    I was refused service here, because I was wearing this riding vest. This isn't a club cut. The only patch affiliated to an organization, is the VFW Life Member patch. The only "colors" on it are the American flag.

    Haven't been here in 30 years. While home on a visit we ran up to Pala. On the way back I had to stop in and see if the place had changed. They had a great band playing. Service was a little slow but the people were all friendly. It was a Friday night and the place was full. Loved that they were celebrating 40 years. I used to come here for Karaoke back in the 90's. When I go back home and am in the area, I will stop in again. Thanks for the memories. Visit was 7-28-23

    This place used to be nice and welcoming. Now there is a sign stating "no club patches or club colors" . Bartenders and bouncer have always been nice and provided a great service. I will not be back again.

    Good popcorn and good band. The 2 stars is because I asked for a Modelo and the bartender grabbed someone's water glass from the bar top, rinsed it with water, and then filled it with beer before handing it to me. Not the most sanitary place but what do you expect from Bonsall??

    This place truly is a gem. It's a lil ole country bar in Bonsall, Ca. Nothing special about it BUT the People, the Fun, the Drinks and the Bands. Sometimes you'll even catch a horse tied up out front that someone rode in on. If ever in the Bonsall, Ca. are give it a try. You'll be glad you did! Frankie G

Now mind you, I don't give out 5 stars very often, but Backdraft deserves all five of them. Cool, friendly and attentive wait staff, every time we have been. Nice back area with seating is great with the nice weather. Vast selection of food options is great for many people, even finicky, picky people that you don't really like, but have to meet because your friend likes her. That's not the case today, but just saying. Also, the fire fighter theme is great and fun with the names of the food. Anyhoo, we ordered the Smoke Alarm Brussel Sprouts appy and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked sprouts, goat cheese, mustard drizzle. Not a huge portion, but was great for the two of us to share and still be hungry for lunch. The Biz Partner ordered a medium Code Blue pizza to have some to take home. The pizza is marinara, mozzerella, blue cheese crumbles, grilled steak, grilled onions, cilantro and house made. BBQ sauce. I did not try any, but he loved it and had enough leftover for him and his girlfriend for dinner! It was a LARGE medium pizza. Speaking of large. I picked the Hotshot Italian Sub and decided to get the 12" so I could also take some home, figuring I would eat the 6" if I just ordered that. Now, I did not measure it, but when it came out, it did not seem like 12", you know like SW "foot long". It was cut into 4 huge pieces and each seemed like 1/2 a SW large sub. I ended up eating only one of the 4 portions that arrived. Ate it for lunch the next two days! The Hotshot is a great italian sub, one of my favorite sandwiches. It is Honey Smoked Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, smeared with mustard and mayo and then drizzled with Greek Style house dressing. I ordered it hot and on a white roll (the only way it should be prepared! IMHO). Damn fine sandwich and at "12 feet" long (ha, ha!) it feeds a bunch of people or me for three lunches. Service is so good and attentive. The waitress got her workout refilling my diet cokes as after eating we stayed and did some business. She always checked on us and did not care how long we stayed. So awesome, I wish I had gotten the names of the servers. This was Tuesday, 3/24/26 at noon. So, you know who you are! GO! EAT WELL!! BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

A little bit too spicy for me but the flavor was excellent. I had the Code 3 burger. Big burger which consisted of pork belly, angus chuck and short rib meat. It had grilled pineapple, jalapeños, green peppers and onions, lettuce, and tomato drizzled with raspberry chipotle sauce. It was spicy with a little bit of sweet. It came with french fries which were very tasty and seasoned perfectly. I've never seen french fries quite like this. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the burger. My daughter ordered a chicken Caesar wrap which isn't on the menu, but they made it for her anyway. Super nice of them to do that. It was a lot of food and we were all happy with stuffed bellies.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful -- from the ceremony space to the reception area, everything felt well-maintained, thoughtfully designed, and picture-perfect. From the very beginning of the planning process, the Fallbrook Estate team made everything feel organized and manageable. Communication was consistent, timelines were clearly laid out, and their structured planning process helped make the entire journey as stress-free as possible. We worked with multiple planners throughout the process, and overall the team was professional, responsive, and helpful in guiding us through each step. On the wedding day, our coordinator ensured that we, as the couple, were taken care of and that the day stayed on track. The staff worked hard behind the scenes to keep things moving smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy our celebration. We also want to acknowledge the service staff who supported our reception -- from the servers to the bartenders and kitchen team -- who helped ensure our guests were well fed and taken care of throughout the night. Booking with Fallbrook Estate made wedding planning significantly easier, and the beauty of the venue paired with the professionalism of the team made it a wonderful place to get married. We would absolutely recommend Fallbrook Estate to couples looking for a gorgeous venue with an experienced planning team.

    This was our first time staying at Pala Mesa Golf Resort, and overall it was a pleasant experience…read more The room was very beautiful, extremely clean, and the king-size bed was large and comfortable. Check-in was easy, and the staff was very nice and welcoming. There were a couple of minor issues that affected our stay. The sliding glass door is a bit dated and had a gap that allowed cold air and outside noise into the room. It felt like sleeping with a window open, and my face and ears became noticeably cold. I was thankful I had packed a thermal and jogging suit, which helped keep me warm. I was eventually able to find a temporary solution by placing a pillow against the door and pushing the desk forward to help block the draft. Parking was also a bit challenging on the second night. The first night went perfectly, as the front desk gave clear directions and we were able to park at Building F1 by the stairs. After returning from a concert around 1:00 a.m. the second night, parking F1 was full, and I had to park farther away between Buildings F3 and F4. Walking back late at night in the cold felt uncomfortable and scary. I did mention the sliding glass door issue to the front desk, but there were no other king-size suites available. Despite these small challenges, the room itself was lovely and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. We found a cockroach in the bathroom around 1:30 AM on…read moreour second night, which made us uncomfortable using the bathroom. We reported the issue to the hotel the following morning, but the front desk staff brushed us off and told us to contact Expedia. We provided photo evidence with timestamps, but Expedia reported that the property refused to offer any refund or compensation. I understand that issues can happen at any hotel, but cleanliness and customer service should be a priority -- particularly for a venue hosting weddings and special events. The lack of accountability in handling the situation was extremely disappointing.

My only qualm would be that the cash only system is outdated, it is 2025 we need to be able to accept credit and debit cards. Otherwise I would come and visit much more often.

The wait staff are VERY kind and COURTEOUS. Thank you! However the DJ is kind of a d!ck, and by that I mean a complete A-hole. He selectively chooses who he will allow to sing at karaoke and who he will not allow. And I am one that he will not allow. He only plays one type of music, which is old school hip hop, which I do not mind, but is just a pre-made setlist and he has no interest in playing music people actually want to hear, he just does his own thing and ignores everybody else. So I think you need to get rid of that guy John, who does the music, he is not nice to anyone and treats them all like garbage. Other than that it's a great place.
