Below are reviews of the city of Fallbrook, CA from an actual visitor's perspective.
The city is fine
Small town atmosphere
Quaint city!
Nice!
A very beautiful place to be in July. We drove to Oceanside Beach and had the best time there!
We found Fallbrook to be a very friendly city—so many people we walked by greeted us with a smile and said hello. A very relaxed feel and a treat to find the Coal Bunker restaurant—one of the best meals we've had in a long time. We were in town for a wedding at Grand Tradition Estates and Gardens, which is an indescribably beautiful venue.
Cozy place!
Great thrift store shopping with a country feel. Friendly people. Beautiful location.
Fallbrook is a beautiful city.
It is a beautiful area.
I was there for a wedding. The wedding venue (Grand Tradition Estate) was very pretty. The area is quiet, a lot of ranch style homes, big properties, farm area. It's close to the casino (close enough) and Temecula wine country is a short drive as well. Ubers will take about 20 minutes.
