Asked a local where to grab lunch and they did not steer us wrong This was the spot! We split the Texas Burger with fries + onion rings (so good). But the real star? Their espresso martini. Hands down the best I've had--it hit me in all the right ways. Rolled in around 3pm, no lunch rush, just chill vibes. If you're in the area, trust me... take the turn and stop here. You'll thank me later read more

This used to be our favorite spot. We have friends in from out of town and we raved about driving up to Rainbow Oaks from Escondido for breakfast. We had 5 people and a baby in stroller. A young man who we learned is the owners son (never seen him before in the many times we have enjoyed this place) sat us at a table right in front of the door. We requested one of the booths in the back and he immediately refused it saying he had to keep it open in case a party of 8 shows up. (It's a Friday morning by the way). The table we got sat at was constantly surrounded by people and incredibly uncomfortable with our sleeping baby so we again requested the booth and he very rudely told us no. We had a bad taste in our mouths at this point and felt very uncomfortable. Moments later a group of men walked in and said they have 6 and requested the booth. The rude host then said the same thing to them and sat them in a tiny booth where they did not fit comfortable. The men grabbed a chair and a tiny table for two to make their space accommodate them better since the host was holding out for two parties of 8 that were not guaranteed to show up. He went over to the men and started awkwardly yelling at them telling them they couldn't do that and they would have to wait for a table that fits their party if they didn't want to squeeze in to a tiny booth meant for 4 people. The men got up and left the establishment. We then decided we should do the same as the host made it clear our money wasn't good enough for him to provide good service and make us comfortable. He in turn lost 12 people waiting for parties of 8 to show up that probably never came. He then was incredibly rude to us as we left again making us feel like our money wasn't not good enough for him. We will not be returning to our once favorite restaurant. read more

Saturday 4/25/26 evening and n our way back from San Diego. My friend said do you want to stop there? I said I never been there. She said she been there two other occasions on her way back from San Diego. She ordered the brisket special. I ordered the lasagna special. The waitress came back to say they just served the last lasagna. So I ordered chicken & waffles. Both our plates were so delicious. Highly recommended read more

This is the second time visiting and the first time with the new owner. We were sat rather promptly on a Thursday afternoon around 11:15am. Great or so I think. But then no one acknowledged us for drinks until 20 mins later. Then I watched the waitress take food orders for other parties that came in after us including the couple directly behind us. She finally took our order 20 mins after the drinks. We waited patiently for our food as I continued to see other people getting their food who once again came in after us. Mind you there was four of us, not an epic order. As a matter of fact we all ordered sandwiches and fries. Difficult ??? Ummm no. Then we waited another 40 mins, where I had to wave someone down to get coffee and refills on water. Not one time did anyone check on us during this time. We finally got up and spoke to the manager who pretty much said "I have reservations for large parties that take precedent over four people's food". She was rude and dismissive and didn't seem to care. When I explained to her we were waiting over an hour for our food she was very patronizing and rude. Needless to say we left there with no food to be had. Won't be visiting this place ever again. read more

My friends and I (group of 6) had called ahead and reserved a table for 12:30. We arrive at 12:20 and proceed to wait 20 minutes to get sat. We then get sat outside and told we would have our order taken in a second. 5-7 minutes later they proceed to sit a group of biker (around 10-12) at the table next to use. We wait around 30 minutes after we've been seated. They then go and take the group of bikers order before us. After that we wait another 15 minutes. We then have someone go say something about us and they then move us inside. After that they take our order and I asked about how long it would be. The waiter then in a rude and condescending tone said would be over 45 minutes to an hour to get our food and his reasoning is that it is a restaurant. Our own waiter doesn't even bother to refill our waters and a different lady that was waitressing other tables fills it for us. I leave and see the group of bikers that were sat after us finished with their food. All around some of the worst service we have every received I would never recommend this place to anyone. If I could give 0 stars I would. I've never left a review but because of the absolute horrific experience I felt this was to terrible not to let others know how bad it is. Absolutely terrible read more

First time in, charming place. Quick service, HUGE portions. Good flavor! Would recommend

Went in hoping to get breakfast for my family of six with our dog . Walked into a restaurant that was not busy . Asked if we could sit outside because we had our dog . They tell us it will be a 45 to an hour wait . Because they already had a party of 6 outside with a dog . Mind you the inside maybe had 5 table occupied and the one party outside. I also several waitress walking around . So I dont understand why we couldnt be accommodated . Ridiculous. Wish I could have given it 0 stars . read more

Great natural setting and convenient off the 15 fwy in fallbrook just south of the edge of Temecula. I ordered a NY steak and eggs with hash browns. The area was cooked on a Bbq grill with excellent flavor. My son had the sirloin steak and eggs and my other son had the special venison something breakfast dish - he loved it. Husband had the special omelette with peppers and cheese- huge and he ate it along with sharing a pancake that was really good! Service was average and they have a full bar for bloody Mary's. We will be back. They have full day menu-breakfast lunch and dinner. read more

We ate here for the 1st time today, traffic was absolutely terrible on the freeway and we were all hungry. Service was great, we came in when it wasn't busy, we let our waitress know our kids were really tired and we needed to get in and out asap. Our food came quick and it was all good. Very cute country diner feel. read more

Our first visit to Rainbow Oaks Restaurant was yesterday. The place is full of country charm and lots of character. There's plenty of indoor seating as well as a decent size outdoor patio. Even though it was Saturday around noon, we got a table right away. The host and the our server were polite and attentive. As for the food, they serve Texas size helpings no matter what you order. My girlfriend's salad was easily big enough for three persons. My chicken wrap and fries was enough food for two. The food was tasty, not amazing. Overall, a solid four-star experience. We plan on coming back again. read more

I've always loved coming to this restaurant and have had many great experiences here, which is why this was so disappointing. We were seated and spent a good while dining and talking, unaware there was a wait. Being asked to make room for other guests is understandable, but the way it was handled was not. The staff member who approached us was very short and rude, which completely changed the tone of what had been an otherwise enjoyable visit. A little courtesy and professionalism would have gone a long way. I hope this was a one-off, because this place has always been one of my favorites. read more

Service was terrible. The owner was patronizing - instead of apologizing. After waiting for an hour for her oatmeal one in our group asked the owner how long does it take to make oatmeal the owner replied "I'm not the cook I don't know how long it takes. When asked if she would comp one of the meals because it came after all of us had finished eating - she answered "well she's eating it now - I can't give away free food. Pretty lame answer! read more

I had been here several times and always had fantastic food. However this time was a mixed bag. We had the Farm house skillet which was very good. We ordered it with tortillas and they were fantastic. The Skillet had wonderful flavor and was plenty of food. However, the NY Steak & eggs wasn't near as good. The steak was very bland and fatty. The hash browns were both undercooked and burnt at the same time. Not sure how that was accomplished. The eggs were good and cooked perfectly though. While it was busy, it was a Long wait for food. Over 30 minutes. Which seemed excessive for breakfast The restaurant was comfortable and clean. The employees were very busy, but professional. read more

I was very disappointed in this establishment. I came here with a friend who had a service dog. The dog was under the table and provided no issues while we were there. Due to the long trip there my friend asked for and gave water to the dog. Upon doing so, a waiter came over and said that service dogs are not allowed to drink or eat while working. My friend informed them how service dogs are always working and they need to eat and drink while doing so as they are living creatures. The waiter got snippy and then the manager came over and informed us that they reduce to serve service dogs. They kept assisting we go outside with the dog but my friend has a medical issue with being cold easily and it was a cold day that day. Mind you, we were only trying to give the dog water which has never been an issue in the past anywhere we have gone. He is a small, well behaved, trained, and registered service dog. I am just truly surprised by their lack of compassion for someone who has medical issues and requires a service animal. read more

I loved this place. To start with, they have some of the tastiest pancakes I've had in a long time. I wish I would have ordered them (but luckily was able to pilfer a bit of my dad's). That is for sure what I'll order when I go back. I got the BLT, which was very good. The fried potatoes and onion rings were excellent! And I'm saying this even though they arrived cool. Normally this would really disappoint me, because I'm not into cold fries, but it didn't change the fact that they were perfectly cooked, coated, and tasty. Just wish they were also served at least warm, if not hot. Our food took quite a while to arrive, so I think the fried food sat too long before making it to my mouth. Our server was very friendly and he did his best to rush around and meet everyone's needs (I think they might have had a large, unexpected party outside and been understaffed). I also enjoyed a refreshing Mimosa with my lunch. My mom said the iced tea was good as well. The place has a comfortable ambiance including an air-conditioned dinning room and bar and a fun/social outside area. They have a patriotic tradition of standing to salute the flag in the room or on the screen (in the bar) for the National Anthem at noon each day. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! read more

The first YELP official review of 2024. Patience is a virtual I can work on. This place taught me how to be patience. Perhaps, this could be 2024 theme. I've been waited to get a table with my dog over 20 minutes. The server is very professional though, another an hour to get my food served. If you think, this is not acceptable to wait more than 45 mins, this place is NOT for you. This open-faced country style burger, just exquisite typical American meal. Of course, with the American's favorite tallboy celebrated my new year. I'm so grateful for the gentleman who I've met on the road, recommend to check out "Rainbow", the rancher town. The acres of land continued to down U.S farm in 2022, those agriculture rural town are slowly dying out. I take my hat off this restaurant keep on running to feed the ranchers, bikers, whoever stoppin by. The Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic recited verse that promises allegiance to the flag of the United States and the republic of the United States of America is on the toilet wall. Regardless of either Trump or Biden supporters, we are all patriots, the courtesy of the red, white and blue; hardiness and valor, purity and innocence, and vigilance, perseverance and justice.

Sooo delicious! This was the closest good restaurant I could find from Pala resort. My sister and I came here around 6 pm on Friday and we waited around 10 min before we could be seated. I took the recommendation from yelp to try to Texas burger with a side of fries and onion rings. Man that was one of the best burgers I've had. There were 2 big burgers and just this meal alone can fill up 2 people. The burger had pickles, cheese, beef patty, beacon, avocado, onion ring, tomato to name some of the ingredients. I was already very full after not even finishing all the beef patty. The fries were also flavorful and soft. Coming from la didn't know that the sales tax was only 7.75% here. The whole meal for the two of us costed around $30 before tips, I thought it was good pricing, considering we also took home leftovers. We also ordered French toast and a sunny side up. The French toast was also so good! Definitely a heavy meal but I'd like to come back again! read more

I got blueberry french-toast with sausage and eggs and all of it was excellent and above my expectation. My wife got the club sandwich and she also really liked it. The service was also top-notch, like they genuinely liked doing their job as they waited on us. And all of this was in a very interesting rustic environment that was very enjoyable. Eating here was the highlight of our trip - thank you all at Rainbow Oaks Restaurant for making it special. read more

I'm pretty sure I died and spent an hour in heaven yesterday morning. We enjoyed one of THE best breakfasts we've ever eaten.
