    Lemonade
    Jasmin W.

    We were seated very quickly as it was not crowded at all. The lemonade was delicious as it is made in house. The Mac and cheese with chicken was something new I tried and really enjoyed it! Unfortunately it did make my bridesmaid sick as she ordered the same thing as me. Another one of my bridesmaids ordered salmon that she talked about the rest of our trip to Cali. She LOVED the salmon she said it was the best salmon she has had in a very very long time. The ambiance is cool with an old miner railroad town feel. The service was okay our server was nice but the one helping to serve the food was a little rude.

    Bread pudding with vanilla ice cream
    Cheri M.

    Came back here again when I visited my daughter. I know it's one of her favorites and it's pretty much one of mine when I go to Fallbrook. Cute place with good vibes. Our server took our order right away. Friendly guy. We ordered for the table pretzel bites. Omg those were really tasty melt in your mouth bites of heaven! It came with nacho cheese sauce I ordered the wedge salad with pesto chicken. I love wedge salads, and this was probably one of my favorites. It doesn't look too big until you actually cut it up and I only got the half salad, which is plenty especially since I got the chicken with it. We shared the bread pudding which was very good. Thank you Coal Bunker. My tummy did a happy dance

    Bunker Burger - delish!
    Nat P.

    Great food, friendly service ...a little slow to seat on weekends without a host/hostess (plus they can't see you waiting from dining room, so they seem to forget who and how long). Still, would return for a casual and cozy night out in Fallbrook with heartwarming food made from scratch.

    Chicken ranch stuffed avocado
    Austin W.

    They have a side kitchen at Fallbrook youth baseball fields. That's where I had the chicken stuffed avocado and when I say it was gone in 10 seconds flat, it was gone quick. The flavors with the ranch tasted amazing when I got there I got the last one or I would've bought about four more. If you're ever in the area or at Fallbrook youth baseball fields, you must try it. It's behind field three next to the snack bar.

    Tuscan Chicken
    Patty E.

    My first experience and will return. I had the Coal Bunker Burger. The burger was good. Cooked well, topped nicely standard farm to table style. But the showstopper was the wedge salad. The perfect amount of dressing and toppings. Crispy iceberg wedges. Can be ordered in half or full order. of The Tuscan chicken also had amazing flavors.

    Buffalo Chicken mac & cheese
    Thom H.

    A group of six of us were there today for lunch. The eating area was roomy, with not too many tables/chairs, so it was not crowded. There is a good mix of booths, tables, and high-top tables along with a bar. The beer selection is very extensive, with beers from all over, many of which I have not heard of. I had the buffalo chicken mac & cheese. It was very good. The noodles were not overdone and very tasty. I liked the chicken, but the spicy sauce overpowered the cheese. The flavor of the mac & cheese can easily stand by itself. Also, the serving size was perfect for me, I was satiated when I left. There are several other mac & cheese dishes, I look forward to returning to try the others. Mac & cheese is not just for kids anymore.

    Buffalo Mac N Cheese and Hotdog Mac N cheese
    Amber B.

    The Coal Bunker is an adorable and fun dining experience. It low key reminded me of Claim Jumper like the vibe just a little more updated. Food was delicious and you can tell it was made with love. The service was great. Can't wait to come back. Very happy customer.
