10 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Temecula

“Swing Inn, Temecula, CA is located right in the heart of Old Town Temecula. My family and I had been wanting to try their food for a while, and we finally made it there for lunch.

Before you're seated, a staff member outside will ask whether you prefer indoor or outdoor seating. We ordered the Family Platter for $159, which is meant to serve 2–4 people. It was huge! All the meats were flavorful and so tender, they were easy to cut and even easier to enjoy. We couldn’t finish everything, so we asked for a to-go box and saved the rest for dinner.

There’s free parking behind the Swing Inn, which is super convenient.

By the way—did you know that actor Dean Norris from the Netflix series Breaking Bad took over the Swing Inn? My kids were hoping to meet him, but unfortunately, he wasn’t there when we visited. Some people said he does occasionally stop by as a surprise, though, so you might get lucky!

If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend sitting outdoors. Yes, it can be hot during the summer, but they have misters to help cool you down, and you’ll get a nice view of Old Town. Just keep in mind that it can be a bit noisy due to music from the pub across the street and passing cars. If you prefer a quieter and more private dining experience, indoor seating might be a better choice.“

“always good food and people“

“Delicious food I got the catfish plate with hush puppies and the fries were really crispy I recommend the single portion for the fish instead of the double fish I ended up getting full with one piece kids loved their food as well waiter was very attentive and helpful we ate inside since it was hot but there is out door sitting well be going back hopefully soon!“

“Wonderful! My friend wanted a bbq chicken sandwich but was informed it was no longer on the menu. The waiter went out of his way to ask the manager to key it in, so she could have one. Great food. Excellent service. We will be back!“

“We moved to Murrieta 6 years ago. We struggled to find great quality Korean BBQ near here, till now. The quality of the meat was great! They have the best tasting kimchi I've had since leaving the Orange County LA area. We no longer have to drive all the way to Los Angeles for great Korean BBQ. The service was amazing. They are very friendly and attentive. We went on Valentines day and they have every lady who walked in a rose. It was a very special added touch to all ready great service.“

“Holy smok’d hog you have done it!!! We came in last night for the first time and it WILL NOT be the last!! Full rack of ribs, 2 pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread, potato salad, and mac & cheese was freakin’ amazing!!! The best I have ever eaten!!! I love your great service, sample to taste sauces, and super kind staff. You guys rock the BBQ like no one else ❤️“

“$5 cover was irrefutably worth it for this older crowd. Very good Friday night band, played a ton of popular hits from the 80's & 90's.

Bar tender was heavy handed, so cocktails were a good value. Didn't get food, bid dance floor.“

“Amazing Food!!! Awesome service from the Big Boss Garry! My first time trying Korean BBQ. I’m hooked! We’ll drive at least once a month from Covina to enjoy amazing food and service!! 💙“

“2n1 Korean BBQ is my favorite all-you-can-eat spot! The meat is always fresh and comes in a great variety, and the side dishes are tasty and well-prepared. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable, perfect for family or friends gatherings. No matter how often I go, it’s always delicious and fun!“

“My wife and I enjoyed the great steak and lobster meals. Megen provided great service and recommended some great choices to go with the meal. The onions, mushrooms and garlic butter on the steak was phenomenal. Very clean restaurant, was seated immediately and food came out just how we wanted. Highly recommend this place. Will return.“
