Salad with poppyseed dressing and sweet potato fries (gf/ celiac friendly)
Heyley S.

Celiac here! Visiting Riverside and ate here with family. It was delicious! I ordered a salad with poppy dressing and some sweet potato fries (random combo, but when there's a safe fryer.. you always get fries!) Super tasty *chefs kiss* There are more gluten free options, including proteins, I just wasn't super hungry. I definitely plan on trying more once I return to riverside.

Steak sandwich with grandmas Mac n cheese & hamburger with fries
Lizarely Q.

At first we thought this would be a sit down and someone will serve us but it's actually more of order and pay first then the food comes out to your table. It is a different menu so I really enjoyed that. I had the steak sandwich & my man had the hamburger with their house IPA. I had their cherry tart soda, sooo good! It does seem to get busy but it was good overall.

We apologize coming late in the evening. We had friends meeting up with us but we dined in late. food: chicken and beef plate. I forgot what the actual name of the plate but you can see in my pictures. What i really liked about this meal and the menu looks good and clean. The food not only taste amazing but filling and clean. We are gearing up for a spartan race and I would come back to this place if i was in town. Service: you order at the counter, then they will bring it to your table. Ambiance: rustic clean, lots of tables and some tv to watch some sports. parking: plenty on both sides.

This place had great reviews, so my BF took me here for dinner. It's conveniently located in the canyon Crest town center. The food seemed schizophrenic, the Internet said the food was American, but then they had seasonal Japanese menu, and they had empanadas which seemed latin and then they had vegetarian food, but also had burgers and steaks, it was a bit confusing. I paid 15$ o and only got a small sandwich, no sides included and my BF said the rice in his thai dish was very gummy. I don't think we'll be going back. There is a beautiful courtyard, so enjoy dining al fresco!

Came by for casual dinner. Clean and organized inside. Friendly staff and great food selection to choose from. Surf n Turf plate was delish and the steak sammich, I heard was good too. You get what you pay for. Gluten friendly!

Curry chicken rice bowl with the cauliflower! Gluten free cookies and hard kombucha.

I LOVE their gluten free options! so many warm delicious foods options! they even have gluten free cookies and hard kombucha if your in need of some treats after the savory stuff. very kind ppl and fast too.

I've been wanting to check this place out for forever now. Healthy, protein-centered plates and bowls that can be made low carb? Hell yes! I finally made the trip and was a little underwhelmed. The prices were okay, better if you take advantage of their email deals. I didn't like how so many things came out lukewarm, the salmon being the worst offender. The Korean cauliflower was wet and soggy, the empanada was hot but stale and not crispy, and the mashed potatoes and squash were underseasoned too. For the prices, I would want the impression that the food is made fresh, and I felt rather that it was all haphazardly thrown together. The seasoned fries were surprisingly the best. They were crispy, hot, salty, and generously portioned. It was still a good meal overall. I didn't try the BBQ chicken but it was apparently quite good and tender. The restaurant interior is a little weird, not a very welcoming atmosphere. The bathrooms in particular annoyed me because there were no paper towels to open the two doors out of the bathroom after washing your hands.

Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate (gf)

I came here a few months ago and it was great. I returned this evening excitedly to try a different item. Once I entered the restaurant, the cashier looked at me. I approached the front and she proceeded to just looked me. I was the one who greeted her and said, "Hi." Then, she continued looking at me. I thought whatever, maybe she's having a long night. As she took my order I had the feeling like she did not want to be at work. Full of attitude. Still gave a tip because, who wants to be working on a Saturday evening, right?! She took my name and I sat down which signaled to me that my name would be called when ready to go. I sat patiently as multiple (5+) patrons were served before me. One of the patrons, a duo of police officers. So I thought to myself, no worries, serving the police before me, I get it. I kept looking at my watch every 5 minutes. I'm thinking, oooh freshly prepared. My order was placed at 5:42pm. I finally get up at approximately 6:10pm. Still no one acknowledges me. Finally, the server who walked past me at least 5 times asks, "Are you waiting for something?" After a brief exchange he grabs my food that has been sitting the whole time! I immediately break open the seal and the food looked terrible. Everything cold. The steak looked this pale brown grayish like it was microwaved. (Which I know it isn't, the point is it was sitting for so long) Obviously I'm furious at this point so I get the manager and he asks if I want the food prepared again lol. I appreciated the gesture but I needed to get home. The manager went on the computer and issued a refund, which was appreciated. I went home and had to microwave the food. In all honesty the food, objectively, could have been good. But due to my experience, the food tasted awful. This could have been avoided if their employees were in the least bit attentive. No, I did not yell or treat anyone disrespectfully. Other patrons even noticed as many others were served before me. I'm not playing the victim, but it felt bad to be looked past or not even greeted once while in the restaurant. Not sure if Bushfire is a chain or independently owned, but as someone who works in management, I have one piece of advice: ensure all employees greet anyone who walks through the door and treat them with respect. I'm sure this is an obvious practice, but it was missed on me. This is a very raw review, so I don't know if I'll return to this restaurant, but hopefully they do better in the future.

Peri Peri Chicken Plate (gf) with Brussels sprouts and Korean cauliflower
Ye L.

I've been coming to this location for years and I think this one is going to stick. This is a new casual sit down restaurant that seems to be part of a small chain. The menu is pretty small, with burgers, sandwiches, bowls, salads, and a few entrees. They use premium ingredients like grass fed beef. I've tried the tri tip, chicken breast, and burger and all have been good. The entire prices are reasonable for the quality but I wish the burgers came with a side for the price. My favorite sides are the Brussels sprouts and Korean cauliflower. Ambiance has always been good. The cute courtyard and outdoor seating have always been a hit. Inside is simple with a couple TVs. You order in front but they bring it to you.

Grass-Fed Tri-Tip Bowl (gf)

Very surprised by the quality of the food considering the price range was very reasonable! I would honestly come here versus go to chipotle for a bowl! The tri-tip bowl and brisket was totally worth it! Must try!! My son got the chicken tenders kids meal and the strips were pretty big!

Great food! Good sized portions & healthy options. There are gluten-free and vegan options. Service was good too !

Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate (gf)
Rose G.

The restaurant was clean and the service was great. We came lunch on a Tuesday. Not too busy but many trickling in. I ordered the tri-tip bowl with mixed veggies and it was real good especially with their chimichurri sauce! I ordered their beef empanada which was also flavorful dipped in the same sauce.

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.

The restaurant has a casual, trendy brunch vibe and the menu is full of creative options that sounded really good. We tried the Brisket S'Mac Wrap, the Eggcelent Morning, and the truffle fries. The brisket wrap was flavorful and filling, with a nice balance of savory and cheesy. The Eggcelent Morning was solid comfort food and definitely satisfied a brunch craving. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great shareable side. Service was the one downside. It was not very attentive, and we waited longer than expected for check-ins and refills. It was not terrible, but noticeable enough to impact the experience. Not to mention, it was not very busy at all around the time weren't, which was on a Wednesday around noon. Overall, the food was good and I would come back, especially when in the mood for brunch. With a little improvement in service, this could easily be a great go-to spot

My ordered double dipped Big Beef Sandwich with Sweet Bell Peppers, melted Mozzarella Cheese, and Giardiniera was enormous, and after initially having my breath knocked away by the Giardiniera's overwhelming spiciness, my intestines soon settled down and I greatly enjoyed the melting concoction. The hoagie roll supporting this mammoth edifice of tender roast beef and embellishments nicely sopped up the au jus, and sank under the heat. The Chicago Dog that accompanied the Big Beef was a classic all-beef Hot Dog with a snap, rounded out with Emerald Green Relish, White Onions, Sport Peppers, and Yellow Mustard. For purists no ketchup is allowed on Chicago Dogs! Crinkle-cut French Fries added to my enjoyment of the meal. Diane liked her Fish Sandwich with a slice of American Cheese, and was especially fond of the Cheese Sauce into which she dipped her Fries.

I ordered the chili cheese dog, and I was a little disappointed. The hot dog itself was good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the chili--maybe I just chose the wrong option. On the other hand, the cheeseburger was really good. It reminded me of a classic backyard BBQ burger: simple, fresh, and satisfying. And honestly, simple is sometimes the best way to go. The atmosphere also added to the experience. It had a nice American charm that made the visit even better. Overall, this place was great, and I definitely look forward to coming back. There are still a few menu items I want to try next time.
