Sunday, 6-23-2024: So sorry for another delayed review. Reservations are highly recommended. I'm…read morea member of their VIP club so I receive emails of ongoing specials & events like wine pairings & rare culinary creations. Anyhow, I made reservations for our family of five. Our daughter, son-in-law, grandson, my husband and I came for another divine dining experience. We were seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. We noticed they rearranged the tables and seating. It's still so cozy and pristine with low lighting giving off an intimate vibe. The food was amazing as usual and it came out quickly! Never a bad meal here. Unfortunately, one star off for the service. We have come to expect the high caliber of service offered from Robin & Francesca from past visits. Our server Jessica was nice enough but not very attentive. We had to keep asking for our drinks to be refilled although it was very obvious that our glasses were empty. And there weren't a lot of people there. So our server really missed the mark. Thankfully, the food is consistently outstanding and mediocre service won't dissuade us from returning.

It was well seasoned and had a delicious glaze. Literally melts in your mouth! As far as the sides go, don't sleep on the Mac and cheese! They use radiatori pasta gives hearty chews and the cheese sauce is well seasoned. And the yams give holiday spice and everything nice! Smell them and get your mouth watering! The beef rib is visually the star of the show. It tasted like a standard beef rib, but is not anything to rave about. And they don't have the same sides like you would find at most Texas joints. No okra, no peach cobbler, no corn, no desserts. Definitely some room for improvement with the sides. Overall, it's a decent spot that I would probably not wait in line for again for. Get there early and set appropriate expectations. When we arrived, the oxtail was and pork ribs were sold out. Since it's gone viral, expect a decent wait and elevated pricing. For instance, the loaded fries are flavorful, but the price to value ratio is off. They are $23 and are slightly larger than animal fries from In-N-Out.

Just as good as I remember!…read more We used to go to the Temecula location until they closed up the shop. Today I went to Murrieta to look in the meat a frozen cases and order two sandwiches. Before I get to reviewing the sandwiches I want to mention the great stuff I saw at the meat counter that I will definitely come back for! They had chorizo, pork breakfast sausage, Hungarian pork sausage, two kinds of brats and more. Nice organic chickens, bone in skin on chicken thighs, and herb marinated half chickens. Their chickens are smaller than what they sell at supermarkets which tell me they are younger and more tender. The steaks....ohhhh the steaks! Wagu, Prime grade, rib-eyes, New York Strips, big shrimps, fish, etc. In the other cold case there was Duck, and other Duck related products, plus so much more I can't remember them all! They are a busy place at lunchtime and I didn't mind waiting. We had a turkey and bacon hot sandwich and a BLT. Outstanding on both! My wife's only suggestion that the turkey needed more chipotle aioli, it was a bit dry.

I'm a meat dept manager for almost 3 decades. I have worked for 4 companies and successfully…read moremanaged for 3 companies. I was the top guy and worked at the outhouse and the penthouse, meaning I worked in financially stable and unstable departments. With all that said, I saw plenty of problems at this location. Starting off, they are way overpriced. Unless the owners gross profit percentage is 50% or more, should definitely be embarrassed pushing low marbled over priced products. Also, questioning the rotation and shelf life on the product. Quality; putting a first cut, wedge cut that was barely scraped in your counter is embarrassing. Anyone that knows anything about cutting or displaying would walk out, which I did. Displays are amateur at best, no quality or finesse. I would recommend avoiding this place until they learn the business.

Burger cravings hit hard, so we finally tried The Habit (our 1st time here) and immediately saw the…read morethe Build Your Own Family CharBox. 4 burgers, 4 sides, 4 sauces?!?! Say less!!!!!!! We loaded it up with Double Chars, fries, onion rings, fried green beans, sweet potato fries, and every sauce available because moderation clearly wasn't part of the post-workout plan. Everything arrived neatly packed in a giant box that looked like it was meant to feed a family of 4. Instead, it was just me and my hubby. He demolished both of his burgers like a champ, while I tapped out after one Double Char and waved the white flag at burger number 2. The food was hot, tasty, and exactly what we were craving after the gym. Huge shoutout to Ari for being incredibly friendly and helpful while we ordered. If you're feeding a group.... or just two monsters w the appetite of a small football team, this deal is a winner!!!! We'll definitely be back!!

When she came back to help me she didn't apologize and I felt like I was getting ignored on purpose so I decided just to order my food on the kiosk instead. What really bothered me was that there was no apology. A customer who saw me waiting and she was being helped before me even told me she apologized. A customer shouldn't have to apologize to me, it should have been the employee herself. And no it was not busy.

This brewery has fun beer flavors/names. The beers are named after popular video/arcade games.

You can't got wrong grabbing some delicious food here. I've had smash burgers, salmon burgers, salads here and all are quality!

Burger patty size very thin, maybe all of them are supposed to be super thin like smash burgers? I don't know. Might be back to try a stand alone burger by itself. Got a chocolate shake, taste was good but it was very liquid from the start. More like drinking chocolate milk than a milkshake. Maybe the milk to ice cream ratio was way off. 6/10. Overall I enjoyed it mostly. Will probably try again and give it a second go. Will give the benefit of the doubt based on taste of the food. 4/5, I say worth trying.

Had to grab the closest veggie burger I could while at the Promenade. I've been here a handful of…read moretimes but thought I'd finally write up a review. In the past, they had a lot more vegan options. I mean, I recall vegan ranch, vegan nuggets, I think there was maybe 4-5 different vegan burgers...now, there's just two. That's not a complaint. I know vegan options have been reduced everywhere and I'm grateful for the few options they still have. I wasn't always the greatest fan of their burgers. I just remember them being dry. Well, they've gotten better in that respect. If I can say anything about the burger I had today, it was juicy. As you can see, the patty is a bit smashed, if you like more of a smashed patty. I'm not crazy about them but it wasn't as smashed as say, Monty's Burger. As they're downsizing their vegan offerings, I noticed they still has a good amount of dairy-free milkshakes, so I had to order one while they're still there. You don't find dairy-free cookies and creme milshakes everyday around here, so that's what I ordered. It was good, it was satisfying, but, if I could make a request: when I think of cookies and cream, well, I think of COOKIES and cream. Chunks of cookies, usually Oreos. Is that weird? The milkshake had the cookies and cream flavor down perfectly, just no actual cookies in the shake-and Oreos are accidentally vegan, so you're safe to add them. As for the restaurant, there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Staff is attentive and friendly. The place was nice and clean. Whether a fan of their burgers or not, this place has always had great fries and a pretty good menu with diverse offerings.
