“I probably should have ordered one of their 30 burgers because their chicken tortilla soup was good but not great. (Interesting presentation though, with the broth in a separate pot to pour over the dry ingredients.) We were here with a large group and service was great anyway, and separate tickets managed well.“

“We love Annie’s and eat there often. My 6 year old son just said his grandma is the best cook he knows… then he quickly changed it to “Well, second best, compared to Annie’s. Their gluten free pancakes are like biting into heaven” We appreciate all the gluten free options and love the atmosphere.“

“First time eating here. In town for a work function and figured we would try it out. As a lover of breakfast I loved the 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. The hash browns ar hands down the best I ever had. The flavoring was amazing. Bacon came crispy as requested.“

“Great service and food!!!“

“Date night with the wife. Delicious food and awesome service.“

“From 1st bite of lmy medium rare burger, to the plentiful salt encrusted sweet potato fries...perfection in a mouth watering way. The sauce for the fries were too salty, but the poppy seed dressing made up for it. The salad was tangy fresh strawberries and candied almonds....yummy and filling, like serious yum.“

“Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and staff - along with good of wines.“

“🙂👍 Kimberly does a great job!“

“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 .“

“First impression wasn't that great. The owner at my first perception was impatient with me as I entered the restaurant and sat in an open booth vice a table. I had my kid in tow and did not want to deal with the hustle of a large chain. I had to be somewhere and this was on my way. Never judge hastily. This was the best food brunch I've had and he was so kind to have his kitchen make a Mikey pancake for my kid. It was very kind and I'll be coming back frequently. Recommend recommend recommend“

“Went to Black Angus on Veteran’s day for dinner. Even with the crowd our food came out quickly and our wattress Teresa was very pleasant and attentive. The manager also was busy helping wherever he could with a smile.

This was a wonderful experience to honor my husband for serving in the military. Thank you Black Angus for doing an outstanding job.“

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

“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“

“My Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Sandwhich was soooo good. (I added avocado. Bread was fresh and delicious. Definitely ordering again.“

“We had such a great dinner here, we went back for a second time. The staff was exceptional and food superb. Bartenders were excellent with some great self created drinks. We had pasta the first night and it was excellent. Our second night we went for the fillet. It was done perfectly, very tender and it was awesome. The ceviche started was great too!“

“It looks like a hearty steakhouse-style meal. The main plate features a large, bone-in steak cooked well-done (as indicated by the marker), with a nice sear on the outside. It’s served with creamy mashed potatoes, charred broccolini, and a small cup of savory steak sauce on the side.

Next to it, there’s a separate bowl of classic macaroni and cheese—bright, cheesy, and creamy—served on a small plate with a spoon.

Overall, it’s a rich, comforting, and satisfying meal with a nice balance of protein, veggies, and a cheesy side.“

“Great food and great service.“

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

“I completely forgot to leave a review last time I was here so I'm doing it while I'm here this time - its amazing. The steak, the pickle chips, everything. I haven't had a single thing that wasn't delicious and since its a little off the main street (like 50 feet lol) its never packed like the others. Definitely a hidden gem!“

“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 food and great service“

“Killarney’s in south Temecula is a seriously happening place on a Friday night. I visited this past week after working on a real estate project all day. I was expecting the quiet Killarney’s I remembered from when I first moved here. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The energy in this place was off the charts. As a thriller author, I love places like this to get late night grub.

I thought I was walking into a sleepy Irish pub. Of course, this is Temecula. Instead, there was a large patio out front with plenty of people talking. As I walked through the door, I entered a small boxed-in area before the main space. I’m not sure what that’s about. Maybe it’s a feng shui thing?

Once inside, the intensity hit full tilt. People were having a good time, out to see and be seen. It was interesting watching folks shake hands and meet up.

It took a while to find a seat at the bar. The main setup is built around a horseshoe-shaped bar, packed with standing-room-only guests. Along the walls, there were tables and seats, all full.

Beyond the bar, there’s a separate room with long tables where you can have a slightly quieter meal. You’ll definitely have to speak up to talk with your crew. The restrooms are at the back and were clean and easy to access.

Since it was late, I skipped a heavy meal and went for the late-night chili nachos. Functional, not gourmet. But let’s be honest, who goes to an Irish pub for chili nachos?

The Guinness pour had a solid waterfall of foam as it settled.

When I left at 11 PM, there were no signs of slowing down. I don’t know when things quiet down, but it wasn’t happening any time soon.

The parking area is huge, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding a spot in the evening. It’s in a large strip mall and one of the few places open late.

The kitschy Irish decor on the walls was super fun. It reminded me of my time in Ireland. All sorts of neat stuff to check out. The staff was friendly and on point. My bartender took my order within a minute and got my drink and food out fast. No complaints.

The music wasn’t Irish. Honestly, for the crowd, that was probably a good call. It was a mix of country and alternative. Some songs I didn’t recognize, but they fit the vibe. Nobody seemed to care much either way.

I was thinking about how I could use Killarney‘s in a scene in one of my thriller books. I will have to work on that. Since it’s loud and busy, you could have a complete conversation and no one would notice. Not a bad thing.

All in all, a very different experience than the Killarney’s I remembered. If you want energy and interaction, this is the place. It’s a bit out of the way from the heart of Temecula, but that didn’t stop anyone.“

“Very cozy and Travis makes you feel welcome“

“great response time and amazing customer service“

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

“We enjoyed a winery tour and cheese pairing yesterday with Evan, who made our experience a 10/10. He was knowledgeable, fun to be around, and gave a great tour! We also enjoyed lunch afterwards, and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Everyone here was very friendly and welcoming. There is lots of seating inside and out. Place was clean and the beer was delicious. Will definitely be returning since they have a Hefeweizen and they are hard to find. They are dog friendly if you have a dog and want to come with them.“

“Fantastic food, service and music by Diego Mondragon.“

“Customer Service was Amazing. It made the experience 5 star. Ginger was an awesome hostess!! She was able to give insight on the wine flavors which was helpful because I was a first timer. She also had very inviting energy. The food did not taste that great and menu choices were very limited for some who is Gluten-Free. The overall ambiance was amazing. We were invited for the music and line dancing which was super. We are planning to come again. I am actually planning a date just to do wine tasting. I really enjoyed the openness of the winery, how up close we were to the vineyards.“

“We will be back for sure! 😉“

“The food was really good! The seating format is so neat, its like you get your own private “barrel room”. They also serve cocktails from their distillery if you're not in a wine mood after wine tasting. Desserts were also fantastic. The whole experience is cool since you're actually sitting in a barrel cave!“

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

“I'm a member here at the Alano club and I have to say that if your trying to get real recovery this is the place for you. Absolutely love this place and all the people who come here. The Noon AA meetings are fantastic and also the NA meetings as well. If your new to the area and looking for meetings this is the place for you.“

“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 ❤️“

“We've been to this winery and restaurant multiple times. This time was for my wife's birthday brunch, after putting the request through open table to add a surprise dessert for for the occasion, they did not even look at the request and it was never asked if there was a special event we were celebrating. That's the only thing this fell short on.“

“Great place and they had no problem accommodating our party of 25!!!“

“Great place to pickup your donut, coffee and go!. I prefer this place any time than a gas station. The price is affordable, got myself 2 delicious donuts and a coffee for $6 can’t beat that.

If you care for business look then go to Dunkin’ Donuts and pay $15.“
