Absolutely love this place. The food was amazing and the garlic fries are to die for. Love the owner and the staff and would highly recommend going!! Perfect spot for UCR students to study and grab delicious food as well :)
Dang. I wanted to give this place a good review an a Friday night.To sum it up, the service was nice, the facility was clean, and the price is low.... Maybe too low.The food was terrible, the menu is boring, and creativity is trash.Basically bar food delivered by cisco foods... But be sure to water down the dressing to where it drops all over the table.This place is obviously trying to save money and it shows.They need a young fresh leader to take charge and make this incredible location a great money maker.Good luck!
It was very pretty, clean and the staff were very nice. I want to try more of their food before I judge it. I expected them to have caffeinated drinks but they just had tea and many cold drinks. Like juices, etc.
Just go to Starbucks... Husband and I arrived at 10.15am on a Saturday, no one in the restaurant except us and a family of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids). Waited for almost an hour, just for a breakfast sandwhich and a breakfast burrito. Long wait? That's because of "a large order ahead of you" - The one family of 5... Food quality same as a fast food place, service bad, decor very nice.Before we left, another table was told they couldnt get the breakfast potatoes they ordered (when it was breakfast menu), because now it was time for lunch menu.Just go to the Starbucks next door
I stumbled upon this place driving through the area and looking for something to eat. First thing I noticed was the layout. It seemed awkward at first. It's like a hybrid restaurant with fast food because you order from a cashier like fast food but then you sit like you are at a restaurant. The seating is tactfully separate from the cashier and kitchen in this vast spacious dining room. This is great for those seating inside but I felt bad that the cashier is also a server because she's this very sweet girl running around doing a lot. This is the first place I've found where pre tipping was good!! And if you know my reviews, this is a huge deal to me. And I did pretip but after seeing her work, I should have given her more. She did explain that they have a designated server on the weekends but it was considerably busy for there not to be. I enjoyed reading the history of the family that created this brand. It was interesting to see the pictures from various points in history.On to the burger. I actually like that they don't ask the doneness of the burger because often times I will downgrade an otherwise awesome burger simply because it didn't get served at the doneness I requested so kudos on that. It was a thick patty, cooked very evenly. Almost too evenly but it was tasty and juicy. I added a little of the mustard on the side for my fries and it was a good meal.
We love this place. The plant hamburger and the French fries are absolutely delicious.Everything in their menu is A plus.
I've lived in this area for three years and I'm so disappointed that I did not find this place sooner! Hands down they have the best burgers I have ever had. And the garlic fries are amazing! We also tried the double decker brownies that I insisted my fiance get his own because I thought I could eat a whole one. I was so wrong but we both enjoyed every single bite! And the ladies running the place are super friendly and the Customer Service is top-notch. Definitely my go to place from here on out.Oh....and the prices are super reasonable and the portions are really decent.
Ordered the bistro burger sans cheese, with the 1/2 side of garlic parm fries.Let's start with the fries. If they were just regular fries they'd be great! They were perfectly crispy on the outside with just the right amount of potato-y goodness on the inside. But as garlic parm fries? Couldn't even taste the parm, and the garlic was so minimal it might as well not have been there.The bistro burger was pretty decently sized for a 1/4lb burger, the bun was nicely toasted, and the lettuce and tomato were fresh, but that's about all the good I've got to say about it. The patty was well done, dry, and utterly devoid of flavor, the bacon was more like "hint of bacon" that added just a teeny bit of saltiness, and the red relish was just kind of there. The best way to describe it would be a sad burger you'd get late night at Carls Jr.Best burger in the inland empire this was not, and I could swear the middle aged woman at the counter was giving me odd looks for wearing a mask when I wasn't eating.
Greek salad is awesome! Plus, next visit when I needed something custom for health related Keto diet, Mariane was able to accommodate. That's TOP notch customer service and So appreciated. Will be back when in the area again!
Service is absolutely terrible. There was a younger girl when I originally ordered that wasn’t too bad just a little weird but when I went back to order more food a middle aged lady was helping me and she was so rude. She tried to make me feel d*** and she talked about me to the cook right in front of me instead of just talking to me. She brought my food out to me and dropped it and caught it in her hand AND PUT IT BACK IN THE PLATE AND SAID HER HANDS ARE CLEAN. I was disgusted. She charged me a a whole dollar for a small thing of cream cheese for my bagel and even said herself while ringing me up “we don’t normally charge for this so I’m going to ring It up as miscellaneous”… I wasn’t happy. Only decent serve was from the cook. He was polite.

Fantastic. Food is made fresh, it is delicious, and the family is really nice. They even brought out chicken for our dog with our meal. Come Saturday morning for the breakfast, its amazing.
I just discovered this local place that actually open during the pandemic and it is so amazing. I got us sandwich for lunch to take out and the grilled cheese with tomato and basil was such comfort food, but honestly the highlight was the side dish of pasta salad. So perfectly balanced and savory. Really classy. Not too salty not too vinegary… Please support this place
Excellent food and baked items. Would love to see them add some GF foods to the menu. Definitely worth a visit!
Met the owner Lisa, she is very kind and makes delicious croissants! My coffee and salad were excellent. I would recommend to a friend!
The service is AMAZING! The owners are very kind and the food is delicious!! I would highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try :)
