Great breakfast Bloody Mary! Here from out of town and found this great dive bar! We will be back!

Coors light

Bartender was very sweet. It's a dive bar, everyone is very nice. He ordered a coors light. This place may be small, but it gets packed out. Stop by and grab a drink and a game of pool. Cool ambiance.

The BEST whiskey sour! Thank you Matt!

We love this place! Pool tables, awesome drinks, neon lights, and a service team who are like family. It's everything you want in a local bar, sitting right in the heart of Murrieta. Karaoke nights leave you with memories that'll last a lifetime. We'll definitely be returning. You can't turn down a Joannie's invite!

Pool on a Saturday afternoon is great fun.

I'm still coming here after 15 years and love it every time. The bartenders are awesome, and the local owners have made it even better. Patrons are great, and even though I'm an old grumpy bastard surrounded by a diverse age group, it always feels like home.

Oh my gosh was this place great! Super packed and busy make sure to make a reservation! We booked a…read morelast minute reservation for dinner and they were able to get us in, as it seemed like the nicest restaurant in the proximity to our Airbnb. Service was phenomenal the entire time they even gave us a private room unknowingly that we were there celebrating my bachelorette party. We were super happy, the area was cozy and private, perfect for our small group. They offer a bunch of different options on espresso martinis, you can custom different liquors and flavors. We all tried different combinations and they were all wonderful. Onto the food, we were blown away! Couldn't believe that finding this place last minute gave us such an incredible experience. The food was top notch and delicious. The Mac and cheese was soooo creamy and flavorful. The steak was cooked perfect and they have several dipping sauces to choose from. The salmon was a hit and the risotto went really well with it. I wouldn't be surprised if this place had a Michelin star, it was THAT GOOD. We were frequently checked up on and had a wonderful last night experience on our vacation. This is the kinda spot that looks like a hole in the wall in a strip mall but it's a hidden gem!!

Chef Mario always kills it--he's talented, kind, and so easy to chat with. The owner, Dylan, is also fantastic, making the whole experience welcoming and enjoyable. Whether you're coming for the food, the vibes, or just a great night out, Savage Chef Bar and Grill delivers on every level. Highly recommend!

I just wanted to share how amazing our experience was thanks to our server, Payton. From the moment…read morewe sat down, Payton made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The energy was warm, attentive, and genuine, the kind of service that instantly makes your whole meal better. Payton checked on our party of 8 at the perfect moments, made great recommendations, and always had a smile on her face. It's rare to find someone who is both professional and personable, but Payton balanced both effortlessly. Our food was great, but Payton is truly what made our visit special. If you're thinking about dining here, ask for Payton. You won't be disappointed! Also huge shout out to the host Avery. I called asking for our servers name so I can leave a review, she expressed she wasn't part of the morning crew but still took the time to help me figure out who our server was from a shift she wasn't even part of. That level of kindness and effort is rare and so appreciated.

The restaurant is spacious with a cozy atmosphere. I loved the walls adorned with open books and the floral wallpaper. We came to celebrate our anniversary and made a reservation online. Our waitress was proactive and let us know they were out of a couple menu items right as she handed the menu. The drinks were great, and the flavors of the 'Fried Chicken & Curry' were on point. However, the chicken itself was very dry and hard, and the portions were quite small for the price. One disappointment: there was no acknowledgement or special gesture from the staff even though we noted the occasion in our reservation. I'd definitely come back for drinks at the bar, but I'll likely skip it for dinner.
