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.

The best we've had in a long time! We sampled a little of everything to get the full experience…read more Brisket Baked Beans - thick, rich and hearty! 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!

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.

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!

Some of the food is good. The ambiance is clean and…read morecomfortable. The service is HORRIBLE (ALL CAPS)! The attitudes and demeanors of the staff give "Breaking Bad" a whole new meaning. For some reason the staff treats you like this is the only Cafe and BBQ spot, in our area, to choose from. Or perhaps they feel their subpar attitudes will go unnoticed because of the owner's affiliation with a show that ENDED 13 years ago! Whatever the root causes of their nasty dispositions need to be corrected because some of the food is good but not great.

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.

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.

Shoutout to Miss Piggy for greeting us so warmly on a hot day out front! I heard from somewhere…read morethat our work team was invited for a team lunch by her. We had 9 people and there were no issues. Very welcoming and friendly staff. The best items there would be the Brisket, and the Cornbread! These were some of our favorites: - Brisket Sandwich - Brisket Entree (Mac and Cheese + Garlic Mash) - Apple Bread Pudding - Corn Bread Most tender brisket I've had! I'd recommend their original BBQ and Spicy BBQ sauce. Highly recommend this spot! Almost want to make this a regular spot for our team lunches. Maybe if Miss Piggy hooks us up with extra corn bread.
