Front Street Bar & Grill

I love coming here for lunch on the weekend or during my lunch hour. When the weather is nice I enjoy sitting out on the patio. My favorite dishes are the brisket sandwich, the pecan crusted salmon salad, a hamburger and their tomato soup. DELICIOUS! I also enjoy their brownie sundae dessert, it’s amazing. Also a fun place to boogie on a Friday or Saturday night. Cool, fun, happening spot in Temecula’s Old Town.

Got the wrong burger this time. I got the cheeseburger and it came with ketchup and mustard on both buns. I don’t like either on my burgers. I didn’t think to ask because almost everywhere you put on your own condiments. The Caesar salad was great as always. The coke is flat… just a heads up. Will go back though. It’s a great place.

This place used to be great, but Saturday I had a Reuben that was terrible. Tasted like the corned beef had been cooking for a week, the sauerkraut was just as old, and the place was empty at 2 in the afternoon.
Something has changed here; Saturday afternoon and not even a bartender?

Great live music on Saturday nights, awesome food; we had the Salmon Salad, and terrific service from our server tailor.

On our way home from San Diego, the final destination of our wonderful cruise, we stopped here to once again enjoy their wonderful food and great wine! Almost a duplicate experience of our first visit, but Evelyn was there to give us a fabulous welcome and seat us on their very comfortable patio. We wanted to treat our guests who had so graciously come to pick us up and transport us back home… They had the Hanger Steak Salad, and the daily special, Mahi Mahi, accompanied by of glass of Merlot and a Riesling; it was really good!
It’s always nice to return to Temecula whatever the reason and it really topped off a busy but wonderful day… especially nice during the week too.

I’ll be honest, it’s been a long while since I’ve been to Front Street Bar & Grill — maybe about a year ago? In any case, I remember they had a great selection of salads, pizzas, and sandwiches. So, when my grandparents from San Diego were visiting this afternoon I thought this would be a nice choice. Bad choice. My grandpa ordered a hamburger that looked like it had been sitting out all day. I ordered the Philly (brisket) cheesesteak sandwich and it was SO dry. The bread seemed stale and the fries were hard. The appetizer selection on the menu wasn’t the least bit inticing. Terrible food and will not be back unless they have a new chef and new menu.

I was very pleasantly surprised upon having lunch here with my husband. I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich which was fantastically prepared, not greasy at all! He ordered the jambalaya, which I have to say was the best jambalaya I’ve had outside of New Orleans. I’m from Louisiana, so I’m quite picky, but I felt like I was back on Bourbon Street eating the jambalaya here. Spicy to perfection! Our server Trevor was great, very helpful. Will definitely be back.

I almost never give a place a 5 star after one visit, but I was so impressed with the customer service and quality of the food at Front St. Bar & Grill, that I just had to make an exception.
The service was was excellent. A young lady named Sorscha (spelling?) was very friendly and attentive.
The food was excellent. We had a burger and the reuben sandwich. The burger was cooked a perfect medium-​rare (hard to get at most bar & grills) and had a fantastic flavor. The reuben was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The fries were crispy and very tasty.
We liked the atmosphere of the place too. Very spacious and inviting.
I definitely would go back!

Wife and I have been here twice. 1^st visit was late afternoon on a Saturday I had the steak salad and wife had the cashew crusted salmon salad. both were great. eating outside was pleasant even when the entertainment started up it wasn’t over the top, improved the atmosphere yet still allowed personal conversation. 2^nd was on this Sunday. weather was a tad warmer, but those suspended umbrellas kept the sun off us, again wife had her salad this time I went with the Irish nachos with added steak, a little more intimate lunch as we were lucky enough to be the only ones outside, would recommend to any and all.

We were recommended to Baileys by the Temecula Visitors Center, we had been looking for a place to hold our Wedding rehearsal dinner, Wedding after party, and Wedding Recovery Brunch. We went into Baileys and were introduced to Dylan. Once we started talking with him and looking over the place we knew we had finally found the right place! We went for a tasting a week later and could not believe how amazing the food was. We booked straight away all 3 of our events. For our Rehearsal dinner we had an intimate setting in one of the private rooms. Chris N, Corey, Alex and Dylan M took amazing care of our guests. It was a beautiful evening. Everyone loved it!
We had our after party at the Club on Saturday night. The music was amazing, we had a VIP section set up outside by the firepits and everyone had a great time and certainly felt like VIP’s! Natalie was amazing and ensured all were having a great time. Josh and Jeremy were excellent bartenders, had a great time with them.
On Sunday we had our Recovery Brunch in another private room with about 40 guests. The buffet was beautiful, with amazing food (loved the Eggs Benedict!) We had this as a non hosted brunch and they made it very easy for us to have everyone pay their own individual bills. This was something no other vendor we looked at could do. Hayley, Corey, Paul and Ashley took amazing care of my hungover guests.
During all of this we also had lunch a few times at Baileys, just could not get enough. We loved also that we could bring our pups out on the patio for lunch!
We live in Irvine but I guarantee that each time we visit Temecula we certainly will be hitting up Baileys every time!
Book em, they will take amazing care of you!

We came for my wife’s bday and food was good and so was the band.
Price was ok but since they overheard it was my wife’s birthday they brought her a slice of cheesecake like many restaurants but this place actually charged us for it. I couldn’t believe they charged us for something we didn’t order. Just left a bad taste in my mouth and because of that I had to give it 3 stars.
Not a bad restaurant just be sure to check your bill before you pay.

A fun place to enjoy just about anything from a casual weekend breakfast to a fine dining experience or my favorite is hanging out with the local band under the stars on a Friday or Saturday night.
The place transforms itself after 10 and by 11 it is now a full blown disco — enjoy!
Love this place so much that in 2 weeks I am hosting my Hollywood High School Alumni Group, The Sheiksters for weekend road trip to Temecula and I’m bringing them here for dinner — don’t know if I can make a higher recommendation that that!

Great Service, food, and atmosphere!
We had our rehearsal dinner here 2 weeks ago on May 9^th 2014. We had the whole patio set up for our group. The food was great and the service left everyone happy! It was perfect when the band started up to keep the party going. We also had all of our other wedding guests join us after the dinner and they all loved the place as well. Professional and prompt service in regards to planning as well.

We went in for drinks and to watch Rachel Stark sing (who is amazing by the way)
The short brunette hostess was pretty rude but once we got past her everyone else was extremely nice! The bartender was really attentive and made great drinks. Every server that walked by smiled and greeted us. They also took great care of our kids!
We will be returning for sure!

My boyfriend & I went here for a late lunch yesterday. The service was good and the place is nice & clean, but we were disappointed with our food. The fact that every other place on the street was packed except this one should have been a clue but we were tired from walking & desperately needed to find a restroom… this was the closest open restaurant.
He ordered the fish & chips and I ordered jambalaya. Both plates looked very appetizing but the taste was not. The coating on the fish was like a bland, mushy biscuit and the tiny bit of fish inside was not very good either. As for the jambalaya — the flavor was ok but not as flavorful as at other places or even homemade. I was disappointed that it did not have shrimp in it and the chicken & sausage were placed whole on top of the rice instead of being cut up/​cooked together with it.
Also, my boyfriend was not pleased with his jack & coke either– too strong for his taste.
We will not be returning the next time we visit Old Town Temecula.

I kind of like this place but most probably because my kids behaved and we had a great waiter. But, I must say that I agree with the bug problem, I also found a fly in my wine taste that I ordered… As far as food, a bit slow in the kitchen, my kids liked the twisted macaroni & cheese also the pasta with marinera sauce. But my flat bread sucked, I ended up sharing with my kids; I didn’t want to wait for another plate. I agree that this place has got potential, but I would play with the menu a bit and make their food bit tastier.
Staff was great, from the host to the person that took our order.

I was a little surprised at the number of low reviews for this restaurant. We had dinner there a few months ago and I am remiss in writing a review.
It was a Friday night, and the place was busy but not packed. We wanted to sit outside and they gave us a choice of a couple of tables. We picked one and it didn’t have a heater next to it, so when the sun started to go down they brought over a heater to us without us even asking!
I had mussels and fries, which were excellent. My H had a steak which he enjoyed as well. It was a nice mix of families and couples and friends all hanging out. We felt very comfortable there and would definitely go back!

We stopped in to the bar area for a bite to eat before a show on June 20^th. The place was not full and the two bartenders were cleaning things up rather than pouring tons of drinks for customers. We told our server that we were in a bit of a hurry and what items on the menu are the fastest to make? We ordered based on her suggestion. My burger although ordered medium was quite leathery but the frys were good. The jambalaya was decent. The problem came in that we had to ask for the bill 4 times (over 15 minutes) before we got it. Then it was wrong with an extra beer on it we didn’t order. This took so long that we were 30 minutes late for the show and missed some of the best songs!
To make matters worse, one of their taps flooded the bar and soaked right into my coach purse which had only been used one time. They told me I shouldn’t have had it on the bar and offered no apologies or concessions. We generally love bar and grill places but will not go back here again. Don’t do it!

Well Front Street started off my experience slowly by leaving me to stand and wait in the front reception area for several minutes, while others were being served to tables, both those that arrived before and after. I was super sure I was dreaming, so I didn’t walk out once the curdling sick feeling hit me of what was happening.
Eventually someone did hand me a menu and said sit where you want. Not standard, but at least they stopped ignoring all 6’2″ of me. Then another waitress apologized, she didn’t realize I was waiting for a table. Well, I got an apology at least.
I went midday Sunday and had the choice between breakfast and lunch menus. In the mood for brunch, I tried the Poached Egg with Canadian Bacon and a Mimosa. The food was good, but not stand out.
Front Street Grill is perched on the edge of Old Towne so it was the first thing I saw driving through, and was tempted enough to stop for a closer look. There is a wooden stage on the far side of the patio that I suspect makes a great band shell during the warmer months. The outdoor patio is likely the greatest draw to the restaurant. It’s well laid out and has the cover of massive umbrellas suspended by cables to keep patrons out of direct sun light. Makes for a great vibe to just relax.
Lots of potential for this place. Just not realized on my visit.

The owner of Front Street Bar and Grill kindly sent us a gift certificate after my last review in order to provide us with the opportunity to try his restaurant again. Living 50 miles away we don’t get in the area often, but we finally had a reason to go down for Saturday lunch a few weekends ago.
I hate to say it, but we were no more impressed this time than we were the first time. I think my biggest issue is service. Nobody was at the door when we walked in, servers were standing around chatting constantly and our server was pretty bad. Our salad came out when our lunch should have and our lunch trailed behind by only a couple minutes. She didn’t notice our empty drinks when she came to our table and I had to wave to her to ask for refills. It took through our whole meal to get refills, partially because she stood by the computer in a conversation. Her overall demeanor was not friendly and outgoing. I guess in a nutshell, the atmosphere is not inviting; maybe we just stumbled across the wrong restaurant with 2 kids in tow.
The food was pretty good, not mind blowing. I loved the tomato bisque soup and the salad. My husband and I ordered a flatbread pizza, which was fine. My kids enjoyed their noodles.
When factoring the food and service together, unfortunately we don’t have a reason to go back with all the other options in the area.
