Horrible experience. The food is overpriced for what they charge. Everything was cold and you could tell the food was microwaved. The vegetables all tasted like they came from a frozen bag. The ordering counter was subpar. There were no dine in utensils and when asked, they were all being "washed" and we were only given plastic takeout utensils. We were there for an hour and the metal spoon and forks were never restocked. The service is abysmal. The staff except for the bartender do not know how to handle customers. I tried to order an alcoholic drink and got declined for "looking young". I'm well beyond the age of 21 and I showed them my ID. Why would anyone ever bring a fake ID to drink at a Bushfire Kitchen in Menifee? Christ. However, I'm mostly annoyed at how avoidant the staff was about it. I waited for my drink, followed up, then they sheepishly explained to me that they "just can't give me the drink because I seem a bit young". That's fine. Just stop avoiding it. It's also not lost on me that a big factor of that is probably because of my ethnicity. On top of that, I had to inquire if they had an ID scanner and they said no. I had to ask for the receipt myself of them refunding it (allegedly) so at least I could make sure that I was given my money back for the drink they declined me. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. Avoid. read more

This place is a zero when it comes to service. An old off color saying always reminds me of this Bushfire time after time. "The beatings will stop when the moral improves." The staff always seem so sad, that's if not rude, incompetent or uninterested. Winner winner today we got clueless, and bothered. My sandwich was good but looked so lonely on that plate all by itself. No pickle, no fries, no kale or even a twisted orange slice. After all these years it's still not very good. read more

I was here reluctantly today (due to past experience) for a special event that included a free lunch. The service is abominable. The order-taker/cashier was like a deer in the headlights. I've noticed this every time I've been in there. It appears they go through many staff. The lack of service in this establishment is astonishing. The food runner was devoid of any kind of personality and was agitated that she had to bring food to the table and deliberately avoided questions that were asked. Not one staff member spent any effort speaking with the group to establish some rapport and adding to their customer base. Totally a missed opportunity and possibly the whole reason why they would entertain such meetings. The music was loud and probably a very poor choice for any type of meeting, considering the subject matter and close positioning to other tables that probably didn't want to hear the conversation. I've been here several times usually just for a beer, but I'm done. However, they have a great HAPPY HOUR so use your own discretion, but don't expect warm and fuzzy. Oh, the food you might ask?-MEH! read more

We walked in not knowing what it expect but the menu was awesome, so many choices and there are vegan options too! There's lemonade and IPA's to your delight! It was spacious and we dined inside not realizing there is a back patio with the bar! I love the cozy space and the service was fast. The food came and it was superb! I ordered the salmon bowl with the crunchy garlic et al and it was off the chart! It was a perfect mix of rice, salmon and vegetable and the sauce was great! I would recommend this place if you have not tried it yet, you don't regret it. I will be back for the empanadas! PS they do have happy hour! Check them out! read more

I have only been here twice, but this is a good option for a fast casual meal. You order at the counter and then take a number to your table. This style of ordering is especially useful when you want to be sure everyone can pay for their items only, or if you have a group who would overall like to stay a while and have individuals come and go as they please. They have a decent amount of tables inside and on their patio which is dog friendly. I also really like that the bar is outdoor as well. The food is decent. On the most recent trip, I had a burger and my companions had the ceasar salad and the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Both really liked theirs. We were able to have some wine and beer, a meal, and it was all very casual in about 30 minutes. read more

Located on Haun & Newport Roads in the 'Countryside Marketplace' near the Breakfast Club, with plenty of parking. There's inside and outside seating. We stopped here for lunch hoping for a great meal. While I loved the location and the spacious, clean atmosphere, the food was a mixed bag. We started with a 'Beef Empanada', which was excellent. However, I regretted switching from a burger to the 'Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate'. The meat was bland and too pink for my liking, but the sides were the real issue: the mashed potatoes had an odd, burnt-rubber scent and a hard consistency, while the mac n cheese and bread were both too hard to enjoy (a disappointing menu choice for sure). On the bright side, the 'Thai Chicken Curry Bowl' was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed their "Stubborn" soda station. Service was fast, and they have a great happy hour (7 days a week, 2-5 PM). I'd come back, but I'll definitely stick to the burgers or bowls next time. read more

We came here to grab lunch and we enjoyed our experience! This restaurant is where you order first, get a number to place on your table, sit down and your food is brought out to you! There are many options on the menu and we decided on the salmon plate, empanadas, brussel sprouts, red sangria and an old fashioned. They have seating inside and outside! This place is good for large groups and the bathroom was clean! They have huge bar outside with TVs! The food was okay. The drinks were good! The employees were all kind and friendly! read more

1st question is "what to Improve"? Here's your answer : everything. The service is awful, the staff grunts at the customers. I guess it takes up too much time to form sentences? The food put me in the ER with food poisoning during my last visit. Interesting; a nurse who lives in the same area as me said she won't eat at your restaurant again due to a series of bad visits to your place. I know our family won't be back. Overpriced "food", rude staff, staff that can't appear to understand or listen to anything the customer says. Mostly selling stuff that resembles food but it isn't edible at all. I used to love eating here and now there's no way I'd risk eating at your place. read more

Visited on: 9/13/25 Service: Was okay. I felt bad because it was getting close to peak lunch time and there was only one girl working the counter. Food: We tried the American Burger (1- medium and the other medium well), grandma mac and cheese, and sweet potato fries. The burgers were beyond well done and just tasted like burnt charcoal. Mac & Cheese was cold and was just pasta with cheese on top. The sweet potatoes were the best part. Lastly, we tried the chocolate chip cookies and they were good as well. Overall: We will more than likely never return. For the price of food you would think it would come out better. The burgers were just under $15 (side and drink not included). A small drink is $4 and sides range from $4-$6. Could not finish the burgers and mac and cheese. Picture is the Medium burger... read more

Found this place thru Yelp! Was passing thru the area and it was time for a dinner break. So glad we stopped here. We ordered the following menu items.... *Thai Chicken Curry Bowl -cage-free chicken slowly braised with chilies, coconut, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir limes, coriander and cumin (medium spice) *Spinach & Strawberry Salad -baby spinach, creamy goat cheese, fresh strawberries, housemade candied almonds and housemade poppy seed dressing added with Salmon *Chicken Empanada -citrus marinated chicken breast, basil pesto, sundried tomato, red onion and feta cheese. Served with fresh housemade chimichurri *Grass-Fed Beef Empanada grass-fed ground beef, potatoes, onions, garlic and spices. Served with fresh housemade chimichurri *Veggie Empanada -spinach, roasted corn, bell peppers, potato, cilantro, onions and pepper-jack cheese. Served with fresh housemade chimichurri OMG! You can't go wrong with any of the menu items!! The prices were also reasonable too!! I enjoyed the Thai chicken curry bowl. It was delicious, flavorful and filling! I would definitely order that again! The strawberry spinach salad was awesome too!! The strawberries were perfect, complimented the goat cheese candied almonds. Again, would order again! Now the empanadas were delicious too!! We ordered all three chicken, beef and veggie empanadas to try. My faves were the chicken and veggie. And the chimichurri sauce.. DELISH!! Also I need to add impeccable service... Rylee and Tori were above and beyond AWESOME!!! They were welcoming, compassionate, kindhearted and attentive. You can tell they love people and enjoy what they do which I truly appreciate!! My overall experience was AMAZING. I recommend trying out this place!! Thank you!! read more

Yum! The strawberry salad and then I added the strips of steak was very delicious. It didn't taste like propane or Burnt to goodness, but very good! I haven't been here in a few years because the food just wasn't doing it for me for some reason. But, after eating this meal last week we will definitely be back to eat here once again. Good job on the love that went into my salad! Delicious read more

The service was terrible! Waited 10 mins at least to order while other employees did nothing. Finally someone opened another register and took our order and I felt like we're bothering her. My salad sat in the window for 15 mins (at least) while the burger we ordered was made. Our food was brought out with no utensils. We asked for some and she returned with 2 forks but no napkins. Had to ask for napkins. The burger was charred and the fries were cold. My salad was blah. Maybe a 4 out of 10 for the food overall. I eat at Bush Fire frequently but this location was really off. I'll skip over this one next time I'm in the area. It shouldn't be this hard to get a $20 lunch (after the lunch rush) that tastes and feels like a $20 lunch. read more

We have eaten at the Brushfire Kitchen in Temecula before, but never at this one. We were very happy with this restaurant. We had the tri tip bowl with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. Since it was late we shared this dish. We were very happy that we did. It was delicious but very rich. We also had a lemonade which was better than most restaurants. The staff were very polite and patient. They were also friendly. When we visit Menifee again, we will definitely come back to this restaurant and try another entree. read more

Pricey, but delicious, quality food. Our chicken, tri tip and veggie sandos were yummy.

Stopped in with my best friend and her mom on 12/22/24 for dinner so we came to eat around 6ish. The line was short. We got our order quick and the staff helping us were friendly. The place is super cool inside. The food tasted great and the ingredients were fresh. Not too bad price wise for the quality of food you get. It was about $12.95 for the sandwich. I would definitely come back and recommend stopping here. read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Menifee - Tuscan Chicken Sandwich - Gluten-Free Near Me - Menifee, California

This restaurant's food was a major disappointment,which served the worst food I've ever encountered.I'm baffled by how restaurants like this stay in business. I had invited my friend to celebrate her birthday, but the experience was embarrassing. Our visit was unpleasant, starting with the chicken sandwich I ordered, which featured bread that was steel-dry and could have been heated. My girlfriend's Tri-Tip dinner was a letdown, with everything tasting bland and dry, likely due to being leftover from days prior. The Tri-Tip was overcooked despite being ordered medium-well, while the mashed potatoes had an unpleasant consistency and taste. The entire meal was cold and tasteless. The customer service was unpleasant, with our young waitress , the facial expressions seemed impatient as we took our time to make menu choices and questions. Given the positive reviews, we were expecting a better experience. Unfortunately, our first visit was a disappointment, and we will not be returning. We didn't even bother to take pictures. read more

I wanted this place to be good, but right off the service was not friendly or helpful. As first-time guests we asked a few questions as the options were confusing, but were hurried along...the cashier didn't even know about the "toppings" menu or where to find the options....or just didn't want to. The food arrived and the rice was lumpy, cold and overcooked, the "Korean cauliflower" was hard, undercooked and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The thick chunks of tri-tip were dry, not nicely sliced as in the online menus, and tasted like fishy salmon they had cooked on the grill prior to my tri-tip. The only redeeming items were the chimichurri, the roasted squash my husband had on his plate and the soda. We won't be back. read more

I don't know what happened to the tri tip but it's almost inedible now so chewy it used to be so good what happened

Where are the managers? We were regular bushfire customers. But we've had too many poor experiences. The consistency isn't there. Bad management. Little to no attention to customer service. Period. The black haired bartender is a problem for business. Today was our 2nd bad experience with her. 3rd bad experience if you count the fact that she can't make a mojito to save her life. Her attitude is abysmal from someone who works as a bartender and relies on tips. Here's a tip, get another job. Their other bartender is awesome though. Avoid happy hour if the black haired angry looking bartender with bad tattoos there. She's always nasty. The blonde bartender is kind and personable. And makes better drinks. The food is usually ok. Some things are good, some things aren't even edible. The service is the issue. So inconsistent. Where are the managers? Why aren't they walking around the restaurant checking on diners experiences and monitoring the bar and dining room?. I'll tell you. They're playing on their laptops while teenagers and twenty something's make up their customer service policy on the spot. I run a business with a 5 star rating on help. You don't. We may or may not be back. Customer service matters. read more

Never again! It was my first time here and I'm said to say I will not be back. The customer service was not good. I got the tri tip bowl and it was not what I thought it would be. The tri tip was not seasoned, medium rare and tuff. The mash potatoes were ok. The little bit of Mac and cheese was creamy but not worth $6.00. My husband and I spent almost $60 all together and it's not worth it... :( read more

Great food & good service. Relaxing vibe - I'd definitely go back! I'd also like to try the beers next time!

My meal was the only disappointing one I've had at a Bushfire. We've been going to the Temecula location for years and everything is always delicious. The Menifee Bushfire needs some serious re-training in the kitchen on how to prepare certain items so they are up to standard. Our first time eating here was today, 6/11/25 and I ordered the "Garlic lemon chicken pita wrap." First thing I noticed was the pita bread was dry and crumbly so holding it was impossible without it falling apart. Biggest "No-no" was the chicken had no garlic or lemon flavor...at all. This sandwich was crying out for some kind of sauce but sadly there was none. I guess there's a first time for everything and this is the first time I've had boring, tasteless food at Bushfire. We'll be sticking with the Temecula location from now on. read more
