I think their food is delicious and I really like their wide variety of selection! I feel like no matter what your food likes are you can find something here! I've only gotten it delivered once and it was good, but I much prefer to go in and pick out what I want! :-) read more

Been here three times. Had the chicken the first and third time (it was a bit dry but good). Had the spaghetti on the second team. Good but a bit oily. I will say that the staff seems a bit unconcerned, in a bad way. I would like to see a bit more pride and energy in the staff. I would say that this place has the potential to be the Urban plated and Tender greens of Temecula; however, as it is now, either brands would immediately win my buisness if they were to love into the area. read more

I'm lost on what to rate it, there are days when I like coming here and other days when I wish I didn't. The chicken sandwich here is really good. I feel good knowing that I'm putting in good things in my body and that it's local and that I'm supporting all the local farms when I order food from here. However, the customer service is varies a lot. There are days when it's top notch and other days when you asked yourself if they actually work for tips because they're just downright rude or really really really slow! Food here is pretty pricey for what you get, not to mention the food isn't out of this world either, so for them to charge you what you would get from a fine dining steak house for the same chicken, it makes you wonder why people don't want to eat healthy or organic, because it's too pricey. Nonetheless, I come here when I want a healthier fix than what is served around the mall area, but then again, Trader Joe's is right there as well and can get a cheaper option if I wanted to. read more

I would say this place is usually five stars. We come in once or twice a month and we love that their burgers are homemade and grass fed and on a homemade bun! Everything here is pretty much scratch made and tastes so good! It's a little more difficult during Covid as to be expected, call in orders must be done in person or online but sometimes it does not work online so you have to come in person and wait outside for your order. They won't take orders over the phone, no exceptions. The staff seems tired at the end of the day so the service is not the best. I wonder if it has been difficult on the team during this time. Even still we will try to support local businesses as much as possible! read more

Tri Tip was delicious! Patio seating with mist, was pretty refreshing while seeping a nice cold glass of beer

OVERPRICED and they ripped me off. I ordered dinner for two, drove all the way home and realized I didn't get the two empanadas I paid for. I called and spoke with the manager. She apologized, and promised to refund me for the two empanadas and said she would text me some sort of coupon. Well she didn't. I don't like be lied to and promise to never eat there, discourage others as well, and celebrate when they shut down due to lack of sales. read more

Arrrgghhh.... I hate being disappointed. I thought this place was going to blow me away. First off, parking lot sucks. That's not their fault... I can live with that. Once we finally walked in, I opened the left door and there's a chair no more than 4 inches right in front of me? So really, there should only be one door to open, and that's the right one... We went right at noon and the place can definitely get a little tight with people standing in the middle of the restaurant looking at the menu. I was LITERALLY walking the same exact way you do when you're trying to get back to your seat in the middle of the theater row and everybody is in their seat trying to move their legs for you to walk through... no joke. You know what I'm talking about! Ordered a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich on Wheat and my lady got the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich on White. WIth a small bag of chips, $19 and some change. WHOA! I was a little shocked... I could've gone to Togo's down the street and got 2 sandwiches for $12? It seemed a bit steep for no drink, sides, etc. Food was okay... chicken was pretty dry in a few bites I had and there was minimal avocado, but still definitely filled me up in eating just half of it. I had a bite of my girlfriend's Tri Tip sandwich and that was just okay as well... Maybe we'll come back and try something different, but not anytime soon unfortunately :( read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Temecula - Tuscan Chicken Sandwich - $8 - Gluten-Free Near Me - Temecula, California

I was looking for a place that offered healthy organic food like the Urban Plates in San Diego and found Bushfire Grill. I have been here several times. However the first few times, I thought that the food was okay mostly because some of the curries and the stews tasted either too sweet or salty to me. However, my fiance and I tried this place again yesterday, and this time, he ordered the chicken and rib plate with a side of mac n cheese and chips, and wow! All my previous opinions about the place has changed. The chicken and ribs were tender, the mac n cheese was tasty (wish there was more!) and the chips were fresh, crispy, and hot! Another great added bonus was a light green sauce that comes on the side. I'm not sure what's in it, but it's a great dipping sauce! While I do think this place is on the pricier side...I will be returning if I'm craving some chicken and ribs! read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Temecula - Tender ribs and chicken with a side of Mac n cheese and chips! - Gluten-Free Near Me - Temecula, California

The location is hidden. Very small location. If you feel claustrophobic you may not like this small location during peak hours. For a burger, Tri tip meal and quesadilla for us it was a total of $43. You pay for what you get which is quality. Overall, I would be back. I enjoyed it. I did ask for medium on my burger and it was not. The line gets long which makes it crowded inside the restaurant read more

Chicken Caesar Sammie: Fresh baked focaccia bread. Chicken breast (free range, duh). Shaved parm. Lettuce. Caramelized onions. Bacon. Homemade caesar dressing. AMAZEBALLS. BBQ Sirloin Sammie: Prime natural angus beef. Same fresh baked focaccia bread. Sharp Tillamook cheddar. Grilled onions. Homemade bbq sauce. FANTASTIC. The boy and I each got a side of sweet potato fries to accompany our sandwiches, and dear lord, were they heavenly. This place is awesome. AND they have Hansen's natural sodas (canned of course). The 8 year old in me squealed with delight when I saw this. Check out their website for weekly specials and 'family to-go' packages. I recommend ordering ahead if possible. It's a new establishment so a few kinks need to be worked out; BUT, I have full faith this place will be around for a while. Definitely will be back. read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Temecula - So full! - Gluten-Free Near Me - Temecula, California

I really appreciate the concept of this place- organic, GF, etc., and a fast casual dining atmosphere. Customer service is slow and terrible. My experience was not so great. The chick made a mistake with my order as take-out when clearly I told her I'll be dining in with my friend. My friend made her order separately and got her meal in a timely order. I ordered a sandwich with a side salad and she had the rib and chicken entree. I did not get my meal after sitting there for 45 minutes. Long story short, the manager comes by to tell me that they'll remake my meal and apologizes. The manager has the food runner give me a coupon for one free burger. First of all, the manager should have handed that to me personally. Second, 1??? I was there with my friend so I should have received 2. Let's say I was there alone, he should have handed me a couple so I can bring more people with me next time. It's common sense if you want your business to grow with WOM. Meals are over priced but I guess that's okay because it's organic, etc. don't get me wrong, I'll pay and even travel for good yummy food. Maybe it was a bad day but I won't be returning. I'd rather get my meals at Barons. read more

Wow!!!!! First of all, amazing customer service. They have a little case of empanadas at the register and the chicken empanada is the best I have ever had, and I love empanadas. The millionaire BLT caught my eye, who doesn't love fancy bacon? Delicious!!!!!!! I had a bite of the curry cauliflower too, amazing! There is an outdoor seating area that is available sans covid shutdown. Definitely go here! read more

Wow. So good. This was a quick pitstop for lunch on our way from Palm Springs to San Diego, and it made me wish I lived closer. I had a brisket bowl over mashed potatoes. It was meat and veg--how much more healthy can you get for eating out?! Meat was flavorful and tender and vegetables were cooked well, not mushy or raw. There is plenty of outside seating and even a covered patio. There are a line of small tables inside, which is where I sat. It's hiding in the north side of Trader Joes, but worth discovering. read more

Decided to try this place via delivery on Postmates, and was not disappointed! Tried the Tuscan Chicken sandwich, side of roasted brussel sprouts, and the veggie empanada with chimichurri sauce. All of the items were great, and I loved the way the brussel sprouts were cooked! Will definitely be going back here to try more items in the future! read more

I love this place! A full hearty meal that is completely healthy and nourishing - which is very hard to find for eating out.

The wife and I met here for lunch, we were running early and they had just opened. The place was set up and ready to go. Menu-easy to see, read, and understand. Staff-friendly, helpful, and able to answer questions about menu, food prep, etc. Food-delivered to table within a reasonable amount of time. Appeared fresh, good sized portions, and appeared exactly as the menu described them. Tested fresh and average flavour wise. Not bland, but solid(nothing made my taste buds pop). A walk to the back to wash my hands revealed a lot of storage, i saw quality products. Many the same that are used in my house. Tip-if you want a fulfilling meal but do not want an actual entree you can order "4 sides". read more

I have been here twice. I really wanted to like it, and after reading all the reviews here on Yelp, I walked in expecting I would; however, I was disappointed. Let me first say, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, and great was what I was looking for. Their menu is really large, which can be a good thing; however, I found it overwhelming and hard to narrow down. I landed on sandwich the first time and a burger the next. Both were good; however, like I said before neither was anything special. I think some day I will give them another try and go in a different direction. Maybe it's time to look at one of their braised meats and rice options. read more

This place is so DELICIOUS ! I absolutely love it. My family and I have ordered from here 3 or 4 times using various delivery companies (ie. Doordash/Uber Eats) The food is so amazing and so fresh. We're huge fans of the tri tip, french fries, and grilled veggies. Honestly it's some of the best food I've had in a long time. As someone who generally doesn't cook, I love being able to fresh and healthy food. This place is an absolute must try ! read more

We love this place. Although I did not give it a 5 stars because the food is overpriced for what we ordered

Have come back several times and the food has been really good. The veggie bowl is amazing. Also tried the California burger and it was cooked perfectly, lots of sauce/not dry at all. I think the first time was just an unlucky draw, this place is actually really good. read more

I was hopeful coming here but I was disappointed. While the staff was kind. . . The wait was really bad for just a salad and sandwich. Additionally, the forgot to but dressing on my salad. While I may give them a second shot... it's unlikely. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in Temecula that I have been to! I love this place! I love how they serve grass-fed and organic meats! My favorites: -The en feugo burger-I love the spice, the bun and the bacon is awesome! -chipotle braised short rib- great flavor! Texture! I get it with garlic mashed potatoes and the veggies. -Panang chicken curry- so good! I get it with rice which balances the spice from the curry. I also love the sweet potato fries and the Mac n cheese. -------- Happy hour-half off beer and wine Parking-depending on the time of day the parking lot can be a bit crowded Service- I have always received great service read more

I would love to give this restaurant 5 stars because my meal from beginning to end was fabulous; however, my husband ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and it just kept falling apart so unfortunately, his experience was not so hot. I ordered the bacon, arugula panini. The best panini of my life. I had dreams about this sandwich for weeks. The service was great and the staff very helpful with working with us newbies. I'll definitely be back to this place with my husband I hope. read more

Tasty food with healthy fresh options solid place would recommend for sure like the Thai Chicken Bowl and the Beef bowl good stuff.

I'd like to give it 5 stars because the food is great, but the service is awful. I do mobile orders because my lunch break is short. They have either bagged the wrong order (recently giving me a meat sandwich when I ordered a veggie one), left something out of the order, and/or they took an additional 15-20 minutes past the time it's supposed to be ready. On top of it, the staff is rude if you try and ask them anything. If they improve their staff, both in efficiency and politeness, then I could recommend them. I'm super bummed to be stuck eating a bacon sandwich with a sweet sauce (which I don't like) when I ordered a veggie one; it's a good thing I'm not vegetarian, or I'd be without a lunch as I don't have time to drive back and get the correct order. Yes, the bag had my name & order on it, and a quick glance inside told me it was a sandwich, so it was quite a disappointment to have the wrong sandwich. read more

Just like every BASIC restaurant in this SUB-BASIC town NO-ONE can get their food delivered to them on a Friday night because the business is TOO BUSY!? BUSY? You only consider your regular traffic Monday- Friday becaue your wack business strives for patrons five days a week. Hire more weekend staff! SO STUPID! deliver the food because nobody wants to go out in this traffic! If I owned a business and someone was trying to order a $60 worth of food from me... I wouldn't give a "you-know-what" about GrubHub, I would fulfill the order and have it delivered. Maybe you should go to a town hall meeting and talk about how nobody wants to come to your business anymore because there's so much traffic off of Winchester... AND ITS AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE read more

Extremely good! Great find & first time at this place. I've lived in the area for 1 year and have never been here before. My husband and I spotted this place while looking for dinner to eat.

I was sooo excited to eat that I forgot to take pictures! Everything looked so amazing. They have it set up like a deli in which you are able to see all the different cooked meats, sides and salads. I wanted to sample it all but I ended up other a tri-tip bowl. My husband had a burger with a side of brussel sprouts. We thoroughly enjoyed it all. read more

Update: I was quickly contacted by the owner of Bushfire Kitchen who reported the recipe was, in fact, made in error. I am impressed with his quick response and his attention to the issue. As I told him, the curry sauce was delicious, it just had too many peas. I can imagine it is very good when properly made. I will try it again and for sure give another update. Welp, not thaaaat bad. I don't think I ordered the right thing. I ordered lamb curry and got pea curry with some bits of lamb...not enough to make a full bite of lamb. A bit pricey for what you get. read more

The aoilis were great! We both had bushfire burgers- they were good. Mine was cooked perfectly- my girlfriend's wasn't. Got a side of fries and a side of Mac and cheese. They were good- nothing spectacular- but still good. Also got the lavendar hibiscus lemonade. It was sweet but good. It was better than a diner burger and We will try it again and get something else but it was nothing to write home about. So a bit pricey. 2 burgers a side of fries and a side of Mac and cheese was $34. read more

NOT ORGANIC, NON GMO - FALSE ADVERTISING They are advertised as being an organic restaurant but in reality they only have one organic thing on there entire menu; the mixed greens salad. Got this info from the Chef himself. Very disappointed... we walked out immediately. read more

Yum. The Chimichurri sauce that they provide for your bread is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeLISH. PROS- Awesome staff! SUPER friendly. Did I mention the Chimichurri sauce for the bread? My kids cleaned their plates. Cons- Place is a bit small and feels cramped It's a long drive from my house- so I can't just go get some bread and Chimichurri sauce. read more

Oh my goodness, this place is so scrumptious!! I always like Yelping independent restaurants in the areas we travel. This definitely is a gem in the heart of Temecula. Kind of a small restaurant, but does have a covered outdoor patio with heaters for those cool days. Upon entering, I was taken back (in a good way) by all the pots and pans sitting on a warming table with amazing looking food. It kind of felt like down home cooking. The whole chicken, which is open range, and the tri tip looked oh so good. Loved the many healthy selections of food; sweet potatoes, grilled vegetables, various salads etcetera. We had the Quinoa/Arugula with beets salad. It was delicious and different which we love. Also purchased the Tuscan Chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, the bread was a focaccia with seeds. It was the perfect bread for the sandwich. Oh and let me say, we always order sweet potato fries and these were one of the best batches yet. The cut is thicker which makes them meatier than the skinny ones most plates are served with. The interior of the place is pretty cool. The menu hangs above the glass where the hot and cold foods are behind for safe keeping. They are very large wood pieces with the written menu on them, very rustic/country looking. They serve good local wine, try their happy hour. Our service by the young men was excellent, very effecient and willing to answer all our questions and even chat about their wine favorites. The prices for the amount of food and quality was indeed worth every bite. It is definitely a town favorite and well known amongst the community especially being somewhat hidden in a strip mall by Trader Joes. All in all, excellent restaurant and we will stop in again when we are in the area. p.s. the pics I posted made many of my friends' mouths druel. read more

i used to come here all the time for burgers because I am gluten free and their gluten free buns used to be really good. however, the last few times the bread has been dry and crumbly. i'm not sure if they switched gluten free buns or the chefs aren't bothering to toast them first. Either way, the quality has gone down a lot and I end up feeling like I wasted my money. on the plus side the staff is friendly and they have grassed beef. read more

New ownership is not an improvement. We ordered online and set our pickup for 5:30 to allow us time to get there and not have cold food. At 5 we got a text it was ready so of course we got cold food and pasta that was dry. We were also missing an order of fries. We emailed them to notify them of the issue and they sent a $10 coupon. Gee thanks for a coupon I'm most likely never going to use. Acknowledge your mistake apologies and just refund the fries. Don't think that's too much to ask for. Not sure if we will go back but I can say we will not go to temecula again. Hopefully Menifee does a better job. read more
