    Chili omelette
    Donna F.

    Bridget is a treasure but the staff is all wonderful! Love this place! The food is all bar none!!!

    So my family and I came here at the suggestion of my stepdaughter. The online pictures were not impressive at all and I really wasn't looking forward to it. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised at how clean the dining room was. The staff seated us right away and our server was so nice! I ordered the chorizo scramble which came with rice, beans and tortillas. It was really good! I even took my order home to finish it later. The prices were very reasonable. The restaurant is located next to a market and boutique shop that were interesting to peruse. 4/5 stars!

    Lumberjack plate with blueberry pancakes
    Perla R.

    Love this place! Everything is great we came on a Sunday around noon, my boyfriend wanted breakfast & I wanted lunch so that worked out haha. He got the blueberry pancake plate & I got the Texas toast burger. I had no idea how huge this burger was going to be lol it was enormous I could only eat half and they let me get half fries & half onion rings. It was so good and I've never had the fries here before they were soooo good! Again love this place I always recommend the pancakes to everyone!!!

    Steak and eggs
    Pedro S.

    I been coming to RO for years. They have yummy omelette but the pancakes are excellent. Today I had the steak and eggs. Good portion steak with toasty potatoes. Come early because there is a wait but come hungry they have big portions.

    Goooood Burger
    Ray S.

    Been here many times for breakfast and have always enjoyed the quality and proportions of the food. Today (8/29/26) I had a burger. It was a difficult choice because of all the options but I went with the Texas burger. When they brought it out the first thing I said was "I'm going to need a to go box" It was HUGE. For the side you get plenty of choices, I chose frings. The onion rings and fries are both worthy of recognition. Whether you go for breakfast or lunch you won't be disappointed.

    This is AFTER I ate half of it !  Geez

    We had a great experience . Been here 25 years and never tried this little place . Portions are huge ! (Share if you are not very very hungry ) Jake was our server and he was great ! He was attentive and so kind !! Going to try it for breakfast next !!

    Tri tip sandwich
    Shontel C.

    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!!

    Rainbow Oaks Restaurant, 4815, 5th Street, Fallbrook, CA92028. American food. It's been a while since we came here. The food, service, ambiance haven't changed much. Everything is still as good as ever. Portion is big and prices reasonable. The restaurant has a country-style vibe. We had tuna melt sandwich, lightly toasted that came with a generous amount tuna fillings

    Tri tip sandwich with Cole slaw
    Jessica C.

    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.

    Side salad with Thousand Island dressing
    Anna M.

    Second time coming to this lovely, cozy and cool restaurant that feels like home! The friendly and speedy service plus the vast and tasty menu is what keeps everyone coming back for more. My husband ordered the Tuna Melt and I had the Teriyaki Chicken Breast. Everything was p delicious and the portions are huge. 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.

    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.

    Chef salad with a side of blue cheese
    Nancy S.

    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.

    Chili burger
    Lisa R.

    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.

The food was delicious!!! So much flavors and everything was balanced. We split the goat and vine salad. Amazing! My only recommendation would be adding another piece of goat cheese for the full size portion. The Summer in Italy was full of sooo much flavor. Absolutely delicious! The ambiance was beautiful. I loved the lighting - dimly lit and beautiful chandeliers. The murals were also aesthetically pleasing! Since we sat at the bar, we could see them making the pizzas fresh! Service was pleasant enough and a little inattentive, but they were def in the middle of their rush. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to a friend!

    Absolutely worth the wait!…read more We had about an hour-and-a-half wait for a table, but honestly, it worked out perfectly. We used the time to stroll around downtown, do a little shopping, and enjoy the area before our meal. By the time our table was ready, we were excited to sit down and eat. The food was delicious, and the service was just as impressive. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well worth waiting for. Our server was attentive and friendly, and even with how busy the restaurant was, we never felt rushed. You can tell there's a reason this place has a wait. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and even better food. I'd absolutely come back next time I'll just plan on putting our name in and enjoying downtown while we wait! I completely neglected to take photos, but for once, that was actually a good thing. We were enjoying a true date night without phones or interruptions, just good food, conversation, and each other. Next time I'll try to remember the pictures! We did finish the night with the s'mores dessert, and it was fantastic. My only advice: if you're a dessert lover like we are, it's a little too small to share! Get the s'mores AND another dessert so you can share both and try something else on the menu. Such a great date-night experience from beginning to end. We'll definitely be back!

Great wine, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a Temecula wine country favorite!

    First and foremost, I will NEVER be visiting this winery EVER again. To anyone that reads this…read morereview, YOU ARE WARNED you will be subjected to the worst experience and customer service that you will probably have to ever endure. My Wife and I are appalled over what happened. To the Business Owner, Cane V., you need to train your employees, the faces of YOUR everyday business, to be more EMOTIONALLY INTUITIVE and PROFESSIONAL and have GENERAL MATURITY. Where do I start? If you are looking for a winery that has an unprofessional, rowdy brewery atmosphere that attracts Entitled Stank Faced Boomer Temecula Wine Moms and their Snobby Little Cliques LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Our Experience: my Wife and I came over to sample some wines from this winery that was recommended from a friend. On the Winery Website, you can do 2 different types of wine tastings: Classic Tastings of 6 wines of your choice or a Private Wine Tasting of 8 different ones for a higher price. This is what initially attracted my Wife and I to this winery in the first place (big mistake on our end). Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that wine tasting is no longer being offered at all. The incompetent red haired bartender at the front entrance provided us with no other alternative other than "Yea we don't offer that anymore, you can do by the glass or by the bottle." Her tone changed completely when I asked her about the Club they advertise everywhere. She then tells us that they are booked for the day, however the BAR and LAWN area are open seating, after 8PM everything is open seating. It was 6:30/7PM so we decided by that point, we'll wait for a spot to open up and enjoy some wine then in the meantime. We figured, it's just the 2 of us so we should have luck finding a spot. At the bar area, I noticed that 3 seats were left unattended. The people there got up and left, no drinks were left behind or any "Reservation" placards were placed to notify people. I walk over, sit down and wave to my Wife to come and sit at the bar area. We sat down, sipped some of our wine for 10-15 minutes. Bar had 2 people working, a gentleman and heavier set Blonde lady. Both of them never said anything and nothing was ever exchanged between us and the heavier set Blond lady. I was even thinking about buying a beer or cocktail and thankfully I didn't. Shortly after this time, an EXTREMELY RUDE, ENTITLED, and VISIBLY DRUNK lady and her husband RUDLY went in between my Wife and I and COMMANDED we leave her spots. My Wife and I laughed at her and were genuinely confused because the BAR IS OPEN SEATING, THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR OPEN SEATING. She then gets even more angry and DEMANDS we leave or else, says to my Wife and I "YOU're GOING TO LEAVE NOW," I tell the lady to kick rocks, it's open seating then she enters the bar area to talk to the heavier set Blond bar tender that we wont move. The Blond bar tender THEN has the AUDACITY to tell us "They have been sitting here all night, YOU TWO need to leave immediately." My Wife and I look at each other and absolutely laugh it off at the sheer absurdity of everyone's tone towards us. Who do you think you are to blatantly kick us out ON OPEN SEATING? Either you are severely undertrained from the Owner or you as a staff member play favorites with other entitled customers. Both of which are absolutely absurd. Upon this interaction, my Wife and I leave and go right down the street to Europa Winery and sampled several wines and had a $250 dinner at Bolero. Here, the experience was a complete 180° and we should've never wasted our time at Miramonte Winery being subjected to the nastiness from the Temecula Trash. If you are a large party, or wanting to host private events, I STRONGLY recommend ANYWHERE else besides Miramonte Winery. The Staff here is atrocious, rude, immature and ugly. I pride myself in never leaving nasty reviews but this experience changed everything moving forward.

Carne asada tacos, fries and farmhouse salad with chicken and the beef sandwich were all super tasty. We had to try a dessert and it was hard to pick just one as they all sounded so good - landed on the apple crisp and it was perfect and the best warm caramel sauce. Food is fresh, good quality and everything was great. Service for drinks was the fastest I've ever encountered in any restaurant- seriously! For as large as this place is, they have it running like a machine with food runners and wait staff choreographed perfectly. It's also a neat atmosphere, lots of tables, full bar and good vibe. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Highly recommend.
