Garbage food and thug like staff work at this food stop. Security threatened me if I didn't leave the toilet because I plugged my phone into the bathroom outlet. Then the security was quickly joined by another thug punk sidekick. They made fun of me calling me weirdo for charging my phone and balling up his fist to leave the restroom. Security then continued to insult me because I didn't wash my hands which I tried doing when I arrived to the bathroom but was unable to being their was no soap to wash up with anyway. I'm called a dirty guy which I'm not at allI personally don't get satisfaction out of hurting anyone or anything. This is the cruel truth about riversides behavior toward people who are homeless or looking for anything as a courtesy such as water or electricity. It is illegal to be homeless in riverside so that makes me an outlaw. I'm treated like half a person and pushed from one area to another. People stare at me as if I have an arm growing out of my forehead. If I have personal belongings I'm only allowed one bag from my belonging and everything else is tossed into the garbage bin by code enforcement. Riverside has become something like a twilight zone episode and nothing like it was as a child for me. I don't choose to be homeless I just am. It's dangerous , lonely and sometimes very bizarre on the streets. Everyone for the most part is trying to hustle you for anything you have. Riverside has a scary hidden underground which would shock people so be careful when your visiting it!

Great hidden gem in Riverside. Lots of restaurants and a great staff. I love the pizza spot they have here and the chicken sandwich restaurant I don't remember the names. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends at night, but always a fun time.

The Riverside Food Lab is a nice place to visit, especially when you have a family that has a hard time choosing what type of food to indulge in. They have a food court type of atmosphere with food places like Baba’s Hot chicken, SoHo Ramen, Mi Vida Gorda, Monty’s Good Burger(plant-based), FuFu’s, Bricks and Birch pizza, and more. They also have an arcade for children and teens to venture off into while the orders are being prepared. Some of the restaurants provide you with a portable buzzer to notify you when your order is ready. Parking is available 90 minutes free and the fees are not too high for extra time.Vegetarian options: Many of the restaurants have vegan, vegetarian, and plant based options.Parking: Parking is free for 90 minutes.Kid-friendliness: Children and teens love eating and playing in the arcade area.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is flat surface for entrance with no need of ramps. Parking also has elevators.

From gourmet burgers and artisanal pizzas to exotic Asian fusion and decadent desserts, the options are endless. The vibrant atmosphere and communal seating make it the perfect spot to gather with friends and family for a delicious meal. Plus, the rotating lineup of food vendors ensures that there's always something new and exciting to try.

There is much to do in riverside but when your in downtown Riverside. Come to the Riverside Food lab they offer Ramen, Sherbet & a few bars that have happy hour. Thursdays are the best.

Honestly crowded and kinda wack. Food was sub bar. The chicken, pizza place and seafood place were all not very good. Super poor service at the beer spot, and had a bunch of beers out but didn’t update it on their menu. Kind of annoying to guess what you want 4 times to only get told, “yeah that’s out too”. Lame food hall overall. Riverside kind of sucks and is a little hood- bullet holes in street signs downtown, won’t be back.
