Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
27271 Newport Rd, Menifee, CA 92584, United States
Our server George was great! He mentioned that he was new, so we understood of his service was a little slow. However, his service was great. There are a couple of things that werent as awesome. I ordered the chicken gnocchi soup but both of the bowls I got had no gnocchi in them. That soup was my entire reason for going into the restaurant today if I am honest. So, THAT sucked. We sat super close to the kitchen which isnt bad, except for the fact that the staff were talking super loud and kind of congregating in that area to socialize. I am all for co-workers that get along, it makes work worth going to. However, if the socialization is so loud that it is disruptive to the dining environment, it cheapens the experience for the customer.
Panera Bread
30318 Haun Rd, Menifee, CA 92584, United States
I used to love Panera Bread, but I have had several bad experiences there since Covid, and I now think it’s a much better option to eat lunch at home or at another restaurant.First we tried take out. By the time we got home, the sandwiches were soggy. The quality of the salads seemed to go down; we were getting brown lettuce.When Panera reopened with patio dining, I tried that, but it was horrible. It was over 100 degrees, and too uncomfortable to eat outdoors, even though I had a shaded table. The patio was surrounded by idling vehicles on three sides: the In-N-Out drive-thru on one side, the Panera drive-thru on another side, and Panera’s curbside pickup on the third side. The idling vehicles made the temperature on the patio even hotter, and who wants to breathe in all of that car exhaust while eating? I tried the patio again on a cooler day, with temps in the 90’s, it was still too uncomfortable to eat.When Panera reopened for indoor dining, I was delighted and decided to try again. When I went to find a seat, all of the dine-in customers were crowded together in the center of the dining room, so social distancing was impossible. This completely defeats the purpose of the low-capacity indoor dining edicts. The whole point of being at low capacity is to spread the customers out throughout the dining rooms, so they will be far enough away from each other that they are less likely to contract the virus from each other. I moved a chair aside and sat at a table in the back, more than 12 feet away from the nearest person. An employee came over and told me that I had to leave. I told them that it doesn’t matter sense to seat everyone so close together and that I was trying to social distance. I asked for a manager. They not only made me leave the section but the manager tried to take my tray of food away, food I had already purchased. We actually got into a pulling match over my tray of food. They told me there was no more room to eat inside and that the dining room was at capacity, but no one told me it was at capacity before I ordered my food. I specifically went there to dine-in, and I would have left without ordering if I had been told there were no tables for dine in.I was forced to bring my food outside to the patio or the manager would have pulled my tray away from me. I sat outside sobbing because it was 98 degrees outside and too uncomfortable to eat. I finally went back inside, and the manager said that a table just became available so I sat down. I spent the rest of my meal writing this negative right because I am so disappointed with how I was treated at Panera, which used to be one of my favorite lunch spots. What would have been the harm if they had simply let me eat at the table at the far end of the restaurant? Instead they forced me outside int the 98-degree heat for two minutes. Why not let me sit 12+ feet away from other customers in the A/C, instead of chasing me into a hot polluted patio? Btw, they knew that I was there to dine in, and they did not come outside to inform me that there was an indoor table available. I came back in and found it myself, because I couldn’t stand eating inside. Now, I have a very bad memory of being treated badly by Panera staff.Let’s talk about the FOOD. I still had pieces of brown lettuce in my salad. Something that I used to love about Panera was the Asiago cheese flakes that they put in the Caesar salad and French Onion soup. Now, they just sprinkle on cheap grated Parmesan. The quality of the food is going downhill.Panera used to give out free cookies if the lines to order were too long. Now they fight with you if you try to sit down and have a meal. I’m sad that one of my favorite low-price restaurants is just not a comfortable place to eat anymore.

What a gem this place is! Menifee really needed a place like this. It's cozy, pretty nice; the service is very friendly and efficient; but the food and coffee… oh my gosh - this is where we move from great to outstanding. The breakfast sandwiches are among the best I've ever had. You can go to some bourgeois, hipster place and spend a ludicrous amount of money, and you may get something as good… or not. Their breakfast sandwich comes with a drink and it's about 12 bucks. The bacon sandwich is amazing. Rather than the usual strips of bacon, it's crumbled, really high quality little chunks, like you might get on a salad at a fancy Italian restaurant. I made noises eating this that I had to stop - sounded inappropriate. Coffee drinks are expertly crafted with very good beans - not a hint of rancidity. The stronger drinks are intense, yet not bitter. Everything is great. I'm so glad they're here.

Eating solo today for a quick lunch. Love the atmosphere and the food quality is consistently delicious. The wife and kids love that we finally have authentic Korean restaurant in Menifee. The owner is very nice and usually comes out of the kitchen to greet guests. Beef tofu soup and korean beef short rib are must try!!

First time coming to this spot and trust me you will not regret it. thay dont cheap out on the amount of meat they add to the sandwiches. I ordered the tuna melt and it was so hard not to want another one but I was full. Its a vary cozy restaurant it made me feel like I was in a house. My food came out on a ceramic plate, I did not expect that at all. I talked to one of the regulars and they had a bowl of soup and they told me that it might be a new food item they are working on. To top it off the also do catering. Overall this was a very good sandwiche restaurant I might become a regular here!
In-N-Out Burger
30296 Haun Rd, Menifee, CA 92584, United States
The lamentable episode unfolded amidst the hallowed confines of an establishment renowned for its expeditious service, yet regrettably, the paragon of efficiency was not to be found. In a symphony of missteps, the entreaties for additional accoutrements, bespeaking a discerning palate, were met with a confounding forgetfulness, as if the custodians of culinary provision had become ensnared in the labyrinthine recesses of forgetfulness. Despite a philosophical resignation to the passage of time, the ordeal reached a zenith of incredulity as the humble request for yellow peppers metamorphosed into a veritable chorus of repetition, echoing fivefold in the cavernous expanse of culinary anticipation. Alas, even the sacrosanct sanctum of the burger, that gastronomic archetype, was fashioned askew, a dissonant note amidst the harmonious symphony of expectation. An interminable wait of ninety minutes ensued, a testament to the dire straits of exigency, wherein even the pursuit of recompense became a protracted affair. Indeed, the paradox of a desolate dining space juxtaposed against the temporal quagmire of waiting evoked a sense of incredulity, forlornly pondering the enigma of temporal dilation within the confines of this singular locale.

First timer! The food was good, I did a pick up. Just something that bothered me with the service is, once I entered the restaurant, the employee taking out the trash yells out “nose goes!” As in who would take care of the customer, for me I took it a little off, I was not greeted, but the employees were seemingly making a joke on who to see that would help me. I smile a little bit because I know how “nose goes works” and the store was about to close, so I totally understand the whole trying to get closing things done on time. (For I as well work in fast food as an Area Manager); however, what made me want to write this review is when the employee saw me pick my food up and I was reading the receipt to double check it was for me, and she made a comment about me to the other employee, while I was in the store on how I took the food then proceeded to check the name and order as if I wasn't there to hear her. I personally just feel, I love that the two young ladies were having fun and getting things done, just the comment made and the nose goes. As I would like to have been treated as any customer that would come in during the midday regardless Of the time
Breakfast House Los Tejabanes
27701 Scott Rd suite 205, Menifee, CA 92584, United States
First of all the service was great and over all a clean restaurant. Food: I ate chilaquiles with potatoes on the side and a chicken tortilla soup. Personally the tortilla cuts were a bit to large it is hard to get a good bite on it. The sauce of the chilaquiles needed a bit more salt, you could taste the tomatoes acidity amd the slight touch of chili which is great, just a bit more salt. The potatoes on the other hand were very dry and extremely salty. The egg on top of the chilaquiles were, i have to say, cooked to perfection. The soup: Salted correctly, however it lacked that amazing taste you get when you try a chicken tortilla soup, that warmth you get of coziness in a winter night. Overall amazing staff. Thanks.

I really am not normally a Ralphs shopper, but I had a great shopping experience there yesterday! And I spent nearly $100, but was still happy!? That never happens. Also there is a Auto Zone that I shop at frequently as well as ROSS, which we all know is a great deals store!Besides all of this, there is a Living Spaces and a Shell Service Station! I stopped for gas after shopping at Ralphs, and was pleasantly surprised by the price per gallon! Funny thing happened while I was there, a couple of teenage boys drive through trying to buy alcohol, when that didnt work, they tried to steal it! ? They were chased off by the store employee at the register! Poor guy, hes not really in running shape, but that didnt stop him! Kudos to you! ?
Tokyo House Ramen & Sushi Restaurant
30043 Haun Rd, Menifee, CA 92584, United States
I didnt eat at the restaurant but I am not going to give them zero stars for that. But their food so far has been amazing. The noodles are super soft and have a great texture, the meat is tender and mixes well with the vegetables and the soup. The container with the food in it. Brilliant.I ordered the volcano pork and even the spiciness of the broth was a mixture of spicy, tasty and not to the point of melting my tongue off.The calamari had a great flavor, but the breading was slightly off but even then it still tasted good and pretty much inhaled every single part of it
