Temecula's Best Burgers, Ranked by Google Rating
Burgers are one of the more competitive categories in Temecula, with everything from a national favorite to small local diners represented. Here's the full field, ranked by Google rating.
The ranking
- In-N-Out Burger — 4.7 (4,504 reviews), Temecula Parkway
- Patsy Mae's Cafe — 4.6 (1,057 reviews), Jefferson Avenue
- Annie's Cafe Temecula — 4.6 (1,886 reviews), Jefferson Avenue
- Bushfire Kitchen - Temecula — 4.4 (1,243 reviews), Winchester Road
- Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks Temecula — 4.4 (1,279 reviews), Margarita Road
- Mad Madeline's Grill — 4.1 (1,364 reviews), Old Town Front Street
In-N-Out leads by a wide margin on review count — 4,504 is more than triple the next-highest total on this list — which is a rare case where a national chain's rating is backed by a genuinely enormous local sample, not just marketing reach.
The Jefferson Avenue pair
Patsy Mae's and Annie's Cafe are both on Jefferson Avenue, both independent diners, both landing at 4.6. If you're choosing between them, review count is really the only differentiator here — Annie's has nearly double Patsy Mae's total.
The only one actually in Old Town
Mad Madeline's Grill is the sole burger spot on this list inside Old Town proper, on Front Street. It ranks last by rating of this group, but 1,364 reviews is still a substantial sample — worth factoring in if location matters more to you than the top rating.
