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!

I see that some idiots don’t understand that this is a PRACTICE FACILITY, and if you have a problem with coming here for a bad experience then SO WHAT. Don’t come here for the wishes of fine dining. ……. Don’t go to a barber college expecting to come out looking like Vidal Sassoon!
And don’t go to the culinary school expecting Ruth Chris! Give them a chance...read full review

The Riverside Community College Culinary Academy is a bustling restaurant, popular even on weekday afternoons. The menu offers a variety of options, from salads and pizza to tikka curry and broccoli beef. The attentive staff treats every diner like royalty, contributing to an exceptional dining experience. Future chefs are sure to emerge from this academy, as it is student-led, providing an opportunity to support the young culinary community.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday for breakfast and lunch, with limited dining times. The ambiance is casual, yet it has a more upscale feel than fast food. Customers have praised the restaurant's food, particularly the chilaquiles, French toast, and desserts. The meals offer great value, with gourmet quality at budget-friendly prices, often under $8.50.
While the table service can be a bit scattered and take longer than normal, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Diners are advised to arrive early, as some dishes, like the chile relleno, may sell out by noon. Many have made it a point to return, enjoying both takeout and dine-in options, and looking forward to the changing lunch menu each week.
