    Chicken
    Priscilla T.

    The chicken was not good at all. The color was light and had no flavor. The coleslaw is nothing but mayonnaise. I drove 45mins to try it after seeing a TikTok. No way! Waste of time and money.

    Fried bug and a piece of the other bugs butt

    Found fried pincher bugs in my food. I called just to let them know so they can check their oil but the lady said she's "never heard of that" ... so I'm posting it here so they can hear abt it

    It's says closed and will return at 3pm

    Came here today 8/4/25 and it was closed during normal business hours. I got here at 12:40pm. Not very professional to be closed during normal business hours

    I finally got to try this little chicken spot. Honestly great chicken, especially in the area where we don't really have spots like this. That fried chicken breast was crisp and the chicken had a nice tender feeling. Those fries were good as well, nothing stood out but good. And let's talk about that bread, great addition to the fried chicken, a nice fattening piece of bread, not bad either. Fried Chicken: 8.2 Fries: 7.2 Bread: 6.8

    crave the crisp

    Sometimes ladies have that craving once a month. You know we women are a very interesting being. We have our good days and bad days like anyone.. but there are those special times when we need certain things to tame ourselves. When it is available a hop skip and a jump away I am satisfied. The owner here is friendly and accommodating with a warm welcome ready to make some craveable eats. This is the original location a small shop to order and take home. If you need a carbo load the rolls are homemade.

    Menu

    The food is made to order, be prepared to wait if you're a walk-in. Otherwise you can call ahead. The food is a good portion for whichever meal you get. I typically get the fillet lunch special and the chicken strips are large. They do accept card or tap.

    Decades late to the party! I've heard about Donahoo's when I was in high school and I never thought a humble building would have amazing food. The fried chicken here is one of the best I've had and the mojo potatoes here are by far the BEST potatoes I have ever had. You cannot really go wrong here. I tried the tenders here and it's also really good. The gizzard were good but can't really say I'd try them again. Overall I'd stick to the chicken and potatoes. The one thing I do like about this location is that you can call ahead of time which is better than the Pomona location. The food takes a while to make, usually 20-30 minutes. Parking in the front is pretty limited so I suggest parking in the Chinese restaurant right beside Donahoo's. Overall, an epic place for fried chicken and potatoes!

    This is my favorite chicken spot in Riverside. I love the potatoes and the cole slaw is tasty. Can't forget the bread

I had no idea there were any restaurants in this area, much less a Hampton Inn lurking nearby. It was making a delivery to Inn that led to spotting this Soul food spot. Inside it's a vibrant, inviting yellow themed front space and dining room. Very conducive to good moods. I decided that the mini combo, with one side and cornbread, was a good value at $13.99, whereas the full combo adds a second side and costs $17.99. Lots of choices, including several styles of chicken, the smothered pork chops both sounded, and looked good. I saw a plate being assembled before I ordered. And the oxtail also appealed. Future trips will expand the experience. Ultimately, it was the pot roast that I ordered, with rice (or not if you prefer), and the greens rounded out the side choice. I proceeded to devour the entire meal in short order. The pot roast was amazing. Killer gravy, melt in the mouth tenderness, and the greens were another pleasant surprise. Hard to say what I tasted other than absolute goodness! Well done, and the host and her assistant were also warm and friendly. Über Eats, and possibly Doordash can deliver to your door.

I originally popped in just to pick up a house salad to go to pair with my leftover pastas at Home, but I ended up dining in thanks to the terrific Gourmet Hospitality displayed by Server Carlos and the new Manager Evan! While waiting for my To Go Salad I was so mesmerized by all the fun and flirty Visual Communications like their Dessert Menu and Happy Hour Specials like the $4.50 Beers and $9 Half Cajun Pasta Specials :0) I initially decided to just stay at Georgia's and try their Sweet Potato Pie along with a Hot Tea instead of moseying over to Starbucks like my original afternoon Game Plan. Carlos took the time to make my Sweet Potato Pie look extra elegant and fancy and the Black Lemon Tea he served me had such a unique and refreshing elegant flavor! I felt like a British Barbie having the most heavenly Afternoon Tea Time Recovery massage after enjoying that incredible Artful Genius Pairing ;0) After the Manager Evan stopped by to follow up on the satisfaction of my food he encouraged me to capitalize on the Afternoon Happy Hour Specials on the Weekdays too from 3-6pm. I saw that my favorite Cajun Pasta was on the Happy Hour Menu and decided to order it with Shrimp along with a glass of Kona Big Wave to celebrate the theme of my Moana Movie Day :0) My Cajun Pasta tasted just as amazing as I remembered it to be and I ended up returning last night to order the full size on the weekend to enjoy outside on their beautiful Patio! I also tried their Fried Green Tomatoes Appetizer which was so good and a personal recommendation from my Coworker Bartender who raves endlessly about it. The Lemon Aioli sauce included with the Fried Green Tomatoes is so good and I LOVE their Seasonal Green Apple Sangria which is an absolute must try too!! Thank you to the whole Georgia's Team for going out of your way to make me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and at Home with great Food, Beverages, and fabulously cozy Company! I really admire the Company for consistently adapting to professional challenges by investing in smart and speedy technology and coming up with better Service Systems to help Guests relax and get settled in faster. The new Happy Hour, Cocktail, and Mocktails specials are so romantically charming and gives me lots of reasons to come back and along with the vibrantly fun and interesting personalities that make up the Service Staff!

I came for lunch and was offered complimentary cornbread, which was soft, buttery, warm, and so delicious. The fried shrimp basket and Southwestern salad were fresh, yummy, and well-portioned. The French fries that came with the shrimp basket were perfectly fried and delicious. There was a great balance between crispy and soft. There was also a generous amount of shrimp in the basket, and the breading was so flavorful. The Southwestern chicken salad had a good amount of chicken and perfectly complemented the shrimp basket. The servers here are friendly and help maintain such a bright and relaxing environment. After just one visit, my group and I decided that we would have to make weekly visits to Georgia's and try all of the amazing dishes on the menu! Although there are other locations, I plan on returning to this one because of my fantastic experience in Eastvale. Overall, I highly recommend Georgia's Restaurant and can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I got their french fries and coleslaw. Each platter also comes with a slice of cornbread. I'll say that the barbecue here was excellent. brisket was nice and soft and just the right amount of inter-muscular fat in each bite. The sausage was good, but what I was most surprised about was the baby back ribs those ribs were actually really good. I've been to a lot of places where the ribs are a tad bit dry but these ones were nice and soft with a nice smoky flavor it was actually one of the better baby back ribs I've had! Apparently, there are a lot of people who know about this place so if you want to die in here during lunchtime, consider coming a little bit earlier because there's definitely a lunch rush. I came here at 11:30 and it wasn't that four but as soon as noon hit the place was packed! Everyone was really nice. The person at the cashier explained the menu because we mention it was my first time there. This is definitely place you want to check out if you're in the area and if you like some good barbecue!
