Swing Inn Cafe & BBQ

We've been to the Swing Inn Cafe a number of times and each visit has been enjoyable from the food to the service to the ambience. The cozy and homey vibe makes it a perfect setting for families, and the friendly customer service is commendable. Highly recommend!

Great food and service! Family friendly. We went during brunch on a Friday and it was busy but didn't wait too long.Their breakfast is yummy and meat is soo good! Definitely recommend!! Plan ahead for parking. Can get packed in old town temecula.

Me and my friend wanted to try this place after hearing great reviews . We ordered the chicken Benny's and they were a huge let down . The couple next to us got a country fried steak and that would looked so more appealing than our food . Wish I would have gotten something else. The service was incredible though and the employees were very friendly

So good. Got the 3 meat combo platter to share and it was delicious. All the meat is so tender it falls off the bone. Service was great! Our waitress was very kind.We ate outside because we had a dog w us, and it was really peaceful and quiet this wednesday afternoon. Love the environment, great for lunch,Thank you! Will return.

We were out over the weekend shopping in the area. This gave us a chance to finally try out the barbecue here. The wait wasn't too bad since we opted to eat indoors.If you want to try multiple meats, the best way to order is a combination. We ordered the brisket and pork ribs with a side of potato salad and coleslaw. To start, we tried both the red and white sangria, which was a bit weak as far as the alcohol content goes. Great for someone that's a lightweight. I really enjoyed the goat salad, fresh and full of cheese and cranberries. The brisket was tender, but the meat itself was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor. The pork ribs were shredding off the bone instead of it being a traditional pork rib that doesn't shred if that makes sense. The flavor was OK though I did like the potato salad and coleslaw , but just so you know there's tarragon mixed into both. The toast was very lightly buttered and not like a Texas cheese toast. This is all about preference really with the toast.The famous cinnamon roll was OK. It was warm soft, but didn't have the traditional frosting on top unless the frosting was mostly butter? It really was like melted butter all over the top. The portion is good for two to share.The outdoor area is great. Indoor is not too bad and had that diner type feel. Krystina our server was awesome! I'd like to come back and try this place for breakfast.

Wow, the BBQ here is so good! I'm really glad we have another great spot in town for quality barbecue. The flavors are on point, and I love that they offer a selection of BBQ sauces to customize your meal. The service is just as impressive--friendly, efficient, and always making sure you have what you need. A big surprise for me was the Bloody Marys--I expected them to be just okay, but they were actually amazing! Perfectly balanced and a great compliment to the meal. The ambiance is also a big win. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose a cozy indoor spot or enjoy some fresh air outside while people-watching. The overall vibe is welcoming, making it a great place to hang out, enjoy good food, and soak in the Old Town Temecula atmosphere. Definitely recommend checking out Swing Inn BBQ if you're in the area!

Great spot to stop by if you're visiting the Temecula area. Very wholesome mom and pop feel, something I don't see very often with celebrity restaurant owners honestly. Now for the food... Food (4/5) - Pretty sizable menu for a BBQ spot with options for anyone really. Prices seem reasonable for the portion sizes, quality etc. Our party decided on a couple platters and the brisket sandwich to get a full range of items to try. The brisket was tender, solid flavor and the fat was rendered pretty well, and the ribs absolutely fell off the bone perfectly cooked, but did not have as significant of a flavor as the brisket. I could not say the same for the pork belly burnt ends unfortunately as they were really tough, and more bitter in terms of flavor (dry/overcooked). Sides were alright with some onion rings, mac+cheese, potato salad, texas toast, pickles and whatnot. The house BBQ sauces were delicious!Service (4/5) - Our group went at like 6 on a Wednesday night, it wasn't super busy at first and there were some workers scrubbing the patio. However inside there was only 1 really nice girl hosting/serving for most of our time there. Not her fault, plus we waited a pretty normal time i'd expect for BBQ and it came out fine, just took a bit to get sat down and table touches for things we needed here and there. No biggie!Ambiance (5/5) - Mentioned above, this place really has that "made with love" small business feel. Decor and interior pretty in line with what you'd expect at a texas bbq spot, and was very clean. Just think it's a bit cramped in the "hostess desk" area since it's only a small hallway where the bathrooms are also located.

I hadn't been to Swing Inn since the new owner took over. We had a party of seven on a Saturday just after Christmas, we knew it would be a wait but were surprised it was less than 30 minutes. It was a nice day to sit outside. The food was good. Some of us had breakfast and others had lunch. Service was good as well. This is a popular and busy place. The decor is perfect for Temecula old town.

My family and I have been here 10+ times and get the same amazing service each time. Hands down the best BBQ around. The Brisket Platter feeds my family for at least 2 full meals. Desserts.... I'm glad you brought that up!! I'd be lying if I said we haven't driven down to Swing Inn just for the Reese's Pie. Take it from me, order 1 for everyone at the table to avoid spoon fights.

This is a good brisket sandwich . Nice staff, kind and friendly . Good location on Front Street.
