Delicious sour dough pretzel! Huge mustard was not good for my taste. Cheese was yummy
L M.

I love this place. This is where the locals come to get away from touristy people and prices. Always a fun vibe here on the weekends. Family and pet friendly too. My only issue is that they cleaned up my table when I was just away from my seat taking video I still had beer and was planning on taking my piece of pretzel home.

The highlight of the night, beer with Bavarian pretzel.

Great local vibe here. Came down when there was a band playing, which was awesome. Bavarian pretzel was soft in the inside and the house made mustard was delicious. My only complaint was the swirly fries - love the idea but the batch I got was super chewy. It was my first time having them so not sure if this how they're supposed to be but it tasted like they sat too long on a warmer. Will definitely be back to try this place again.

Had a party of 30 people for a birthday party and they had live music on the Saturday we went. Staff was accommodating, thanks and shoutout to Gavin for making sure we were taken care of and for making the night run smoothly! Love the vibe and ambiance. Nobody had any complaints. Will def be back.

Tucked away at the back of vail ranch headquarters but don't miss it! Great beer, I also loved their berry seltzer, so delicious. The smashburger was a show stopper so flavorful and just all around amazing. Their back patio has lots of room for large parties and a bandstand area. My pups also enjoyed the back area and the biscuits. Service was welcoming and attentive.

Me and their pear cider

Recently went to visit a friend in Temecula and we happened upon this super cool place. Great vibes, Gavin (our bartender) was funny and matched the brewery's chill energy. The brews (beers and ciders) were amazing and the breakfast burger was just what this girl needed. Will definitely be adding this place on a must visit when we come up here again!

A blond and down goes nelson IPA.

First time trying this spot and I really enjoyed it. The beers and the food were really good. I tried the pretzel and the smash burgers and they were delicious. I also tried two beers. The blond and down goes nelson IPA. Both were good and my favorite was the IPA.

Came here for the first time somewhat spontaneously. Super chill vibe and ambiance. Perfect place for our doggos. It was somewhat of a nightmare to find but we found it !! They have a variety of beers but not all of them are theirs. I got the citrus wheat and it was pretty good. I tried a sample of their sangria and it just tasted like syrup. Not my thing. Their Gatorade seltzer tastes like light blue Gatorade. I was so shook ! Food was pretty good. The breakfast burrito was super good and the green salsa that came with it was to die for. The smash burger was sub par for me. It was greasy and the bottom bun was soggy and doughy. I would probably not order it again. We loved the spiral fries. Super interesting concept! Overall pretty good. I'd stop by if I was ever in the area again !

Service is absolutely wonderful!!! My husband had to step away to give me the car keys and Nick the bartender took care of his phone, sunglasses and beer. You can't beat that level of care and hospitality. This place won us over immediately. They offer a good variety of craft beer. You can also purchase merch as well. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Al Pastor with Pineapple

During my brief visit to this brewery, I enjoyed a refreshing Hazy Pale Ale and a Al Pastor Street Taco. The beer was nice and served by a friendly gentleman. Sitting at the counter made for quick service and an opportunity to view their operations, while experiencing the overall vibe. Will revisit in the future.

Feel better beer!
Rey M.

Definitely good beer(s)! Cool place to hangout with the boys and have a good time. Good service, friendly bartender. Small bar, 2 tables indoor, but outdoor is where you wanna be. A place to relax after work! Get your cool shirts, hoodies, and hats!

Hands Wraps IPA
Erik A.

This spot has it all, great beers on tap with a nice variety of styles. The service is always friendly and welcoming. It has an inside area to sit and watch the games and also a nice big outside area with TV out there as well. A huge plus is that it is kid friendly so bring the family along with you and enjoy some great craft beer. They have games to play as well like jenga and corn hole, on Thursday night they do trivia night which is always a good time. Also great food here, the smash burgers are some of the best I've ever had. They also have street tacos, nachos, and a huge tasty pretzels. You can definitely tell the chef puts love into the food they make. This is definitely a spot you must try when in Temecula area.

initially, my cousins and I wanted to go to 1909, but with a 40-minute wait versus no wait at all,…read morePublic House was the obvious choice. Our server was amazing, and the food was super tasty. We ordered a bunch to share--pizza, burgers, shishito peppers, pesto pasta, and goat cheese toast--all of which were delish. That said, there were a few downsides. At one point, the server forgot to put in my order, which was fine since we were all full, but it was a bit funny waiting for a burger that wasn't even in the system. We were excited to hear the band, but with some tech difficulties and having been there over an hour, we decided it was time to head out. Overall, it's a good place with great vibes, good food, and wonderful service. Definitely a spot I'd return to for a relaxed night out.

We still come here for brunch occasionally & taco Tuesdays when they have them (currently not happening). Seating is pretty open & outdoor patio is very nice on a warm day. The restaurant doubles as a club on weekends with a dj. They also offer events during the week at times like a sip & paint or karaoke you just need to check the website to find out what & when. Staff is super friendly & since they are known to get busy at times we have learned to be very patient when this occurs... we know that tge servers are well worth the wait! My favorite dish here is the avocado toast or the tomato addiction appetizer. During Christmas they have really tasty cocktails & decorations to make it feel festive/cozy. Downside is the restrooms: only 2 both co Ed & they often smell. So I often wait until we go somewhere else to potty.

Stopped by Karl Strauss Brewing Company and had a really good experience. It's a great spot if you…read moreenjoy craft beer and good food. They have a solid selection of house brewed beers, so it's fun trying a few different ones depending on what you like. The beer tasted fresh and well made. The food was also really good and went well with the drinks. The menu has a good variety of options and everything we ordered came out hot and flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's a nice place to hang out with friends for a meal or just grab a drink. The staff were friendly and the service was quick even though the place was a little busy. Overall it's a great brewery restaurant and definitely somewhere I'd come back to again.

Our group of 12 adults and 8 kids came to the restaurant for a team dinner on a Saturday evening…read more We emailed and made reservations well in advance. The restaurant was surprisingly empty. The first five minutes of the dinner were pleasant with instructions to order via QR code (no problem). However the issues with service were apparent immediately. Orders were placed for refreshments, appetizers, waters, etc. Within 20 mins food began to be delivered with no names/descriptions of the beverage or plate being delivered. Our group was left navigating who ordered what and determine what beer was what and finding the correct owner. Dinner plates delivered no place settings at the table, no condiments (ketchup) and no drinks for more than half of the table. That lefts us going to the bar to retrieve our own cutlery.... Going to the bar to request our waters and our sodas... even after three attempts to ask for our drinks (water, lemonade, soda) the drinks weren't brought out. Many members of our party had their dinner with NO refreshments. We actually ended up serving ourselves our drinks from a dispenser located outside... we also ended up refilling our own drinks Our water was finally brought out at the end of dinner.. It was the worst service I have EVER had. What a shame.

Another great experience at BJ's. The kids brought me here for my birthday and the place was busy…read moreas it could be. The place was filled with happy customers and it was well lit. The food, let me tell you about the food. Our server Kris (Kristen) was awesome. She was on the ball, polite and you could tell she was genuine. I ordered the smash burger off the weekly deal. You get a lot of food for the price. The kids started off with the pretzel and beer cheese. Then the hickory brisket and bacon burger, and the Korean sticky ribs and a Caesar salad. Topped with a couple Monday $6 margaritas. To end the night, a salted caramel Pizookie. Definitely recommend going for sure.

I really wanted to like this experience, and I know without a doubt it could have been better. We…read morewere seated at a table with Michael, and you know that awkward feeling when you feel like you're bothering someone? That's exactly how my family and I felt. We even talked about it after dinner, and I wasn't the only one who picked up on that vibe. We received our drinks and were asked if we wanted to start with anything, so we ordered two appetizers--but not before asking a few questions about the menu. He didn't seem very interested in explaining anything and simply responded with "yeah, it's good." When a customer asks what's popular, that's the perfect opportunity for a server to showcase their knowledge and help guide the experience. It's not about blame if someone doesn't like a dish--it's about making sure they feel informed and confident in their choice. Instead, we felt rushed and not really cared for. After putting the order in, he came back to ask if we were ready to order our mains. We had a few more questions, especially about the pizzas, and ultimately decided on the barbecue chicken pizza. Some time passed, and our appetizers finally arrived--but we had no small plates, utensils, or napkins. We looked around for him and couldn't find him, and since the other servers nearby were busy, I ended up walking across the restaurant just to get what we needed. Things became more noticeable as we finished our food and sat there for a while with empty glasses. Once we were ready to pay, there was a QR code on the table, and as soon as he noticed we were about to check out, he came over with a water pitcher to refill our glasses and made small talk. It would've been nice to have that level of attentiveness while we were actually eating (which did once at the beginning when our food came to our table). Waiting until the very end didn't feel genuine. I'm not sure I would visit this location again. I haven't been to a BJ's in years--about 12, back when I lived in the Midwest--so this felt like a fresh experience for me. Honestly, I'd rate it two stars as a new customer, mainly due to the service. On a positive note, the food did come out hot. The chicken nachos were the standout appetizer, and the sampler was just okay. The barbecue chicken pizza, however, wasn't my favorite--I wouldn't order it again. The crust tasted like it may have been beer-based, which didn't pair well with the barbecue sauce. It might've worked better with a traditional marinara, but I gave something new a try, and that's what matters. If you're in the area, it might be worth stopping by for the food alone, but when it comes to customer service, there's definitely room for improvement.
