My husband and I decided to try lunch at Bushfire Kitchen. It is a small restaurant and there was a line almost to the door. I got a grilled veggie bowl with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts (first time trying brussel sprouts and they were so good). It was wonderful! My husband loved his BLT sandwich too. Wish there was more indoor seating, since it was chilly outside. It seems like a very busy place and feels a little crowded with the line of people standing right behind you while you are eating, but overall great homemade dishes. We will be back!

A fun place ! They have a great patio area where kids can play safely( bring toys for them) trees make a shaded place to sit outside. Service is awesome! Many beers to choose from. I had a glass of wine for $5!!. The menu has a lot of choices . And there are options for vegan and vegetarian and those who are gluten free. Appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, etc. Nice overall atmosphere. I would eat here again. Plenty of free parking, wheelchair accessible.

In our RV'ing throughout the state, we've enjoyed this chain in a number of different communities. We were quite pleased when this location opened so close to our homebase. Our only visit, shortly after their opening, was sooooo bad I pledged never to return. I never would have . . . My wife signed us up for an email special that allowed for a free charburger with cheese each. (It's value could also be applied to a more expensive item, which I did.) I had every intention of driving to the other side of Temecula to avoid this location. Unfortunately I couldn't find that location on Tripadvisor. We were also planning to attend a weekday matinee starting at 12:30. My wife felt the trek across town would be cutting it too close. I very reluctantly submitted to this location. Our order was taken by a very nice young lady, Desiree. My wife hates charbroiled meat (I Know!). The entire staff worked wonderfully to accommodate her. She was quite pleased with her burger. She was not impressed with the tempura green beans, which I found to be an interesting alternative to fries. My upgraded Santa Barbara Char was just great. With our discounts, our bill came close to what we normally pay when I frequently crave a competitor's double-double. That item works for us for lunch. We both agreed that "The Habit's" sandwiches were far bigger than we need midday. Like 'Five Guys', these burgers are dinner size. Food was excellent. Service also. Management types, need better training. Though I had my back to them, my wife noticed the 3 were blocking the way to the restrooms. A female customer had to ask them to move out of her way. I observed them (2 of whom looked to be more like district management types) as they were discussing the tables & flatwork outside. They were definitely more focused on their duties than their awareness of the traffic flow they were impeding.

My family have frequented the Mill for breakfast at least 3 times. THis can be busy, so if you get there after 9, expect a wait. Great variety and the prices are reasonable (a little less than Richies). Portions great, loved the breakfast burrito, sausage and eggs good, pancakes for kids worked out great with bacon of course. Benedicts and specials change out and we have always liked them. Location is best for us and most casual relaxing place in the area. Want to try out dinner and the patio some day

Just ate dinner at JCarters. It was excellent. Our waitress was wonderful and steered us away from our first selections and recommended other dishes. So glad she did. The food was freshly prepared and served immediately. The waitstaff was extremely attentive. At 8 pm on Saturday night, a live band started playing 70âs and 80âs music. Great experience all around. Highly recommend.

I eat breakfast and lunch here with my clients. Expect the pay $15 per person at either meal. Portions are large and the food is hit or miss. I like the tri tip sliders but sometimes the beef is tough. They will replace your food if you have an issue, just ask. The BLT is awesome. French Toast for breakfast is yummy.

As far as barbecue goes, Calhounâs rates up there with the best of the family barbecue joints found in the south. From the early morning hours you can see the smoke pouring out of the outside smoker adjacent to a very ambiguous looking restaurant located in a strip mall in Old Town Murrieta. Family owned and operated the staff are friendly and the food is great! Good luck getting your hands on their delicious sweet potato pie! They sell out every day and have a limit on how many you can buy. We got our order to-go so we could enjoy the delicious food and messy ribs in the privacy of our own home! Truly a gem hidden in a Murrieta! If I had one negative to add it would be related to our most recent trip. we recently ate pretty late in the evening and there selections were limited as they often run out of their most popular meats (like tri tip) and some of the meat was a bit dry but it was our own fault for waiting so late in the day!

My first visit here. Met a friend for lunch. Traditionally on a person's first visit and your birthday they have a special hat you can wear. I chose not to but several others went along with tradition. The servers also do a little dance routine on occasion too. Very good service and food was good too. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, it was served on a regular hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo and I really enjoyed it, chicken was moist too. I chose fresh fruit as my side which consisted of cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries and grapes. The fruit was very sweet, very fresh and delicious. Prices were pretty good too along with good portion size. I will go back again.What a lovely review, thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
