    Three of my friends and I spent an early afternoon at the Veranda Restaurant celebrating my friend's birthday! The atmosphere was heavenly, the food delicious and the service top notch!

    Lovely place. Whenever I can get a reservation around lunch time I try and book this place. It's so beautiful to have lunch here and walk around the gardens. Already made reservations for next month!

    Married under that gazebo 20yrs ago, visited for brunch this weekend.

    Veranda didn't exist when my wife and I got married at Grand Tradition back in 2004. Decided to enjoy a brunch at Veranda on the weekend of our 20th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. Obviously, the scenery was fantastic. Sitting on the back porch of the main facility, looking over the heart shaped lake and gazebo where we said our vows 20yrs ago. Good was also great. My wife ordered the French toast, crispy yet soft bread with a creamy marscapone and blueberries. I ordered the burger even though it was only 10a. The homemade chips were delicious and the bbq sauce and bacon combo on the burger was the perfect of salty and sweet. Staff was friendly and professional, fast and responsive. Never felt pressure to hurry and they allowed us to enjoy our food and our walk down memory lane. Weather was perfect, staff was great (thanks Karina!), food was delicious and was priced very well! Highly recommend!

    I used to work here before they had this restaurant, and so of course I had to come back and try their food out and boy was I amazed and blown away!! It was all so good I was only able to get a picture of the dessert But everything was delicious! The dessert was the captain crunch bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and captain crunch crumbs on top! It wasn't too sweet, and was full of flavor! Idk if they still have it, but I hope they do! The service was amazing' so attentive and friendly. It's mostly like a tea house vibe, fancy/casual. It's a gorgeous view from the balcony overlooking the heart lake. Definitely recommend it!

    Another great brunch at the Veranda at the Grand Tradition. We love this place! It really is a special treat. The manicured ground, friendly and attentive wait staff, and always delicious food. This place has the best of everything, and always amazes us at the end how reasonable the check is! We look forward to our next visit!

    Let me start off by saying, the setting and backdrop of this restaurant is nothing short of spectacular. Such a great place to take pictures and enjoy a serene walk around the pond. The staff was very friendly, even though we walked in and didn't have a reservation. Nor were we dressed for the occasion. I love that they give you a little starter plate of fresh fruit and veggies - it was so nice! We came for birthday dessert, and was not disappointed! Ordered the lemon berry mascarpone cake, and the flourless chocolate torte and wow... absolutely delicious. I couldn't decide which one I enjoyed more. The flourless chocolate cake was perfectly chocolate-y, and the lemon cake was super moist, the right amount of lemon-y, and not too sweet. We didn't order any other food items, but based on the tables around the burger and salads looked pretty tasty! If you're in the area, I would definitely check this place out!

    My friends and I came here in a Thursday around 11am and were thoroughly impressed. The grounds here are just lovely! The food was great and all 5 of us are eager to come back. Service was wonderful and prompt. The ambiance on the patio with the view of the lake was perfect. Would definitely recommend dining here!

    Accidentally found this place while looking for brunch restaurant, it was a good find! We got lucky to get reservation for a Sunday brunch. Food is good, the whipped mascarpone is amazing. Service is excellent! The view is amazing! It doesn't feel like you're in Fallbrook .

    Love The Veranda restaurant!! We had our wedding rehearsal brunch here and everything was amazing! The food really good and they were very accommodating with the time and number of people attending. Such a pretty view as well!

    This hidden gem in Fallbrook is our current favorite breakfast/brunch spot! We live in nearby Temecula and take the short trip to Fallbrook whenever we can. The food is very reasonably priced, and the beignets are a must! Of course, you can't talk about The Veranda without mentioning the 18 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. There is large lake, 7 gorgeous waterfalls, and flowers everywhere! So after you enjoy your meal, you can burn off a few of those calories by taking a stroll throughout the garden. The only downside? Tables are limited, so reservations are absolutely required. For popular times like Saturday morning at 11:00 am, you have to book weeks in advance!

    Is this place kid friendly?

    This small shops serves up some really good barbecue. Hot tip: Come earlier in the day, if you…read morecan. Like at most BBQ places, they may run out of certain foods later in the day. You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.

Chicken tender n juicy and bun just big enough to enjoy chicken/bun ratio. Comes with 2 different bbq sauces on the side. Both great combo of flavors. Potato salad with unpeeled potatoes is how I enjoy it so was perfect for me. Staff very helpful. Ample seating indoor/outdoor but depending on wind blowing outside you may get smoke on your face from their smoker with outdoor seating. Smells really good though!
