Reviews for Felix's BBQ With Soul in Lake Elsinore, CA
This was horrible. The tea was starting to ferment, and was bitter and sour. The food was terrible. Look at the mac and cheese,... it was put through a microwave for petes sake! They make such a large quantity all at once and then just microwave it. I BET THEMICROWAVE IS USED HERE MORE THAN THE OVEN! The ribs were dry and smelled funky, why? Because they were made in bulk and thenmicrowaved! So all of the moisture was gone!! They microwaved any and all juice out of it! There was so much fat and oil in thebrisket I will be completely surprised if we don't get sick here! As a plus, the corn bread actually wasn't too bad. STAY AWAY!NO PLACE THAT TAKES 20 MINUTES TO MICROWAVE YOUR FOOD AND SERVE YOU ROTTEN FERMENTED TEA DESERVES TO BE IN BUSINESS!! As afollow up reply to the owner, thank you for being so kind and taking inititive in your business. I have changed my review to a 2star because of it. I'm sorry but I was frustrated having paid $50 for what I thought to be a nice meal for my wife and only tohave everything microwaved. This was confirmed leaving as I saw in the kitchen, a lady scooping the mac and cheese, (served tome) out of a 20 gallon plastic container that was taken out of the fridge and was to be microwaved and served to a customer. Thewaiter didn't care, and the cooks clearly didn't either. I stated what is in this review to the waiter and he brushes it offsaying he wasn't the one that prepared the food. No offer to speak to the chef, management, anyone. Hopefully you can fix this,best wishes to you and your restaurant! Read more
Wasn't very impressed with BBQ here. I had brisket platter for $22 and over half of it was fat. I realize with brisket you will... have some fat, but it seemed excessive to me. What wasn't fat was chewy, not moist. Candied yams were oily or excess butter?Husband ordered 1/2 baby back & 1/2 chicken platter with mac & cheese .. his ribs were dry & chewy, he only ate a few bites ofthe ribs and his mac & cheese was crusty & dried out like they had been reheated in microwave, his chicken was okay. The cornbread was good. We told our server & he apologized, but nothing else. We realize everyone's tastes differ, so to some this maybe best BBQ, but to us it was not good.. just our opinion. Picture shows fat from brisket. Read more
I had a great experience here. I found this place just by driving by honestly. I?m happy I did and recommend anyone to give it a... try. The cornbread which is unlimited is certainly a gem. Check out my Instagram for more food reviews @jamillionaire5 Read more
This was my first time at this restaurant. I've been looking for some good tasting barbecue in town. By Golly! I've found a... spot. I took one bite of my rib tips and I was hooked in. Even the corn bread they brought out for us to eat on before we gotour meal was "Off the Chain". I will definitely recommend this place to my friend's & family. The Sweet Tea was perfect as well.?????? " Finger Licking Good" ???????????????? Read more
Decided at the last minute to go to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We were given warm cornbread muffins with... whipped butter when we sat down. Wow they were delicious!! Soft in the middle and a little crunchy around the edges with aslight taste of sweetness. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best we have had. Fried with cornmeal that does not overpower the taste of the tomatoes. Main coarse we had baby back ribs, catfish, red beans and rice and coleslaw. Meat fell off therib bones. The catfish was fried in cornmeal and was crunchy and flaky. Everything we put into our mouths was so so good. Almostforgot the sweet tea. Holy cow!! I am from the south and love my sweet tea. I never order it if not in the south because itusually isn't very good but Felix's is fantastic. Sweet but not syrup and not bitter at all. So glad we choose this place and wewill definitely come back. Still want to try the gumbo and fried chicken. Read more
Wow! All I can say is this is the best BBQ I've had since I've moved to the Lake Elsinore area! Their chicken is so moist that... it literally just falls off the bone!! Their sides are sooo yummy too! The potato salad and coleslaw are some of the best I'vetried! I also love how they put brisket (I think it's brisket) in their BBQ Baked Beans. Everything we ordered was just perfect!We ordered it all too go because of the pandemic and they packaged everything so that it would arrive without being a big mess!!We Thank you for that! If you're looking for some bomb BBQ then go check out Felix's BBQ in Lake Elsinore CA. You will besurprised by how awesome their food really is???? We will definitely be back!! Real soon too!! Lol . ???????? Read more
The place was clean and they played good music. I ordered the steak with black eye peas, and candied yams. Absolutely... delicious!!!!!! Will return to try the rest of the menu!!!!! Read more
The food was amazing, however, the waiter was pretty lackadaisical and not very enthusiastic and could have been a little more... attentive for the number of people in the restaurant. Slight issue with the drink order. Overall, the flavors will surprise yourpalate and have you wanting more. My only gripe would be the cleanliness of the condiment bottles on the tables, otherwise, avery good place to spend your money. Read more
