Been here a FEW times. One of my current go to's for a huge, solid breakfast. Greasy spoon action with a country flair. TV's on walls, bar top, and high tops, low tops, and booths. Staff is very friendly and attentive, no complaints here. Menu has something for everyone. Dishes are well above average, you won't leave unsatisfied. read more

This place is a very popular spot and I can can see why. From the minute you open the door, your hit with the most amazing smell of food and greeted with friendly staff. We were told it would be a 10-20 minute wait, it ended up being 8 min before we were seated. Tables were clean and as we walked past others eating, my game plan kept changing. Every table had a dish I knew I needed to try. We were a party of 4, and I hoped all of us ordered something different so I could grab a taste. Ended up with Chlliquilles, verde, with a rare ribeye. It came with choice of house potatoes or hash browns , and beans. I did not expect to much for my steak, it's a breakfast cafe, they might get it close like a med, but I never get my rare. I WAS WRONG... IT WAS PERFECT!!! It had a char, like it was cooked over fire, it was so tender and juicy, and as a nice size cut. It was the most amazing steak I have had in a long time, and way better than even Flemings (they can't get their steaks right anymore). The chips tasted homemade and their chili verde sauce had pieces of meat in it (special little surprises in it). I do wish the sauce had a little more seasoning nd a kick, but they mixed it perfectly where my chips were still crispy, I still wanted more, and they gave it to me. Beans were ok, and the hash browns could have been served a hotter. Eggs were cooked perfectly so my over easy still had runny yolk, that could blend into my sauce. Husband had waffles extra crispy, and they were lightly crispy but very flavorful. He also had the chicken fried steak. The meat was tender and had a good crisp. It was seasoned very well. The gravy had solidified, so that was a little disappointing. The flavor again, could have had a little more kick, but overall he enjoyed it and would get it again. Our friends had the menudo, which he said was outstanding. The bowl is large, so get it to share if your also ordering food. It had a great kick! And the tripe, was tender and cooked to perfection. They also had the Chilliquilles verde and enjoyed it. Steaks cooked to perfection as well. We will definitely be back, and we have a list of items we want to try, thank you for amazing service and good food! read more

Food was great! We both had menudo today. It was cooked just right, not too spicey. They give you all the fixings to add. Menudo was clean. Loved it.. Service was excellent. I love this Rodeo Cafe better than the one in Colton. It was worth the drive. We will be back. read more

First time here. Great place to eat, great menu choices. There is a lot of room for seating and parties. Cowboy theme, hence the name. Parking is scarce and directional. Our server was very helpful for our large party and in separating our bill. read more

My menudo craving has been satisfied! We came to Rodeo Cafe on Sunday morning, specifically because I wanted menudo and the photos here looked good. Five us arrived around 8 am and were seated quickly. Service was good the entire time we were there with frequent checks on our coffee refills. Everyone liked their food: chicken fried steak with gravy and scrambled eggs, country platter with biscuits and gravy and eggs and sausage, a strawberry waffle combo and strawberry French toast combo - although that daughter meant to get a waffle not French toast. It was good though. The waffle was large and fluffy, Belgian style. The rodeo potatoes were especially good. One of my girls didn't care for the coffee but I thought it was fine. My husband's breakfast came with a pancake and I also liked that. I almost knocked off a star for the country music that played the whole time. Country music literally hurts my ears. But it wasn't loud so I didn't. Would definitely recommend and come back again. read more

The one star is for the customer service not the food. The food is great. My issue is with a specific server on 2 separate occasions. She never smiles and she's not very personable. My first experience with her began with me ordering the rodeo meal which comes with a New York steak. Well, I received my food and it arrived with a ribeye. I informed her I ordered a New York and she insisted it was a New York. She took my plate to the back to supposedly ask her manager and they confirmed it was a New York. I eat steaks all day. I get ribeyes at Texas Roadhouse. This was a wide, flat, fatty ribeye. I let it go and ate it anyways. Fast forward to today, and just my luck. I get the grumpy girl again. Still not very polite. Service could be better here. Take notes from the Corona location! read more

Our family reserved an area before we came for a visit. We looked for a local spot because we were going to be at the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery. Coffee was meh, kind of watery for my liking (others might enjoy it! so i guess you would have to try it yourself) Food was pretty great. I ordered their Chili Rojo Omelette and my husband ordered the pancakes, both of us enjoyed our plates. It's not often i can finish a big plate and today i did! A friend of our ordered their chilequilles and they looked so good!! The service was quick for as big as our party was (30 of us) they were attentive to the tables and friendly. They were on top of refills for everyone. Loved the country feel of the place! Prices weren't bad for the portions. read more

Great food I go for the steak and eggs and enjoy the salsa they bring with it. The waiters are always friendly and nice.

I have to say this is one of my favorite breakfast brunch places in Riverside. Every time my girls & I travel this is the spot we stop before we start our adventure. Customer service is great. Friendly, attentive and fast. It's a place to go with your family. The size & ambience is definitely worth it. Highly recommend it. read more

I've tried lunch carry out three times ordering different menu items. ALL were awful, roast beef dip was very dry and tough. Turkey melt was lunch meat with uncooked bacon and green tomatoes. Patty melt was dry like a frozen burger, raw uncooked onions, ordered on sour dough and got seeded rye. I wouldn't go back for lunch or anything after wasting my money x 3. Hopefully the breakfast items are better! read more

This place was so good!! I called the Norco location and wanted to know if they serve bloody Mary's the gal that answered said not at this location but she named Temecula, and Riverside. Since we were headed to Riverside we decided to go have breakfast at Rodeo Cafe in Riverside. Absolutely delightful... everything from the atmosphere... service .... Food.... Bloody Marys... all of it was so good. I definitely recommend having breakfast here if you're passing through or in the area!!! read more

At first everything was okay but the salad we got had tomatoes with mold on all of them, they apologized, changed it and didn't charge us for it but it's still bad. Sunny side up eggs were too undercooked even on the egg white but we also should have told them to cook them extra. Everything else was good. read more

Rodeo staff is always very friendly. They have a pretty good breakfast election. Our recommendation would be the ribeye.

Great food and service in a simple and clean environment. One of the better breakfasts I've ever had. Will definitely be back.

Awesome food and great service I had multiple selections of food for breakfast and lunch and totally satisfied with the speed with food for served and the pleasant personalities of the staff. read more

It's a bit of a letdown, but not because of the food--that part is incredible. Everything I've tried has been spot-on. The open-air setup is spacious, making it great for big groups. Service is quick, and the staff have just the right mix of sass and efficiency. The bar is big, lined with TVs, and they serve both breakfast and lunch, which are always solid. It's fun, lively, and everything runs smoothly. Honestly, it checks almost every box. I guess I just expected a rodeo lol. 5 stars! read more

A neighbor asked me to try this restaurant because it came highly recommended by his friend. I was told it's the same owner of 1909 by one of the other businesses across the street. The fries were really greasy, like the oil was cold when the fries went in and had stayed in the oil to long. Not much beef go a beef dip and I don't like to have go take food out of my mouth because I can't chew with the grizzle. I understand it was a soft opening, but I'm not usually willing to go back. We loved Luke the host! Although my friend liked the chef salad read more

Showed up here at 7:30am on friday morning with a friend and I gotta say this establishment is a 10/10. I highly recommend the salsa Verde omelet plate, since thats exactly what I went with. In addition to my order, I placed a side order of (2) hot links which were excellent and had the perfect *snap* to them. The waiter was very attentive and kept the coffee regularly filled! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Food is excellent, good value. The staff is amazing and super friendly. They do get busy on weekends.

Ok, best Mexican food here! The chilaquiles with green sauce and the Ribeye steak and eggs are amazing! The service is friendly and food is always fresh and hot when served. So many other dish options too! BUT!! The fried pancake?? O.M.G. It's my favorite and I make sure to get it as my dessert. So delicious!! Try it. read more

Stopped in on a Wednesday around noon, and while the environment itself was great--clean, comfortable, and not busy at all--the service didn't quite match the vibe. Staff wasn't very attentive despite the slow hour, which was disappointing. I ordered the Rodeo Meal, which comes with steak, eggs, potatoes, and a side of pancakes (which is interchangeable). The portion was definitely filling, but the overall taste was pretty average. For the price--about $37 after tax and a drink (before tip)--it just didn't feel worth it. Not a terrible experience, but definitely not the value or quality I expected for the cost. read more

I cant stop raving about this place to friends and family and ever since we discovered it we have been back almost every week. I love their rodeo potatoes it is so flavorful. I always get the country fried steak. It is so crispy and the gravy it comes with complimented the steak. The staff are all nice and very attentive. Def must try read more

Great place for eats! Service was friendly, quick to respond, seated quickly. Food was great. Everything clean and cared for. Family environment without the noise. Will definitely return. read more

We used to go here when it was Dorry's so we were excited to see what's changed. Overall it was pretty good when we visited for a weekday breakfast. The chicken fried steak was super good, decent eggs, and kind of dry biscuit BUT the gravy saved everything. He got a Belgian waffle with the usual side options. The only reason this wasn't a higher rating is the music - it was 8am and it was blasting! Like people near us were just as put off by it and, if you get seated under a speaker like we did, you won't be able to hold a conversation. But I would like to try again for lunch/dinner as the options look great and the bar looked stocked. read more

Tried this place on a whim. Service was good, the place was clean and the food was amazing. The servings are huge. I couldn't even make a dent in my chilaquiles! The tortillas were still crispy, the eggs were perfect and those beans are amazing!

This location is great! We were seated very fast and all the staff were friendly and made sure to acknowledge us and ask what we need. We got the chilequiles plate (my favorite), they explained the dish and ask how we would like our eggs. When we received the food it was fresh, flavorful, and the chips crispy! Loved the salsa they provide on the side. It was an awesome breakfast and made us full! Please support this spot, small business and the staff tries their best. read more

Me my wife and I came here on a Saturday morning. It was busy but not packed, the staff was super friendly from the second you walk in and everything was clean, nothing was sticky (usually there's syrup somewhere on the table from a breakfast place ). The menu had lots of good choices but I opted for the huevos rancheros and my wife got the chile verde omelette. The chile verde was delicious, tender and not too spicy. Each plate came with a toreado on the side, mine was super spicy hers was not. The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering and my eggs were cooked perfectly. No complaints. Definitely will come back if in the area again. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! The service was quick and friendly. My husband ordered the green chilaquiles. Having never tasted them before, he really enjoyed the flavor and the crispiness of the tortilla chips! His only request was for there to be more meat. I had the bacon and cheese omelette and added avocado. The potatoes were seasoned so good! Love the salsa and the roasted pepper! Definitely want to come again!!! read more

We went for breakfast and by the end of the meal agreed we would come again. We went pretty early and noticed a line as it got busier but the crowd was getting seated pretty quickly. It has an open floor plan so it got a bit more loud by the time we were leaving. It was a solid breakfast and we left full. The rodeo potatoes were savory and had the perfect crunch and seasoning. The pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage combo plate was a reliable and filling choice. The menudo came with sides so you can flavor it how you prefer and we opted to add the pata (pigs foot) which made it very flavorful. The tortillas tasted fresh. The coffee was strong and consistently refilled by the helpful and pleasant waitstaff. A good overall Sunday morning breakfast option. read more

Food was good ! The house potatoes were the best! Eggs Benedict were great as well. Personally way better than ihops! Too much sauce is my opinion and a little thick. Hubby had the huevos rancheros he said they were good! Service: was about a 3.9 out of 5 Nothing over the top but good. Ambiance : I was surprised ! It was actually nice inside. I thought it was going to be just a cafe. But it was nice inside read more

I have to say, I love coming here for breakfast more than anywhere else in the I.E. - though I don't usually visit this specific location since it's a bit out of the way, but I happened to be nearby. If you're familiar with Rodeo Café, you probably know the iconic house-style spot on Etiwanda! Fortunately, they've opened several new locations in the area. The machaca is absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor, and while the pancakes are standard, definitely try a Mexican dish because it's truly exceptional! read more

The food was excellent and every time we come the food is great. But they now charge for salsa and if you ordered Mexican food, they give you a little cup of it. Not enough to really enjoy it. And they only have one type. Really, you need a hot and mild and forget the charging. Or raise price by 5cents in order to enjoy it without paying. If it was up to my wife, I would have spent $10 extra. Only cause the small cup they come in isn't filled all the way, only half way. The people are very nice. read more
