“A Hidden Gem Near Welk Resort – Don’t Let the Renovations Fool You!

While staying at the Welk Resort—which isn’t exactly known for its dining options—my husband and I ventured just a couple miles down the road to Oaks Bar and Grill, and we’re so glad we did.

The first thing you’ll notice is the fluttering BBQ signs that help you spot the place easily. The restaurant is currently undergoing renovations, and admittedly, the interior atmosphere might not immediately draw you in—but trust me, persevere. The food more than makes up for it.

For dinner on Mother's Day, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries and, on a fellow patron’s recommendation, the potato salad. I’m usually not a “double potato” person, but I’m so glad I listened. The pork was perfectly tender, lightly sauced so the flavor of the meat shone through, and incredibly satisfying.

My husband went for the Korean BBQ options on the menu and ordered the bulgogi plate with fried rice and kimchi. We were both blown away by the taste and quality—so much so that we decided to return the next day. The kimchi was so good.

On our second visit (for breakfast around 10:00am!), the chef—who seemed to be a Korean mama and clearly knows what she's doing—recommended the spicy Korean pork. We both ordered it, and it was nothing short of phenomenal.

We also ordered take-out bulgogi and kimchi to take home for dinner! It was nicely packed up and excellent reheated.

There’s also a full bar onsite, and during the day, the space seems to serve as part of the golf course pro shop. While the setting may still be in transition, the food here is next-level and truly makes Oaks Bar & Grill a hidden gem in the area. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“We had such a lovely breakfast experience at the Garden Center Cafe & Restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to Oracio. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing, and his positive attitude really stood out.

Our food came out quickly, everything was fresh and delicious, and Oracio checked in at just the right times to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to come across service that feels this natural and kind.

He truly made our morning feel special. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we hope to be served by him again!“

“Been eating breakfast from Pegah's for awhile thru Doordash. Great homestyle food. Good eggs Benedict. Thanks to the Chef. ?“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“Always friendly and welcoming 🥰“

“Glad I've been introduced me to this place!! Great beer, people, location, and food! Favorite wings in town!! Bring your pups as they have a front patio too!!“

“Islands is one of those iconic chain restaurants that has truly stood the test of time, consistently delivering mouthwatering dishes that keep customers coming back for more. Our experience was made even better by our server, Nina, who was simply fantastic. She made sure we had everything we needed, seamlessly enhancing our dining experience.

We kicked things off with a heaping plate of nachos, and let me tell you, they were a game-changer. Picture crispy chips generously smothered in gooey melted cheese, topped with fresh tomatoes, zesty jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, creamy guacamole, and a side of flavorful salsa. Each bite was a delight, especially with the extra cheese that pooled on the plate, perfect for scooping up with the bottom chips.

The drinks were nice and cold, hitting the spot. Then came our two burgers, cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor. And what better way to wrap up such a delicious meal than with a rich, decadent mud pie? It was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience.

With impeccable service, scrumptious food, and prices that won’t break the bank, Islands continues to impress—making it a must-visit spot for any burger lover!

Vegetarian options: Almost every menu item can be made vegetarian.

Parking: The oversized parking lot is shared with the other businesses. But there always seems to be enough parking spaces.“

“The food is wonderful, plentiful and the service is excellent. The breadsticks and a side of marinara is a great start.“

“You will not be disappointed by this decision. Artisan Deli that knows how to produce the best sandwiches I have tasted. Kourtney was friendly and kind that made us feel at home. Great music to just relax and enjoy time with friends and family.“

“Love their burgers. Cooked to perfection. One of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Burgers were great, place is fun, people here having fun. Love the music too. Glad to have found this place. 🥰🥰🥰. Will definitely come back.“

“Food is good however, I ordered my Eggs Bene pouched medium to hard they came super loose - yuck. They don’t tell you the potatoes are made with red potatoes- yuck. Lastly, the outside patio is filthy. Really really gross sticky.“

“We love Bar Meets Grill! The food is always spectacular especially when Carlos is the chef on duty and the service is ALWAYS top notch. Everyone is so welcoming and attentive from Miriam at the front to Behrouz bringing the bread, singing Happy Birthday with his beautiful voice and bussing tables to almost all of the servers….Stephen, Tiffany, Sean…everyone is incredible there. We had the pleasure of having Stephen for our waiter for our Valentines date with our daughter and he is always exceptional and accommodating! The jumbo shrimp cocktail was delicious and the steaks flavor was amazing. Best desserts too especially the flourless chocolate cake (highly recommend)! This is always our go to restaurant whether is for a date night or even taking our kids out in their birthdays( it is all 3 of our kids favorite restaurant). Thanks to everyone at Bar Meets Grill for always making us feel so welcome and taking the best care of us consistently!“

“We were there a couple of weeks ago. We like coming here because we like the food & drinks. This particular day Rocky was our server. She stood out, her customer service was outstanding! Although she was extremely busy, she brought out everything promptly & was kind with each interaction. This made our experience pleasant, Rocky Rocks!“

“My favorite employee left. She was like my second mom.Breakfast is where it's at. Lunch is so-so. Best food you can get for the price. Staff is 99% awesome except for the one person who is grumpy to everyone and will undercook your eggs if you really tick her off. Regular omelette lady is 10/10.One of the best chow halls I've eaten at in 18 years of service. (DFACs don't count).“

“I had a good experience at chilis good service good food“

“My Brother and I visited the Oceanside CA Texas Roadhouse and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service provided by our waitress DANIELLE. Thanks to her expert menu recommendations we ordered and enjoyed some awesome drinks, appetizers and of course some exquisite entrees. This is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Danielle’s high customer service skills enabled a warm and welcoming environment!“

“Visiting from Alabama and we love the Fallbrook Coffee Co! The butterscotch caramel latte is delicious and the homemade muffins and scones are amazing. The staff is so friendly. The inside is clean and cozy. The koi pond is awesome and it's relaxing to sit next to it and enjoy the morning weather without all the humidity from home. We will definitely be back when we come to visit“

“Love this place, try to come once a week. Dog friendly and kid friendly with great staff and great quality food“

“Was in town visiting family and they took me here. Unbelievably good! The margarita pizza was spot on with fresh cut ingredients. I will definitely return next time I’m in town.“

“We just had our monthly Vietnam Veterans breakfast group at this restaurant this morning for the first time. What a great experience. First with the manager Angelica for making it happen when I approached her a week prior to the meeting and she made the accommodations. To our waiter Kevin who was so gracious and patient with all 20 of us. It was an a hit with us all. We have found a new home for our breakfast date. Look forward to next month. Thank you all at Black Bear for putting up with us vets. Jon Anderson“

“Classic older diner experience with a good variety of food and everything was delicious! We went for breakfast and got the chicken fried steak, classic eggs Bennie and the 2,2,2 plate with French toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be going back!“
