ICYMI - @swinginncafe - Either drive up from San Diego or down from LA/OC/IE and taste this BBQ. I’ve been to lots of bbq spots and this was some of the best I’ve tried. I loved how it wasn’t overly seasoned or overly smokey - a perfect blend, and so juicy. They have lots to offer here besides BBQ, get some wings that they smoke before dropping in the fryer, or a Pastrami Ruben sandwich they smoke themselves. Phenomenal ! And before you ask, sharing a meal with Dean Norris was absolutely surreal. I have been such a huge fan of Breaking Bad for a long time, and although i look cool calm and collected, i was freaking out inside!!! 😂😂 . 📍SWING INN CAFE 28676 Old Town Front St Temecula, CA 92590

My wife surprised me by taking me to this restaurant. I was like, "what are we doing at a busy place like this babe you know I don't like spots like this". She then showed me an Instagram post Dean Norris made showing he's the owner of this restaurant. As my wife and I are Dean Norris, Breaking Bad and Better call saul fans, she was like, "SURPRISE". We were sitting there wondering if Mr. Norris actually comes to his own restaurant. We asked the hostess if he comes and she said he's here now. We can have him come to your table to say hi if you'd like? Before we could say that would be great, here comes the legend him self. It was such and honor and privilege to meet Mr. Norris. He chatted with us like normal human beings. He's a very pleasant, humble and an easing going guy. So generous with his time too. Overall great human being. As this is my 2nd time ever meeting a celebrity, I was glad he was so personable and kind. He took time out of his busy schedule to meet and greet other customers who asked if he was in. To me, this is great business and a great experience which will make me gladly come back even if I don't see him again. My wife and I met Bobby Flay at his new restaurant in Vegas on our Honeymoon and needless to say, it wasn't a pleasant experience and I'll never ever go to anything of his or support his business. More celebrity's need to learn from Mr. Norris. Anyways, an awesome place to come visit. The staff is phenomenal and courteous as well. Come give it a visit if in town or passing by. As I give honest feedback, please be patient with the restaurant. They are under new ownership. From what we were told and understandably, they were having some computer issues which caused order errors and or delays as well as menu changes. Dont that that stop you from stopping in or make you leave if you do end up waiting. The food is excellent and worth the wait. Their brisket and pastrami is absolutely to die for. They will be expanding to the building next door and having more items smoked on site. So can't wait! I'm not a huge brisket and pastrami fan, all I can say is OMG it was fantastic. Dont forget on your way out to pick up some merchandise to help support the business or if your just a fan in general. They have long-sleeve flannels, T-shirts and tank tops. Hope Mr. Norris has a successful thriving business for years to come

The word incredible comes to mind when asked to describe the new dinner menu for the Swing Inn. I had only ever had breakfast once there, but when I heard there was going to be a dinner service with smoked meats, I had to try it. I ordered the 2 meat plate. I chose the pullled pork and the turkey breast. Both were delicious. I loved the flavor of the pork and the blend of spices that it was topped with. There was BBQ sauce on the table, but it didn't need any of the three choices. I tasted them just because, but didn't really use them on anything while I was eating. I loved how moist and very lightly smoked the turkey was. I usually don't eat smoked meat because it can be too smokey for my taste buds. But this just had a nice hint, and the turkey was very flavorful. I chose two sides. The coleslaw and potato salad. I always put coleslaw with my pulled pork. If you come here looking for traditional creamy cabbage cole slaŵ to do the same, then you won't find it. This has red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and cranberries in it with a very light, slightly sweet dressing. It was very good, just different than I expected. The potato salad was creamy with perfectly cooked potatoes. I was so happy it did not have any mustard or egg in or on it! It was kind of like "Mom's" style. The Texas Toast speaks for itself. Just try it! My friend ordered the slices of Moist Brisket. I tasted it, and it was peppery and so YUM that I already plan on ordering that next time...and I am NOT a brisket person. But this was worth coming back for. Way to go, Nick! You know how to smoke 'em! Congratulations, and welcome to Temecula! @swinginncafe @destinationsmokehouse

Wednesday, 12:30 pm A full house with a mild wait. The other venues in the immediate area were almost vacant. THAT seems to speak volumes. The venue's reputation as a "must visit" BBQ spot is well deserved. I was in the area for business, but I also wanted to visit a previous colleague that I hadn't seen in eleven years. Loretta is the General Manager, a VERY competent and appropriate person for the position. The staff was well trained, friendly and accommodating. We unintentionally ran our server, Trevor, ragged with various requests. He pleasantly and quickly accommodated each & every one of them. My sister had a very well prepared two egg breakfast with an impressive Bloody Mary. Good portions. I was "forced", willingly, to indulge in a rather huge platter of three of their BBQ meats, just to see if the hype was real. IT WAS MOST CERTAINLY REAL!! Delicious, "fall off the bone" tender, flavorful, and juicy. My choices were Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Pulled Pork with Cole Slaw and Baked Beans, accompanied by a pile of Texas Toast. This platter would easily satisfy two people!! I also enjoyed a Bloody Mary. (and a Cadillac Margarita rocks) The venue is VERY dog friendly. In fact, there were around a half dozen, of all sizes, in the crowd. I ordered a side of bacon for my pup! Prices are moderate but a rather good value for the buck. It was good to visit an old friend and enjoy a delicious lunch in the process!! If you are in the area and pass this place by, I seriously question your dining values!! Seek it out. You'll be glad you did.
