A+++++++ We always love coming out to Rainbow Oaks. There's something SO fantastic that they don't do at any other restaurant. EVERY single day, at 12:00, everyone (with the exception of the occasional ungrateful fool) stands up and faces the flag, hats off, while the National Anthem plays. It is definitely worth experiencing if you haven't been there. The food is great and the service is excellent.....it's also a "mom & pop" place and we love supporting them. read more

We were a party of four and have a service animal. They tried to seat us at a 4 tip table with our service dog taking up the aisle space. We asked for the bigger table next to us to accommodate us and they refused. They said that is only for a party of 5. One of the women we were with had been there before and she said oh don't worry I love this place they will help let me speak to the owner. The owner said they could not accommodate and that they didn't need her negativity there. We could not believe our ears. Despicable behavior. Do not dine here!! read more

We've visited a few times since the new owners and it's just not nearly as friendly as before. The front desk gets crappy if you don't want first avail. Sorry for my disability?? I told you why we needed a booth.... The waiter was nice enough and for a great tip. The food? Mediocre at best. I don't know if the kitchen staff changed or what. We live that you've kept the noon salute but things need to improve! read more

Really enjoyed this place!! All the food was flavorful and the dood was better than the service. The portions were generous but when it was time to leave the check never came. We waited a long time then just went to the counter and waited for someone. The chili is a must try!! read more

We love this place. We've been here many times .my father-in-law was visiting and we wanted to take him to lunch. He's very old school and likes traditional American food. It's been very warm here lately This summer and rainbow Oaks has a fabulous air conditioning system! We got here around 2:00 pm on a Sunday and were immediately seated in a roomie booth with the window. We were greeted by our server and given menus. My father was very impressed with his club sandwich as usual. My husband got his chili burger with a fat french fry petals and I got a Reuben. Our meal came out all at the same time all prepared perfectly and everything was plated appealingly. Since it was a warm day, we all had several refills of soda and iced tea. Our server was attentive and before we even knew to ask, he brought us boxes because the portions are huge. We all had lunch the next day with our leftovers. It was a great meal rainbow Oaks never disappoints. read more

It's located in such a beautiful location and there is a cute general store and gas station right nearby. Love them so much! You feel like family when you're there. read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I always see this restaurant off the 15 on my daily commute so I'm glad I finally got to try it. The service is friendly & pretty typical for a dine in restaurant. Not too fast to where you think it's been sitting there but not too long of wait where you get impatient. The food is such big portions for my preference so I was able to split it into two meals, still delicious as leftovers. I'm picky on my ranch, and their ranch is delicious! We sat in the outdoor patio on a warm day and it wasn't too bad. Such a great breeze and the fans really helped. I was comfortable. I'll definitely be back and recommend this to anyone in the Fallbrook area. I'm excited to have a go to place in Fallbrook and easy to get to. read more

Everything I tried here was amazing - the fries, meatloaf, fish, beer... You name it, this place does it pretty well. It's always super packed and I can see why. Fun pit stop on the way to SD or back! read more

Rainbow Oaks is one of my favorite restaurants! Whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner you will get a delicious meal and a ton of food. I have a hard time deciding what to get every time I eat here. They have a turkey wrap that is one of my favorites and their onion rings are some of the best I have ever had. Today I decided on the Cobb salad and my husband had the tri tip sandwich with onion rings. They accidentally brought me the chef salad instead of the Cobb and when I pointed it out, my waiter brought me a side of blue cheese for my salad. When you order one of their salads, they come loaded with stuff and is always fresh! My husband enjoyed his tri tip sandwich and again had enough meat on it for two sandwiches. read more

Stopped by this place on our way back from Escondido. Wilderness themed diner style restaurant. They serve traditional breakfast items along with lunch. We came on a Wednesday at around 10:30 am and had about a 30 minute wait. Service was friendly and fast but they seemed to be understaffed on waiters, so be patient. We ordered Denver omelette, some combo meal, and eggs Benedict. Portions are large and the food tasted good, but not refined. Their house made hot sauce is A+. Miles better than eating at an IHOP or Dennys. Good place for families and if you're looking for a big breakfast/brunch. read more

We were in the area for a wedding and decided to stop by Rainbow Oaks Restaurant and we're so glad we did! The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe and serves classic American breakfast done really well. Even though it was our first visit, we both ended up ordering from the daily specials instead of the regular menu. We tried the Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict and the Meat Lovers Omelette. Both plates were massive and we ended up not finishing the one of the plates, but every bite was worth it. The Eggs Benedict, especially, stood out with its hollandaise sauce. Everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area! read more

I don't know what to think of this place. The food was very good, but the service was terrible. I don't know if it was just a coincidence, but our food took over an hour to come when it was served to us. It had hollandaise sauce from someone else's order on the bottom of my plate, which got all over the table and my arm. The food was burnt. It was quite noisy either there, and they sat us in the sun. We asked to switch seats, which seemed to be very difficult for them. They were very rude about it. not thrilled with this place. I think they could definitely work on their Customer Service and being a little bit friendlier especially the guy in the front that was seating people. read more

Food is always delicious! Raquel could be nicer and more welcoming. We felt like we were a bother to be coming in.

Huge portions! Our plates were fresh and hot. This is a place where I'll try something different each time I go, everything looked good. We were seated by a very friendly young lady. Sarah was our waitress and she was excellent. The dining room was clean and large with tables and booths. You can also sit at the bar or in a booth in the bar area. I will definitely frequent Rainbow Oaks if in the area. read more

Ambience is the best they've got to offer. Lodge vibe. I always wondered about that old weatherbeaten highway sign. Why don't they spruce it up? Is it a local classic? We live 20 minutes down the road. Some nice specials were on the board up front. I wanted to be a fan but it didn't happen. We went in the back door ( south) by mistake & got some glares. No problem, we went to the front & waited at the entry. Kinda took awhile to be acknowledged.... We ordered breakfast at noon on a weekday. Cold eggs ( over easy) Cold hash browns Cold pancakes ( pigs in the blanket) Butter on the cold toast unmelted. Both of us had hot sausage. Coffees were warm not hot. How does that even happen? They brought the cups from the kitchen, didn't pour at our table. There was so much going on here, honestly I was stunned. I'm not one to send back the food. Don't want that stuff reheated. Honestly, I was tempted to just get up and leave. Soooo disappointed and not interested in a confrontation. I think this was a service issue, not a kitchen error. If server waited 10 minutes for those sausages to cook, he should have rejected the plates. It was busy, appears to be quite popular. Servings are large. But I just can't do cold fried eggs for breakfast. read more

This restaurant was on our way to Big Bear and we were hungry for a good breakfast. So glad we stopped here!!! It was AMAZING food!! The staff was welcoming and friendly! The restaurant was packed, but we were seated right away. It was clean and orderly. I really wish I lived in California just to eat here everyday! If breakfast was good, I imagine the lunch and dinner are good too!!! Try the pancakes! They are made from scratch! read more

Wow! What a discovery! Our friends took us here for the first time and boy, what an experience! We had fresh brewed coffee which was delicious, then we shared their chicken fried steak, well done hash browns, and opted for their biscuit. They brought out an extra plate so we could share the meal. The portions were plentiful, the food was delicious, and our service was on point! I went over to the bar and ordered a non-alcoholic Heineken Zero, and it was brought to our table and conveniently added to our bill. We weren't too fond of the buttermilk biscuit, and will order an English Muffin if we ordered this same dish again. The dining area was really inviting! We were fortunate to hear the national anthem played at 12noon and everyone stood faced the flag and gave the appropriate respect to our flag. We can't wait to be in the area again so we can patronize this awesome eatery again! read more

This is my second time having Bridget as a server, and both times, especially today, she was incredibly incompetent. I believe it's time for her to retire. Not once, but three times, she messed up my order, and each time, it was someone else's fault. The first time, she outright blamed me for ordering incorrectly, even though all three adults at the table remembered me asking for my meal and not what she brought out three times. ‍ The last time, she blamed the kitchen, and that's when I had enough. Clearly, she had to bring the food from the kitchen to the table and didn't notice again? That the order was incorrect? Never took accountability, never apologized, I had to make sure to ask her name and point it out to her. She continued to cast blame and insist she was correct all three times. It's a shame at her age that she still hasn't learned to apologize and take accountability. If you're coming here, ask for another server. My last experience was not pleasant either, and it should have been my last, but I returned because besides her and her "customer service," I've had pleasant experiences and the food is always delicious. The restaurant is always clean, and everyone else has always been great. I hope the manager does speak to her like he stated he would. Especially because three times she brought out the wrong food/plate/side. read more

Lived in Winchester since 2021 and my carpool guy has been literally gate keeping this hidden gem located right before the Temecula weigh station.

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant was one of the highlights of our day. The restaurant has a charming, cozy log-cabin feel with beautiful wood accents and a warm atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. The food was delicious comfort food, the restaurant was clean, and the service was exceptional. Every staff member we interacted with was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely cared about the customer experience. One thing that really stood out was watching a server who had just been double sat immediately acknowledge a new table and let them know he'd be right over. It's a small thing, but it's exactly what great hospitality looks like. I also accidentally left something behind, and a staff member ran it out to me before I drove away. The level of care and attentiveness from the team made me want to tip well above 20%. That's rare these days. Super impressed. A very cool little stop, and I'd absolutely come back. read more

My friend and I met for a late lunch about 1:30. There was plenty of space as they still had the lunch crowd. They have a full bar next to dining area. I ordered the Tuna Salad Melt, it comes on Marble Rye bread w/coleslaw, my friend ordered a Chicken Sandwich w/avocado, but no bread and Onion Rings. We had a very nice serving each. I loved the tuna salad, made just like my Mom. They have plenty of parking and outdoor/indoor dining. There is a nice grocery store next door which sells local wines and a little boutique near by(only open Sat & Sun. There is also a small park just in the area so you have choices all around you! I'm sure to go back again. If you get hung up in traffic off the 15 take the Mission/Fallbrook exit and it's right off the old 395 hwy. Worth the stop. I want to try their Prime Rib Special after 4! Oh one more thing, if you use a CC you will pay a fee, but if you use a debit card and of course cash, No Charge read more

This place was recommended to me by a local. And I was surprised how much I loved it! The restaurant itself is super clean and tidy, and it's quite inviting and homey.

Be sure to check out the mini mart across the way, got myself some fresh coffee beans and a candle from there. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

I have been here now 4 times . Very consistently good restaurant for both quality of food and service . I have had banana walnut pancakes , blueberry pancakes , husband has had the Monte Cristo , omelettes , Benedict's , all of it was good .

If you are offended by the flag that is the only reason for you to stay away and you would be missing out if that is you . read more

Ok folks if u r ever leaving or going to Pechanga casino head over to Fallbrook (worth the added 15 min to get there) and enjoy a delicious, ample serving of breakfast or lunch items. Rustic, down home environment. It's not their staff' first rodeo so they know how to get your order in and know what condiments will go with it. Most of the time you don't have to ask for a to go box.... they already know. Why 4 stars? Personal preference. Not everything served was 5 stars but close. read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - Rainbow Oak Restaurant - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

I didn't know what to think about Rainbow Oaks Restaurant. I read that they say the Pledge of Allegiance at noon every day. There are American flags everywhere. It was recommended wholeheartedly by a deeply right-wing family member. I was like: What is this place? But I went anyway, because the food looked good in the photos on Yelp. Food will build bridges and unite people, I fully believe that. Anyway, the food here is plentiful and good, so that alone is enough to visit. I wasn't under any obligation to salute to a flag when I visited, because we came for an early breakfast. The coffee is excellent -- probably the best coffee you'll have anywhere in Rainbow, let alone the surrounding area. The kind server let us know that they ground the beans fresh every morning, and they get the coffee beans from a local source. No wonder the coffee is so delicious! I got a California omelet, and it had lots of stuff in it like onions, peppers, avocado and cheese. It came with potatoes and two slices of toast (I got whole wheat toast). They buttered the toast really well! My kids got pancakes (the kids' pancakes are shaped like a mouse) and blueberry pancakes (they have hella blueberries in them). I would say, if you order the blueberry pancakes, ask for "light blueberries," because they really put their foot in these blueberry pancakes and add like two pints of blueberries in each order. Even the server, bless her heart, said, when looking at the blueberry pancakes: "That's a lot of blueberries." It was a lot of blueberries in the blueberry pancakes. We also got the biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy can be hit or miss in southern California, but these b&gs were good and worth ordering if you're in the mood for white carbs on top of white carbs. The service is excellent. Our sever was a pro and refilled our coffee mugs before we even realized we needed to be topped off, and brought ketchup and hot sauce before we had to ask. This place is great and worth a visit if you're in Rainbow and looking for a great breakfast restaurant or a place to get lunch. read more

If we lived locally, this would be our favorite spot. Bar none. This is where you need to go to if you truly want a taste of America. This quaint, rustic style restaurant is unassuming and a hidden gem! We went on a Monday morning at around 11:30am, was greeted right away and seated. There's 3 dining areas, the main restaurant, the bar area or outdoor. There's a warm vibe to it, definitely a local hangout. There's many dishes to choose from that will satisfy any craving. We chose the breakfast route. Hubby asked Martin if there were any specials and we chose what he said weren't on the menu. We had the Blueberry French Toast Combo and the Corned Beef Hash Benedict with a Chipotle hollandaise sauce. While we waited, we had their house drip coffee and it was goooooood! Our food came out in a timely manner, and the visual alone made our eyes drool. Hubby's Benedict was full-flavored, eggs cooked just right, hash was delicious and the english muffin wasn't soggy. My blueberry french toast? LOVED! Bacon & sausage (It came with 2 of each!) seriously, the BEST I've ever had. Bacon was huge and fried perfectly. The sausages? The outside was crisp and popped when I bit into it. I always prefer bacon, but if breakfast sausages were always like this, I dare say I wouldn't be able to decide! As we sat there utterly amazed at this restaurant, if it couldn't get any better it did! Out of nowhere, the national anthem started playing (instrumental) and EVERY person in that place stood up in silence and put their hands over their hearts til it finished. Apparently, they do this everyday at 12:00pm. It was a wonderful surprise and we appreciated and loved it. Respect to every one there! Great atmosphere, great people, great food, great value, generous portions and patriotic to boot? #1 in our book and looking forward to going again. read more

My family loves going here, they have great service and food. But today we went for Mother's Day and they told us a hour wait, which was completely okay because we had a big party. After a hour we asked again and they said 15 min. We saw them seat a party that was the size of our minus 1 person and so we just left. I don't like leaving bad reviews but my family and me waited outside in the heat for a hour which we had no problem waiting at all but after a hour and then them seating some people that got there after us was very upsetting and I don't think we will be back. read more
