Dogs allowed in outdoor patio area
Jessica L.

The location is beautiful. The food was excellent. The service is a bit lackluster and slow, but I feel like that is the vibe sometimes when you just want to relax with some wine. We really enjoyed the food and location. They also brought my dog a bowl of water.

Avocado salmon toast
Susan T.

We came on a Friday for lunch and were the only ones in the restaurant. The service was good and the view was amazing. We ordered the crab cakes and salmon avocado toast to share. The crab cakes were on the smaller side. They were pretty salty and had a lot of different spices in the breading. The salmon avocado toast was very good.

Gorgeous location in February
Olena V.

This restaurant has a gorgeous location - a lush flower field in February wasn't on my bingo card. The service was SO slow. We waited for 20+ minutes just for our wine bottle to come out and 20 more for my friend's virgin martini. Even through there were 7 workers behind the bar, their overall system seemed disorganized. The flat breads were decent but my Caesar salad was pretty much two heads of lettuce showered with dressing.

This place aesthetically is beautiful but service is extremely slow. The food is not worth it. It is mediocre at best. We ordered off the brunch menu and it took our food an hour and a half for two entrees. The waiter might as well not have existed because we barely saw him and then he totally disappeared and we never saw him again. This place was not crowded at all. There was only one other group of four seated inside when we arrived and only one group outside. The hostess was welcoming and kind. If you want to wait a long time for mediocre food at a beautiful location, come here. We had reservations but on a Sunday afternoon it didn't seem necessary because the place was pretty empty and you're going to wait almost 2 hours for your food anyways. Probably because the restaurant is not worth coming to. Our waiter Brian, was sitting around chatting and hanging out. He barely came to check on us. I brought my husband here for his bday and I felt so bad that I chose this place because it was a true disappointment. Andrew was the only redeeming individual in this situation. He actually came to check on us and offered us champagne. We couldn't drink even if we wanted to because we needed food in our system! .We will not be back.

I did the tequila tasting with Kevin and Peyton, let me say it was amazing! Never done a tequila tasting, had a blast and the food that came with it was amazing.

Lobster grilled cheese

We had reservations for 6 at 12:45. Had just finished a wine tasting at the cellar room before wandering over here for lunch. We were seated promptly and our drink order was taken. We ordered some appetizers that came out within 10 minutes. My problem was our entree order wasn't taken for 30 minutes after our appetizers were finished. We waited an hour and thirty minutes from being seated to when our entrees arrived. The place was maybe half full at the time. I get that the pandemic has made things crazy but this wait seemed excessive. We were late for our next wine tasting because lunch took 2 hours. As for the food it was good. The appetizers we had we great and the sandwiches/burgers were tasty. I was disappointed in the Caesar salad that I got with my burger. I'd give this place 3.5 stars but they really need to work on getting orders and food out quicker.

Shrimp skewers
Shanon A.

First time here and we were very disappointed with the service. It was not busy at all and there seemed to be a lot of employees standing around gossiping and doing a whole lot of nothing. We waited about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table and finally I had to get up and speak to the person who looked like a manager and ask if we could possibly get some service. There were only 3 tables that needed service so they were not busy at all. After another several minutes the server comes over and took our order. We ordered the calamari, which was ok. Not a lot of food for the price. We also ordered the salmon and the shrimp skewers. They were both good, maybe cut back on the swipe of yogurt...If you are hungry please note they do not have sides for the entrees. They do have a couple of side options if you order any of their sandwiches. Truffle fries, side salad or sweet potato fries. The prices for the entrees are pretty high so I expected more. We ordered an old fashioned which was great and the strawberry drink which was not so great. At the end of our meal we ordered the night cap and the dessert drink which was supposed to come with a lemon bar. The waiter came back and told me that they were out of the lemon bars. He asked if I still wanted the drink and I told him no. That I would like the coffee martini instead. The bartender made it very well known that she was not happy about the change. Not my issue...if you are out of something I order then I don't want it. The view was nice and will be even better when they get the lake filled. Hopefully if we go again the service will be better and the manager will actually care about her patrons and come to check up on the tables.

Mushroom flatbread (with no discernible mushrooms)
Charlie H.

Congratulations we have a winner! I've been to restaurants at least once a week for the past 30 years all over the world and this is the worst tasting dish ever, goat gonads included. Appetizers are ok, entrees are a complete ripoff, go to Taco Bell instead, you won't regret it! Service is good though.

There are plenty of great spots in Old Town Temecula, but the family decided on the Rodeo Cafe on a…read morefine sweltering SoCal fall evening, and we loved it. Sorry I don't have more pictures of what the family ordered, but I got the half rack of ribs, and it was tender and juicy and you must get an extra side of their barbecue sauce! What stood out? The service was great. The music from the DJ was lively ( if you want a quiet night, maybe sit outside where you're not too near the speakers). The loaded potato skins, mashed potatoes, and fries were also top notch, and I'm not even a potato guy! When the wife said the tortilla shell on her tostada salad was the best she's ever had, I thought she was just exaggerating. She was not! It was so good that I told my mom to try a bite, and she's usually resistant. One bite, and she asked, ooh can I have another piece? My dad, same thing. The fish tacos! Yes! There was a bit of cilantro in the salsa, and I don't like cilantro, but I didn't care. Everything was too good. Please get the fried fish too. The grilled fish, save that for another time and another place. My boy was in the mood for what I thought was a boring order of mac 'n cheese, and again I was proven wrong. He let me have a taste, and again it was top notch mac 'n cheese. Stop lying to yourself and giddy on up to the Rodeo Cafe already!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and I loved that we could order from either the breakfast or lunch menu. I had the classic burger with fries, which was delicious, while my friend ordered an omelet. It was the perfect warm, sunny day to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere and views of Old Town Temecula. The restaurant has a cozy, comfortable and family-friendly feel with plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and professional throughout our visit. They also offer daily specials, cocktail specials and happy hour, with a large menu that gives you plenty to choose from. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying some of the other items on the menu!

We arrived with 15-20 folks. The air conditioned indoors was a welcoming environment! What I like is that you order at the counter so that the issue of splitting checks is not there. When we ordered you saw a sign that said this isn't fast food your food is made to order to warn us don't expect your food right away. I was slightly worried because we had a second game in 2 and a half hours but I knew it would be okay. We ordered and sat inside. The staff was kind enough to let us move tables around. Then I'd say within 10 minutes our food orders started coming out. The orders then continued to come out at a very steady pace! We were shocked. Then we were shocked at how DELICIOUS the food was. One by one like a chorus of glee, each person commented on how much they enjoyed their food. The menu was so vast that no one had the same order in the adults and each person loved their food. There was only one hiccup. One of the parents order a canned drink but didn't notice that it was alcoholic. This was in no way the fault of the restaurant as it was obviously beer. The parent didn't complain he just opened it and left it. The waitress who was bussing our area asked him was something wrong if he didn't like it and the dad said, I didn't realize it was alcohol. The waitress walks over with the POS machine asked him is order number found the drink and refunded it to the dads card. She did this completely unprompted and strictly because she felt it was the right thing to do. THAT is how you provide excellent service! Thank you The Local Provisions for your gracious hospitality! We will be back!

The last time I was there, I got the B.L.A.T - bacon, lettuce, avocado, and turkey on ciabatta bread. Everything was fresh and tasty. The only thing is the bread was a bit much for me. I'm not complaining. I just think I would have liked it better on a thinner slice of bread. The inside dining area is not that big, with smaller tables. So it's not good for a big group. It's a good choice for breakfast or lunch!

You have to order at the register and they bring your food out to you. I got the avocado toast. It was quite bland and was put on top of buttered toast. There was a few pickled onions scattered on top and a slice of radish on each half of the cut-in-half piece of toast. The toast was definitely not commensurate with the highish price. Breakfast burritos were around $18 as well as the avocado toast. The self service coffee was extremely bitter and off putting, especially for a $6 cup of coffee. Based on the mediocrity of the food and the price points for said food I would not return. The menu here on Yelp needs updating, particularly regarding prices. Avocado toast, breakfast burrito and 2 coffees were over $40.
