About Richie's Real American Diner

Richie's Real American Diner is a classic 50's/60's themed diner with a warm atmosphere and authentic homemade fare. The menu features generous portions, with standout dishes like the Mother's Day dinner, which includes Porterhouse steaks, Lobster, and a massive baked potato. The diner has day-of-the-week specials, including pot roast, and a kids' menu with smaller portions. For dessert, the peach cobbler is a must-try, made fresh on site. Richie's is a beloved local institution, with branches in Temecula, Murrieta, and Rancho Cucamonga, decorated with military memorabilia and temporary memorials to local servicemen and women. The food is outstanding, with a chili that is beyond belief, and options like the chili omelette, pancakes, and waffles that come in many varieties and are often topped with whipped cream and nuts. Dinners are also great, featuring dishes like chicken pot pie and tender pot roast. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is always clean, with clean bathrooms and wheelchair accessibility. Parking can be limited during peak hours, but the diner also provides take-out options and meal delivery.
