    Flavor-packed en fuego burger with sweet and savory bacon and a hearty patty. This burger truly satisfies the craving. Nice staff and casual lunch spot to enjoy a nicer full meal.

    Friendly place. While we didn't bring a dog, as a longtime dog fosterer and dog-lover, I was happy to see lots of furry friends with their families in the outdoor eating area. We enjoyed our meal here. We had the chicken curry bowl, tri-tip bowl, Tri-tip plate, and Salmon and tri-tip plate. All received a thumbs up from my family. Portion size was just enough. My sweet potato fries were really good. Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked, just enough char for flavor and crunch, but not over done. Chimi Churri sauce was good, but not spicy at all (I like a little kick), so those who like it mild (like my son) will like this. I also had the pomegranate lemonade. Too sweet for my preference, so I mixed a little ice tea with it and all was good.

    Never heard of this spot before! Bushfire Kitchen focuses on healthy, protein-based meals. In my opinion, the prices are a bit steep. Don't get me wrong the portions are solid but for Riverside, I think they could be a bit more reasonable. Its giving LA prices! Services was prompt but we did wait for the steak. I had the chicken, and my partner had the steak plate. The yellow sauce was okay, but the real star of the show is the chimichurri. It's packed with flavor, and I definitely preferred it with the steak over the chicken. The setup of the place feels a bit off. When you walk in, it has a Blaze Pizza-style concept where you build your own bowl or plate. They also offer natural sodas, which I personally wasn't a fan of. I wouldn't say the vibe is off-putting, but it does feel like it's missing a bit of warmth. Parking is easy and accessible. Maybe next time I'll try a different menu item and reconsider my rating.

    We apologize coming late in the evening. We had friends meeting up with us but we dined in late. food: chicken and beef plate. I forgot what the actual name of the plate but you can see in my pictures. What i really liked about this meal and the menu looks good and clean. The food not only taste amazing but filling and clean. We are gearing up for a spartan race and I would come back to this place if i was in town. Service: you order at the counter, then they will bring it to your table. Ambiance: rustic clean, lots of tables and some tv to watch some sports. parking: plenty on both sides.

    10/10! Bomb. Like truly the food was cooked to perfection and i love how it's casual yet still a restaurant type of style. The tri tip is 100% recommended, flavor was amazing and the chimichuri was amazing. My boyfriend got the blt and he said their bacon was the best part. Also the Mac and cheese was more of a pasta but i appreciate the little crispy part of the mac and cheese. Service was very friendly and helpful when cleaning up/getting to go boxes. Definitely a place to try out if you can!

    Celiac here! Visiting Riverside and ate here with family. It was delicious! I ordered a salad with poppy dressing and some sweet potato fries (random combo, but when there's a safe fryer.. you always get fries!) Super tasty *chefs kiss* There are more gluten free options, including proteins, I just wasn't super hungry. I definitely plan on trying more once I return to riverside.

    Tried the Millionaire BLT with sweet potato fries, the Gaucho steak sandwich, and the chicken empanadas--everything was very good. The BLT was loaded and flavorful, the fries were crispy with just the right sweetness, and the steak sandwich was cooked well and satisfying. The empanadas were a great addition too. Overall, really solid meal and I'd definitely come back.

    At first we thought this would be a sit down and someone will serve us but it's actually more of order and pay first then the food comes out to your table. It is a different menu so I really enjoyed that. I had the steak sandwich & my man had the hamburger with their house IPA. I had their cherry tart soda, sooo good! It does seem to get busy but it was good overall.

    This place had great reviews, so my BF took me here for dinner. It's conveniently located in the canyon Crest town center. The food seemed schizophrenic, the Internet said the food was American, but then they had seasonal Japanese menu, and they had empanadas which seemed latin and then they had vegetarian food, but also had burgers and steaks, it was a bit confusing. I paid 15$ o and only got a small sandwich, no sides included and my BF said the rice in his thai dish was very gummy. I don't think we'll be going back. There is a beautiful courtyard, so enjoy dining al fresco!

    My family and I came to Bushfire Kitchen for dinner tonight and had a great experience from start to finish. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and the customer service was fantastic. We ordered a kids chicken tenders and fries plate, which was perfect for our son. For the adults, we had the surf and turf plate with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts, as well as the El Fuego burger with fries.Both were delicious and cooked really well. We also tried a few extras including the mac and cheese, a beef empanada, a blueberry and cream empanada, and a chocolate chip cookie. Honestly, everything was so good. The mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, and both empanadas were a standout, especially the blueberry and cream for a sweet treat after our meal. For drinks, I had the house white sangria and their seasonal lavender hibiscus lemonade, which was super refreshing and a perfect pairing with the meal. Overall, we had a really great experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, healthy, quality food with options for the whole family.

    Bushfire reminds me of a farm to table type of restaurant. Everything tastes like it's made from scratch. They have some many delicious sides to choose from. Customer service is always exceptional when you dine in.

    Tri Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate (gf)

    I was really excited to try this spot out but left disappointed. Food came out quick and presentation wise everything looked delicious! Service was fantastic but the food fell short. The Tri tip was cold, overcook, and tough. The Mac and cheese was the only thing on my plate that came out steaming hot but it lacked flavor and was super mushy. Although my 9 month old enjoyed it. I didn't want to send my plate back because I don't like wasting food. I spent $27 on a plate and fountain drink for myself and it was not worth the price.

    Jerry S.

    Food had no flavor tri-tip look like it was microwave and very tough and chewy feed it to the dog. Brussels sprouts another microwave job and Mac and cheese had a bunt taste to it. Order an ice tea and got a flavor tea oh boy everything was tossed will not be ordering from this location. What a waste of money

Reservations were easy thanks to automated reservation technology. Our server, Emma, was pleasant, attentive and friendly. Even the bartender stopped by our table for a visit. The restaurant was crowded on a Sunday night, but we weren't made to wait for anything. The brussel sprouts with wine-marinated cranberries were heavenly. A must-order! I had the salmon with sweet potato fries. Outstanding! And the serving was large enough that I took half home. My son had pasta. My husband had a burger and couldn't even finish it was so generous. (Son made quick work of that.) No food critic am I except to say my meal was fresh and flavorful and felt really good in my stomach. Lots of surprising flavor throughout the dish. All in all, an excellent meal and dining experience! Highly recommend.

I'm still giving them 4 stars because the staff were super friendly, attentive, and genuinely tried to make things right. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully the kitchen has addressed the issue with the undercooked meat.

Slice House is known for…read moretheir by-the-slice pizzas which come quick and hot in 4 different styles (new york, Detroit, Sicilian, and grandma style). The ingredients on all the pizzas I've had so far always taste a step above most other pizza spots. This is certainly the highest quality quick casual pizza place I know for sure. I usually get two slices as I'm a big guy, but honestly just one slice a drink would probably be good enough for most people. My favorite which they have every time is the "Wise Guy" which comes with pepperoni, two types of sausage, chili oil, ricotta dollops, and green onion. The crispy under crust might be the secret to making it a 10/10 pizza in my book. I also got the "traditional" this time which was a pepperoni and sausage Sicilian style pizza on fat square slice of foccocia bread. It's not as good as the wise guy, but the meat and cheese on soft fluffy bread is a killer combination. My friend got the chicken bacon ranch, another New York style slice. I wasn't as big a fan, but I I'm not usually a fan of chicken pizzas as it is so I'm sure others would still love it. He definitely did! The service is always quick and great and the slices cost between $6-9 if I recall correctly, which isn't bad for slices of this size and quality in my opinion. Note, I have been to a location at Universal City Walk which was way more expensive so the prices can change drastically based on location. Overall this place needs to be in your rotation if you like quick, quality pizza. I spread the word whenever I can!

The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

    We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.
