50 Best Burger Restaurants in Riverside

“Excelentes hamburguesas las mejores de California“

“you guys need to turn up the grill . I just got a burger and it was very pink . van buren In N out love the burgers when cooked enough.“

“This R burgers is just as great at the other 2 locations I have visited. The food was perfection. I felt bad for arriving 30 min before closing time but the drive thru employee was so sweet and generous. I got the R 3 pack and the R family pack, everything was delicious 😋❤️“

“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.

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.“

“Bomb 💣!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Andy was awesome and took care of us!“

“This is your typical burger / pancakes / fried fish / literally everything joint, common in California. It’s like they all use the same copy/paste formula and have the same disorganized gigantic menu that offer everything from a fried fish sandwich to pancakes / eggs whether is breakfast time, or dinner time.

Food is not bad, nothing to scream about either. Hits the spot if you know what you’re getting, or if you are extremely hung over.“

“Who doesn’t like Tommy’s?“

“been 4 years since I've had Nikkos burger original owners husband wife duo“

“My most favorite burger joint! My husband & I go once or twice a week. Everyone who works there is so kind & friendly & all the food that we order is always hot & fresh. They always give generous portions for a good price. & We love that there is so much to choose from on the menu. Still havn't tried everything yet lol. Goldstar has a great atmosphere & I look foward to coming everyweek. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! ??“

Very satisfied and the service was great. Pleasant friendly teammembers. Their Rs burger special was amazing. Served fast and hot. I went back 2 more times same week. Yup its a great burger spot for sure.“

“I think they should open the dining room“

“I had an amazing experience at Urban Skillet! The Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese was absolutely delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy, the buffalo chicken had the perfect spicy kick, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavor combination was outstanding and the portion size was great too. Definitely one of the best comfort meals I’ve had. Highly recommend trying it!“

“buena atención y calidad en sus platillos“

“I come here for the food not the looks. THIS IS THE BURGERS IVE EVER TRIED IN MY LIFE. I’m never eating burger from anywhere else. My wife said The chicken sandwiches were the crunchiest chicken sandwiches she’s ever had and they were very tasty. Fries were on point as well.“

“I honestly love this place! I was just there right now to order some zucchini fries and hands down of the best I’ve ever had! Staff always friendly and keep in mind if wait ever then it’s usually because they’re getting mass amount of orders coming in during lunch and dinner times, but the do work fast even in those times! Also best burgers in my opinion! Love y’all! 💯👊🏻🙂 - Chadwick!“

“This place hits every freaken time!! It’s so crazy because you walk in with such kind workers too!! I’ve never had a bad experience here for the 2times I went. (Wishing I can go more often but it’s far from me) They are beyond amazingness and honestly this place is sooo underrated. 10/10 FOOD &! 10/10 SERVICE!! Thank you Central Five Guy WORKERS!!! I love you!!! Sorry not sorry but someone had to say it 🤷🏽‍♀️ . They truly deserve more then 5stars “No Exaggeration”“

“Picked up an online order. Parking was atrocious. It took a minute to get someone to help me when I walked in, but no biggie. Food was good, still warm when I got home 12 minutes later. Burgers were messy and the sweet potato fries were old, but it was late. I'd go again“

“nice place to have a burger, been there several times.“

“No lines at midnight, fast good food“

“great food“

“Joyce Burgers is great. Very low key in here so exactly the kind of independent place I love. I ordered the family pack of 4 cheeseburgers 4 fries and 4 drinks of and an order of zucchini is $46 which is a great deal in my opinion.

Check them out if you like diner style food of any kind.“

“Best hamburgers meal here i love the ranch with fries great service i always come back here i come 1 a week“

“Had a really good experience at this location compared to other Carl's . One employee Charlene Cardenas went above and beyond that I gotten everything I order correctly. She also kept the inside looking great and smelling good and clean . The extra time she took to make sure my child had a clean high chair was very thoughtful.“

“the only place I know where you can still get an Orange Julius.“

“R Burgers is good but c’mon already with the incredible shrinking burrito! That carne asada burrito used to be so big I could only eat half of it. They’ve shrunk it down so much it looks like a kids meal burrito! Charge a couple bucks me more and make it a little bigger for goodness sake!“

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

“Drive thru the drive Thur .it was 💣“

“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.“

“The Best!! We stop in Sunday. We haven't been there in over 30yrs, They are Still the best!!!“

“I was just here I would give this place five stars, but I’m only giving it four because as I took my child here and went to use the bathroom there is no soap and when I asked them, she said they’re out of soap which is the same bathroom that the employees use, which means nobody is washing their hands because they’re all out of soap. That’s pretty unsanitary and you’re serving ice cream.“

“Great delicious hamburgers . Way better than IN N OUT.“

“Muy rico todo lo que venden ay me gusta mucho el chiken diner y las hamburguesas.“

“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.“

“I think they should open the dining room“

“The service and cooking is great“

“when we were able to dine in service is great, felt comfortable eating there“

“buenísimas me atasque 3 y ni deje nada“

“Staff is courteous, helpful and kind when I go in with my severely autistic grandson, who is prone to having meltdowns, and the women's bathroom is always clean (as is the rest of the restaurant).“

“in door dinning now let's go“

“This is the best sandwich ever!!!“

“Love this place! The perfect spot to get a quick and delicious meal or snack to go or to eat in!“

“Everyone is awesome and the food is on pointt“

“Every time I come here I’m always shown to a table right away if my friends decided on Applebees for the nights dinner we always enjoy the specials and especially the drink specials they always have something new and at a good price. Our service was quick and food was hot the place always feels clean. I always stick to this Applebees location cause I know I’ll have good service here.“

“The place had seating with views of the street. Food was fast and well cooked. Soda tasted like Coka-Cola and fries where frying. At the time I was there it might of been lunch hour for most of the Government building and staff so it was a bit crowded we found seating right of way.“

“Great service of Barbara.thanks so much for your time.“

“I drive all the way here from living right next to the dos Lagos location. Because they have the house ranch. I have been looking for years and stopped going to all carls jr unable to find this ranch. Thank you Victor for offering the sauce and being a great staff memeber if you wouldn't have said anything I wouldn't be a regular!“
