“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“We love this place. We moved local to this bar a few months ago, and we discovered they have trivia! The trivia host, Danie, is so great. We always have a good time, the food is soooo good, and the servers (especially Sam and Hannah) are the best!“

“Great service and Good food!!! Good combination for a great experience. I will be going back .“

“1st time. Excellent Food and Service. Will be back when in the area. Thank you, Linda from San Diego“

“Me and my kids love going here. The vibes are great and friendly staff.“

“The food is good. My wife had the Fajita baked potato and I had the pork chop dinner. Everything was really good. Our server was very attentive and nice. We have also been here for breakfast when it is extremely busy and our experience was the same friendly staff, good food, clean restaurant. I like the small town feel you get here.“

“Delicious food and very friendly staff“

“Stopped in on our way up to Vegas and this place was a great find. Friendly staff, a huge menu, and a fun, busy décor that adds to the vibe. I had the fried chicken biscuit with gravy and it was legit. My wife’s Nashville chicken sandwich was also spot‑on. Everything came out hot and flavorful. Definitely a solid stop if you’re passing through and want good food with great service.“

“Been to this place several times the food is amazing! Loved our servers they are on it. Prime rib sandwich was my favorite. They have the idol karaoke competition, which was so fun to watch! They have very talented singers. All of them were very good. I do say it does get very crowded so be prepared if you guys go to get there early to get good seats! Love how many people supported everyone involved! The girl that won first place was amazing. She made me cry. She has a voice of an angel. Second place winner was very close. And third place he did very well as well. This was overall a great competition. I feel like it gets better and better!“

“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 friendly staff and great food. Portions are large and they don’t hold back on the quantity of chicken they use. I had a chimichanga and it was loaded with yummy tasting chicken. It was delicious!!!“

“A large public space where you can spend your time and eat, drink, study, and hang out with friends. There was much to do here and there were many resources offered when visiting the Highlander Union Building. Check this place out whenever you head over to UC Riverside!“

“Try the Friday evening pasta bar, it's the bomb! Their biscuits are the best too.“

“Food was awesome 🤩 ❤️🎈🎊🎉🎈😂😊🎊🎈“

“Picked up lunch and it did not disappoint! The ABC specialty burger was well seasoned and expertly assembled - perfect bite of cheddar, creamy avocado, crispy bacon, juicy tomato, and red onion. The fries were really tasty as well. The star of the show: the chocolate mosaic cake- it was rich but not too overwhelming or sweet. Such a satisfying meal. Thank you!“

“best breakfast in Riverside County, worth the short wait!“

“Bomb 💣!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“What a treat it was to dine at a Brand New, immaculate dining establishment!! Today was my 1st visit to my local Dennys Diner. My server, Alejandra was a Gem! Provided more than just Great service. Provided a friendly environment to enjoy my breakfast in. The entire staff is AMAZING! Watching them interact amongst themselves, this place truly felt like dining at Home! I highly recommend coming in and experiencing what ive experienced!!!“

“The absolute best breakfast burrito in my book! I taste the quality in their ingredients. I always ask for both their pico de gallo and taco sauce, both are very tasty.

Other of my favorite items are

Carne asada salad with pico de gallo as the dressing. Carne asada is prepared unlike any other place and its underrated. A taco or burrito is a good choice too.

Greek chicken salad. They have chosen the best feta cheese, olives, and dressing. Plus their grilled chicken is top notch tasty and fresh.

Cant go wrong with anything in their menu. Their ingredients and staff are 🙌👍🤝👌👌🫃🤰“

“I feel very good here and will come again in the future.“

“They know how to cook it up“

“Food is yummy and the staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“THIS is the place. Great beer , amazing people and delicious food. I can recommend this place more. The owners Tom and Eric care so much about their product and community. Tito is such a friendly face and always offering up great suggestions if you’re not sure what to order. Good vibes, beer and people are the move.“

“We had the grilled chicken asian salad, amazing flavors. Ordered light on the dressing and it was perfect. With the 2 for $25 special including an appetizer, was way more than enough. We actually only ate 1/2 the salad and had the rest the next day. Delicious! And made it even that much more reasonable.“

“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“

We truly love this place!“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

“First time eating at and Urbane Cafe today! I was not disappointed, the place was super clean, the staff was so friendly and very accommodating.

“Had a WONDERFUL time Fridays!!!!“

“Absolutely 100% amazing. Last time I ate here was 10 years ago. Was in the area, very hungry and super happy to say that the quality and taste was on point...Just as it was was 10 years. If you've never been, try it. Ordered the catfish, greens, mac and cheese combo. Hubby ordered the ribs & catfish combo with candied yams and baked beans“

“I ordered and paid online in advance in order to take advantage of the $7 off coupon. I was very disappointed that they didn't honour my coupon because I took a screenshot of it instead of downloading the app. When you are spending $100 on a ham, they should have given me the $7 off 😡“
