What a great find out of the crowds. We live not to far away and have driven by so many times not knowing there was the resturaunt here. So tonight we decided to go. There were 5 of us and we all tried something different. I had the pulled pork sandwich with the side of their cowboy beans. Delicious and I really enjoyed the beans! My husband had the trip tip sandwich with a side of the mac and cheese. One son had the beef brisket sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The other had the weekend special with ribs, mac and cheese and street corn. Finally my son's girlfriend had the loaded fries and the side of Brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious. All the meats were tender and not fatty! The flavors were also delicious. While there a live band started playing and we enjoyed the music while we had our meal. It was a fun time and we will definitely be back.

Cool place. 2pm on a Sunday and we had live music. Watch the prices. My Brisket plate was 32... Yikes!! That was enough to talk me out of a beer. Lots of seating inside and out. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

My family and I went for Father's Day. I ordered the prime rib, which was seasoned well, but I didn't realize until later they forgot to bring the aju sauce. My son ordered the 50/50, which was good, and my daughter had the bbq brisket sandwich. The person right next to me said their son had a burger, and it was the best burger of his life, and the short Rib was the best rib he's ever had. I came for the trip tip, but they were completely out. I'll have to come back. Service was good. All the waitresses were nice. It was Father's Day, so naturally, it was busy. They had live music too which was really nice. All in all a great experience and we look forward to coming back

Santa Clarita's River's End Pub is such a gem. The brisket is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the open mic nights on Thursdays and karaoke every other Saturday are always so much fun. The staff are so warm and welcoming—you walk in, and it just feels like home. The live music on weekends and comedy nights make it even more special, and the whole place has this great, family-friendly vibe. And the setting? Just perfect. There’s a little creek running right next to the restaurant, and with the magical string lights over the outdoor seating, it always feels like something out of a dream. If you're looking for great food, great people, and a great atmosphere, this is the place to be!

What a great little place out in the country! Service is always great, and the BBQ is off the hook! Got to try their brisket and hands down the best I have had in the scv and the surrounding area. Make a reservation on weekends as the bands bring in quite the crowd

Holy smokes !! What a great night at River Ends BBQ & Pub... from the live music to the fantastic smoked meats and the amazing company! Couldn’t have asked for more! The food was outstanding and left us wanting to come back to try the whole menu! We had the smoked brisket, pulled pork, smoked wings, loaded pulled pork fries and delicious deserts! The musician John Schmitt played old school rock and perfectly set the ambiance!
