The food is great. I went for my birthday. I got a smashed burger with garlic fries . I had a Lavender drink (which is really good!). The most thing I enjoyed and I will be coming back for is the fried devil eggs. It comes with these little tomatoes. It's so good. Your just going to have to try it. The service was great. Ambiance we pretty nice. We sat outside on there patio. read more

Crab and shrimp empanada were delicious. The fried deviled eggs were tasty and different. We each ordered an appetizer with water before heading down the street to happy hour. The mango habanero shrimp ceviche was so delicious. Right amount of mango sauce and habanero that nothing is over powering the taste of the other. Very tasty. In this 93 degree heat the mist system was on and we were very comfortable. With the appetizers you only received three deviled eggs the empanadas was a total of three but this ceviche was a pretty good portion. read more

I absolutely LOVE this spot! I go here every time I am anywhere near Temecula and will continue to go back! There is street parking, or you can park in a large lot behind the restaurant. The ambiance is hip and open, with very clean bathrooms. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with a very large covered patio out front. It's located in old town Temecula and is such a hidden gem! I ordered many delicious drinks, but loved allll of the frozen cocktails (as it was incredibly hot!) Service was great, and always is. The server gave us some great food and drink recs and we started with a charcuterie board that was a 10/10 and made our way through the rest of the menu, as we wanted to try a lot of different things. read more

It's located in the middle of Old Town and it's always poppin! Luckily the time's I've been, the wait hasn't been too long. There plenty of indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. The servers are always sweet and quick. They have a variety on their menu. Their 1909 burger was so delicious. I'm usually not a burger girl but it was stacked with fresh ingredients. I got the seasoned fries which were good. Their birria hash was packed with flavor. I enjoy their hazy beers and I had to try their mimosa slush which was a bit strong in my opinion. The alcohol really punched me in the face. 1909 is a great spot that I enjoy going to whenever I'm in the area. read more

Very busy place, wait time was 40 min. The hostess and servers were very friendly. Super cute ambience! They have outdoor and indoor seating. We sat outside and the heaters worked amazing, since it was a chilly evening. The food was a solid 3. The raw oysters are much better than the grilled ones. I had their clam chowder which was... ok. The rib eye was a solid 3. Too much flavor fusion going on. The chicken Sammie and the birria tacos I highly recommend. I loved the location. There's a lot of different places to try on this little strip in Temecula. read more

During our visit to Temecula, we wanted to try a new place to eat. So we stopped at 1909 to eat lunch. We ordered steak, potatoes, shrimp/chorizo, burger, and Cuban sandwich along with drinks. All were really good. Bloody Mary came with friend chicken wing and bacon along with olives, tasted good. Burger was really good as it reminded us of another place. The shrimp and chorizo was very good. The steak was juicy and the sauce really good. The cubano sandwich was just ok. Lemonade was good but not spectacular. We will definitely come back, but try a few things different and a couple of the items we had today. read more

Came by on a Monday for lunch! Interior design/decor is modern yet not lost. Cool restaurant bar to chill or hang out! Got their 1909 burger but don't sleep on their smash burger because they look just as great if not better! Patty has that nice char, meaty taste to follow after! That's how it should be done! Customer service was spot on too! Not too much but attentive enough or easy to flag down for anything you need. The restaurant has everything well oiled, their food runners know what to serve where/who. read more

Gorgeous weather, a tad breezy... but the patio tables had their heaters on! Yay!! At first we couldn't decide whether we wanted to sit inside which was open air or patio and slightly covered. The hostess at the stand looked a tad annoyed....I guess it was a little extra work for them. Eh. The night we came, the restaurant was playing some good jams..our waiter had excellent table service! He sold us on the appetizers. I read some reviews on options and chose the pesto pasta dish... I give it 6/10. If you don't like anything spicy, watch out for this dish. There's red pepper flakes in it. I didn't read it was slightly spicy, otherwise would have done without it. The chicken was the best thing from that dish. My husband enjoyed his bread-less burger! Ginger ale taste good with anything! We even got the special water from the springs.. Bathrooms are super tight! Why do they make bathroom doors to open inward?'!! I guess since it's a right squeeze don't want it to hit someone coming out. Btw this is a favorite spot for the locals! It got super busy after 6pm! read more

Such a cute spot in Temecula. We sat outside and the service was attentive and kind. I got their espresso martini and asked for the sugar to be taken out. It was still a touch sweet for my taste but overall really good. Then I tried the eggs benedict with longanisa. I wish the sausage was a bit more hearty but it was minced very fine. It was a touch spicy, but overall the flavor was really good. I also tried the fried chicken benedict which was delicious. The eggs were also cooked to perfection. Overall, such a fun spot. Would come back! read more

Food was solid, but nothing all that special. Plus it was pretty expensive. Patio seating and vibes and ambiance swung this to a 4/5. Would definitely come back to try more of the drinks and menu. The 1909 bloody mary was 10/10. One of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. Seriously was amazing - spicy, flavorful, everything you want Eggs your way - standard 2 poached eggs, toast bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were super undercooked but the poached egg was perfect. Bacon was also a lil undercooked. Cranberry white cheddar salad was banging I must say. I added shrimp and it was suuuuper good. read more

Hands down, this is the best restaurant in town! Since moving here, we've really missed San Diego's food scene--but last weekend, my wife and I visited 1909 for the first time, and we found that 1909 rivals many of our favorite places in San Diego. We started with a "Dirty" Vodka Martini for me and a Mac's Mule for her. Then, we ordered the Caesar Brussel Sprouts, the 1909 Burger, the Cilantro Lime Fish Tacos, and a couple more cocktails along the way. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was the service. The entire staff treated us like we were longtime regulars--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and reminded us of some of our favorite places back in San Diego. If you're looking for great food, excellent drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile, this is the place. We'll definitely be going back! read more

After a day of winery hopping, we were ready for dinner and decided to order a variety of appetizers--and we were not disappointed. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served warm. The empanadas were my favorite, but honestly, everything we tried was delicious. We sat outside, and despite the chilly evening, there were plenty of heaters to keep us comfortable. The service was friendly, accommodating, and prompt. Our server was especially kind and made the experience even better. read more

We were roaming in Temecula and this was one of the most recommended restaurants and I must say, it did not disappoint. First of all, they have a beautiful outdoor area which is where we sat. They do have heaters so you don't get too cold which was nice. The service was great, the server was very knowledgeable of the dishes and the food was great! It was fast, high quality and delicious. One of the best places here for sure! read more

1909 - Vegetable wontons - Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

1909 has to be my favorite restaurant/bar on the whole old town Temecula strip. This place pops off with a lot of customers, but they are very professional with how they handle reservations and walk-in's. Super dialed in. Their menu sits in the perfect balance of casual and upscale and the pricing is fair for the quality and experience. The double prime smash burger is excellent and I recommend going with the honey garlic fries. Not sure if I like the drinks or food better because they're both fire. The voodoo breeze somehow stole my heart. I love tiki bar style drinks but I'm not a fan of blended drinks - it still wins! read more

1909 - Voodoo Breeze and Mimosa - Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

This is my go to place in old town for the most part but the last two times I've had a pretty bad experience. This time was after a run and it was still early in the day. They sat us in the back when the restaurant was pretty open. Then they served all the other tables before us and were suprised and unapologetic when we said something. The food was okay. Because the service was so slow we only ordered our entrees and juice and when I ordered a refill it took so long I considered passing on it. It's too bad because for a $30 breakfast I am expecting service and a good time. Especially at 1909. This could easily of become a $100 per a person meal (as we were celebrating) but no one was serving us (even an app took 20 mins) so we ended up leaving and going to baileys. This happened when we came to the Valentine's Day pop up as well. Came out for Valentine's Day ready to order rounds of the cute drinks! It was like pulling teeth to get the first round ordered and our food. It was over 40 mins by the time the sever returned and we'd decided by that time we were better off heading to coin op or something. It's galentines and we're ready to have a good time. It was just really disappointing tbh and I'm hesitant to return at this point. read more

Nice spot for a large group with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Service was really good. Everyone was very friendly and checked on us often. A group of us shared a variety of appetizers: - Fried Deviled Eggs (3/5) - Crab & Shrimp Empanadas (5/5) - Fried Cauliflower (4/5) - Sticky Ribs (4/5) - Birria Tacos (3/5) - Mango Habanero Shrimp Ceviche (5/5) I enjoyed everything overall, but the empanadas and ceviche really stood out for their flavor and freshness. The rest were cooked well, though I felt they could use a bit more flavor. Still, a good meal and a great place to gather with friends. read more

Came here for brunch and walked out feeling very full and satisfied!! Located in Old Town Temecula with lots of history put to a modern twist, we learned that 1909 was a rebuilding of what used to be a historic Machado building. It went through phases of being a bar and even an auto shop!!! It was a sunny beautiful day and we chose to sit inside, but most people sat at the outdoor patio. The food selections all looked yummy and we went with the Birria Tacos as an appetizer to share. It was super good!!! Definitely highly recommend. Next, I got the Double Prime Smash Burger and that was the thickest smash burger I ever had and it was super yummy too. Parking was tricky but we were able to find an open spot along the street read more

Perfect for large group dinners! We came without a reservation on a Monday night and they fit ~15 of us in easily! Most of us ordered the New York steak frites, which was a 10 oz steak with cremini mushroom sauce and house-made tallow fries. It was soooo good. The portion size was easily worth the price. The mushroom sauce was rich without being too salty and I loved how much they coated the fries in it. The servers were very accommodating and let us split the check down to the individual, which was helpful given we were on a work trip. read more

This place seems to be a hotspot in Temecula. . They still had a 30 minute wait at 2 on a Saturday but we were able to snag seats at the bar. They have both a large indoor area along with a huge outside patio. We just finished a hike and I was chugging water and the bartenders were good about keeping my water glass filled and were super friendly I got their signature burger with garlic fries. Both were great ! I would like to try more items from the menu read more

Came here with my sisters to celebrate one of their birthdays, the service was so warm and kind. I can't remember our waitresses name but she was so kind and even helped me sisters pick out their very first alcoholic drinks ( I was DD so I couldn't drink). She even went so far to bring out a birthday float for my sister!! It was such a fun night the drinks were so good!! The food on the other hand was a bit bland and needed a bit more seasoning. But I will be back for the drinks and maybe an appetizer!!! read more

Went here this past weekend, and the food was honestly, just okay. The service at this place was incredible though, and our server(s) were awesome, very quick, kind, and coordinated! Also, the restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location. The food didn't blow me away though. Our party of 8 ended up getting a mix of a lot of things, from the burgers, the gnocchi, and the birria tacos. The birria tacos were not my favorite, as the consome was a tad cold and the meat wasn't that flavorful. The gnocchi was not very good. A couple of our group tasted a few bites of the gnocchi and each taster agreed that there was something off about the texture and taste. Other than that, I heard great things about the burgers, the sandwiches, and the steak that others in our party got. Overall, the service and people at this restaurant are amazing and provided us with an excellent experience; however, the food was a tad of a let down. read more

Ricardo was excellent!! He was very friendly/welcoming and very knowledgeable of the menu. Everything was delicious! Loved the birria tacos! Bottomless mimosas is a must! We also loved the crab/shrimp empanadas 10/10, the carnitas chilaquiles were delicious as well. It's a very crowed/busy/loud place. We were luckily that we were able to get a table right away. Sucks that you can't make reservations but suggest going early or with time to spare, but it worth the wait read more

Boyyyy do I love a good burger, and I have had my fair share. So they had two burgers, I liked. The double smash and the 1909 burger. I love myself a smash burger, but in this case, there wasn't much of a supporting cast to elevate the burger, just lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and mayo. Very much run-of-the-mill standard ingredients. On the other hand, the1909 was, dressed to the 9s. Brioche bun, sharp white cheddar, bacon-onion jam, garlic aioli, tomato, and arugula. If only I could have these toppings on the double smash........That's exactly what I asked for. The waitress was more than accommodating. I have to say hands down one of my favorite burgers of 2026. I almost forgot throw some pickles in that bad boy....... and it a wrap!! Also get their honey butter seasoning on the fries. read more

Made a day trip nearby and was looking for a nice dinner. Never been to Old Town Temecula before but it's very quaint, walkable and has tons of options. Stumbled on 1909 via yelp (gg it has a boatload of reviews). We sat inside to watch the CFP Championship Game. We had a high top, which is a a little weird because it's only side by side along the wall. But, that's best for viewing games. The bathroom was kinda a miss - semi clean, no seat covers. Service was pleasant and server was attentive. Food: -1909 burger (4/5): bacon jam and patty super solid. The bun was a bit dry. Meat was also slightly over medium. - steak frites (3/5): nice char, but meat not super tender. The sauce and fries were great! - shrimp and crab empanadas (5/5): crispy, flakey and tons of filling. The corn salsa on top was fresh and the corn super sweet. Definitely worth checking out if in the area. read more

2025 visits: 1909 Gastropub is always a solid choice whenever in Temecula California. Brynn was our server today and the service was great! Pleasant bar inside with lots of seating. The outdoor patio also has plenty of seating and you can people watch as you enjoy your meal. This visit we had brunch and tried the rolled blueberry coconut French toast...5/5 wow what a delicious dish. We also tried birria hash with avocado. The huckleberry cider and the classic bloody Mary were also a hit! Thanks, 1909 Handcrafted Fluid & Fare for a great brunch and lunch. 5/5 this visit. Back again after a couple of days for lunch. Oysters, the bison burger and some white sangria and another classic bloody Mary, not sure why this one was watered down? Not very consistent... 3/5 this visit for a rounded out 4/5.

Need a dog friendly restaurant in Temecula? Then this is the restaurant for you! I highly recommend the fried deviled egg, mango habanera shrimp ceviche, and barrio tacos for an appetizer. The fried deviled egg decadent and a must try. If you are only going to try one appetizer this one is a winner. The Mango Habanera shrimp ceviche was exactly what you expect out of a good ceviche. Not overdone with too many ingredients. The chef knows what they are doing. The barrio tacos was exactly what you expect out of a good taco made with tender meat. 1909 knows how to make a Ceaser. If you like ceasers definitely order from this place. The miso-glazed black cod is AMAZING! If you know anything about cod then you know that black cod is THE best. It's a very rich and oily fish that needs to be cooked and paired with the right food so it's not too oily. The way 1909 paired it with the jasmine rice, egg plant, and miso sauce was AMAZING. I ended up having too many appetizers so by the time the mains came I was only able to have a few bites. Let me tell you, this dish tasted almost better the second day when I had it for left overs. The New York Steak Frites was PERFECT! I ordered it medium rare. I kind of wish I ordered it rare but that was on my part. The cognac cremini mushroom sauce was perfect with the steak. I kind of wish I had swapped out the frites for a vegetable or potato but it could be because I had so many appetizers. I'm assuming all of their desserts are amazing based on the creme brûlée. It tasted homemade. Will come again when I go back to old Temecula! Thanks for the impeccable service and the delicious food! WAAAAAIT! Almost forgot to talk about the service. We were checked on by the manager and several staff members. They also paid attention to our dog! Will be back. read more

Friends recommendation of late night eatery. The location gives a Old Western/ beach vibe because it's in downtown Temecula where there are bunch of business of varieties where you pay for parking so come around 2 hours before closing to avoid paying for parking The decor is beautiful as the inside and outside is decorated for the holidays. Including the bathroom. Outside seating is available (cannot change once seated as reservations are tight). Sodas are fountain and are coke-products. Tea is bag and it comes with its very own pot. Birthday person gets a free root beer float where the mug is entirely covered in sprinkles. Menu consist is appetizers, salads, burgers, steak and only one pasta entree. Order the deville eggs, potato gnoisto (dinner portion), and New York ribeye with steak fritters. Presentation is top notch. Deville eggs are panko fried and it's fried to perfection. Potatoe gnoisto is normally appetizer (8 small dumplings) while dinner portion (16 small dumplings) can be requested to bring as an appetizer. New York ribeye with steak fritters is perfect as the ribeye is seared perfectly and the mushroom sauce adds depth to perfection fried French fries. When it comes to service, give your waiter/waitress credit as they juggling to tackle other tables during busy time so be patient. But here's where the biggest complaint: two seasonal nonalcoholic drinks - jumping juice and it's all in the holidays. Originally got the it's all in the holidays as I thought it was suppose to be dessert drink. But all you get is ice fill all the way to top with heavily whip cream and very little liquid. Address to waitress and offer redo or something different that's equivalent since already close the tab. Order the Jumping juice as it's a pomegranate drink. Did it make better? Nope! Same thing: heavily ice and heavily liquid Overall. Recommend on giving a try but don't recommend the nonalcoholic drinks. read more

1909 has a pretty weird setup inside--it's basically one long wall where everyone sits on the same side, so if you're with just one person, you end up uncomfortably close to the next group. The food is okay but a little overpriced, and there's almost always a long wait. I've never been blown away by anything there, though I do love their deviled eggs. The main reason I'm giving it 3 stars is the late-night brunch. My little sister and I have gone, and it's just fun--I like having the option. The food isn't amazing, but it's a good choice for a casual late-night outing. read more

I always hear people in the surrounding area speak so highly of 1909. I thought, I finally have to go check it out. I know for a fact, I will not be getting restaurant recommendations from those people again. 1909, was not it. Decent place, but not as amazing as people make it sound. Came around 6pm for dinner time and it was fairly slow which makes sense for a Monday. It was a hot day, and since they have an open door concept, it was so hot and the misters they had going outside their front area and outdoor seating, made the restaurant inside feel like I was trapped in the south of Florida, It was so humid and I was truly uncomfortable. We ordered two alcoholic drinks which was only okay, the fresh gnocchi (which I felt texture was off), burger and fries (fries were fried to perfection, burger was lacking flavor) and the birria tacos (was dry and the soup wasn't flavorful). We also told our server that we were in a rush and had to get going, she promised us that our food would be out in time, which it was. She was sweet and got us our bill but took forever to come ring us up. Other than that, she was nice, but not personable. Overall, nothing wowing. read more

1909 was a place we finally tried after hearing our parents rave about it--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The burgers here are stellar. We ordered the bison burgers along with a side, and everything was cooked beautifully and full of flavor. You can really tell there's care put into the ingredients and execution. It's the kind of burger that feels satisfying without being overly heavy. Service was excellent across the board. Everyone we interacted with was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, which made the overall experience even better. The ambiance is also worth mentioning. The space is cute and currently set up as a winter wonderland-themed barn, which adds a lot of charm and makes the dining experience feel warm and inviting. We enjoyed nearly everything we ordered, with the one exception being the Hamachi & Ahi Tartare. While well prepared, the combination didn't quite work for us flavor-wise. That said, everything else we had was great and more than made up for that one dish. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal, and we'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in the area. Great burgers, strong service, and a charming atmosphere all around. read more
