The Old Town Junction

Great spot to meet with friends, family, or fun times for 2. The food is great, and the craft cocktails are nicely done. Had the Kalbi tacos, they were amazing, full of flavor like a party. The Ahi taco were also good. Service was friendly and on it. Has a good vibe for any age group. Live music was a great add to a fun afternoon. Definitely will come back and recommend checking it out!

Fire drinks, great vibe, amazing food, and great service with a smile. Would definitely recommend giving them a try. Starts around 20$ mains 30 to 50$ beers 10$, custom drinks $20.

Super fun place in old town Santa Clarita / Newhall. Energetic vibe inside. Glad I made a reservation. We ate outside and got to listen to a live band and watch the trains go by. Stellar service and delicious food - especially the scallops. Had a White Linen and Empress Island for drinks. The bread pudding for dessert was one step too decadent for my night but I couldn’t resist. They had Thursday night football on TV and a huge window into the kitchen.

Hands down the best steak salad I have ever had. This was my second time here and I have had phenomenal experiences each time. The first time I had the steak and frites which was delicious. The second time I came for a late lunch and had the steak salad. Normally when you get a steak salad you expect a few sad slices of steak on top of a bed of lettuce but this far exceeded my expectations.

Stopped here for lunch. The food was amazing! There's several vegetarian options. The fried artichoke was a game changer. My cousin said the short rib taco was the best she's ever had. The mushroom toast was also amazing. Now I see why they are always packed in the evenings. Highly recommend!

So grateful for others reviews, as a result we had a fantastic lunch. The artichokes are a definite must!

Why I Recommend The Junction in Old Town Newhall The Junction stands out as one of the finest dining experiences in Santa Clarita, bringing a distinctive edge of craftsmanship to foods and drinks that people genuinely love. It's the perfect starting point for a Friday or Saturday night out, especially for date night, with other breweries, pubs, and wine bars within walking distance to continue your evening. What makes The Junction special is how they apply creative craft to familiar favorites without veering into pretentious territory. Their cocktail program exemplifies this approach - the Painkiller delivers a creamy coconut rum experience that transports you to the South Pacific, while the Mezcal Sunset offers an intriguing balance of tangy, sweet, and spicy notes with a potent kick. For food, nothing in Santa Clarita compares to their 40-ounce Tomahawk steak with sides. Though listed for two, it comfortably fed six of us during my wife's birthday celebration. Beyond this showstopper, their menu excels across all categories - the braised short rib delivers complex comfort, the Loco Moco makes for perfect post-workout satisfaction, and their French dip stands out with its saucy, juicy perfection. The Junction succeeds where many restaurants fail - creating a space that works for every occasion, from casual meals to elevated date nights to special celebrations. It's not another cookie-cutter chain restaurant; it's a place with a distinct personality and consistent quality that makes every visit feel worth the investment. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Junction offers that rare combination of creative quality, satisfying food, and an atmosphere that's both comfortable and energizing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Had a great time here! We only got drinks, but they were great! Nice vibe in a cool spot in town. We came here to chill and it was a perfect place to celebrate some good news!

This place. What a find! My client had me pick where to go to dinner and she and her husband have never been here. He's a vegetarian and they looked like they had some good options. Located right on the corner, there is parking conveniently located around on the street. I think they had just changed their menu. It was hard to pick! I ended up with the seared ahi tuna and the fried artichokes. The artichokes legit looked like chicken drumsticks. My client ordered the scallops with the cornbread and that was by far the best! I also got to taste her beet salad and also amazing! I was super jealous of those scallops though. Her husband ordered the impossible tacos and the serving was huge! I ordered the chili your melons drink-how fun is that name? It was just right-perfectly refreshing with a light watermelon taste. I really wanted dessert, but didn't have room. I decided to get the carrot cake to go. I snuck a couple of bites when I got back to my hotel room. I wanted to eat it all, but decided it would be amazing for breakfast. And guess what-? It was!!

The food is 5 stars alllll the way. I only gave 4 stars to the experience because The room they have behind the bar for additional seating is just a box essentially. It looks like they usually host big parties in that room which makes sense but the acoustics in there is overwhelming. Took my friend for his bday and we were sat in the dining room boxed area and there were THREE enormous parties there just enjoying their time but being incredibly loud. So you can imagine, screaming people in a boxed room=voices just bouncing off the walls aggressively. So much so, my friend and I weren't even able to have dinner talk, we just ate. Also, there was no Ac in that section and if there was, it wasn't felt. If they opened the window in that room it would have alleviated the heat and the overwhelming acoustic sound I'm sure. But overall, the waiters were AMAZING and the food was stellar. Highly recommend just eating in the bar/first dining area if you come here.

Good food, more of a bar scene with bar food. We went years ago and the food felt more new American... and fun... fresh...the last couple of times it's been more of a bar food type of experience. With that being said their fried chicken sandwich is delicious and, the ambience is fun , service is good. We will go back, but it will be more for the location and drinks and not so much the food.

Had the french dip and crispy chicken on salad. The French dip was on a bland side but with the dip and fries, it was fine 3.5 stars. The crispy chicken was interesting. Even in white meat (I'm a dark meat guy). 5 stars. The salad was shredded. Wish it wasn't 3 stars. Hardware & software (people) both 5 stars. This place can get pricey if you are not careful our meal with 1 soda came to $60

Not sure what's the hype about, the food was okay nothing outstanding, same goes for the drinks. Service was great from the hostess to waiters and supporting staff, they all make you feel welcome. We waited for 1+ hr for a table. We were meeting friends there, they were running late, similar restaurants around the area had the same wait so we decided it was best to wait for a table. I tried doing reservations before but I didn't see an option. I was told you can call them at least 24 hrs before to make reservations, I suggest you call ahead. As for food, it was so standard, the burger had nothing impressive nor the other sandwiches, same for appetizers, it looks really busy however they have a good system because we didn't wait long for food. Music was playing a little on the loud side, still you can manage conversations with the group.

The first visit to Old Town Junction set the stage for a memorable experience. The bar atmosphere was lively, and the waitress added to the enjoyment with great service and engaging conversation. When we returned for dinner, the exceptional food surpassed our expectations. The fried artichoke with pistachios and lemon ricotta was a divine culinary creation that left us in awe. Each bite was a burst of flavors that showcased the chef's expertise. The place tends to get packed, but the wait is undeniably worth it for the culinary delights that follow. Old Town Junction is a gem where good times and exceptional dining converge.

The food was well seasoned and the drinks were tasty! It was very packed when we went but we walked in without reservations for 8 people and got seated at the high top. The salmon was good, the steak frites was solid and the prime rib was solid. I think for the area the food was good, and ambiance was quaint and nice.

Came here on a Saturday for brunch and the service was great. We were seated very quickly and our server was super friendly. Ordered a couple drinks and I ordered the American Breakfast. Food was amazing and the potatoes were delicious. I would for sure come back again for brunch.

I came here for the first time on a Saturday for brunch with some friends and I absolutely loved the restaurant! Ambiance/Service: 5/5 *There is indoor and outdoor seating. The indoors has such a vibe, full bar and all! *The waitress we had was very friendly, attentive, patient with us and had such a wonderful personality! Food/Drink: 5/5 *As mentioned, we had come here for brunch, the menu is pretty extensive. I ended up waiting for 11 to roll around so I could order from the lunch instead. *I ordered the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast= $39... The duck was cooked perfectly! It comes with a blackberry apricot chutney, cauliflower potato puree, heirloom carrots, fennel salad and apricot jus. I am not usually a fan of cooked carrots, however the carrots here were cooked just right! *Drink: Bramblin' Man= $14... Comes with Elijah Craig Bourbon, muddled blackberries and orange, fresh lemon, agave, citrus bitters. The drink wasn't too sweet or heavy, it was quite light and refreshing!

Stopped here with my husband for some food on my way home from Ikea. I will say it did not disappoint. The food was delicious! My husbands pastrami sandwich was one of the best! It was simple yet flavorful . My tacos were small but packed so much flavor. I think I'll be back for sure! I'd like to try more of their food. The braised short rib looked amazing so I'll def be trying that next time!. Our server was very friendly and the food was out quick which was nice. Nice place to have a yummy dinner for sure.

Food in this restaurant is excellent. Starting with just the Kalbi tacos, you are in for an exciting adventure in this restaurant. The prime filet mignon is soft and flavorful. I have not tried the others but based on what I have tasted so far, I am confident that this restaurant will live up to my expectations. Service was great as waiters are attentive to my needs. And ambiance is perfect. I love the artwork on their walls and the spacing of the tables are perfect, IOW, not too crowded.

New favorite restaurant in SCV hands down! This place has all the vibes matched with great food! Great menu selection with very reasonable prices especially when considering the top food quality you receive here. This time around I ordered the prime rib sandwich & cheeseburger all to go. First, the service was extremely friendly & helpful. The lady taking my order recommended the prime rib sandwich & I'm glad she did because this sandwich was literal perfection. The prime rib melts in your mouth & is extremely flavorful & tender. This paired with the warm fluffy/crispy bread & dipping sauce was just to die for. The prime rib sandwich is a must order for sure. The cheeseburger was also delicious & huge in size. Definitely a quality burger with tons of flavor. Both entrees came with a side, I went with the fries which I can happily say exceeded my expectations. Side note get a side of their ranch & ketchup I have a feeling their sauces are made from scratch because the flavor & quality is unmatched. Beautiful location both inside & out I look forward to dining inside next time. By the way, for people ordering take out just note that they do stop accepting pickup orders at 5pm daily. Overall, great experience I can't wait to return!

We were in the area for the weekend and came across this restaurant to try and we are glad that we did! Every plate was plated beautifully and delicious! The server was attentive. I will definitely return if I am in the area again.

You know how you been wanting to try something, and when you try it, it's not what you expected? Well I'm here to say that it's not all that like I thought it would be. The food was cooked very well done and burnt. I tried the fried chicken Mac and cheese which was not good tasting whatsoever. The chicken was hard and to much garnish for me. For my entree I ordered the Ora King Salmon. The salmon was mediocre I felt it was cooked too long, a lot of garnish, and so was my side of roasted potatoes. Some flavor but overly cooked. Drink: I ordered the Rose Garden and it was very delicious. This is the reason for the 3 stars. I could of had 3 more of these it was that good! Service: The service was decent nothing too Crazy, our sever was friendly and nice so that to me is good. Also, the host was really sweet and let me wait for a table without reservations. I do like the accommodating! Ambiance: The ambiance is actually nice and a nice atmosphere with a good vibe. The bar area is really nice and gets crowded you can tell on the weekends. Overall, I would just come back for the drinks. The customer service was good and I do like the ambiance. I know sometimes it could be bad days so that is what I'm assuming it was for the food. Anyways, its in a good location, with easy parking on Main St, and lots of lot parking for free.

The service and food was awesome again . One of our go to places . The noise level is a little high in the back area but nothing unusually in a Busy place

Great food, service, ambiance! Would recommend to anyone looking for a loud and fun night filled with BBQ.

I'm giving a one star review because 4.5 stars is way too high. Coming from LA this isn't worthy.

We have gone to OTJ many times and we've always had a great experience. The food is on the pricey side, however, it's completely worth it. They have unique, flavorful dishes. Meat is cooked perfectly and will melt in your mouth. They also have a great drink menu and seasonal drinks which are super fun. We came here for my boyfriend's birthday and they had a nice dessert ready to celebrate (warm cookies). The service is always fast and the staff have always been kind. The restaurant looks very fancy and has a nice ambiance.

If you haven't been yet, GO! I've always been a fan of OTJ, but this weeks dinner is one of the best I've ever had. We had a large team event, and dinner after. OTJ printed customized menus for our group. The service was amazing, but the food...that was the real winner. I opted for the sea-bass (which most did), and literally said "I would marry this right now if I could". The texture, the flavor and presentation was out of this world. I've never had something so perfect. Thank you OTJ crew!!!

Had a couple really good experiences here. Recently, ordered the OTJ Royale Burger, Loco Moco and the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The burger and loco moco were on point. Perfectly cooked, quality beef and bun. The loco moco with an egg is a must. Unfortunately, the chicken sandwich was a bust. Way too much bread in proportion to the pint size chicken rendering this sandwich super dry and very carb heavy. In the past, the Blackened Filet Mignon Salad was always a hit for me. Not a huge fan of pepper jack cheese or tortilla strips with filet but somehow, this manages to be a good combination. Overall, very impressed with menu, martinis and the service. Our server was extremely friendly. We will be back.

Today was my first visit to The Junction. I was warmly greeted by Bailey, and was impressed with the cleanliness and ambiance of the restaurant. I ordered the tacos, with macaroni, and cheese as suggested by my wonderful server/bartender Jet. The food was excellent and can't wait to take my husband.

We came here for lunch on a work trip. Main street is very cute. Lots of shops and restaurants. The service was good here. Quick and friendly. We ordered the French dip and burger. They were both delicious! It was a work lunch so I didn't have any cocktails, but they looked good.

Went here on a whim for dinner on a Saturday night. Patrick was excellent as our server, very attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the Garlic Lemon Shrimp Pasta which was excellent with a white wine pairing. Things got dangerouse when the carrot cake came out as my fiance threatened to elope with it. All in all a great experience. Def recommend.

Reservations available, amazing mimosas, music , food brush menu was amazing. Love this place on Sundays.

I really like the atmosphere of Old Town Junction. It's very versatile and could be used for power lunches, a casual outing or a nice dinner. The service was friendly and quick. The waiter let me know his favorites and suggested the Kalbi Tacos. Given this was all I ordered, he suggested a third taco. The first bite was really good, but after I finished the first taco, I understood why this is a starter. Very flavorful, but you only need a bite or two. I'm curious to see the place at night, so I'll definitely return one day for dinner.

Prime location for a hangout! The Old Town Junction is located right on Santa Clarita's small downtown area, so it's a great place to venture after a meal. I came on a weekday, and they had plentiful of parking during lunchtime. You can find parking on the streets or in their private parking lot. We were immediately greeted once we entered the establishment and given a nice booth area to dine at. The interior is very nice, and gives off the olden Western fine dining vibes. My friends and I ordered from their lunch menu. I got the OTJ Royale and the patty was juicy and delicious. The pasta is a great choice to get as the sauce is very creamy.

First time at The Old Town Junction and still scratching my head at why it took me so long to check it out. Service was friendly and attentive. We didn't have a reservation but quickly got seated at the top bar since there were two of us. Tried the Chopped Chicken Salad and a fun mocktail called "I'm Driving". Although a chopped chicken salad sounds boring, it was anything but! Every ingredient was perfectly fresh and delightful. It was a pretty generous serving and although it was very filling, it was a light dish at the same time. The non-alcoholic beverage was refreshing. Sweet and tangy with a pinch of salt on the rim. I got so excited when the food arrived I forgot to take a picture which us Yelpers never forget to do!!! Ambiance was great - festive and lively nestled along cozy Main St lit up during the holiday season. Parking can be a challenge so have a little patience in case you need to circle the block a few times. It's worth it.

What can I say...junction doesn't disappoint! Great atmosphere, good food and friendly bar tenders. Always great for a girls night out or just a friendly meet up.

Delicious my usual. Service great no matter where you sit. The food is delicious. Chicken and waffles are my favorite, best time to come is brunch. Just be prepared to wait.

Food is excellent and the service is as well. Many delicious options. The only downside is it can be too noisy when they are very crowded. They have a lot of fans so it's busy often but you won't forget your visit or what you ate. Try it!

Around town center in New Hall are numerous restaurants, and about 3 blocks from the Laemmle Theater we decided on OLD TOWN JUNCTION restaurant. Our party of 4 were seated promptly, and Robert M. our server was right there. We received water, and ordered our drinks. The I'm Driving drink was good, but was too small for $9.00. It is a nonalcoholic drink. No complaints on the martini other than 1 olive, and the OakFarm red wine was a hit. Everyone enjoyed the Short Ribs, Chicken Gnocchi and Prime Rib French Dip. The portions were ample. I wish the wooden tables had tablecloths or pretty placemats. For that reason OTJ only gets 4 stars.

Food was great and they had good wine collection The place is beautiful and cool design and The Service was excellent , super friendly staff Thank you for great night

Came here with my husband for date night. This place gets packed! When that happens it's usually a very good sign and it was in our experience! The place has a romantic feel. The lighting is perfect and the service is friendly. My husband had the slow roasted prime rib and I had the Chilean Seabass. I'm always iffy about choosing fish in restaurants because they tend to over cooking. Well not here! My fish was perfectly cooked and the flavor was wonderful! My husband prim rib was also juicy and tasty! Our vegetables were also perfectly seasoned and cooked. We had a few drinks each and they were very well made! This review it over due so I can't remember what we ordered, but I do remember that each drink was yummy and we were feeling comfortably happy by the end of our dinner. I love it when drinks are made so well that you get enjoy your drinks flavors without the overwhelming taste of alcohol and feel great at the end of them.

Great food! We decided to try the restaurant after a recommendation from our neighbor. We arrived at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon it was sunny and very pleasant outside. We sat at table outside and we were immediately greeted by the waiter. He noticed there were a couple flies bothering us. So he brought out a citronella candle that took care of the flies. We asked about the local draft beers and he suggested we try a sample. We liked the beer then we ordered a appetizer. The buttermilk fried artichokes with a fig reduction, pistachio crumble and citrus. artichoke dish looked good so we ordered it. It was delicious they cored the artichoke lengthwise so it looked like a chicken leg and it was deep fried. Yum! We ordered the Hawaiian Loco Moco that was delicious over garlic rice, scallions,Siracha and a sunny side egg. We can't wait to go back for a early dinner. We understand if you go around 6-7 the place is packed! Highly recommend the food, the ambiance and the attentive staff.

The perfect brunch spot! We came with a larger group so having a reservation was a good call. With another person, I shared The Loco and the Churro French Toast off of of the Valentine's Day Brunch Menu. Both were decent portions and super delicious- it was the perfect sweet and savory combo. I also got a cocktail- their drink and food menu is huge. Everything was delicious, our server was friendly and attentive. If I was ever in the area again I'd go back!

I've been here twice. Once for dinner and once for brunch. The service and food were outstanding. The drinks were creative and delicious. The brunch menu had some interesting options and were so so good! I don't live in the area but will definitely be stopping in if I'm in the area. I can't wait to try more of the menu items!

I've taken off one star because I thought the ambience could use a good tuneup, but the food here was fantastic. Never thought I'd be dining in Santa Clarita, but a good friend moved out there and I zoomed out to meet him for lunch. This little part of town is charming, they have kept the old cowboy main street look, with railings to hitch yer horse, and old style store fronts. This place is really a glorified bar. It's dark, even during the day, and because it's not that big, half the clientele sit in the front room which is the bar. There is another room which seems friendlier, but it's small and was packed. Some of the waiters are bartenders as well as waiters. What was nice is that anyone will help you. You don't have to wait to get the attention of your personal server. The staff were TERRIFIC, with a slight exception for the young girl at the hostess desk, who seemed shy and not very communicative. Maybe she was new. Otherwise everyone was really super. We started with salads. My friend had a caesar ($14) which was quite different from the usual caesar. It was very creamy, had whipped ricotta, and did not have an anchovy taste. (I have to say it was not my favorite caesar, but my friend liked it). I had the Beet Salad ($18) which was PERHAPS THE BEST SALAD I HAVE EVER EATEN. Beets, crispy prosciutto, goat cheese, dried cherries, pistachios, some greens. Yum yum yum. My friend had the duck breast ($37), and he was very impressed. Served on a bed of DELICIOUS polenta, with a brandy molasses reduction, brussels leaves, and fig jam. Short ribs are one of my favorites and yes, they had it ($36). I know I know, it's a little pricey but so worth it. Served with faro, pea pure', and a demi glaze. The piece of short rib was huge; Joey the dog got half of it when I got home. It was juicy, incredibly falling-apart tender and delicious. We had some kind of chocolatey dessert and it was great too. I just can't say enough for the food here, and am sorry it is so far from me (50 minutes from L.A. on a good day) But whenever I'm out there again, I will be a repeat customer, you can bet the ranch.

Delicious food and great service. Our first time there and it was just fabulous. Beef short ribs fall apart when you just look at them. So tender and full of flavor. My wife had the salmon and loved it. My biggest regret is that we haven't come here before!! Ambience is busy and loud but enjoyable. Not a place for an intimate dinner. Love watching the kitchen do its thing through the glass. Can't wait to come back and try more items.

This place is amazing. The menu is unmatched in SCV. They did a great job making Mother's Day special--even though we didn't have a reservation, the hostess was happy to make an accommodation and find us a table. The space is designed great!

The food and drinks were on par. Definitely a bit pricey, but I didn't feel like it wasn't warranted. The menus lived up to its enticement. This restaurant served five star food and a relaxing lounge bar atmosphere. The server's and bartenders were attentive and helpful. I would definitely spend more dinner meals here.

This restaurant has creative cocktails and menu! The food is prepared and presented well...There is something for everyone. A favorite place of mine to dine!

Great service the food is to die for friendly service the drinks are so delicious and potent

It's been a minute since I reviewed OTJ. We went there right after they opened and were impressed with the service and food quality, and have been there many times since. Last night, my wife and I went there for our wedding anniversary. This is a popular and busy restaurant, so reservations are pretty much necessary. We have been able to do walk-in seating, but usually will require a long wait or outside seating (great in the summer, but not so much now). They don't have an online reservation booking, you have to call, but after you're in their system all communications are through texts. They have an excellent bar as well as table seating. Due to how many people are in there, as well as their build-out of lots of hard surfaces (concrete floors, brick walls, glass, etc) it's a noisy environment. We like it, because it gives it an "active" vibe, but if you're looking for a quiet, subdued experience, go somewhere else for that dinner. As mentioned, they have a good bar, and I always have their Old Fashioned, served with the required cherry but also a piece of bacon, and my wife will have a martini or a glass of wine from their pretty extensive list. Never disappointed. They also have a good selection of "mocktails" for those who abstain from alcohol. We split the chopped Caesar salad, which has a very good house-made dressing. The croutons are made in house and they serve it with a smear of ricotta cheese in the bottom of the bowl, which is tasty. I usually have their prime rib, which they serve until sold out. I'm in my 60's, and have eaten in many restaurants and have had many prime ribs over the years, and theirs is one of the best. It is a generous cut of meat, has always been served exactly as ordered and has a flavorful crust. The potatoes it comes with are crispy and good. We had the chocolate box for dessert, which is a light chocolate cake with mousse layers held together with dark chocolate sides. Good stuff. Good restaurant, excellent staff, food quality is top notch and never disappoints. Highly recommend Old Town Junction.

The restaurant was busy so we sat at the bar. The drinks were good and the live music was great. I am giving three stars because I think the Smoked Chicken Gnocchi was priced too high, and the dish was a bit too salty.

The food was unimpressive for the price. It was plated in a thoughtless manner, and the taste was very ordinary. It was nothing special, just okay. There was plenty of free street parking on a Friday afternoon. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was calm and aesthetically pleasing.

Food is always super yummy! Presentation is always on point. Service is quick, friendly, & great. Super hang out chill feel location. I love the comfy seats & the tables by the windows. Keep up the good work staff!

My second time here and never disappointed. You'll be greeted nicely no matter how busy they're. Their services are always very sweet, attentive, and friendly. The ambiance is very pleasant, like you're in DTLA. The food tastes great together with their drinks variety. Highly recommended!

My favorite restaurant in SCV, we love the place .. but a little suggestion. We had the beef stroganoff yesterday. The pasta was excellent, but the meat was hard in texture and had a weird taste. First bad meal we have ever had there. The drinks and service were excellent.

This was my first time here and I was very surprised with the variety of whisky's and bourbons they had. This place is very busy so I would definitely make reservations. Food and service was top notch! The duck fat friend chicken was delicious and the portion was huge! It also came with a side of Mac and cheese but the biscuits were the best biscuits I've had! Cajun shrimp pasta was delicious! Not too much Cajun and hints of lemon but great flavor!

I went here for lunch today with my friend and ordered the club sandwich. The patio has a nice ambience on a pretty day. Their entire staff (the host, the food runners, the servers) were all top notch and friendly :) I should have gotten names, my apologies
