Farmer Boys — Restaurant in Temecula

So good! Went through the drive thru yesterday (Sunday) at around 3pm & there was NO ONE already in it so that was awesome. We actually planned on going to In-N-Out originally but there was LITERALLY 12-15 cars waiting in line at the drive thru so we said “NOPE!” & I started looking up what else was around us, which resulted in being reminded that Farmer Boys is right around the corner!

Side Note: I’ve lived here in Temecula for over 20 years and have gone to this particular location as a little girl with my family. I also worked in one of the businesses across the street back in 2013-2014 so I KNEW it was there and existed; however, the location is just so “away” from a lot of things in town that I forgot about it! Which had me thinking... that’s probably the case for most people! It’s not in all of our faces, so it’s probably not that busy a lot of the time! & then BAM! I was right! No one was there! On a Sunday afternoon. Not sure if that was just that day or not though, they might actually be regularly busy... I won’t know until I have gone several more times! (Will update if & when that happens!)

Anyways the food - BOMB! & even though we were the only people at the drive thru we still actually had to wait a little bit for our food. They had us park in their designated spots and had maybe a 10 minute wait but it’s okay it was worth it! 😁😁 (kinda expensive though so be prepared to spend more than you would...

Every time I come here, I have a bad experience and today was no different! I should’ve stuck with my instinct to stick with Jack in the Box. Where to start? It started with the lackluster “customer service”. I was hardly greeted and as soon as the cashier said, “hi”, she turned her back on me to talk to the cook? I ended up ordering the Cobb salad. It was bland and not fresh. The lettuce is was limp and soggy and the (little bit of) avocado had brown spots. The worst part was the old hard- boiled egg. I immediately spit it out and told them my concerns. I saw the cashier talking to the “manager” (same guy she ignored me for lol) and I could tell they thought it was funny. Well, there’s a reason why it’s been years since I’ve been here and the lack of cleanliness in the restaurant was apparent. I understand you’re short staffed, but you have the time to wipe tables and counters since you weren’t (understandably) busy. The cashier asked me to what she wanted her to do. Maybe start with a better attitude? I was so over it, I unfortunately said to replace my salad with a fiery chicken sandwich and a drink. It was horrible! I should’ve took a picture of that, too. It was dry, bland and undercooked!! Needless to say, I went back through the drive through and demanded a refund and I am not picky and hate complaining. 😡I don’t think I’ll be back to this...

I consider myself a regular customer of Farmer Boys. Today, I visited this location and found it very disappointing. The restaurant looks rundown, maybe even dirty. Not what I've experienced at many other locations. I ordered two Farmer Boys Hamburgers. One combo with zucchini. I noticed that the meat on both hamburgers was cooked to the point that the meat was almost burned - meat was brittle. I think that they are pre-cooking their meat or the meat is being received pre-cooked. My wife just could not deal with her hamburger, so we asked to have fresh patties. The new hamburger patties were obviously still pre - cooked. The hamburger was greasy, and the bun was soggy and tasted terrible. I did not return it again because you never know what they're going to give you the second or third time. I think they soaked two other patties in grease and warmed them up to soften the meat. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS LOCATION AT ALL. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO THIS LOCATION AND I'M APPREHENSIVE IN GOING TO OTHER LOCATION NEARBY. The Zucchini was also greasy - soggy. I'm not sure why they are serving such poor quality food. I hate to waste food, but re-heating certain food is not cool. The service was so-so. There were only three couples total and one in the drive-through, and still...
