Exploring the area, I decided to try this spot to try a burger and fries. Service was awesome as I was seated quickly and given a menu. There was another group in there catching up,so it was a nice and chill vibe inside. The food was pretty good. The burger was juicy, and the fries were cooked just right as well. Definitely a solid spot to go to if you're in the mood for a burger and fries. I'd definitely go again. read more

Crush & Brew - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

We had a bday reservation for crush & brew and here's my suggestions vs negativity. Check what entertainment will be going on we were limited to talking through dinner because it was so loud. Make sure that you have that understanding with your waiter/waitress that your food is running on time because we were a party of 5 and it took like 30 minutes minimum to receive our food...now I know what you're saying it's a weekend night pack your patience but however we watched a table of 9 who came after us receive the food and pay the tab and go by the time we received our meal. The food and drinks were amazing and the mgr was very apologetic but at that point there wasn't a whole lot he could do for us for we were already going to be paying and calling it a night, we just wanted to make him aware of the situation! So you'll definitely enjoy crush and brew but just be aware of tips and suggestions! read more

We made a Mother's Day reservation expecting a nice family meal and had one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. The restaurant was nearly empty -- maybe 3 tables occupied -- yet it took over an hour for the first plate to arrive, and it was cold. Then another cold plate. Then another. By the time the remaining meals came out, also cold, everyone was frustrated and honestly just over it. Instead of trying to fix the situation, staff asked if we wanted boxes while we were still sitting there clearly unhappy and barely served. The final straw was my father-in-law saying, "I'll just eat my burger, I'm starving." The manager brought it out already boxed and bagged. He had specifically requested no lettuce. When he mentioned it, she confidently replied, "Sir, that burger doesn't even come with lettuce." We opened the bun. Full lettuce. The expression on her face said it all. No accountability, poor service, cold food, and a completely disappointing Mother's Day experience. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Friendly staff & fun bar environment. Based on the drinks menu, the location is far more "Brew" than "Crush". Their wine selection is minimal. read more

The service & staff was great. They do bingo night every Tuesdays. We had such a fun time on bingo night. The lady calling out the numbers was hilarious. But the food was just ok. My son didn't like his Mac n cheese & said it was bland. My fish n chips was so small & overcooked. I only got 1 fish & my whole dinner consisted of mostly just fries. The fries was good tho. My husband's crushed burger was overcooked, meat patty was small, and the buns weren't toasted. We would love to come back here for the bingo night. Maybe try other things on the menu. read more

I stopped in last night to grab a cocktail. I had wanted to do the trivia night but I came too late and missed it. I'll have to come back another day. I love that they have Christmas decorations this year. There wasn't too many people inside, but I did come later in the evening close to closing time. I don't recall the name of my drink, but it was delicious. I didn't catch the bartender's name, but he was great and Aspen is always very nice as well. read more

The location is great, drinks are alright and food is decent. What I don't understand is the servers? Like why aren't the servers hustling and attending to what ever tables are occupied? What's the point of having servers in a restaurant if you have to walk over to the bar to order drinks and food? It just doesn't make sense. Seems there needs to be some education on what good quality customer service is. Side Joy; live the live band. read more

We went to Crush & Brew for dinner during a Bachelorette weekend, and overall had a good time! Our server did a great job keeping up with our group of 12, which isn't easy. The restaurant was pretty full and seemed like a local spot, which gave it a fun, lively vibe. It happened to be karaoke night--maybe it's every night? Either way, it was entertaining, even though most people seemed to be picking really depressing songs. Not Crush & Brew's fault, just an observation. Food-wise, we mostly enjoyed everything, though there were a few misses within our group. I personally loved the fried zucchini--freshly made, crispy, and a generous portion. The bacon fries were also solid and came in a good size. My caprese salad was the last dish to come out, and while it was fine, it definitely needed some salt and pepper. The owner sent over some shots for our table, which we really appreciated! Overall, we had a fun time and would definitely go back. read more

I was traveling home and decided to take a walk to stretch my legs in Downtown Temecula. For it being a Sunday it was so busy and crowded with folks, seeming to do the same. After my walk I decided to grab a bite to eat before making my way home, so i stopped at Crush & Brew. The featured foods were along the lines of California Cuisine - fresh and quick. The menu had a brunch side, which had me curious about the fried rice with pork belly. Instead I opted for something a bit lighter: caprese salad and wings. The staff was very accommodating and offered me their favorite way of ordering wings - which worked out nicely. The wings came well seasoned and prepared as I requested: extra crispy. The salad was fresh, clean, and the basalmic drizzle was great. The restaurant was pretty quiet with some folks opting to sit out doors, so it made for nice ambiance and a quiet lunch. read more

You're getting 2 stars because of the delightful young lady who helped us. Rod Run weekend, it was shockingly dead inside. We got a couple drinks and sat outside to people watch. We both ordered a snack, Abominable Fries (a bistro take on animal fries.... Everybody loves a good fry. Add cheese and grilled onions, chop some steak, let it sit for 20 minutes and get cold and soggy, completely forget the bacon we paid extra for and you got it! Abomination fries!!! You can get fries right? When it's slow? No need to come back... read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the manager, Aaron, was disappointing. I came in with a concern and expected a professional conversation, but instead I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Rather than listening and trying to understand the situation, Aaron seemed more interested in being argumentative than providing customer service. I understand that misunderstandings can happen, but there's no reason for a manager to speak to customers in a disrespectful manner. A manager should set the standard for professionalism, and unfortunately that was not my experience. I hope the business addresses this issue, because respectful communication goes a long way in maintaining customer trust and loyalty. read more

Super cute Halloween decorations! Came to old town for a drink. I found parking right away on side street and was headed to 1909. I passed this place and honestly, it was so cute that I just had to try it out. I was seated right away. I ordered an espresso martini (which was good and strong) and the brew burger. The burger was ok but I wouldn't order it again. I would definitely come back to try other items on the food menu. read more

The food was okay but I was expecting better for the price. The service was again just okay. The service was good but nothing a little attention to the customers wouldn't help. The serving sizes was good but again for the price I would expect more. The ambiance was the Star of the visit. Sitting outside and watching the people was a great. Cool breeze was awesome. Overall a good experience and I would give it another try. Maybe because it was a weekday lunch was the reason for the okay experience. read more

Good food, great service, it was nice to have lunch on the outdoor patio on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! But what was weird was that Yelp said there was over an hour wait. So we got on the waitlist, then we went about 15 minutes early and the restaurant was empty at 1:00pm! read more

Nice environment! Great drinks and love the appetizers. They have live music and on occasion karaoke

I absolutely love this place. It is a very nice and enjoyable environment. Great service. The truffle fries are my absolute favorite and they have good mixed drinks in a good variety of beer. I would definitely recommend this place. I come here a lot to hang out on the patio and just enjoy my day and old town. It's a very authentic place, not sold out like the rest of the other places in old town. read more

The food is so-so. The amount charged to my credit card did not resemble the check I had been given. We were celebrating a birthday..the complementary birthday dessert was on my check then subtracted---but I was taxed for the dessert and I had selected %20 for the tip and amount of the dessert also was included in the %20 for the tip. The final receipt printed for me indicated this is standard practice. Check your receipt at Crush and Bre read more

This would have been a one star review had it not been for our server. She is a gem. We sat on the patio during the Rod Run figuring we would have a beer and something to eat. Hubs ordered the Abominable fries with steak and bacon and I ordered them with chicken. My fries had chicken that was cold, like it was meant for a salad which made it weird to eat. The cheese was sparse but the fries were warm/hot. The other order had no bacon, fries were lukewarm at best and a piece of the steak was so bad he had to spit it out. The server was great. So much so that we didn't send the food back, we just told her at the end so she was aware. She still got a generous tip. Won't be back. read more

Service was ok. Our waitress seemed to ignore us after we got our first drinks so we ended up just having the single round. The ambiance was pretty nice. Dimly lit wine bar look. Our drinks were really good. The bartender really knows what they are doing behind that bar. I would've loved to sit at the bar and just ask the bartender to make their specialties. We also had Vinegar and salt fries. They had to be one of the best fries is not the best fries I've ever had. Definitely recommend the fries. They have a few different options. I highly recommend the giant Pretzel also. It was pretty much a perfect pretzel. They obviously care about quality at this establishment. I would like to try more things here but I tried to wave down the waitress for about 30min. She would even look my way with my hand raised. She would even check in the table next to us face my direction with my hand raised and she would just walk by even if we made eye contact. We weren't rude or loud or anything. We were very courteous so we couldn't figure out why she was like that way with us. We felt we could've walked out without paying our bill but we are too honest to do that. We timed it as it was definitely over 20min close to 30min with my hand raised and the waitress just walked around our table so instead of ordering more we decided to pay for what we already consumed and leave. read more

Visited this establishment with a couple of friends on Saturday, May 2, based on the vibe. Ordered a salad and a Flatbread pizza. The other couple received their order. We waited, and waited, no server, no order. The restaurant wasn't packed, there were plenty of empty tables......Finally able to flag someone down to cancel our order, as our friends finished their food. Ended up leaving without eating. Hungry people beware. read more

From Chicago, first time in Temecula today. Stopped at C & B for lunch. Some thots: --the kitchen was slow but the service was outstanding, excellent communication! --ordered the fish and chips. The fries are average steak fries, but the fish was high quality. Really lightly breaded and delicious. --some people in our group ordered chicken fingers and didn't like them, not great chicken. --however, two in our group ordered the chicken wings and really liked them. Overall, good ambiance, service, and food. Highly recommended! read more

Takeout. Make sure to get your parking in the gravel parking lot validated right away. We watched the rodrun outside for a few minutes before entering and got a $170 parking ticket. But, fortunately hubs grabbed my jacket from the car before coming in and server, Ari assured us that it wouldn't be a problem due to a short time lapse between ticket and our validation. We ordered the TT burger to go. Wow- a generous juicy beef patty bathed in succulent sweet onions and tremendous flavor. Loved the fries too. Will definitely come again for a sit down meal and for sure, remember to get validated right away. Recommend! EG Eats read more

While spending the day in Temecula yesterday my wife and I learned of Thomson & Twin which is a speakeasy that we thought was new but has apparently been here for a while now. It's located right inside Crush & Brew which I've been to several times, but never knew they had a speakeasy. While waiting for our turn to enter, we were given a couple tickets for 10% off at C&B's bar, so we made our way over to it and were immediately greeted by Joey. Joey got me started on an old fashioned and prepared a bespoke drink for my wife which I believe had mezcal and bourbon both of which are her favorite spirits. The drinks were perfectly crafted and combined great spirits with flavors. After finishing our first round we asked for something else creative and kind of left it up to him to make us what he wanted. He then prepared a very refreshing tequila drink for her and a slightly different one for me which had flavors of cucumber and was all around a very refreshing drink. We even got to sample a little bit of his version of an espresso martini which was quite delicious and could definitely get you in trouble if you're not careful due to how great it was. We had a great time at Crush & Brew while waiting to get in to Thompson & Twain and Joey made sure that everyone at his bar was getting taken care of. It's no mystery why these guys have serving old town Temecula as long as they have. Until next time C&B! Thanks for the great drinks! read more

The beers were OK, and the food was just OK. My friend enjoyed her mocktail. The server was attentive, and checked on us often. I would probably get a cocktail next time. For the food, specifically we ordered the pork belly fries, and they were definitely undercooked and had very little pork belly on them. The fish and chips had a really nice breading, but overall the flavor of the fish was pretty bland even with tartar sauce. The real saving grace of this place was the speakeasy located inside. That place was lively, and the drinks were delicious. See my separate review for Thompson and Twain prospecting co. read more

Would've given a zero if it was possible. We were looking for a chill spot to finish out the weekend and grab a quick bite before heading out. There was a handful of people inside so we assumed it would be a swift little lunch. BOY were we wrong!! Service was slow and unaccomadating. Kitchen was "backed up" so food came out after 45min of waiting... and our food came out separately. We got: Buffalo chicken wings - dry, tough and not enough sauce Avocado toast - overpriced, a quarter of an avocado and under seasoned Turkey Club subbed chicken - they ran out of turkey. Chicken had zero seasoning even with the extra sauce on the side. We were told "that's not how the sandwich comes" when we complained. Overall, would not recommend. read more

The owner is really down to earth, mingles with the guests and they added comedy nights which I love!

Crush & Brew is absolutely amazing! The owners truly go above and beyond to make sure every guest is well taken care of --The food was incredible, full of flavor and beautifully presented. But the real highlight of the night was our waiter, Cody. His service was exceptional -- friendly, attentive, and genuine. What blew me away was that he actually remembered me from a winery ten years ago -- and even remembered the exact drink I used to order! That level of care and memory says everything about the kind of service you can expect here. If you haven't been to Crush & Brew yet, do yourself a favor and go. You'll be treated like family from the moment you walk in. read more
