Public House Temecula - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

Came in for brunch and had a good time. We had a reservation but they weren't overly busy which was nice. The espresso machine was down but they were nice enough to let us go grab a latte elsewhere while we waited for our food. I got the scramble with veggies and bean puree and potatoes. The potatoes could use some more flavor/seasoning but otherwise the food was good. My friend got the cinnamon crunch cereal french toast and it was yummy. Others in the group also enjoyed their food. read more

Public House Temecula - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

I have a good breakfast experience over two years ago. First thing we noticed that restroom was in aweful shape. We should have walked out then. Today breakfast was awful ! I had the short rib Benedict , the meat was dry as if they were freeze dried , the egg did not flow and was more on the soft build egg side and not up to par at all. There Belgium waffle was server was crispy and not light an airy , sub par. You could get a more satisfying breakfast at dennys. Totally did not meet expectations. I ask if these were the same owners as a few years ago and they said they were in transition. There drinks were room temp Go at your own risk at least for breakfast. Good luck! read more

Publix needs to find a new waitress. We had a reservation at 10 AM, but the place wasn't even open on time. When we knocked on the door, we were told to "go to the back," but the gate wasn't open and no one explained how to get there. We ended up walking around the entire block trying to figure it out ourselves. Once we finally found the back entrance, there was no staff there to help us. Eventually, a waitress came out and simply told us to sit anywhere. Since the back area was extremely loud, I politely asked if our party could sit on the porch instead, and she immediately rolled her eyes at us. Very disappointing experience and poor customer service. read more

Absolutely shameful how bad this place is now. Their tomato addiction used to be a favorite of mine, but has somehow turned into an oil tomato soup. Came out looking like someone actually threw up in my mini cast iron. NOT fresh toasted sourdough either. And the amount of Brie isn't even enough to qualify the dish as having "dairy". My friend had al the jalapeño Caesar salad, but didn't taste any jalapeno. The salad was just not good. Truffle fries also had zero truffle flavor. Pretty much only outdoor seating so wouldn't want to come here on a summer day anyways. Their servers were nice and the beer list is ok. If you want a quieter place for a drink I guess this could be the spot. But I won't be back and I felt like my money was absolutely wasted here. read more

I had dinner at public house recently and it was delicious. While I sat and waited for my food the staff was so friendly, we talked about the new ideas for their fall drinks. My order came pretty quickly and it was perfect. Definitely enjoyed hangout there and will be back again. read more

Public House Temecula - Peppercorn New York Steak - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

I came here for the espresso martini, which was really good! I tried out their food but nothing really stood out for me. I thought the food was rather bland and I used a lot of the hot sauce to give it more flavor. I did enjoy the vibe here, it's outdoor seating and they have automatic shading which was nice. The servers were nice as well. read more

Public House Temecula - Mac and Cheese - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

initially, my cousins and I wanted to go to 1909, but with a 40-minute wait versus no wait at all, Public House was the obvious choice. Our server was amazing, and the food was super tasty. We ordered a bunch to share--pizza, burgers, shishito peppers, pesto pasta, and goat cheese toast--all of which were delish. That said, there were a few downsides. At one point, the server forgot to put in my order, which was fine since we were all full, but it was a bit funny waiting for a burger that wasn't even in the system. We were excited to hear the band, but with some tech difficulties and having been there over an hour, we decided it was time to head out. Overall, it's a good place with great vibes, good food, and wonderful service. Definitely a spot I'd return to for a relaxed night out. read more

We stumbled in after the restaurant we planned to go to nextdoor was loud and very crowded. We were pleasantly surprised! Service and food were great. Isaiah was our server and bartender and he made great recommendations on both food and drinks. I will definitely go back and request Isaiah if he's working - good energy! Singer was pleasant as well. read more

Starting our Temecula weekend we needed a bite to eat! We were going to 1909 later in the weekend so we wanted to change it up and go somewhere else and we walked past this place and decided to come in. This spot is way bigger than I was expecting it to be the back outside patio is great and seems like there is a lot of entertainment that happens with a small stage. We just came for a drink and light bites and they had empanadas on the menu today so we decided to try those. The menu had lots of great options I would love to come back for lunch or dinner. For a Friday afternoon it really wasn't busy so it was a quiet and relaxing day to start the weekend. read more

Great place to get a drink at a good price. They have good music and at times their in-house DJ. On both occasions our servers have been amazing. Love this place and will continue to come when I come to Temecula. read more

Public House Temecula - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

What a find!! This spot is in Old Town Temecula, and it's got a great vibe. We sat in a private area off the entry. Our server was Christopher but he gave us to Ariana. Both were very kind, and Ariana is a kick and a half. The food was fabulous. We had lunch, so our bill of fare was that variety. The Eeuben was scrumptious, the Mac n cheese decadent, and the flatbreads were a good size and yummy. The Mac n Cheese pictured is one that we added truffle and steak. The flatbreads were BBQ chicken and pomodoro with extra arugula. All in all, A+ and we shall return. Thanks for making our New Years Day fun. Like MacArthur said, "we shall return" read more

We were excited to try this place as it looked like a cool gastropub. Unfortunately, it was quite the let down. To start, nobody was around to greet us when we arrived. A sign suggested we should seat ourselves so we did.... And waited for signs of life. Eventually a bartender and server showed up. He had to nudge her to come by. The menus were, how shall I put this... Vigorously appreciated by past patrons. The server was very much put out by her job and it showed. The food was mediocre at best. I will give them props for splitting the burger we said we would share and put it on two plates. The bathrooms were.... How shall I put this.... vigorously appreciated by past patrons. Considering the place was empty and it was before the Saturday evening rush, it was surprising to see that. The experience didn't match the pictures here. Almost felt like we went to the wrong place. Well, in hindsight, we did go to the wrong place. read more

Brian was amazing the door! Exquisite customer service experience great first time at Public house

We happened upon this place it was so nice loved it sky helped us she was great lovely place fr the live music was the best

On a Friday eveninI met up with a friend in the area and this was one of the places she recommended. She said it was fresh and local, so I agreed to having dinner here. We were seated in the back patio. I had a hottie toddy and my friend had an ice tea. We shared the roasted Brussel sprouts. I don't like blue cheese but the little bit I had wasn't bad. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi tacos. The mahi mahi had great flavor, thought a little dry, but all the other items on the taco (avocado and pineapple salsa) made up for it. My friend ordered the pesto chicken flatbread and enjoyed it. Live music was playing halfway through our dinner. It was great! The experience, service, and food were great that I would return again. read more

This is an amazing restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful, friendly and the food is amazing! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

This happens to be one of my favorite brunch spots in town! My gf's & I used to frequently come here for the drag shows, but they stopped those awhile back & we miss them!! We still come here for brunch occasionally & taco Tuesdays when they have them (currently not happening). Seating is pretty open & outdoor patio is very nice on a warm day. The restaurant doubles as a club on weekends with a dj. They also offer events during the week at times like a sip & paint or karaoke you just need to check the website to find out what & when. Staff is super friendly & since they are known to get busy at times we have learned to be very patient when this occurs... we know that tge servers are well worth the wait! My favorite dish here is the avocado toast or the tomato addiction appetizer. During Christmas they have really tasty cocktails & decorations to make it feel festive/cozy. Downside is the restrooms: only 2 both co Ed & they often smell. So I often wait until we go somewhere else to potty. read more

Public House Temecula - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

I attended a wedding celebration at The Public House and loved the food, excellent service and fun atmosphere for the party.

We had tried this place years ago and thought we would try out the Public House for a second time to see if there have been any changes to their menu. The host and servers were friendly and welcoming and the food was "okay" good. Nothing our table ordered was considered amazing or over the top. Would we come here again? Probably not as there are many other eateries to try in the Old Town Temecula area. Our table ordered the BLTA, shrimp tacos, chicken pita sandwich and the Rueben sandwich . There is a nice lively atmosphere as they have a DJ playing music there. read more

Cute place that we came to for lunch. It is going to be tough to find parking. Food was decent with good proportions. Probably get the steak next time. Tacos were alright, but not amazing It was quiet for lunch the day we came, but that was great. However even so, they were busy elsewhere. read more

the food overall was okay. nothing special. everything we had was subpar. the braised short rib came out cold, asked for a new one and came out luke warm. i got the bbq flat bred, the bread part of it looked undercooked and not really crisped up, the chicken pita wrap was not good at all, and the truffle fries were not truffled enough. read more

QUICK TAKE// Hip spot near the Main Street of downtown Temecula. A ton of food variety and a fun spot for groups! Later night becomes a club. FOOD// I had THE REUBAN and upgraded fries to TRUFFLE PARMESAN - both were very tasty. I shared an order of MAC & CHEESE where we added BACON and HOT CHEETOS as toppings - guilty pleasure but still enjoyed. Had 3 rounds of HORCHATA ESPRESSO MARTINIs as special holiday drinks...and that for sure was the highlight. SERVICE// Very attentive! We had a lovely waiter who made sure we weren't ever without a cocktail . VIBES// Clean restaurant! We were actually seated inside in what looked like a newly renovated section. Had a cute fake fireplace! ETC// We were there on a Thursday night, starting around 10:30pm or something became clubbing on the outside. read more

The food was great, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. We had reserved a table for about 12 people, but when we arrived, another server had apparently given our table away to a different party. They had to quickly pull tables and chairs together for us and apologized for the miscommunication, which was frustrating. To make matters worse, after receiving my food, I found a hair in my pasta. I asked them to take it back, and honestly, after that, I no longer had an appetite. I cannot remember if they removed it from my receipt or not. Thankfully, we had ordered plenty of appetizers beforehand, so I was still able to eat something. While the food itself tasted good (minus the hair), the service and overall experience left a bad impression. Will I be going back? Probably not. read more

We decided to give this place a shot since our original choice 1909 was too crowded, and we definitely made a good choice. We were drawn in by the live music and decided to give the place a shot. Parking was there, but its more if you wanna pay or not. Directly across from the place was a pay for parking lot with a decent amount of spots. Otherwise you can play a gamble for street parking or walk from a free lot where you still hope to get a. spot. It was all outdoor seating with a bar. It kind of gave that backyard hangout vibe. I enjoyed the live music too. But there was a good amount of seating and overall the place was pretty clean. Not to mention, they are dog friendly! Food was pretty good. It was your typical pub food options but I enjoyed it. The brussel sprouts seemed like they were cooked just right to me. The Ahi Tuna Salad was huge, and pretty. There was a generous amount of tuna in there as well. The chicken pesto flatbread was yummy. The crust was nice and crispy. I enjoyed the cheese pull and the flavors were nice. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. Its definitely a great space for friend to hang or dates to go. Even to have a solo drink as well. I reccomend! read more

Decent food and service but lunch isn't served until 2 which was very inconvenient. Restroom could use some work too.

went for the live music the other night and our server Selena was so attentive, had a great experience :)

ariana was my server , she's the best in the game loved the atmosphere there too! will be coming back

RUDE. It starts and ends there. Made a reservation through their site, Open Table. Has a 10 min grace period. We all know parking can be a bit of an issue around downtown. Had a reservation for 8:30pm, was at the front by 8:32pm. The employee could not have been more dismissive and flat out rude. Place was EMPTY. And her response was that 8:30pm was the last seating and if you aren't there by 8:30 we won't seat you. I can understand having a good policy. However, two minutes on a slow night. Have a little customer service. Be polite. Act like you want business but nothing you can do. How you treat people is everything, you know the PUBLIC, who visits your establishment. Won't be back. A little courtesy would be my recommendation for the menu. read more

Had heard about Public House from W-O-M and some Yelp reviews. We were in Old Town after some business in the area and decided to try the menu. We were not disappointed. Had the Pretzel Twist and Truffle Stuff for starters. A couple of Da' Club Flatbread, Sweet Heat Burger, Kids Chicken Nuggets and Ahi Tuna Salad. Charly was a great server and she didn't let any drink glasses go empty while we were dining. Kind of a low vibe feel during lunch which allowed us to talk without having to raise our voices. The quality and playing of the food was worth the value. Though we didn't imbibe, the drink menu was very interesting and tempting but it was midday. Definitely would consider coming back the next time we are in town. read more

I don't visit Temecula that often, and I didn't realize the long waits for the restaurants, but I randomly walked by this place and was happy the wait was short. We were seated pretty quickly, and Taylor was our server. He had great recommendations when it came to wine and the different food options. I had a glass of Pessimist on his recommendation, and it was great. I also had the Ruben which was delicious and filling. We also ordered the Mac n cheese, the goat toast, the pretzel twist and ultimately the Smoreplay for dessert. The food came out fast, and everything tasted great. They have a nice outdoor patio, and we were definitely happy for a great meal. I would definitely return here next time I am in town. read more

Public House Temecula - Fish tacos - New American Near Me - Temecula, California

We were referred here by one of our friends at a local winery... I guess he should stick to the wine. The ambience was fun and lively... DJ was great, music and the vibe was fun and not too wild for a Sunday afternoon. We got seated quickly at one of the hightop tables. Good space for a small group. I had the Queen drink-it was ok. My friends had the Sangria and they did not like it or drink it. My other friend had a mocktail so that was fine also. As for our food... this is where it went downhill... and we were SO looking forward to great burgers. It was so hyped up and we were really hungry and wanted to burgers specifically. I requested mine to be medium rare and my other friend asked for medium... both burgers came out WELL DONE. Pretty well charred... and we are meat eaters so I knew what I asked for and what I wanted and it was definitely NOT what I received. This was super disappointing. I didn't even finish it. and I was HUNGRY. That's how inedible it was. So I guess if you order, just skip the burger and get something else. I saw a salad come out that looked decent... maybe go that direction. Maybe because it was Sunday, the weekend top performers were all off that day. I'm not sure but its not that hard to not burn a burger-I do know that. Sadly probably won't return. read more

The last time I dined here was before the new owners over two years ago, which was a pretty good dining experience. Unfortunately, our dining experience tonight was really bad (6/17/24). Our server warned us she was the only server, they had limited staff and service may be slow. And yes, it was slow. Initially we were okay with some slow service. We even pitched in a bit. For instance when our server didn't return after quite a while to open our wine bottle, I walked up to the bartender who immediately stopped what he was doing to uncork our wine. Good job to him! We placed our meal order and waited, and waited, and watched as meals were being brought out to tables that were seated after us. I asked our server to check on our order, after which she walked out with two of our meals, which had obviously been sitting out for a while because it was lukewarm at best. My meal was the chicken pita wrap and fries. It was okay and also lukewarm. Our server definitely needed some help. I don't blame our server and the others working here tonight. It was a busy taco Tuesday night. Public House, hire the staff needed to provide good service. We won't be back. read more

We came across this place and decided to have lunch here. everything is very delicious. I had a cheeseburger with blue cheese & fries, that were perfect. Not too thick and not too skinny. Everything was really good. My wife had the Ahi tuna salad , soooo delicious. I also had a Bloody Mary , she had the gin & tonic ,,,, . The service was great. Our waitress was so nice and friendly, She kept coming back and checking on us.. everything was so filling that we didn't have room for dessert.... Hahaha. We practically wobbled our way out. We were so full. . The restaurant is actually really cool. It's nice and comfortable. It was a hot day, so the air condition was a big relief... Definitely five stars. read more
