    Indoor dining area -- John Wayne wall photo.

    Service was great -- our waiter Isaiah was attentive and attractive in his western hat. Food delicious. Seating either indoor or outside. Ambiance very western with a big photo of John Wayne inside. We opted for a late breakfast which did not disappoint. We'll be back.

    On a rainy, blustery February day, we were visiting Temecula old town, looking for a place to have a late breakfast. As usual, most places were packed with waiting lines 20-30 minutes long for a table. Then we spotted Rodeo Cafe. I know what you're saying: If there was no line out must not be a great place to eat. I had the same initial thought, but it turns out we were both wrong, my friend. There was no line at Rodeo Cafe, covered Ava heated patio seating available immediately, and only a 5 minute wait for a table inside. We waited, and they ushered us in to a warm spot where we could await our table being prepared. While we waited, literally every employee who passed us by greeted us, acknowledged that we were waiting, and assured us our table was nearly ready. But the good service didn't stop there. We were led to our table and provided excellent service there as well by Malorie. She was pleasant, friendly, and very helpful. Our meals were delicious, and beautifully arranged. And the prices were more than reasonable. Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices. I know where we're coming back to when we visit again!

    Absolutely love this place! I've been going to the foothill location for a few years now and it's become my favorite breakfast spot. I was so excited to hear that they were making a location in Old Town Temecula! The food is amazing as always and the servers are so sweet. I can't wait to come back!

    Portions were humongous! I literally had to take half my plate home. This was a great brunch place to eat at after a night of drinking. My huevos rancheros plate with red sauce was yummy. Super filling! Good service. Free parking at the public garage.

    Super cute decorations for the holidays and the staff were all really friendly! I love that the patio area was dog friendly and brought our dog a water bowl while we were dining. The food was really good! The flavor was good and it was nice large portions! The green chilaquiles were delicious and the rodeo potatoes are a must try!

    Cowboy Salad with steak

    My friend and I came here for dinner and the food was just ok, nothing that I would come back for. I had the Cowboy Salad and the steak had an odd texture. I did have a hiccup with being overcharged, but they were prompt to address the situation. Breakfast seems to be their jam, so I might come back for that.

    I love their breakfast! Generous with portions, tasty, and great price. Fast and friendly service. Enjoyed the outdoor dining especially on the weekend, can't beat a good breakfast and the old town vibe! Staff were attentive and courteous. Looking forward to my next visit.

    We had family visiting so we decided to try Rodeo cafe. The patio area is good sized and was decorated very fun for Dia de las Muertos. Located in Old Town Temecula, parking is recommended at one of the public parking areas like the parking garage near city hall. I had waffles, eggs and sausage, it was delicious. Coffee refills kept coming, the service was great. I'd definitely go back.

    Beef taquitos

    This is a solid Mexican Restaurant. Came here after a long golf outing. The cocktails are delicious, especially a cold blended margarita. Ordered the taquitos and beer-battered shrimps. Staffs were attentive and friendly. Got all our orders correct.

    Chilaquiles
    David S.

    Wow, wow, wow!! First off, the service was excellent--thank you to the hostess and my server. The chilaquiles were AMAZING. Perfectly crispy, and then topped with that incredible meat sauce. Truly outstanding. Thank you for bringing back childhood memories of chilaquiles.

    Rodeo Cafe is located in a prime spot in Old Town right across the street from 1909. I was excited to try the food because I read good reviews and the interior decor looked charming, especially for the Christmas holiday. It is rodeo themed with horse saddles on display and barrels as part of the decor and furniture. The facility was kept clean and the service was great. Unfortunately the food was very mediocre at best. The chicken fried steak looked like a processed meat patty, and the green chilaquiles were just okay in flavor. The best part of our meal were the potatoes and the hash browns. There was also a small strand of hair in my food. I wish the food was more appealing because the service, atmosphere, and location were great.

    Today was my first time here, and I got to say this place was Fantastic!! Food was Amazing! I was very surprised to hear that they serve breakfast until 3pm. Im Always missing breakfast at restaurants because I love to sleep in on my weekends! I had a Bloody Mary and that was perfect too!! They gave me a Rose for mother's day which I thought that was very sweet! I asked about their Menudo and they brought me put a small bowl to try! Bomb!! Service was Great! Everyone was Pretty attentive!! Clean restroom!! I will definitely be back!!

    I am so glad this place replaced BEGOOD. I thought begood was overly priced and I didn't care for their selections. We had the 1/2 lb burger and it was huge and big enough for both myself and wife to split. We got it with Fries and paid $6 extra for side salad. Everything was good...its nice to find at least one place where you can sit off front street without killing the wallet. 1909 is fine, but the menu and "vibe" is a little "preppy" for my liking. Rodeo Cafe's steaks and burgers at a reasonable price is much more up my alley. The food was good and prices were reasonable, but nothing stood out yet....will try more next time we go...but for now this is our go-to to replace 1909 when we want the oldtown vibe. We of course stopped by the ice cream cone place on our way home. While I may suggest the restaurant is "nothing to write home about", it is in a prime location of old town temecula. When we want that "vibe", it is currently our "go to" for that purpose. I like "Swing Inn" better, but this is at a better location, and nice for a change, and much prefer it to the 1909 menu and preppy feel, and think the prices are much better too.

    Absolutely the best Bloody Mary I've had in a while. I came in after a Spartan Race, starving and…read moreready to eat everything in sight--and this place delivered. Not only was the Bloody Mary on point, but the food was incredible. We started with the ahi tuna, which was fresh and flavorful. The barn burger was amazing, and the eggs Benedict were just as impressive. On top of that, the service was excellent. It was my first time here, and I was not disappointed. Great food, great drinks, and great service all around.

    I was unimpressed by this place. I came here from san diego bc of all the pictures of good food!…read more Especially the octopus! Its too bad I came for brunch. Brunch lasts until 2pm and then from 2pm to 245pm they serve only appetizers. Lmao. Thats certainly interesting. Aesthetically this place is gorgeous. I love that they are dog friendly and it wasnt too hot today at the patio. I got the bloody mary to start and it was pretty good. The bacon in it was amazing, however, it didnt taste like 2 shots. The drink was thick but the flavor was still good. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon. This very small meal was 20$. I got a lox bagel and 4 huge pieces of smoked salmon with capers and a side of avocado a few days ago in Vegas on the strip and that was 16$. Sooooooo... how is this justifiable? Anyways, I also ordered a diet coke and they came out with a mini can. Talk about why this place is called "small" barn. Lol! The server stated the can is super small bc its only 2$. Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end. She said "have a good day" in an oddly, irritated way when I paid with my card. Oh wells. Ill come here for the desserts! And perhaps ill give other things a try

The hot chicken sandwich had great flavor with just the right amount of heat, the KBBQ sliders were packed with savory goodness, and the Korean corn dog was crispy, cheesy, and so satisfying. The tea drinks were the perfect complement to the meal. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. This was our first visit, and we're already talking about what we want to order next time. So many items on the menu look amazing, and we can't wait to come back and try more. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious Korean-inspired comfort food in Temecula!

First off, we stood in line for nearly 30 minutes to order because your person at the front that is taking orders is also the bartender as well. Maybe consider having some self ordering kiosks to cut back on the wait time? Your employee was friendly and helpful, although she was coughing everywhere, was touching the trash can while making drinks and then proceeded to grab a spoon from the sink that was labeled "dump only" to make my drink. I was extremely taken aback with this. Your waitress delivering the food had a HUGE attitude issue which was so confusing to me because we were very nice to her. We chose a table in the back and we even joked around with her when she tried to pass us off orders that were not ours. When our food finally came out (we ordered the bulgogi nachos and the sweet and spicy wings) she slammed the metal trays down at our table, not once, not twice, but THREE times because they got our order wrong and my husband had to go return a tray. We also waited about 30 minutes for our food. We were shocked and the family next to us was also startled with the rude treatment we received. The food was not good, it had no semblance to Korean anything for us, the sauces were odd tasting and I had an upset stomach immediately after. The family next to us we overheard them saying they enjoyed their corn dogs, but would not be back. We did not enjoy our food, nor the service and we wouldn't be back as well. I wanted to give the owner a heads up on our way out that I would be leaving this review, but he was busy back in the kitchen. I guess it's a moot point since we aren't returning anyway, the service alone was a total turn off, we paid $70 for two dishes and two drinks to be treated so poorly, disappointed in every aspect of this one and done visit.

The first five minutes of the dinner were pleasant with instructions to order via QR code (no problem). However the issues with service were apparent immediately. Orders were placed for refreshments, appetizers, waters, etc. Within 20 mins food began to be delivered with no names/descriptions of the beverage or plate being delivered. 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. Many members of our party had their dinner with NO refreshments. We actually ended up serving ourselves our drinks from a dispenser located outside... we also ended up refilling our own drinks Our water was finally brought out at the end of dinner.. It was the worst service I have EVER had. What a shame.
