The food was amazing as usual. Stephen was my server and he was one of the best servers I've ever had, both at CB and at other restaurants. He just went above and beyond, was really attentive, anticipated our drink refills, and he was super nice and had a very friendly vibe. Next time you're eating at Coal Bunker, ask for Stephen as your server!

I love the attention to detail. It's on Main Street in Fallbrook. The service is friendly. The waitresses are so nice and attentive, they give great recommendations. The food is delicious! I've never had stuffed avocado before, it was fresh and tasty. The avocado was perfect and the seasoning in the stuffing is elevated. My husband loved his chili cheeseburger. The baked potato skins were my favorite! We will be back!

It's so hard to find a great bbq place and I'm so glad we found this one! 11 out of 10!!!

It has the middle American BBQ joint feel I ordered the Tri Tip Entre with fries and baked beans. They give you a lot of meat and it's delicious! The beans were also on point.

They also have indoor booths, tables and a bar you can sit at. Sports on the TVs. Parking lot in back with plenty of spots

There are games that you can play while you're waiting and they also have events on some nights. You order at the counter and are given a table number. Seating is first come first serve and they bring the food to your table once it's ready. They also have a small station for you to put your trash and empty trays after the meal. They have a fairly small menu but it's all of the things you would want from a burger spot. The classic smash burger was a little peppery, but had very good flavor and had lots of cheese. The fries were very crispy and were a great addition to the meal. It was overall a very satisfying meal and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Mexican food is a very difficult way cook it but once is done right you can go wrong. The Mexican cusin does not have lots of room specially when you say is authentic. The place could do much better as they have a great place. Food is the key to all.

This is a cute place in Fallbrook. It's been on my list for a while and I'm glad we went. The food…read morewas pretty good. My parents loved their food and I was just glad I don't have to cook or clean. After looking at the pictures I took (and posted), I realized the plates look so similar which I found humorous. We order enchiladas, tacos, salad and a chili relleno. The chips and salsa were my favorite part while my family enjoyed their food. Service was good and fast. We arrived just as they opened (11am) and we ordered and our food came out pretty quickly and the food was super fresh. The rice and beans were good but don't really need all the extra cheese on it, I'd order again but ask for no extra cheese on top (personal preference). While my parents liked it that way, myself and my kids just took it off. Taste overall was good. I'm definitely going back to try other items on the menu and not driving so I can order an adult beverage.

This small shops serves up some really good barbecue. Hot tip: Come earlier in the day, if you…read morecan. Like at most BBQ places, they may run out of certain foods later in the day. You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.
