I LOVE this place! First time there today. I just moved to Norco a month ago and rode my horse there and was able to keep an eye on him the whole time! The server was awesome and so attentive. I think her name was Aly. Great service! Delicious food! I will be back tomorrow! read more

Visited for the first time on a Sunday for late lunch/early dinner. Fun place with a cool small town vibe. Our table ordered a variety of food from burgers to steak and chicken; all very good and served hot from the kitchen in a timely manner. Our server was Keonni. She was awesome! Friendly and attentive, always checking on us. The best part was she smiled at every interaction - seems like she enjoyed looking after us. Had to deduct 1 star for food availability. The people with me that ordered the steak and chicken wanted backed potato, but they didn't have any ready. I ordered a Black and Bleu Burger, but after ordering was told they were out of bleu cheese crumbles. I know there was also a salad that came with bleu cheese, so that would have been off the menu, too. Not the end of the world, as the Sixth Street Burger with mushrooms and avocado was tasty. read more

Unreal, delicious Western Burger. Great environment, and friendly crowd. A must visit for all hamburger fans.

Very dirty and disgusting place. Tables don't get wiped clean, windows have smeared spit and nasty hand prints all over, floor hasn't been cleaned up in years, bathrooms are filthy and out of soap and paper.... AND HAIR IN THE FOOD!!!! Black hair was found in our appetizer and we don't have black hair!!!! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!!! It needs to be shut down!!!!! read more

Came for lunch today. Very pleased with the menu, the service and the food. Right in the middle of horse country. Horses and riders passing as we ate. read more

We got here at 1:50. It's now 3:40... and we just got our food. This is ridiculous... We came for lunch but we're actually getting dinner. Every time we ask where our food is they said it's coming soon. The server was nice but that is not the way to run a restaurant. read more

Buyer be ware. Do not go here! Rude staff!!!! Waited an hour and half for two burgers that never arrived.... Check out the other reviews they are food poisoning people. They need to be closed down by the health department!!!!! read more

Best little place in Norco...ol part of Norco!! Love the atmosphere and the food is plenty fillin! Get a lot for your buck!

Love this place! Food is great and service is awesome! Aly was the best!! She made our experience amazing!

A buddy took me here for the first time the other day & it's a damn good place. Great environment & food w/cold beer on tap. Most of all though, Kudos to the owner for taking a stand during these trying times. read more

I love this bar one of my favorites ones in norco! I've been here a couple times and each time was really good. If you don't know about the avocado tacos they are fabulous and you should try them. All the workers are nice pleasant and attentive and it's a great atmosphere. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I was driving down 15, craving a steak from someplace that wasn't a crappy chain, and this came up on my Yelp map. I'd never driven through downtown Norco before, that was probably the most interesting part. The staff seemed rushed. The other patrons weren't outright hostile, but they did seem like a very local crowd. The place is an above-average dive bar and grill. I had the rib eye, which tasted okay but wasn't anything all that special, and it wasn't cheap. The horseradish was nice and hot. I make a better rib eye on the grill at home. Not sure what they could do to improve. I probably just had expectations too high. I kind of wish I had just gone to Outback. read more

Always enjoy the food here. Come for taco Tuesday's all the time. Regulär menu is good as well. Cool atmosphere to enjoy a beer as well

I went for lunch and had the fish and chips. One piece of fish was quite good but the rest mushy. Took fish out and ate that and the french fries. Woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible stomach ache. It's 4 in afternoon and it feel like my lower intestines were ripped out. I believe that was food poisoning at its finest. I'm still in such horrible pain but it has subsided a bit. Almost went to ER last night. Waitress was nice. read more

Came here about 2 weeks ago with a few friends. They all live in Riverside County while little old me lives in Orange County. :P This place was in the middle from my friends and I to meet up. Plus, one of my friends has been coming here for years since after college. Love this place. It has the old saloon bar/restaurant feel to it. When coming here, there is a little area to park your real horse , which was pretty neat. Small parking. But, good for me and my friends on a Saturday night since the place wasn't that packed. Don't know why on a Saturday night. There is a little area in the front for line dancing or any other dancing throughout the night. They play from old country music to the most recent. They also play some of the pop songs too from old to new like MC Hammer, Micheal Jackson, to Bruno Mars and Carry Underwood and Maranda Lambert. They have pool tables too. The service was good. We were not in a hurry to go and we had fun. I did realized that the waitress did come by once in awhile to check on us if we needed anything. The bar hostess was attentive also. She poured drinks as quickly as possible for everyone as possible. The food and drinks were good. The menu is simple with a few burgers, steaks, tacos, and fries. I had the rib eye steak, with bake potato and veggies. Don't expect the high end steaks like some places; but, it's not bad. I also shared beer battered avocado tacos and fries(I forgot what it was called but it had cheese, bacon, and some fixings on top of it). Love the tacos. Hopefully I could come back to try their other tacos. All in all, good food, drinks, music, and dancing with friends is all the better on a Saturday night. :) read more

Pleasantly surprised by this establishment. We went for a hike at Pumpkin Rock and drove by saw some horses hanging out and decided to turn around and get a little (well earned) drink.. this place was Such a cool spot County vibe. Customer service on point and food is delicious.. I had a side/ house salad damn tasty!! We had appetizers and were very good. We have Plans to do an early hike and go there for breakfast. Hospitality much appreciated! read more

Saturday night empty tables. Kitchens backed up wait outside. I thought this was a bar?

Great food!! We eat here or get take out from here at least once a week!! Great place to hang out, drink a beer and catch a game too.

My friends and I were super excited that Saddle Sore has re-opened after shutting down due to the COVID-19. This place continues to have great drinks, and the bar food hits the spot every time no matter what I've ordered. Service is always top-notch, even if the place is packed on a weekend. They also do Friday karaoke nights!! read more

Long ride on iron horses through Elsinor, Perris, Lake Mathews when the hunger and thirst hit. A rider in our group said this is the place to go. This IS the place to go. Every other stop we were the crowd, here we were part of the crowd. A good sign. 12 of us ordered drinks and they came right out, nice and cold. Our server, Christie? took our orders and we found out she was the only one there and probably over 40 customers in the bar. Server, bartender, dishwasher and maybe even cook? We thought, great, going to be an hour to get food... Nope. Not much longer than it takes to cook a burger and the food was there. Hot and really pretty good. OK, service was the bomb thanks to her. Food was way above average for an "eatery". Most everybody ordered something different, everyone was satisfied. I found myself almost complaining there was too much avocado and mushrooms on my burger, dumb brain. It was all good. From parking our iron horses next to the real ones, the western atmosphere, pool tables, cold drinks and good food. Looks like the night life there would be kick ass. Another time... read more

Absolutely doing the best they can to navigate through Covid and keep their patrons happy! Food remains excellent as well as service is second to none! read more

This is a nice bar in the city of Norco. I was able to step away from work early and come here. Everyone was very welcoming even considering I was wearing a suit and tie as I came from the office. Their appetizers were amazing and on point. The price point is right where it should be. There are a few pool tables to play pool at. They have a stage for karaoke as well as for live music. You can ride your horse there and tie it up outside. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely go back and enjoy a karaoke session there. read more

We came here between soccer games down the road early on a Saturday morning - because it was open and served beer. Good tap selection and decent, bar atmosphere that wasn't too inappropriate for the young girls on the team, although they got a kick out of a few of the regulars who were starting their day off here. Food and service was ok but I was surprised that they wouldn't make a salad for the girls until 11 am because "that's when lunch started." Some got breakfast and some waited the 40 minutes to order. If they had been more accommodating, we would've returned with 15 - 20 people on Sunday. Luckily there are more options open at 10 am on Sunday so we found a real good place just north of the fields. We might be back with the team on an early Saturday if it works out that way but if we've got other options, we'll check them out first. read more

Went yesterday afternoon for the first time and the food was delicious! I liked the service and also how they had a lady singing nice songs

Not enough parking. We couldn't even get in to the place. Some grumpy guy yelled at us thinking we were trying to steal a parking place from him. We never made it back and won't even try. read more
