    Clubs sandwich with turkey. Was absolutely delicious and they used real turkey not deli slices.

    This is my new favorite place to get lunch. Every soup I've tried has been amazing. The staff are so kind and the shop is cute.

    I am a self proclaimed diner discovery dude. Let's chill out people, I do not take myself that seriously, lol. It was around lunchtime, and I happen to be in the area and found this place. Looked very unassuming from the outside, matter of fact, thought it was just a small soup place. They are located in what appears to be a circa 1960s strip mall, but a well kept one. Now, let's get to the freaking food review! Since their namesake includes the word soup, they were not kidding! I dropped by on a Tuesday and they had quite a few choices on the board. I chose their mushroom and wild rice soup, along with a diner staple, the legendary patty melt. Man oh man, they did not disappoint. The soup was piping hot and so was my patty melt. Coincidence or otherwise, both were definitely hot and fresh... I was a very satisfied lunch diner. The soup was perfectly seasoned and they did not skimp on ingredients. The patty melt was definitely hot and juicy and quite tasty. The service was great as well, and if I remember correctly, the gent who took my order told me he and his parents are the current owners. Definitely worth your time to try for the first time and formulate your own opinions! Date of visit 4.21.26.

    Food took a long time . Arrived burnt . We asked for no butter on the toast they put butter . Don't see this place staying open for too long .

    My sister and I stumbled across this place, and couldn't be happier we did. If you're a simple, wholesome person, who loves a great breakfast, with a hole in the wall feel, this is the place for you! You can sit down or upstairs, we sat upstairs, and enjoyed a private conversation. We still felt as part of the rest of the restaurant as we would've down stairs. The service was excellent! We were not forgotten about and checked on regularly. The food was AMAZING! So good and at a great price.

    This is the best place to eat in Riverside. We have been coming here for years and never had an issue. The country fried steak and eggs is the best.

    From the outside I almost missed this place. Luckily the placard caught my eye, because the food is very good - and the restaurant actually IS larger on the inside, including an upstairs area. It's nicely decorated, giving a comfy welcoming feeling. The women's bathroom is even cute, and spacious, and clean. The chicken rice soup was excellent! And it looks like they always have turkey items on the menu, which is unusual, but very nice to find - turkey being only seasonal in so many restaurants. I think they're only open to 2pm today; but they serve breakfast & lunch until closing. Oh, the waitress was attentive and helpful, even offering to bring an ice tea to go. I really look forward to coming back. This was a great find!

    #10. Garbage Plate

    Had Sunday brunch here. Private parking lot, majority of seating is inside but they did have one table outside. There's two floors - looks like stairs only, and restrooms are located upstairs just something to be mindful of if incase someone has mobility issues. Service was definitely slow. And it wasn't just our party that felt this way, we had an older gentleman (customer) come up to us and ask if we had placed our order already, we said yes, and he replied that he felt as if he had been forgotten about. Another table sent one of their teenagers downstairs to check on the wait time of their food. So it wasn't just us - seemed as if everyone was a bit frustrated and antsy, wondering where their food was or what was taking so long. As far as the food goes, it tasted fine! Not a lot of flavor in my opinion but it was not bad whatsoever. Just a little plain but still okay.

    For some reason I've never noticed this small restaurant tucked into the Brockton Street arcade in central Riverside. Part of the older city, one can find lots of small specialty shops in surrounding areas and a number of restaurants too. Craving soup as the weather is slowly transitioning from interminable summer to fall, this came up in the Yelp search. We arrived well after noon but before they close, and found the small but cozy dining room mostly full but with room to accommodate. The setup inside reminds me of a Bavarian house with a small upstairs dining area overlooking the room below. Already decorated for Halloween, it creates a kid-friendly atmosphere. The menu is typical American and Mexican cuisine, more of the former than latter, and breakfast is a big draw as are housemade soups, that vary throughout the week. My tummy said breakfast and the so-called Garbage Plate contains a few of my favorite things, not limited to biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, and home fries with onions and peppers. My gf was feeling Corned Beef Hash, which also includes eggs any style, home fries, and a side of pancakes. A great sampling we thought. Coffee, however, is pretty weak, even for a typical institution style. Hard pass there is my recommendation. Her soup arrived first, shredded beef with vegetables, and we enjoyed the chunky carrots. I thought the breakfast was excellent overall, both of us enjoyed the pancakes. She was on the fence about Corned Beef but everything else was good. I really liked the bacon and biscuits. The gravy too was well seasoned without a heavy hand in the pepper department, and the service was decent except: We requested a side of their kielbasa that never arrived but it wasn't on the bill either so mark that up to either a language barrier or absent mindedness. No matter, we ate our fill and will definitely go back in the future.

    Cozy restaurant

    Lovely vibe and delicious food. Truthfully, service is usually a bit on the slow side, but it's a small place, everyone is working hard, and there's usually a lot of customers. Servers are also very kind.

The service is quick, the food is excellent!!!! It is a hole-in-the-wall type of eatery, but these are the gems you always look for! The food is made with a lot of love. My favorite is their roasted duck noodle soup. The crispy pork belly is my second choice, followed by the roasted duck, but EVERYTHING they serve is top notch!

It was not too loud in there and the place was relatively empty so that was nice. Biggest disappointment was service, because our table ordered chow mein and the waiter brought us chow fun (flat noodles with gravy). When we told him that we ordered chow mein, he told us that what we ordered was chow fun, so I showed him what we ordered on the menu and he said "you wanted lo mein". While I get that, he spent a minute trying to figure out where the item was and couldn't find it. I reviewed pics on here and it seems like other people got the thick yellow noodles for chow mein. Anyway, they replaced it for us but I overheard the waiter tell his manager that we ordered chow fun by accident. The manager then told us something about "our mistake" upon paying, placing blame on us . The manager was nice about it, but we repeatedly told the waiter chow mein and he kept correcting us to chow fun. Also, there is a section of the menu labeled chow mein and a separate page labeled chow fun. I think I know what we ordered. Disappointing.

We shared the philly roll so we think the salmon was bad. We also got separate ramen bowls. The miso ramen broth had a good flavor but the drunken ramen was pretty bland besides a straight basil and ginger flavor. The pork was very firm and difficult to chew in both of our meals. The egg was closer to hard boiled than soft boiled. The noodles were cooked well. The thai tea was decent. It was extremely sweet and diluted and didn't have that strong flavor most thai tea has. Service-wise, the waitress was friendly but she disappeared from the floor after giving us our food for about 30 minutes and never checked in with us or was available when we were ready to leave.

They even threw in extra rice, and I was genuinely excited to dig in. That excitement ended the moment I looked down at my bowl and found a **MAGGOT sitting on top of my rice.** I called the restaurant immediately and calmly explained what happened. They told me to contact DoorDash since that's how I ordered. Fine. I reported it through DoorDash's platform and waited. Then I got a call back from DoorDash -- not to help me, but to relay a message: **Big Sky had contacted them specifically to refuse my refund.** Let that sink in. A customer found a maggot in their food, couldn't eat a single bite of a $54.19 order, and the restaurant's response was to **actively call DoorDash to make sure I didn't get my money back.** I understand that occasionally bugs happen in food service. It's gross, but I was fully prepared to move on had they simply taken responsibility. Instead, they chose to fight a $54 refund over a maggot. That tells you everything you need to know about how this restaurant values its customers. **Eat here at your own risk -- and if something's wrong, you're on your own.**
