Swing Inn Cafe is one of our favorites for breakfast. Located right in the heart of Old Town…read moreTemecula, it is a must-visit. My experience has been with their wonderful breakfast menu, and one of my favorites is the French toast. However, some of my friends swear by their giant cinnamon bun -- it's a must-try! They have a wide variety of breakfast combos and omelets with options for both vegetarians and meat lovers. The service has always been quick and friendly, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is also dog-friendly, which is always a plus! Swing Inn is also known for its award-winning BBQ and has been family-owned and operated since 1927. I'm looking forward to visiting again for lunch or dinner and trying some of their BBQ specials. If you're looking for that classic American diner experience while visiting Old Town Temecula, Swing Inn Cafe is definitely worth a stop!

Staff is always super friendly and the folks who walk to floor are always nice and helpful. The restaurant is clean, open and welcoming too. I wish a location would open up north! Please don't forget about us, I'd love one here! I'll continue coming to Phil's every single time.

Phil's is a must stop anytime I'm in the area since they're not in LA! My favorite is getting the…read morebest of both worlds with the quarter chicken and ribs with fries and coleslaw. It's definitely enough food for 2 people! The service is really great at this location. I appreciate that they came by to ask if we needed more bbq or ranch! I also like this location because it's not as crazy busy as some of the other locations. It's very similar layout and process compared to the other locations where you order at the counter then find a place to sit. Overall, highly recommend Phil's! It's such a San Diego area classic.

The only beef they have is the smoked brisket. This is in the food hall in vail ranch hq so they have nice bench seatings and its very open. Being in here makes me feel like a lazy morning. This is a real chill vibe. The guy who took my order was nice and patient waiting for me to decide.

First visit we ordered brisket and pulled pork. Brisket was good; not great. Pulled pork was…read moreokay; a little dry. Smoke flavor in both was okay. Went there for the ribs but was told they don't have them until 1:30pm due to the cooking process. No problem. The explanation made sense. I'll come back at 1:30 on another day. Have been there twice since. Both times at 1:30pm; both times a "sold out" label over the ribs on the menu. No one in line; no one that worked there at the counter. Today I waited to at least ask if I could pre order ribs since they seem to have been sold out my last two visits. I waited for a few minutes. The two people in the back didn't seem interested to come to the counter, so I went to the restaurant next door to buy tacos. Tacos were great! ;) 3 stars for the brisket.

Could stand alone as a meal, I can see why the cowboys would have this on their trips . Potato salad - just like mom used to make. Mayo, not sweet salad dressing. Just the right proportions of ingredients, made well, mixed well, and delicious. Baby Back Ribs - some of the meatiest we've ever had, fall off the bone tender, delicious smoky taste. The sauce should be patented, it's that good. Large portion left plenty for leftovers the next day. Beef Ribs - HUGE meaty ribs, perfectly cooked, and serves with that same sauce. This place is awesome because it's the perfect blend of smoke, seasoning and sauce. Don't wait any longer, get over here and eat!

Our server at the bar today was excellent! Thank you for being so proactive and service oriented…read more We came in on Sunday afternoon for Happy Hour - such great deals! It was not busy at all so that was nice for us. We also had the $24 off $100 coupon so we wanted to bring some food home, as well. We started with several appetizers and the caddy margarita and the new watermelon margarita. Great drinks and great prices, its $9 for the caddy marg and its delish. The nachos are our go to as well as the burnt ends and the nashville hot chicken. I'll say it again, the Temecula location food is soooo much better than the Lake Forest location. The food is better quality, better tasting and just better presentation. Bar area is great - its roomy and there's plenty of t.v.'s to watch the football games. Can't go wrong at this location, esp since its close to the mall.

We came here tonight for the first time and wanted to try it as an alternative to Phils. I'll start…read morewith saying our server was great and the service overall was good, but he food was okay - better than Phils, but nothing crazy good. Mac and cheese (2/5) - the pasta was really overcooked and the cheese was a little soupy. The flavor was good though and my kids enjoyed it. Beans (2/5) - okay flavor, nothing special. Fried okra (3/5) - crispy, good taste. Idk if I would pay extra for it as a "premium" side on my next trip. Fries (2/5) - we ordered these mostly for the kids. Not bad but not great, just regular french fries. Brisket (3/5) - tasted good and was tender. Overcooked for my taste but not bad overall. Baby back ribs (0/5) - super disappointing. They were overcooked, dry, and had a fishy taste to them. St Louis style ribs (?/5) - I can't remember if I liked them or not. I'm guessing they weren't remarkable. BBQ chicken (4/5) - the best thing we ate. The chicken had a great flavor and was super juicy. Usually I'm not crazy about chicken at BBQ joints but this was the exception. I would come back here just to order the chicken. Beginets (2/5) - a little soggy but tasted good. Probably needed to be fried in hotter oil or drained a little better. Banana Pudding (4/5) - excellent. I would have eaten 2 of these if I could. Next time I'm craving BBQ, I'll probably try another place in the area before returning here. It's not bad for a chain BBQ place though.

3.5 stars! We came…read morehere during the Greek Festival. It was dead. When we first came, we were the only people in the place. First, let me say that the service was great. She was attentive without being overbearing all while she was training someone new. The food was decent. I wouldn't say anything special. I got the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. My husband got the tri tip sandwich with onion rings. Apparently the onion rings were $3 extra charge and there was only 7 on the plate. Not impressed. We also got a beer and a Michelada. My husband asked for more michelada mix because it looked like they only out a drop in there. The bill came out to $90 and I don't think the food was worth that much honestly. I'd be back, but mostly for beers. Bonus points for the reusable Ball cups!

Took until 12:40 to get our drinks, so 25 minutes just to get a draft beer. The food was decent, my husband and daughter got wings and really liked them. I tried the flatbread it was just okay. Turns out there was only one server even though 4 other people were running around. Nobody said anything about this until they delivered the drinks. Would have been a different experience if they told us from the work go that it would be a long wait as there is only one server to give us the option of going somewhere else. Might be worth another try.

First time trying AYCE over a grill like this and you can definitely taste the difference! I…read moreenjoyed the flavor and the flame being so huge does add that smokey taste! Yum! The servers were attentive and I do think this place has really good reviews because of the owner. You can tell he loves what he does with the small gimmicks and party tricks that he does. (Flame show, light show, music, dance parties, etc.) I'm not from the area but I can see how this place is very popular! You can only seat around 10 parties, so space is quite limited and the wait would be fairly long if you come at the peak of lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking and a nice plaza. I would come again! It definitely a place for parties of 4-6!

Surprisingly good Korean BBQ spot in Temecula. Came here with my date to get some protein in us…read morewith some pretty good cuts of beef, pork belly, and lots of choices with the ban chans. It's an incredibly busy place, but depending on when you come in, you'll get seated fairly quickly. The seats are pretty comfortable, at least in the booth seats. The noise level is at a very high decibel most of the time, as there's lots of families, kids, groups, couples, and more. If you're looking for a quiet place to dine, do not come here lol. But do come here for the BBQ! Restrooms were fairly clean also. There's plenty of parking around the lot, but again, the restaurant does get pretty packed.
