My chicken was raw lol. Threw it out because why would I keep it? Called and asked for a refund and they said yea so when I went they wanted the chicken sandwich back so bad for me to get a refund. Showed the picture and the guy said "you could've done that yourself" why the h3ll would I put raw chicken on my own sandwich why would I go through the struggle of driving home and back for 13 bucks LOL WHATTTT and the guy at the register was so defensive about it like if it was coming out of his pocket or something read more

George's Drive-In - raw chicken lol - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Do not listen to the bitter reviews. Yes there's homeless people outside, but it's worth it. Best breakfast burritos I've ever had. 20 stars

I wanted to grab breakfast for me and my family after doing some laundry and I thought about trying George's Drive-In because it was recommended by a friend and down the street. Decent sized parking lot and the building has this retro feeling of a real mom & pop kitchen. The signs were well lit and easy to read. The menu was simple to understand and even had specials. I was the only person there and was ignored. I noticed workers walking around and even heard the chef yell out "WINDOW!" which I assume was to tell someone to come up front but no. Someone did walk by again, putting stuff away and laughing. I don't eat out much anymore but when I do, I like to support local businesses. I'm sure this wasn't on purpose and not personal to me but what happened this morning felt uncomfortable. I don't know. I was only person there waiting and there was no greeting or acknowledgment when a customer is literally standing right at the window. Even telling me "I'll be right with you" would've been okay but the entire energy made me feel weird so I left. I didn't say anything....i just left and I won't be back. read more

Amazing zucchini order! Tasty crispy, and the best thick and flavorful ranch dressing ever! A 10-10! At $5.95 a bargain, the bag was full!! read more

This place isn't the same. Never thought I'd be doing this to a place I grew up with and loved since the 80s but their quality of food has gone down big time. I have made the decision to not go there anymore since my last 5 visits have been the same. Poor low energy quality of workers. Burger bread dry. Fries double/triple fried/ soaked oily & burned. Bums everywhere. I haven't felt safe there at all. It's probably time to close the doors! Georges has seen it's best days and that ended around 2010ish... read more

Went to eat here today at about 1 pm and sign said closed, empty parking lot. Not sure why. Long time to get food last time we ate there, about 40 minutes to get one double burger combo with zucchini and 2 drinks. read more

The food was good I had a club sandwich which is similar to their George's Special only a bit cheaper in price. My husband ordered the pastrami which was a little salty but the chili cheese fries were delicious. The back area with the booths was a little messy the tables were not clean good thing I have wipes in my purse ‍ The service well the lady could be a bit nicer our first time there and I asked what was inside the special and she said it's in the window but it doesn't state what kind of meat it has? That was my question and I still got attitude ‍ We tried it so now to the next stop. read more

George's Drive-In - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Had business to take care of in Norco and we were craving a good burger. George's came to mind and it was just a little bit more of a drive, so we went for it. Georges's was the place to get the best burger in Riverside when we were teens in the 80's. We were so excited on the way there to see if the food was still good as we remembered it. We pull up, and the first thing we noticed was that they changed the color scheme to their sign. But other than that, the outside of the property was about the same as we remembered it. Going to cut to the chase here, so this review is not a book. The order window on our visit was attended by an elderly lady who has taken her spirit animal way too serious. Her spirit animal is the honey badger and with that said, this lady does NOT give a shit!!! If you do not have tough skin, do NOT go to George's and mess with this elderly honey badger, because she with "F" you up!!! I'm serious!!! Luckily, I did very well with this lady after I recognized and had previous experience with that spirit animal. My experience comes from dealing with my own mother. For a split second, I thought that was my mother. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger, a regular cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. Food was solid. Their onion rings have always stood out. I'm glad that they never changed the type of batter they used. Their dining room, pretty nasty, lol. We were going to eat outside, but on our visit, there were a few guys suffering from mental illness or something just hanging out by the outside tables either talking to themselves or walking around with scissors. I should have taken a quick vid, but there's no way they wouldn't notice that and that's just asking for it. Would I recommend this place, of course. Would I come back, absolutely and I might even bring that lady a stuffed toy honey badger! read more

The place might look a bit old and worn, but the food is fantastic. The burger and onion rings were seriously delicious--some of the best I've had. Customer service was neutral, which I actually appreciate--I'm not a fan of overly cheerful service. When I asked for extra banana peppers, they gladly gave them to me, no problem. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone who's all about great food. read more

George's is an absolute Riverside icon. They have been serving the same drive-in style comfort food for as long as I can remember. Definitely stood the test of time and still the same amazing family behind it. My favorites are the fried mushrooms you can't get anywhere, bbq beef, pastrami, and burgers but there's so much more... don't expect to get your personality coddled here and you may be disappointed if you're in a rush, but if you want great diner food at a retro drive-in style restaurant, with the same Greek family who's been doing this for over 50 years, that's what you'll get. There's plenty of outdoor seating and the area can get shady at night, but that's a Riverside problem. Glad George's keeps doing their thing! In a world of strip malls and fast food chains, may George's live long and prosper! Definitely recommend. read more

I always see this place in passing, and today I just had to stop and order something! This place has a wide selection of food to choose from, from a zero can food ,to grinders , Mexican food ! Etc . Nice outdoors seating . It's a walk to order set up ! I kept it simple and ordered the cheese burger special , which came with fries and a drink . The food was made fresh to order ! Fries hot fresh out of the grease ! Yummy ! And the burger ! So yummy , there's nothing like a real authentic charbroiled burger ! And the owner is very sweet ! read more

I have been going to George's for over 40 years now, usually to take their food into the Van Buren Drive-In to eat while watching a movie. They have a huge menu but I have stuck with a few tried and trues which have always been excellent. The Pastrami sandwich is great as is the fried zucchini. I love their deep-fried burrito with chili on it, I have them add cheese and onions on top. I have tried the fried mushrooms and they are also tasty. I am assuming people who didn't like George's ordered other items than those I listed. read more

Shit phone order, got told to hold on a sec and waited for 10 minutes then they hung u without taking the order.

Ordered 2 steak sandwiches. They made a mistake with 1 (put everything on it when it was suppose to be plain with mayo only) I let them know and I watched them take the sandwich and take the steak off and pretty sure they just replaced the bread as the sandwich still had a seed from the pickle on it. Sandwiches were nothing special. Never again. People were friendly read more

George's Drive-In - My leg chillin by the blue table waitin for my burrito. Hot sauce on my burrito babay - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Came here when I first moved to Riverside because I wanted some good food and this place looked alright. I ordered chili cheese fries a pastrami and a shake. I don't know what kind of chili they use but I threw the fries away. I had to cook the pastrami some more in the skillet but it was decent and the shake was delicious. I should have just got a burger but I know it's not handmade. The place was packed too. I don't understand the lack of decent food out here. I haven't been back but something is telling me to give them another try. I'll definitely get another shake and a different food item. Lastly they were messing up orders left end right. One lady just said give me my money back and didn't allow them to fix it. I should have done the same because they messed up my order too. read more

Tried for the first time after passing this place for years and I was extremely disappointed :( cashier that took our order was a very nice girl but the other guys were very rude. The wait was very long and there wasn't that much people around the time we went. The food was trash also and not worth the wait. Late at night but still a very long wait and ambiance was mid. Also was looking forward to a chocolate shake with bananas in it and they said their machine was broken.. okay McDonald's! read more

Excellent mom and pop burger place in Riverside. Very personal service by the owners. Great quality, generous serving sizes, and always fresh and made to order. Definitely worth the small extra cost over the chain burger places. Highly recommend for lunch! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. It is beyond unprofessional to have an individual working as cashier that has a bad attitude. Even if the food itself is good, people want to come to a place where they feel welcomed. And i certainly did not here. Girl at the cashier had an attitude right from the start and got my order wrong because she was too busy trying to hurry us along. If you are unhappy with your job and don't want to be there, make some personal adjustments, don't take it out on the customers. First and last time coming here. read more

We haven't been here in years. Recently I seen a video/post from I.E explore raving about the subs. So we decided to try it out. We were very disappointed, soggy bread, no mayo or mustard. Only a vinegarette. Absolutely no flavor. Don't waste your money like we did. $47 down the drain!! read more

I personally thought the food was okay. The fries were a bit bland like it lacked salt. The burger was good in my opinion, i did like how it was prepared. However, the service was very rude and really unorganized. The lady at the register a young white lady in a pink tshirt with dirty blonde hair and a couple lobe and helix piercings was rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. She didn't repeat back the order and i had to correct her before the screen change to the amount due. I was the one who told her sorry about that and she didn't even apologize about it. Instead she called over her manager i believe javier to void the transaction. Still no apology for the mix up. When she retyped it in she forget that both burgers had grilled onions. Hopefully customer service changes here! read more

Went to this place and waited 40 minutes to get my food. I only ordered food for two people and they were skipping order numbers taking bigger orders first. I haven't been to this place since before the pandemic and this is exactly why I'm not coming back. Not even at a fancy restaurant they take this long. It's called fast food for a reason. If you're going on your lunch break, good luck you'll be spending your whole lunch waiting for your food. read more

The cashier doesn't know how to order and she clearly can't hear well. She just stares around all lost. They spit in my food and my burger looked like if someone gave it back and they scraped it off and gave it to me. I waited 30 mins for food I ordered 20mins before I got there. So in total 50 mins for 4 burgers... read more

Been driving past this place for awhile. Decided to try it based on reviews. Red flags all around. First off, while in line, every customer picking up their food had something missing. To top it off, they argue with you for your missing items. Secondly, the cashier doesn't pay attention to you, she's answering phones, helping in the back and gets mad when she doesn't hear you. She literally looked up the price for every item we ordered. Two meals came out to $42. They won't even give you a receipt! Waited 20 mins for soggy zucchini fries and mushrooms. Then i asked for banana peppers and they said no. Only one side PER order. I argued that I ordered two meals, $20 each, they still said no. Ended up buying extra just to try to enjoy my meal. The ranch is very watery. The indoor eating area was hot, no AC and no ventilation. I will never go back to this rude staffed place. read more

They DO NOT SKIMP. The food is always delicious. I always order the tuna melt and zucchini fries. One side of zucchini is honestly a small meal itself. The sandwich is always fully stacked with tuna and your drink is huge! I used to think it was expensive for $18 but for the amount and size of food you get it's worth the price. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because their combos are not really combos in price. They basically just charge you for 2 orders in price. read more

Just happened to be in the area around "stomach grumbling" hour and was in the mood for some onion rings and possibly a char flamed burger. Minutes later I drive in front of this spot and see several people deep in line. I roll the dice. The exterior is run down, but who cares, most good greasy spoons lack exterior decor. I walked up and just asked 2 gentlemen in line what they were there to enjoy. In unison they said "THEIR ONION RINGS!!" Sold, I'm in! I ordered their pastrami with onion rings and stated with my sister. The meat was flavorful, not a ton of fat, the bread was nicely toasted with a little char on it...perfect! Onion rings did not disappoint, next time I was told to try their zucchini sticks! So if you're in the area and just feel like a tasty pastrami, George's is your jam! read more

George's Drive-In - They had a big line, but the workers were on it!! - American Near Me - Riverside, California

This was our first time coming to George's drive-in for starters there was a long line and when it was our turn we were greeted by Manuel - very awesome job he kept his composure and all guests orders were taken while also maintaining to give out the food at decent time to the guests that had been waiting. Five stars to Manuel and the cooks! Unfortunately - at 2pm a young girl clocks in and right away seemed very overwhelmed and frustrated .. I watched my food sit for 5 min and when she finally opened the window to hand out my food she didn't mention if I wanted condiments and just felt very rushed. My husband went up to the window after me and wanted chili peppers and hears her remark "all these people need to get away from the pick up window" - as all guest start to laugh off the rudeness of the girl it was very clear this isn't a job she should be in. Because if she managed to take care of guest she wouldn't have this issue. I hope to visit again on a day she isn't there she is the reason for the degraded rating - definitely needs to work on her attitude! read more

Great customer service but the food was bland. I got the California burger, the burger wasn't bad just needed a lil more flavor. I also got the fried zucchini and those were terrible. My daughter got the chili cheese fries and those were nasty. I've came here before many years ago and for sure things have changed. read more

The pastrami burger was decent, but a little dry. A little more juiciness with the same flavor would be great. The atmosphere and area is ok and close to the mall. Service is good.

My family and I usually go here to get their zucchini and mushroom with dip. The dip is really good. Yesterday I tried the nachos, the meat is dry but tastes good.
