Stopped by Urban Skillet in Riverside for brunch and overall had a good experience, mainly because of the food. The restaurant has a casual, trendy brunch vibe and the menu is full of creative options that sounded really good. We tried the Brisket S'Mac Wrap, the Eggcelent Morning, and the truffle fries. The brisket wrap was flavorful and filling, with a nice balance of savory and cheesy. The Eggcelent Morning was solid comfort food and definitely satisfied a brunch craving. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great shareable side. Service was the one downside. It was not very attentive, and we waited longer than expected for check-ins and refills. It was not terrible, but noticeable enough to impact the experience. Not to mention, it was not very busy at all around the time weren't, which was on a Wednesday around noon. Overall, the food was good and I would come back, especially when in the mood for brunch. With a little improvement in service, this could easily be a great go-to spot

Southwest BBQ Burger
Noah V.

Stopped by Urban Skillet located in University Village near University of California Riverside and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Southwest BBQ burger and it was excellent. The meat had so much flavor that I didn't even need to add any extra sauce. You can tell the quality right away. My mom ordered the brisket melt and you can imagine how good that was too. The place was pretty quiet when we went, but the server was very nice and handled everything alone, bringing the food out in about 10 minutes. If you're near University of California, Riverside and craving a solid burger, this is definitely a place worth stopping by.

Buffalo chicken fries

First time here and I'm not a huge fan. Ordered 3 things and it was nearly $50. Waiting 30 mins and the food was mid honestly not worth $50 or the 30 min wait. Look at the fries we had a bite or two but it barely had any sauce or meat $13-$14 for a small portion isn't worth it.

Urban double and brisket fries.
David M.

Honest review: I think the food was ok but it's too pricey for what you get. Urban double, Brisket Fries, and drink came out to $33. I know they are promoting non gmo and no antibiotics but damn.. at least make it bigger. Other thing I didn't like is that the brisket had a texture of ground beef which I think is a little nasty and lazy. Would I come again? I'm not sure... there are better burger places than this for cheaper. Service was good and the place was neatly kept.

Chicken burger. Kinda small
Ye L.

This location used to be an Indian restaurant and now it seems to be a $14 burger joint selling halal grass fed burgers. The interior is pretty normal for a fast food place with big TVs that were showing images instead of TV. We arrived near opening time and were able to make our orders quickly. They eventually served our burgers over the glass divider which was kind of strange. Otherwise, service was fine for essentially fast food. The food itself was fine but IMHO not so spectacular as to justify the price. The sweet potato fries we got were a little under fried which is probably healthier but not as satisfying. The chicken burger was tasty but would have been better with more sourness in the Cole slaw or sauce. The impossible burger was meh. Definitely had better. My colleague got a beef burger and didn't make any comments so I assume it was also fine but not amazing. I'll come back sometime to try a beef burger but for now, I'm not holding my breath.

Great burger! Very tasty and great customer service. I will be back! First time today and enjoyed.

Buffalo fries
Ana Liz L.

Super clean establishment. Courteous customer service, fresh ingredients, tasty selections. 1st time here, I will definitely be back, the meat is so juicy and tender and not over or undercooked. The brioche bun was nice at toasty in the right places, omg SO good. Fries are nice and krispy which is great when they have toppings and sauce all over them. My husband ordered the hot burger and he said it was delicious. We will be back. Oh and everything was made ok the spot, not pre cooked!

Parv was amazing--helpful, polite, and welcoming and clean establishment. He came out to ask every patron how the food and experience was. The burger was absolutely delicious! There's ample indoor seating and a few spots outside as well. Parking is plentiful since it's located in a plaza. Highly recommend this place!

2 original burgers and skillet fried

This place was pretty good $10 for a burger is my kind of spot The fries are delicious and crispy and everything in the back and front of house was really clean I like how they have fun stuff playing on the TV and you can sit down and chill and catch up. The burger was just okay to be unfortunately, yes the price was awesome but nothing made this burger stand out to me in anyway If you want the clean no blood meat than this is the spot for you, but if you don't need that go somewhere else cause the flavor lacks a tad in the finish of the bite. Great service and the gentlemen who took our order and took us out meals was super polite Thank you

Myself, Ethan, Raul, Gary, and Julius enjoyed few hours company & visit. The woman & cooks at the time who had served myself and my brethren was very kind, professional, and encouraging. The Beyond Burger tasted great! And it was a nice lil' cozy spot to come and dine in. Thank you for all of your service. IG. @th4ddaeus.mp4

I liked the official food art pictures enough to stop by yesterday. In particular, the wrap stuffed with BBQ brisket and macncheese [sic.] seemed like a good place to start. It wasn't terribly busy a little after noon, one table with three guys and a small family in the back. None had food on the tables and appeared to be there for a while. Anyhow, I ordered almost immediately, the guy was nice and I grabbed a small table to wait. After about 15 minutes I was starting to get antsy, and the food was only going to the other two tables. It seems they waited a good deal longer than myself. After a false start (a late item to another table) my wrap arrived. An apology regarding the wait was mentioned, and appreciated. Taste and appearance: Well, it didn't really resemble the official photo, nor could it possibly be eaten by hand without a colossal mess. Moreover, the macncheese was very loose, and until I ate the second half very little brisket was encountered. Apparently it was lopsided in distribution instead of blended. The tortilla in the official photo appeared to be slightly grilled to warm it up. Not so here. In fact, it tasted and behaved exactly like a lukewarm tortilla from the bag. The brisket was buried in the sauce so it tasted OK, but non-distinct. On account of the long wait and lackluster outcome, I seriously doubt I'd return to try a burger or anything else, even if a few things sound interesting.

Let me start off by saying this, I AM ONLY GIVING THEM 5 STARS BECAUSE OF CAM(Cameron) !!!!…read more Every time we come here the wait time to be seated is 20+ minutes, when NO ONE IS EVEN IN THERE. Empty tables everywhere ! But the last two times we went, we had the pleasure of cam being our server ! He is so sweet and accommodating! Other than that, I agree with every 1 star review they have ! They are not lying, this place sucks. Aside from cam ! He deserves better !

My family and I went on Saturday, June 27, 2026 to watch the FIFA World Cup game. We put our name…read moreon the waiting list and requested a booth. The host told us the wait would be about 25 minutes. There were quite a few people ahead of us. As we stood waiting, we noticed several tables and booths sitting empty. I asked the host, "Why isn't anyone sitting at those tables and booths?" Instead of giving a simple answer, he tried to sound like a pseudo-intellectual and gave a long-winded explanation that didn't really make sense. He was basically trying to say, "We don't want to overwhelm the servers." Well, why the heck didn't you just say that in the first place? The game started, and we continued watching while we waited... and waited... and waited. We ended up waiting for about an hour, even though we had been told it would only be 25 minutes. I saw the manager speaking with the host, so I asked if we were even close to being seated. The manager replied, "Yes, you're next." So we waited... and waited... and waited. Eventually, we turned around to see how many people were still waiting behind us and realized the waiting area had almost completely cleared out. There were only two people left waiting! So my friend asked the host, "When are we going to be called? You seated people who came in after us." He responded, "Okay, let me clean a table for you." Keep in mind, we had requested a booth, and there was an available booth that just needed to be bussed. Instead, he cleaned off a table and said, "Okay, I can seat you now." We replied, "We see there's an open booth." He looked at my friend and said, "I see you're adamant about having a booth." Well, yeah! That's what we requested from the very beginning. My friend, doing his best to stay calm, simply said, "Let's go." This is exactly why we usually go to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Moreno Valley. Better service, great hosts and servers, and managers who actually care. DO NOT GO TO THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS AT THE RIVERSIDE TYLER MALL. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! Note: I will be speaking with the manager. Hopefully he remembers what happened. If possible, I'll also be contacting corporate.
