I can't get enough of Monty's!…read more We need one of these closer to Corona/ Murrieta etc. Spread them throughout the Inland Empire please! We need more Monty's locations! 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. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks.

Fries and tots were decent. Would love to come back to try the dog and chicken sandwich. Service was quick. They had a good amount of counter seating but it was pretty busy. 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'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.

Stopped by Urban Skillet in Riverside for brunch and overall had a good experience, mainly because…read moreof the food. 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

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.

She's not a picky eater it's just something that she can't eat it's a food allergy situation that could become a very serious situation. So anybody with a food allergy, sadly this isn't a place you should come too. I would strongly advise you going to another restaurant instead. Cashier was so rude about it that we decided to leave and eat right down the street at another restaurant where they gladly substituted the eggs for my wife. I hope they realize that certain people can't eat certain types of food and that shouldn't prevent them for ordering the food that they can actually eat.

Classic California food: burgers, sandwiches, burritos, and breakfast. You name it and George's…read moreprobably has it. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Situated in a seedy corner lot on Magnolia and Harrison, don't let the semi-dilapidated surroundings fool you; this place is no joke. Try not to let your guard down while you are eating truly the best burger you can get in Riverside. The price is fair, but can add up quick as refills are not self serve or free and additional sauces (beyond ketchup and similar condiments) are not complimentary. Ranch is just shy of a dollar at .90¢. As much as I loathe paying extra for sauces, the amount of fries they give you seems to justify the upcharge, but, in my opinion, they should charge for EXTRA sauces and maybe include one with a combo. Seems nitpicky but those who need ranch with their fries can sympathize. Their breakfast special is fine, and you very much get what you pay for price and food wise. Again, start adding sides and the price becomes reminiscent of non-fast food sit down diner prices and, to me, that is not justifiable here. As far as other things on the menu, I cannot vouch for the wildly popular breakfast burritos but they were being ordered nonstop while I was visiting. I have tried the pastrami but it was very salty; but that's the nature of the game. With a menu like this, you are bound to hit a roadblock at some point. Just come back and try again. All that being said, this place really is quality and gives a quantity that you don't really see very often. My personal suggestion would be to get a chocolate milkshake with the burger combo, that's what really makes this place a 5/5. You won't regret it. Those in the know, know about George's. Try to be in the know.

For what you pay, just go to Brandon's Diner for real service and flavor. Food is decent when fresh…read moreand not something sitting that was previously cooked. Just don't go when the "owner" (old white guy with glasses) is cooking because apparently since he is incapable of folding a breakfast burrito with eggs overeasy he won't do it. A ten year old can do it but it's too messy for the owner and he refuses. Any other day it's never been a problem for the other real cooks. Imagine being a restaurant owner that serves half Mexican food and American and you can't fold a burrito because the eggs are overeasy? If you are incapable, stay out the kitchen and stick to running the back end. The cooks probably despise when he shows up to "help" as he slows everybody down with the pace of a turtle. But he's the owner and it's his restaurant so screw the customer, no exceptions. It was a simple request but I guess he doesn't need the business and he won't lose any sleep over it.

I ended…read moreup trying the veggie plate that comes with two sides of choice (mac n cheese and roasted cauliflower) and a veggie empanada. If you are a raw vegetarian or vegan this plate might be great for you but I feel that it lacked substance. There was definitely something missing. Everything was just okay. Not good, not bad, but also not really worth the hype. I'm giving 4 stars because everything else was amazing! I like the inside/outside seating and how attentive the workers are. The music they played had me grooving. I wouldn't go here on my own but it's nice to come with friends and get a snack.

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.

If you searched for a definition on Hole in the wall Star Burger would show up…read more But it's often these places that just perform a no frill service you need when time is a problem. Star Burger is located in a mixed use office complex just south of the Riverside Airport. When you enter the location don't expect a lot going on. It's not a typical sit down where you would take a friend or have a meeting. They cater from what I could see is local employees of various companies that are looking for a quick tasty lunch. The menu is mixed with American, Hispanic, and Asian foods. So you have plenty to choose from. I ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger and it was..... Good. I got nothing great to say about it but it wasn't bad. I'd have given the location 5 stars but the interior could use some TLC. Eh but that's just me. Give them a try. I'll def go back again.

Thompson Brewing Co…read more I tried the boozy slushies and margarita soft serve flight & it did not disappoint! The Guava Splash and Strawberry Lemonade Splash were incredibly refreshing. The perfect adult slushies! Sweet, icy, and topped with candy ... honestly, what more could you ask for? For the Tropical flight, I tried: Mango Whip Citrus Whip Pink Sunset Guava Mangonada Strawberry Lemonade And if you can't decide between a soft serve or a slushie, guess what? You can have both! I tried the Lime Spicy Fusion, which features lime soft serve ‍, strawberry slushie , a Tajín rim, and Tajín sprinkled on top . This was truly the best of both worlds: spicy, tangy, sweet, and incredibly refreshing! Every flavor was on point! Sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The Spicy Fusion and Mangonada brought the perfect kick of spice while still being deliciously smooth. Who doesn't love boozy soft serve on a warm summer day? I also love that they're always rotating flavors and introducing new creations, so there's always something new to try! Definitely keep an eye out for upcoming flavors. Brisket SandwichThe soft brioche bun paired perfectly with the super tender brisket. One thing I really appreciated was that the sauce came on the side instead of being mixed into the meat. This lets you customize every bite and add as much or as little sauce as you want. Pork QuesadillaWho doesn't love cheese and meat together? The pork quesadilla was loaded with Monterey cheese and served with green salsa and sour cream on the side. The green salsa was absolutely delicious , and the sour cream helped balance out the spice perfectly. Every bite was cheesy, flavorful, and satisfying! FriesFries are always a must for me! These came out hot and fresh with a light crisp on the outside, which is exactly how I like them. HOT MESS FriesThese are an absolute MUST-ORDER! Loaded with maple chipotle sauce, house made ranch, and smoked bacon, every bite was packed with flavor. The combination of sweet, smoky, and savory worked so well together, and the sauces were delicious. Everything was perfectly seasoned and came together beautifully. Mac & CheeseAs a cheese lover, I definitely enjoyed this! The mac & cheese had great flavor, was creamy and comforting, and I loved the noodles they used. It was the perfect cheesy side dish. Homemade SaucesOne thing that really stood out to me was that all of their sauces are made in-house, and you can definitely tell! The flavors are unique, fresh, and packed with personality. Instead of tasting generic, each sauce had its own distinct flavor profile that elevated the food even more. Their sauce lineup includes: Creamy Jalapeño Tangy BBQ Cheese Sauce Ranch Thousand Island Garlic Maple Chipotle Creamy White BBQ Spicy Ranch The Maple Chipotle was a standout for me on the HOT MESS Fries, but honestly, I'd love to come back and try the rest! Overall: Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. From the tender brisket sandwich to the cheesy quesadilla, crispy fries, loaded HOT MESS fries, creamy mac & cheese, and their incredible homemade sauces, this meal delivered on every level. If you're a sauce lover like me, you'll definitely appreciate the extra attention they put into every flavor. Would absolutely order again! The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends, enjoying good drinks and good food . Plus, the staff is fun, friendly, and makes the experience even better. Highly recommend checking them out!
