Karl Strauss Brewing Company, Temecula CA

Nice and spacious. Parking was easy. Staff welcomed us and were very helpful. Aly was our server and she was very knowledgeable. Monday afternoon and it wasn't very busy, so nice and easy to enjoy food and beer. Had the sausage plate and hummus which were both REALLY good! Overall it was a great experience. You'll enjoy food and beer here! Menu has improved since I visited a Karl Strauss.much better now.come and enjoy!

The food is always amazing. Menu updated keeps things new.
Beer is great, place is always clean and its inviting

Love going here on date nights and also with the kids

Great beers and food! Fantastic service! We are from Ukraine, we received a gift of support and condolences in this place. It warms my heart to feel the support during this difficult time. Слава Україні!

As longtime customers, my spouse and I were immensely disappointed with our most recent visit. The waiters and waitresses have no desire to provide good service, because you place your tips beforehand. After giving us our drinks and food, we never saw them again. Not a single refill for us, no checking in, just painful service to endure. My spouse really wanted to take the food home, but after waiting 45 minutes for our waitress to come by offering a to-go box, we sadly decided to leave. The mac and cheese is her favorite, but unfortunately we’ll be taking our business elsewhere.

Open the bar already. You're literally the only ones left in this area who's bar is still closed. Ridiculous

Mind-blowing fish and chips. Great beer too and very friendly service. Live music and outdoor fires were cool too. It is really weird and awkward that you order at the bar and seat yourself, however I think it is due to the labor shortage…

So unfortunate that this place has taken a weird turn. It's now an upscale fast food situation where you place your order at the bar and then choose your table. It's not quite a restaurant ; not quite a bar. The "server" (who said that she isn't quite a server) was just as confused as we were. She was told that they are transitioning to a bar but when I mentioned that they no longer carry hard liquor, she just shrugged. I actually felt bad for her because we could hear people asking for her to take their order and she just kept having to repeat - "I can bring you silverware, condiments or water but I can't take your order. " This new strange vibe also left us not knowing who we tip, so we tipped the bartender who took our food order at the front of the restaurant, as well as leaving some money on the table in the dining area. Oh and I also was a little thrown off when I ordered the last beer because the bartender took my money, said have a great night as she turned and quickly walked to the back without giving me my $4 in change. This was after I'd already left a 20% tip with her for our food order. I didn't even ask what was going on because at that point, my husband and I just wanted to get out of there. I will say that the food was tasty but at those prices, I would like the restaurant experience/service to match.

This was our first time here. Food was very good. However, be aware that this restaurant is currently if either for Covid or because they are changing the way they are doing business like I have heard other restaurants are thinking of doing permanently to a server less experience. We waited in line to order at the bar. Placed and paid for our order. A food runner brought our food to our table. I did decide to get a beer flight and to do so scanned a code on the table placed my order online, paid and was brought my order in a timely manner. The staff was courteous. I did ask the food runner for a few additional items when she passed by and she only forgot one out of three. It did save us some cash on tip as we did tip some but not as much as if we had special attention from a server. I am not sure if this matters to your personal dining experience but be aware. It does make the dining experience feel less special which in my opinion may impact what someone may be willing to pay for food. I hope if this is a permanent choice for the restaurant it does not affect their food quality. The blackened mahi-mahi fish tacos were awesome and gluten free. If your gluten-free they have good options here. One cider but of course not a designated gluten-free kitchen. My husband got the Fish and chips and loved them, fries where crisp outside soft inside but the coleslaw did not have much flavor next time we would skip that. The Beer flight was awesome at 3.00 a pop to try most 4oz beers. Overall good experience I will be back just probably not for date night.

We count on Karl Strauss to provide quality, consistent meals. Burnt Mahi and petrified "grass fed" ground beef was NOT on the menu.

Thank you bartender, for asking me how I am and if I wanted to talk about it. I appreciate people like you.

Always good food. Just not happy with the new format of ordering at the bar and not having servers for table service.

Call Strauss has deteriorated dramatically. You must stand in line to give your order and then sit down. My pastrami sandwich was overcooked and dry.

We walked out before even ordering. They have changed their service model without changing their prices to reflect the lower level of that service. Rather than sitting down to order, you now order at the bar and find a table. Very impersonal now.

The ordering process requires you to scan a code & order from your phone. I don't work there, so spending the first half of my visit with friends figuring out the ordering process was annoying. The food came out at different times so 4 people sat and waited to eat until our families food came out.i won't be back unless they change this.

No table service. Worst restaurant ever. Completely empty, nobody else is bothering to come to a place that doesn't serve. Do not bother, this place is ruined.

One of my favorite places to go for a bite to eat. Their menu has changed and reduced a bit since COVID but it is still excellent with a good selection and great beers.

Enjoyed early evening out with friends. Friendly atmosphere. Scan code at your table to order food or drinks. Server will bring your order to the table. Food was good. Not much wait time.

Awesome vibes at this location. We stopped in on a Monday and were surprised by the live music. The musicians were very talented. I didn't catch the name, but the female singer had an amazing voice! Additionally, our food was served quickly and tasted good.

Every time I’ve been here it’s been a great experience and all of the staff have been so friendly. Jordyn has always provided excellent service and goes above and beyond. I’m always impressed with Jordyn because service that good is just so rare and hard to come by these days. The last time I went, Alyson took care of me and was a great server. Evaline was working the bar and also very friendly. It’s clear that the staff at Karl Strauss knows how to take care of the customer. If you’re looking for a great place to chill and get a beer, this is your place. All of the food I’ve had has also been great!
