    Alcohol is a winner with KBBQ.
    Jeff M.

    Friendly staff with efficient service. JR took care of us by giving suggestions for sauces with each dish. Our side dishes were endless while JR was attentive to our needs. Great ambient environment with music. Family friendly. Did I mention they serve alcohol? 5 stars for the service.

    Whisky selection

    Awesome selection of whisky - if you are looking for something unique- they have it. Beer tap is also brand new.

    Banchan

    This place was pretty good, considering the area. I'm from the San Diego, where Convoy is the main staple for Korean barbecue. Went here on Christmas Day and there were about 4 other families enjoying Christmas dinner here, so it wasn't too busy or loud. Our server was super nice and attentive. The meat itself was okay. The brisket was thick and chewy. The pork belly was good and the short rib was the star of the show. Not sure if it's because it was Christmas, but the rice paper was pretty dry. Also, the drinks are HUGE: maybe 32-40oz, so getting a soda here is worth it.

    Such a cute spot! This place has really improved a lot since new management took over . Everything is so delish ! Temecula needed a spot like this. The service was friendly and impressively fast, and the inside has a really cozy, inviting vibe. Meat quality is there ! Also I tried the Korean tacos and they were a 1000/10--seriously, some of the best I've ever had. The bulgogi and spicy pork . So flavorful!

    It's been a long time since I tried a KBBQ place I actually liked lol. They serve a lot of meat and endless banchan. Everything was tasty and good quality. Our server was attentive, often checking in, and quick with refills on drinks and banchan, also he was like super handsome lol! The restaurant itself was clean, tidy, a good layout, and cozy, family friendly. The complimentary scoop of ice cream did it for me. Definitely will return.

    Beautiful spot

    I only heard of this place when I saw on instagram that actor Dean Norris purchased it. He has…read moreplayed many roles but I know him as DEA Agent Hank Schrader on the show Breaking Bad. What attracted me was the Texas Style BBQ and I've read plenty of positive reviews saying the BBQ is legit. Last Saturday on July 4th we made our way to Temecula to dine at the Swing Inn Cafe & BBQ. The town was packed due to a 250th birthday celebration parade. The parade blocked us from getting to the restaurant. We had to wait until it was over which was like 20 minutes. At the hostess station we were advised it would be a 45 minutes wait for a party of 5. The place was busy with customers but the employees did an excellent job in providing great service. 20 minutes later we were seated outside. There were six parties ahead of us but they didn't show when called. Guess they got tired of waiting. I ordered a full rack of the pork spare ribs with smoked beans as my one side. But when I got my food I had an extra side of smoked beans. The ribs were tender, thick and the meat came of the bone easily. It had a nice smokey taste and the smoked beans complimented the meat. I have to admit one of the best spare pork ribs I had in my life. My mom got the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes and gravy. The chicken fried steak was seasoned well and very tender. My step dad ordered Large Brisket plate with coleslaw. And my brother and sister in law both got the 2 meat plate with smoked turkey and brisket with sides of macaroni and cheese and smoked beans. The beef brisket and smoke turkey was very good according to my family. For dessert I got the cinnamon roll a popular item, step dad and mom shared a slice of apple pie and my brother got the coconut cream pie. Everything was very sweet and delicious. We were hoping to catch Dean but I figured he was probably spending time with family on this holiday. We will return and hopefully he will be there so we can let him know how much we loved his food and acting.

I ordered a plate to share with my party, with 3 meats and 2 sides. I was so bummed they were out of brisket and hot links. So we had to improvise and got pastrami, ribs and pulled pork.

Our server was very knowledgeable, nice, attentive and super friendly! I recommend sitting outside, the vibe is super cool seeing the beautiful old town of Temecula.

I chose the walk-up, self-service ordering area instead of the full-service dining room, and I'm really glad I did. The woman who took my order was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Since it was my first visit, I had a few questions, and she took the time to explain the menu and recommend some of her favorites without making me feel rushed. Her suggestions were spot on and really made my decision easy. I ordered the Rib Tickler and also decided to add their Link & Drink special. I normally wouldn't have ordered the sausage, but I'm so glad I did! It was smoky, juicy, and reminded me of a really good kielbasa. It ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. The onion rings were perfectly crispy, the BBQ was flavorful, and the portions were huge. I only ate about a quarter of my meal before I was completely full, so I'll easily get two or three meals out of it. The restaurant was clean, there was plenty of parking, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for a casual BBQ spot with generous portions, friendly service, and delicious food, Phil's BBQ is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

I ordered the loaded brisket fries, 1 lb or moist brisket, 1/2 lb or burnt ends. The loaded fries were awesome and fresh crispy fries with 3 nice pieces of moist brisket on top. Highly recommend Burnt ends - my all time favorite and hard to get at a true BBQ place as they go fast as true burnt ends are limited. These did not disappoint and were spot on. Brisket - I like moist was real real tender and had a great flavor. We also had a side of the brisket baked beans and those babies were amazing.

The sliders were decent but did not live up to the price in either taster or portion. The baked beans lacked flavor and seemed watered down.

The service was okay because the gentleman working seemed nice but he appeared to be the only waiter in the whole place and was definitely overwhelmed. The place was wide open and pretty much all outdoors so it's cool for a bar but not great for a dinner date. All of this gave me the impression Steinerhaus would be better suited as a bar serving bar food. If those are your expectations you'll probably be okay. If you're looking for a great bbq place to have a date night, this ain't it.

For some reason, I just never made it back here; probably because the Promenade area isn't usually along our route. Coming here tonight genuinely brightened my day. I had just finished a long shift and a commute, and all I wanted was a good, comforting meal. My nutritionist told me yesterday need to significantly increase my protein intake to help reduce muscle loss related to my autoimmune thyroid condition. KBBQ seemed like the perfect choice; lots of protein without a lot of unnecessary junk. On my way home, I stopped at two other KBBQ restaurants. Apparently, I was unaware of the unspoken rule that some places don't serve parties of one on weekends. One restaurant even had me wait 25 minutes before telling me they wouldn't seat a solo diner during the weekend. Unfortunately, my husband is currently deployed, so being a party of one isn't exactly a choice for me right now! Normally, dining alone doesn't bother me at all, but today it got to me. I was exhausted and simply wanted a comforting meal. Being turned away after waiting 25 minutes just because I by myself was the last thing I needed. When I called this restaurant, the owner or manager immediately answered and was incredibly friendly. He explained that they offer entrée and plate options for guests who aren't doing the all-you-can-eat menu. I honestly don't understand why more restaurants don't offer this. I know the food industry is competitive and businesses have to make money, but having options for solo diners makes such a difference. When I arrived, I received wonderful service right away, and there was no wait, but they were full. The owner or manager recognized me as the person who had called earlier and went out of his way to make me feel welcome since we found out we're from the same area. He even added a little surprise to my order simply out of kindness. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. In an area with no shortage of restaurants, I want to give this place the credit it deserves, not only for the excellent food, but for the heart behind the business. Today, I'm especially grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to me. You never know what someone may be going through, and a simple act of thoughtfulness can make a bigger impact than you realize. His kindness truly lifted my spirits after a long and difficult day. I believe this is a small family-owned business, and they absolutely deserve the support of the community. Great food is easy to find; genuine hospitality is much harder to come by. I'll definitely be back!
