“Old Town Murrieta is a very quiet place most days, but Calhoun's is always busy with lots of take out orders and people going through. Service is very fast and it appears that you can call ahead to order. The menu is standard fare for American BBQ, and everything we tried off the menu is good. The physical space is very small, they only have about 4 tables so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large group and expecting to sit down and eat. They pack everything in to go boxes so it's easy to just grab your order and go. The food and service is superb, you can definitely tell everything made from scratch and with care!Parking: The plaza is reasonably sized with parking easily available.Kid-friendliness: American BBQ is messy. As long as you have napkins for the kids, they should be alright.Wheelchair accessibility: ADA accessible entrance and seating available.“
“I was actually in the area, delivering beer next door to So Cal Tacos. I got out of my truck and the amazing scent coming from MayBell’s BBQ’s smoker was absolutely heavenly. I couldn’t resist. I got the brisket sandwich with beans and corn. The brisket melted in my mouth and was crazy good on its own. The BBQ sauce complement the seasoning on the brisket and pushed it to the next level. I highly recommend this place!Much love, Beer Guy Tim“
“Been coming here since they opened in 2011 and am never ever disappointed. We don’t live in the area anymore but anytime we are in Murrieta we have to eat here! Everyone is so genuinely kind and the food is delicious, and they have many dishes that they can make vegan which is wonderful. Great prices and portions, I hope they are around for a very long time!“
“Pete catered the food for my wedding of 130 people in April 2023 and we got an insane amount of compliments on how AMAZING the food was! Not only was the food so delicious that we kept adding extra sides and appetizers after our tasting because it was so good, Pete is also the nicest and very professional. He answered all of our questions, went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and has a wonderful staff that follow those traits as well. I would throw another wedding just to have his catering again! Highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for some good bbq at a fair price!“
“Came in and enjoyed a combo to split with my husband and we both left full. The Katsu chicken and bbq chicken were both juicy and pretty good flavor. The cashier gave us some extra sauces, which was helpful to start. Place is very clean and has some comfortable seating. Really enjoyed our meal and will definitely go back.“
“'Ono grindz. Not fast food, but it is pretty fast food. Smoothies are fireMaybe you can find more authentic "Hawaiian" food around town, but one of those recently closed down. Keep talking smack and all we'll have is McDonalds. I Support local business' and enjoy this place.“
“My overall experience here at Dickeys Murrieta was easily a great first time visit. Howard’s service was top notch, and he definitely takes pride in his business. Food was excellent, and me and my family were more than happy. Pulled pork sandwich is out of this world !! Definitely a meal to look forward too???“
“We came here with my husband and kids to try another local Korean bbq place. To start, when you first walk in, you receive a warm welcome! The menu is a bit limited as it is not a AYCE style. They have three combos that come with 4-5 meats. However, all the meats served were very flavorful and enough portions to feed our family of 4. The sides ARE unlimited. One of the family owners also approached us a few times. Super humble, outgoing and really brings the restaurant to life! The ambience is alive and also has games for kids to play.“
“After a long busy day, my son and I wanted a treat. Phil's BBQ is consistently delicious and serves generous portions. I had the rib tickler, and my son had the loaded fries with tri-tip. We each also got a sausage link. There are no pictures to post because we dove in as soon as I got home and are now in a food coma! ??“
“We were quickly seated and decided to sit outside. Loved the surrounding views. I didn’t catch my servers name today but he provided great service! He was a young male with half a pony tail. He was attentive, suggested drinks ( I had a mimosa and it was delicious!) and appetizers and was very kind. I had BBQ nachos- the BBQ was tasty and juicy. My niece had Steak with Biscuits and gravy- it was ok . Food came in at a good time.“
“Delicious pre-meal bread, perfectly crafted Blooming Onion, decently cooked steak, all at an affordable price. This restaurant is definitely worth a try.Delicious pre-dinner bread, fried onion blossoms are perfectly cooked, steak is average and the price is affordable. A restaurant well worth a try.“
“Always a good time here . The atmosphere and people are so inviting and friendly. The staff is helpful and nice . Me and husband have came here couple times and definitely enjoyed it a must try if you're in old town . Come early if you want to catch a table . But standing in back dancing the night away is a good time too . lol“
“It was our first visit, and I must say the food, the sides, and the service were great! The ambiance was nice, a social setting, though we didn't get the robot experience, which I think was a must if you're there because, again, it's for the "experience"! I rated it four stars for being a little challenging to find the place. It's hidden in the back.“
“Had the St Louis Ribs, BBQ Tritip Sandwich with fries and Fried Pickles as an appetizer. A must go to in Temecula for a very reasonable price. Our server Kristy was amazing and really made the whole experience pleasant.Once again, A MUST GO!!!!!“
“You know how it is being greeted with a hug by the grandma with the big ole "racks?" Well this BBQ juke joint did just that. It felt like home. The atmosphere was on point. Music playing, people smiling, dancing and really enjoying themselves. And the view of the Lake was beautiful. Thanks for the experience!Parking: Parking was limited due to the amount of people there.“
“Although typically busy for a Saturday night, the service was good without being bothersome, the food was very good for chain restaurant BBQ, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable.Parking: Lot or garage parking is available nearby. Parking is relatively easy to find except on weekends when the lot sees more use.“
“The cashier was very friendly, she helped guide me into picking out food to try. The food was good, I was pleasantly surprised the chicken was not dry. The place needed a little cleaning but it was pretty busy when I went so it was understandable.“
“The prices were about right for the steakhouse of its caliber. That was a little disappointed in the quality of the steak. For the pricing I would expect to get prime beef but I have a strong feeling that they use choice beef. Didn't quite have the flavor I expected. It was cooked well, to my specifications but not quite the quality I expected.The salad I had has seen in the picture was absolutely delicious.Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly.“
“The location setting was alright and service was decent. I think the food was less enticing than what I've had at other hawaiian bbq options. It might be decent for most people, so I rated it 4 stars because I might just have higher standards for HBBQ food, but this was good enough for people to meet their craving.“
“Da Big Easy is back at it. I ordered fried okra, but once again they didn't make the photo shoot because they didn't survive the ride home, not even the lagniappe. The oxtails were tender and succulent (falling off the bone). That fluffy rice layered with that silky gravy. The Mac n cheese was cheesy creamy yummy and the yams complementevery bite perfectly. You guys don't disappoint. That peach cobbler was so good! The owners treat you like you're guests in their home-real southern hospitality!“
