Amazing service, staff, food and drinks. They always go out of their way to make your dining experience great. Can’t say enough good things.

Poor quality food some possibly spoiled. To be generous the service was mediocre.
The rest of the review is for the owners information.
Very disappointed. I saw good reviews but that was not the experience we recieved. Ordered wings and the tomato (something) burger. My friend ordered a bacon burger. The wings were bad. The texture was off....very rubbery. I was so hungry i managed to eat two before i realized they actually smelled off as well. My friend tried one and couldn't eat it. At that moment our burgers arrived so I pushed the wings aside and hoped for the best. We had asked for an upgrade to the Euro Fries (or something). The way they were described i actually expected them to have a little more dill. That didn't matter though because the fries themselves were wrinkled and soggy. It seemed like they were cooked hours or possibly even days beforehand and then reheated. I ate a couple but couldn't tolerate any more. I took a bite or two of my burger. Neither the texture or the taste was very pleasant. However, to give you the benefit of the doubt I had already lost my appetite due to the horrible fries and wings. My friend found hers to be no better. I thought about complaining but I didn't want to add to the misery of the experience by having to tell someone their food was garbage when they already knew exactly what they had served. It wasn't a mistake. It was bad enough that there was no way whoever plated it didn't already know. Besides the server should have known something was wrong when we asked we asked for the check when the vast majority of our food was untouched. The service was also somewhat awkward and inattentive. If you'd like specifics, feel free to contact me. This was on Friday September 5th around 2:40 - 3:30

I visited this establishment today for lunch. The food was the worst I've experienced in years.

We sat in a corner, where we were bombarded by flies. They landed on our meal several times, raising concerns about the cleanliness of the place.

The chicken wings we ordered were inedible and not cooked fully.

The $27 bacon bbq burger was also inedible. Sloppy presentation, poor quality ingredients, heavy and greasy.

Neither my friend nor I took more than a bite of our burgers.

We were never asked how the food was. The server did not question that we did not eat more than a bite from our plates. Service was so slow that my friend ultimately had to walk the check up himself. The place was nearly empty, and we had tried to flag down the server multiple times without success.

The place is pretty, but the food and service are severely disappointing.

Was coming here for over a year now with my sister but never going back. Got sick and I feel it was intentional. Cook messed up our meal 2 times took over an hour with only 2 tables were present because it was before dinner around 4:30pm. Cook literally left my first burger black and staff was annoyed we had to take back. Then second came uncooked raw inside but outside also black charred. Waitress told me I should eat it like that bc it’s good meat…..NO. Got a piece of rag according to waitress in my fries! A rag they use to clean. Serious violation. Waitress kept saying well I comped your meal but I was thinking I never got to eat even after an hour of waiting! She told me it was my fault for taking it back…. Wow! It wasn’t cooked properly. I took the last attempt of a burger home and a few hours later began to vomit with terrible stomach pain. At restaurant I requested manager contact they gave me an email which no one responds from. I emailed twice. I wasn’t planning on leaving this review hoping manager would make things right and fix things but no reply! Maybe because I got sick? Probably a fake email! The managers hide in the shadows and owners so good luck if you have an issue with your food. You’ll have to wait a long time. Been going for a year but it got worse …..If you don’t want to get sick or have flies flying all over your food don’t go because they fly inside the place. We swatted 5 flies during our meal. I asked for door to be shut due to all the flies bothering us and waitress told me why? They will still be flies……she also told me a burger is cooked in 7 mins so we didn’t wait that long and I told her excuse me we been here for over an hour…if it takes 7 mins and no one is here ( only 2 tables and they already ate before us ) why haven’t I had dinner yet? I literally cried from the frustration and horrible experience. Who knows if that thing in my fries was part of a rag it looked horribe about one inch long and hairy. I wish I took a photo of it but the waitress took it. She told me I’m not going to through my cook under the bus…I said no but you’ll be rude as hell to the customer and blame them….Never going back.

Do not recommend to eat, maybe just go for drinks. Ordered the $39 ribeye medium rare. Gets brought to the table and it is cut into strips just like the beef you get ordering fajitas at Chili's. Needless to say being prepared like that it was overcooked. The steak itself was thin, if it was even actually ribeye the grade of beef was subpar. The broccolini looked like they were something from Jack's magic bean stalk. The stems were thick as dry erase markers. The potatoes were fine. The waitress was expected to cover way too many tables, so through no fault of her own service was poor.

This place is STANKY!!

I know people have there days but this place has services there that seem to hate what they are doing. I have my bad days to and I still didn’t let this place ruin my night I went to another bar. I’ll be back here if I think I deserve bad service one day.

Horrible service, we left and will not be back and perhaps they will give someone else better service. We still had a great night at another place and I'll keep it a mystery but as for this place maybe you all will like again we are not coming back.

One of the best places to get a drink or food in Murrieta and Temecula. Staff is amazing and makes everything about this place that much better. Sitting outside when the weather is jusy right is well worth it,however inside the vibe is just as amazing! The smokehouse fries and a IPA are a great combo if you are looking for something quick but tasty!

Food was great. The tomato garlic appetizer was delicious 😋.
Honestly we felt largely ignored and inconvenient. We did not feel welcome at all. Not like this place is cheap so we expected better. Every time we said thank you the server she didn't say anything back until we were paying our bill. We wanted another cocktail and waited 15 minutes and had to wave our server down and decided to not get another drink. We left to go to another bar down the street, and the one place across the street. They provided much better service. Maybe I would get the food to go, but I will never sit down in that restaurant again.

I really enjoyed our visit to the public house for lunch. We were able to walk right in and get plenty of seating out in the patio area for our large group.
The portions are generous.
Most of the lunch fare was quite good, except for the fish taco. The fish was overcooked.
The restaurant was not busy, but our food did not come out together. Rather it came out in several phases with some having to wait nearly 10 minutes before they could eat to be polite.
I will still go back because I like the location and the uniqueness of this restaurant.
