The Old Town Junction Newhall Reviews
The menu is unique vs your run of the mill restaurants but very delicious. It's great for a date night, family dinner, or birthday celebration. Right in downtown Newhall which is lit up at night and creates a nice ambiance.
This message is for Chef Otto if you're not Chef Otto keep scrolling. This place is a 10/10 absolutely love it and always willing to do the almost 2 hour drive to come here. It's so good I recommend it to everyone and have even drivin family hours to try this food. With that being said bring back the Fried Chicken Mac!!! One of the best items on the menu and it's gone!!! Im currently sitting in your restaurant and the meal was great but just missing that Mac. We even overheard other tables talking about it asking where it went. Do it for the love of the game chef! Give the people what they want lol.
My spouse and I went tonight for our anniversary. This restaurant was recommended to us by a co-worker, and let me tell you — this was the most delicious meal I’ve ever had. From the starters to the entrées to the dessert, everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was top-notch as well. Great, friendly staff, a cool atmosphere, and excellent food. Highly recommend!
Been coming here since they first opened, including the pandemic roller coaster. Through it all, they have a wonderful seasonal menu while also maintaining their staples. They also have a variety of house cocktails that are delicious. My recent favorite is their offering of mocktails. If there isn’t a mocktail that’s striking your fancy, you can always ask the staff about potentially modifying an existing cocktail to be NA. The staff have been wonderful and accommodating of various dietary and preparation concerns.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
Prime rib quality was tough and gristly for $56. Not tender except cap portion (as it is usually). Short rib under seasoned and more like sauced pot roast. Broccolini woody and tough, Small dice roasted potatoes were dry and sparingly portioned. Side salads insultingly served in child-like little round metal bowl impossible to eat from without tipping so neccessary to dump onto under plate. Cute but impractical. Steak knives were dull and too small ergonomically. 3 pieces of tasty housemade focaccia bread and compound butter for $13 is obsurd. I get inflation, but their Wedge Salad which is exceptional went from $15 to 21 in 2 years. Asparagus and mashed potato were perfect. Staff very friendly but inefficient. After finishing, plates sat for way too long until finally removed after we moved them to edge of table. Overall good like any decent eatery should and used to be, but with Manhatten prices in the SCV.
I have come to expect that the prices in all restaurants have gone up. But this place is exceptionally pricey. But as long as I walk away feeling like I got good quality for the price, I’m good. I ordered the French dip, and it was pretty awful. The meat was so overcooked and flavorless, more like shoe leather. I asked to have mushrooms added, and got the bill and they charged me $10 to add mushrooms that were barely discernible on the sandwich. I also asked for cheese and could not taste it as they put so little on. For two sandwiches and two glasses of wine, $91 before tip. Absolutely ridiculous and so not worth it.
