“Delicious crepes. We had the Almost Healthy and Turkey Pesto crepes for lunch. They made them to order rather quickly and they were delicious. We also had an oreo shake which was very good as well.
We definitely recommend this cafe for a quick eat in, or take out.”
“2nd time here! Food was fantastic...again! Our server Tyler was fabulous!!! Happy Birthday to me!!”
“The meat melts in your mouth. You can tell it has totally made with YOUR BBQ needs in mind. Santos the owner really shows off his passion in all the details he puts into his BBQ.”
“Love this place! Great selection of beer and awesome environment. Catch any game there and get some grub. They usually have different food vendors there. You can check their instagram for upcoming events and dates on when the food vendors will be there. All the staff is great and friendly.”
“We are super loyal to another KBBQ but decided to try this place and I think it's my new favorite! The meat is decent, it's not a HUGE selection but it's all the main favorites! What really impressed me was the sides and extras! You're not just eating meat all night, they have every side you could ever want! Even noodles and broth to make soup! All types of veggies and pineapple to grill, dumplings calamari rice all kinds of appetizers.. multiple sauces. I was in awe and can't wait to go back! Plus so friendly!!”

“Such a wonderful place. From the greeting as we came in, the waiter seating us, to the delicious meal that was more like a work of art than a meal. A feast for the eye and taste buds. Our waiter was superb and attentive without rushing. If you enjoy sushi then please do come to Momo Sushi to be wowed.”

We loved the atmosphere upbeat and colorful.Everyone who worked there was sooooo attentive,we didn't need for nothing.The employees seemed very happy and eager to please they didn't miss a beat.The food was absolutely amazing especially the fish and chips.The fish was so hot and crunchy and flavored along with the garlic parmesan fries,loved it.We will definitely be back and I pray the staff keeps the same energy. THANK YOU!!!”
“Can’t wait to go back! The food was absolutely delicious and the wine list was huge. We had appetizers, entrées, desserts, and wine, and everything was really excellent. Portions were larger than expected, too. Johannes took great care of us! He and the kitchen were also attentive to my dietary restrictions (gluten allergy). Highly recommend!!”

“one of the best café spots here in downtown. Kid friendly, the owner whipped out a couple of coloring books and a basket of crayons right when she saw my daughter sit down. The coffee is sooooo goood. The cesar wrap is delicious. the grilled cheese sandwhich with tomatoe soup is bomb. The customer service was amazing, friendly , inviting. will be back soon”
“The food is delicious and the staff are great. We've ordered many dishes and we've never been disappointed. A few of our favorites dishes are the Eggplant Vegetables, Mongolian Beef, Chop Suey, Garlic Shrimp, Egg rolls, Dumplings as well as Wonton& egg drop soups. It's all delicious. It's all delicious! The Head Chef has years of experience as does the owner Karen & her right hands Em & Sooki. Guaranteed you will leave the place happy and satisfied. AAA PLUS. P.S. My family & I been enjoying Monarch Bistro for many years.”
“For 34 years my wife and I would eat there 2 to 4 times a month, it was our favorite restaurant. Friendly staff good fresh made food, If you want a combo that is not listed, want hotter salsa, something you don't see on the menu ask your waitress, the owner and staff are great! I'll be there tonight”
“I come here pretty often, and it never disappoints. The grilled fish is always spot-on, but what keeps me coming back is the amazing service. The staff are super friendly — they greet you warmly as soon as you walk in and are always happy to help with flavor recommendations. I brought a friend this time and she loved it too. Definitely one of my go-to spots!🤩”

“This was my first time going here with my sister,cousin,daughter and neice. it was very nice we sat outside the noise was moderate but overall quite the surroundings was nice as well with all the lights and activities going on.The food was on point and so was the customer services. We will be going back.”

“amazing food, amazing service, amazing experience!! found this place looking for vegan options & decided to go based on the google reviews. even with the pre-notion that they had 4.9 stars, my expectations were far surpassed! i didn’t catch the name of the guy who took our order but he was lovely & had great energy. for being a completely vegan spot, my socks were knocked right off. best chicken burger i’ve ever had. even my dad who eats real meat was throughly impressed. would definitely go again. 10/10”
“First time here. This place is so tasty. The strawberry matcha latte was truly delicious, maybe the best I've had. I got it with the brulee custard, boba, and grass jelly ($8.25 for a large with all the extras). Amazing. The popcorn chicken was well seasoned with a good batter ($8.50). Cute place. Great service. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in the area.”
“Home-cooked Middle Eastern food. The food was so excellent that I left the restaurant a little bit sad and very nostalgic. Their samosas are not only delicious they're beautiful compared to many other places handmade stuffed grape leaves. The food was perfect I can't say enough.”
“I tried the poke bowls at Pokitomik, and they were absolutely amazing! 🥗🐟 The fish was fresh, the toppings were super flavorful, and everything tasted so balanced and delicious. The portions were generous for the price, and the staff was friendly and quick with service. Definitely one of the best poke spots in Riverside. I'll be coming back for sure!
Highly recommend if you're craving something fresh, healthy, and tasty. 🌟”
“It was perfect with excellence abundant of food. Do You Cater Do you phone mailbox is not set up”
“ive had their crepes twice i wanna say, and they're super good! but tbh i come here every time i go to the UV for Sonny Angels LOL. with how popular they've gotten, it's been harder to find AUTHENTIC ones literally anywhere. plus my dog likes to open them with me.”
“Mikey was super friendly and helped us make a choice. Choice of several different fish; Cod, Salmon, Swai, Dover, and more. Also chicken was available. The fish was delicious & and the breading was a very light and nicely seasoned. The shrimp were great too. Crinkle cut fries made it a traditional Fish & Chips I haven't found since H-Salt all but disappeared from SoCal.”

“I recently ordered the quesabirria tacos, birria ramen and some large sides of beans and rice. The food is really good! My daughter loved the ramen, and my husband, who's picky about refried beans, was impressed. They put so much meat in the tacos that I could have made 2 more tacos. Even the ramen was loaded. Very good! I'll definitely go back”
“Cenaduría Oaxaqueña Donaji truly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is set in a house with limited parking, but plenty of street parking nearby. Luckily, we found a spot inside. As we stepped under the large white tarp, we were welcomed like guests at a family gathering, I immediately felt at home. While waiting for our table, they kindly seated us next to a heater, making the experience even more comfortable. From there, we could watch the food being prepared, and it was nothing short of an art form. After a brief 15-minute wait, we were seated and ready to enjoy our meal. I tried a tlayuda for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious, loaded with quesillo, beans, and three types of meat: cecina, chorizo, and what appeared to be chuleta. The portions were incredibly generous. We also shared a quesadilla with epazote, which was just as flavorful. With those two dishes, my wife and I had more than enough to eat. To top it off, the café de olla was incredible, and the hot chocolate was simply exquisite. I highly recommend visiting this hidden Oaxacan gem in Riverside!”

“The food here is decent but we tried it 2x after our acupuncture appt, my husband and I and it just doesn’t feel / taste super authentic. We took my son some menudo home to be the ultimate judge. He also said the menudo was plain no flavor. I didn’t clock on don’t recommend because it is reasonably priced. Service was rather slow though, my husband can drink a diet soda like I can my wine , and they just didn’t keep up with it for him. So if in a rut and need food and don’t care about flavor Ten this is your spot.”

“We decided to go to this particular restaurant because of a birthday, my daughter-in-law had a birthday and my son suggested we go here. At first, it’s very unassuming and pretty small on the outside but also small on the inside with that being said the sushi was not small at all. It was deliciousservice was fantastic. So if you would like delicious sushi, great service and pretty good ambience you should check these people out. We were very pleased and will definitely be back. By local, shop local and spend local.”

“We had a great experience this weekend. The food was great, plenty of flavor. Our server, Stephanie, was extremely nice and helpful. She really went above and beyond. The dessert was tasty. The drinks were perfect. Perfect poor and the taste very unique. I highly recommended the spicy mango margarita. It's tangy, smokey, and spicey. Never had anything quite like it.”
“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“This is my 5-6th time coming here and every time it never fails to impress me. From the service to the food to the price, it’s unbeatable. Undeniably the best Indian food I’ve had, on par with my Indian friends family food. Highly recommend to anyone craving Indian food in the IE area.”
“Love me some Thai food, especially the yellow curry. If you enjoy flavor with spice, I'd recommend level 4 (Hot). I've been here a handful of times, always order the same chicken yellow curry and medium isn't as spicy as you'd think. Prices are decent and quality of food matches prices. Items do come with a small pint of rice so if you need more, you do need to pay an additional cost.
I haven't dined in the restaurant but ambiance is casual and a normal restaurant setting, not loud. Service is great, haven't experienced any issues. I'm a reoccurring customer so I'd recommend TK Thai Cuisine.”

“I've been buying coffee from Patrick at Coffey Co. For almost a year now, since I've had my espresso machine. His coffee beans are always consistent, fresh and delicious. Love supporting a local business who in turn delivers a delicious product to the local community. Can't recommend Them enough!!!”
“Overall my diablo burger was pretty freaking delicious but my gf didnt like hers but then again she got a breakfast burger at like midnight so let's count half of her opinion lol .. But the only thing that made it not be a 5 ⭐ was the worker made us wait like 10 to almost 15 mins at the intercom when there was only one car at the window.”
“just yakked in the bathroom five times, thank god there wasn’t a mirror because i didn’t wanna look at myself. also the structural integrity of the carls jr bag is quite impressive. i vomited thrice into one while waiting in line for the bathroom and it didn’t leak a drop. i still don’t believe it.”
“I like Sushi OK because this restaurant has consistency. To-go pickup or dine-in, they always make my order right. My favorite is their Chirashi bowl and Lunch Bento Specials B. I had an Omakase dinner a few years ago on my birthday, and all the special/deluxe dishes were very delicious! It was not cheap but totally worth it.”
“Ordered the premium family tray and everything was so delicious! Everyone was warm and welcoming. I believe our server was Phil and he was just wonderful! Fast service, recommendations spot on and overall excellent customer service. Thanks for making our anniversary dinner a wonderful experience. See you next time!”

“I had ordered on-line for pick up. The small waiting area was full with 8 people when I arrived, I thought the store was behind. I stepped in, waited maybe 1 minute, and was greeted. My order was ready. He included a bag of way-to-many packs of parm and red pepper flake. (Now our pantry is stocked). He retrieved the Ranch needed for the wings and off I went. I left thinking that was amazing. Fast, effeceint and 20% off for ordering on-line. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I failed to tell them the store lights were off outside, I had a hard time seeing it for the first time coming here. Funny though, my driveway lights were not on yet either. I had to adjust my own timer.”

“First time here and got to say had a great experience with a customer in there. I had seen him ordering and I asked him “which one was his favorite cookie “ and he told me then I proceed and order my own then he said” here let me put my number” I was like okay not knowing what he was doing then he said “ your good u just wait for them” I was shocked on how he paid for my order 🙏🏼 Im glad theirs still nice people out there. Didn’t really interact with the girls there they were too busy doing his big order.”
“The Rustic Fork was recommended by a local realtor and being new to the area we were excited to try it out. However we were extremely disappointed with the service and management. We waited at least 45 minutes for a basic hamburger, the waitresses were not attentive and you had to basically waive them down just for them to notice you. Even when I was able to flag a waiter down and asked them could they bring some lemons and hot water, the person said of course and totally forgot to bring the lemons and hot water. When the food finally arrived the fries were cold, however the burger was amazing. I brought off this to the attention of the manager, Kelsey, although she looked like she was lost in space, she apologized and said due to filming that was taking place on the premises they were running behind. I said so the customer has to suffer because your filming? She just looked puzzled gave us a slight minuscule discount which clearly showed a lack of appreciation for our time.”
“Very great service, Alfredo the manager is one of a kind. Congratulations to the whole team!!!! 😃😃😃”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This was my second visit to this food truck. First found it last year on my visit to California and went again this year because it was so good last year. It’s in an area you wouldn’t think to go, just on the side of the road in an industrial looking area, but it’s worth it to go. They are really friendly and the food is a great value and AMAZING! I got their Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos, bother superb, but the real star is the quesa-burria. It is a must get! So flavourful. And they have a little seating area set up with extra toppings and salsas for everyone’s tastes. Love this place, will definitely go again on my next visit to Riverside. Thank you again!”
“Hidden behind the Tyler Mall sits a local noodle house for some great “Pho”. The ambiance is taking you back to old school rock, literature, and movies. Has a nice casual vibe. Not your usual Pho decor. Very cool spot. Had some pork eggrolls to start. Yum. Pho brisket. Yum. Broth was amazing. One size fits all hunger needs.”
“ive had their crepes twice i wanna say, and they're super good! but tbh i come here every time i go to the UV for Sonny Angels LOL. with how popular they've gotten, it's been harder to find AUTHENTIC ones literally anywhere. plus my dog likes to open them with me.”
“I had the BEST experience at Cold Stone thanks to Jackie!
I ended up with the most delicious combo of strawberries, and it was heavenly. Jackie didn’t just serve ice cream; she served happiness in a cup (with extra sprinkles of kindness)!
You can tell she really takes pride in what she does, and it made my visit feel extra special. Cold Stone is lucky to have her, and I’ll definitely be back—partly for the ice cream, but mostly for Jackie’s incredible service!”
“Honestly how could I give this or any other in n out less than five stars. I’ve only heard of one in n out in Utah that didn’t have very good food. Of course the food here is served hot and fresh. The service is fast and the employees are friendly. If there’s a long line here don’t turn away because it will most likely go 2 or 3 times faster than what you think. It’s right across the street from Home Depot, McDonald’s, and a gas station, and right off the 91 freeway on Madison Street. There is a secret menu to know about at this restaurant. You can ask for a Neapolitan shake to get strawberry chocolate and vanilla mixed in. You can ask for animal style fries or a burger to get your onions grilled. You can get a protein style burger to get your hamburger bun replaced by lettuce. Animal style fries comes with cheddar cheese and grilled onions and thousand Island dressing. They are amazing! There’s way more to the list. Maybe look up that secret menu on Google.
Edit and update: 7-31-2025
The drive-thru was packed and it took about 20 to 25 minutes to get my food. I'm surprised mainly because it usually doesn't take that long at In-N-Out. Could have been a difficult order they had to deal with. But I've never had to wait so long. And the french fries had a hollow weird kind of texture. The burger was great though. My son usually likes the french fries and he didn't eat them this time and actually said they were different. I thought he was imagining that. Then I tried the fries myself and noticed the same thing.
I'll come back and try again. Maybe it was just an off night. Thank you In-N-Out for doing your best to stay consistent.”

“Dear Charley and Antone's staff, I want to sincerely thank you all for providing your restaurant for us to have my Mom's Celebration of Life. She loved Antone's! We had the best party in her honor, and it was largely thanks to you all! Delicious food. Excellent service. Caring staff. It was the best ever. Seriously put FUN back into FUNeral. It was a happy and enjoyable experience and took all the stress away from the family. Bless you all! I highly recommend your restaurant for private functions or just a delicious meal anytime. Thank you! R.I.P. Mom!”
“The tofu soup here blew me away. I didn’t have expectations because I’ve been disappointed by other restaurants before, but I ordered the vegetable soondubu (has broccoli, cauliflower, and mushroom with egg on the side to drop in) and the flavor of the broth was insanely good. I HIGHLY recommend getting tofu soup here and I definitely will be bringing friends and recommend in this spot. The banchan though was just ok.”
“Got the fried calamari, which was overcooked and heavily breaded. Entre was the Nashville chicken and pancakes, which was perfect. The toasted marshmallow on tap was fantastic.”
“A truly wonderful dining experience! The sushi is some of the best I’ve ever had, with delicate flavors and fresh ingredients that shine in every bite. The ambiance is refined yet comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that every guest feels special. The sake selection is fantastic, complementing the meal beautifully. This place is a hidden treasure, and I’ll definitely be back soon!”
Cheap Eats
“These donuts are amazing and the owners are super sweet! I had a very large order for my daughters 1st bday. Not only were they very accommodating with my requests they made a little more than I ordered and went above and beyond actually bringing the boxes to my car! Thank you Better Be Donuts. I will sure refer you to others and continue to buy your delicious donuts.”
“We placed an order for a large group. Staff guided us through our selections and recommended family dinners over catering items, which was a great cost-savings! Our order was ready on time, and staff helped put it in our car for transport to the party. Food was prepped to order, salad was fresh, rice and kebabs were perfect, bread was fresh and cut into manageable pieces, and dressings were amazing. They truly exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely return in the future!”
“Was it worth it?? Line was out the door when we first arrived! Thinking to myself, is this really worth it? Must be if this many people are waiting. Boooyyy they did notI disappoint! We ordered a waffle, some type of biscuit, and the avocado toast. All delicious. My husband ordered a latte that was very good and the fresh squeezed orange juice - wow!! For my drink, I ordered off the Naturals, Golden Tumeric latte. This is not a sweet drink, all natural flavors, (so I would recommend more honey if want it sweet) hints of ginger, don't really taste the black pepper but you feel good about your drink for your body! The inside is warm & dark. Since they are pretty popular, they get busy, so noise levels are not somewhere one could relax and read a book. It's more of a, get together with friends and catch up or simply people watch from the seats by the wall. Outside seating is available too. Needless to say from my pictures, we've been back and will again soon.”
“Food quality was fantastic. Food was flavorful, just delicious! They came out to cater my daughters birthday party, they had options for the little ones and they all loved it. They were on time and their set up was impeccable. They matched the theme of the party which I thought was fantastic on their part. Everything was just amazing. Thank you again toscos la piedad for such an amazing experience.”
“I was extremely surprised by how sweet and well the young girl who attended me at drive thru was. I will now make sure this is my new spot for breakfast before work, much better hospitality than others around. Good job! Of course, the burrito I grabbed was good also, could just use a tad more salt, but not an issue.”
“Service was excellent and kind.
Requested the burger add breakfast burrito to be cut in half. Chef fulfilled with a smile.
Food was delicious
restaurant very clean
As well as bathrooms
Ten out of ten with more than ten drink selections.
Can't wait till next time
Thanks you R burger”
“Great place! Chill and friendly atmosphere. I was glad to see they serve nopales on their Aztec tacos. Nopales are very healthy, nutritious, and delicious, but sadly, not many places offer them. That’s part of what sets this place apart.
Also, the service was outstanding! 👍🏼 They made me feel very welcome there.
I’d say both the food and service are 5 stars. I don’t live in the area, but if I did it would be my go to lunch spot.”
“This place is so cool. With it's eccentric decorations to mismatched table and chair compilations, I felt absolutely at home here. Definitely my style. The atmosphere is cozy, comfortable and unique. The decor was pleasing and inviting. Our bartender was very friendly. Since I stopped drinking, I am always on the hunt for a good n/a beer. They have a huge selection of non alcoholic beer. I was impressed because most places only have 1 selection. Sank down in my comfy armchair and relaxed. I am not from Riverside, but visit often and I will definitely make this place a regular stop. Very cold ac on a hot summer day!”
“We had the chupe de camaron (shrimp chowder), platanos frito (fried plantains), and the pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) and it was all delicious. The server was so attentive and quick even though she was serving five tables alone. The cook in the back was also on point because we didn't end up waiting for our food as long as I thought, considering how busy it was. Super clean and comfortable. I didn't give it a 5, only because it was a tad pricey for casual dining. Excited to try the arroz chaufa (fried rice) next.”
“i ordered the egusi with beef and fufu and it was sooo yummy! it’s really tasty i think a lot of people would like it. i was so happy to see that there is a west african cuisine so local to me!! the owner is so kind, you can tell that she makes her food with love too. support small businesses!!! im definitely coming back again :)”
“The BEST food ever! The craft cocktails were on point! Definitely one of my new favorite places to go!”
“Ordered online and it was ready when I got there. Fast and friendly service. Since I was driving I asked for everything on the side so nothing was soggy. This is also great for those in your family that only want it a certain way. You can order a large and each person can make it how they want without paying for 2 sandwiches.”
“I came in for a cocktail with friends last week and Lucas took care of us. He was attentive and knowledgeable, drinks were also fantastic. I cant wait to come back!”
“Indulge in the delectable flavors of India at this exceptional restaurant offering an authentic dining experience like no other.”
“Awesome foods always fresh, peking duck is our fam favorite’s 😋👍”
“Brought my grandkids here and they loved it.. friendly employees and very courteous.. Awesome food!!!🍤 🍚🍗”
“Best spot hands down😮💨🤤came in hung over & left feeling brand new & ready to start day drinking again🫡😎la campachana & oyster shots hit the spot, thank you & you definitely made our day, we will be coming back soon”
“Came here 2 days ago for the 1st time, & I enjoyed my fresh food, and had a great time with my kids! We enjoyed a pleasant atmosphere, the setting is tropical nicely covered in plants and bright inside. It’s a kid friendly restaurant that’s for sure waitresses are super friendly, & we’re welcoming of my kids! Unlike other places that can have less temp. With kids, & make u feel uncomfortable immediately! Since we really enjoyed it, we are now back on a Saturday & we are hungry looking forward to new foods. I definitely recommend the fish tacos and the tacos al gobernador 10/10 for both of those two tacos 👌😌 keep up the great work Islas”
“Great place to eat sushi;) nice and clean place. They have sushi Special and happy hours Monday -Thursday night time ;)”
“Diana did an amazing job on my daughter’s custom birthday cake! It was exactly what we had imagined. She took the time to go over what details I wanted in the cake. And everyone absolutely loved the flavors and texture. I highly recommend Isabella’s Cupcakes to celebrate that special occasion.”
“The Olive Garden restaurant across from the Tyler Mall in Riverside: We enjoy good food, a pleasant atmosphere, and economical pricing. Service is almost always efficient and responsive to our needs and requests. Can't help but love dining there!”
“The service was amazing. The cooks were fast and the food was amazing!!! I highly recommend, especially if you want hibachi. Best hibachi spot ever! Worth every penny👍😁”
“Sushi was really good. It was a Friday night and service was fast. The only complaint is their mandatory tip that they charge all their customers. I don't like this practice. Raise your prices and pay your servers more. If it's mandatory, it is not a tip! Even worse, they didn't bring me an itemized receipt showing the tip was already paid. They just have the total price (which already includes 15%) and then leave a line for a tip and total. Horrible business practice! Luckily for me, I look out for things like that. I'm sure they get many suckers who tip more than they wished to on accident.”
“Love their sandwiches, I get a smoked turkey on squaw bread with honey mustard and it's the bomb. When you buy 2 bean mixes they give you a ham hock for free that is normally loaded with meat. Love their member deals too. We once ordered a feast from someone whose family was in need and they said it was phenomenal.”
“loved it. whats not to love. Great food while i shopped. kids loved it. And its not mcdMcDonald’s”
“Food was great: fresh guacamole, beef chimichanga, pork tacos and steak tacos. All had great flavor and texture. Beautiful, freshly prepared, service was friendly and fast. Pricey, but worth it overall. We do not order floofy drinks so I cannot speak to that; we ordered draft beer, but food was high quality. Would recommend.”
“100% recomendado😉👍 la comida muy rica y la meserita Zuleima muy atenta🤗”
“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.”
“The food is delicious and the staff are great. We've ordered many dishes and we've never been disappointed. A few of our favorites dishes are the Eggplant Vegetables, Mongolian Beef, Chop Suey, Garlic Shrimp, Egg rolls, Dumplings as well as Wonton& egg drop soups. It's all delicious. It's all delicious! The Head Chef has years of experience as does the owner Karen & her right hands Em & Sooki. Guaranteed you will leave the place happy and satisfied. AAA PLUS. P.S. My family & I been enjoying Monarch Bistro for many years.”
“For any event this is where I start. Madd has great food and selection. I even ordered their family meals during COVID.”
“1. Food - Gumbo, lacking a little bit of flavor this time around but still good.
Peruvian Bowl - classic, always good, packed with flavor, perfect blend of sweet/savory/spicy. Will always be a favorite.
2. Service - Cory (sp.) was our server today, excellent service. He even made a trip to the kitchen to get my husband a bigger spoon for his Gumbo. 🤣
3. Wait time / atmosphere - Overall pretty clean; seating time on a Saturday afternoon was about 10 minutes for my party of 2. There was a mix up with another party of two having the same names but no biggie.
Wait time for food was not bad at all. We were in an out within the hour. Food portions are huge; always have leftovers.”

“Edit....
Spoke with Eric. All is good. Happy hour on Friday might be changing!
As a long time customer... but new to the downtown location...was kinda upset to hear that happy hour is only until 5pm. Luckily I was able to get at least one in before the happy hour ended. Suggestion... make happy hour either longer or different hours!!!”

“Kids are always excited to visit john’s incredible pizza place. We all enjoy the buffet and food can sometimes be a bit of a hit or miss with availability of food options but it’s nice to have something to eat while the kids have fun with all the rides and games available for them to enjoy! We also at times join the fun in bumper cars or the spinning ride thing! Their are some wait times for the rides but its not a big deal! Overall like any attraction establishment the price is high per person but you do get endless buffet while you visit there!”
“🤤 FAV ALL YOU CAN EAT SPOT IN RIVERSIDE. BEEN GOING HERE FOR YEARS. ALWAYS SATISFIED. GOOD PRICING.”
“We had the opportunity to visit the mission inn lounge both prior to and after our meal at the mission inn restaurant. Both Therese and Citlallina (unsure on spellings!) were great bar tenders. It was very busy and not only did they take care of us, but we watched as they served every patron with speed whenever they would come up. They were very busy with visitors due to all the traffic from the light festival. I as well as other patrons were checked on frequently. Very impressed and will be back and pass our great experience on to our friends in the area. We made sure to let the Bar Manager know and will be letting some…other people…know too…
Thank you so much!”
“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.”
“This place is definitely a must try! I’ve tried a few habachi places in the IE area and My Boyz Habachi is the best hands down. Their sauce is definitely that game changing touch that makes them different. Staff was courteous and food came out pretty fast, and the portion sizes are really big. Thanks guys!!”
“It an adorable place, the decor is lovely and the music is calming. Definently, recommend Le Moulin Rouge (salmon with creamy sauce crepe), it was delicious! We also had Desserts: Favorite crepe and Nutella crepe with strawberries. The strawberry tasted fresh sweet and sour which paired well with the sweet sauces.
My boyfriend and I will definitely becoming back.”
“Wonderful family restaurant with kind attentive staff! I cannot say enough things about their excellent food and drink! Amazing experience we will back again and again! Thank you for all the hospitality ❤️”
“Went here on the recommendation of a coworker and my son and I liked it. Despite what many have said, despite it being busy service was quick and polite. Sushi was very good for the IE, good rice ratio, tons of variety for ayce. Yes, they automatically add a tip depending on group size but it's reasonable. They were so good I added a few bucks more. Will be back.”
“Pretty good marisco spot aka Mexican seafood spot. They have really good food, shrimp cocktails, seafood towers, fish tacos, hardshell shrimp tacos, tostadas, ceviche and other goodies. Prices are pretty good for the fact that you're getting good delicious sea food. Their michelada prepared is really good you just need to get your own beer. If you're a fan of mariscos I'd check this spot out you won't be disappointed.”
“Mario Thompson was the perfect host and was amazing at explaining meals and choices to help in our meal selection. He selected a wonderful cab to go with our rib eye steak. We appreciate his great personality in making our dining experience special.”
“Found this gem when I fist moved here in march! Reasonable prices and quality of fish is good. I always sit at the sushi bar and the sushi chefs are always so nice and on top of it. Cajun salmon is delicious! Definitely recommend”

A few of our favorites dishes are the Eggplant Vegetables, Mongolian Beef, Chop Suey, Garlic Shrimp, Egg rolls, Dumplings as well as Wonton& egg drop soups. It's all delicious. It's all delicious!

My family & I been enjoying Monarch Bistro for many years.”
“Food was great: fresh guacamole, beef chimichanga, pork tacos and steak tacos. All had great flavor and texture. Beautiful, freshly prepared, service was friendly and fast. Pricey, but worth it overall. We do not order floofy drinks so I cannot speak to that; we ordered draft beer, but food was high quality. Would recommend.”
“My family and I love George’s, We tell all our friends and family about what a great place to eat it’s been for the last 25 years. I have never had a complaint until the last 3 months with my favorite chili cheese fries. Whoever is make the chili now is over doing it with the pepper 🌶️ It’s too hot and no enough chili for the mountain of fries Please go back to the original recipe and portion size. I would rather pay more and be able to enjoy flavor and enough chili to cover my fries. Thank you.”

“First time here and got to say had a great experience with a customer in there. I had seen him ordering and I asked him “which one was his favorite cookie “ and he told me then I proceed and order my own then he said” here let me put my number” I was like okay not knowing what he was doing then he said “ your good u just wait for them” I was shocked on how he paid for my order 🙏🏼 Im glad theirs still nice people out there. Didn’t really interact with the girls there they were too busy doing his big order.”
“When I crave cheesecake its this cheesecake, its fluffy like its name implies, and only mildly sweet. Perfect for pairing with fruit and other toppings. The service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is bright and inviting. If there's a lot of people there tends to be an echo that makes it a little noisy but its tolerable.”
“I recently ordered the quesabirria tacos, birria ramen and some large sides of beans and rice. The food is really good! My daughter loved the ramen, and my husband, who's picky about refried beans, was impressed. They put so much meat in the tacos that I could have made 2 more tacos. Even the ramen was loaded. Very good! I'll definitely go back”
“If you've not had a cafecito here you're missing out. We like to go on weekend mornings when we can. It's a nice place with a very relaxing vibe. If you know downtown Riverside, you know early on weekend mornings, the area is very laid back and empty from all the hustle n hustle around the courthouse buildings. I'm sure it's a nice spot to relax during the week, but whenever we get the chance to enjoy a latte and pastry on a weekend, this is the place for us. All the drinks and pastries are bomb.”
“This was my first time going here with my sister,cousin,daughter and neice. it was very nice we sat outside the noise was moderate but overall quite the surroundings was nice as well with all the lights and activities going on.The food was on point and so was the customer services. We will be going back.”
