    Bar tender who turned us away before closing time, but gladly served this couple past closing time. Horrible way to be treated!
    Laura G.

    I have never experienced such bad service. I guess it depends on the color of your skin whether they treat you well or not. My husband and I arrived about 15 m til 10 and were told they were no longer serving. A couple shows up past ten 10:08 to be exact and they were served with a smile, and I saw the gentleman pay the bartender. When I asked the bartender if they were still serving he lied and said that couple had been there for a while and just left and came back for their "already paid drink". What he didn't know was that we had been eating nearby for the past hour and knew that was not true! Attached a photo of the great bartender!

    The bartenders were super cool, extremely social brought us our drinks quickly and they tasted great! I especially enjoyed the service from Jose and Irwin they were super cool.

    Day 2 and already crushing it! Our bartender held it down solo for a few hours and still managed to make us feel like VIPs. Friendly, attentive, and pouring drinks like a pro! Thanks Jose! You a real one :)

    Brass Monkey is closed permanently. The space is empty. Beer Farm is still at food lab, and the sushi stall serves liquor based drinks

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved. What sets Urban Skillet apart before you even take a bite is the integrity behind the food 100% non-GMO, grass-fed, organic, and halal. You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

You can really see the effort with getting grass-fed beef along with avoiding seed oils in their cooking. Stepping inside the restaurant, it immediately took me as if we were in the wild west but elevated. It's really beautiful inside and very rustic. We went ahead and ordered the sirloin and the mac and cheese. Both were awesome. The sirloin had a chew, but was super juicy. It came out medium rare, just like what we requested. Loved the carrots and mashed potatoes that came with it. The chimichurri sauce was killer. The mac and cheese was a great starter and came with a lot of bacon in it. For dessert, the brownie with vanilla ice cream was fantastic. It wasn't too sweet and I loved the contrast with the hot brownie and cold ice cream. It's also gluten free! Service was super sweet. They all treated us well. We'll definitely want to be back when their menu changes. This is the type of restaurant that we would love to support.

I will admit this is a bit pricey but for special occasions or for visiting friends will def spend a little more for the experience. You can tell they put the extra money toward the fresh food.

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us? We were literally in the very center of the half booths lol. Eventually the male server came by and apologied for the wait and was very very attentive to us for the remainder of the time:) alsooooo the taco at The State Redlands are slightly bigger than these so i beleive the Redlands ones are more filling.

The bartender was dry and unfriendly - didn't reccomend anything and flung a QR code for us to see the menu. Not sure if it's a Riverside thing but he right away asked for a card to start a drink order. Weird. The dates were teeny tiny - like I've never had such tiny dates. Drinks were ok and the place is beautiful but I won't be back bc I wasn't welcome.

The food was absolutely amazing--every dish was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the main courses, each bite was a delight. The portions are huge too! We were all stuffed and still had plenty left over to take home for lunch the next day. No skimping here--generous servings that actually feel like a great value. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu inside and out. They made great recommendations and checked on us at just the right times without being intrusive. The whole team made us feel welcome and taken care of. If you're looking for fantastic food, massive portions, and excellent service, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend.

However, the waiter did not submit my order to the kitchen until 3:06 p.m. The cook subsequently refused to prepare the ham sandwich because the order was entered after the lunch cutoff time. I then spoke with the manager, Brian, who stated that he could not require the cook to prepare the sandwich. Rather than attempting to resolve the situation, Brian argued with me, belittled me in front of other patrons, and repeatedly emphasized that he had been doing his job for over 30 years. I found his conduct to be unprofessional, disrespectful, and unnecessary. The delay in submitting my order was entirely beyond my control, as I placed my order before the lunch service ended. Instead of focusing on finding a reasonable solution, Brian chose to degrade me publicly. I also felt that I was treated differently because I am a Black man. While I cannot know his intent, the manner in which I was addressed and treated left me feeling discriminated against and deeply disrespected. I am extremely disappointed by this experience. I expected courteous customer service and a reasonable effort to address a situation that was not of my making. Instead, I left feeling humiliated and undervalued as a customer.
