Pub Burger
Dee B.

It's been a while since we been here. With so many options out here it's hard to choose ...so we finally stopped by on a random weekday. The service was quick and it happened to be happy hour! Yay! 3-5pm weekday. The food was good I didn't have anything bad to say about the experience. They took care of us. Food was fast. It was a chill date night. The beer was really good. I would go back again. The burger we got was really good. The Pub burger.

Hazy IPA
Melissa V.

We came here on a Thursday right when they opened with a party of 16. The service was great. Dylan was consistently checking in on us and making sure we were good. Food came out quick and everything was good. No complaints. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Definitely will come back!

Organic Salad with Steak, Buffalo Wings and Chicken Chop Salad. All AMAZING!
Ellie Q.

My new GO-TO all week long! I seriously crave this food all week. My favorites so far are the boneless Chicken Wings, OMGosh! They're amazing! Too many exclamations, I know. But they really are that good. Both Buffalo and Chili Garlic are delicious. The salads are all tasty as well as filling. I still need to try the famous mac and cheeses. Everyone there has been so friendly and helpful. The vibe is super rustic cowboy which I love. The outdoor space is inviting with a few fireside tables. See you there!

Steak frittes
Monica R.

Stopped by here on Monday night and it wasn't too busy. We ordered the wings as an appetizer and the steak frittes. The wings were meaty, perfectly crispy and the sauce had a sweet and spicy taste. The steak needed a bit of salt but the butter gave it good flavor. The fries were super crispy and their ranch is delicious. The service was great, our server was very nice and attentive.

My dediec to stop by this brewerys since we had just finished wine-tasting in Temecula. Happy hour ended at 5pm, so the place was dead they should extend their happy hour thru 6, so people can come in after work. We sat on their patio by the fire pit The prices were high, 20$ for a burger and fries. I just ordered some fries for $7, they were delicious and we were able to share and get our fill. We recommend the hard cherry cola seltzer

It's been years since I've been to this establishment, so I decided to give it a try. Greeted by Mason the atmosphere was calm, soothing and comfortable, for some quick bites and a pint during Happy Hour. Ordered the Ahi Tuna Nachos and the Asada Fries. The Ahi Tuna was delicious, chips crispy, and the sauce was a little sweet for my liking but overall it was tasty. The Asada Fries were delicious! Bits of beef, blue cheese crumbles, guacamole, cheese sauce on crispy tortilla chips. My Hazy house IPA was pretty good, and the Pineapple IPA was delicious as well. Only issue was the temperature, I prefer cold beer and it was on the warm side. Great customer service provided by Mason, and I will return. Happy Hour 1500-1700, 7 days a week

Great customer service!
Pinky N.

Our soccer team loves to have at least one team dinner when we travel for tournaments. Karl Strauss Breweries have been our go-to place since they can host large groups and they offer a variety of food. As always, our tables were reserved and service was amazing. We appreciate being able to order by QR code. It helps so much with 20 different families! Thank you so much to the Temecula crew for being so helpful and accommodating.

Fish N Chips with Sweet Potato Fries
Jeremy C.

We came here to celebrate my son's graduation. The service was great. Our server was great, just didn't remember his name, but he said he just came back from working somewhere else. I had the fish n chips with sweet potato fries and they were great, ordered 2 more rounds of sweet potato fries. The food came out in good time. Had the big pretzel as well but did not take a picture of it. The place is nice, have never had a bad experience here. The restaurant/brewery is welcoming. The one thing I have to complain about is that the Golden Stout is only seasonal, which I just found out and disappointed me. The place was quiet that night we went, they have great outdoor seating as well with a fire pit.

Pub burger
Cheri M.

Ordered food to be delivered. It arrived just in time cause we were starving. I ordered the pub burger. Great burger that was made from ground steak. It was a pretty big piece of beef. Loved the chipotle ale mayo that was on it. It also came with lettuce, tomato, onion and Tillamook aged cheddar and fries on the side. The fries were just ok.

The Hard Cherry cola on tap is so good! Lots of other beer on tap as well. The food is delicious. Best Mac in town. If you are a little hungry get the mini mac. Perfect little snack.

Chipotle Pastrami Sandwich
Heber P.

The place is quiet when we came in. We love sitting at the bar. We had the following; Pastrami sandwich 6/10 It's not a traditional one which I knew but they don't have pickles and that's a big thing for me for this kind of sandwich. The bread wasn't my favorite either. Meat was cooked good. Crispy Brussels sprouts 7/10 Lacking a little flavor, it's there but not enough to rage about. Side of the piggy bank Mac n cheese 8/10 it's good just needs to be a little cheesier but would order it again. Service is good as well

Post work dinner and drinks
Miori I.

In town to work an event and was starving at the end of a long work day. Showed up with the team of 7 ready to unwind. We walked over so we didn't have to deal with parking. However, there is a huge plaza lot with plenty of parking so it would not have been a problem. The brewery/restaurant had a good size indoor seating space. Small distinction between bar area and restaurant. The bar area was dimly lit compared to the rest of the restaurant. It was cold and dark when we got there, but I did see people enjoying their string light adorned outdoor space. Service was 5 stars. Our server (now I feel bad for not remembering her name), was awesome. She was attentively, friendly, extremely personable, and had great suggestion. Plus she was knowledgeable on beer... a plus. Drinks: - Our server suggestion so many great beer and kombucha items that made it way too hard to decide. So she instead created a tasting flight which I truly appreciated. Their new IPA was chef's kiss. And I highly recommend their sour and blueberry or hibiscus kombucha. We even purchased cans to take home. Our food: - Ahi poke nachos (A+..and this coming from a person who doesn't really like fish) big chunks of fish, tasty seasoning, not too saucy, chips not stale..yay - Mac on Tap. cheesy, crunchy, great for sharing - Crispy Brussels Sprouts. so so good. Almost wanted to order a second. The brussels were indeed crispy but not burnt so the flavor of the vegetable wasn't ruined. cheese shavings and bacon crisps on the side were a good move. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and frites which he loved. I snacked on his veggies and had a couple bites of steak but I was full from the yummy appetizers that we shared. There is a Karl Strauss location not too far from my home so I will probably make my way for a date night soon.

Had never been here before thought we would give it a try. Staff was nice and friendly. The food was good. The only thing was is we were sat outside, cause we were told there was no room indoors, even though there was empty tables we were sat in a section with a light had gone out, so it was hard to see the menu or even our food when we left. The empty tables were still empty. Don't understand why we were not allowed to sit inside.

We arrived early on a Friday evening, and thankfully it wasn't crowded. Since they don't take reservations, getting there early is definitely the way to go. We ordered the Dealer's Choice, which was refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.

I had never been a sweet potato fry person until I tried there's with their peri mayo and I'm OBSESSED. Their focaccia bread with their signature dip is so good too. I think it's some kind of blended olive oil / vinegar mixture and it's so so so good. I've had their tri tip before which was good but my go to is their BBQ Chicken Plate. The chicken is cooked to perfection and I can mix and match my sides to my liking. I can always count on getting a great and healthy meal when ordering from here. I ordered through DoorDash and my food still arrived perfectly. 10/10!!!

We stopped for dinner and the did not appear busy. There was plenty of free parking available in the shopping center and indoor/outdoor seating. It was very windy and too cold to eat outside, so we opted to eat inside. There were only four tables to choose from and one bathroom. This became an issue when someone was already using the bathroom, probably blowing it up since it had already been five plus minutes, and both of my kids had to go (we ended up going to Trader Joe's to use the bathroom). The food finally came out. We ordered 2 tri-tip plates, a chicken sandwich, a kids quesadilla w/rice, and 4 drinks. I was concerned about the tri-tip after reading many others complaining about it being overcooked. This was not an issue. The meat came out cooked perfectly, but the pieces were small. The mashed potatoes were good and buttery. The mac & cheese was good and had a nice flavor. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked, hard, and bland. The bread had soaked up the blood from the tri-tip and was soggy gross. The kids quesadilla was literally 2 store bought tortillas and some sprinkled cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted in between. I didn't care for it, but I'm glad my son ate it. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and it was lacking.

We ordered our food, and it took another 45 minutes before we asked how much longer it would take for our food to come out. Our food came out staggered. The fish and chips weren't cooked all the way, the crane asada fries lacked flavor, and the fish tacos weren't cooked all the way. We never saw a waiter again. I had to find the manager to get our bill, and he said they were short-handed, but that's still no excuse for poor service. Also, the entertainment was like a bad karaoke night with no change in singers. Overall, I was very disappointed because I really liked this place before. I doubt I will be back.

I hope they continue to hire him to play live music because he was the highlight of the evening. The food was mediocre at best. The poke was not very good, the pieces of tune were huge and there was like 5 big cubes of it that were seasoned strangely. They put what tasted like a sweet eel sauce or a balsamic glaze on top which ruined the flavor of the whole thing and is not a usual poke flavor. I had a few bites and gave up. Then I ordered the fish tacos and those were ok, and not bad honestly. Just very heavy handed with the sour cream on top which kind of ruined it otherwise they would have been great. The drinks were awful. We tried 3 and all of them were bitter and not very tasty. I took one sip of the "spritz me up" and sent it back for a different drink instead. The service was OK. I feel like we could have been checked on more and I waited 15min after my first sip of that drink to replace it with another one and then waited another 10min for the replacement for almost half an hour of waiting for a drink that was drinkable. Then we asked for a printed receipt and she just clocked out and never gave us one. The ambiance was fine and like I said, Jon Dutch made the evening worth it. Otherwise I would not come back unless he was here providing entertainment. If I come again, I'll try all new things as I wasn't impressed with anything I ordered this first time I tried the place.
