The Most Delectable New American in Riverside

The Low-Key Poke Joint

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"One of the better Poke joints I've been to! Was driving past this location on my way to a wedding and decided to stop by! The price for a regular was amazing! It also came with 3 protein choices. Unfortunately, they were out of salmon belly in the middle of the dayI ended up getting Octopus, Tuna, and Salmon with some Alohot sauce and the house sauce! Portions are decently big. You can definitely share this with someone else The inside was nice and big. Workers were attentive on trays and cleaning the table tops. I'll be coming back here again!"

Porter's Prime Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (176) • $$$

"My buddy and I both ordered the 22 ounce porterhouse steak. It was absolutely amazing! One of the best steak dinners I've ever had!"

Leo's Country Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (488) • $$

"Leo's Country Kitchen in Fontana exceeded our expectations! My mom and I enjoyed the clam chowder, garlic bread, avocado bacon omelette, hash browns, and pancakes--all delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was fast, efficient, and outstanding, with all staff working together seamlessly to keep things running smoothly. Coffee refills were always on time, which we appreciated. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service!"

"Ate here a couple times during our stay and everything we ordered was delish! Personal favorite is the kale salad w/ grapes and brussel sprouts. Chicken wings and burger were all cooked to perfection.10/10 for the ambiance. We always easily got a patio table w/ no wait, and the panoramic view of the lake is breathtaking! Servers and the manager are always so friendly and on point. We can't wait to stay at this hotel again it was a very lovely weekend."

Iron Skillet

★★★★☆ 4.2 (836) • $$

"Fantastic hidden gem for breakfast! Portions are big and the price is definitely right.We got seated right away in a large area and our waiter Enrique was attentive and very helpful making sure we had our hot coffee cups always full.This restaurant been in business and family owned for over 80 years... Ambience is a little old fashion but I love it! The place is big with lots of booth areas, so seating a big party will not be a problem.What I love the best is that all their food is freshly made daily with high grade ingredients, eYou can taste the difference.We had a family of four and we ate and have plenty of leftovers for the next day! the bill was still only $75.00. Impressive.Will definitely be coming back to this restaurant for more good food.Date of visit: January 2025"

8 Bit Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"8 Bit Brewing Company in Murrieta is doing something right.They have a great location right off of Jefferson Ave and Date St in Murrieta, just a few blocks west of the 15 freeway.The brewery has indoor and patio seating, and can accommodate many guests making it a perfect place for group outings and family gatherings. We stayed a few hours into the evening and got to sit near their fire pits, which were nice. It did get colder so I wish they had some of the heat lamps turned on near us.They have the typical gastropub offerings and a large selection of drinks. We ordered a variety of items from their menu and enjoyed snacking on all the dishes. I especially was impressed with the Chicharrones because it came out sizzling and warm, and it had a kick to it. Spicy and crunchy. Inside, they have an arcade including pinball machines for all ages. To play any of the games, you'll need to purchase a game card and load points onto it. They have a machine that can guide you through the process. Similar to Dave & Busters or Round1 cards.The service could have been handled better when we arrived. Long story short, we stayed in the hostess's view near the pinball machines while we waited for our party's patio seating. Somehow they "gave up our seats" to another party because we didn't come fast enough after they sent out the notification text. Mind you, we came within 3 minutes after because we were in the arcade but most of our party were still seated near the hostess stand. Anyway, we eventually were seated in the patio after an additional 10 minutes. The only weird thing the hostess asked us was if we were going to be making food purchases, as if it were a requirement to be given patio seats. And the answer was: of course! (That's what we came to do: eat, stay, play, and drink!) We ordered inside because the kids were hungry - that doesn't mean we weren't going to order again after we sat down.Overall, despite the service we received with just trying to get seated, 8 Bit Brewing Company checks off all the goods: good for all ages, great for groups and families, good drinks, good food, and lovely atmosphere. A decent 3.8 but I'm rounding my rating to a 4 because we had a great time."

Carol's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (131) • $$

"I came on a Sunday. They have live music on the patio. I didn't get to try the food but I did take a look around stay tune for Update #CastleTheme."

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Date/time: December 21, 1:00pm Well this was a pleasant experience with the best tasting food I've had in a long timeSnapshot: Food - perfect Service - excellent Ambiance - wonderful! Let me explain First, there was a guy outside who was slangin lemonades and gift cards and he got me on the lemonade! Not only was he cool to talk with but he convinced me to buy a huckleberry lemonade with my order inside so job well done! Upon entry we were immediately greeted with beautiful smiles and a seat in a roomy area with great lighting. We immediately noticed and roomy, clean, and eye-catching everything was. Shortly after our waiter (a respectful and kind young man) greeted us and took really good care of me and my mom. Also, when we had questions, he made sure to answer them all in detail and even gave his personal opinion on a few menu items. He had a great smile and warm energy. I ordered a grilled Idaho trout with fries on the side to start us off and my mom ordered their cheeseburger. Let me just say that this - every single item on our plates was amazing. I'd go back just for the fries alone - but now I have to go back and try so many more things. I recommend this place on the service and food alone! If we weren't so full - we would have had to try a dessert item but that's for next time All in all this was such a great time and this location and staff won us over. We will definitely be back and we definitely recommend Lazy Dog to anyone considering!"

Wine & Tale

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"This is a cute wine bar. Had a chance to visit during their soft opening. The owner and staff are extremely nice. Service was great. I love the vibe. They have a good variety of local and international wine selection. There are some they don't sell by the glass though. I was looking for a Syrah and they have one but only by the bottle. My go-to was the Valderba Tempranillo 2021. I really liked that one that I had three glasses. I also liked the Siete Fincas blend. They do have wine on tap, good for those who want chilled wine.They have a pretty big menu for food. I only got the charcuterie but the other food did look good. This part of the shop is 21+. But if you have kids and want to have glass of wine you can sit at popping yolk next door or sit outside on their patio. I don't live in the area but I'll definitely be back!"

Esri Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (35) • $

"First, ESRI is a business and most of the patrons at the restaurant are employees. We felt very out of place and wondered if we were allowed to be there.But, the food is wonderful. we all had something different and shared our meals. Each of us liked all of the food in our group. It was wonderful.I should also add that our group had a vegetarian, lactose intolerant celiac, and a gluten-free pescatarian. Finding restaurants can be a nightmare, but this diversity of options made this EASY.Plus the price was totally reasonable. I'll definitely come back, maybe try breakfast next time."

"Here for the Midget wrestling and the Midget wrestling only lol. It's a great fun night it's turning into an annual thing. My daughter n her bf and here with me for their first time."

The Restaurant at Ponte

★★★★☆ 3.8 (659) • $$

"Fantastic food combined with outstanding service is what awaits you at the Restaurant at Ponte. This was by far the best meal I've had this year and the best dinner experience I've had in a long time. We stopped in for dinner while celebrating a quick anniversary getaway at the resort, and wasn't expecting too much from the small patio restaurant on property. I was blown away by the caliber of cooking that is going on here. I'll try to keep it brief.We started with the mussels and a bottle of their Verdicchio 2022, which paired nicely. The red curry and coconut used in the broth was a great touch, elevating a somewhat mundane dish into a delectable appetizer. This was a great dish. We opted to split the Beef + Risotti entree because we had already eaten some small bites from their Cellar lounge. They actually brought out two individual plates of our entree, with portions that were certainly larger than a single entree. That's the kind of pro-active service that is missing in so many restaurants these days and it was greatly appreciated. More so because the dish was fantastic. The texture of the risotto paired with the mushroom sauce was sublime, completely upstaging the fall apart short rib and perfectly cooked green beans. If the mussels were a great dish, this one was near perfect for me. We don't usually order dessert but felt compelled to try the souffle, more so to verify the quality of their execution. Unsurprisingly, it was perfectly flaky and gooey and delicious. Needless to say, we enjoyed a fantastic anniversary dinner here. There are undoubtedly more things that I like about this place, but you really need to come try it for yourself. The Ponte Vineyard Inn is a beautiful property with many great features, and the Restaurant at Ponte might just be their best one."

Heroes Restaurant & Brewhouse - Eastvale

★★★★☆ 4.2 (508) • $$

"This restaurant is massive, just like the portion sizes they serve. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with sports playing on TVs all around.Service is solid--I usually get seated quickly, and they're prompt with taking orders. The food is classic American, and it never takes long to arrive.The food is generally good. I came here mainly during breakfast and lunch. Be sure to come hungry, for the portions are enormous, and be prepared to take leftovers home.My only gripe is the noise level; it's way too loud, which takes away from the overall dining experience."

Famous Dave's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (47)

"Delicious corn bread! Clean dining and friendly staff.Quick awesome service.Best BBQ chicken and brisket!"

Caprice Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (688) • $$$

"I've been a customer for the past 10 years! I can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant. If first sentence is not proof of the good food, excellent service and chill vibes, here are more details. During our latest visit I had the Pesto Pasta with Salmon. It's my go to dish and hubby also had grilled pasta meal. Both dishes were good and flavorful. The bread with olive oil is always a nice addition to any meal. The food is always consistent here and so is the service. If you're looking for a great date spot in Redlands, checkout Caprice. You won't be disappointed!"

Dog Haus Biergarten

★★★★☆ 3.8 (263) • $$

"Food was better than ever expected. A definite new favorite place in Eastvale. The hot fries missing from my photo were my favorite side. If I had to pick between all three dogs The Fonz was my choice. Staff was friendly great service. The ambiance and music defiantly kept us there longer. A definite must try!"

Meritage At Callaway

★★★★☆ 3.5 (484) • $$

"It's been years since I ate at Callaway's Meritage restaurant. Gorgeous views, beautiful property overall. The restaurant is covered patio seating with large windows that give a great vineyard view facing west. We were there on a Tuesday, which was a low crowd day and perfect weather! Service was excellent! Margarita pizza was yummy! We used our SIP Temecula passes to grab a glass of wine from the tasting room before heading over to the restaurant, finished that glass and ordered another glass at the restaurant! I chose a white wine, so I can't offer any comment on whether their reds have improved from when we last tasted here years ago. White was good (probably a viognier, I can't remember). They don't have air conditioning, so be aware if planning to dine on one of Temecula's blistering hot summer days. They do have heaters, though I could not tell you how well they work to keep you warm on our sometimes cool winter weather. We chose the perfect day to have lunch here and it was very nice!"

Boston's Restaurant & Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (159) • $$

"Our waitress Delena K Was super friendly and nice Very attentive checking in on us Food was great also pretty good prices If you get the sampler it good for about 3/4 people Great atmosphere to watch games / fights etc as it is kinda a bar Definitely would be back"

Las Islas Marias Mariscos

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (92) • $$

"Langostinos are a must at this place! I've been to this place twice and Langostinos are the best thing on the menu guaranteed. Caldo Mendigo had an interesting flavor but I was super full. My grandma had a mojarra frita and it was a bit bland. The chips and salsa is something I recommend that you slow down on. They're addicting. I also had a tostada de Aguachile con Camarón y callo. Agua de Horchata was refreshing. The quality of service is great. Our waitress was super attentive."

Flame Broiler

★★★☆☆ 3 (101) • $

"I am a regular at this location and realized that I have not given this establishment a review that they deserve. My family and I love the healthy way the dishes are prepared at this Flame Broiler. Portions that are given are to our satisfaction. Flame Broilers at different locations are a bit stingy when it comes to giving portions of chicken or beef, but this location gives a good portion and you feel like you are getting your money's worth. Another plus at this location is that when you order by phone, your order is always correct. This place is located in the shopping area of Pats Ranch in Jurupa. There is ample parking and the restaurant itself is clean and of course no in dining due to Covid. The staff, Robia, Ayesha, and Ruby, are very friendly and treat you like family. I highly recommend the place if you want healthy meals to eat."

Cosmo Restobar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (569) • $$

"They have tons of events weekly, live music , lounge nights and can book private events. DEFINITE HOT SPOT"

Pomona Valley Mining Co

★★★☆☆ 3.4 • $$$

"The views are so pretty! I've been here many times and the food is typically pretty good. I got the fillet and prime rib. All entrées come with the soup and salad bar. I wish they had more options when it came to soup. They only had a few. I would definitely like to see more variety. They have a good size bar to have a cocktail while you wait to get sat. Definitely recommend requesting to sit by a window the views of the city are really pretty it's definitely perfect for celebrating something or going out with friends or date night."

Cafe Sole

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (44) • $$

"Wow! I'm so impressed by this restaurant! Located inside Glen Ivy Hot Springs, I honestly thought they'd serve sub par food at ridiculously high prices since, you're already at the spa and you have no choice but to eat there, like any amusement park, but no, the food's reasonably priced for the amount you receive, and it's all delicious. All the food's brought in from local farmers, keeping it fresh, healthy and reasonably priced. Their theme is Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It's all made to order and you pick from three different stations. They have a special everyday. The day I went it was pho.There's a sandwich station that includes soups, and pasta w/marinara as a side dish. There are also pizzas, calzones, tacos, and huge wonderful salads. The salads are $12 - $16 but they are massive, I kid you not, as big as a head of lettuce, enough to share and then some. Seared ahi tuna salads, chicken, blackened wild salmon, etc. The first time I ate here I had the greek special w/gyro meat on pita bread w/yogurt, very tasty. The second time I had the tacos. You get three w/a choice of shrimp, wild salmon, beef or chicken. I had a salmon, a shrimp and a beef. All came w/cilantro sauce, and some other seasoning. Wasn't a big fan of the salmon w/dill.. the meat was very firm like it was marinated in something, sweet. The beef and shrimp ones were delicious. I couldn't help myself and also got a fresh oatmeal cookie, sooo good! There's also yummy potato chips, haagen daaz ice cream bars and specialty drinks. It's nice to know you can have a wonderful meal as you pamper yourself at this spa!"

Toast Murrieta

"Great Vibe Good Food and Great People .. Paul, Maya and Ian are amazing! I absolutely will return! We just experienced eating at the bar and it was so much fun!"

Kelsey's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (407) • $$

"A nice, casual spot to grab a beer, a good meal and a game. Although they do have a huge private table available, if you need a more social space. The restaurant's vibe is warm and casual. We sat in a table in the open but there are some softer, more private booth seating available. We had the fried pickles which were wedges and not slices as we expected. The Margherita pizza was simple with a thinner crust and the Reuben was good, although it had the be re-made. The service was a little slow and not as friendly as other venues in the resort but still a good spot for an easy meal."

Blackstone

★★★★☆ 3.9 (67)

"This is my second time here for brunch. Both meals were incredible, as was the service and and atmosphere. Corona hasn't had a place like this, what a gigantic blessing to have such a special spot to spend quality time with as someone with decadent food! The mascarpone French toast is insane, the flight of eggs benedict (I heard) was delicious, the steak and eggs - perfection. The wait staff is also perfectly dialed in, professional, warm, gracious and timely.Today we were in the amazing hands of Mayra F, she was an expert on the menu and so organized. She made it look effortless, though I know she was super busy with the full house. Make a reservation, this place is the brunch crown of Corona!"

The Grill At the Antlers Inn

★★★★★ 4.5 (664) • $$$

"High key, this place is delish. Great service. Mountain ambiance and located right on the main road between 18 and Lake Arrowhead. Make a reservation cuz it has a more intimate setting; seating is limited. They have a full bar and great wine selection"

Haven Haus Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (285) • $$

"Such a cute hidden gem for brunch in Old Town! Decided to treat one of my best friends to a birthday brunch and this was the spot she chose. The establishment is super aesthetically pleasing and the decor is super cute. Parking is typical for Old Town, either street parking or the parking garage down the street. The menu has a lot of different options that honestly all sounded amazing. I opted for the crunchy French toast/churro style with bacon/ or sausage and eggs and my girlfriend one of the Benedict's. We both loved our food. The French toast I got was some of the best French toast I've ever had. The menu pricing is also very fair, not overpriced at all. Customer service was really good, our server was super sweet. I can't wait to come back and try other things on their menu sometime soon."

Our Place Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (104) • $

"Been reading on a local MoVal FB page (the local one everyone living there is on), that a lot people go here for breakfast or to meet there - locals & local organizations. Finally got a chance to go in.Keep in mind, it's been there for a very long time, and it might appear dated, but that's its charm, an old school diner the seniors go to every day and gets crowded on the weekends. The owner was nice to us and served us fast. It was a weekday late morning so it was a little empty but we actually loved it. Food was good, nice portions and he was very attentive checking on us. This place reminds me of the Sun City Family Restaurant in Menifee, a popular place with the senior & families. And so Moreno Valley has the same sentimental restaurant as well.We'll be back!"

Tommy's Burgers

"First time back here since the ownership change. Got my normal double cheeseburger combo. It was good and didn't disappoint. Fries were fresh, and they brought my food out pretty quickly. Place was also clean."

Luke's On Front

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"I was able to try this wonderful establishment for a friend's surprise birthday party, The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good and the food was great. Everything tastes fresh for a buffet party style. They didn't let food just sit, they would put just enough out to not get cold and the steaks were cooked tender and juicy. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't live close by, I would go there again. So if you're ever in the area, give them a try and enjoy!!!"

Violet Rooster

★★★★☆ 4 (502) • $$

"Met some friends for an early breakfast to catch up on this MLK Day holiday. Seated immediately and had a cup of coffee in minutes. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and service was fast (my coffee cup was never empty). This is a great place to chill and chat with friends over a large tasty breakfast. Five stars all the way."
