incredible... Food was beyond outstanding the unique flavors are superb, the menu was exciting and the service was delightful. We live 1 hour away and cant wait to go back. Dont miss it! read more

I am SO bummed to give this awful review...but I had the worst french toast i have ever had. So dry..no time to soak the bread in egg mixture. Really dry. No butter,, slight drizzle of syrup. Had to ask for side of it to dunk the dry, cold, boring toast in. Which is especially disappointing since what i really wanted (Chicken & Waffles, which the server said are the best he has had anywhere) was already sold out at 1115am... they open at 10am...this is a Saturday...there are only 6 other customers in the whole place... It is their most popular item. Ok, if that is the the case then WHY don't you have enough CHICKEN for the chicken & waffles. So i had to choose quick and asked for the french toash, with a side of bacon. They okay'd an order of kids chicken fingers and a separate kids order of waffles so the 10 year old could have what he wanted by buying 2 meals...server comes back-" ok so the chef has decided that we can make 1 order of chicken & waffles from the chicken he had set aside for 1 kids oder of chicken strips." and I just stayed w the french toast. 2 others had a bowl of some sort of root veggies w egg on top. Other friend got vegan eggs Benny. She said it had strong indian favors and heat which were out of place and the "eggs" were strangely runny.... so it turned her off as they were unappealing. The 10yr old had the best dish with the last serving of chicken & waffles rustled together. The server was nice & attentive. He and the delicious (yet also inconsistant flavor profile 3 ordered all looked n tasted different) Butterfly Kisses martinis are the only reason i am givibg it 2 stars. I likely will not come back, but IF i make that 23 mile drive from Norco again I will be certain to place our order of chicken and waffles ahead to be sure to get it and just stay home if they are "sold out" so early once more. read more

Wagyu Sirloin & Braised Short Rib Wagyu Sirloin was tasty and delicious. Braised Short Rib was tender and great. Drinks 10/10. Service 10/10. It was not busy at all but I did make a reservation beforehand incase it was. read more

Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you--this farm to table restaurant is a hidden gem in MoVal. With house-made sauces, local ingredients, and vegan dishes that make you second guess if they're vegan--Rustik Fork can cater to everyone. The online menu has photos and reviews of dishes which I always find super helpful as someone who already Yelps everything to find photos before I order. My top picks are the loaded fries with the smoked jackfruit "pulled pork" and the watermelon sugar cocktail. My boyfriend also said the braised short rib was very tender and full of flavor. If light and refreshing cocktails are your thing, you'll feel right at home as most of the cocktails are fruit forward. I noticed there were less options for dark liquor based drinks, but I'm sure you could also order off menu. They also offer mocktails and organic soda if that's more your speed! RF's weakest offering is their dessert. We tried the coffee toffee cake which IMO sounded better than it actually was. The amount of toffee topping, cold brew ice cream, and whipped cream over powered the cake and overall was not worth $16. When you're not willing to drive the extra ~20 minutes to Riverside, Rustik Fork is a great option for a date night that has a wider selection than your typical New American restaurant. read more

The best food I've had in Riverside and I love how everything is fresh. Everyone was super nice. Will definitely be back!

I was hoping for a better experience but the food was all right, nothing to rave about. I think I like the burgers at In n Out better. The service was extremely slow. Took a while to get our food, I honestly feel like they forgot to ring it in or something. Definitely forgot about my cousins soda. But had a great time catching up with my cousin. read more

First time there, we went for Valentine's dinner. The sea bass was the best we ever had! You have to try the Brussels sprouts too. The servers were very knowledgeable & our drinks never ran empty. Will be going back soon! The servers were read more

Took my handsome man to this restaurant. We ordered the following items: Mac and cheese, Brussel sprouts, and finally scallops. He ordered the sirloin steak with veggies and mashed potatoes. I ordered Cajun shrimp pasta. The dishes weren't anything to cheer about like the good old master Chef Ramsey would say "my grandmother could do better" Mac and cheese were weak and the scallops were hideous. read more

I want to like the food for dinners, but I do find it overly pretentious and sometimes the taste combinations are just off. The service is professional. The ambiance is about right for the price. I really want to like Rustik Fork. The drinks are fantastic. I tend to order fish or salad. My husband loves their steaks and fries. I don't mind going on repeat, but I'd rather just go for drinks and appetizers. read more

Came for brunch with a friend & the food was very good! Really chill environment! The service was great as well. Only picture I took was of the espresso martini! It was my first time having one & I really liked it. I would definitely return! read more

The Rustik Fork - Espresso Martini - Gastropubs Near Me - Riverside, California

We found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Food was delicious and the beer choice was good as well.

I headed to Perris, CA for a sales call and the food options in the area are almost nonexistent. My rep suggested this spot as an oasis in the culinary desert. He was right. Smartly decorated and a top notch staff made this a real find. Top quality ingredients and a fairly limited menu but enough to find something either unique or comforting. I opted for a burger salad which is basically a burger patty on top of greens instead of a bun. Simple and delicious. They specialize in meats so this was a really good burger. Fun spot. This is not fast food. read more

Went here for my anniversary and it was amazing. Fresh, organic, well-made, and great service. I will be dining here again, cheers!

We were greeted with all smiles by Emma, our waitress for the evening on a Tuesday. We started our journey by tasting some of the local beverages (sodas). We chose the root beer. After careful consideration we opted for the Mac n Bacon appetizer. Delish. Then for entrees we decided on the Sirloin with loaded mash and the Brasied Ribs with noodles. Emma made our experience a wonderful and even more special night. read more

Had the best lil date night dinner at Rustik Fork! I've had my eye on this place for a while and finally had a chance to try. We were def not disappointed. Our server Casey was super attentive, personal and provided us great recommendations on both drink and food options. I ordered the Cajun Shrimp Pasta and it was delish. Just the right amount of pasta and shrimp. read more

This riverside restaurant gets a lot of hype..and i kind of didn't want to like it as much as i did. everything was fabulous! steak, sea bass, appetizers, drinks. my vegan friend was even able to find something delicious on the menu. The service is great. i'm so happy i decided to give this place a try. read more

General manager took my order, messed my order up.waiter that delivered it argued with me and I politely declined the dish if they couldn't fix it. They brought it back wrong again and argued until we pulled up the menu from the QR code on the table and showed them what I ordered and got the response of a menu change... So why did the general manager take that order?? Fix your menu! Know your menu! $220 is a lot to spend on dinner celebrating family and you get it wrong twice! Also very hot restaurant! High price should be a cool place to eat! This was all food! We had water to drink! read more

The Rustik Fork - Burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Riverside, California

Amazing food, service, and overall experience! Our family was accommodated and served with great care and everything, from the hospitality and care given when we called to make a reservation for a party of 15-Angelic and Kelly were gracious and made sure our entire party were seated, served, and cared for. Our meals were exceptional! The taste and preparations were done to everyone's varied taste; and Angelo's attentiveness to service and detail made our evening a night to remember. The ambiance was great and rhetorical inside doesn't look much from the outside and parking area--but don't let that fool you. Thank you, Rustik Fork--mahalo nui (thank you in Hawaiian) Angelic and Kelly and the entire staff for allowing us to celebrate our Dad's 75th birthday with an unforgettable meal (that they're still raving about still, today). We look forward to returning and enjoying lunch and dinner again, soon! We only took a few pics of our meals--but ordered the following (all 10 of 10 for presentation, taste, service). Appetizers: Crispy Brussels Sprouts Charcuterie Board Organic flatbread Vegan Mac House & Sweet potato fries Village bakery bread Roasted Beet Salad Burgers & entrees: Rustik Burgers Truffle Burgers Smoked cheddar and Mac for most of the kids Wagyu steak sandwich Salmon Kids burgers Desserts: Date Spice Cake Dark Chocolate Brownie Thank you for your Aloha Spirit, Rustik Fork!

Always incredible. We had stroganoff, loaded fries, burgers and steak and every single thing tasted amazing. Service is on point and the hand crafted sodas are amazing. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here on New Year's Day. Both the hostess and our server were incredibly warm and welcoming, and inside had a very open yet cozy feel to it. My bf and I both got steaks- hangar steak for him and steak frites for me. Excellent flavor on both and cooked just to our liking. The fries were also excellent, and I loved the house made ketchup. I also really enjoyed my blood orange sangria. Not sure how busy it gets on a normal night, but parking was plentiful in the lot. read more

Food was delicious. Appetizer bread and stuffed dates were great. Ordered 3 different burgers and all were solid. The marsala pasta was delicious too. Service could have been a bit faster. read more

Arrived during brunch hours. The food took a bit over 30 minutes to be ready, the Wagyu sandwich was smaller than anticipated for the $32 price tag. The sweet potato was cut into small pieces; using a spoon might have been more suitable as an eating utensil. Taste-wise, the food was good, but no further comments on that. Parking was not an issue and the ambiance was casual with an average noise level, featuring a modern rustic interior. read more

Best restaurant in Riverside. Farm to table cuisine with rotating menu. Cocktails are always good. Child friendly.

This Rustik Fork Eatery is a unique restaurant. I'd say you should definitely make a reservation before you come! My friend and I did not realize how popular this spot is. And we rolled up without a reservation and had to wait about 45 minutes. So a reservation is highly encouraged. Also, please take note of the hours. They are open in the morning and then close until 5pm. At 5pm there is a rush of people showing up. The food is different. One of the great things about The Rustic Fork Eatery is that they cater to all diets. If you are Keto, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or an alien; they will have something for you to eat lol That being said, I purposely ordered the vegan and vegetarian options to try. My friend ordered the carnivore options. The vegan Mac and cheese is definitely vegan tasting. I will not lie, it does not taste like make and cheese. It has an odd taste. Hard to describe. My friend also tried it and said it tasted "weird." I wouldn't order that again. I also ordered a beet salad, and the orange cauliflower dish. The salad was fresh and delicious! And my cauliflower dish was alright. My friend liked her burger and fries. The homemade ranch and ketchup were amazing!!! We ordered the watermelon cocktails and those tasted odd. Not a good flavor. We didn't like that drink. read more

We are from out of the state and we have visited it twice. I had the best beet salad I ever had. The hosts was very friendly and love the ambiance. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for over 2 years. Went here for Mother's Day. Total disappointment. Our reservation was at 7pm. We didn't get our dinner until 8pm. We asked for Coke and they gave us some sort of cola. We sent it back. The loaded fries were good. The fish was fine. The steak was fine. All nothing to rave about. But the lobster bisque was disappointing. The lobster was very difficult to pry open. Not a lot of soup. By the time we got part of the lobster out our hands were all dirty and our bisque looked sad. Needless to say sent it back. We saw someone else behind us also struggling with the lobster tail. I think it was a badly executed dish. I think this restaurant has a ways to go to get to the caliber of food I'm expecting. It's too far off the beaten path to visit / try again. read more

Had a really good time with family here for lunch. Everything here is from local farmers and growers in the area. The restaurant has a modern western down home vibe. It was several of us so we ordered family style. For starters we ordered the brussel sprouts, really flavorful. Also for the table, the roasted beet salad was tasty and fresh. For the entree, a chef special of the day, shrimp pasta. These were my favorites. The staff was attentive and the food came out fairly quick. Great place. read more

I made a reservation here to celebrate an early birthday and was pleasantly surprised! Although everything was a little pricey, the dishes were beautifully plated and tasted delicious. i think the charcuterie board could have used a little more diversity, but if I recall correctly it was reasonably priced at $25. The hanger steak was juicy and well seasoned, and my miso cod was fork tender and melted in my mouth. The bok choy however was, in my opinion, not a good accompaniment to the cod, at least not in the way it was cooked. The leaves were crisp and dried up, making it very difficult to eat. I would have liked it better if the bok choy was parboiled first and maybe sautéed afterward. Overall, I still enjoyed this restaurant regardless and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a casual upscale eatery for an intimate gathering. read more

Food here is good and they have good cocktails. One of the best places to take friends that are vegetarian/vegan for a nice lunch or dinner. Good burgers. Biggest complaint is that the acoustics are awful. I would come here more often if I could actually have a conversation at a table, but I can barley hear what the person right across from me is saying. read more

Food was not nearly as expected. It's either me having too high of expectations and being delusional or the reviewers previously have low expectations and are delusional. I think the food was very overpriced for the quality. I will never spend money here again. Super disappointed as I expected way better quality. My stomach hurts so bad and I'm extremely bloated. Season salt for fries...local meaning from the local grocery store nearby.... So confused and I feel like after every customer leaves they say...got em. Jokes on me, I wasted my money here. read more

The Rustik Fork is absolutely amazing. The place is stylish and "rustic chic". The service is great. But the food in this restaurant is what makes it five stars for me. Every dish is well thought out and well executed. Not only does the seasonal menu tell a story, the ingredients themselves have a story to tell. When you dine here, please ask your server about the sourcing for the ingredients. You be amazed with care that's been taken with every ingredient. read more

Service was great. We were taking our time and did not feel rushed. Food was super yummy and the cocktails even yummier.

The food here is always Delicious! I come here with my Mom, sometimes my kids or grandkid. The food is tasty, the wine is delicious, and love their desserts too! What a great place! read more

The interior is cute and rustic but sadly, I thought the food is subpar. I ordered the Braised Short Rib after seeing all the reviews and photos and in my opinion it was very underwhelming. The short rib was tender but under seasoned, polenta was flavorful, seasonal veggies were okay and unfortunately there wasn't enough demi-glace for me to try. Demi-glace is an amazing rich sauce, but what I got seemed like some meat drippings. I thought $40 for a Braised Short Rib dish was fairly priced but what I got is definitely not worth $40. Maybe I came in on an off day so would possibly be open to giving it another try. We shall see. read more

If you're a fan of farm-to-table dining, you might just love this place! The presentation was super nice, and the service was top-notch. I know the food names, but the taste was just a tad off for me. Since this is my first farm table restaurant, it might just be me, but I definitely recommend you check it out and see what you think. Happy dining! read more

Great food, atmosphere and customer service! I would recommend Rustik Fork Eatery to all my family and friends! Keep up the great service.

Good food, great service! The atmosphere is a bit bright for date night but perfect for family dinner.
