The Mac Rib ($35) - butter toast sandwitching a slab of beef rib, bed of rib bits, and finally a beef patty. The slab of beef rib itself was well smoked with a gradient of seasoning caramelized into the meat. Picking that apart was a bit messy but very tasty. Be warned its a lot to eat for 1 person so prepare to split it with someone. With the amount of meat going on, you essentially have 2 sandwiches! Smoke Brisket Fries ($17) - Brisket pieces shotgunned over the waffle fries, very flavorful and the right sized portion for one person.

I've tried several of their…read moreholiday drinks, and every single one has been delicious--flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Their pastries are also really good and pair perfectly with a coffee or seasonal drink. The space itself is clean, modern, and has a really trendy, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay awhile, whether you're catching up with someone or just enjoying some time to yourself. Every visit has been consistently great--nothing has ever disappointed. Overall, Arcade Coffee is a solid go-to in Riverside if you want good drinks, good pastries, and a nice atmosphere.

It looked like it was made with love. The egg+cheese sandwich absolutely carried the experience (seriously, give that thing a raise), and the matcha held its own as it was refreshing! Now the not so great... the huevos rancheros were unfortunately very, very, salty.. but I didn't want my money to go to waste so I made myself eat it.. The coffee was bitter, pretty but bitter. I usually like bitter coffee but this one caught me off guard haha The Customer service wasn't great.. The server asked if we needed anything else but was already walking away before we could answer. Overall, the matcha and egg+cheese sandwich was the best part from this experience. I would recommend those two.

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved. What sets Urban Skillet apart before you even take a bite is the integrity behind the food 100% non-GMO, grass-fed, organic, and halal. You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

The restaurant has a casual, trendy brunch vibe and the menu is full of creative options that sounded really good. We tried the Brisket S'Mac Wrap, the Eggcelent Morning, and the truffle fries. The brisket wrap was flavorful and filling, with a nice balance of savory and cheesy. The Eggcelent Morning was solid comfort food and definitely satisfied a brunch craving. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great shareable side. Service was the one downside. It was not very attentive, and we waited longer than expected for check-ins and refills. It was not terrible, but noticeable enough to impact the experience. Not to mention, it was not very busy at all around the time weren't, which was on a Wednesday around noon. Overall, the food was good and I would come back, especially when in the mood for brunch. With a little improvement in service, this could easily be a great go-to spot

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

The burger was medium, juicy, cooked just right and packed with flavor. The onion rings were super crispy on the outside and had the perfect crunch. However, I prefer the fries.

The atmosphere was fun and laidback. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. Over all a solid spot if your looking for good comfort food, big menu and a chill place to eat. This is my 3rd time here. : )

Unfortunately, our experience with the two female servers was disappointing. They came across as rude and made it feel like our large group was an inconvenience. We were passed by multiple times without being helped, and when we finally asked another server to get someone to take our order, he kindly stepped in and helped us himself. He had a great attitude and was very accommodating, which we really appreciated. When our food was brought out, one of the servers had an attitude when we asked a few questions, which added to the negative experience. I wish I had gotten their names. On a positive note, the bartender when we first arrived the gentleman with the long hair was very friendly and helpful. He assisted us quickly while we waited for our table, and that first impression was great. Overall, while the food and some staff were excellent, the service from the two servers on the patio took away from the experience.

Is it just me or a lot of Mexican restaurants incorporating some kind of Asian flair to their meals…read morenow. I've been noticing a lot of birria ramen lately at Mexican restaurants. Not complaining as I love both. This was a first time for me here. We were in the area and were walking around trying to find someplace for lunch. In downtown on Main Street, there wasn't much options to choose from as a lot of the places seemed to be closed or not open till later. We saw this place which there was 2 other guest on the patio but it was open. Checked out the menu but the birria ramen sign caught my attention. The restaurant itself isn't that big. Main seating area is on the patio which looks out to the boardwalk. Perfect for people watching. The waitress that took care of us was a major doll. Very sweet and friendly. Don't remember her name. Food wise, they had a good amount of your traditional dishes. I saw the ramen sign and that's what was ordered. Also the chicken quesadillas. Chips and two different kind of salsas was brought out to start. It could be a hit or miss on them but I can say it was a hit with these. Both of the salsas were quite tasty and had a nice spicy kick to it. Food, the chicken quesadillas were quite thick in the way it was prepared. Rolled and almost in a burrito formed and sliced for easy eating. Nice big chunks of chicken and a good amount of cheese. Came with a side of sour cream, guacamole and fresh jalapeño slices. Plus rice and beans which we opted just for rice. And of course the birria ramen. A decent size bowl with a very good amount of meat. Topped with red onion and cilantro. The broth was good. Flavor, it was decent and seasoned well. Overall, it was decent but the potions or meat made a difference. Food was quite nice and tasty. Both the ramen and quesadillas were enjoyed as well as the chips and salsa. It's a cute little restaurant which we quite enjoyed. Service was great and all the staff were amazing.
