    Happy hour.
    Jim V.

    This has to be the most rancid happy hour spot In Menifee, I know that's not saying much because there's only a half dozen or so places in the entire city that has a bar with happy hour. The home office sure does try hard enough with a big list of cocktails on special a handful of aps and draft beers with side kicks, shots on the side. The drinks are ultra sugary and weak with just less then an ounce of liquor. Today there was total confusion over the draft beer taps as they weren't as labeled. Someone apparently moved them around. The two bartenders that couldn't sell a drink to save a life. I waited almost five minutes and the only other guy at the bar had a half a beer. I ordered a bud light draft and patron sidekick only to be served a short pour of some other beer, probably ultra and that's it. The bartender disappeared while the other served the dining room servers. When my bartender returned I had an empty glass that was ignored until I asked for my check. The bartender put down my check then realized how bad service was and pulled it back say no check sir, with an oh shit grimmis on her face. I tipped but didn't pay and in that 20 minutes I was there I never saw one drink sold. I tipped 2 bucks and left. Applebee's needs to hire bartenders that are kind, and capable at the same time but they really never have in the 4 years I have been stopping by. Skip this on at all cost.... Even at no cost. I won't be back.

    Dried burnt ribs

    Honestly ordered on DoorDash today and the ribs we got were so disrespectful. Dry to the bone burnt and literally no meat coming off the bone. Worst ribs I've had in my life. And I've had my share of bad ribs. honestly I felt robbed. Paid $33 for half a rack of ribs and all I got was cartilage. Went straight to the trash. I honestly believe I was given an order that was laying around all day because the Applebees is 15 minutes from my house and I ordered and the order was here 18 minutes later. Like it wasn't freshly prepped. Like I said sitting there and was just sent to me so it didn't go to waste.

    Bathroom of another restaurant that had a great idea.

    I have ate here many many time for lunch and dinner. Great service and food. I like the Strawberry chicken Salad. I wanted to show the management what I saw in another restaurant. Its a floor great in the mens room just in front of the urial. I think its a great idea..

    11/22/2024.  Chicken wonton tacos ($10.99):  these are delicious. Wontons and the sauce make this a must get, 5/5 stars!

    A family member wanted to dine here again, since she had a great experience recently. We were lucky that the wait to be seated was only about fifteen minutes for our party of ten, despite that it was within the peak time for dinner on a Friday. 11/22/2024. Chicken wonton tacos ($10.99): these are delicious. The seasoned chicken, crispy wontons, and the savory sauce make this a must get, 5/5 stars! $10 meal deal with $1.99 upgrade for side dish. Fried chicken sandwich: the batter was fried to a crisp, and the chicken was slightly juicy. But, a zesty sauce in the sandwich would do wonders. As it stands, 3.5/5 stars overall. Mac & cheese: the pasta was tender and had a chew, while the cheese was gooey and this dish was seasoned, 4/5 stars. Our server was attentive and easy to talk to, but I credit the entire staff for a pleasurable dinner.

There was a ton of seating in the restaurant and she was sitting us right next to everyone. We requested to not be sitting right next to someone and practically be part of their conversation when theres a ton of open seats. Then when we got sat away from everyone, she sat a party right next to us. Again when open seating elsewhere. Just didn't make sense to me. Our server was great though! We ordered the pb and j wings to start which were phenomenal! Then my partner ordered the berry cobbler french toast. I ordered the cavatelli pasta. It was to die for. The sauce, the sausage, the tomatoes how the flavors blended. Everything just melted in your mouth. Highly recommend this place for brunch or for dinner. The menu is so good. Everything you order you can't go wrong. Will definitely be back!

It's in a shopping center with a big red sign on the outside, once inside the ambiance was very chill and the bar was inviting. We did decide to sit at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender. He gave us drink and food menus and I went with the cucumber fizzle which was right up my alley. My husband had one of there creative Old fashions and he really enjoyed his drink as well. We started with the Caviar Bites and Calamari, probably the best calamari I have had in quite a while. We also ordered the cavatelli mac and cheese which was very flavorful with the shishito pepper and parm and lastly we also had the Korean wings which were very meaty and full of flavor. I think that is something that stands out here is how much great flavors are packed in there dishes. The entire staff was friendly and the Chef was also very welcoming. Great food and drinks not to be missed here.

    The best thing here is the staff, each one of them top-notch fantastic!…read moreIt seems that the buyer has their own specific taste for beer - there's frequently maybe eight specialty beers and half of them are flavored like an ice cream shop or a candy store, not to my liking..... The bartenders are awesome and really know how to work the crowd and nice people. I've also met some cool customers as well so I dig the place. There's a good band on Friday nights that does cover rock 'n' roll and they're quite good. I wish they serve their food from the restaurant they own next-door because there's more vegetarian options it is a cool place but I just wish they had more diversity in the beer they serve and maybe once in a while lower price points which I guess happens during happy hour. But, like I said, at the beginning, the staff is awesome and enjoyable to talk to. So, that makes frequent visits welcoming.

Today was the World Cup coverage (yawn) in this case they tied but they held a tiebreaker and Paraguay beat Germany. I think I would prefer "PICKLE BALL" coverage. I was there with three friends from my neighborhood for "HAPPY HOUR" which is a really good value. And, even a better value because we had gift cards to cover the visit! Wild Herd Kölsch: This exclusive beer, brewed by Goose Island, $4.00 served in a huge glass! Standard Happy Hour: Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Select domestic pints, craft drafts, and well drinks are typically discounted. Late-Night Menu: Available every day starting at 9:00 PM until closing. Select B-Dubs snacks and beverages are priced at $4 each. Today as one of the appetizers we shared some really excellent onion rings that were not greasy nor overcooked. In fact, cooked to perfection and delicious. They are thick-cut, beer-battered onion rings with a side of B-Dubs signature dipping sauce (also known as Southwestern Ranch). This creamy sauce features a Southwestern or chipotle-style kick that complements the sweet, crisp beer batter. My friends also enjoyed this appetizer: "Buffalo Chicken Dip" made with shredded chicken, original buffalo cheese sauce, cheddar-jack cheese, bacon crumbles, ranch dressing, pickled hot peppers, and green onions. It is served hot with house-made tortilla chips and celery sticks. This is a really terrific spot over off of Haun Road and Newport near the 215 in Menifee. We sat at a table near the bar and the front door, so the charming efficient bartender had to jump on the other side and take our order cause that's her section in addition to serving the folks at the barstools. All in a terrific experience throughout and one could say we scored! Goooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll!

    Yesterday, my husband picked up an order of wings for us from the Menifee location. After eating…read moreone wing, I found a long, dark blue hair in my food. It was absolutely disgusting, and I immediately threw away the rest of my meal because I no longer felt comfortable eating any of it. I tried calling the store more than 10 times before someone finally answered. After explaining what happened, I was transferred to the kitchen manager. His response was, "Fosho, I'll put your name on a list and you'll get 10 wings on the house." How is that "on the house" when I had already paid for a meal that I had to throw away because of a food safety issue? There wasn't even a sincere apology or any acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. This isn't an isolated issue. My family usually drives to the Murrieta location because we've consistently had poor experiences at the Menifee location. Orders are often incorrect, wait times are much longer than expected, and the restaurant always seems understaffed. I also contacted corporate to report the food safety issue. They assured me they take these complaints very seriously, but they offered no resolution. I asked for a refund or even a gift card so I could visit a different location, and I was told they couldn't do either and that the franchise owner would contact me. It's hard to believe these issues are taken seriously when customers are left without a meaningful solution. Based on my experience, this location has ongoing issues with food safety, customer service, and management. The work culture needs serious improvement through better employee training, stronger leadership, and higher standards for sanitation and customer care. The way this restaurant is being run is unacceptable, and until management takes real accountability instead of offering generic responses, I don't expect these issues to improve. Customers deserve safe food, respectful service, and management that stands behind its business when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, this experience and the way it was handled by both the store and corporate fell far below that standard. UPDATE: I received a voicemail from Reese after 6 p.m. Thursday four business days after reporting a hair in my food. Corporate told me the franchise owner would contact me, but after waiting that long, I had already handled the situation myself and disputed the transaction. I never even spoke with Reese. The lack of urgency over a serious food-safety complaint says enough. After seeing the ongoing negative reviews about this Menifee location, it's clear my experience isn't isolated. Customers deserve safe food, accountability, and timely customer service not generic apologies and four-day delays. I will not be returning to this location. Management needs to do better.

There was no wait for a booth, and the restaurant had a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with TVs throughout the dining room. The complimentary bread was warm, fluffy, and fresh. The cinnamon butter was tasty, though definitely on the sweeter side. The peanuts were exactly what you'd expect from Texas Roadhouse. For drinks, we tried the blue lemonade and strawberry lemonade. The blue lemonade tasted pretty similar to regular lemonade, but the free refills were a nice bonus. The strawberry lemonade was the standout and definitely worth ordering. We also tried the Dragonfruit Sparkler, which was fruity, refreshing, and one of the better specialty drinks on the menu. For entrees, the Herb Crusted Chicken Dinner was the clear winner. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and the corn on the side was surprisingly delicious. The Country Fried Chicken Dinner was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I've had better versions elsewhere, and even with the gravy it felt a little lacking in flavor. The fries were pretty standard. Another plus was the large parking lot and the reasonable prices. The portions were generous, and overall the meal felt like a good value for the money. A special shoutout to Candace for providing friendly and attentive service throughout our visit. Overall, Texas Roadhouse delivered a solid dining experience with good food, affordable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for the herb crusted chicken and strawberry lemonade.

He decided to give me the gift card this evening to enjoy a nice meal as our kiddos were at their grandparents and he was working. I ordered a $30+ meal the 6oz sirloin + shrimp and two sides. I got it to go so I could enjoy it at home. While I was waiting (I had arrived very close to the pickup time), I noticed an employee standing next to the driver's side of a car talking to the driver, who appeared to be an acquaintance. I could clearly overhear the conversation, and the employee was saying things that I found completely inappropriate to be discussing while standing right in front of the restaurant, even if it was technically in the parking lot. Two minutes before my pickup time, I went to the to-go window and received my food. When I got home, I realized my rolls didn't include the house butter. Whatever! It's not the end of the world. But worth noting as you would think this would be standard to provide. What became really problematic was the meal itself. I ordered my steak well done, but it arrived bleeding and wasn't even close to medium well. Why ask how I want my steak cooked if you aren't going to cook it that way? The shrimp was cold and incredibly salty. The potato? How do you get a potato wrong? Well, somehow they managed...it was stale and overly salty too. The broccoli I don't even think was steamed for more than a minute before you gave it "seasoning". The entire meal was awful and for $30?! Hahahaha I guess really the joke was on me for paying such an absurd amount but I really was expecting some quality somewhere. It just wasn't there all at. We still have money left on our gift card, but we'll be giving it away because we won't be coming back. I didn't even bother calling to complain because, judging by the quality of the food, I don't think a complaint would make any difference. I added a photo of my "well done steak".
