aren't updated yet, so the Yelp hours are correct. The menu via QR code has more options than the printed menu. Their menu offers a wide variety of food - it was so hard to choose! Great problem to have. Service: Fantastic! Our server was Matt who was polite, funny, and wonderful!! Seriously - what a great attitude!!! He definitely contributed to our experience. Very welcoming and treated all his guests like family. Ambiance: Rustic + Western. It's dim inside, which we liked! Cute decor that sets the mood for a date or a night out with friends. Food: Good! OJ was fresh and yummy. The drunk Mac is BAWMB. Like BAWMMMBBB. The alcohol flavor is subtle and masterfully done. The sauce is creamy and the noodles are cooked perfectly (I hate mushy mac!). I just wish it was bigger - it was hard for me to share it because it was sooooooooooo good. I got the fish & chips, and my husband got the hot chicken sandwich with refinery fries. My fish & chips were good, but I was expecting more flavor. I felt like it lacked salt or just something to give it "oomph". I agree with the other review about there being too much fries, but at least they're good fries, and it's better than having too little fries. I don't normally like coleslaw, but I loved my little side of coleslaw that came with the dish. The hot chicken sandwich was good, but we've also had better. We also felt like it didn't have spice. The refinery fries are bawmb. They taste like poutine fries and are absolutely delicious. For us- the Drunk Mac and refinery fries were the winners. I will definitely return to try the craft burger, and a double portion of that drunk mac!!!!

Went today I use to love this place. Today I decided to have lunch by myself I went to order my usual and today it didn't come out good. I ordered the fish and chips. The bread that was fried with the fish was uncooked my waitress was really nice but this time around I didn't like my food and was very disappointed.

Newhall Refinery: Where Beer is Plentiful But the Food is 2 Beers short of a six pack. The Newhall Refinery is a mixed bag. It has its high moments and low points. It's like a suspense novel - thrilling at times, underwhelming at others. If you're planning a visit, come for the relaxed ambiance and the fries, but steer clear of the food and especially the fish. It's a three-star experience that leaves room for improvement. Upon entry, the rustic charm of the place is evident. The wooden decor, keg handles on display, and lively atmosphere make for a setting that's comfortably casual, the kind of place where you can unwind after a long day. They have a few tables on the patio by the sidewalk which allows a nice view of old town newhall. In that light, the rustic charm of the restaurant is perfect for the rustic charm of old town newhall with the cowboy walk of fame. The service here deserves a nod. Our server was attentive, efficient, and tackled our orders with commendable professionalism. Her swift response set the pace for our culinary adventure. Our order consisted of fish and chips, an Impossible Burger with a side salad, and a heaping portion of fries and drinks. The fries were the highlight - they were golden, crispy, and the epitome of indulgence. They were the kind of fries that make you forget about your diet and reach for another handful. The refiner fries are drizzled with meat and sauce and are decadent. The Impossible Burger was satisfactory. It boasted a decent flavor, but its bed of lettuce was so saturated, it felt like we were navigating a soggy marshland and I switched to a knife and fork to eat the burger. The avocado was a nice touch on the burger. However, the fish and chips were a disappointment. The batter on the fish was tougher than a final round in a spelling bee and darker than a winter's night. It was so overcooked, you could probably use it as a makeshift doorstop. Our server was visibly taken aback when we pointed this out and promptly removed it from our bill and told us that she was immediately going to take it back to the back of the house.

We were in Newhall area and found this restaurant on yelp. We were hungry coming from a hike so the burger and the club sandwich just hit the spot. Lots of fries on my burger and husband got coleslaw on his. Service was prompt and server is so sweet. She even offered a to -go water cause she heard us talking about hiking. We enjoyed our lunch today. Very good and I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Fish and chips the best 10/10 , service was ok, restaurant has a good vibe cozy. I should give this place 4 stars bcuz the beer was not cold enough but fish and chips step up for the win.

Delicious food, great drinks and ambience. I ordered the braised beef ragu and it did not disappoint. They also serve you a generous pour of their imperial stout, Old Rasputin The music was on point if you like classic and psychedelic rock. My buddy had the steak and frites and my wife had the burger - everything was delicious. The refinery fries are an excellent start if you're doing an app. The only thing I would ask is for more meat! It was delicious but I needed more haha Also, our server was so sweet and attentive.

Could use more options on their menu. The location is great. I had a small issue with the service, can't remember exactly.

Really enjoy this place embryo time we come. There is always a place to be seated and the vibe is chill. The food here is always fantastic. Always. Recently I do believe they added some new items to the limited menu. Less choices makes for good choices so you know you're going to get quality. Beer and wine selection here is great too, and if you have room for dessert, get it!

Terrible salty food I think a hamburger from in n out would have been a much better choice. The French fries were super garlicky and the Mac n cheese was watery. The service was mediocre, didn't ask if we wanted a drink or dessert, took forever for the drink to arrive and we mentioned birthday on the open table reservation but there was nothing done about it either. Pricy too Wouldn't go back !

Great food; original dishes. Wonderful bar and atmosphere. Fun place. We will be back real soon!

The reviews of this place are of course right on. Nothing disappointed for me as the guest of honor at my own birthday celebration. The service was spot on from the moment we called to check on availability of a table to accommodate six including an elderly guest. We were immediately greeted and seated and within just a minute or two, menus arrived and drink orders taken. We started with a version of loaded fries, Brussel sprouts and Mac and Cheese. It was devoured immediately with everyone raving about flavors etc. Entrees included smash burgers, fish and chips the Ragu pasta dish and of course a kids grilled cheese for grandma. Nothing left on any plate which should indicate the quality of the food. Cocktails rounded off an excellent culinary experience. Thank you for making my birthday so enjoyable!

I'm late on posting this review but.... I didn't come here as a "beer enthusiast" just on the suggestion for a place to dine. We had a good time here, though I do think the spacing between the seats was quite tight which made getting up and out to use the restroom more of a mission than you'd expect. The atmosphere is a tad louder than you'd like for the average conversation. Overall a really cool place with lots to look at in the way of decor! The fried pickle spears were amazing, though I wish they'd been more tender so when you bite through them the whole pickle doesn't just try to slide right out, but the idea is GREAT and I am there for it! Also highly suggesting the pretzels! So so good and an unexpected item to have on their menu. The pricing wasn't astronomical compared to other venues of the like, contrary to what reviews will say. It just is what it is in this economy! I enjoyed my experience overall and we will definitely give it another go!

Our trip to SoCal started with dinner at Newhall Refinery. The decor is cool and the upside down old keg handles on the ceilings were one I haven't seen before. The restaurant was understaff. There was as a couple who left as they were not attendee to. At 6:30pm, not every table was occupied but only two waiters were there including the bartended who also was our primary waiter.' He multi tasked in making drinks, pouring beer and wine and also waiting on other tables. Hats off to this dude! He should get a raise. The food itself was sub par. Fish and chips was soggy and bland. The salmon looks good but was dry and overly cooked. My son's chicken was ok, for the price of the meal, I would have thought they would give life a chicken leg. Also, Brussel sprouts had a little too much of a balsamic vinegar. Next time im in town, I would go back to try drinks and not the food.

Tried this place out on a quiet weekday afternoon. Seems like a place that you can enjoy on both a quiet weekday for lunch/dinner or a busy weekend evening to hangout with friends. Both waitress and bar staff's service was quick and attentive. Drinks were tasty as well as the food! Really enjoyed this spot and will be back soon

First time here. Fish collar is 10/10 and beyond expectation. Charcuterie board is 8/10. Cheese burger is from the kids menu. We will be back.

One of my all time favorite places ever . Delicious prices right and always on point with their service

Came here on a Sunday with my boyfriend and we ordered the Craft Burger and the Breakfast Burrito. The burger was messy and delicious, I would definitely order it again! The burrito was average, we've had better and at a cheaper price.

If you have a sophisticated palate and are an adventurous diner you will love this restaurant. It specializes in supporting local produce and creating original cuisine. It's really special and the wait staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and very amiable. Their presence here really uplifts our community and really accentuates the contemporary vibe that downtown Newhall is trying to exemplify. It's funny when we first moved here we were basically mall rats, now we frequent DTN exclusively and it's a lot of fun!

Clean fresh take pub bar experience, Great for beer lovers as they have a nice variety of beer and ales although that's not what I tried while there. I just stopped in for a quick late lunch early dinner. However, I love the refinery themed decor and collection of beer tap handles on the ceiling, Wild West history subtly infused without being over the top. I ordered the Refinery's Fries, they were okay, not as good as the reviews make them out to be though as they are simply fries with white gravy and brisket on top. Some cheese and onions would be a nice edition to top these fries off. As I was leaving the people were just beginning to come in there was only two other tables taken when I came so I thought oh it's very empty but I was there a little early, between 3 -4 pm. There were about six tables as I was leaving so I think it gets busy evenings and nights. All the staff were friendly and appropriately attentive. Great spot for groups, friend gatherings and mini celebrations.

Stopped in for a date night after hearing some local reviews. I must say, the cocktails were better than on par. Reminiscent of boutique cocktail bars I've been to. The bartender and servers were very attentive and cheery. The refinery came with the food though. Reading the menu, like many high priced spots, was artistic and well written in its entrée description. Often I have found these types of attempts to "pump up" their dishes lacking. Not this time. The dishes met every word with grace. Though pricey (thank you inflation) this spot is the perfect date night or the every date night in the SCV area.

Love this place. Food is great. Staffs are so polite and courteous. We will be back 100%.

The staff is great and the food and drinks were superb. They get busy on the weekends so get there early. A great experience!
