I was able to try this wonderful establishment for a friend's surprise birthday party, The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good and the food was great. Everything tastes fresh for a buffet party style. They didn't let food just sit, they would put just enough out to not get cold and the steaks were cooked tender and juicy. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't live close by, I would go there again. So if you're ever in the area, give them a try and enjoy!!! read more

We were so thankful to Luke's for letting a group of 8 people be sat on a busy Saturday night after another recreation fell through. The service and atmosphere was amazing - I loved the music and just vibe! The rooftop is so cool and would be a fun day drinking spot. The food was just ok - but we were allll so excited to eat. read more

I'll start with our server smiled and greeted us nicely. After that, it's down hill No. I won't go there again No. I won't take my husband. I was the reconnaissance for this restaurant No. I won't recommend this place to friends. The lemon for our water was so old it was slimy. The server replaced them My friend had wood in her macaroni and cheese dish. I got, "I'll tell the chef." Both of our flatware was wrapped in filthy, used, unwashed, cloth napkins. So gross. So, no. I do not recommend. It gets 2 stars because the hostess was pleasant and the server wasn't surly. read more

Food was real good especially Mac and cheese. . Service was real bad. We only saw our waitress once. We were done eating and it took almost 30min before anyone came. That's why I gave a low score. Ambiance was nice. Thanks but no thanks read more

The view is amazing from the outdoor patio. Will have to come to try the food. There weren't any special cocktails - just your typical stuff. read more

Luke's On Front - View from the rooftop - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

What a great experience at Luke's tonight! Great view of Old town Temecula from the rooftop, amazing service by Tyler and don't get me started on the food. Everything was absolutely delicious! We decided to pick different items from the apps menu And they did not disappoint . Must try the empanadas, ceviche, beer battered jalapeños and the Twisted mac and cheese is a must. We ended our meal with the crème brulee which was delicious. read more

Great service! Staff was awesome! Food was delicious. Tyler did an awesome job taking care of our table. Kudos to the staff. Definitely coming back!! read more

A place where nomads feel known! This being our first time in Temecula, we did not know what to expect. Like's semi rustic aesthetic was warm and inviting. Even on a night with a wedding party, corporate function, and a birthday party, we felt at home due to the friendly and responsive staff. It took awhile to seat us due to the larger groups, but that gave us a chance to connect with the exceptional bar tenders; all knowledgeable, witty, and thorough. The only spot I'm told with a great view, it provided a great backdrop while sipping. But the food was the star of the show. Very well prepared and plated, I wanted to thank the chef! A little pricey, but definitely a delicious gem. We'll be back on payday!!!! read more

Service was fantastic-from lady that had a madison tattoo. Reviewed meals with us, food delicious, amazing services

My wife, daughter, and I came to Lukes for an early dinner after a movie. We ordered the fried mushrooms, chicken wrap, and best of all the wham bam burger which was fantastic. My daughter who is 6 ordered the kids hamburger and fries which looked really good as well. Also if you're thank you into garlic fries they are really great too. Service was excellent Tyler made sure we were well taken care of. We will be back again Soon! read more

Tyler was an amazing server. He recommended the Wham bam thank you Jam burger and it was crazy good. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area! The ambiance was so relaxing out on the patio! read more

If you want the best seat in Old Town, this is it. Luke's on Front is tucked away on the third floor (look for the elevator on the side of the building!), and the rooftop views of Front Street are unmatched--especially at sunset. I tried the **Wham Bam Thank You Jam Burger, and the red pepper jelly was a game-changer. It's the perfect mix of upscale American fusion and a relaxed lounge vibe. Whether you're here for a date or just drinks by the fire pit, it never misses. Pro tip: They have a great local wine list!" read more

This was my first time here and I plan for it to be my last... The restaurant looked nice: they had garage door style openings to the outside balcony with areas to eat outdoors while overlooking the street. The dish I chose was just okay, it was some sort of chicken dish that was breaded and put on a bed of mashed potatoes. The drinks were decent as well. I did think the wings and steak were good. I think the part that upset me the most was the service I, specifically me, received. I don't think anyone else at my table noticed it, but I was being slighted the whole time. The waitress came by and asked the table if they wanted refills on water. As I was seated on the inside of the booth, I turned to pick up my empty cup so she wouldn't have to reach across the table, but by the time I turned to hand her my cup, she was gone. She made sure to ask everyone if they wanted water and fill everyone's cup except mine. She returned to the table and asked different people if they wanted another alcoholic beverage on multiple occasions, but would always leave before asking me and before I could speak up since she always addressed the others at the table before me. My boyfriend and I were eating with another couple and before they arrived we made sure to ask the waitress to spilt the check by couple. So when we got the check, what didn't make sense to me was that we ordered two appetizers for the table but she put BOTH appetizers on my bill PLUS the other couple asked for more bread for one of the apps and she put that charge on my bill too! I didn't want to make a big deal in front of the other couple so I just paid the bill, but I definitely feel like (after all the other slights I felt during that service) that it was done on purpose. I also don't think it's a coincidence that I was the only very obviously non-white person at the table and was slighted so much. Because of that feeling, I have no intention of returning to a place that made me feel unwelcome. Granted, yes it was one person, but she was my only point of contact and the only representative of this business that I interacted with. It could've just been her but it could also be the whole establishment. And yes, the treatment could've been much worse. The thing is that I don't know and I'm not wanting to spend any more money here to find out when there are so many other businesses where the thought of them being racist or being rude to me on purpose never even crosses my mind. The fact that it has in regards to this restaurant experience is enough for me. I gotta trust my gut. read more

The food is fabulous. The only thing better than the food is the service. The owner takes time to greet her guests and make sure that everything is going well. Highly recommended. read more

First time here sooo good second time....no, burger was not the same won't be back we were both very disappointed

The food was super good, service especially Tyler was great and attentive while also giving time to enjoy without distractions!

Luke's is such a hidden gem. The food is crazy good. It feels like a beach location with the open air concept and beautiful views.

This place was sooo sooo good. I swear it was like 5 star high end restaurant tasting food. The pasta was simple but amazing. Not too heavy it was just right. The brussel sprouts were the best I have EVER had. That syrup on it is soooo sticky and to die for!! Bruschetta was amazing as well and everyone loved their food!! I think outside during the day in the summer would be so nice on the balcony! It's not the fanciest looking restaurant but it's chill and vibey. Service was amazing. Our server Kaitlynn was sooooo sweet!!!! She was so nice and really fun to chat with. Overall I highly recommend this place! Overall such a great time with AMAZING food and drinks!! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to Luke's on Front. The rooftop setting is a great spot to relax and enjoy the view while having a drink. They had a good selection of tap beers, which was nice, and everything we tried was solid. The mac and cheese was definitely a highlight--super flavorful and comforting. The atmosphere is laid back and it's a great place to hang out with friends, especially in the evening. I'd definitely come back again. read more

The food was amazing (I had the seafood pasta and cool hand Luke) and the service was even better, Tyler, the waiter led us to the fire place outside and brought an extra heater to make sure we were warm enough.

Went on a Saturday for lunch. It was a really hot day so it wasn't too crowded. Hostess sat us and took about 15 min before the server came to acknowledge us and this was only because we asked the hostess for our server. Apparently our server was also the bartender and although it wasn't busy at the bar, she only checked on us a couple of times. I had to go to the bar for a refill on my water since the server never returned. After asking for our bill and the server not returning with it, we ended up going to the bar to pay. Service was so-so and could have been better since it wasn't busy. The food was very good. The serving size is very generous. You won't leave hungry. read more

I enjoy dining in Temecula and decided to give Luke's a try. I'd heard good things about it and my husband and I decided it would be a great spot for our weekly date night. We were greeted and seated immediately. We opted for a seat inside because it was hot, but in retrospect, I would have chosen to eat outside for the view (the restaurant is on the 4th floor of a building in Downtown Temecula). We started with calamari. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. My husband ordered fish and. Hips. Again, not anything exciting. They did give him an enormous amount of fries, but the portion of fish was small. It wasn't greasy, which was the part about the fish. I ordered the seafood pasta. It was bland, and although the seafood was varied, it wasn't worth the $48 I paid for it. I've had better at chain restaurants! (I took photos of everything after we started eating, so imagine everything with 1-2 additional bites. I missed a photo of the fish and chips) The best part of our meal was the Caramel Cheesecake! Smooth, creamy, and downright DELICIOUS!! I'd give it a 9/10! The ambiance was ok. They were hanging a barn door during our visit (8/9/25), as they were hosting an engagement party, which resulted in us having to hear the drill in the background throughout our meal. I'm not in a hurry to return, although I may give them another try in the future. read more

Another Temecula restaurant that has no business charging LA prices (and a reminder of why we're selling our house and getting out of here). The service was solid; that's the one plus here. The rest, not so much. The building is old, fair enough, but the restaurant is run down and the decor is tacky. The menus are out of date and loom like they've been sitting in the sun for ten years. You can't afford new menus at these prices? There was no bread offered. All three of us ordered steak, medium, and we all got medium well. The vegetables were pathetic; my baby carrots were crunchy and the broccoli was limp. There was no seasoning to be found on either. Super let down. For $250 (mind you the three of us only ordered soft drinks), next time we will make the drive to OC/SD/LA. I love to spend my money locally but never again. read more

This location has an amazing view of oldtown, but the food is mediocre for the prices they charge. If you just want to grab a cocktail during happy hour this would be a nice location to do so & then head somewhere else for dinner in oldtown (lots of other options within walking distance). read more

Food is so good! Tyler is a great server and helped us make the best out of our experience!

Went to Luke's for a bridal shower and after went into the bar area. What a great spot. The food at the party was delicious, with bottomless mimosas. The service in the private room and at the bar was great and friendly. We are going back, soon!! read more

Tylor was an amazing server, very kind and accommodating. Took the time & he was a great server. Thank you, Tylor!

Everything went well! Tylor is awesome and the best server ever! We had such a blast. Thank you!

Edit: hello Kelly I'm disappointed by both the tone and content of your message.More concerning is the unprofessional nature of your response. Repeated "lol" comments, defensiveness, and implying fault on the customer is not appropriate for a business owner especially in a public-facing exchange. If the intent was to resolve the issue, this message did the opposite.shared my experience honestly, as customers are entitled to do. While I understand things can go wrong during busy events, how a business responds afterward matters just as much. Unfortunately, this response reinforces my original concerns rather than resolving them. There's and extra star added for the quick but unprofessional response "lol" We had walked 30 mins until we were notified they were out of the items we ordered. Once all the food we've we were notified again they didn't have rice the manager thought 2 plates of risotto for the price of rice was a good fix lol ridiculous. read more
