Been wanting to try the Friday Rib deal. Unfortunately they don't serve Ribs when they have the Rod Run as well the Christmas Parade. It would be nice if this was posted at the door or even on their site. Went as a group and was disappointed once we were ready to order. I then decided on a burger. The Bun was good the burger wasn't as big as I would have wished. Service was actually slow and wasn't busy for the cruise as we were there early about 345 and cruise started at 5. Would I come back maybe and that's to try the ribs but not in a rush read more

We ordered the Wagyu burger and their malt milkshake both were so good. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and that milkshake... rich, creamy, and exactly what you want with a burger. Also had the happy hour $5 margarita. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. Mikayla was AMAZING super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. read more

How many ways can we say, YUM!!!! we had a friend refer us to mad Madeleine's Grill for burgers. Let me tell you they do not disappoint. First of all. It's a delicious char, broiled thick burger on a brioche bun. I had an entire almost an entire avocado on mine. It was out of this world with the waffle style, sweet potato fries. Stop it!!!! I can't even- it was so delicious. I can see why people rave about this. They do not have an indoor seating however it's enclosed for the most part with heaters fans if you need it very dog friendly great music playing, the waitress was so incredibly friendly and sweet. She told us they had a few awards for The Best burger and we clearly can see why. We will definitely be back. Loosen up your pants people! read more

went to Mad Madeline's had a sign at the door. Please wait here. Waited for 10 minutes. No customer service at all. Took pictures. Waited open that they would see me. Party of 10 with me we were talking, hoping they would hear us two women in the back talking but never came out to help us right next-door to Texas Lyles enjoy the karaoke and five dollar margaritas. It's too bad. No one came to see us because I heard the burgers are good. read more

Came here on the weekend and it was definitely less busy than many of the restaurants in old town. Very casual and can people watch easily from the tables. The servers were very fast and friendly. Happy hour marg was decent. I ordered a patty melt which has swiss and grilled onions. I dipped it in the ranch because I felt it needed some sauce. Other bites I put mustard on. Very good! Came out piping hot and quickly. Good fries and ranch too. My boyfriend got the 1/2 pound cheeseburger which was really big and tasty. I enjoyed it and would return. read more

Mad Madeline's Grill is a local Temecula burger spot in Old Town that has been open for over 30 years. Old Town is usually flooded w tourists just passing by or visiting the esthetics of the old world charm that Old Town Temecula has to offer. Parking can be difficult but there is a huge parking structure near City Hall that can accommodate a few hundred cars. This place hasn't changed one bit and still looks the same. Service was good, they kept checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. We ordered a half lb Giant cheeseburger and a Jalapeno & Pepper jack burger. All burgers come w fries. I really like the fries... I don't remember them to be natural like this, but they were good... Think In N Out fries, except cut thicker so they were not crispy, but still good. Our burgers were good. We expected the Giant half lb cheeseburger to be much bigger. My Jalapeno Pepper jack burger was great. I was happy that the jalapeños were actually spicy. Everything was good. My only complaint here is the price. We spent $38 on 2 burgers and 2 fries, which is kinda pricey. The overall hype is the experience of eating at this local Temecula icon. read more

Decent burgers located right in the heart of Old Town Temecula. It's got a casual diner vibe. My Patty melt was just okay. Unfortunately the fries came out cold and not very crispy. They had happy hour in the evenings on weekends which was nice and brought the house cocktails down to $5 each. The service was friendly yet not super attentive. read more

If you're craving a real old-school burger spot, Mad Madelines is the place to go! Their traditional burgers are hands down some of the best around, and the fresh cut fries are the perfect side. This is definitely the go to local spot, and for good reason. Never tried any of the other dishes this is my cheat meal Burger spot!!!!!!! Come hungry because the portions are HUGE! And if you somehow still have room after your meal, do yourself a favor and try one of their fresh milkshakes absolutely worth it! read more

It's been quite some time since we last visited Mad Madeline's, and I wish I could say it was just as tasty as the last time. Unfortunately, this visit was a little disappointing. Something seemed a bit off with the burgers, they just didn't have the same flavor we remembered. The zucchini was great, and the cocktail was enjoyable, but I can't say the same about the burger this time around. read more

Service here is great, and has a nice good ol American burger joint feel. I thought the food was comforting and generous with portion sizing. Overall flavors wasn't bad or anything mind blowing. I'd say it was average, maybe it was an off day but the patty in my burger was a bit dry. The fries were great! read more

Mad Madeline's Grill - Bacon Cheese Burger and Fries - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

Mad Madeline is a old-school American diner in the middle of Old Town Temecula, offering comfort fast food options. We went after checking out the weekend Temecula Farmers Market as my partner was famished from all the walking we did. We got seated quickly as there was many seats available. He ordered a classic Cheeseburger with fries that came out in 10 minutes. The fries were pretty good 5/5, hearty, crispy, yet made from genuine potatoes. The burger was alright 2.5/5, the charred flavor and oil overwhelmed the flavors from the patty. I also prefer a more juicy, thicker patty as well. Would I come back? Maybe (?) if I'm desperately hangry? I feel like Old Town has so many other better options nearby for eateries that I'm losing out on opportunities to try elsewhere if I come back to try the food here again. It wasn't for me, but maybe it'll satisfy your craving for the OG diner experience. read more

So far, being seated and the waiter, excellent. If its cold outside, they have heaters to keep ya warm. Wife n me got here Saturday around 5 pm and its busy but not stupid crowded. Ambiance is perfect. Not loud where you cant hear your own table party. Table are clean. Bathrooms have a code so its.not.used by the whole public. I would definitely come back even though I have got my food yet. Stay tuned for the food review. Yes, the waygu burgers we got, definitely delish. Fries taste like In n Out, just thicker. So yes, definitely cone try it. read more

This has all the curb appeal for a great burger experience. Walking down the blvd will take you back to the good ole mining days of wooden buildings and outdoor stair ascending buildings. Perfect view of the old downtown. Long bar seating. After ordering we were ready for some great award winning burgers and sides to blow our minds with juicy beef. Zucchini instead of fries, yes please. Through our stay we were kinda overlooked till our bill was brought over. Not the most mind blowing food experience definitely has the touristy appeal to visit but maybe needing a fresher approach with food. Always room for growth for the time being it's a crowd pleaser. read more

The chicken burger was the most plain thing I have tasted in a long time. The fries came out half cold and soggy sort of like they had been cooked too long ago and have been sitting there waiting to be given to someone. I got there during happy hour and the 5$ adios was worth it and the waiter was nice and fast, but the food was not worth eating read more

Stopped by for something quick, we ordered the Cali ABC to split. This was a great burger, and for me the onion rings stole the show! They were great and not too breaded. There was only 1 server for the whole floor so service was a little slower but wasn't a reason to not come back. The misters were a little much for us but appreciate the effort to cool things down in the heat. Very old school type burger joint. read more

We went here after lunch time and the service was good. It was pretty much empty when we got there so we got our food quick. The food was gooDT! Ribs were falling off the bones and the sauce was good. I will say that you only get a super small amount of baked beans with the ribs. They only serve the ribs on the weekend. The hotdog was cooked well and we enjoyed it along with the Root Beer float. If you're looking for an old fashion hamburger spot stop by when you are in there area. They do get packed on the weekends. read more

I was traveling through Temecula and happened upon this place in Old Town. Was immediately greeted by Caelie with a smile and sit anywhere. She got me a menu and drink quickly. Asked me if I had ever eaten here. When I said no she gave me recommendations. I got a mushroom swiss burger and homemade fries. The burger was huge and a basket full of fries. Both super tasty and fresh. The place is an awesome outdoor place with mister fans to keep heat lower. What a treat of an experience. read more

Waiter would not seat anyone. Waited 10 minutes, place was practically empty, maybe 3 tables eating. He was completely oblivious to anyone waiting to be seated. When he did notice, he still went to do his rounds, rather than let us sit. Awful. What happen to the service at this place? We waited another 5 min and left. read more

We stopped in for brunch while visiting Temecula and weren't disappointed. The restaurant is right off historic route 395 with plenty of parking, which was convenient. The restaurant was bustling and has casual vibe with outdoor seating and pet friendly. How let's talk about the heart and soul of Mad Madeline's Grill, the food. I had the good morning burger with sweat potato fries. This burger was a masterpiece with perfect blends of textures and flavors that transported my tastebuds to various levels. The staff here are warm, welcoming, and have great knowledge of the menu, which elevated our dinning experience. In conclusion, Mad Madeline's Grill is an iconic gem that goes beyond just being a restaurant but an experience. It succeeded our expectations by not only satisfying our palates but provided an impressive dinning experience that has inspired a return. We'll definitely be back when in the area! read more

Waitress had an absolutely horrible attitude!! Simply asked why the pricing was diffetent online. She asked where and we told her Yelp & Google. She proceeded to try and shove her phone in my face to show me their website. She said that they had no wine for over a month! Well update your info then! Beyond RUDE!!! After more back talk we walked out! All she had to do is say sorry and I will mention it to management to update there changes but nope just wanted to shove her phone in my face!! read more

Today was our first time here eventhough we've lived in the area for 22 years. I'm so mad I missed out on these burgers for so long! They are so good!!

The wait was rather long. We arrived before 6pm, and we didn't receive our food until about 6:40. Personally, it's a little too long of a wait for me. The restaurant has limited parking. The inside was clean, one bathroom which is clean and neat. Patio setting with covered plastic windows. Not sure why the wait was so long. Don't come if you're really hungry. If you stop by be prepared to wait awhile. Can't really comment on the staff because we only talked to them twice, they were doing their jobs it's not their fault they're understaffed. My chili cheese fries cheese looks like it came straight out of the sharp cheddar bags at the grocery store lol read more

Got into Temecula early for a concert at the Temecula performing arts center. I have stopped at MMG a couple times before and have always been consistently good. I wanted something filling but not too heavy. I ordered a buffalo burger with fries, haven't had one in awhile. It was cooked to perfection. I've never cooked buffalo, some day! Any way the burger was juicy and tender. The condiments were fresh. I've payed more than what they charged (at other restaurants) and was not worth it, MMGs was perfect (great value) Their fries, I would rate them high, very high. Fresh potatoes just like the Golden Arches used to do The ambience is the best also, got a seat on the street side. Got to watch the shoppers and bar hoppers. Worth the stop at downtown Temecula read more

This isn't one of the first places i would choose to eat, when going to Old Town Temecula. The outside seating isn't that too inviting. The menu is ehh, if you want a overpriced hot dog with a semi toasted bun sure. The rest of the items on the menu aren't too appetizing either. There are a lot of other places to eat in Old Town Temecula, that are tastier & provide more friendlier service. read more

Tried to go for my birthday, we came an hour and a 50 minutes before closing so more than enough time to eat and leave before they even start cleaning, they told us they only do take out orders from 6:30 and on, the lady telling me wasn't too nice either, I could understand not taking people in when there's only a couple minutes closing or even a half hour before but we were there almost 2 hours before closing and in a sense were denied service, really sucked, wouldn't recommend coming here purely off customer service alone. read more

Honestly the 2.9 Service Rating is generous. Didn't even get to try the food that I was craving since I saw it. The service was absolutely awful, waited 15 minutes then went to the window and was told she was busy making a shake. Maybe if you can support (3) different parties of (2people) maybe close after your lunch rush. Do better for a place that has been open 30 years. read more

After living in Temecula for a few years we finally tried Madelines Grill, if you like overpriced amusement park food this is for you! The burger was overdone, dry and cold! the fries were soggy and cold, the zucchini sticks were something you can buy in the freezer section @ WalMart! the ranch was bottled, the fried fish had no flavor, batter was bland along with terrible tarter sauce. The seating on the patio was dirty and definitly needs a remodel! Won't be back and and wanted to warn others! Two meals over $70, rediculous! read more

The first time we came here it was an amazing experience...we tried going back last night and brought a friend since we'd talked about how good it was, but we were straight turned away 20 minutes before closing. We didn't realize they closed at 7pm Monday through Friday but I've never in my life been refused dine in service when a place was still open with 20 minutes still on the clock. My husband was upset enough he decided he won't go back. read more

We were heading to San Diego and wanted to try the popular burger spot in the Old Town Temecula. We were at the restaurant after 1pm on Sunday 01/07/23. The restaurant looks like an old fashion hamburger stand. There is a very small parking structure shared with Texas Lil's. We were lucky to get the spot. Before entering, there was a note posted on the window stating the 8% inflation charge. The waiter told us to sit anywhere. The tables and booth were very tight and small. You can also sit at the stools along the window area. Ordered: 3 sodas 1 -classic 1/4lb hamburger with fries I -classic 1/4lb cheeseburger fries 1 -1/2lb charbroiled chicken with upgraded onion rings The burgers were completely dry and burnt. The hamburger patty size was much smaller than the bun. The cheeseburger was little bit bigger but smaller than the bun. The chicken burger was tender but not as flavorful. It was little burnt. The fries were okay. The onion rings were bland and kind of greasy. Overall, the food was okay. I paid $75.52 + generous tips. The one thing that I liked was the branded burned on the buns. The service was ok, and the ambiance was nice. read more

So I was looking forward to a nice big burger and fries, and wanted to also sample their fried zucchini. I had been here before a few years back and I remember it to have been good. And the burger was actually quite good this time too. Large patty, large avocado slices and a reasonable amount of bacon and cheese, mine was the Cali ABC. My wife got the Ortega chile and cheese burger, also quite good. Burgers are around $20 with the fries only and extra for other sides. Not bad. Then we looked at the sides and were both bummed. My fries were a negligible portion as my picture shows, and were actually really soggy. Her fried Zucchini as you see in the pic (no we had not even eaten one) were an additional $4, and actually tasted good, but we were both shocked at how little was given as a portion. So good burgers but sides are lacking. Not hard to make good fries so this was surprising. And not expensive to give a decent portion of either. We got the food to go, but inside it looked like it was pretty dirty too. Was and could be a really exceptional place if they just ironed out the problems. I hate when a restaurant starts to get too comfy with success and begins phoning in some of their product. If they keep the burgers good and work on those sides I'd be back often! Without some decent sides though, which is half the meal, it's a tough sell. read more

My family and I decided to try this joint in Old Town Temecula. We wanted something that can cater to all our needs and we were hoping this would be it, but it wasn't. I honestly was pretty disappointed with my experience overall as well. Located on one end of Old Town Temecula, parking can be a bit sketch. They do have a lot, but as the day progresses into busier hours, that lot will become a challenge. You can try for street parking or other lots but it's overall a challenge especially because that street gets so busy. Pro tip, park at the hotels thats about a half mile away and just walk. Its not a bad walk at all. You can tell that this place has been here for a while. It looks like any average burger shack, but you'd expect it to be good especially having a good history. The first thing you see when tou walk to the entrance are trophies that say "Temecula's Best Burger" and different articles and reviews that praise this place, but that wasn't exactly the case in my opinion. This isn't your nice sit down burger restaurant, it's literally a shack. It's not cleanest, it just gets the job done. Service was ok. Yes all the workers were politely but there moments where I felt like they had tunnel vision. We'd try to flag them down and they'd walk right past us. We'd call out excuse me and they still wouldn't here us either. So that part was a bit of a turn off for me too. The price of the food did not match what we were getting at all. My boyfriend and I ordered the Triple 3 burger. For $25.99 I was expecting the burger to be big, it wasn't. Nothing about that matched the price. Was it cause they just branded the logo onto their bread? Not sure. The patty wasn't that big and the pork belly was kind of dry. There was honestly nothing special about that burger and I don't see what was award winning about it. Their onion rings and fried zucchini were average. Nothing special there either. For the price of our burger, we could've gotten 3 at In n Out, maybe more. Or just walk down the road more to 1909, you'd get your money's worth there for sure. But overall, was not satisfied and did not think my money was well spent. I don't see myself coming back again. read more
