    Eggs and chicken

    Stopped here for lunch. Everything was delicious affordable food, small little place. Excellent servers . Definitely want to be back for some pancakes

    Pancakes and crunchy taco
    Tania L.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. Finally came around to getting to try it and it was fantastic. The food is delicious and the menu is rather large, so something for everyone. I wanted to try everything, I did get some pancakes which were a classic staple for dinner / brunch spots. I even got a crunchy taco which was so good and they give salsa on the side to dress the taco up. The ambience is very casual and the place is not super large but they make use of all the space pretty well. The service was great and we were seated right away. I'm only bummed they aren't open later most days. I also wasn't a big fan of the coffee, it was a little on the light side for my taste but not bad. I would come back and try something new because they have so many options, it all sounded so tasty. I would say this is a much better version of a local chain breakfast spot. Don't let the outside fool you, and be carful not to pass the parking lot since there is only one entrance/ exit area.

    You must eat here it's so cool and they're so nice! And the food is so awesome they gave us this cool little salsa boat and they're fast. Has a small diner vibe. Nice music and friendly service :) i definitely recommend. A new favorite. Also the prices are not outrageous which is so nice these days.

    My fiancé & I wanted to go out for breakfast and decided to check out this place. I've actually never been here before but we wanted to try somewhere new. I ordered the country fried steak & eggs. For my two sides I got the cottage cheese and dollar pancakes. I enjoyed my country fried steak and they had good cottage cheese (some places don't lol). The pancakes were okay. My fiancé got the Canadian bacon & eggs. For his two sides he got hash browns and biscuits & gravy. He really loved the biscuits & gravy, he said it was so good. He enjoyed his Canadian bacon as well but said he would probably order them crispier next time. He didn't like the hash browns that much though, he said some parts tasted cooked good and some didn't. Overall though, we enjoyed our meal! It was a good first time experience. Their menu is also pretty big. I didn't see a lot of menu photos on here so I made sure to take pics of the whole thing. I definitely want to come back to try some of their lunch items next time and maybe even dessert. We also got seated pretty quickly and parking was fine. :)

    We were unfamiliar with it, but stopped by Amy's because it was near my daughter's house and near the freeway to head home. I'm so glad we took the chance! This is a small establishment next to a motel (wasn't too excited for that, thinking it would be crowded). The parking lot is very small with small parking spaces. The inside is homey and seemed to be filled with locals not motel guests. We were seated immediately with drink and food orders taken soon after. There were five of us but the food still came out quickly. I ordered my standard biscuit and gravy breakfast which is definitely not their specialty. Later I saw that they offered menudo but I didn't see it on the menu and I was sad because I would rather have had that. Oh well, I'll need to come back. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the food. Lunch is served all day and the Parmesan burger was really good. They have hot sauce on the table but also offer a trio of salsas for your food and they were all really good. I recommend Amy's; it isn't fancy at all but offers good satisfying food!

    First time coming here place was a little very busy. Staff was nice and friendly and food was good. Place seemed to be clean. I would give this place another try. The only thing parking is a little rough small parking lot and the rest of the parking is for a hotel only.

    Chilaquiles scramble with chorizo and eggs over medium
    Carrie U.

    Went here for the first time yesterday and was really impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. I had the chilaquiles skillet with chorizo and home fries. Portions were big. I'm planning on going back next week!!!

    Egg Benedict
    Stef M.

    Well I visited here twice this trip and had the eggs Benedict delicious big portions . My friends had the omelette which came with TWO sides a lot of food and no complaints.The bisc and gravy was good . The waiter was un believable he was so accurate and speedy . The place seems busy but not hard to get a table . Definitely returning

    Inside

    Don't be fooled by the parking lot, this diner is a hidden gem! Everything we had was delicious, the service was fast (especially for a Saturday morning!) and we would highly recommend! The only downside was that the menu had so many great options it was hard to decide

    Sign and parking lot
    Kayla B.

    I had a family member give us a certificate for Amy's so my sister and I decided to give it a try. We went on a Monday afternoon a bit before 2 and we saw they close around 3 on every day besides Tuesday so we wanted to make it a fast trip. Walking in we saw the restaurant was a bit slow and there were only 2 other customers there. Very cute little diner with paintings and little decorations. I got the Ham, Turkey, and Bacon club with onion rings and my sister got the avocado burger with fries. They were both delicious and it took me by surprise that the restaurant was as slow as it was with such good comfort food. The waitress we had was so nice and attentive she checked in 3-4 times and we didn't have a single complaint. The serving size was so big especially for the prices. I would totally recommend coming to check them out.

    Chicken Enchilada
    Daryl E.

    Usually come here for breakfast since the omelettes are very nice portions and reasonably priced. (And the service is always A+) Decided to pop in for lunch the other day and tried the two taco plate with a chicken enchilada on the side. Two taco plate came with chips and salsa - you can tell the chips are made in house, Salsa is very tasty. Tacos were well made Chicken enchilada was the star, very well made. Can't go wrong with this place.

    Wowza. This little place packs a punch in the food department. I used yelp of course to locate it and it's a very small diner along Magnolia Boulevard in Riverside . All the reviews are amazing and mine will be the same. The portions were large. I generally get chicken fried steak when I'm out to breakfast and I know that I'm never gonna eat the whole thing and this was no exception. Over medium eggs, perfectly cooked. Chicken fried steak, a generous portion with a really tasty gravy no flour taste in it had added pepper delicious. The hash browns were in a log formation and thick - not super crispy and stringy. I also had sourdough toast and a cup of coffee, which I don't normally drink, but their coffee was really good too! From the moment I walked in the door the servers were attentive and quick and friendly, everything I look for in a server at a restaurant. Humorous and funny. The price for my meal ran around 15 bucks and the coffee was additional on top of that. Super good price for the quality of this place that seems to be a hidden gem in Riverside! Kudos Amy's!! (They also seem to have some great Mexican options. There were lot of people after me and around ordering enchiladas and things like that - Viva)

    Are the hours different? I don't see them open like how Yelp says at 7 am.

    So did Amy's move to another location? Sad to see it closed.

    I'm here at the one on Magnolia and it's open. This is my first time here so don't know if there was any other location. Hopefully that answered your question 😊

We were told it would be a 10-20 minute wait, it ended up being 8 min before we were seated. Tables were clean and as we walked past others eating, my game plan kept changing. Every table had a dish I knew I needed to try. We were a party of 4, and I hoped all of us ordered something different so I could grab a taste. Ended up with Chlliquilles, verde, with a rare ribeye. It came with choice of house potatoes or hash browns , and beans. I did not expect to much for my steak, it's a breakfast cafe, they might get it close like a med, but I never get my rare. I WAS WRONG... IT WAS PERFECT!!! It had a char, like it was cooked over fire, it was so tender and juicy, and as a nice size cut. It was the most amazing steak I have had in a long time, and way better than even Flemings (they can't get their steaks right anymore). The chips tasted homemade and their chili verde sauce had pieces of meat in it (special little surprises in it). I do wish the sauce had a little more seasoning nd a kick, but they mixed it perfectly where my chips were still crispy, I still wanted more, and they gave it to me. Beans were ok, and the hash browns could have been served a hotter. Eggs were cooked perfectly so my over easy still had runny yolk, that could blend into my sauce. Husband had waffles extra crispy, and they were lightly crispy but very flavorful. He also had the chicken fried steak. The meat was tender and had a good crisp. It was seasoned very well. The gravy had solidified, so that was a little disappointing. The flavor again, could have had a little more kick, but overall he enjoyed it and would get it again. Our friends had the menudo, which he said was outstanding. The bowl is large, so get it to share if your also ordering food. It had a great kick! And the tripe, was tender and cooked to perfection. They also had the Chilliquilles verde and enjoyed it. Steaks cooked to perfection as well. We will definitely be back, and we have a list of items we want to try, thank you for amazing service and good food!

Because of that, she decided to just order a standard meal and plan to take it home. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and requested a little extra dressing on the side. When the food arrived, it was actually very good--the salad was tasty and they were plenty generous with the chicken. However, the issue came when we got the bill. I noticed a $2.25 charge just for the extra side of dressing. My complaint isn't necessarily that there *is* a charge, but rather that it wasn't stated beforehand. There was no mention of it when ordering, and in my opinion, $2.25 for a simple side of Caesar dressing is excessive. We finished our meal and left, but between the heavy substitution fees and the surprise dressing charge, the customer service policy here feels a bit nickle-and-dime. Good food, but transparency on their pricing could definitely be improved.
