The beer is FOUL! by medusa97 on 1/8/2009 via Citysearch
I usually don't expect much from these chain style microbrewpubs (i.e. B.J.'s Rock Bottom, J.T. Schmid's...) but Steelhead's beers failed to live up to my lowered expectations. I haven't had their food so I can't comment on it. I…

Masocists will enjoy Steelhead by Guest G. on 11/8/2008 via Judy's Book
I have been to Steelhead four times and twice the service has been absolutely hostile. Compared to BJ's the beer is weak, the food is average and the service awful.

Good times by Jeff H on 9/23/2008 via Insider Pages
Steelhead is always our pub of choice when we are near UCI. Great microbrews and excellent food. I especially like having large groups there and ordering from their catering menu on the patio. you will have a good time there.

Good Beer and Food by Andrew L on 9/17/2008 via Insider Pages
If you're from the Bay Area or Northwest, you maybe familiar with Steelhead. It's a nice change from the usual OC chain restaurants. If you want great fish n' chips, you've come to to the right place. They brew their own beer and it's…

Great Salads by Jaymee J on 5/28/2008 via Insider Pages
I went with co-workers to this restaurant for lunch and the menu was very extensive. They ahd a good mix of offerings, from salads to sandwiches to larger main course meals. I had a BBQ Chicken salad and it was very good and large and I…

Not open late! by Thalia7 on 5/6/2008 via Citysearch
For a brewpub near UCI's college campus, you'd think they'd stay open to feed and "water" the locals past 9pm. After multiple 9:30pm disappointments finding they were closed, I've come to realize differently! That being said, when they…

Good beer close to campus by C K on 5/1/2008 via Insider Pages
Good beer, a cheap happy hour and in walking distance to campus...perfect for UCI grad students. I spent many an afternoon in the last few years there drinking $2.50 pints. It's an older crowd, grad students and faculty, and its not open…

good burgers by yummy87 on 3/18/2008 via Citysearch
it's like another BJs. I stopped here with a few friends by accident and was quite happy. The burgers were good, drinks were good, and so was the service. Good place to go with a few pals and have some food and a few drinks.

BJ's-esque by abd1350 on 3/12/2008 via Citysearch
Steelhead, to me, is like a toned down BJ's - fun, relaxed atmosphere with Chicago-style pub food. I went there recently and got a salad, but I've had their ahi burger there and liked it a lot. I just noticed they have a wide selection…

GREAT SERVICE, super friendly staff, and food is really terrific by ripken0000 on 11/1/2006 via Citysearch
Specials galore usually during the week and their burgers are some of the best I have ever tasted. Big restaurant lots of things going on and close to the UCI campus are all plusses.

Not what I expected. by sdanijas on 10/26/2006 via Citysearch
I've been to Steelhead before and enjoyed it. Good burgers - good brews; however, lunch proved otherwise - the smoked salmon appetizer wasn't salmon at all (possibly halibut or albacore) and the waitress insisted it was salmon. Dealbreaker…

Good atmosphere by Jennifer M. on 3/19/2006 via Judy's Book
This place has some good items and some not so good items on their menu. The best thing they serve is their calamari. It is soooooooo good, and they give you a huge platter for only 9.99. It comes with several dipping sauces and huge…

Great beer, tasty food by Vivek H. on 9/27/2005 via Judy's Book
Their microbrews are usually pretty good. If you can't make up your mind, go for the sampler, which has six shots of their brews. The food is good too -- a little expensive -- but they have huge portions. Approx $20/person for food and…

Skip dinner, go there for the beer by MC T. on 4/27/2005 via Judy's Book
Here we have one of the only bars in Irvine -- and conveniently located within walking distance of the perpetually hard-working student population of UCI. If you go there on your birthday they give you a free slice of tasty cake; but that…
