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

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

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

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

Located in Old Town on the main road, it's perfectly located with ample space on the patio and back patio. A nice environment and decor it fits right into the old town vibe. The service was a little slow to start but it's a popular and busy space. All of the food was amazing with nice portions. read more

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

1909 - steak frites - Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

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

Went here for my birthday and it was delicious! I had been here once before, but only had a burger. This time I had a chicken sandwich with bacon and avocado on sourdough bread, which was so delicious and so much food! I took half my sandwich home. The fries were crispy and fresh and good. We had Korean fried chicken as a starter and oh my gosh it was so good! My sister had the fish tacos and loved them and my daughter had the Carnita Chilaquiles and she really liked them a lot. Service was good ambience was chill and we sat outside and it was fun. Pricing is mid range and you get a lot for your money. The restrooms are clean and the inside of the restaurant is more of a bar like atmosphere and it's a little on the darker side so I personally like to sit outside. I also like to sit outside because I get support for my back if you sit inside and don't get against the wall, you don't have any back support because you're sitting on barstools. 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

Really like the decor and the seasonal decorations were over the top. Had a seat at the bar, and ordered Korean Fried Chicken, Bacon Fries, Mussels in Wine Broth, a Martini and an Old Fashioned. Friendly customer service, but the bartenders are not great. Three attempts to make a simple Dry Vodka Martini Shaken and twice it was a Dirty Watery Martini . The Old Fashioned was good. Fries and chicken were tasty but the Mussels never arrived! Surprisingly the place received a Yelpie! read more

1909 - Bars Near Me - Temecula, California

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 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

Came here on what turned out to be an unexpectedly super busy night, and overall we had a really great experience. First off, the 1909 Hazy was excellent -- perfectly balanced bitterness with just the right amount of sweetness. You still get that bright citrus pop that hazy lovers look for, without it being overpowering. Definitely one of the highlights of the night. Food-wise, everything hit the mark. The sliders came out fresh and warm, and the flavor was spot on -- simple, satisfying, and clearly made with care. The shrimp ceviche was super delicious, especially with the avocado and red onion combo. The only minor note is that it was a little light on acidity, but squeezing the lime slice over it brought everything together perfectly. The kids were very happy too, which is always a win. They absolutely loved the mac and cheese and chicken strips, judging by how quickly most of it disappeared. Service was a bit on the slow side, but given how packed the place was, it was completely understandable. Our server Jenna was fantastic -- super friendly, accommodating, and consistently checked in on us despite the rush. She really helped make the experience enjoyable. Atmosphere-wise, this place has great vibes. It's definitely lively and loud with people's chatter, but there's also good music playing, and they clearly have solid taste in their playlist. We sat outside, which had awesome décor, dark lighting, and subtle hanging lights that made it feel cozy and fun -- the perfect setting to hang out and relax. One thing to note is parking: it's street parking only, so you might have to park a bit farther and walk. We got lucky and snagged a close spot with no meters, but that may not always be the case. Overall, great drinks, tasty food, welcoming service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back -- preferably on another busy night since that says a lot about how popular this spot is. 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

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

I came in for a couple cocktails so we sat at the bar but ended up dining in as well after checking out the food menu. Everyone behind the bar was super helpful and friendly. They checked on us regularly and just had some nice conversation. I tasted my bfs cien años cocktail and it was pretty good, I had much fruitier beverages this time. I considered the curry because I've ordered it before and it's amazing. We decided to share a few apps and sides instead, and we loved them all. The shrimp and chorizo was our favorite of the 3. The Caesar Brussels were freakin good man. The fact that my bf went in for seconds says it all, he's not a veggie guy particularly. The empanadas were good too, I would've liked to of had more chimichurri, maybe as a side dip or something. I love the ambience when you sit inside. It's a little dimmer at night but there's lamps on the bar top and twinkle lights on the ceiling. I came in a day early to enjoy the Xmas decor that really amps up the vibe. Fingers crossed I make it in to enjoy all the crazy holiday decor. If inside seating isn't your thing they have two giant patios also. This place is always busy, for a reason. 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

We did not make a reservation and it was really busy on Valentine's day but it was only about a 15 min wait at 11:30am. It took about 35-40 minutes for food to come out maybe because it was so busy. They only have black coffee so no lattes or teas. Seems like they specialize more in alcoholic drinks. We ordered the fried chicken benedict, birria skillet, and bananas foster french toast. It was a lot of food but the only dish that stood out for me was the birria skillet. It was flavorful and the potatoes were good. The fried chicken benedict had very little seasoning and I kept having to dump hot sauce on it. The bread under it was super mushy and had a strange texture. I did enjoy the sauce for the French toast. I could taste the rum but I would have preferred more banana and some ice cream. You might get sick of eating the large pieces of bread because it's not crispy and lacking texture, but overall the food was fine. The servers were running around like crazy and it took a long time to get the check but it was a good experience. read more

Jordan was incredible and super smiley with us while still running around the entire patio!
