Stopped by Karl Strauss Brewing Company and had a really good experience. It's a great spot if you enjoy craft beer and good food. They have a solid selection of house brewed beers, so it's fun trying a few different ones depending on what you like. The beer tasted fresh and well made. The food was also really good and went well with the drinks. The menu has a good variety of options and everything we ordered came out hot and flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's a nice place to hang out with friends for a meal or just grab a drink. The staff were friendly and the service was quick even though the place was a little busy. Overall it's a great brewery restaurant and definitely somewhere I'd come back to again. read more

Our group of 12 adults and 8 kids came to the restaurant for a team dinner on a Saturday evening. We emailed and made reservations well in advance. The restaurant was surprisingly empty. The first five minutes of the dinner were pleasant with instructions to order via QR code (no problem). However the issues with service were apparent immediately. Orders were placed for refreshments, appetizers, waters, etc. Within 20 mins food began to be delivered with no names/descriptions of the beverage or plate being delivered. Our group was left navigating who ordered what and determine what beer was what and finding the correct owner. Dinner plates delivered no place settings at the table, no condiments (ketchup) and no drinks for more than half of the table. That lefts us going to the bar to retrieve our own cutlery.... Going to the bar to request our waters and our sodas... even after three attempts to ask for our drinks (water, lemonade, soda) the drinks weren't brought out. Many members of our party had their dinner with NO refreshments. We actually ended up serving ourselves our drinks from a dispenser located outside... we also ended up refilling our own drinks Our water was finally brought out at the end of dinner.. It was the worst service I have EVER had. What a shame. read more

It's been a while since we been here. With so many options out here it's hard to choose ...so we finally stopped by on a random weekday. The service was quick and it happened to be happy hour! Yay! 3-5pm weekday. The food was good I didn't have anything bad to say about the experience. They took care of us. Food was fast. It was a chill date night. The beer was really good. I would go back again. The burger we got was really good. The Pub burger. read more

We came here on a Thursday right when they opened with a party of 16. The service was great. Dylan was consistently checking in on us and making sure we were good. Food came out quick and everything was good. No complaints. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Definitely will come back! read more

Stopped by here on Monday night and it wasn't too busy. We ordered the wings as an appetizer and the steak frittes. The wings were meaty, perfectly crispy and the sauce had a sweet and spicy taste. The steak needed a bit of salt but the butter gave it good flavor. The fries were super crispy and their ranch is delicious. The service was great, our server was very nice and attentive. read more

My dediec to stop by this brewerys since we had just finished wine-tasting in Temecula. Happy hour ended at 5pm, so the place was dead they should extend their happy hour thru 6, so people can come in after work. We sat on their patio by the fire pit The prices were high, 20$ for a burger and fries. I just ordered some fries for $7, they were delicious and we were able to share and get our fill. We recommend the hard cherry cola seltzer read more

My new GO-TO all week long! I seriously crave this food all week. My favorites so far are the boneless Chicken Wings, OMGosh! They're amazing! Too many exclamations, I know. But they really are that good. Both Buffalo and Chili Garlic are delicious. The salads are all tasty as well as filling. I still need to try the famous mac and cheeses. Everyone there has been so friendly and helpful. The vibe is super rustic cowboy which I love. The outdoor space is inviting with a few fireside tables. See you there! read more

It's been years since I've been to this establishment, so I decided to give it a try. Greeted by Mason the atmosphere was calm, soothing and comfortable, for some quick bites and a pint during Happy Hour. Ordered the Ahi Tuna Nachos and the Asada Fries. The Ahi Tuna was delicious, chips crispy, and the sauce was a little sweet for my liking but overall it was tasty. The Asada Fries were delicious! Bits of beef, blue cheese crumbles, guacamole, cheese sauce on crispy tortilla chips. My Hazy house IPA was pretty good, and the Pineapple IPA was delicious as well. Only issue was the temperature, I prefer cold beer and it was on the warm side. Great customer service provided by Mason, and I will return. Happy Hour 1500-1700, 7 days a week read more

Our soccer team loves to have at least one team dinner when we travel for tournaments. Karl Strauss Breweries have been our go-to place since they can host large groups and they offer a variety of food. As always, our tables were reserved and service was amazing. We appreciate being able to order by QR code. It helps so much with 20 different families! Thank you so much to the Temecula crew for being so helpful and accommodating. read more

We came here to celebrate my son's graduation. The service was great. Our server was great, just didn't remember his name, but he said he just came back from working somewhere else. I had the fish n chips with sweet potato fries and they were great, ordered 2 more rounds of sweet potato fries. The food came out in good time. Had the big pretzel as well but did not take a picture of it. The place is nice, have never had a bad experience here. The restaurant/brewery is welcoming. The one thing I have to complain about is that the Golden Stout is only seasonal, which I just found out and disappointed me. The place was quiet that night we went, they have great outdoor seating as well with a fire pit. read more

Ordered food to be delivered. It arrived just in time cause we were starving. I ordered the pub burger. Great burger that was made from ground steak. It was a pretty big piece of beef. Loved the chipotle ale mayo that was on it. It also came with lettuce, tomato, onion and Tillamook aged cheddar and fries on the side. The fries were just ok. read more

Had never been here before thought we would give it a try. Staff was nice and friendly. The food was good. The only thing was is we were sat outside, cause we were told there was no room indoors, even though there was empty tables we were sat in a section with a light had gone out, so it was hard to see the menu or even our food when we left. The empty tables were still empty. Don't understand why we were not allowed to sit inside. read more

The place is quiet when we came in. We love sitting at the bar. We had the following; Pastrami sandwich 6/10 It's not a traditional one which I knew but they don't have pickles and that's a big thing for me for this kind of sandwich. The bread wasn't my favorite either. Meat was cooked good. Crispy Brussels sprouts 7/10 Lacking a little flavor, it's there but not enough to rage about. Side of the piggy bank Mac n cheese 8/10 it's good just needs to be a little cheesier but would order it again. Service is good as well read more

In town to work an event and was starving at the end of a long work day. Showed up with the team of 7 ready to unwind. We walked over so we didn't have to deal with parking. However, there is a huge plaza lot with plenty of parking so it would not have been a problem. The brewery/restaurant had a good size indoor seating space. Small distinction between bar area and restaurant. The bar area was dimly lit compared to the rest of the restaurant. It was cold and dark when we got there, but I did see people enjoying their string light adorned outdoor space. Service was 5 stars. Our server (now I feel bad for not remembering her name), was awesome. She was attentively, friendly, extremely personable, and had great suggestion. Plus she was knowledgeable on beer... a plus. Drinks: - Our server suggestion so many great beer and kombucha items that made it way too hard to decide. So she instead created a tasting flight which I truly appreciated. Their new IPA was chef's kiss. And I highly recommend their sour and blueberry or hibiscus kombucha. We even purchased cans to take home. Our food: - Ahi poke nachos (A+..and this coming from a person who doesn't really like fish) big chunks of fish, tasty seasoning, not too saucy, chips not stale..yay - Mac on Tap. cheesy, crunchy, great for sharing - Crispy Brussels Sprouts. so so good. Almost wanted to order a second. The brussels were indeed crispy but not burnt so the flavor of the vegetable wasn't ruined. cheese shavings and bacon crisps on the side were a good move. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and frites which he loved. I snacked on his veggies and had a couple bites of steak but I was full from the yummy appetizers that we shared. There is a Karl Strauss location not too far from my home so I will probably make my way for a date night soon. read more

I've been to the Karl Strauss in Anaheim a few times and I've loved the vibe there each time. We were out in this area so we decided to go here to eat and watch the playoff game between the Rams and Eagles. We were in a party of 4 initially including a toddler and had 2 people join in later. I forget the name of our server but he was great and super patient with our party. As always, I got their Beer Sausages, which were delicious. We ordered their Duck Fat Pretzel Bites to share with the table and that was amazing as well. I usually order their Boat Shoes IPA which I always enjoy but opted for another IPA but did not enjoy it at all. Overall, great quality service at this location and food is up to par with the other location. read more

Service was great! However not sure what corporate Karl Strauss is doing, they keep taking the best things off the menu! Was excited to have my sweet potato fries with the ranch/sirracha dip and was told they were removed from the menu. I used to go to Karl Strauss exclusively for an amazing Mediterranean chicken they had and that was also removed and was never brought back. I saw few other people walk out of restaurant due to not having the sweet potato fries. Bring them back or you will loose more customers especially in Temecula where we have many other options for beer. The food makes a difference! read more

We came here for my husband's birthday dinner and I must say...I'm disappointed. We ordered steak, burger, sides and poke nachos. Nachos was definitely store bought as you could tell from the looks of it and taste wise. Steak, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese was relatively good. My husband's bread was somewhat burnt but whatever. Service was efficient, Hannah was friendly and didn't miss a beat. Ambiance was okay, although I get the vibe they were going for but it was a tad dark for me. There's nothing worth coming back to here. read more

Every time I come here it is not crowded I love that. We walk right in get a table, it's quite and good vibes. The food is reasonably priced and delicious every time. And somehow we always get the server Bianca. And she is so nice and attentive. Literally the best server we have had. And we go out to eat a lot at different places, so that says a lot! Love this place! read more

Got food poisoning. Would not recommend...to my worst enemy. Everything was off with this visit last weekend. Service, staff, drinks...they seemed like either they had no idea what they were doing or like they were severely understaffed. I ordered the chicken tacos, lettuce wrapped, so it was either the chicken or the lettuce, or someone not washing their hands. I ate two tacos, husband picked at my last one and he felt off all the next day as well, but didn't almost die like I did. Woke up at 2:30am, and had the double-dragon. 0 stars if I could. You've been warned. read more

You trying to go to a place with a family friendly vibe that's still suitable for very adult enjoyment as well? This is the spot. When I'm ready to meet up with friends and family for beer and great service, this is an easy decision. The burgers are top contenders in the area. The apps are also on point. If you're a beer person, you'll also love the choices here. If I'm wrong someone please let me know. My favorite favorites are in my pics and videos... just be sure to bring your appetite, because portions aren't small, not even for kids... let me know if it share my sentiments. read more

Went to this location tonight with my family, I dont think they'll be in business much longer. It was an empty restaurant and we were sat at our table and then forgotten about. After 15 minutes we weren't even served water and no body adressed us. The employees kept walking past us and staring directly at us and ignoring us. We finally got up and left. read more

My husband really enjoyed it because he loves beer. I don't really care for it so I stuck to water. I wish they had reg nachos on their menu and more food variety but I understand it's a place meant for beer drinkers. We had a baby so we order her the butter pasta which she loved but was told they will no longer have it after that day we went read more

Came in for dinner with family from out of town after I sang my high praises for this restaurant. Unfortunately, while the service was impeccable (5 stars), the food was just ok this visit and nothing really stood out for anyone (across 6 different meals + 3 apps). The kid's meal was forgotten after all adults were served, the soda machine had ran out of syrup on one of our refills, my son was not asked how he wanted his burger cooked and it was served to him almost closer to rare and unfortunately the incessant checking in by multiple servers/employees made our out of town guests feel "rushed" to eat and leave even though I know it was done with the best of intentions. The blackened mahi tacos had no flavor, but spicy and the chopped Cobb chicken salad wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. The beer samples we were given were good, didn't care for the POG seltzer at all. The saving grace was definitely the desserts (except the beeramisu) which none of our party cared for that as well. A very underwhelming visit, hopefully it's better for us next time. read more

Went for their 3.70 (37 years celebration) and although it was busy it just a normal busy restaurant and not over the top, however you would think it was! Service was slow, took about 30 minutes to get each drink and had to flag down server each time! No one working there seemed any urgency to help people out! We watched several people walk out! Too bad...ever since COVID this location has never been the same. The pre COVID staff was so great! Not so much anymore! read more

The food was very good. I would definitely return. There were three of us and all of us liked our food. I had the pastrami very high-quality sandwich and the fries were delicious as well. My friends had burgers that were both very good. I selected this place because of its yelp ratings and it did not disappoint. read more

Since the place is open, we've probably been here a dozen times. When they started the happy hour every single day I got so excited because my husband is only off on the weekends and we both love their anniversary beer. It's literally became something we do every weekend. I had a laundry list of things to do and drag them around to do all my chores Sunday morning, but go figure we showed up at maybe 2:53 PM and while the waitress said she was on break and we said that's fine sit because I knew we were early. The bartender ran over and helped us. And I know he should've recognized us because the weekend before that we were there we had to bring to their attention that we were overcharged for the appetizers on happy hour So the guy knows why we're there or overall what the goal was On top of that, we buy bottles of their beer and regulars, but we got charged full price for the two appetizers and then when my husband brought it up to the bartender and the bartender escalated it to somebody that I guess was management, but it was really hard to tell he took off six dollars for the beer and that's it. I honestly would've ordered from the menu if I didn't think we were getting happy hour prices on the appetizers, but we both agreed that we just won't be returning now as often. So while the place was completely dead, you also just lost some regulars read more

I hardly ever write reviews but yesterday was my 2nd or 3rd time coming here and it was such a great experience! We started off with the fried Calamari. The only downside was we shared it with 3 people and I probably had 2 pieces of calamari. It's fried with jalapeños, pickles and zucchini. I wish there was more calamari but it was delicious nonetheless, and the sauce was delicious as well. The calamari was tender and fresh. My husband had the Beer-brined pork chops and he said they were amazing! I had the carne asada tacos and if you have a low spice tolerance they would probably be a bit spicy but they were perfect for me! Great flavor! The service was also great! Very friendly and very on top of clearing the table and checking on us! We sat outside and it was perfect weather. It was too early in the day for the fire pit but still a pleasant time. Definitely will be back again! Probably the best food we've had in a while and at a decent price too! Thank you to the team there at Karl Strauss! read more
