On Thursday, my husband and I had the pleasure of getting together with some friends at JT Schmid’s Restaurant & Brewery in Tustin, California. Every month we look forward to spending time with like-minded social media influencers from the GigaSavvy Social Media Club. Together we discover new food and drinks at various outstanding restaurants in Orange County, one of which was JT Schmid’s.
Upon entering, you walk into an elaborately designed establishment that makes you feel right at home. It is similar to walking into a London tavern with those dark stained mahogany walls, but with an artistic flare, and on every corner is a big screen tv with your favorite sports team playing.
One new thing on the menu that was incredibly delicious were the “Not Your Mom’s Deviled Eggs”. The deviled eggs are a must try if you happen to order an appetizer. And if you don’t like eggs… you sure will after trying these! Let me give you a visual! Imagine a deviled egg battered and fried replete with just the right amount of mustard and paprika spices.
The Spicy Chicken Wings were definitely a crowd pleaser and are a staple appetizer when watching a game at happy hour. One pound of wings is tossed in JT Schmid’s own wing sauce & served with bleu cheese and vegetable sticks.
After the appetizers, we tasted the main entrees. The fresh Chilean Sea Bass was prepared over a bed of rice topped with spinach sautéed in a sweet ginger soy sauce. It was a sizable portion of fish and prepared to perfection.
After the surf, we hit the turf with a 16 oz. Prime Ribeye served with seasoned veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. You can’t go wrong with this one!
Mr. SoCal Field Trips and I had a fantastic time at JT Schmid’s and hope to return soon for another great date night with friends. JT Schmid’s has two locations in Orange County with happy hour every Monday – Friday, 3:00 – 6:30 pm.
JT Schmid’s Anaheim – 2610 E Katella Ave. in Anaheim

Happy Dining!
