Their brisket plate is unreal--juicy, slow-smoked brisket with a peppery rub, drizzled with tangy house-made BBQ sauce, and paired with creamy coleslaw. Pure smoky perfection in every bite! The staff are super friendly and they recommended a killer IPA that took my meal to the next level. Totally chill vibe where the whole family is welcome.

The meat was tender and they were smoked well. Sides were good too. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

I LOVE me some Phil's BBQ!!! Been a fan for years!…read more I used to drive all the way from Palm Springs to San Diego just to get my fix at least once a year before I made the move to Los Angeles So when I found out they opened a location in Temecula, you already know I had to pull up for some ribs!!! Service was great, and the food was finger-licking GOOD I'm honestly shocked if I ever have leftovers! It's always a great time at Phil's never disappoints Just a heads up: make sure you give yourself plenty of time because it's ALWAYS busy! Expect lines out the door, but trust me... it's worth it

I've been going Phils in SD for the last 10 years and saw there was a location in Temecula so went…read morehere since I was in the area. The barbecue was still tasty but the onion rings were super disappointing. Literally the opposite of what it used to be. Bready, doughy, and not good. Also the water tasted weird like they haven't changed their ice machine in a long time. Maybe it's this location or their quality control went down overall but probably the last time I'll be at Phil's.

We had dinner at Swing Inn cafe & BBQ in Temecula and it went beyond and exceeded our…read moreexpectations--hands down the best BBQ we've ever had. Our server Andy--who is also the manager--took amazing care of us from start to finish. The service was friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. Andy recommended the sausages as an appetizer, and let me tell you... we're still talking about how delicious they were. And the BBQ was even better: the brisket and burnt ends were incredibly tender--soft and practically falling apart, with tons of flavor. Big thank you to Andy for the great service and for making the trip totally worth it. We'll definitely be back!

Came here last Sunday for lunch and really wanted to like this place, especially since it's hard to…read morefind truly great BBQ in California. I ordered the 2-meat combo platter with brisket and pork ribs, plus mac and cheese and beans. Unfortunately, the food was pretty underwhelming for the price. The brisket arrived dry and slightly oxidized-looking, with only two slices included. The ribs were overdone and mostly from the cartilage-heavy end of the rack. Flavor overall was decent, but nowhere near memorable. The mac and cheese was bland, the beans were okay, and even the pickles had an odd chemical taste to them. The service was genuinely great, which was the highlight of the experience, but at around $48 for the combo plate, the food quality just didn't justify the cost. For comparison, Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano is in an entirely different league when it comes to quality and execution. This place felt much more geared toward tourists than serious BBQ fans.

We got three appetizers: fried pickles 8 out of 10; brisket Mac and cheese. 9 out of 10 but the portion is not worth the price.

We were greeted promptly upon entering and were seated right away in the bar area in a booth. Our server was nice, but lacked som initiative to refill our drinks. We ordered the 3 meat platter which included our choice of 3 meats, 2 sides, and 2 biscuits. For our meat we selected: - pork belly burnt ends - beef brisket - pulled pork The bbq was good, only complaint is it was served luke warm and therefore it got cold rather quickly. For our sides we had the Mac n Cheese and mashed potatoes. The Mac n Cheese tasted like boxed and not fresh so not our favorite. The biscuits were also luke warm and a bit hard. Not sure if their food sits for a while before it's served or not properly warmed as everything was served luke warm.

My experience with the pulled pork, that day, to me, was a bit dry. I'm not sure if the norm is to serve bread slices vs. rolls, but it wasn't my personal preference. I didn't care for the BBQ Sauce, not sure if it was an in-house recipe or "store bought", it just wasn't my personal flavor profiles. My boys liked the mac-n-cheese, I did not. Not a fan of pepper in mine (assuming that was pepper). Potato salad..potatoes were tender, which I really like but not my style of potatoe salad. Customer Service was outstanding, attentive, etc. I'm still on the fence whether this merits the cost but I think I'd go back for the Brisket alone and I'd love to try the ribs, since they had ran out when we visited.

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!

The sliders were decent but did not live up to the price in either taster or portion. The baked beans lacked flavor and seemed watered down. Speaking of watered down, the fountain drinks were definitely watered down... with some remnants of possible hops or some other type of aftertaste. The service was okay because the gentleman working seemed nice but he appeared to be the only waiter in the whole place and was definitely overwhelmed. The place was wide open and pretty much all outdoors so it's cool for a bar but not great for a dinner date. All of this gave me the impression Steinerhaus would be better suited as a bar serving bar food. If those are your expectations you'll probably be okay. If you're looking for a great bbq place to have a date night, this ain't it.
