Jessie is one of the best bar tenders in Temecula. Great service great personality! If you haven't tried this place then you gotta come in for happy hour and hang with her! read more

Went this past weekend for the one year anniversary and all the events they had going on was awesome. We loved checking out the vendors in the front and coming in to enjoy my favorite sandwich the short rib grill cheese. We had Amber as our waitress and she is by far the best server in California. She is always so attentive and knowledgeable. We don't get to come in often as we live a bit far away but we try and make it every other month or when we see on social media about any cool events. Always such a pleasure getting to see Amber and enjoying her bubbly personality. We will keep coming back. read more

Amber was amazing! I Place and food amazing... but Amber made it awesome ! Thank you amber ! read more

After a dismal and disappointing stop at a franchise sports bar, I took a chance on Hendos and did they deliver!! Every screen in the joint inside and outside was on the World Cup match; play-by-play blaring from every speaker in the place including the restrooms to the delight of all in attendance Happy Hour cocktails, appetizers and entrees and overly attentive staff Loved it! The perfect spot for World Cup viewing! read more

I've been here more than once, and it's definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. The first server was outstanding. She was juggling multiple responsibilities--including printing labels for what looked like back-of-house operations--while still providing friendly, attentive service. She did a great job. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of Hendo's. Plenty of TVs, a great bar, and a comfortable, inviting space that's easy to relax in. Even the unsweet iced tea stood out--it actually had good flavor, which is surprisingly rare. The appetizers were very good, and the Fourth of July brisket special was an excellent value. There was plenty of food, and the brisket itself was delicious. My only suggestion would be to automatically serve it with barbecue sauce instead of making guests ask for it. Once the original server had to move on to other duties, service slowed down quite a bit. The young gentleman who took over wasn't very attentive, and it took longer than it should have to get the things i needed. Even with that, I still gave Hendo's four stars. The atmosphere, the food, and the overall experience make it a place that's well worth visiting. We'll definitely be back. read more

Hendos Barrel House - The bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Temecula, California

So much fun! We came to watch the World Cup and had a blast. The food was delicious, and the specials were good. Our server, Lydia, was friendly, attentive, and did a wonderful job. I'm taking off one star because of our experience with the hostess, Angie. When we first arrived to meet my girlfriend, who was already seated upstairs waiting for a table, Angie was surprisingly rude (and continued to be rude whenever we dealt with her). Then, after waiting over 45 minutes, we were told we had been "inadvertently" removed from the waitlist and they weren't sure how that might have happened. Thankfully, everything worked out in the end, and we still had a great time. We'd definitely come back and hope for a smoother check-in experience next time. read more

This place is crazy cool. It's a huge sports bar that has actual boxing matches. The atmosphere is great but the food and service is lacking and very pricey for what you get. They gave us empty glasses on our table. After about 10 minutes we had to go retrieve our own water pitchers and pour our own water. Most of us didn't eat all our food and we had a party of 11. If you're coming for the fun and atmosphere then by all means come here. The bar looks like it's good and I've heard the bloody Mary's are good. read more

Meh, these type of places are popping up all over the place. You know sleek black counters and tables, glass and reclaimed wood everywhere and plenty of Giant TVs. A perch for Merch is just inside the door and the main room is rather sparse with plenty of room for more tables. Arriving on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I found the place tepid with nary a welcome from the hosts, were there any? maybe not. We chose some spots at the bar, overcrowded with a motorcycle club on one end we sat at one end in close quarters to others. The 2 female bartenders seemed stand- of-ish and neither knew if there was or wasn't a drink special. No recommendations on the beers and that's odd for a brewery with 3 bartenders that weren't busy. The third was a tall young man who was kind, chatty and knew his basketball. He remained busy stocking the bar our entire 30 minute stay. Beers are on the high end but I was still surprised to get a check before the beer. My buddy may have or might not have liked his house beer, Unremarkable either way was my impression, then my Modello was served in a broken glass. The next day a neighbor told me all about Hendo and what a good guy he was and how he had trained his boys a few decades ago. The place has potential but the Manager needs to wake up his staff and insert some Hendo energy into that cavernous room. read more

Hendos Barrel House - My check was dropped before my beer arrived... some welcome!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Temecula, California

Used to box at the gym, this is the first time visiting the Barrel House. Was seated immediately, took our drink orders, ordered lunch. Laura was our server and she was perfect. Answering questions and helped direct us through the menu. Our food came (pictured) my fiancé ordered the Ahi tuna salad, it was plentiful and quite good. She was extremely satisfied and raved about it. I ordered the 14oz Rib Eye! It was a center cut and was very tender. I highly recommend it, and I ordered the mac n cheese as my side because it was made in house. Perfectly done and very cheesy. ( I dipped my last 3 pieces of steak in the cheese sauce, because I am that white trash lol) Our drinks were iced tea and strawberry lemonade. The whole meal was perfect and the company was even better. Do yourself a favor and visit. Great food with something for everyone. 5 stars +!!!! read more

Hendos Barrel House - Push arrow and then go there and have a beer! - Steakhouses Near Me - Temecula, California

We went to Hendos on a Sunday afternoon. For say pretty quickly! The restaurant was pretty lively. Lots of TVs and a couple of bars. The upstairs was open and people were like dancing which I thought was cool. My husband and got the ribeye and we both enjoyed it very much! Great seasoning and cook. The ribeye is thinner than what I am used to but no complaints here. The fries were just okay but I think the truffle fries would be a better choice for this type of french fry. We got a side salad that was actually quite shareable. The veggies were also seasoned and cooked well. Great food! Our server Rolando was always around for us to ask for anything and it was always very quick! read more

Came here on 5/2/2026 for my 54th birthday and it is top notch all the way around the ring! Well thought out with plenty to look at including huge screen TV's, comfortable seating with attention to detail, along with the most important feature of memorabilia throughout the dining room. Service is attentive and plentiful for all the patrons. Food is delicious and the cocktails hot the chin as hard as the man himself! Don't sleep or get slept on Hendos! read more

Hendos Barrel House - Steakhouses Near Me - Temecula, California

We were in town and decided to check out Hendos Barrel House. As we entered, we saw a gym to the right. There were lots of souvenirs hats and shirts for sale. As we were seated, we saw lots of big screen TVs to enjoy from any of the tables. A very nice bar area as well. The decor is predominantly Hendo's boxing theme. The shiny belts are very impressive. We ended up ordering the 14 oz ribeyes. It comes with two sides. The steaks were tasty. The steaks came with roasted garlic and that was great with the potatoes. The salad was very refreshing. Overall, a nice restaurant! A bit on the pricey side. Well, everything has been pricey, not just this place. A great place to gather with friends and family. I saw other menu items I'd like to try next time. Clean bathroom. Friendly staff. Ample parking! read more

We came here with out of town family on a Friday night. It was loud, especially once the band started, but we were able to move to a table outside. I had a chicken club sandwich and it was amazing. The fries were also delicious. Regarding service - it was great. There was an error on one of the dishes at they took it off of our bill. I work nearby and look forward to returning soon! read more

The place when you enter is huge inside, nice decor they have a fighting ring on the side for fight nights, if you're interested. They have large outside seating as well. Cool vibe . We went at 11 am and we were the only group of ladies there so seated quickly. For food we ordered a sandwich with sweet potato fries , the waitress told us the fries were included with the sandwich but was not clear that there was going to be an up charge for sweet potato fries. Unfortunately our waitress was not very attentive either . We were given empty water glasses but no water. My friend had to get up and grab the pitcher of water that was sitting on the work station and served all 10 of us water and no waitress bothered to help or noticed us. Every-time I would try to get a waitresses attention that was passing by , I felt ignored , lots of TVs around so noise level is higher but I didn't want to shout out either. Portion size of food $21 for just a sandwich was I thought way overpriced and nothing special, with an up charge of $2 for the fries. My friend ordered the Cobb salad , that was a good decent size salad, The atmosphere is the only thing that it has going for it. read more

Overall great experience for my first time at Hendo's. It's located right next to Dan Henderson's fitness gym. It's a nice place that looks like a brewery/distillery. I got here right before happy hour so waited a bit to order. Laura was my server and she was great! Very attentive and super friendly. I started off with a cocktail (pear pressure), which was not off the happy hour menu but very delicious and well worth the full price. I then ordered the smash burger with some steak fries on the side. It was more than enough food. The burger was really good. Tender and juicy. The fries had white type of nacho cheese. It was soooo good! I decided to get 2 flatbreads so I can take them to go. Margherita and pepperoni were more like pizza than flatbreads. Very tasty!!! I brought them home and family put on air fryer. They were stop as good as they were fresh. This is definitely a good place to dine and have some drinks. I will be stopping by here again! Happy hour has a great selection and if service continues the way Laura gave it. This place will stay at 5 stars for me! read more

Hendo's seems like it would be an awesome place if you were just going there to watch a sporting event such as World Cup or NFL and you had some drinks and bar food. The drinks were good, but we were under impressed with the quality and taste of our entrées. There was also a band that was so loud, no one at our table could communicate with each other. This was not a band that I would categorize as heavy, metal, etc. Just some guys playing some songs, but the acoustics were not that great. Everything sounded muffled and loud. So my opinion would be: Food = No Music = No Drinks = Yes Sports Bar Atmosphere = Yes read more

Charlie is the best server! She is so attentive and friendly. Thank you for a great night! read more

Jaw-dropping was my first reaction as I entered Hendo's for the first time with my family in tow. I was blown away by the enthusiasm of the smiling staff, with pride written on their faces. I didn't want to sit down for Happy Hour without first taking a quick tour of a very impressive venue called Hendo's. The main room is vast and open with at least 30' ceilings. Wow!!! You can see all key areas, including: main dining, incredible bar, upper floor dancing/ party section serviced by an amazing elevator, a glass-enclosed room of giant tanks and equipment where they brew the Hendo line of beers. There is an amazing outside area designed for food, live entertainment, and dancing. Simply amazing!! After being seated, we were immediately greeted by Amber, our server. Like all the staff we would meet, Amber made us feel at home and always provided service with a smile. We ordered steaks, burgers, and awesome Cobb salads. Our food was prepared to perfection and with generous portions. Amber was kind enough to introduce Abby, who manages the restaurant services. She was very nice and shared the history of Hendo's and, of course, the main inspiration for all we were experiencing: Dan Henderson, better known as Hendo. Abby told us she would ask Hendo to visit our table to say hello. But first, we should meet Sam, the floor general for all of Hendo's except for the Octagon/training area. I envisioned Sam to be 6'4", 275lbs, but Sam is a lady, a diminutive ball of energy who instantly made you feel appreciated and welcomed. Sam told me how Hendo, Dan Henderson, and family were committed to giving back through charities and programs, especially in support of our youth. Did I mention Hendo is a retired and highly respected MMA/ UFC athlete? As if there wasn't enough to mention, a full-sized Octogan ring and training area are located as part of Hendo's. I don't know that much about what is offered at their fully equipped gym. That's anonother upcoming review. In closing, Hendo came to our table to say hello and to show his appreiciation for my family being there. We took pictures and enjoyed a great conversation. It was quite obvious why Hendo's is a must to visit. I't a graat place to enjoy family, friends. It's a place filled with happy, smiling staff inspired by their leader named Hendo. We will be celebrating our son's bithday today at Hendos 6/9 read more

Came for the World Cup match. Didn't have a reservation, but was seated really quick. We had Alexaundra as our waitress. In spite of the crowd (it was packed), she was great! She apologized for the delay, but the wait time did not seem any worse than any other restaurant/bar. Alexaundra was incredibly attentive and very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

The brussels sprouts were 10 out of 10. Our burger was so flavorful and top-of-the-line grade A beef. Now our server Kevin was top-notch he was so accommodating, friendly and welcoming. I would definitely ask for him each time we come back and we definitely will be coming back asking for Kevin. We need more servers like him! read more

My foodie group went to Hendo's yesterday. I had the shrimp and grits, which were good but didn't realize balsamic came on top. I don't like balsamic but it was a swirl so it didn't take over the flavor. For the most part, the service was good and fast, except we were not offered water so one of us went and got a nearby pitcher and poured our own. The lighting was not good; we turned on our phone flashlights so we could read the menu. About an hour later, the big glass door was opened, which brought in more light. read more

Jessica at Hendos is truly one of a kind! Not only does she make incredible drinks, but she went far above and beyond to make a dream come true for me. Thanks to Jessica's kindness, effort, and genuine care, I was able to meet my favorite artist, Gary Levox from Rascal Flatts , something I will never forget. She didn't have to go out of her way to help, but she did, and her thoughtfulness turned a great night into one of the most memorable experiences of my life. On top of that, her drinks were absolutely amazing, and her friendly personality made everyone feel welcome. It's rare to find someone who is both exceptionally talented at their job and so dedicated to making customers feel special. Thank you, Jessica, for the outstanding service, the amazing drinks, and for helping create a memory that I'll cherish forever. Hendos is lucky to have you! read more

Cool place! Trying it out since we saw it listed on the InKind app. Lots and lots of seating, its huge inside and has a great outside patio area. So many TVs, which is a nice plus. The actual gym is connected to the restaurant. Hostess was so nice and greeted us right away. Weren't too many people there, I think because lunch didn't start until 1:30 pm on Saturday, we were surprised to hear that. Our server was also very good, she explained the menu to us, they had limited lunch items, in addition to the brunch/breakfast items. We got the wings, a burger and a breakfast plate, as well as prosecco. The wings were really good, but you only get a 6 piece, which makes the cost around $3 per wing. The breakfast was good also, but pricey for a basic plate of eggs, hashbrowns, 2 sausages and toast ($17). Burger my man had was good, a bit on the smaller side but he liked it. So, we would def come back with another deal/coupon of some sort but not without. They had fight night going on, maybe have to try that one day. read more

Let me just say.... Charli is the best. We only sit with her because she always goes the extra mile. Food and atmosphere are also awesome.

My wife and I are late to the table with Hendos. Pun intended! Sure glad we tried it. We are a sitting at the bar kinda couple and Hendo's has a good one. To start, the food is very good. The drinks are too. The stand outs are the people, we have met a lot of people there and we hope to see them again. But what keeps us coming back are the staff. They are amazing. Here are a few, we just met Andrew, he can make the kinds of drinks that I didn't know were possible, amazing mixologist and just a good person. What has kept us coming back is Jess. When we think about going out for a drink, we think Jess! She is right away easy with smile, makes you feel she has waiting to see you. She mixes great drinks, pays attention to us and has made us feel like we have known her forever. Shout out Jess! This place puts it all together. read more

I just wanted to recognize Jessie at Hendo's Barrel House for the amazing service she gave my wife and me. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel welcome and treated us like family. She was attentive, friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. Her customer service was honestly some of the best we've ever experienced. Jessie is a huge asset to Hendo's, and I hope the owner knows how much she is appreciated. She made our visit memorable, and we'll definitely be back because of the great experience she provided. Thank you, Jessie, for going above and beyond! read more

The vibe in here is just great. I love the open space and decor. Having designated parking spots for motorcycles is a bonus. The staff were friendly and took care of our group.

After a full day of fishing at Diamond Valley Lake we stopped in Hendo's In Temecula on our way home to Escondido. As a deep fan of UFC since its inception, I was more than happy to support Dan's establishment. Saturday night at 630p so we made a reservation online. This was a great call and our table was ready upon arrival. Started off bad as we really had to search for a place to park. Lots of NO HENDO PARKING in the adjacent lots. We got in the lobby and realized why...there was a live MMA event going on in his gym which is adjacent to the restaurant. I guess on normal nights, things would have been different. Great waiter, very knowledgeable. I had the steak flatbread and a side Caesar salad, chased down with a 20oz HENDO Mexican lager. Noticed at the end of our meal that they actually do brew their own beer here! My lager was crisp and one of the better ones I've had. Great decor, employees, I can't wait to go back. Next meal will be for steaks. Hendo should be proud of what he's built! read more

I stopped in last night Monday 1/26/26. It was happy hour so I ordered a drink an appetizer and a burger. The drink and the fries were so good. The smash burger was not my favorite. My friend ordered Nashville hot chicken wings which were amazing and the Cajun shrimp, that was super good too. When I come back I definitely want to try the crab cakes. The place looked nice and everyone was super friendly. Our server James was also really great. He was super attentive and gave his opinions when I asked him what drink I should order. Definitely coming back and recommend stopping here. read more

This place is HUGE! Gorgeous! Love the vibes here. Finally made it out to this new establishment and I'm glad we did. It's the kind of place that you come to with great friends. You'll want to come when you're not in a rush and can enjoy great food and great conversation. Or even on a date night when you just want to get to know someone. You get it! Service was friendly and super attentive. Okay, the food was good. We enjoyed the burger, 10 out of 10! The pretzel was also delicious. The French Onion soup is something you'll have to try for yourself. Some of us loved it, some thought it was too chunky. Short rib grilled cheese was on point. There's definitely many other items we need to try so we'll be back. read more

Great place to eat. Nice open space with many TV scenes for sports (World Cup on while we were there). They were setting up for a live band to be playing later in the day. Fun atmosphere with courteous attentive staff. Made a reservation and got seated right away. Looking for a romantic dinner, maybe not your place. Looking a good time, you will not be disapointed. I will be back. read more

Let me start off by saying this place is a hidden gem. From the outside, you wouldn't expect it to be so huge! We found this gem on yelp. It's so nicely decorated and a good place to definitely have drinks! They have great boxing/ufc decor! Service was excellent! Our waitress was awesome and gave us some recommendations as this was our first time. We started off with the bourbon meatballs which were so tender and had cheese in them which made them for me even better! Flavoring was definitely there and would get again! I had the short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato fries and that thing was huge! I ate half my sandwich and barely touched my fries. It was so tender and the cheese just made it that much more delicious, paired with the au jus which gave it that salt that brought it all together. Def a must try! Hubby got the shrimp and grits and said that was amazing. The portion for him was huge! He took half of it home. Our daughter had the Mac and cheese bites with fries which she enjoyed but even for the kids, portions are huge so definitely getting a bang for your buck! Desserts we tried the creme brûlée and butter cake. Creme brûlée was like a donut and crunchy on the outside. Very tasty and hubby enjoyed. The butter cake tasted so good just by itself! It came topped with a cinnamon ice cream which to me tasted like a churro, wasn't bad but I would see if I can do plain vanilla next time since I'm not a big churro fan like hubby. Overall, great experience, service excellent, wait time there was none for a Sunday afternoon, ambience awesome! Would definitely recommend and be back to bring the rest of the fam! Thank you for the delicious food and service! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share our experience at Hendo's during their Super Bowl party. I genuinely love supporting small businesses, and we actually found out about the event through social media, which I appreciated. The positives: Plenty of parking, a great location, and the rustic/industrial décor is really well done -- very cool vibe. The food itself was good quality, and the hostess who checked us in and collected payment was kind and welcoming. Where there's room for improvement: The Super Bowl party itself felt very unorganized and could really benefit from having a dedicated party coordinator or host. For an "unlimited buffet," the food options were extremely limited -- all protein, no carbs, no salads, no vegetables, no desserts, and no snack-style food you'd normally expect at a Super Bowl event. Drinks were pricey, and the sound quality was honestly pretty rough. We even called around 2:30 pm and were told it was packed, yet when we arrived there was no one upstairs or out on the patio at all. Pricing is something I'd also reconsider. It was $48 per person plus tax, plus drinks, and gratuity was automatically added without being clearly communicated. For just two people, we spent around $300 total for roughly two hours, which felt steep for what was offered. Overall, I think Hendo's has a lot of potential -- the space, location, and food quality are there. With better organization, more buffet variety, clearer communication, and a little more attention to the event experience, future parties could be great. read more

Strong Flavors, Great Bar Energy, and One Standout Dish Hendo Barrel House feels like the kind of place you come for one drink and end up staying longer than planned. The vibe is lively but comfortable -- very much a neighborhood bar with elevated intentions. The KBBQ ribs were the clear star of the night. Tender, flavorful, and well-balanced between sweet and savory, they arrived glazed just right and fell cleanly off the bone. This is the dish I'd confidently recommend to first-timers. The wagyu steak was cooked properly and had good flavor, but the sides didn't quite match the quality or price point of the protein. They felt more functional than inspired -- not bad, just forgettable -- which held the dish back from being truly memorable. Cocktails were well-executed and thoughtfully mixed, making this a solid spot for happy hour or a casual night out. Service reflected the bar-style setup: efficient and friendly, though not overly attentive -- appropriate for the setting. Overall, Hendo Barrel House delivers a solid experience with real strengths, especially when it comes to drinks and select menu items. With a little more refinement on the plate, this could easily become a regular rotation spot. read more

We'd seen the construction going on for awhile and finally Hendos opened. Decided to give it a couple weeks before we stopped in and we did that this past weekend. Lively place, lots of TVs, plenty of people, indoor/outdoor seating and a full gym. Considering it was the weekend, there was a decent wait time, so we ordered some drinks and waited for our table to open. Service was good, and the food was very good. Shelly ordered the Bourbon Glazed Meatballs while I had the Seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich (with a side of kettle chips). Both meals were delicious, although a few more meatballs would have been nice. Our friends ordered the Steakhouse Nachos (huge portion) and the Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The drinks were also good, Jungle Jab and Mason Blonde hit the spot. So, very good impression for our first visit, and yes we'll return soon. read more

I realize it's a grand opening. Logos, menus, staff looked absolutely incredible. I don't know who they did their branding but it looks like a 30 billion dollar Corporation, it was so good. Food was 7.8, they forgot my salad, waited 30 minutes before I canceled it. Burger was undercooked, which I don't care, still delicious. Drinks were PHENOMENAL tasting. Service from bartender with ponytail: 10/10. Service from everyone else: 5/10 Water scolded my finger, be careful (I told the staff). My burger and fries got cold waiting for the mustard I asked for, twice. Not enough bacon jam. Fries were good but seemed undercooked and needed a double fry to be the best ones ever. Super dope overall cant wait to go back, maybe even tonight at 9:00 for the live music. Go and enjoy yourself. I can't wait to come back and get the salad I really wanted and the brussel sprouts. read more
