“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!“

“The busser here always lights up my day. He’s always in a great mood and greets everyone with genuine excitement, making you feel at home. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic experience. The food is good too. They still have the same booths and vibe as they did twenty years ago and I love the consistency. This place has become nostalgic for me. $24 for all this food, unlimited coffee, an orange juice, and fantastic service from the busser is pretty darn good.“

“10/10 will be returning and recommend to everyone!!! I have recently made big changes to my diet and this gem will now be my go to so I can stay on track. I had the Southwestern salad that had an amazing dressing and yummy chicken! We indulged and had the gluten free pumpkin muffins and when I tell you they were absolutely delicious.They also have an area for cornhole! Lots of seating and parking isn't an issue either. Take a friend or enjoy solo either way its a big YES!!!

“This is one of the best decisions I have made. I had been very sketchy about credit repair. I thought it was a big lie and always had bad impressions and said negative comments, but my doubt was cleared when my friend Jolene recommended Metronet Credit Solution. A team of experienced credit experts that are always on standby to help. I them about my predicament and they promised to help. Within 11days they removed all negative accounts and cleared every negative item from all three credit-reporting bureaus, (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax) and raised my credit score to 790’s from the initial 589 and also added some positive trade line. I’ve got my new car thanks to the team at metronet for helping me qualify for an auto loan. I highly recommend metronet for any credit related issues. You can reach them on +12055183032 .“

“The best staff and good people ❤️“

“Outstanding Campfire Feast as always! Jumbo Shrimp were hugs and delicious! Prime Rib cooked to perfection! Ribs melted in your mouth, so tender and BBQ sauce was excellent, sweet, smokey and sooo good. Sides were great, especially the scalloped potatoes, grilled brussel sprouts; and salad and baked potato were great. And finally Cheesecake with Strawberry sauce for dessert! Outstanding means our server was the best ever. We had enough leftover for a whole other dinner! Amazing, well worth the price!“

“Great Starters…Enjoyed the hot wings, pretzel dippers and the Cali flatbread. The Great provider is yummy. The ambience and our waiter Jake was great. Great time with my handsome Son“

“Consistent quality, everything is delicious! Best Shrimp and Grits ever, as well as the Crab cakes Benedict. The Murrieta location is outstanding!“

“What a lovely Easter brunch! Good variety of delicious foods, reasonably priced, excellent and friendly service. Go and experience it yourself!“

“Great food and great service.“

“The food was really good nice persons and I highly recommend 💯“

“First time at this bbq joint. Inside looks like a mix between a bar and a restaurant. There is outside sitting as well and also what looked like a private room for bigger groups. We shared beef ribs and a salad. Both were delicious. About the ribs, not many places have beef ribs and when they do they’re not as amazingly tasty as these were! Waitress was very friendly. We’ll be back to try other items on the menu.
Highly recommended!“

“I love Irish pubs and this place was no exception. I meant to get pictures of the food but I was so hungry it was gone before I thought about it. Their prices were very reasonable. The food was full of flavor and tasted fresh. They gave you hearty portions for the price. Their drink menu didn't disappoint. With a great selection of cocktails to a solid shelf bar collection of unique and top shelf brands. A great place for a social night out. Not for those looking for a quiet meal.“

“They are so nice! I loved going in and chatting with the owners. They made sure I knew what I was getting and offered me some samples to taste. Everything was so good it was hard to choose what to get! The place was very clean and inviting. The food is delicious and great portions. We ended up sharing everything so we could try it all. I would highly recommend checking out this place. Everything was fresh and made exactly how I asked for it. We will definitely be back!“

“great response time and amazing customer service“

“Getting to eat here is always a special treat. Our go to is the rib sandwich with Mac and cheese. The food is wonderful. So next time you’re stuck in that horrible traffic jam on the 15. Just hop off at the Pala exit and go past the truck stop. You won’t regret it. That traffic is crazy!“

“Great food and excellent service. Kudos to Stephanie who always greets us with a smile.“

“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.“

“This was a lovely bistro type restaurant and the vegan options were spectacular. Doug was especially helpful and went out of his way to answer questions. The vegan burrito and almond butter pancakes. Top notch! Best burrito I’ve had in my recent memory.“

“Great venue we meet here now for our referral group“

“The was probably the largest potato I've ever received at a steak house!

The steaks themselves were very generously seasoned with pepper and salt, I am a fan of this since I don't use steak sauce but it is something to be aware of. The brussel sprouts were also amazing with a hint of sweetness.

Will definitely make the trip back“

“Denise is so amazing. She is a wonderful manager. She knows her stuff. I am so happy I found this place. Has great food. Good workers. Is one of the best breakfast in our area by far!!!“

“Holy smok’d hog you have done it!!! We came in last night for the first time and it WILL NOT be the last!! Full rack of ribs, 2 pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread, potato salad, and mac & cheese was freakin’ amazing!!! The best I have ever eaten!!! I love your great service, sample to taste sauces, and super kind staff. You guys rock the BBQ like no one else ❤️“

“I've eaten at Oscar's several times in the past year and have always been satisfied with both the food and the service. I went there for lunch yesterday and the service provided by Omar was nothing short of marvelous. He was attentive without being "overbearing" - and checked with us often to ensure we had everything we needed, we comfortable (we were sitting outside) and were enjoying our food. Omar is truly an outstanding server. The food - as always - was really good, but Omar was great!“

“Wonderful wedding there! I loved the beautiful wedding site w/ the bell to ring and that all the rooms were right on site!“

“I’m not going to lie — IHOP was not my first choice. I prefer mom-and-pop diners. The one I wanted to go to was busy, the backup was busy, and the third backup was too far away and also said it was very busy on a Sunday morning. I thought IHOP wouldn’t be busy because it has a worse reputation and the food isn’t always great, so it’s usually quiet. I figured it would be easy to go in and be served quickly.

I walked in and, holy moly, the place was packed — tons of people eating. That didn’t mean I didn’t get seated quickly; I waited less than two minutes (about a minute and thirty seconds) while they finished wiping down a table. I decided what I wanted quickly and got my drink (the iced coffee was just okay). My wife and I ordered our meals, and within five minutes our food arrived. The food was delicious and the server was fantastic.

IHOP might be especially good at this location, but I one hundred percent recommend it.“

“Great service and really good food!“
