    Patio seating area
    Leilani M.

    Why didn't I know about this location?! Shopping nearby we saw Johnny's. It has that mom n pop old school feel. Sort of like a beach location, brick building, fans going wooden booths. There's also a patio seating area. Awesome service from all the staff here. Friendly, helpful and welcoming. Burger had that backyard bbq char that sets it apart from the norm. Seasoned well. Juices or Self serve fountain drinks were great for the hot day. Parking on both sides of the building drive thru available.

    I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for Johnny's burgers but overall i think it's a good restaurant. My favorite has to be their zucchinis with ranch but their sandwhiches are also good. Burgers are good but not better than in n out. Service is usually quick but the drive thru does tend to be packed so i suggest ordering ahead by phone or just going inside to wait. I will say i prefer their old aesthetic that was more 50s diner inspired but the inside is still clean and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. One of their downfalls may be that their menu has too many items which makes the food good but it would probably be great if they just focused on a select items.

    Absolutely love Johnny's! Long time 20+ years customers. If you know, then you know! If you're in Riverside and want the best charbroiled pastrami burger or breakfast I town you must stop by, the line inside and out says it all.

    Bacon cheese burger

    Location was right across from a store we were at and smells of the grille was enticing. Didn't want to go to a corporate chain and figured we would try this place. Inside is spotless, really really well kept clean by the staff. Decor had a bunch of those 50's style funny sayings. Staff seemed really nice and helpful. The burgers are good. Good menu selection and prices are in line with most. Daughter had bacon bacon cheeseburger and I had an avocado burger. I can see why the locals visit this place.

    This is definitely a spot that I enjoy going to and bringing others too as well. This time around we went inside to order. I ultimately ended up getting their hamburger special, which includes fries and a drink. You can upgrade the fries though to onion rings or zucchini, if you'd like. Ultimately I wanted to showcase the photos of the menu. They have such a variety that sometimes you just don't have enough time to truly look through the whole menu. I will warn that the inside can be a bit smoky/foggy. Since they are grilling so much a lot of of that heat does not disperse out of the vents. I did not mind it, but I can tell that some people would.

    Chilli cheese fries
    John R.

    I ordered chili cheese fries and I took a picture of how it looks. I will never recommend this item. No flavor and hardly any cheese on my fries. Do better!

    This is an old school independent hamburger joint. It's been around for almost 40 years. This place is totally legit and is in the official rotation when we are driving through Riverside. I had the bacon cheeseburger which was amazing. The lady had the grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato. Very nice piece of chicken. It wasn't some sort of processed piece of crap. The onion rings are legit and the fries were delicious. This has a really nice patio that's covered by this huge Vine tree-like thing over the pergola. It's very relaxing. The place was pumping with drive-thru activity as well as people in the restaurant. They're the workers were very nice and helpful. Definitely give them a try

    Bacon was tough and we couldn't eat it . They did not put additional cheese tomatoes onions or avocado

    *WORST FOOD EXPERIENCE EVER. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE* RANCH DRESSING -disgusting and tasted like mayonnaise (YUCK) Ordered several breakfast burritos and added additional items to burrito (they were not added and we was still charged) Order was $70 dollars . EVERY SINGLE BURRITO HAD FATTY TOUGH INEDIBLE BACON IN THEM. It was pieces and chunks of bacon that reminded me of the grizzle of pot roast or pork shoulder of some sort. NOT BACON! We threw the whole order out. This place is owned and operated by Latino Americans however, they provide poor service to the locals in the community who are non-Latino. Which is unfortunate because my family who is white and black, live here and have tried to support them. Service is going down in quality and this was my last order with them ! I was charged for several add ons but they were not added abd I was given the worst of the protein. Just save your money and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I wish I could get my money back but we refused to go back and have to deal with the people there who clearly don't care. Quality and customer service was just not there .

    This is our go-to burger joint. I always order the turkey burger. It comes with a large tomato slice and plenty of crunchy iceberg lettuce. The burger patty was not dry and it was dressed with a tasty mayo spread. The service is fast and the staff is friendly.

    Oatmeal $8.69 not filled up to the top. It was just almost half full
    Mary M.

    The food used to be good here but recently they have increased their prices tremendously and doesn't match the portion sizes nor the quality. I ordered the oatmeal but it was $8.69and it didn't come with the fruit (sliced banana pieces, strawberries and blueberries) they used to give with it. I also ordered toast and that was $2.69. It was already hard by the time I got back home. The oatmeal wasn't even filled up to the top.

    Hair
    Ana V.

    Drive thru order. Half way through eating my sandwich I find a hair. Ordered French toast as well and they were not fully cooked. No time to go back, that's why people choose the drive through. $30 worth of food just for it to all be tossed.

    Parking is limited but they offer drive-thru it does take some time but I don't mind. Usually the wait is around 10-15 minutes. The service is always good. It's a pretty small restaurant more of pick and go. The food is great, I always order the chicken sandwich special with the zucchini fries and one order of the zucchini fries goes a long way. Combo is about $15-16 *prices subject to change* ranch usually comes with an order of zucchini fries and for an additional ranch is only $.69 :)

    Crispy Chicken Salad
    Teresa P.

    Ordered the crispy chicken salad. I think they cut up one chicken tender maybe. She said there was cucumber and egg. Only had cheese, tomatoes and croutons Completely dissatisfied and disappointed

It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers.

I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based.

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 want to give this place an honest review. This visit was for breakfast, and overall, it was…read moredecent. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette with a side of hash browns. The omelette was good enough, but I have to be completely honest about the hash browns they were very bland and lacked seasoning. The texture was fine, but I would suggest adding some seasoning during cooking. I think that small change could make them much more appealing to customers. One thing that confused me was the ordering process. When I placed my order in the drive-thru, the employee asked what style of eggs I wanted with my omelette. Since an omelette is already a specific style of egg preparation, I wasn't sure what she meant. Then, when I got to the window, I was asked whether I wanted pickles from a breakfast burrito and whether I wanted potatoes again. I'm not sure if there was some confusion with my order or if they were joking around, but I didn't make an issue out of it. Now that I've finished my breakfast, I'd rate it about a 6 out of 10. That said, I come here often, and there is one item that keeps me coming back: the zucchini. Their zucchini with ranch is an automatic 10 out of 10. In my opinion, it's probably the best thing on the menu, and I highly recommend trying it if you visit. Overall, the breakfast was okay, but the zucchini is definitely the star of the show. Enjoy at your own discretion.

    I used to love Lucky Greek until a few years ago when the food had gotten kind of "meh", and quite…read morepricey, so I stopped going. Today, I had a powerful craving for my old favorite - a hot roast beef sandwich with BBQ sauce and horseradish, and some onion rings so I decided to give Lucky Greek another chance. The total for the two items was nearly $25. The rings were pretty good, but the serving was enough for at least 4 people. I wish they would offer a lower priced half-order for single meals. The roast beef sandwich was a real disappointment. The meat was very fatty and had a lot of hard gristle. I pretty much had to take the sandwich apart and pull off the objectionable bits which were about 1/5 of the total weight of the meat. The meat flavor was bland and really needed all of the sauces. The bun was kind of smashed and gummy but held together. Sorry to say, but for me, Lucky Greek just isn't worth going to anymore.
