If you're in MoVal, stop sleeping on R&R! This Black-owned breakfast spot is serving SOUL on every plate. Wifey had the fried pork chops, greens, and mac & cheese--seasoned to PERFECTION! I had the fried catfish, grits, and eggs... absolutely AMAZING! The food was on point, the service was top-tier, and the vibe made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back! #SupportBlackOwned #MoValEats #RandR read more

Good. The grits and soup is good but a mince if spice. It comes in a large bowl. Very nice environment. read more

I drove to R&R from Los Angeles. Friday traffic wasn't too bad, and I met a relative to dine in at 1pm. There wasn't a wait so we got seated quickly. The restaurant was clean and vibrant, with outstanding customer service. The restrooms are gender-neutral The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered shrimp and grits with a piece of catfish. My guest ordered fried chicken with mac and cheese and a side of greens. It was worth the drive. We will definitely be back. 5/5 read more

R & R Breakfast Spot - Shrimp and grits / fried chicken with sides - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Okay, as I mentioned in my previous review, I intended to try more items from this place. So, today, I spent approximately $60, including the delivery fee. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I checked the box for extra crispy chicken, but it wasn't crispy at all. I also checked the box for condiments, but I didn't receive any butter, forks, or napkins. Fortunately, I had already bought some butter. I wasn't happy with the chicken or the waffles. The waffles had a spongy consistency that I couldn't quite put my finger on. The chicken was a mix of light crunch and somewhat soggy. Overall, I was quite unhappy with my meal. The grits and eggs were good, though. I think it's important to ensure that customers have everything they need to enjoy their meal, including utensils and condiments. It's disappointing when you spend a lot of money on food and don't receive what you expect. read more

2 stars for holidays, 4 starts for other days. Made a tactical error and went on Father's Day. Drove from Altadena. Waited 1 hour plus to sit and then over an hour for food that was not great. Usually the food is delicious and worth the wait. This was a big miss. They were over run and I'll prepared for the holiday. read more

The food was worth the little wait. I really enjoyed the seasoned fresh crunchy chicken wings and the macaroni side dish. I didn't care for the waffle sliders I like my waffles a little more firm with thinner piece of meat like a tender. However, the portion size of the slider was plentiful to share. Cajun grits with the fish were so flavorful I'd definitely try again. read more

This is our third time here, Food has always been good but service could improve, they take a very long time. My second mimosa never got to the table and when the server asked me about it I told her just to cancel it at that point and all she said was "okay" There was no effort to make things right knowing they bypassed our order. Did not feel right this time, don't know if we will be coming back. read more

Love the atmosphere and "Black Love" photos. Got the waffle and 3 wings. 2 of my wings were not very seasoned but the 3rd one was a bit more flavorful, not sure if they used a different batch of batter or seasoning dor the last one. The waffle tasted more healthy like a multigrain or wheat waffle, not like the crunchy/fluffy waffle I was craving. Also the meal was just one waffle cut into four pieces and dusted with powdered sugar. This meal was very expensive compared to the amount of food you would get in other chicken and waffle type restaurants in the area. I did like that they heat up the maple syrup and my server was very sweet. If I were to come back I wouldn't get the waffle but would possibly try another dish. read more

R&R has been one of my favorite spots since they were in Corona. Food is always seasoned and delicious. But I was highly disappointed in my last visit. My avocado toast was the most pathetic avo toast I had ever seen in my life. Avocado should have been the star of the meal, but instead was lacking. read more

There was shrimp and sausage in the grits too! And of course, I can't forget to praise that beautiful, delicious CATFISH laid across my spicy grits!!

It was a Thursday. It was super busy! Graduation season,I get it. It was our first time there. A woman with no smile hurriedly tapped the screen and told us it was a 30 minute wait then left, when the screen clearly stated 45- to one hour. I waited to ask what the correct wait time was. No one came back to the front. It was loud and chaotic. Still glad I didn't stay. read more

This place has a southern flavor to their food, the food smelt delicious so I went in. They had lemonades and teas in jar size glasses. The service was attendant very friendly. The ambiance was a little loud but fun. We ordered the following; Cajun shrimp and grits 1000/10 I couldn't get enough of the sauce that was in this. So good!! Ribeye with Mac and cheese and potatoes. The steak was very thin but flavorful. 9/10 The potatoes were ok, felt like it needed some seasoning 7/10 Mac n cheese was so good I wanted more. 10000/10 read more

I had breakfast at R&R a couple weeks ago and wanted to give them the props that they deserve. +1 and I arrived a little bit before 11AM on a Sunday and we were immediately seated. It wasn't too crowded although the parking lot was full by the time we left. Also, kind of funny, but R&R was so full to the point where I overheard a server tell a table that they ran out of cups and needed to use an alternative if they chose to order drinks. Staff was extremely hospitable as they frequently check on our table. Our server was Afrika, but we had other R&R staff checkin to see how we were doing. Now the food. The food was fantastic. I'm still thinking about the shrimp grits that I ordered. It was packed with flavorful spices and had so much shrimp and sausage. I'm not sure if this was a shareable, but the portion was so big that I happily took half home with me. My +1 ordered the biscuit and gravy special which he inhaled so quickly. Everything on his plate was delicious and the potatoes were crisp and amazingly seasoned. read more

This location opened about 1 month ago, October 2025. Their previous location apparently was in Chino, closer to me, but I had been unaware of its existance until now. So, we drove here all the way from Corona, just to experience what everyone has been salivating over. And now I understand why. For a relatively tiny cafe deeply embedded in the Inland Empire, they were doing a pretty brisk business for an otherwise unremarkable Monday morning. What a treat! Grits, waffles, biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, pork chops, po boys, catfish, mac n cheese...it kept getting better the more I read the menu. I was stumped as to what I should try for my first time around. But at last, I was able to commit. It had to be Wings. For my sides I "needed" the waffles, grits, and mac n cheese. And while seemingly priced high (over $20), it quickly became obvious why. Three full wings, plump, moist, and crispy (not just wing pieces), a full-sized waffle, a generous soup cup's worth of stellar white grits, and another soup cup of amazing mac n cheese. What an amazing meal it was! The waffle, a $3 upgrade instead of toast or biscuit, was a big surprise, tender, with a whisper of vanilla and cinnamon. So perfect, it really didn't need syrup. However, the tempting syrup came to our table in a tall bottle with pouring spout, nicely hot. Fried pork chop, 2 eggs, grits, waffles. The pork chops were center cut (they look like a bone-in ribeye), thick and superbly moist. The easy-over eggs were wonderfully runny. Mr B thanked me continuously for the entire drive home, for finding this little haven of real soul food, especially the pork chops. He is so hard to impress, just so you know. Coffee, very good, with frequent refills. While we didnt try any, they had a very interesting list of flavored lemonades, and better yet, an option for a flight to try them all. This is a modest, clean, happy spot. The staff are the friendliest people on the planet. Made us feel so welcome. Apparently they love military men, because Mr B was wearing his Navy hat and jacket and was getting hand shakes and thank you's by the workers. But after all, Moreno Valley is/was a military town. The interior was filled with inspiring signs, and family pictures, and family love was posted on the walls. Made for such a joyful, uplifting experience. Each table had been given its own name, aptly named after Ronda and Rodney's (the owners) grandchildren. The two of us sat at Davante's table. Need I say more? The menu is a tribute to real hometown southern cooking. I would not hesitate to try anything they offered. Better yet, there are 5 extra special dishes they offer for Sunday Brunch: Banana Foster pancakes, lobster/shrimp and grits, to name two. Glad we came. It was well worth the drive, and we each came home with a huge box of leftovers. Yes! Make time. Come here! read more

The food and service was greater than expected. The food took a little long but its understandable when its made to order fresh bottles pre- made or microwaved food. On the ride home after our meal we were discussing the experience and one of our kids said "the food had"... and paused, then we all said "soul". Definitely. Thry also made us feel welcomed to diversity as one as it dhould be and we need in this world. Humans supporting humans. The only reason for the 4 star was the bill, but we are honest when rating and are rooting for them to be successful enough for a bigger spot! This place was a must try and did not disappoint. read more

Decided to try this spot for an early morning breakfast. I walked in just after 8:00 am and was greeted immediately by two of the staff. I decided to try the chicken & waffle sliders. Solid, SOLID choice. The chicken was hot and juicy. The waffle was slightly crisp and sweet to the taste. Sam was an amazing server. He kept my coffee and water full throughout my visit. All of their staff is peppy and support one another when they work. I was in the restaurant industry for many years and it takes great leadership to help keep up the morale and environment of teamwork. Next time I will bring friends so I can try more of their amazing sounding dishes. I WILL be back. I wish R & R Breakfast Spot amazing success and welcome them to the Mo Val community. Cheers to all of your future endeavors!! read more

I came on a Sunday to a full parking lot (they have plenty of parking spaces) and they had an hour wait. Then Monday lunch time has a wait too! Love this for this family business! They seem to know lots of people's names! I heard lots of "see you later Mr so and so" The music is great. Pro's - real food, family recipes, warm friendly staff, flavored creamer, Louisiana style hot sauce on the table, real butter (thank goodness), finely ground pepper, grits bowls are good! - it had lots of meats chicken and sausage and 2 shrimps. Loved the green onions on it too! Con's - hours are limited. I get it - it's a soul food breakfast but they could make lunch and maybe even dinner and we wouldn't be mad at it. It's a bit expensive. A side of pork chop is the same as a side of breakfast potatoes - Ug and the potatoes side is small for $6.44. Breakfast should come with 3 sides not 2 - toast and eggs and potatoes should come on a steak breakfast plate. It quickly becomes $30 -$40 for breakfast. I bet every plate orders a side because of normal breakfast plate expectations. I wish they offer some value priced of specials. I would eat here more often if cost wasn't such an issue. This a an old building without insulation so it is a bit loud. They have hard seats. Sometimes food comes out before you get silverware. They should bring when you order your drinks. I ordered coffee and creamer and then had no spoon. I heard others asking for silverware. Hack's - get extra butter for anything that you order - I would add it to coffee if I could- lol! Get hot water with honey as a drink. read more

My wife had told me about R & R when she found it was at the old location of Chicago Pizza House. We had been there many years ago. We decided to go on Valentine's Day for a late brunch. We were rushing because we knew they closed at 3 pm, and it was already after 2 when we arrived. The parking lot was full, and we thought the 3 of us would have to order takeout because there would be no seating for us. But when we walked in, they had everything arranged so that there was plenty of seating. The place was almost full, but they were still able to seat us quickly. They had some nice music in the background and the TV next to us was showing some football game. There was a bar, and we were told that today was the first day they were serving alcohol. All the employees seemed to be very friendly. The menu had many breakfast and lunch options, with catfish, shrimp, and grits in many of the dishes. Our server was Sam and helped us choose from the menu. We ordered Spicy Shrimp and Grits, Cajun Alfredo and Grits, and a shrimp po'boy. We were offered mimosas, but my wife and son ordered house lemonades. I had the po'boy and it was good & flavorful; the shrimp inside was lightly breaded & tender and the remoulade was tasty. A recent trip to NOLA spoiled me a bit and set a very high standard, but it was still a good reminder of how enjoyable a po'boy can be. I tried my wife's Spicy Shrimp and Grits and this was great, and I regretted not ordering that myself. She thoroughly enjoyed it and was able to make two meals from it. My son was happy with his Cajun Alfredo dish and was also able to make two meals from it. My wife was already making plans for a future visit and I will happily join her. I have my eyes on the shrimp catfish grits dish for my next trip and maybe I will also order one of their mimosas. read more

We got in quickly with little wait on a Sunday. The atmosphere was nice and it's a cute place. The waitstaff was nice and service was good.

This is the worst customer service I have received at a restaurant in the last 10 years. Not only did the food never arrive. They had the nerve to get an attitude and charge me for an orange juice even after that we had sat there for 45 minutes. Why they are certainly entitled to be paid for the orange juice. I thought they'd have enough class to decline my offer to pay in recompense for never delivering the food when they said it was almost going to arrive at the table. I do not recommend this restaurant for customer service. I have no idea what the food taste like. read more

I joined my brother and sister for lunch at R and R Breakfast Spot in Moreno Valley, a recommendation that came courtesy of a segment featured on ABC Eye Witness News with Rachel Brown. Having driven 1 hour and 10 minutes from Carson, I can attest that the restaurant was well worth the trip. The pleasure of their company further enhanced the experience. If you're traveling through Moreno Valley or en route to Palm Springs, I highly recommend stopping here for a delicious meal and superior service. read more

We had gone to the location in Chino and really enjoyed ourselves so we were ecstatic that a closer location was opened. On this trip, we went on Sunday for a late brunch. Don't trust the app. It will show that there's zero time on the waitlist, but when we got there, we were told that the wait would be 45 minutes. The lemonades were pricey, but tasty and a good size. The service was pretty slow and discombobulated. My husband and daughter received their entrées and mine had not come yet. It was another 15-20 minutes before my dish came out and they just about finished eating. The table next to us who came 15 minutes after had their food and was eating before my food came out and the gentleman and I had the same dish. It kind of felt like an act of Congress to get a refill on the waters as no one stopped by to check on us. The hot sauces at the table were empty. That being said, the food was good. I enjoyed the catfish and my husband thought his lobster and grits was a 5/5. The mac & cheese was mid and the fried chicken was kind of bland. I liked the greens. It's pretty small inside, probably about 12 tables. Pro tip: Join the waitlist on Yelp. You'll save yourself some frustration by at least already having your name on the list. It's too small to wait inside on the weekends so you end up just kind of sitting in your car waiting for the text message. read more

I love Cajun food, and these guys do it right. It's kinda of a "hole-in-the-wall", and all the employees look like they could be from Louisiana. Very friendly staff, and great food. I've gone there twice now, and will go again the next time I'm in that area. read more

This place is absolutely amazing and fantastic. The customer service was absolutely fabulous. The food was home-cooked and you could taste the flavor in every bite. anyone that gives this place a bad review. I tell you shame on you.!!!! You were just not having a good day. I promise !!!!! These are some of the most wholesome people that I have ever met in California!!! THE chicken wasn't overcooked or undercooked. IT WAS JUST RIGHT!!!! The greens weren't salty. The waffles were like Roscoes, but it had its own sweet flavor. You didn't even need syrup. The French toast was amazing when I tell you they didn't sprinkle cinnamon in it. It was in the dipping sauce of the egg wash you could taste every ingredient like I almost wanted to go look in the back and see if they had at least five Grandma's tied up lol!!! absolutely amazing.

Truthfully in my opinion I feel this place is overhyped just because it's black owned. Which I never have a problem supporting my people, but honestly the food is mediocre & the ambiance could be a whole lot nicer & aesthetically pleasing especially considering the prices. I asked for my chicken well done extra crispy & I received the exact opposite. The macaroni was mid you can tell they use eggs or something in it. Lastly, the waffles I got were so soft & soggy I should've just got pancakes because the texture was the exact same. The only kinda good thing was the lemonade. The service was okay. There was definitely a wait. I don't think it's worth it. I won't eat here again. read more

Location was easy to find, right off Sunnymead Blvd. I went on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was easy to find. Wait time quoted 2 hours, was accurate. I ordered 2 catfish and waffles, shrimp and grits, 2 macaroni a d cheese, 2 lemonade and potatoes. All in all inaddition to tip, easily spent $$$. Food taste good enough to where I'd like to try it without the issues of power loss, service ticket back up. I would say my favorite item was the shrimp and grits. Atmosphere was busy. I saw a couple servers, busy. Again, I would have to try again without issues to see if the long wait changes, busy servers are nice and If my time is valued. Would recommend due to easy process of ordering. read more
