I went on a date at this restaurant and it was my dates first time being there during the lunch hour. So we both experienced a new menu for the first time. For appetizers we ordered the octopus puppies and Korean Fried chicken. We were chatting and chatting laughing getting to know one another and the waitress didn't seem bothered by us not having our orders ready for 10 minutes. She was quite understanding and once we got down our orders she put them in very quickly. It was a cloudy day out so we decided to move from the outside seating inside I could feel when the rain started to drizzle a bit. we moved inside and it was quite loud in there I can tell it was an environment where there's a lot going on. There was still an outside breeze as the restaurant itself is kind of shaped like a barn so the side doors are open and the front doors are open where you just walk in. My allergies started to kick in but I didn't let that ruin my great experience. Keep in mind this place has a lot of outdoor air coming in so if it's cold out bring a jacket and take some allergy medicine if necessary. That's just something I wish I had known before I came. The industrial style of the restaurant is quite nice until somebody drops a metal fork onto the ground and the cement makes this loud clang noise. Even in the bathrooms I saw women, again and again swing open the bathroom stall door in a rush and cringe as it bangs and the noise echoes in the bathroom. I watched his workers and other guests dining in went to wash their hands but realized faucet handle for the sink has to be pushed down in order to wash your hands, none of us were a fan of that. I definitely recommend whoever owns this joint to get a new sink system something that preferably matches the industrial decor look. I had a good view in the house to see the bartenders do their thang. One bartender in particular had lit a thin laced metal fabric and watched it become a flame then he captured the smoke in a cup and quickly added it to 3 mixed drinks shaken with ice. What a sight to see! My server was Kylie and she anticipated her needs made some funny jokes and I really liked her energy. She made me feel welcome there. I ordered the Sammy chicken sandwich with a side of fries and my date ordered the 1909 burger with a side of fries. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did not have house ketchup and my experience house ketchup is not the business. I really enjoyed the sandwich I ate it for leftovers as well as the burger and as a person who isn't the biggest fan of meat...I really loved the chicken, it was super juicy. It tasted like it was farm fresh and quite tender. Good atmosphere ambiance great place for dates and brunches. I can't wait to come back and try the vegetarian options as they didn't have many on their lunch menu.

I was on vacation so this visit was on Aug 19th, just now found time to review it. First off this was my first time in Temecula and I absolutely loved the atmosphere of the entire town. Everywhere was packed so there was about a 20 minute wait time for a table. Once seated my sister and I ordered the same drink, I don't remember the name it was STRONG and delicious, but strong, whoever was pouring that night was definitely heavy handed. I really enjoyed the spices on the lip of the glass with the flavor of the drink. My sister didn't like the rim spices and wasn't nearly as impressed as I was about the flavor. For appetizers we ordered the deep fried cauliflower, deep fried deviled eggs and the gnocchi. The cauliflower was boring, nothing to write home about. The deviled eggs were delicious, but the portion size was very disappointing. The gnocchi was the best of the 3, definitely recommend. For entrees we got a soup and salad combo, a burger and the chicken breast. The salad with goat cheese was very good, absolutely love goat cheese. The soup was quickly devoured, I don't remember which one it was. The burger was on point and the fries were yummy. The chicken breast was very moist and tender. Over all food was wonderful, drinks were delicious, definitely recommend! And the reason for the 4 stars was the atmosphere at this spot. We were seated in the same area as a very large wedding party. The party was loud, but not overly so until they all started to get up to leave, then they were so loud we couldn't talk to each other unless we were yelling, which we didn't, BUT the people behind us DID. They were practically screaming at each other to be heard over the now obnoxiously loud wedding party and they started to just stand and linger in the isle next to other peoples tables without a care in the world with how disruptive they were being. I realize how patrons are acting is not the restaurants fault, but it unfortunately did negatively impact our time there. Once that group left it got much quieter, except the people behind us who didn't get the memo.. and continued to be loud. Once we left the restaurant we could still hear them from across the street. I'm just shocked at how rude the guests were over all.

Cute atmosphere. Three of us had gotten there at 6:00 not many people on a Wednesday, I just wanted a coke to drink took over 20 minutes to get it. Appetizers- instantly suggested were ceviche some other seafood or spicy things, I opted for the garlic fries which finally came (after asking twice since I thought they were forgotten) at 7:10. When questioned on how long was told they were very busy (it was not when we arrived and didn’t seem to be then either but lots of chatting amongst workers). The cup of Fries were good. We then asked for a rush on our food that was ordered awhile ago as we had an early fishing trip the next morning. My soda had been empty at least 15 - 20 minutes as well so asked for another. Food finally arrived 7:36. I didn’t dare send it back. The (almost $20) 1909 burger, has a cutely stamped 1909 on a dry bun, even though it was cold not really cooked thru in the center ( I had asked for medium rare but this was cold). I didn’t dare send it back, took a few bites from the outer edges - meat was tender with good flavor average size for a burger. I ate more fries, boxed the burger to take home and cook a bit more. Waitress seemed far more attentive to others more her age, or to those who ordered the higher $ items. After my second soda I gave up asking for more - I should have asked for no ice on the second one. (FYI the fried deviled eggs were not to anyone’s liking in our group). On the plus had fun with friends and relatives we were meeting there. -Nice place, mediocre pricy food, poor service (during our first visit we probably won’t be back).

We visited 1909 for our 2nd time on St. Patricks Day for my boyfriends grandpas birthday. Food was great and atmosphere was awesome. Watching all the classic cars drive by was a plus. The only things i think that could have been better was the blockage from the sun. I was sitting in the sun for 70% of the time until we asked for an umbrella to be opened. Not only that the heaters were on and I'm not sure why. It was a beautiful day. Right before we got our food, the bday boy then had sun peeking through the umbrella and the post that holds up the awning. The sun was directly in this 80 year old mans face during our lunch. Maybe a large party table shouldbe completely under the awning and not half out. And our side of the table was not checked on for a while as we had to keep stopping our waitress for drinks and refills. I do understand it was very busy but we were also the largest table there and ordered the most. Maybe if the servers are overwhelmed they can have a hostess or food runner help with asking if customers need drinks? Other than that i would definitely go again on St. Patricks day because of their food and their themed drink menu, but we wouldprobablygo with a smaller party. I ordered the "I Pinch Back" and my boyfriend ordered the "Back That Lass Up." Then we ordered a Bloody Mary which was good but also too salty. St.Pattys drinks were amazing. And we each ordered a burger. 👌

First night visiting Temecula. Stopped here because of the smells, which were terrific! Had to wait 30 min for seating at 8:30pm. Mostly outside seating for guests and inside seating school lunch style (long tables crowded seating). While waiting asked the hostess for someone to turn on the outside tall warming lamps, it gets pretty chilly once the sun sets, 10 min later had to ask again, 10 min later asked again and then we were finally seated after another 15 min and lamps still weren't lit. 😒 So, front end service was lacking. Server was super nice and friendly. Ordered drinks and only one came to table 🤔 no big deal had them remove from tab. Ordered Sea Bass for me and a bowl of chili for my friend. The sea bass sauce for the was like a hollandaise with asparagus carrots and leeks, a scoop of plain white rice and grilled sea bass. The fish was very light and moist full of flavor. The veggies were grilled and had slightest crunch, yummy! Didnt eat the rice but tried it, rice is rice. The chili was full of spicey flavor and topped with cheese and chives. We also ordered the crab and shrimp empanadas for apps which without the sauce and toppings would have been dried out but with toppings made it delish. No starters were given, like bread or crackers. Overall I nice dinner. Visit again? Maybe.
