This would have been a one star review had it not been for our server. She is a gem. We sat on the patio during the Rod Run figuring we would have a beer and something to eat. Hubs ordered the Abominable fries with steak and bacon and I ordered them with chicken. My fries had chicken that was cold, like it was meant for a salad which made it weird to eat. The cheese was sparse but the fries were warm/hot. The other order had no bacon, fries were lukewarm at best and a piece of the steak was so bad he had to spit it out. The server was great. So much so that we didn't send the food back, we just told her at the end so she was aware. She still got a generous tip. Won't be back. read more

Royce was our awesome server; informative, attentive, knowledgeable, friendly to say the least. We enjoyed wine flights ($20 for 5, 1 oz pours of your choice!), shared delicious food & laughed as we spent QT together; me, Bes & Bestie. Sit outside to people watch! read more

Crush & Brew - Friday fun times with my Bes & Bestie; we each had a flight - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

Visited this establishment with a couple of friends on Saturday, May 2, based on the vibe. Ordered a salad and a Flatbread pizza. The other couple received their order. We waited, and waited, no server, no order. The restaurant wasn't packed, there were plenty of empty tables......Finally able to flag someone down to cancel our order, as our friends finished their food. Ended up leaving without eating. Hungry people beware. read more

We were walking around Temecula after dinner and wanted to get some drinks. Stumbled upon this place and we definitely enjoyed the variety of beers on tap they had. Service was friendly and we were all able to sit at the bar with ease. read more

Takeout. Make sure to get your parking in the gravel parking lot validated right away. We watched the rodrun outside for a few minutes before entering and got a $170 parking ticket. But, fortunately hubs grabbed my jacket from the car before coming in and server, Ari assured us that it wouldn't be a problem due to a short time lapse between ticket and our validation. We ordered the TT burger to go. Wow- a generous juicy beef patty bathed in succulent sweet onions and tremendous flavor. Loved the fries too. Will definitely come again for a sit down meal and for sure, remember to get validated right away. Recommend! EG Eats read more

I was visiting a friend near Temecula and decided to check out Crush & Brew after. The place was clean and had a good vibe all around. Johnny made me feel right at home with his humor and hospitality. He made me my very first Saturn and I was super impressed. I will definitely be visiting this place again when I'm in town, and I hope next time Johnny is behind the bar again. read more

While spending the day in Temecula yesterday my wife and I learned of Thomson & Twin which is a speakeasy that we thought was new but has apparently been here for a while now. It's located right inside Crush & Brew which I've been to several times, but never knew they had a speakeasy. While waiting for our turn to enter, we were given a couple tickets for 10% off at C&B's bar, so we made our way over to it and were immediately greeted by Joey. Joey got me started on an old fashioned and prepared a bespoke drink for my wife which I believe had mezcal and bourbon both of which are her favorite spirits. The drinks were perfectly crafted and combined great spirits with flavors. After finishing our first round we asked for something else creative and kind of left it up to him to make us what he wanted. He then prepared a very refreshing tequila drink for her and a slightly different one for me which had flavors of cucumber and was all around a very refreshing drink. We even got to sample a little bit of his version of an espresso martini which was quite delicious and could definitely get you in trouble if you're not careful due to how great it was. We had a great time at Crush & Brew while waiting to get in to Thompson & Twain and Joey made sure that everyone at his bar was getting taken care of. It's no mystery why these guys have serving old town Temecula as long as they have. Until next time C&B! Thanks for the great drinks! read more

The beers were OK, and the food was just OK. My friend enjoyed her mocktail. The server was attentive, and checked on us often. I would probably get a cocktail next time. For the food, specifically we ordered the pork belly fries, and they were definitely undercooked and had very little pork belly on them. The fish and chips had a really nice breading, but overall the flavor of the fish was pretty bland even with tartar sauce. The real saving grace of this place was the speakeasy located inside. That place was lively, and the drinks were delicious. See my separate review for Thompson and Twain prospecting co. read more

Johnny was immaculate to a tee. Highly recommend. His expertise in mixology is the best in town! Highly recommend him for your drinks!

I had a friend in town and we decided to hang out in Old Town Temecula. We went to C & B and it was an amazing idea to stop here. They had live music, wonderful staff and the ambience was welcoming. The food was to die for... fabulous menu everything tasted good. I would like to thank Tai for providing us world class service with a smile. Thanks and I will be bringing more friends. read more

Would've given a zero if it was possible. We were looking for a chill spot to finish out the weekend and grab a quick bite before heading out. There was a handful of people inside so we assumed it would be a swift little lunch. BOY were we wrong!! Service was slow and unaccomadating. Kitchen was "backed up" so food came out after 45min of waiting... and our food came out separately. We got: Buffalo chicken wings - dry, tough and not enough sauce Avocado toast - overpriced, a quarter of an avocado and under seasoned Turkey Club subbed chicken - they ran out of turkey. Chicken had zero seasoning even with the extra sauce on the side. We were told "that's not how the sandwich comes" when we complained. Overall, would not recommend. read more

Crush & Brew is absolutely amazing! The owners truly go above and beyond to make sure every guest is well taken care of --The food was incredible, full of flavor and beautifully presented. But the real highlight of the night was our waiter, Cody. His service was exceptional -- friendly, attentive, and genuine. What blew me away was that he actually remembered me from a winery ten years ago -- and even remembered the exact drink I used to order! That level of care and memory says everything about the kind of service you can expect here. If you haven't been to Crush & Brew yet, do yourself a favor and go. You'll be treated like family from the moment you walk in. read more

This place has really changed. It's been about 8 years since I've been to this location. And wow, it doesn't even seem like the same place! It's wild. It used to be more of a restaurant. Now it's set up more like a bar. The chairs are all uncomfortable stools. With exception to a few normal chairs inside. My butt was hurting after the first 30 minutes. I guess they don't want people to stay long? The food was decent. Nothing spectacular. I really enjoyed the charcuterie board with cheese and fruit. I do wish it had more bread with it for the cheese. The French fries were yummy. Our party also ordered flatbread pizza and cauliflower wings. The food is alright. My friends had some wine. They enjoyed that. I drank water out of the tiny glasses they gave for water lol read more

Get the flatbread. Period. Always a super fantastic beer menu & service always top notch. read more

Very good customer service and atmosphere. The two above mentioned aspects of our group visit deserve five stars in my books. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Unfortunately, we had mixed opinions on the food we ordered. - Happy hour starters were priced between 5$-7$, which isn't bad at all, but the food quality wasn't quite there. The calamaris were over fried and had not so pleasant taste. Chicken wings were okay. Nice glaze flavour but the wings were tad on a dry side. - Our group's mains were hit and miss too. 1. Flat bread was very tasty. The toppings and sauce had good flavours. The dough came well done and crispy as requested. 2. Cajun shrimp dish was presented well. The sauce had mild spiciness and acidity which paired well with shrimp. The polenta was too clumpy. 3. Halibut fish wasn't seasoned, however, other ingredients on the plate were which helped when paired with the fish. 4. Linguine with clams had pasta cut into small pieces which was odd. There was way too much sauce on the plate. The flavours were okay. No disappointment when it came to drinks. Good selection of various beverages and all were prepared well. read more

The owner is really down to earth, mingles with the guests and they added comedy nights which I love!

Tried this place once with my boyfriend, and i was not really impressed. Their menu is super simple, & not really anything you can't make @ home. The servers & the staff are super sweet, but i didn't really get the feeling that they really were interested in providing a really good dining experience. There are a lot of other great places to eat in Old Town Temecula or even in the whole I.E. read more

My friends and I ordered their Cheese, Please with added Deli meat and Wow!! Had more than enough of everything on that board and it was all delicious. I honestly think it's one of the yummiest cheeseboards I've had, including from the big wineries. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Being completely honest that this was not our first choice for dinner. We were seated immediately, service was great. It's not too loud but not too quiet. Fast refills. Ordering food was easy and I got exactly what I asked for, which is great when you make an adjustment to the food! Food was really good, including the fries. My only complaint was that the food took forever! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Came to grab a bite to eat with friends. It was not really busy, plenty of empty tables-- this should have been a sign. We all ordered, and waited... half of our order arrived, after 30 minutes, we had to flag someone down to have them cancel our missing items. Complete waste of time. read more

Good drinks, decent beer list. Accommodating servers and staff. Bathroom wreaked of urine at 5pm. Food was inconsistent. Calamari over priced, took 30 minutes to receive. Came out soggy, very small portion for 18$, marinara was like old or something. Chicken Katsu was decent, tasty pickles and spicy slaw, portion small, rice was undercooked and crunchy. Fish and chips were good. Pork belly Mac and cheese was a huge portion, pork belly wasn't braised long enough. Cheese sauce tasted basic like one cheese cheddar. Flatbread looked basic. The flat bread was whiter than wonder bread after being cooked. Saw the chef in the bar for about 25 minutes hanging out watching the games. Never once stopped by and asked anyone how their food tasted. I would have told him. Looked like a cafeteria chef. Do not recommend eating here. read more

Terrible service despite the fact it was not busy. The lunch menu is mostly just burgers and sandwiches, the dinner menu might be better if you want variety. Ordered the calamari and it was disgusting. It was burnt and extremely rubbery like it was sitting open in a freezer for months, the sauce couldn't redeem it. Not to mention the portion was tiny. read more

First off because it is Mother's Day I expected a wait... however , our reservation was at 11 am, there were 6 off us the restaurant was empty I mean empty except two other tables. We ordered the pretzel appetizer, it took 30 minutes to get and the cheese dip was was cold, first sign of trouble. We all ordered our meals, after 50 minutes now 12:15 we asked where our food was and were told it was being plated... another 5 minutes goes by and they brought out one plate chicken tenders and fries ICE COLD.... AFTER 20 more minutes 2 more plates came out all ice cold, finally we asked to speak to a ,manager as this was ridiculous and we were hungry and upset.... The manager excuse was they were working with a CRAFT KITCHEN ..... like what ? Bottom line we never got the remaining meals and told the manager this was unacceptable service for the prices they were charging... other patrons were complaining as well so it was not just W We were in this restaurant from 11:00 AM UNTIL 1:15 pm and never received all our food. Manager apologized and we did not pay for the few items we received..... THIS WAS SO DISHEARTENING, ON MOTHERS DAY WITH AN EMPTY RESTAURANT Never going black again, if the kitchen is too small to handle serving a restaurant of that size they shouldn't even be in business I would leave zero stars if I could, but I'll leave one star because the manager handled the situation calmly and did the right thing by not charging us read more

Loved the service, the happy hour had a ton of food and beverage options at varying price points. We started off with 2 shots of Lo Tequila not on HH, with and glasses half rim with salt with lime, next a couple of Moscow mules in copper tin mugs, ordered the Bavarian pretzel with warm gooey cheese and cold stone mustard, the bourbon glazed chicken wings w/ ranch, the truffle steak fries that were crispy and we ate them all plus two items from main menu, goat cheese salad and the Cali flat bread. Definitely didn't photograph everything but this picture sums up our visit read more

This review is solely for their 'private parking' which is a dirt lot. There is only one sign that is pretty easy to miss. There should be more signage that is visible from more than one angle. Walking up to our car with a ticket was the cherry on top for a great family day in Old Town. Editing to add that the owners were able to help us clear things up. read more

It's a great place! Love the food and drinks! Great happy hour! Good service! I would go there again.

Great place! We were just there for a friend's birthday and they were amazing! Considering how many of us there were Maddie was amazing. I will definitely be going back. Music was great, place was perfect and the food was great. read more

Crush and Brew absolutely knocked it out of the park! We had a very large party of 30+ people to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked in, Erinn was there to help us set up the dessert bar and make sure all of our needs were met. Maddie was our server for the evening and was so accommodating! She checked on us frequently, kept up with the demand of our group and her other tables- all with the most pleasant disposition. The food was served promptly and was delicious. Drinks were served quickly and everyone had such a great time! The live music was a HUGE hit! Well done Crush and Brew! The hospitality and atmosphere will keep us coming back. Thank you for an EXCELLENT experience! read more

Sunday night reservations and fun! Meet up with some friends and wanted to try this place out! Fun drinks and tried a couple dishes to share. Then went into the speakeasy after Place is easy to fun right on Main Street. Parking can be hard when it's busy. read more

I usually come up to Crush and Brew for their happy hour. Their staff is always very friendly and easy to talk to. Plus they have a great happy hour from 4-7pm. Tonight, I asked for a flatbread pizza which under happy hour is $9 vs. the usual $20. They ran out of the flatbread but instead put it on focaccia bread. It was actually delicious! I hope that they do this more often! read more

The service and staff here were amazing!! Joey, and Cody were so amazing- we will come back to see them!!

Service is friendly, but other than that food is very average and ambiance leaves little to be desired.

We were waiting for our meal, about 20 min now. Oh, BTW there was only one other table eating in the whole place. Anyway, I simply asked it was taking a long time?? The guy smarted off and said "this isn't Mc Donald's!" Your food is cooked to order!! Needless to say we left!! read more

After a long day of viewing nee builds in the area. We stumbled upon this cute restaurant in Old Town Temecula. We were able to find parking right away on a Sunday afternoon. Joey (I believe that was our server's name), but super sweet and attentive. Since we were visiting the area, we asked him about his experience in Temecula, how he liked the area, and what were some things to do in the area besides wine tasting. He was really kind to chat with us for a bit and let us know there's a speakeasy in the restaurant! He also let us go see if at well even though it wasn't open yet. The speakeasy was very cool and had a great vibe to it despite not having any patrons until 5pm. The food was good - typical burgers, flatbreads, salads, and entrees. I think what really stood out were their drinks. They have a great variety of cocktails for everyone and also offered a wine flight. The only negative was my bf's fries came out cold, but they did re-fire another order for us, and apologized. If we're back in town and/or decide to make the move to Temecula, I would come back again. read more

Crush & Brew - Berry Sour - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

Came in on a week night and although the place is spacious and set up nice with decent service, the food severely lacked. Giving three stars is generous as I would not return or recommend, unfortunately. Here's what was ordered: Bacon Poblano Mac: so dense in cheese and sauce it was hard to dig out the actual food. The flavor lacked, like there wasn't a spice or savory taste to it despite the dish's description. The chicken tasted like premade cold cubed chicken tossed in and heated within the dish while cooking. 2/5 stars. California Chicken Flatbread: much better dish than the pasta but you can tell the flatbread is frozen not fresh. Ranch was abundant. Same chicken situation as the Mac. 3/5 stars. Not sure how this restaurant has sustained being on this strip with the low quality of ingredients and details to their menu. read more

Never a dull time at Crush and Brew. I've been stopping into this location since pre COVID. It's nice to see business is booming on weekends. Stopped in on a Sunday evening and took a seat at the bar. We were immediately greeted by the bartender who also provided a menu and drink suggestions. The two drinks we tried were insanely delicious. Soon after we met and had great conversation with the owners. They were very friendly and truly enjoyed the success of their establishment. Great job...can't wait to go back. read more
