“Upscale dining experience right in our own backyard! This will definitely be our new date night spot. Instead of driving to LA or SD, this great spot is right down the street from us. Recommend to make reservations as the wait time can be 2hrs+, which tells you a lot about this place! The owners/chefs personally come and deliver your food. So much creativity is shown in food presentation. I love it!“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Shelbee, who truly set the tone for a GREAT dining experience. She was INCREDIBLY friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at HOME. Her energy and professionalism were unmatched—she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and even checked in MULTIPLE times to make sure we were HAPPY.

The food was fresh and delicious, and the salad bar was well-stocked and clean. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the overall atmosphere was inviting. But what truly made our visit special was Shelbee’s exceptional service. She’s a gem, and Sizzler is lucky to have her!

If you’re looking for great food and top-tier service, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!“

Our Waitress Antonia, was extremely friendly & very attentive. I thank her for making us feel special & to the Cook for his great service!! ???

Parking: I am a handicap senior & sometimes is very limited. I was able to park right in front of the main entrance to the restaurant. I know that it sounds silly but when you have health issues, it matters.“

“The Cuban sandwich is THE BEST! It's always consistently delicious and very large so perfect for sharing. All of their food is made fresh and the staff are very sweet. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant and not chaotic.

Kid-friendliness: I've brought my 3 year old a few times and they have plenty of food options to please young children. The staff are so kind and understanding.“

“Love your unit in Wildomar Great employees & clean restaurant!!!❤️‍🩹💯“

“Wow!!! Pretty impressed with Yellow Basket! I have been driving past this place for years and a few months ago I decided to try it out. I went through the drive-thru and couldn’t help but notice that the inside looked pretty inviting, as I watched customers inside eating at their tables. My family enjoyed the burgers that day. We then went to dine in and have breakfast. I was pretty impressed with the cleanliness and the courteous employees. My family and I have made Yellow Basket our go to place to enjoy a good meal and a pleasant atmosphere!“

“We were first time visitors and we REALLY enjoyed our experience! Ms. Chelsea took care of us and was very kind and attentive! The menu is simple which means they take pride in creating the best food they can! Everything was delicious! We can’t wait to visit again!“

“It's one of those places you have to see to believe. But that's where the rubber meets the road. The food, while impressive in portions, can be a bit overbearing considering the flavors seem to clash when it comes to the chili fries, which I imagine is a staple item on their menu. Tomato, pickle, and cheese on fries with chili could have easily been a masterpiece if other options such as jalapenos, a nice sauce, or diced onions were available(and if they were, I was not informed).

Now for the sandwiches. They are great except for the barbeque sandwich, which was weird due to the meat choice and the sauce again clashed with the pallate. It would appear the French dip and some simple fries would be a safe bet. And still yummy.“

“Urbane Cafe in Menifee offers a solid dining experience with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is particularly pleasant on a cool day, though its proximity to the delivery zone can occasionally make conversations challenging.

Their menu is impressively inclusive, with plant-based options for vegans and meals catering to a variety of dietary needs. The food is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Combine that with friendly service, and it’s a place worth visiting.

Just be aware of the outdoor seating environment, but overall, Urbane Cafe delivers on taste, hospitality, and food options.

Dietary restrictions: Fits all diet types and they work with you.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the cost of the “specials” and can’t say enough good things about our waiter William. Very personable and great service.“

“This place is a National Treasure... so easy to just drive by -- don't make that mistake. Great food!!“

“Absolutely the best breakfast in Murrieta“

“Simply the BEST!! Bruno and Katherine are awesome partners who always have time for their customers and food! I look forward to seeing them each week and getting my favorites.

Kid-friendliness: They have a smile and laugh for everyone, especially the little ones.

Parking: Always at a great assessable place and plenty of space and a friendly hello to make your day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room and staff to assist in any way.“

“nice little spot located in Lake Elsinore. I love their fish and chips. The fish always comes to the table piping hot and the breading is light but crispy. The fish is very tender and flaky. If you little breakfast their biscuits and gravy are very good. and don't forget to try the coffee cake“

“Food was really good, and the frys are 🔥! Very generous portions.“

“Very friendly service, excellent prices for a large variety of options from menu.“

“My husband and I stopped for a quick lunch yesterday at Old Market Grill and were totally surprised at the quality of the sandwiches we order. We sat outside and enjoyed the outside seating. The price was totally reasonable and we can’t wait to visit there again.

Wheelchair accessibility: It was pretty easy to wheel into the patio area and other customers were quick to help move some chairs blocking my path. Highly recommend.“

“Red Robin. I have a love hate relationship with this location. Service has been iffy over the last 15 years. My thing is if you bring me a refill of soda without me asking you are good. That’s it. Recently it’s been better. But how did they come up with Red Robin the name? Was it created alongside the Chuck Entertainment Cheese Era? And they thought we need a freakin mascot or we will be left behind? They got together and said what has everyone loved since the beginning of time? Some said Family? No. Some said love? No. Then it was obvious. Red Robin’s. Everyone knows a lot about them and loves them. Chuck E Cheese was the premium bday setup when I was little. So much fun. Anyway. Red Robin’s. Great birds. Great burgers.“

“Everything ! Service ! Menue ! Prices! 😜😊😘“

“Unprofessional Behavior from staff , Evident descriminatory behavior for customer in drive thru, Extended unnecessary wait time in drive thru 10 min before acknowledging customer in drive through and order then another 20 minutes to wait for only a drink order only 1 car ahead of me no cars behind when asked for Managers name bullying customer would not give name and told should of come in. I chose drive thru for disability this is descrmination cost 1/4 tank of Gas to be treated unprofessionally, bullied and discriminated against and just out right ignored in all respects“

“Perris needed a coffee shop like this! The food and coffee are amazing!“

“Brunch: Soyrizo Hash Appetizer: Vegan Mac & Cheese Dinner: Linguine Arrabiatta A chic trendy full service restaurant, good for a sit-down meal. In addition to the natively vegan entrees, there’s a lunch burger with the option to sub impossible at no extra charge. (To veganize it ask them to omit the house sauce and cheese.)“

“Clean restaurant, I was greeted by Antonio and Claudia. I was picking up an order for family so I didn’t actually try the food but my family enjoyed their pancakes a lot so I figure it was tasty. Wait was short, prices were nice, and it was a very easy experience. Be careful when pulling into the lot for this IHOP, it looks like it has an entrance right off the road but that’s a bus stop.“

“I was decently surprised with the food given it's a skydiving facility. The drinks were good and the bartender was really nice. Definitely a great spot to catch a drink and bite after your jump or kill a few hours while waiting to watch someone else jump. They have plenty of seating“

“They have the best over all quality and price that I’ve found in the area. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken bowl, the chicken is grilled fresh right after placing your order. I feel like the price is such a great deal for the amount of fresh quality food you’re getting. Service is also excellent as well!“

“Fun place for music, networking events, fun atmospfere“

“Best wet burrito I have ever had!“
