    Hot chocolate
    Kelsey J.

    1909 in Old Town Temecula is lively but still relaxed, making it a great place to catch up with friends, family, or enjoy a weekend date. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were absolutely loaded. The portions were huge, and I loved the combination of tender shredded pork, crispy chips that still held their texture, fresh avocado, queso fresco, and perfectly cooked eggs on top. Every bite was packed with flavor. My mom ordered the eggs Benedict, which came with crispy breakfast potatoes. Everything looked fresh, and the potatoes were perfectly golden and seasoned. We also had hot chocolate with our meal, and it paired perfectly with brunch since it was chilly outside. The service was friendly, our food came out fairly quick for being busy but it usually takes awhile here. We've been here a few times. Not our go-to spot or our favorite but if you're looking for a delicious brunch spot in Old Town Temecula with generous portions and a fun atmosphere, 1909 is definitely worth a visit.

    It's located in the middle of Old Town and it's always poppin! Luckily the time's I've been, the wait hasn't been too long. There plenty of indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. The servers are always sweet and quick. They have a variety on their menu. Their 1909 burger was so delicious. I'm usually not a burger girl but it was stacked with fresh ingredients. I got the seasoned fries which were good. Their birria hash was packed with flavor. I enjoy their hazy beers and I had to try their mimosa slush which was a bit strong in my opinion. The alcohol really punched me in the face. 1909 is a great spot that I enjoy going to whenever I'm in the area.

    Crab and shrimp empanada were delicious. The fried deviled eggs were tasty and different. We each ordered an appetizer with water before heading down the street to happy hour. The mango habanero shrimp ceviche was so delicious. Right amount of mango sauce and habanero that nothing is over powering the taste of the other. Very tasty. In this 93 degree heat the mist system was on and we were very comfortable. With the appetizers you only received three deviled eggs the empanadas was a total of three but this ceviche was a pretty good portion.

    These sticky ribs were so good!

    I absolutely LOVE this spot! I go here every time I am anywhere near Temecula and will continue to go back! There is street parking, or you can park in a large lot behind the restaurant. The ambiance is hip and open, with very clean bathrooms. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with a very large covered patio out front. It's located in old town Temecula and is such a hidden gem! I ordered many delicious drinks, but loved allll of the frozen cocktails (as it was incredibly hot!) Service was great, and always is. The server gave us some great food and drink recs and we started with a charcuterie board that was a 10/10 and made our way through the rest of the menu, as we wanted to try a lot of different things.

    Very busy place, wait time was 40 min. The hostess and servers were very friendly. Super cute ambience! They have outdoor and indoor seating. We sat outside and the heaters worked amazing, since it was a chilly evening. The food was a solid 3. The raw oysters are much better than the grilled ones. I had their clam chowder which was... ok. The rib eye was a solid 3. Too much flavor fusion going on. The chicken Sammie and the birria tacos I highly recommend. I loved the location. There's a lot of different places to try on this little strip in Temecula.

    During our visit to Temecula, we wanted to try a new place to eat. So we stopped at 1909 to eat lunch. We ordered steak, potatoes, shrimp/chorizo, burger, and Cuban sandwich along with drinks. All were really good. Bloody Mary came with friend chicken wing and bacon along with olives, tasted good. Burger was really good as it reminded us of another place. The shrimp and chorizo was very good. The steak was juicy and the sauce really good. The cubano sandwich was just ok. Lemonade was good but not spectacular. We will definitely come back, but try a few things different and a couple of the items we had today.

    Came by on a Monday for lunch! Interior design/decor is modern yet not lost. Cool restaurant bar to chill or hang out! Got their 1909 burger but don't sleep on their smash burger because they look just as great if not better! Patty has that nice char, meaty taste to follow after! That's how it should be done! Customer service was spot on too! Not too much but attentive enough or easy to flag down for anything you need. The restaurant has everything well oiled, their food runners know what to serve where/who.

    Gorgeous weather, a tad breezy... but the patio tables had their heaters on! Yay!! At first we couldn't decide whether we wanted to sit inside which was open air or patio and slightly covered. The hostess at the stand looked a tad annoyed....I guess it was a little extra work for them. Eh. The night we came, the restaurant was playing some good jams..our waiter had excellent table service! He sold us on the appetizers. I read some reviews on options and chose the pesto pasta dish... I give it 6/10. If you don't like anything spicy, watch out for this dish. There's red pepper flakes in it. I didn't read it was slightly spicy, otherwise would have done without it. The chicken was the best thing from that dish. My husband enjoyed his bread-less burger! Ginger ale taste good with anything! We even got the special water from the springs.. Bathrooms are super tight! Why do they make bathroom doors to open inward?'!! I guess since it's a right squeeze don't want it to hit someone coming out. Btw this is a favorite spot for the locals! It got super busy after 6pm!

    Classic Bloody Mary
    Emma B.

    Came here with a friend for brunch, the servers were friendly and attentive and we were seated right away. They were happy to accommodate us with an outside table and highchair for my son. Our server was training a couple of people so we had a few different people checking in on us (btw both trainees did amazing, they were so friendly and already great with recommendations on menu items.) I inquired about an iced coffee and they didn't have anything besides regular hot coffee, which seems a little odd when you're open for "brunch" everyday. I'd love to see them expand with even a couple basic iced options since it's typically pretty hot in Temecula and there's a lot of outside seating. Their cocktail menu is extensive and the Bloody Mary I ordered was absolutely delicious! The bacon garnish seemed a little stale but I figured that was because it had probably been prepped ahead of time for the bar, but the other nibbles were yummy. My friend ordered the Fried Chicken Benedict and I ordered the Caprese Benedict. Both had huge portions and looked absolutely beautiful, my friend said hers was absolutely delicious. The Caprese Benedict did not come with any bread/English muffin, which I knew ahead of time, and while it was delicious I needed something to soak up some of the hollandaise/egg yoke! Great as a lower carb option if you subbed out the potatoes, but there was definitely a lot of sauce left on the plate with nothing to eat it with. I ordered a kids egg and bacon meal which also came with potatoes. The bacon was in kind of the same state as the piece that came with my Bloody Mary, so that was a little disappointing because bacon should always be yummy, but my kiddo loved the eggs and potatoes. They had quite a few different options for kids and they are reasonably priced (mostly $10 or under) which is appreciated. We will absolutely be back again to try for lunch! The patio seating is perfect for people watching (and cars, fire trucks, and big trucks which my kiddo just loved.) They also have ceiling fans inside and out which is helpful for these warmer months!

    Such a cute spot in Temecula. We sat outside and the service was attentive and kind. I got their espresso martini and asked for the sugar to be taken out. It was still a touch sweet for my taste but overall really good. Then I tried the eggs benedict with longanisa. I wish the sausage was a bit more hearty but it was minced very fine. It was a touch spicy, but overall the flavor was really good. I also tried the fried chicken benedict which was delicious. The eggs were also cooked to perfection. Overall, such a fun spot. Would come back!

    Cranberry white cheddar salad
    Will S.

    Food was solid, but nothing all that special. Plus it was pretty expensive. Patio seating and vibes and ambiance swung this to a 4/5. Would definitely come back to try more of the drinks and menu. The 1909 bloody mary was 10/10. One of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. Seriously was amazing - spicy, flavorful, everything you want Eggs your way - standard 2 poached eggs, toast bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were super undercooked but the poached egg was perfect. Bacon was also a lil undercooked. Cranberry white cheddar salad was banging I must say. I added shrimp and it was suuuuper good.

    Forgot to add my pictures from my last review! As you can see, great portions, very often we are unable to finish everything. Unfortunately didn't get a picture of just the drinks, but this place is great whether it's for food or just for a drink night out.

    Birria Hash
    Aubree F.

    We originally had been in a waitlist for another restaurant but had in interesting experience so we walked over to 1909 and were able to get seated right away. Our waiter was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first time and he literally took the time and gave us recommendations for every part of the menu which was so sweet. I ended up getting the Birria Hash and it did not disappoint. Perfect amount of food for me and I also got the spicy cucumber drink and it was delicious! Most definitely will return. It's a great spot and even though it was hot outside they had misters so that was a nice touch. Thank you!

    1909 Temecula, founded in September 2014, is a tribute to the Machado building, the location where the restaurant and bar now lives. The name, 1909, comes from the year the building was re-built after burning down in 1908.…

We initially ordered to dine in but ended up needing to take it to go. Service was amazing from start to finish. As soon as we arrived and even when we had to change to go. Our waitress understood and helped us packed everything up. I did get to try to latte flights there. To be honest, taste was just ok but presentation makes it look really good. I read another review about the ube waffle and I have to agree with them. I was expecting more ube flavor. It was decorated pretty with the flowers but the flavor just wasn't there. Out of everything I ordered the blue velvet pancakes were my favorite. They were soft and fluffy. The cinnamon roll pancake was for my husband. I did like that they like you order pancakes à la carte so you don't have to do full orders of everything and get to try everything. Crème brûlée French toast was ok too. To be fair I'm not sure if it's because we had to take it to go. With that said when taking to go, the pancakes were still good. Waffle not so much but to me it also lacked that one flavor. My husband ordered a margarita and our waitress recommended peach and she was right. Peach margarita tasted yummy as I took a sip to try it. We came around 2pm and there was plenty of seating inside available. We were able to find parking in the shopping center easily.

What attracted me was the Texas Style BBQ and I've read plenty of positive reviews saying the BBQ is legit. Last Saturday on July 4th we made our way to Temecula to dine at the Swing Inn Cafe & BBQ. The town was packed due to a 250th birthday celebration parade. The parade blocked us from getting to the restaurant. We had to wait until it was over which was like 20 minutes. At the hostess station we were advised it would be a 45 minutes wait for a party of 5. The place was busy with customers but the employees did an excellent job in providing great service. 20 minutes later we were seated outside. There were six parties ahead of us but they didn't show when called. Guess they got tired of waiting. I ordered a full rack of the pork spare ribs with smoked beans as my one side. But when I got my food I had an extra side of smoked beans. The ribs were tender, thick and the meat came of the bone easily. It had a nice smokey taste and the smoked beans complimented the meat. I have to admit one of the best spare pork ribs I had in my life. My mom got the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes and gravy. The chicken fried steak was seasoned well and very tender. My step dad ordered Large Brisket plate with coleslaw. And my brother and sister in law both got the 2 meat plate with smoked turkey and brisket with sides of macaroni and cheese and smoked beans. The beef brisket and smoke turkey was very good according to my family. For dessert I got the cinnamon roll a popular item, step dad and mom shared a slice of apple pie and my brother got the coconut cream pie. Everything was very sweet and delicious. We were hoping to catch Dean but I figured he was probably spending time with family on this holiday. We will return and hopefully he will be there so we can let him know how much we loved his food and acting.
