“ Cool little local bar in murrieta, only sports bar in the area. Most games are shown there. Stopped by for lunch on a Friday. Pretty busy for a local spot on a Friday afternoon. Service was good, beers where cold. Food was good. Typical American Bar food, hits the spot if that's what your looking for. Got thier specialty burger, comes with bacon and cheese, they also use a sweet pickle which was interesting. Good easy burger. Rather spend $16 on a bar burger than $16 for fast food burger, also support local businesses. Ill probably check them out again, see what else they offer. ”

“ Stopped by on a whim after a long and hot day of riding the motorcycle . AC was on. Perfect. We got sat with the charismatic energy of Miss Robbi. Great menu choices, beers- ice cold. Went with the French dip on Robbi's recommendation- DELICIOUS. The club sandwich is HUGE if you're hungry for a big plate. Midwestern heart was so happy to see garlic cheese curds on the menu. Going to try the fish & chips next time! If you're looking for a new spot, don't be afraid to check it out. ”
“ The club is the best club sandwich I've tasted. Such a unique flavor. Greatest onion rings and fries for milesss. The house pasta was spicy to me but edible. Always packed when I go. ”
“ Discovered the Tavern Grill when I moved to the Menifee Valley a year and a half ago. If you’re looking for a place with great food, liberal drinks, and impeccable service, You have found it. My go to is the classic burger with a Caesar salad. All of the bartenders specialize in making you feel welcome and wanted there. Juan, the chef, has a passion for flavor and often mixes things up with seasonal soups, etc. Justin, one of the bartenders there I have gotten to know, is an old soul. He serves with the professionalism and respect to patrons as they used to in the days of old. If you’re in the area, give it a try! ”
