The food and service was amazing! I got the 10 ounce New York steak and eggs and my wife got the blueberry French toast. This was our first time there, and it definitely will not be our last. Martin's customer service skills were amazing!! Cannot wait to come back and try there, Wednesday night prime rib dinner! Hope you have a chance to visit the Rainbow Café you will definitely not be disappointed. The prices are very reasonable in today's crazy inflation! read more

I used to love this place, must have new ownership, because the food quality has really taken a nose dive. My wife and I ordered two hamburgers and they were awful. They were definitely big, but it tasted like they were soaked in 3 day old grease. I also had cold slaw and it had a spoiled taste and was stale. But, the topper, was the convenience charge on top of the bill and the tip. Absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. Just add it to the cost or something. What is a convenience charge anyway? Is it for the inconvenience of servicing your customers good food? read more

Wow , excellent service and quality food. You're in for a real treat if you eat here.

My absolute favorite American diner! They have the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. Their customer service is always amazing and they have the best family friendly environment! If you're looking for a new place to hear you need to come to rainbow oaks. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - The Texas burger - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. We've been there several times for lunch and breakfast. Check it out.

A great place with a years gone by kind of charm. Patriotic Really big portions of food and a great Bloody Mary. A nice patio & bar area. While (if crowded) waiting, there is store and a vintage shop...sometimes vendors in the parking lot too! If headed to San Diego and need gas...they have a couple of diesel & gasoline pumps. I recommend the green belt in the center of it all, to let the kids & fur kids to run. Great folks! Fun place. Service is hopping. RightOn read more

First, I love the place itself. It offers a very "country" feel, great homey vibe, lot of woods, very clean, lot of memorabilia, old pics.... There is a large parking in the back and since it's a very biker friendly place, you'll have reserved spots for your motorcycles, next to the patio area. The place is located in rainbow, a small town by highway 15, a bit "in the middle of nowhere". If you are a biker you'll enjoy lot of windy rides in the mountains around there, between the ranches... The patio is a bit small but there is also a small "bar" (more like a counter) where you can simply stand and enjoy your beer without having to have a table. We came in for lunch/brunch on a Sunday. I didn't feel like breakfast and after checking some pics on yelp I went for the Texas Burger. It was excellent, HUGE portion (feeds 2!) tasty. The only complain: I asked my meat rare and the beef patty was obviously from the fridge and my patty came out COLD... Had a discussion with the server/bartender, who offered me a discount, apologized, and promised to do better next time but don't get me wrong: the rest was perfect. Great sandwich. (Chef: rare doesn't mean/have to be cold! I can do a hot rare steak at home...) Great slaw (on the sweet side). The service is impeccable, very friendly staff, owner and they are very accommodating. Can't wait to go back for dinner, try prime rib, goulash, meatloaf etc... I heard their breakfast are pretty good too. They offer vegetarian options as well. Full bar available! Good prices. Highly recommended, no matter you are "passing by" or bring your whole family for a dinner! read more

I come for Rainbow Oak's Wednesday's prime rib special. It reminds me of great old supper clubs back in my home state of Wisconsin. Ample portion of food in a rustic funky log cabin restaurant perfect in Rainbow where it's located. Great place for breakfast too. If your stressed in traffic, get off the I-15 and let traffic subside while you dine. read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - Prime Rib Wednesday - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Great steaks, specials & service. I especially like the prime rib. It's worth the drive from Escondido.

This is a good ol' fashioned American Diner. If you want a spot to chow down on some great food (or knock back a drink or two at the bar ;) and think back to a better time in this land. This is the place. The servers are kind and accurate with orders and everything is cook to perfection. The atmosphere is welcoming, calm, and hospitable. I'm genuinely thankful for Rainbow Oaks. God bless this place. read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - Clean and easy on the eyes. I love the set up here. - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Great meetup place to enjoy breakfast menu. Had the monte cristo and it was yummy. Will visit more often. Service was great and friendly.

The portions and presentation were excellent. Bring your appetite. It's delicious. Comfort food

I've been here multiple times. Breakfast is awesome and their steak dinners are yummy too

A hidden gem off the 15 in Rainbow. Great food, large portions and friendly service. Worth exiting the freeway for!

I tried a California Omelette and it was fantastic. The avocado was perfect and tasted great. The sourdough toast was fresh also. I loved the side of fruit it came with sweet strawberries. I highly recommend the omelette. Another day I had tried the barbecue beef sandwich on the lunch menu. The beef was plentiful and tasted excellent. Very few places have the quality ingredients they serve here and that's why I enjoy the experience. read more

What great hearty food. Me and my wife came here to support the great things they do. Happy we did, ill certainly be coming back. The fries are so different from normal and it is amazing how good they are. The pastrami was tasty! If your passing through, make the stop and come in here!! read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - Absolute goodness! - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

So cute inside! Reminds me of being in restaurant on a TV show like Virgin River. Down home and cozy. I had the Turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and stuffing. It was very good and a huge portion, I could not finish. read more

I'm so disappointed- the food was great. But it gave me food poisoning really bad.....it takes a lot for me to throw up.....I've been awake all night barfing. It was the only thing I ate yesterday....my stomach is killing me! I eat out all the time. Guess someone didn't wash their hands or something. But darn I don't think we will go back. I didn't even care the cook had forgotten to but an onion ring on my burger....‍ read more

I just stoped by to celebrate our marines graduation and I was told they ran out of food???? I have never heard of a response like this from any restaurant. Very disappointing read more

We have been here a few times. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. The food and service were just fine. But on this third trip to the restaurant we were given a booth inside to sit at, and as I waited for my two girls to climb in I looked down and saw a dead mouse! Look I've worked at restaurants for many years and I know all kinds of pests are always going to be lurking somewhere but to actually see something dead under the table made it obvious their pest problem is out of control And made me seriously wonder about the poison that was used to kill it and their cleaning practices. We clearly did not stay for breakfast and will not be returning. read more

We had a family reunion at an Airbnb in Fallbrook, and wanted a place to eat before going home. I found this restaurant, and called to see if they had room for 15, last minute. They were SO sweet and able to accommodate us on their covered patio. The restaurant was PACKED, which is always a great sign. Thankfully they also had heat lamps because it was drizzling outside. The owner or manager was so attentive and kind, frequently checking to make sure we were warm enough. The food was delicious. Their blueberry pancakes and French toast were huge, and they certainly do not skimp on the blueberries! Sheesh! My brother had their boar and venison sausage. Not only was it gigantic, but he said it's the best sausage he's ever had. If I'm ever back in Fallbrook, I will be eating here again! read more

We wanted a home cooked type of meal and decided to go to this restaurant. This place can be busy but it's so good. We had the rib-eye dinners one small one large. Everything was delicious, friendly staff. We ordered to go, but when you go in they have a special board, next time I want to try. read more

I had a huge craving for a juicy, perfectly grilled Ribeye steak... Found Rainbow Oak Restaurant on Yelp and as I was driving there I kept thinking Ribeye!... Ribeye!!! I walked in and saw the server walking by with one of the most beautiful perfectly cooked cuts of Prime Rib. I was now thinking PRIME RIB!!! YUM!!! Rainbow Oak Restaurant is freeway close but off the beaten path and a not so we'll kept secret based on the full parking lot, even during COVID-19 lockdown, which I would have gladly forgotten were it not for the food servers all wearing black face masks. Since they didn't have guns, I quickly assumed they were not robbers or cowboys and cowgirls. ;) (I'm so clever ... sometimes) So.... With all of the political, health and other challenges I realized that BAM too.... Black Angus Matters... especially if it is on my table in the form of Prime Rib, Ribeye, Flat Iron rare and sexy... yummy! Based on the various global currency hanging on the cashier's wall, Rainbow Oak Restaurant is also a melting pot of global customers, and evidently world renowned. Definitely worth the drive! May we all one day live in a world that All Human Lives Matter. read more

Rainbow Oaks Restaurant - Charbroiled Chicken sandwich with side of half Onion rings & half Fries - American Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Went to dinner with the wife and her twin sister on Wednesday night for what I was told was their fabulous special, prime rib. Food was cold, and prime rib was so tough, it was hard to cut with a steak knife. Service was even worse. Had to get up, look for waitress for water. After meal, I had to ask cashier for my bill. All in all. Bad food and worst service. Don't wait your money ! read more

We moved out of Fallbrook and haven't been back to this restaurant in over 15 years. We used to really enjoy it. We were spending a week in the area and decided to go back. Wow, it is fantastic. If you're looking for fancy, this is not your place. However, if you want great food, large portions and reasonable prices, this is the place. The current owner, Jeanine introduced herself, which is always a nice touch and the staff is excellent. We actually ate here three times during the week and every meal was wonderful. I particularly liked the breakfasts and the hamburger. My wife enjoyed the chicken sandwich and a huge salad. They have gotten some national press because they play the Star Spangled Banner at noon. Everyone stands up with hand over heart; very cool. If you're in the area, I would recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Way too much oil, sauce, butter, and cream in everything: burger, pasta, sandwich, mashed potatoes, shrimp, and even the "salad" is actually just beans drenched in oil. I can even squeeze out dripping oil in the fried onion. Pasta is drenched in the Alfredo sauce, also no need to mention the huge amount of sauce in burgers and sandwiches. The only satisfying point is that the jumbo shrimps are huge and fresh -- they have good ingredients, so why not leaving it as it is and stopping pouring oil into the dishes read more

This place sure was an experience . Good food was kind of shocked everyone stopped what they were doing to sing the national anthem not that it was a problem just was worried when there was no warning and everyone just stood up out of no where . Amazed I'd never been here before read more

Oh my goodness the portions are big here, especially the Texas burger. Big enough for two. They will make it for you the way you ask. If you ordered a rare cooked burger, that's how they'll make it for you and not overcook it. Burger patty is juicy. I really look forward to their onion rings. Super crispy on the outside and onion is soft and not dried on the inside. Ambiance has a small town cabin feel. Casual and comfortable. Service is friendly and quick. read more

Such a fun quaint restaurant with a down home family feel. Portions are huge and can easily be shared. The weekends get super busy so there might be a bit of a wait but so worth it. It's a nice little drive down to Rainbow and they have cute little gift shops on the property as well. read more

So for over 30 years we have driven past Rainbow Oaks Restaurant. This past weekend we decided to finally try it out with my parents. Geez why did it take us this long!!

The "Rainbow" Omelet was the best omelet I have ever eaten. The portion was enormous, the egg was fluffy, the ingredients within were perfectly cooked, and NO overcooked (brown) egg. The country potatoes were delicious, as well! It was a perfect meeting location between Redlands and San Diego because of great food, friendly, and attentive staff!!! read more

We had biscuits and gravy. We are from Texas and these biscuits were better than any I've eaten at home!
