    The bread given as a little appetizer was SO GOOD
    Maylen L.

    JDs mission steakhouse Riverside, CA Date went 6/19/26 Reservation originally made for a party of 8 Actual attendees from the party 7/8 Time of reservation 6:30pm We ordered our food at around 6:46pm and our food came to the table at about 7:31 and 7:40pm (about an 50 minute to an hour wait time). CUSTOMER SERVICE From front desk to our main waitress, all staff were friendly. I didn't quite catch our waitress's name which makes me sad because she was GREAT! She has her hair cut about shoulder length and her hair dyed red. My party asked for small things such as a side butter and parmesan cheese and she was so nice and accommodating about getting it. Additionally, she brought us out extra plates and knives for a birthday in our party. Towards the end, the live singer, the staff, and the entire restaurant ended up singing happy birthday to my grandma which made her cry. Without even asking for a dessert they also gave her a cookie with some ice cream on it and a candle. So, customer service at this location is 100% for sure 10/10. ATMOSPHERE The establishment was clean and cute, the bathrooms were clean, and everyone in the restaurant appeared to be running smoothly. The live singer was great, he sang songs from all different types of artists ( Weezer, RadioHead, John Mayer, Amy Winehouse etc.). FOOD PURCHASED The food in rating is the food I actually purchased and ate myself, my party split our check 3 ways. Sauteed Mushrooms Fresh whole mushrooms sauteéd in butter, wine & garlic. Served with garlic toast. - $14.99 Roasted Brussel Sprouts Drizzled with balsamic reduction topped with bacon crumbs. - $14.99 Ribeye 16oz 29-days dry-aged, cooked to your liking & served with your choice of two sides. - $52.99 Food Ratings: Sauteed Mushrooms: 8/10; I like the serving size of the sautéed mushrooms, but I love mushrooms so I wish the tray was slightly bigger. Just about everyone at my table had a bite and every single person thought they tasted good. I personally asked for a small tray of Parmesan cheese to add on top of it and it made the mushrooms even better. Brussel sprouts: 7/10; I love brussel sprouts, however, I feel like something was missing from this appetizer. The appetizer dish was huge which I am grateful for, however, balsamic reduction alone wasn't doing it. I just realized to that no bacon was topped with our dish when it was supposed to come with it. I'd suggest doing a rendition of this dish with an apple cider reduction, topped with basil, parsley & goat cheese. I ended up adding some salt, pepper, and a little of Parmesan cheese so I'd eat more of this appetizer. We didn't end up finishing this dish, didn't have much flavor going on :( Ribeye: 7.5/10; I love Ribeyes; they are my favorite cut of steak. We asked for it to be "Medium", and that request was executed perfectly. I had to ask for a side of butter because I personally like my steak with a little bit more flavor. So, if it already came with a side of butter or if it was cooked with butter and rosemary then this steak would've really popped! I would have rather my sides be two scoops of mash potatoes rather than getting the asparagus. Overall, the texture was great, size was good, and I got full. Overall - Customer service was 10/10, this includes the live singer they had for the night - Please give name tags I wish I could properly shoutout our waitress :( - The whole restaurant, staff, and live singer sang for my grandmother for her 79th birthday and it made her feel special and cry (in a good way) THANK YOU - Paper towel holder needs fixing in the bathroom - The bacon was forgotten on my brussel sprouts appetizer :( I'd prefer the mushroom appetizer over the brussel sprouts - If possible offer or give small trays of butter for steaks I'd come here if you want great customer service, good food, and a live performance. Thank you for making the experience memorable for my grandmother!

    Super delicious and juicy! They even sang happy birthday to my fiancé it was awesome!

    Weird menu with the hours you can order items

    The thing about finding places on social Media is it is hit or miss. The post I saw made it look amazing. It is a basic restaurant. It's not a hidden gem. I ordered fish and chips. They were good. Nothing out of the ordinary. I did not order a drink as there was no bartender. It's in not the greatest location either. All around just basic. Also the menu is weirdly divided at the top whether it is for lunch or dinner. I've never seen that before.

    This is a great place to enjoy a night out to celebrate with your loved ones. Our waiter was Oscar. He was the best. Very attentive and knew the menu. He was the perfect individual to service our birthday celebration. The entire team made the celebration wonderful. The food was cooked to perfection. The lamb steak was delicious. The New York steak perfection . For appetizers I would recommend the wings. The sauce comes separately and you place on the wings your discretion. Lemon pepper and buffalo . Either way, perfect. Thank you guys for always taking care of my family. You guys are awesome .

    The place felt a bit unkempt. It wasn't dirty but just felt as if there wasn't any love put into the dining areas. The service was good. Our server was attentive and very nice. We had a good time with her. The food was tasty for the most part. It needed a touch of salt and all the flavor was brought out. They had just gotten their liquor license which was a plus. However, they served my margarita with table salt instead of margarita salt, so that was slightly disappointing. The margarita itself was good, though, so that helped. Most of the food is served on wooden cutting boards. A nice niche for them, but they had obviously not had new ones is quite some time. So it made us a little uneasy about the cleanliness of those boards.

    Sirloin w/shirmp

    First time visiting this place, very quaint. The food was perfectly cooked as ordered, steak was very tender with great flavor. Asparagus was nice and crisp. The garlic mash was meh even with extra salt and pepper, it needs work. The onion rings are on point. Ambience was great while live guitar and piano player was playing. But then went silent when he stopped, y'all need a jukebox or something. Will definitely be back and try the brunch. Service was good too, very attentive.

    Live it up till we crash In the smoke and ash  Birthday Lunch  Lamb T-Bone Steak w/ madeira tarragon sauce w/ garlic mash and chipotle mac
    Mojo S.

    One thing I know about myself is I can't resist trying out new animals prepared in familiar ways. You can see it clearly whenever I see a new type of animal made into hash. Elk, venison, walleye, duck, &c...--just give me all the animals chopped up and placed atop diced or shredded potatoes. And you can also see it when places liked JD's makes cute animals into some kind of steak cut. I love it when we can make stuff into steak--just turn all the cute and convert it into cuts. That lamb t-bone was perfect. It was still juicy, still soft, and still gamey. It hit the spot in a way that a normal steak wouldn't have. It made me wish that lamb was made into t-bones on more menus. I'd seriously order that with great frequency. The garlic mashed potatoes and Chipotle Mac were good sides. They weren't anything special but I found myself still wishing seconds ordering was a thing. And the space was nice too. I can see why this is a popular Sunday Brunch meeting place and why everyone remarks how the service staff is super competent. I never had one problem not checking in with is enough.

Checks on all his customers.

    Bruschetta appetizer
    Lisa G.

    Oh my gosh I LOVED everything except fake mashed potatoes. I am coming back and hope to up this to a 5 star review. Steak (ribeye) was perfection! Drinks, atmosphere, and service were great. I prefer a family vibe over stuffy & uptight so the vibe was excellent. We weren't rushed. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly! Wedge salad was crisp, fresh and cold. I love a great wedge salad and they did not disappoint. Bruschetta appetizer was full of flavor and on crispy bread. So delicious! Please upgrade to fresh mashed potatoes!

    Ribeye, baked potato and asparagus
    Clarissa C.

    This place was a perfect balance of being family friendly and a nice sit down steak house. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were also pretty good! Considering the quality of the meal, the pricing is definitely reasonable. My steak was flavorful and staff was friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

However, the waiter did not submit my order to the kitchen until 3:06 p.m. The cook subsequently refused to prepare the ham sandwich because the order was entered after the lunch cutoff time. I then spoke with the manager, Brian, who stated that he could not require the cook to prepare the sandwich. Rather than attempting to resolve the situation, Brian argued with me, belittled me in front of other patrons, and repeatedly emphasized that he had been doing his job for over 30 years. I found his conduct to be unprofessional, disrespectful, and unnecessary. The delay in submitting my order was entirely beyond my control, as I placed my order before the lunch service ended. Instead of focusing on finding a reasonable solution, Brian chose to degrade me publicly. I also felt that I was treated differently because I am a Black man. While I cannot know his intent, the manner in which I was addressed and treated left me feeling discriminated against and deeply disrespected. I am extremely disappointed by this experience. I expected courteous customer service and a reasonable effort to address a situation that was not of my making. Instead, I left feeling humiliated and undervalued as a customer.

The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back.
