    Best ever. Great Mothers Day. Hit the spot. Really enjoyed our meal. Great ambience, vibe.

    My sister recommended phils bbq for dinner. The food portions were huge, but the food was drowned in mayo and bbq sauce; even my BF who loves to eat felt it was lackluster! The bright spots were the corn bread and baked beans. It's a loud boisterous restaurant, with a bar

    We were headed towards Escondido and got hungry. Bbq sounded great! Stopped by Phil's BBQ for take out and it was sooooo delicious!! We got a full rack of ribs, baked potato. I also ordered coleslaw but they forgot to pack it in my takeout bag. We added a sausage which was a good size! And some brisket. We had enough leftovers for breakfast with eggs in the AM. Service is so great there when you take your order to waiting at the bar to then delivering the food. It's a very large establishment and quite lively. I'd totally come back here again to eat inside. The wait seemed to be about 30 min when we stopped by on a Sunday evening.

    We had such a great experience. This was our 2nd time and this time was great cause we didn't have a long line The service was quick and friendly Ambience was casual and kick back which we love since this means a mess isn't a big deal, especially with 3 kids. And the food was great! The beef rib was dope and the ribblers were Aug-MAZING...High 5 for whomeverdid their thing with the sweet tea! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our time

    It's the BBQ Sauce!!! Phil's has some of the Best BBQ in all of SoCal! Regardless of which Phil's location you visit, taste and quality is the same. This is some of the Best BBQ I've had and have still to find somewhere that can beat Phil's Restaurants are always clean and their staff is always on point and friendly. Their Tri-tip and pull-pork is simply amazing!

    Broham sandwich

    Phil's Bbq is always bomb! Consistent everywhere! You walk in and order at the front, then it's open seating. Plenty of seats for big parties or bar seating if dining solo. I ordered the broham sandwich (pulled pork sandwich). Honestly it's a great deal for the amount of meat you get! 10/10 would recommend! Succulent, juicy and plentiful. I'll see y'all there!

    Order at the cashier. Once your order is ready, you'll pick it up

    I haven't been to a Phil's in a while, and this location brought back great memories with its friendly customer service, tasty food, and well-kept atmosphere. I also appreciated the huge parking lot at this location, which made visiting easy. For food, I ordered the award-winning BBQ wings with French fries. The portion was big. Order at the cashier. Once your order is ready, you'll pick it up. I had plenty left over, and my husband ended up eating my takeout. My friend ordered BBQ Wings as well and enjoyed it, though her side of corn on the cob was small and overcooked. I would skip the corn next time. Overall, our experience was great.

    I love that they have a location in Temecula because I feel it's a lot less busy than their San Diego location. It's located at the corner of the Promenade plaza. There's plenty of parking around as well as a ton of tables inside and also an outside patio area. There's a bar area on one side and the other side has tables and spot to order for take out or dine in. They have an extensive menu. My favorite is the their pork ribs! I usually get bone in, but today I tried the rib less and chick less which was nice since I didn't have to work to get my meat. It was packed with flavor and meat was nice and juicy inside. I love their fries because it's a nice thickness and isn't too salty. Their Mac salad is my favorite! It's not overly mayo flavor and the tiny macaroni makes it fun to eat. Their coleslaw is also a close second. The service was quick and the workers were friendly.

    Bbq beef tickler special.  Comes with fries, onion rings and Cole slaw
    Shirley C.

    Made it for happy hour and it was an awesome deal!! Best prices in town. Warning. Their bbq sauce are house made so each location is slightly different. This location was not spicy! They have $4 fries or onion rings -- what a deal You can order whole menu at bar during happy hour too. So you get the best of both worlds. Drink prices are an awesome deal too which includes beer and cocktails too Service was great. Bar area has handicapped seating too Friendly place where you can have down home bbq in a big barn feel Drinks are plentiful

    Boneless rib and chicken combo
    Stephanie T.

    I got the boneless ribs and chicken, potato salad, and French fries. The potato salad was super good. It's too bad I can't say that for anything else on my plate. The meats were rather dry. The ribs were rather bland. Same with the fries. You order at the counter and they give you an alert thing that will tell you when your food is ready. Then you go get it from the counter. With the flu going around, I'm not a fan of other people hovering over my food like this. Other than ordering, you don't interact with the staff much. They come and clear the table, but that's about it. It's rather dimly lit. Plenty of seating. But meh at best.

    Rack of ribs  , side of tri tip , beans , macaroni salad and sweet bbq beans

    Phil's bbq was pretty good ! A few things I wasn't too big a fan of , but still some damn good bbq . I'm a Saturday afternoon this place is pretty busy ! Sat at the bar, was inevitably greeted with awesome service from Jesse ! They have a good variety of drinks and beers on tap . We ordered the full rack of Babby backs , a side order of tri tip . Sides , unfortunately they don't have Mac and cheese ! But the macaroni salad is pretty dam good , sweet baked beans and veggies . I thought the veggies would be grilled , they're not . Anyway over good spot for some good food . Only down fall for me No Mac and cheese , and the trip tip was "deli sliced" so really thin and in sauce , first for me . Was good tho

    Ribs and beef bone with fries and slaw
    Sam T.

    It's okay bbq, that's all. In my opinion not worth going if there's a wait, but if there's no wait and you're in the mood for bbq it works! I personally didn't love the bbq sauce, it was tangy and I prefer sweet. Check it out though, because we all have different tastebuds!!

    Caes F.

    When in Temecula, Phil's BBQ! Ordered the half rib dinner $25.99, enough for a light appetizer :) The sides are very fulfilling. We ordered the beans and fries. Order and grab a table!

A perch for Merch is just inside the door and the main room is rather sparse with plenty of room for more tables. Arriving on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I found the place tepid with nary a welcome from the hosts, were there any? maybe not. We chose some spots at the bar, overcrowded with a motorcycle club on one end we sat at one end in close quarters to others. The 2 female bartenders seemed stand- of-ish and neither knew if there was or wasn't a drink special. No recommendations on the beers and that's odd for a brewery with 3 bartenders that weren't busy. The third was a tall young man who was kind, chatty and knew his basketball. He remained busy stocking the bar our entire 30 minute stay. Beers are on the high end but I was still surprised to get a check before the beer. My buddy may have or might not have liked his house beer, Unremarkable either way was my impression, then my Modello was served in a broken glass. The next day a neighbor told me all about Hendo and what a good guy he was and how he had trained his boys a few decades ago. The place has potential but the Manager needs to wake up his staff and insert some Hendo energy into that cavernous room.

My husband and I really enjoyed YARD HOUSE. We had the Poke Nachos ( 5 STARS ) and 4 cheese Spinach dip ( 5 STARS ) The all cheese pizza was good but a little skimpy on the cheese. I'd say only 2/3 of the pizza had cheese on it. (3 STARS ) The seared ahi was ok. Personally, we prefer it raw and cold so searing took away some of the goodness. Ariana was our server. She is definitely a 5 STAR PLUS PLUS PLUS!!!!!! All in all, I would come back! Prices are more than fair for the amount of food you get during HAPPY HOUR. 3-6 M-F I would venture to say, a little pricey for me to pay full price. If you have kids with you, I strongly recommend HAPPY HOUR. It's so worth the money 100% recommend YARD HOUSE in TEMECULA CA.

The garlic shiitake noodles with Parmesan cheese were absolutely AMAZING -- so flavorful and comforting. I also ordered the poke nachos and they were delicious, especially the sauce they drizzle on top (so good!). And of course, the cheeseburger was bomb.com -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The customer service here is top tier -- everyone was friendly and welcoming, which really made the experience even better. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. I totally recommend Yard House and can't wait to come back!

Our group was left navigating who ordered what and determine what beer was what and finding the correct owner. Dinner plates delivered no place settings at the table, no condiments (ketchup) and no drinks for more than half of the table. That lefts us going to the bar to retrieve our own cutlery.... Going to the bar to request our waters and our sodas... even after three attempts to ask for our drinks (water, lemonade, soda) the drinks weren't brought out.
