Everything was so tasty and yummy!! The portions were pretty deceiving on the menu. We definitely thought the food and fries were going to be a lot more. The service was super friendly, but could be more attentive. We sat around the backside of the restaurant and barely got refills. They have outdoor seating and the ambiance is great! Parking will be a hassle!! read more

Best burger in town sign should be a red flag. You feel like you smell like a greasy burger from the start. greasy and quality of meat is average. Popular place but for 1 or 2 dollars more you got a higher quality burger next door. Seems Tight, rushed and you just feel under served. Good concept and obvious great for some, just not this average Joe. Date, basic and just nothing to tell mom about or seperate itself from other. I left going what separates this from others? What will make me come back. I mind is blank and could find a answer. This is a a classic hey call me, we will do lunch and then it never happens. Don't take my word, please judge for yourself. read more

They have great location but food quality is bad. Go to Haven Haus instead it's just down the street if you want great burgers.

Wait was a lil long but lived this place. Services was good loved all of them. Food is sooo good!!!! Definitely need to try out this spot!!!! Cute diner vibes!!! read more

I've been here several times through the years, and the place seems to be losing its luster. Starting with the good, their burgers are stellar. Good (not great) selection of burgers to choose from, and they're all really great tasting. They have a very healthy selection of appetizers and drinks to supplement. The not so great list seems to be getting longer the more they're around. Service isn't top notch. They're curt, and some have clearly been working there too longer. They're too comfortable there, and know people won't say anything. The menu is a little outdated. Their salad option is terrible, they have nothing that would be considered modern or "healthy". Adding in a portobello mushroom patty, or a black bean patty, or an impossible burger patty would be great. The worst is their prices. $7.99 for a small side of fries was crazy. $67 for two of of us, 1 burger, 1 salad, 1 side of fries, one side of zuchinni sticks, a shake, and a soda. The prices just don't reflect well considering the service, aging decor, and somewhat lackluster options. If you want a good burger, it's a good option, but I wouldn't go there for much else. It needs a serious refresh. read more

I've been here a few times, and I know what to expect. The food is affordable, the burgers are decent, and the atmosphere is good enough. This location is great for people watching because it's right on Front Street. The times that I've been here, the service has been good and helpful. If you're looking for a basic burger spot that's not bad, then this is a good spot for you. read more

We've been coming to T-La for a number of years, and just haven't been to this joint. Promptly seated and ordered just as quickly as the staff was on it! Ordered the Juicy J burger, a peanut butter banana shake and the Oreo shake for my bride. Burger came out in normal time, but we were nearly done with the burger when our shakes arrived. I asked about them right before our burger arrived, and was assured it was on the way. When the shakes arrived they were just average, and the Oreo didn't taste like the Oreo cookie(and was not topped with an actual Oreo as in the menu picture.... I think they are using generic! Ambiance is strip mall picnic, service was friendly but unresponsive, and prices far exceeded service and food quality. I really wanted to like this joint, but certainly does not make the list. Let's hope it was just an off day, and you all have a better experience. read more

Mad Madeline's Grill - Juicy J... great fries, average burger. - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

I have always walked past this place and thought "one day i will go in there" and 6/9/24 was that day. The location is prime time, i was greeted as soon as i walked in, and the overall look was what you would expect from a burger joint. Price isn't too bad for portion size. Average cost per burger is around $18/$19 from what i saw. The only real down side was the flavor. I give that the 3/5. Guacamole was plain, burger seasoned decently and the fries were crispy which I like. I'm a flavor guy 100% could really care less how it looks or costs as long as it's FIRE. I will pay any price for good food. I will come back and try another burger. read more

Genuinely confused how this place doesn't have more stars?! It's such a cute little spot, great patio views of old town to people watch! The food was amazing! Ordered the chile relleno burger and the triple 333 with sweet potato fries. For an appetizer we ordered fried pickle spears. I have to say the size of these burgers are massive!! The flavor is definitely banging! The triple 333 is definitely for a blue cheese lover. The regular and sweet potato fries were addictive! Pickle spears were so yummy especially with a side of ranch! Overall yes it was a little pricey for a burger joint but it's an experience. Also you can definitely split a burger with someone and leave full! read more

The burgers are unique and there are discount cards available but the food and lack of ambiance make the experience overpriced.

Best burgers in town, loved the Chili fries And the service is second to none Nice outdoor environment, great friendly ambiance. Wish I had two more stars to give read more

Strolling around Old Town Temecula, we were starving and looking for a place with outdoor seating to pop in for a bite. Saw that Mad Madeline's was bumping but didn't have a ton of people waiting. We waited for roughly 5 minutes before being sat. We opted for burgers which were tasty - didn't get too crazy with all the options but there are a ton of options for those looking for that. But the sides, particularly, the fried zucchini was the star! It was so delicious - a nice way to get your veggies while enjoying the fried. Ha! Also, I love that they have crushed ice for the soda!! read more

The wait time to be seated, order, and receive food was abut 20 minutes total, which was not bad considering the young man was by himself seating people, taking orders and serving a constant stream of people. We ordered bacon cheeseburgers, which came with French Fries and a Strawberry Shake and the food was delicious and well prepared. The outside dining space was clean and felt I was seated amongst friendly people out for a good time. I would definitely go back. (Pricy but so is everything else when out for a day trip) read more

No stars!!! Owner is rude! What would you expect to receive with this order?? All I got was the chili and when I called they told me I needed to request onions and tomatoes and they don't offer sour cream. I asked for a refund and the owner made fun of that before hanging up in my ear because ..... according to him, I just was going to eat the big bowl of chili sitting in front of me for free??? I'm the dumb oneone who can't read, I guess. The chili is tasteless without the toppings. Got the sour cream refunded through door dash but didn't eat the plain chili. Surprised as a small town business they had no desire to correct this. Could have even offered something for later.... Won't ever be back after being treated like that when they were wrong! read more

Mad Madeline's Grill - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

Located at the Oldtown Temecula, with patio seatings, overlooking the street and cars that go through the main street. They have their own parking right next to the restaurant though it is limited space. We came in with a family friend of ours and tried this place on a Friday evening. The restaurant will get crowded as the evening goes on. We tried the teriyaki and pinapple burger, the mushroom and swiss burger, fries, onion rings, and flavor of the month shakes, and some water. The burgers are massive! It will fill you up and it will get messy. We like the teriyaki one better because it had more flavors compared to the mushrooms and swiss burger. The onion rings were crispy and hot out of the fryer. Delicious. The french fries was a bit of a let down for me. It wasnt as crispy as I had imagined them to be but maybe I should have asked for well done (next time). The shakes were sweet and just delicious, definitely hits the spot. We'll come back and try other things on the menu. read more

Incredible care and service from Makayla (sp? I'm sorry I should have asked) and everyone working tonight 3-8-24. Amazing food. Cooked to perfection. Had the "333", my daughter had the 2 corndogs. Fries fresh and perfectly seasoned. They even turned on Disney and we had "Moana" playing, and everlasting other families there were excited too! Above and beyond on all fronts. Thank you for making a special road trip for my daughter and I even more spectacular. I can't even begin to describe how much you guys made our day. Way to go read more

I've lived in the area a long time and used to come here as a kid, so I decided to go back for some nostalgia. It wasn't that busy on a Saturday, we waited to be seated (no hostess or anyone to greet us). We were offered to pick out of 3 booths to sit at, but all of them were dirty. So we just cleaned it off ourselves, no biggie. We proceeded to place our order and wait for our food. As we waited, we couldn't help but notice the staff turning away customers. First, they were telling people that the wait for food would be about 40 minutes then it quickly changed to no we cannot serve you because we ran out of items on the menu. They even turned away a group of people who just wanted alcoholic drinks. I don't know the policy but apparently you cannot just order alcoholic drinks here without food. I digress, the food, however was pretty good. The mozzarella sticks were delicious. I don't think you can go wrong there. I ordered a grilled chicken Ortega chile sandwich which was pretty good but messy. My mom ordered the mushroom burger. I was super excited to try the "boozy dole pineapple " drink and it was delicious! The decor needs a lot of touching up and service needs to be better. Maybe they are short staffed, I'm not sure. hopefully this place redeems itself, I've seen pretty bad reviews lately. It's historical to old town, I would be sad to see it go down hill! read more

Yuuuuuummm is all I can say to express how much we loved the food. It was such a cute place and felt as if we stepped back into 1950. We ordered a couple burgers, friend pickles and tacos with pull pork. It was really hard to make the selection because there was so much we wanted to try. Once the food came out we couldn't stop eating. The burgers tasted so fresh and was probably the best I ever had. There was such good flavor and the service was great. The staff are attentive and happy to help the customers. Please stop by and eat here if your looking for a fabulous burger!! read more

Mad Madeline's Grill has been a long time, casual dining establishment in the heart of Old Town Temecula since 1991. Famous for their big, fresh and juicy burgers and I've had plenty over the years, my husband and opted for two items off the hot dog offerings; chili cheese dog and pastrami dog. All their hot dogs are charbroil grilled and are 1/4 lb 100% beef. Our friendly server brought out our onion rings first and I'm happy she did. They were hot and crispy just what you want in a good ring. They have a big menu so you'll find something for everyone. It is a bit pricey but you get large portions of good, fresh food for your dollar. We didn't order a shake or root beer float today but it's on our list for next time. read more

I actually don't know how many stars to give because we haven't been able to eat here yet. We've lived in the area for over 10 years and always wanted to try this place even with such mixed reviews. I wish I had read the one about them closing early to have someone come in to clean the grills. It would've saved us time and a trip. We waited outside for a few minutes and didn't see a single employee in sight. Finally a cook appeared in the window but still no host/waitress to seat us. This was an hour before closing. Someone finally showed up and told us they were cleaning and wouldn't be serving anymore. This is the kind of thing that should be clear on the website or a sign outside the restaurant. Just respect people's time. And we'd be happy to come out and give it another shot if we knew they'd be open when we arrived. read more

Cute place, but extremely pricey, plus there's a service charge! On a pleasant weekend, we waited in line, in the sun, for a LONG time to get seated. Good burgers and shakes. We spent $50 for 2 burgers (1 lettuce-wrapped), a SHARED waffle fries and a SHARED shake! There was a pleasant woman who walked around and chatted with all the tables and was really friendly- that was a highlight. I guess it's a good place for tourists, but as a local, I'll stick with In N Out Burger! read more

Been coming here for years and it's been a good burger joint. Nothing special but it's on the Main Street in Temecula and great to people watch. The prices have been going up every year and now it is ridiculous. The kicker is they add an Inflation Service Fee of 8%. 3 burgers, onion rings, and 2 bottle beers was $101. w / tip of $11. WTF. Pure greed. read more

We met up with our siblings in town because it's the half-way point between San Diego and Covina. We originally wanted to eat at the restaurant where we ate last time, but the wait for a table was long. We discovered Mad Madeline's by accident. It has its own lot to park in, and it was not as crowded. All of the seating is outdoors, but it is an enclosed space with plenty of coverage and protection from sun and heat. The tables and benches are bolted to the patio flooring, so our party of 6 couldn't sit together, but we were at adjacent tables so we could still talk to each other. The food was good, not fussy. But when it cane time for dessert, we ordered Dole Whip. We checked in and received a free Dole Whip. We thought it would be small, but it was huge! If we had known, we'd have just ordered one. It's a tight space to maneuver a walker or wheelchair, especially since the tables and chairs can't be moved. Luckily, I used my cane. The restroom is located around the patio at the back near the kitchen entrance; 2 single stall bathrooms that non-patrons can also access, so you may be in for a wait. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area. read more

Very friendly service. We waited a few minutes to be seated. Very casual place. They have lots of burger and sandwiches options. They all looked yummy on the picture. I ordered a tractor racer burger with a half pound of fired zucchini as the side. Burger doesn't come with a side unless you order it separately. Food came out quick. It was tasty, too. I love the fried zucchinies. Definitely recommended Only the downside is the price. The price is a little bit above than it should be. Especially for being a very casual burger place. The price is high, and the burger doesn't even come with a side or soda. On top of that, they charged some fees on the bill. read more

From first bite to last the Massive burgers, wait did I mention Massive ? Ya ! okay just making sure , they are scrumptious . Burgers come as a combo meal with french fries . I also ordered frickles , you know fried pickles absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the zucchini too , came to the table really crispy fried to golden perfection. Nutella malt with extra malt real whip cream on top and oh so thick . Very pleased with this meal . Outdoor dining is all they have so it can be a bit chilly in the winter , dress for the weather . ~ Final note * They do add an 8% service charge to all meals .... I feel it's important to inform people ahead of time before choosing to dine here . read more

Mad Madeline's Grill - Double cheeseburger & fries - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

Looks like an old style diner, you can seat yourself and they get your order right away. We shared the Buffalo burger with fries, fried pickle spears and a peanut butter shake. The burger first came out very rare. We sent it back and they made a new one that came out medium well and was much better. Overall, the burger was just alright, nothing to write home about. The fries were good. The milk shake although good, could have had more peanut butter in it. Lastly, the fried pickle spears. These were some of the worst fried pickles I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and go next door to Texas Lil's and get their fried pickles, they have some of the best we've ever had. Our server was an adorable little gal who was on her first day of work there. She was professional, helpful and attentive. I probably won't be back to Mad's, was worth a try though. read more

Horrible service and understaffed. Don't bother showing up. Same story all Over old town. Not one spot can ever have enough staff

I wish I could write a review giving props to where they are deserved but it won't be one of those. We arrived a little over 5pm on a Monday and waited to be seated but were left standing there awkwardly for a few minutes and eventually seated ourselves at one of the tables. When I went to find someone that actually works there, I asked if it was OK that we seated ourselves to which I was immediately told "Oh, we're actually only doing take out orders after 5 today because we have some people coming to do some deep cleaning." WHAT? No sign, no heads up when I called right before we left to inquire about something else, nothing? On the way out, I also noticed their fun little nonchalant paper sign that says "8% fee will be added to all bills to offset rising inflation costs". This is extremely underhanded, unethical and something that should be baked into their already overpriced costs. When I first moved to Temecula and came here with my family, we thought we had found a gem despite their higher prices and would come here every now and again when we wanted something a little "more" but I sadly cannot say that anymore. read more
