I still come back for the food! The filet mignon sandwich is AMAZING! It's so big it could easily be two meals, but it's so good you'll want to eat the whole thing. My husband always orders the steak, and it's consistently very good as well. The service, however, is still a struggle. It's never a particularly welcoming atmosphere, and even getting soda refills can be difficult. We also love the chips and salsa, but every time we order them, they arrive just seconds before our entrées. Overall, the food keeps us coming back, but the service still has plenty of room for improvement. read more

I always hate reviewing a business low... However the food was not enough for me to come back.. they are known for their stake bites, it was very chewy and bland, I had one piece and I gave them back This was a bummer because I came really far for this place, I was told their buffalo wings were good-- I also was not a fan-- sorry guys I just wish I liked the food better. I'm sure it's a great atmosphere for a bar though read more

We are so disappointed. We've been coming here for years and have always enjoyed the food. Recently, we stopped by for lunch and the food was terrible. We thought maybe it was just a one-time situation since everyone can have an off day. Unfortunately, we decided to give it another try today with a to-go order, and once again the food was very disappointing. To be fair, we should have checked the order before leaving, but we've honestly never had issues here before aside from last week. The nacho order we received looked nothing like what was requested, and the overall quality was far below what we've come to expect over the years. We're not sure if there's a new chef or if management has changed something recently, but the difference in quality has been very noticeable. We hate leaving a negative review for a place we've supported for so long, but after two bad experiences back-to-back, we felt it was important to share our disappointment. As you can see from the screen shot of our order nothing was on the nachos that was requested. read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is fabulous and their drinks are amazing, the cantaloupe martini is my go to every time. This place never disappoints and the atmosphere is great. The servers and bartenders have such great attitudes, keeps me coming back! read more

Ordered a Ribeye, got a New York. Not a huge deal, but asked the waitress to only charge me for the New York. Took my plate to the kitchen and came back saying that what was very obviously a New York steak was a Ribeye. I've been here many times and am not coming back. read more

I've been going here for a few years now. Ever since they switched over to flat top it's been very inviting. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the outside patio is family, friendly! The waiters are very attentive and give great recommendations on food. Our go to is the brussels sprouts and the lobster mac & cheese. However, anything on the menu is really good. They have a great drink list and the best part is when they have live events. It's a great place close to home. The bar food here is not like your typical bar food. Come with an appetite, be ready for great food, drinks, and a good time read more

Tried to book private event since my parents came here for their celebration of life. Never got a call back. I took my money elsewhere.

We got here around noon on a Sunday and the interior was already super loud despite being more than half empty. Fortunately, they offered us outdoor seating, which was much more quiet. The setting is nice, not high end but comfortable and elegant. Our server initially didn't seem very interested in us, but once she came to our table was super chipper and excited about explaining the menu. We had lots of attention throughout the meal as well. The food itself was great. The shrimp pasta dish was my favorite. The brunch items were also well liked by guests. The Cajun chicken sandwich was probably the weakest link and was way too messy and yet not that flavorful. read more

While not very familiar with the area, Flat Top Bar and Grill popped up on my Yelp while I was hungry and looking for a place to grab a bite with a friend. Little did I know it was more like a neighborhood bar with a nice amount of seating area. They had some good amounts of steaks on the menu and I felt like it had to try one of those out. The Skirt Steak with chimichurri sounded great and I chose the loaded baked potato for my side to go with it. The flavor of the steak itself was pretty good but I did not like the side of chimichurri it came with as it tasted like nothing so I'm glad I got to avoid that and just enjoy the meat and potatoes. I also got to use a few bites of the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich with fries and it was good. Specially the fries had a nice seasoning and a crisp to it. read more

I came into Flat Top today on my lunch break and drove 25 minutes just to get back to work and realize my order was completely wrong. Not only was the order incorrect, but there were no napkins, forks, or knives included either. I ordered the nachos with everything on them, and they came basically plain. On top of that, the chips tasted old and stale. It honestly felt like old food was being served, which is really disappointing and disgusting. I've been coming here for years, and the quality has gone way downhill. I'm extremely unhappy with this experience, especially after going out of my way during my limited lunch break. read more

Place has been great for us. We eat here once every couple months and been satisfied with food and service each time. Wife always orders the steak with blue cheese sauce and it's always good. Place is coool to hang out too lots of tvs for sporting events. read more

The food is OK here sometimes it's better than others. Brussels sprouts are usually super delicious but today the service was just terrible. My boss brought a bunch of us in for lunch. She spent over $300 and when she herself ordered the brussels sprouts without bacon it still came with bacon, which totally irritated her. We've also heard rumors that there's been shootings here before. It's starting to be a place that you don't really want to take the work crew anymore read more

Flat Top is usually a great hang, but tonight was missing one key ingredient--ladies at the bar. The vibe felt a little too chill, and not in the fun way. Sad Rich was sipping solo. BUT major shoutout to the bartender with the backwards hat--cool dude, didn't catch his name, but he crushed it with the Old Fashioned. Easily one of the best I've had in a while. Also, pro tip: get the Caesar salad with blackened salmon. It slaps. Might honestly be the sleeper hit of the menu. read more

For a fun and great drinking bar, I would definitely praise the amount and artistry of the alcoholic beverages. The prices appeared reasonable at first, until I ordered Surf and Turf. As done by another review, I agree my steak lacked flavor, though it had a nice grill look. I requested rare and found my steak lacking juicy taste. However, the shrimp and lobster made up for the steaks imperfection. Though the seafood were small, I enjoyed them more the 8oz steak needing A1 sauce. The server Daniel was really nice and even offered to replace my dish. I declined, as I know better tasting meet needs marinating or smoking before grilling. I at least enjoy time hanging out with colleagues With the heat warmer and nice outdoor space. I would go again, only to enjoy drinks with people or when the bar has bands playing on social media posted dates. read more

Food was great. But outside seating can be uncomfortable if the weather is very warm. All in all, a very nice spot.

If you're in the area and haven't been to Flattop Bar and Grill, you're seriously missing out. It's literally my go to spot in Riverside. The drinks are beyond amazing. Like actually crafted well, strong in the best way, and always consistent. They don't miss. It is a little on the pricier side, but honestly if you want good quality, that's kind of the deal. You're paying for the experience and the taste, and it delivers. read more

I would give more stars if I could. My family and I went to enjoy the band Southbound and it was amazing. My brothers, their wives and my two nephews were impressed with the fresh food, and the service as were my husband and I. That manager (I think she was the manager) was running around and taking care of customers and assisting staff. The staff was professional as was the customer service and the timing. It was packed and I expected a wait on the service but the kitchen and staff were on top of things. The band....what can I say. They were really good. Yeah we're older so the set was perfect. Thanks so much for the wonderful experiment. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Came here first week of the new year during the week for lunch. I've seen videos of this place online and knew I had to try soon. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. As we were looking over our menu a highly intoxicated man was roaming around the tables, it had us in guard. A server took him outside. We ordered and once we saw the presentation of our food we were excited to try. Half way thru our amazing meal the same intoxicated man started roaming around the table then went back to the bar talking about women. I believe it was the owner or manager came and let him know he'll need to finish his drink and leave. The man went back outside. Once we finished our food we wanted to try a dessert. We tried the butter cake. Let me start off with our steaks and sides. WOOOOOOW AMAZING everything was made to perfection, hats off to the chef. Definitely coming back for the amazing food. Now that butter cake. I've had a few butter cakes in my life. This one I wouldn't be having again. Maybe try a different dessert. So the only reason why a star is missing is for the cake and definitely for the intoxicated man that made my time there guarded. Hopefully my next visit will be better. Thank you for the amazing food. read more

This was our first time here. We made a reservation for my Husband's birthday. We had somewhat of a large group of 9 people. We didn't all make it on time but they still seated those of us who were there, so that was nice. They didn't leave a drink menu with the food menus so the 7 of us who did show up on time had asked for one, but still had not received one by the time the last 2 of us arrived. We still waited another 10 or 15 minutes after that before even seeing our server then receiving the drink menu after having to ask for it again. When the first 7 of us arrived, 3 of us ordered bottled beer (without the drink menu). 2 of us got our beer and the 3rd one wasn't brought to us until after the drink menu was dropped off. The rest of the drinks came out relatively quickly as did the appetizers we ordered with the drinks. We got the apps before we ever got any plates or utensils so we just had to wait again. The bacon wrapped dates were decent as were the nachos. For entrees, we ordered 2 different steak dishes, lobster tail, steak bites w/brussels sprouts, shrimp cocktail (app menu), a burger, chicken Alfredo, the dog, BLT, and the fish n chips. For dessert we ordered the creme brulee and butter cake. We all waited for for each other to begin so half of us ended up eating cold food because it all came out at very different times. The shrimp cocktail came out last, but as the easiest thing to prepare, that was a head scratcher for us. The NY steak was overcooked and the lobster tail was inedible - that was the bday boy's entree, so very disappointing. We both had brussel sprouts with our dishes and mine were cooked well (not seasoned) but his were barely steamed. Not at all roasted or fried. The ribeye steak was undercooked. Both steak dishes were ordered medium. The noodles in the alfredo were also undercooked. The Cadillac margarita was decent. The peach cobbler martini said it came with a graham cracker rim but it was just sprinkled on the top of the drink. It was still tasty, though. The creme brulee was super ice cold (I know some places do it cold but it seemed almost frozen), had a consistency thicker than flan and was chunky, not creamy. The top was barely caramelized. The butter cake had no crisp to it. Our server was given several large tables pretty close together in time so we knew he had his hands full. However, we saw him at the other tables far more often than at ours. He was still very nice. However the bus boy was more attentive than our server was able to be. I almost forgot to take pictures so the ones I got were after everyone stopped eating. The only dish that was eaten fully was the dog. They also made no mention of the birthday we were celebrating, even though I specified it in our reservation. The patio is cool, though. $552 bill. We tipped the bus boy with what cash we had and the server on the bill. So $679 in total, but we won't be going back. read more

Food is always great but PLEASE add a couple more vegetarian options. Please add a veggie or bean burger or Beyond Burger. The only options now are pasta hold the chicken so I'm paying for meat I didn't get, salad or sides. You should have at least one actual dish that is vegetarian. read more

The rack of lamb was really good! It was a nice place to get a cocktail and food. I would recommend this place!

The chicken Marsala was delicious. The service was good. My only complaint is the expensive drinks. At a neighborhood bar drinks should not be $18 each. My cantaloupe martini was good but my second drink was not. That was $36 for two drinks. Outrageous!!! read more

Tonight I had the lemon chicken. It was wonderful, I forgot to take a photo but it melted in my mouth.would recommend. It had a really good lemon sauce. I chose mashed potatoes as my side. Our waiters name was Brody. He took care of 100 percent. He was so polite. I've been to flat top before but never have I gotten such outstanding service. It is rather noisy so it's hard to carry a conversation. It was raining so didn't want to go outside. This was New Year's Eve so they were busy. We will be back again. Hopefully we will have Brody as our server . read more

Food: tasty, but very inconsistent in terms of presentation. Drinks: good, but expensive for what you get and martinis aren't served in the proper glass. Beware of bartender recommendations: our bartender suggested 1/2 chicken and 1/2 steak for the nachos and then slapped us with as 50% up-charge on our tab. Every time we come to FlatTops we are reminded why we don't come here as often as we used to. read more

Eight for late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. 2 orders of Sliders, Fish and Chips, 2 orders of American Salads one with salmon, Southwest Steak salad, Classic Hamburger and an order of Taco Flight. The food was five star, nice portions, high quality and priced as such. Spacious, roomy with two bars. No band playing but extremely loud with excited customers watching college football. Parking is a challenge. Flat top was not that crowded but the lot was full, there was a dirt lot across the road, not sure if it was for overflow. Our server Stephanie was excellent handling a table of eight almost getting everything perfect. read more

Came here tonight with my boyfriend for Valentine's day. Cute little spot. We had a reservation and we got sat right away. The server was very cute and energetic I believe her name was Senia. The kitchen was really slow tonight, it took us about an hour to get our food and seemed a bit unorganized. However it was Valentine's Day so we didn't think too much of it. We ordered the tomahawk dinner for 2. I had the lobster bisque to start which was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! Then we tried to bacon wrapped dates. Those were yummy too, I am just not a date person. But my boyfriend really liked them. We then had the steak with baked potato and veggies. The steak was delicious with a garlic butter. The baked potato was yummy as well. The dinner also came with a dessert but I was too full to finish. Overall the food was really good. I would definitely come back, but perhaps on not such a busy night. read more
