The food was very good. I ordered the brisket bowl. It's a great concept: pick a meat, a starch and a vegetable. I had never been here before so I didn't realize there was a bar outside until after I ordered my food and cocktail. I sat down at the bar and was promptly told I couldn't sit there even as she was handing me my drink. I chose a bar seat because I was by myself and didn't want to take up a full table. I have to guess I couldn't sit there because I ordered inside?? I would go back but it will be awhile. That interaction was unpleasant. Since the food was so good I'm giving it 3 stars. It could have been 5 stars. read more

Excellent!! This place was so good!! I like the style and tastiness of this place. I ordered the tritip sandwich and wow!! Delicious!!! Decently priced for food and drinks! Can't wait to go again. read more

First I want to say thank you to the staff of this restaurant, not only were they friendly they seemed to genuinely take pride in their work. I have been fed up with paying good money for poor service and subpar food, so when I find a restaurant in the current climate that is still putting their best on the table I want to make sure they are appreciated. Bushfire has delicious fresh ingredients and food is prepared with care and attention to detail. read more

First time I went into Bushfire was amazing, great tasting food, the lady at the counter was a little too stand off-ish, but overall the food made up for it. Yesterday I went in for dinner with my friend, it was packed, not surprising, food there is great, waited in line for like 20 mins to order, went to sit down waited about another 20 mins, and a guy walks out and asks my friend and I if our order was two tri tip bowls, we said yes, and he said they ran out of tri tip and it was about a 45 min wait, if I didn't have a toddler it would've been fine but my kid had to leave hungry and crying as we walked out, it was unfortunate that it wasn't told to us sooner, we got a full refund but my child wasn't able to eat dinner until I was able to find another place to eat at. read more

Was excited to finally try this restaurant. But was very disappointed! First our bill was almost $70 for myself my husband and my 4 year old. My husband ordered the chicken and ribs...he was asked if a breast and wing were ok because they were waiting on the other and then was charged an up charge for the breast. The guy taking the order should of said that! As a restaurant manager that is not acceptable! I ordered the ribs mashed potatoes and grilled veggies everything was cold. I happen to enjoy my food hot! My baby didnt eat but one bite of her burger. Sorry to say we wont be back which is a bummer because we are tired of these chain restaurants and were looking forward to something new. read more

Empenadas and the Bread were excellent. But very disappointed with the rice, brown was dry and hard, wait staff quickly replaced with white, but equally hard. Burger was good, but salmon patty a bit dry. Thank goodness for the special sauces. Just our experience for today...but thank you to Sergio and staff for being so accommodating with substitution. Still a Menifee fav! read more

"And this is why we don't try new places." This place had left me wishing I had gone to Red Robin. I ordered the brisket burger with a fried egg. It wasn't terrible. I'd give it a 6/10. It was just missing something. The fries were great though. Almost perfect. The first 2 beers I ordered were out so I settled for one the cashier suggested. Beer is beer so that's fine. My wife had the salmon entrée, and here's where the meat of the 2 star review lies. The salmon was completely raw in the middle. I returned it to the counter where the cashier asked if I would like a refund or if I would like another salmon. I asked her how long it would take and one of the cooks, who was chewing gum in violation of the health code, replied, "10 minutes." I asked for a refund because we had already waited nearly 20 minutes for the food before. The manager, Kate, came over and issued my refund and mentioned that the registers were running slowly so I could not have a receipt, but offered to text it to me once it printed out. My wife also ordered a soda to drink, of which there are no name brands, and only 5 of the 8 options were working. The ice machine was also not working so the soda she did get was room temperature. I'd like to see where this restaurant is in a year from now. The menu looked great and there were plenty of things I wanted to try, but I'll be cautious about returning here in the future. read more

I absolutely love to come eat here and the hard kombucha is awesome! Also they accommodate for my vegan options. Cindy (from Hawaii) is probably my main reason for coming here. She is so personable and so sweet. She is such an amazing person and I feel like we are best friends. She cares about me as a person and its hard to find true and honest people. Thank you Cindy for always making my visit here awesome! Thank you for having a beautiful soul read more

Our food was great! Then Sergio came to our table to ask how our meal was. He thanked us for coming to their restaurant and even gave us some extra braised brisket and chimichurri for the road! We'll definitely go back! read more

Love their food! Everything is great! Their service, their drinks, the steak salad, chicken sandwich.

Good not great. Wait was a bit long which I won't equate on to rating since they had just opened. Portions are small. I ordered the family meal chicken/ribs & it came with 1 side included. So I ordered the Brussels sprouts with it. Meal is suppose to be for a family, I would think family of four would be a norm. Thankfully I added an extra order of mashed potatoes because if I were to divide the sprouts we'd probably end up with two measly sprouts per person. I don't mind spending money on food, but that's just silly. read more

I have been a Customer at the Temecula location for years. Love the quality of the food. Visited their new Menifee restaurant today. Come on guys, be fair and open a Bushfire in Temecula exactly the same as the Menifee location. Same great menu but super cosy inside and outside. Great vibe! read more

Service is amazing food is delicious. We got the Veggie burger, mac n cheese, steak fries, sweet potatoe fries( has a hint of clove) a beer and chardonnay. . Definitely will be back read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Menifee - Steak fries - Gluten-Free Near Me - Menifee, California

See all

I was super excited to go to this restaurant I ordered the California burger and my friend ordered the salmon burger. I also got a chicken tender and Mac & cheese for my daughter, the salmon burger was ice cold (wonder why) the Mac and cheese looks and tastes like it was sitting for days (also cold) given attitude for returning meal. read more

We were in the area and figured trying out this newer spot. Im a vegan and at first glance didn't see many options. So I orded all the small veggie sides (all labeled vegan). The sides were fabulous! I couldn't even eat it all and itd was not expensive. The atmosphere was great eith pstio seating, misters and a full bar. I will definitely be back and hopefully they will add more vegan options! read more

First time here. Braised brisket bowl was tasty. The chicken empanada was good and the sauce with it was great. However, tri- tip steak was dry. Lots of good options for fountain drinks. Von was very welcoming and helpful, glad he came and spoke to us. read more

I came in the other day to try this new location, because I loved the temecula location so much! Let's just say, it's somehow even better! The food came out quick, it was extremely flavorful, and the service was absolutely wonderful! I was greeted when I walked in and my cashier (Noah) was very friendly/helpful! He suggested that I try the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and the veggie empanadas. Needless to say, they were both delicious and I ate everything I ordered! So happy with the new location, will be back very soon! read more

I had lunch here with a big group, Murrieta Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, and the set up for us was super nice and efficient on the patio that was reserved exclusively for the group. They had a drink station with 3 different beverage dispensers. They had complimentary veggie, chicken and beef empanadas with delicious chimichurri sauce on the tables as an appetizer, and a special menu hand-picked for the group. I had the Thai Chicken Curry Bowl which was to die for! If the Coronavirus has forced them to close for their in-house dining, definitely get it to go! read more

Very good food. I was able to order online and when I got there I simply let them know via my phone and someone brought the food to my car.

So good love this place. Friendly service great quality. Have never had any complaints.

Two stars for the polite staff. Other than that, food is comparable to hospital food. The ones you get as a patient. Expensive and over hyped. Will not eat there unless I'm forced to read more

Paid over $50 for 2 meals. Was served old brown avocados and lime wedges. Really small serving for something that cost so much. Salad with no dressing? Really? Never again. read more

This is my go to place for a pleasant outside eating experience in Menifee. The food and drinks are exceptional.

My wife and I stopped in for a outside eating date and tried their million dollar BLT all I can say is wow really good looking forward to coming back. read more

Really good food but I can't give it 5 stars. For one, self serve food can't be 5 stars a really excellent shitdown gourmet restaurant gets 5 stars if worth it. That being said, the food was excellent, staff very pleasant and choices ample. Will go back but will never get 5 stars from this critic. read more

Great newish spot. Appreciate the variety on the menu. Staff is friendly but the outdoor dining/bar area is popular and fill quickly. Food is very good. Recommend the chicken empanadas with their chimichurri sauce. read more

Fast friendly and great food! Staff is great felt like I was at chic fil a! Food is amazing

Food was good- but pricey. Service was not good. They didn't seem concerned that their service wasn't good either. Staff or manager. We won't be back read more

This place's food used to be better the staff at the menifee location look miserable like they hate their job and don't care to give any form of customer service. read more

Good wholesome and delicious food! Great customer service!

Was so hoping that what I had heard about from soft opening would be true of food after regular opening. Sadly I was unimpressed the bacon on my sandwich was cold hard and unappealing. The Mac and cheese was not at a equal temperature but ranged from warm to a little warmer. This was after 2 pm and they were not busy but had ample staff to handle the 6-8 tables that were occupied. I can only hope that things improve. But for now I am unimpressed :( read more

Love the home style cooking, as well as the effort to use local ingredients! The food is delicious! Impossible to pick a favorite thing on the memo since they have a good variety of things to order, but the curry bowl is perhaps the go to I revisit the most. read more

Love the environment. Very chill. Staff are friendly. This is my 1st time & will definitely be coming back.

Everything was great. It's an order and seat yourself place, great with our kids. We sat outside and the patio heaters were nice. Food was really good and fair priced. We got a brisket bowl and the chicken and ribs plate. Both were super good. Also had the house IPA which I really enjoyed. Can't wait to come back. A nice change of pace from the normal menifee fare. read more

Despite some of the reviews, we decided to try it out! We live in Lake Elsinore and I had always wanted to try it out while in the area. I ordered the Short Rib Bowl with Mashed Potato's and Veggies and my father and sister both ordered the Tri Tip Bowl with Rice and Veggies. The Short Ribs bowl was delicious!!! The sauce was amazing , the mashed potatoes fluffy and the veggies grilled to perfection. My father and sister loved their Tri Tip bowl, they said the meat was perfectly tender. I also took my little to the restroom, they had a baby changing station that was clean along with the restroom! Safe to say I wills be bringing my husband soon to try my new favorite place. read more

Jeremiah was our server/cashier & he was amazing! His extensive knowledge of the menu really helped us since it was our first time. We will definitely be back. read more

Delicious food! Not too expensive but not to cheap. Their bowls are so good! The rice was my only issue my rice was a little crunchy (when it gets left out in the open and it gets cold & crunchy) other than that the tri trip & chipotle ribs were yummy as well as the cauliflower & sweet potato. Great that they do happy hour DAILY twice a day! I believe itS 2-5 then again 8-close(: read more

I usually don't give reviews, but this is warranted. I've visited the Bushfire Kitchen in Menifee multiple times over the course of the past few weeks. They just opened the patio/bar about 3 weeks ago. The bartenders are awesome, personable and responsive. Of course, nights get busy, but they handle it. What I like most is that I'm able to order food at the bar instead of having to go inside to order. It's a convenience to order with my bartender instead of having two separate checks. I want to say, everyone come on down to Bushfire Kitchen - Menifee. But that would mean a bigger crowd, wait time, etc. lol Just make sure I have my two seats at the bar to the far right. Shout out to Megan & Amy!! read more

5 stars! If I can give them 10 I would!! I had the spinach and strawberry salad and it was SO GOOD! Tasted like candy. I also got the millionaire BLT and that bacon was sent straight from Heaven!! The whole meal came from Heaven!! Bombest meal I've had in awhile!! It was worth every dollar!! Bush read more

Great service and amazing food. Glad we finally have a quality restaurant in Menifee!
