    Vegetarian sandwich hummus on the side
    Brent M.

    I was here reluctantly today (due to past experience) for a special event that included a free lunch. The service is abominable. The order-taker/cashier was like a deer in the headlights. I've noticed this every time I've been in there. It appears they go through many staff. The lack of service in this establishment is astonishing. The food runner was devoid of any kind of personality and was agitated that she had to bring food to the table and deliberately avoided questions that were asked. Not one staff member spent any effort speaking with the group to establish some rapport and adding to their customer base. Totally a missed opportunity and possibly the whole reason why they would entertain such meetings. The music was loud and probably a very poor choice for any type of meeting, considering the subject matter and close positioning to other tables that probably didn't want to hear the conversation. I've been here several times usually just for a beer, but I'm done. However, they have a great HAPPY HOUR so use your own discretion, but don't expect warm and fuzzy. Oh, the food you might ask?-MEH!

    This is my first time to this establishment. The service was great the food made fresh and flavorfull. It took a little while to get our order but well worth the wait.

    We walked in not knowing what it expect but the menu was awesome, so many choices and there are vegan options too! There's lemonade and IPA's to your delight! It was spacious and we dined inside not realizing there is a back patio with the bar! I love the cozy space and the service was fast. The food came and it was superb! I ordered the salmon bowl with the crunchy garlic et al and it was off the chart! It was a perfect mix of rice, salmon and vegetable and the sauce was great! I would recommend this place if you have not tried it yet, you don't regret it. I will be back for the empanadas! PS they do have happy hour! Check them out!

    Half a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich
    Kris G.

    I have only been here twice, but this is a good option for a fast casual meal. You order at the counter and then take a number to your table. This style of ordering is especially useful when you want to be sure everyone can pay for their items only, or if you have a group who would overall like to stay a while and have individuals come and go as they please. They have a decent amount of tables inside and on their patio which is dog friendly. I also really like that the bar is outdoor as well. The food is decent. On the most recent trip, I had a burger and my companions had the ceasar salad and the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Both really liked theirs. We were able to have some wine and beer, a meal, and it was all very casual in about 30 minutes.

    Located on Haun & Newport Roads in the 'Countryside Marketplace' near the Breakfast Club, with plenty of parking. There's inside and outside seating. We stopped here for lunch hoping for a great meal. While I loved the location and the spacious, clean atmosphere, the food was a mixed bag. We started with a 'Beef Empanada', which was excellent. However, I regretted switching from a burger to the 'Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate'. The meat was bland and too pink for my liking, but the sides were the real issue: the mashed potatoes had an odd, burnt-rubber scent and a hard consistency, while the mac n cheese and bread were both too hard to enjoy (a disappointing menu choice for sure). On the bright side, the 'Thai Chicken Curry Bowl' was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed their "Stubborn" soda station. Service was fast, and they have a great happy hour (7 days a week, 2-5 PM). I'd come back, but I'll definitely stick to the burgers or bowls next time.

    We came here to grab lunch and we enjoyed our experience! This restaurant is where you order first, get a number to place on your table, sit down and your food is brought out to you! There are many options on the menu and we decided on the salmon plate, empanadas, brussel sprouts, red sangria and an old fashioned. They have seating inside and outside! This place is good for large groups and the bathroom was clean! They have huge bar outside with TVs! The food was okay. The drinks were good! The employees were all kind and friendly!

    Cafeteria style restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the staff were efficient. They have a happy hour menu, including beer and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Always delicious food and love the beer options. I had the Tokyo Glaze BBQ Chicken Sandwich and it was spot on amazing and the fries here are always amazing.

    Brisket bowl with jasmine rice and brussel sprouts

    Soooo sad to see the brisket bowl go! It must return! It was theeee item I would always order! I tried the tri tip bowl. It was alright. It might be a long time before I return.

    The rock hard throw away part of the bread
    Adrianna N.

    I swore this place off and thought I'd give it one more chance. They didn't put the sauce in our $20 plate togo, there was one ounce of chicken in the curry bowl and the photo of this side of bread should tell you everything you need to know. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Everything was so delicious! Came here for lunch with the family. We sat outside in their patio. Service was extremely quick and each dish was absolutely amazing.

    Tri-Tip Bowl with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    Leo H.

    First and last time coming here $60 for some dry chicken and tough tri-tip with no flavor..Brussels sprouts was good and the chicken had flavor but it was dry and definitely not worth the money service was ok but I enjoyed the beer selection..I might have to try something else but I don't know cause I had better and more elsewhere for the price I paid....

    José U.

    Visited on: 9/13/25 Service: Was okay. I felt bad because it was getting close to peak lunch time and there was only one girl working the counter. Food: We tried the American Burger (1- medium and the other medium well), grandma mac and cheese, and sweet potato fries. The burgers were beyond well done and just tasted like burnt charcoal. Mac & Cheese was cold and was just pasta with cheese on top. The sweet potatoes were the best part. Lastly, we tried the chocolate chip cookies and they were good as well. Overall: We will more than likely never return. For the price of food you would think it would come out better. The burgers were just under $15 (side and drink not included). A small drink is $4 and sides range from $4-$6. Could not finish the burgers and mac and cheese. Picture is the Medium burger...

    Well, let me first state by saying that I haven't had a meal there yet. I went to check it out but…read moreI had just eaten so I had a beer. I met one of the owners and he was very charming and we had a nice chat and he handed me a discount coupon for a free appetizer or something for my return which is a clever move. It's a refreshing nicely curated interior, unseen in the Menifee area. This brings a little "elevated" sophistication to retirement central! A ray of SUN in the CITY one might say. Applebee's regulars be prepared for a new experience that might shock you if you can take the leap. The lovely plated dishes coming out of that kitchen were top-notch architectural masterpieces. I will have to return soon, but I'm vegetarian so I might have some limitation, but we'll see. Maybe they'll whip something up? The interior is trying to be real hip and it sort of works in a positive way but a little bit of that modern gauche. You know, kind of like Z gallery meets mid-century with a slight Lichtenstein tribute with a cartoonish flavour. It does work though, and carries to the exterior or the exterior carries to the interior? With the limitations of a strip mall it's a little bit hard to put lipstick on a pig. But they've executed it well and it's inviting and a departure from the norm. I'm excited to get there soon.

So often when you order fish tacos, you end up searching for the fish, but that definitely wasn't the case here. The tacos were packed with fish and generously portioned. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Once seated, we ordered right away, but it took more than another hour for our food to arrive. When the food finally came out, the portion sizes seemed noticeably smaller. My husband's order was incorrect, and he didn't receive his meal until after the rest of us had already finished eating. We were also missing a side we had ordered. On top of that, we didn't receive our drinks for at least 30 minutes, and were told the bartender was "flustered." Overall, we left feeling really disappointed and dissatisfied, especially since we've had such positive experiences here in the past. At this point, we'd honestly rather grab something quick from Canyon Lake Market than go through another experience like this.

    I HAD THE BEST FISH OF MY LIFE HERE!…read more The photo might not do it justice, but holy moly - I seriously had a life changing moment eating the striped bass here. It was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones separating right off to indulge to the fullest extent. They tell you it takes 30 mins to cook, which is well worth the wait. The skin was perfectly crispy and the seasoning was to die for. The meat was juicy and I couldn't stop eating it alongside the garlic yogurt. It also came with a side of chickpeas and summer squash. The cocktails were a nice break away from all the wine in Temecula - but I wished the drinks would be punchier and more creative. The charred cauliflower was a nice order, though it was too "raw" and therefore dry. I think it'd be better lightly fried to lock in some juice. Service was fantastic, especially as the server is the one that pushed us to get the fish. The ambiance is fantastic; we stayed inside but the outside is beautiful.

The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end.
