    First time at Rodeo cafe. The food was spectacular , quality ingredients. I love that they give you a toasted jalapeno pepper, yummy!! The customer service was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly. The place is so cute inside, nice ambiance. I will definitely go again. I found a new breakfast spot. Thank you

    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.

    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.

    This is the cowboy coffee  so delicious does include alcohol can't wait to come back and try the michelada

    The food was the bomb The vibe and service was spectacular! Come here on a game night and watch the games loved everything

    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.

    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!

    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

    This is our favorite spot in Riverside, everything we've tried has held up to it's reviews by…read moreemployee recommendations. The pub burger deserves the MOST praise! The craft beer flight is a must here as they rotate them out weekly. The service is always great, every time we come in we get friendly smiles and helpful menu suggestions. The atmosphere is relaxing especially their outside dining area. They always have events so check their calendar!

    Everything about this place is a green flag!…read more Food: Quality is top tier. Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us? We were literally in the very center of the half booths lol. Eventually the male server came by and apologied for the wait and was very very attentive to us for the remainder of the time:) alsooooo the taco at The State Redlands are slightly bigger than these so i beleive the Redlands ones are more filling.

I ordered the Bourbon BBQ burger, no complaints, I'd give it a 9/10. The beef was juicy, flavorful tempura onion rings, and generous BBQ sauce. Fries were decent, and plentiful. There was so much food, I had to box up half to eat the next day. Extra thank you to the wonderful staff and accommodating our needs at the last minute.
