Restaurants in Lake Elsinore
1. Lake Elsinore Storm, The Diamond
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 103 reviews
Reviewed By Laurence B
As the home of the Lake Elsinore Storm, the single-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, the Diamond at Lake Elsinore hosts over 100 events a year. High-quality professional baseball mixed with between-inning frivolity makes for an entertaining evening. The array of local craft beers, while somewhat limited, is still satisfying. New 4-top seating allows for socializing while cheering on the home team. It also allows for servers coming to your table to take and deliver orders without standing in sometimes long concession lines. Top-rated logo items are draws to the souvenir shop, where you can usually watch the Padres' game that night. Kid-friendly park, grassy berm and Mascot-of-the-year, Thunder, complete the family entertainment package.

There aren’t too many diary’s around these days which to me, is really sad! Thankfully, I just live several miles away from one.....De Jong’s
The owners & employees are very friendly & helpful not to mention, their products are out of this world! OMG.....the chocolate milk is to die for, so good! I myself, usually purchase fresh eggs, milk, chocolate milk, & occasionally dog food. Yes, they sell that as well. The children love their little petting zoo where you can feed the goats. They have an awesome peacock that roams around the property too but I didn’t see him at my last visit.
If you’re in the area you definitely need to check out De Jong’s. They have so much more than I have mentioned here. It’s a nice family trip without the cost of an entrance fee.

This place is fantastic for anyone who loves the outdoors. Lots of hiking trails to choose from. Great topography and views. We were there on a Saturday and it was not crowded. Put on your walking shoes, grab your kids and get outdoors. Note there is a fee. $4 adults an $3 for kids 2-12, but worth it.

Reviewed By Luke17 - Western Hemisphere
City is known for their seniors, being more affordable than other cities in the Inland Empire, is no surprise plenty of good people calls this city home. Their public library has been upgraded, and looks it. Service was stellar in the short time it took to obtain a replacement, for the shattering low price of $1. Bathrooms looked a little worse for wear, but nothing that could not be fixed with willing hands. Yes, it is nice to lounge around and catch up on magazines, books, even online activities are offered via computer, so the place is inviting and a specially pleasant oasis during the hot summer months. Stay indoors, and be a part of the activities offered throughout the year for its Patrons. 4 Stars.

Lake Elsinore has several antique shops on Main street. Some are really good, like this one, others are junk stores. I check this one out periodically for unique items.

They have a great line of skincare products, and they can accommodate any skin type. They have just about every basic service you can think of, and many specialty ones, available.

Reviewed By BeawChan - Dormont, Pennsylvania
Anyone who likes to see old trains and trolleys, anyone with an interest in history, anyone with a desire to have a picnic in a place that reminds you of America in the past, will enjoy the Orange Empire Railway Museum. They also sponsor car/truck shows, Pumpkin trains in the Fall, Santa trains in December, and a host of other special events, including Thomas the Tank Engine rides. A place for young and old alike, a great place for Grandpa and Grandchildren to enjoy a picnic and a train/trolley ride. I would highly recommend this attraction.
9. Ortega Falls

Reviewed By psudino - Weehawken, New Jersey
OK, I've got to admit, I didn't quite get to the falls, because either the trail was overgrown, it certainly wasn't marked, and there was a lot of garbage nearby.
I'm a rather adventurous person and I don't shy away from a challenging trail, but after I traveled about 200 feet through what I will call un-maintained brush, on what I think was a "trail" with absolutely no markers, I turned around. I parked in the designated parking lot (which offer gorgeous views on the other side of the street) and tried, but with no success. I even had Google Maps out, with a star on the location, and got very close to the star but didn't see anything that looked (or sounded) like falls.
Also, the head of what I think was the trail was full of garbage. Not a pleasant experience.
Maybe this is just one of the hidden gems that a few people know how to get to and that's the way they like it.

This entire area is about to suffer with poor patronage as the main gate to CL closes for 3 months. Hopefully, some of them survive to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This place did not.
