New location now open in Riverside at the canyon crest town center. This unit has been a host to several different vendors throughout the years and I'm so glad Bushfire kitchen found its way here. Second visit here. Warmly welcomed with an accommodating range of menu items. An easy path flow for guests to order, fill their drinks and find a table. Nice menu options from bowls, salads and sandwiches. I opted for a tri tip sandwich and grandmas mac & cheese cuz.. I luv it. Penne pasta in a thickened cream sauce with a baked Parmesan, panko topping to add some texture it was rather tasty. More of a baked pasta than ooey gooey. It had a nice hint of nutmeg to cut through the richness. The tri tip made me exclaim out loud, "ohmygaaash!" Nice and tender with a good smokiness to it. Everything you'd want in flavor. Thinly cut and stacked atop toasted ciabatta bread with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. The bbq sauce has a little kick to it which I really enjoyed as it left a lasting legacy on my tastebuds.. Yes! The sandwiches come with a side of your choice. Everyone has their moments to be a little stubborn sometimes. Stubborn Craft sodas are exceptional. They also offer shareables, beer and wine with happy hours 2pm-5pm daily yes daily! To wind down or turn up and take a load off. They have freshly baked cookies! I will have to try them next time. They recommend the macadamia nut. I went for the pumpkin empanadas since they're a seasonal item. Definitely recommend if you're a pumpkin fan. Not overly sweet and nice filling to dough ratio. They were delicious! There's indoor or outside patio seating with a dog friendly zone. I appreciated that for those who are allergic. Really enjoyed the meal and perfect evening to dine Al fresco. Tunes playing in the background and service was exceptional! This team is doing a wonderful job. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality will definitely be back for more. read more

Went on a Friday night, it wasn't that busy but was a good flow of people here and there. They had a couple of TVs inside so we were able to watch game 1 of the World Series, go Dodgers! Ordered the tri tip bowl with rice and veggies. I thought the chimichurri sauce was guacamole at first, but it was just a thicker chimichurri I guess. That was good, but needed more of it! The overall bowl was not great. The rice was abysmal. Hard bits of rice. As an Asian, that rice was a failure lol. Tri tip was meh. Grandma's Mac and cheese wasn't good either. Kind of coagulated, not hot nor was there melted cheese in it. En fuego burger meat patty was too burnt. The bacon was spicy with the jalapeño aioli, spicier than normal. I don't think I'll be back. Looked forward to this place, since I know it's a chain of restaurants that have opened up more recently around the inland empire. Quite disappointed with our experience. Maybe the sandwiches are better? And their mashed potatoes rather than their rice? But I have no desire to come back. read more

I ordered the tri-tip plate with mac and cheese and roasted brussels sprouts. I'm not a fan of veggies so I didn't care for the brussels sprouts but I wanted to try them anyway. The mac and cheese was pretty good but the meat was overcooked, dry and sliced too thin for my taste. I was expecting something more like the picture on their online ordering site with pink, juicy meat about twice as thick. I was told that the thin slices are what was to be expected but they agreed that the meat was overcooked and offered me a $5 discount on a future order, so they do listen to their customers and make an effort to make things right when they don't get it right the first time. Unfortunately Canyon Crest is not very close to me so I probably won't get to take them up on their offer but if I do get out their again I'll give them another try. They definitely have potential. read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Riverside - American Near Me - Riverside, California

I visited Bushfire Kitchen on their first day after opening. They are located at Canyon Crest Towne Centre, and it's one of the few new additions to the plaza, quickly becoming my favorite spot. When you enter, you order at the counter (similar to some other fast-casual places). I went with the En Fuego Burger in the lettuce wrap version, which came with smoked bacon, avocado, pepper jack cheese, pickled red onions, and a fried egg I added on. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy, and I sampled various sauces, including their peri peri sauce, which had a subtle heat and a pronounced but pleasant tanginess. I also tried their Nashville Hot sauce, which tasted amazing and had a fair bit of heat. I can't wait to try these sauces again with their wings or chicken strips next time. I also appreciate their gluten-free options (bread and buns), which they make in-house. Their gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was a highlight too. It had the perfect texture and I could not tell it was gluten-free--just the right amount of softness without being crumbly, and the chocolate melted in your mouth. The ambiance is clean and friendly with indoor and patio seating. Prices are fair and very reasonable, and they offer a daily happy hour (2-5 pm) with half-off wine and beer and discounted appetizers. Service was excellent--they checked in on me several times throughout my meal. Overall, an excellent experience and a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

First time coming here. I ordered the American Burger. I normally don't ever take the time to do a review but the food and service was just that good, I couldn't just sit here and not do a review. I got the American burger and that burger was the best burger i've had in my life and i'm picky with burgers. Meat grilled to my liking of medium well. All the flavor was there with the toppings. Flavors well balanced. Not too moist but not too dry either. Didn't even need to use ketchup. My wife got the salmon plate and she loves her salmon. aShe ate it faster than i ate my burger. My 2 year old got the chicken strips and fries. He normally doesn't eat all chicken strips when we order it for him but these were just different taste in a good way that he at it all! The food here was just that good! Compliments to the chef for sure! The restaurant itself was nice and clean making it welcoming. Would come here again 100% and would refer my friends and family to come. read more

Fresh food cooked to perfection. My wife and twin daughters have Celiac disease and the gluten free food here is tremendous. I do not have any dietary restrictions and my food was also tremendous. This kitchen is filled with culinary genius' read more

I decided to Doordash this place for the first time today and their menu looked delicious and healthy. The food was just okay, I got the thai chicken with jasmine rice and veggies (7/10) and the chicken empanadas (6/10), they were kinda on the dry side. But what I was really craving was sweet potato fries and when I opened the bag, I was shocked to see their color as they looked liked they were almost to the point of being burned. Not sure if thats how the sweet potatoes normally look here, but as far as the taste, it was an absolute no for me. read more

Bushfire has been one of my favorite restaurants for years I've been going to the Menifee location. But this location is seeing some growing pains. My tri tip was so over cooked it was jerky, and my salmon piece was so small it was over cooked. All of the veggies lacked seasoning. Not the quality you'd expect for a 50$ meal read more

Excellent food, excellent Nashville sandwich very tasty. Food was ready when I arrived

This is new restaurant is really good! I really like their lemonades actually. Things can add up! But I would still try them out. One time I did get a hair on my food which killed the experience. So I would suggest them being more mindful of that and wearing something on their head. Other than that, food tastes really good. I'll still be going back. read more

I really enjoyed this casual Riverside dine in spot. Located in Riverside near the University, it's a great place to grab lunch. Order at the front, and food is brought to you, indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of healthy options available, including having all of their beef be grass fed, and chicken is cage free. There are bowls (choice base, protein, and side), salads, burgers, and plates. You know a place is good when you veer away from the Yelp highlights recommendations, and still love your meal. I went with the Thai curry chicken bowl, and it was delicious! A little spicy, with great flavor. I chose the fire roasted veggies as my side, and they were cooked very well. Overall, a great dish. Empanadas were amazing! The breading on them was so delicious, perfect flakiness and fresh tasting. The side great sauce was also so yummy, it will leave you scraping the bottom of the container. I believe this sauce was supposed to be "chimichurri", but it was not your typical oily type. It had a thicker texture. The Tuscan sandwich with side of Mac was my least favorite, but they were ok. I think the bread was a bit tough, and Mac n cheese could have used more flavor or salt? Soda machine had great fun options, such as "pineapple cream". There are also beer and wine options available, I must checkout their happy hour. Service was good at checkout. The young lady who helped us at the register was very friendly, and even let me try the Thai flavoring when I was on the fence about it, which is what sold me. Definitely check them out if you are in the area for UC Riverside or anything else. read more

I had our holiday dinner catered by the Canyon Crest location and it was delicious. Everything was labeled (except the salad dressings & sauces), there was plenty of of plates & utensils. Have the serving spoons & tongs included was so helpful. Clean up was easy & the leftovers neatly stacked up in the fridge for lunch tomorrow 10/10! read more

Absolutely amazing every single time. This is my third visit, and the consistency in both food and service is truly impressive. The customer service is phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And the food... wow. I just had the best veggie burger I've ever eaten in my entire life. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. It's rare to find a place that delivers this level of quality every time, but this restaurant does it effortlessly. Highly recommend! read more

We enjoyed eating another night. We went there after our work, last-minute shopping. I chose bowl: filled with mashed potatoes, butternut squash and tri tip steak. So delish!! My husband decided to go for Nashville chicken.. he loves it and he said that it has so much flavors. He saved half for his lunch at work. I got grass-fed beef empanadas for my lunch for work. They were so delicious. I love their chimichurri sauces. So good. Yes we definitely come back to try different menu! The service is wonderful and friendly. I do appreciate their patience because we had hard time to decide what to order. read more

The food was great !! It came out quickly and everything tasted fresh and delicious ! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is bc all the food wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold at all either. I'm still very happy with the service and my experience here! I'll be coming back! read more

This is definitely the place to bring friends when they want to try something different. We love chicken curry bowl with butternut squash, the burgers and fries (ask for a side of the basil pesto aioli), chimmichuri steak with vegetables, and the beef or chicken empanadas with chimmichuri sauce. The cookies are heavenly and the in house sodas are awesome. Highly recommend. Make sure to check out happy hour from 2-5pm for discounted beer and food options. read more

I thought my visiting family and I would try this restaurant as it sounded like healthy fare that's reasonably priced. However, when we arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon, we were told that their burgers weren't available (!) which is what we were all going to order, so instead, a couple of us tried the tri-tip bowls. I asked for the tri-tip veggie bowl, which sounded good when I was told the ingredients, but was 50% carrots and 50% sweet potatoes when it arrived, with some very tough beef tri-tips. My nephew ordered a BLT, which he said was good. The other tri-tip bowl looked very different from mine and the beef looked pink. The other dishes we had were Ceasar salad and salmon bowl. I would say I was thoroughly unimpressed and disappointed by the food, but the outdoor patio was delightful and we enjoyed the ambiance as it was not crowded. Personally, I think they need a new chef. read more

I've been here twice now and have enjoyed the dining experience each time! Heard great things about the other locations in the IE, and bushfire did not disappoint. From their regular menu, I liked the en feugo burger and empanadas and the chicken quesadilla and fries from their happy hour menu. Good food, solid service, reasonable price point and a great looking restaurant with a nice ambiance as well as plenty of outdoor seating. One of the best new restaurants in Riverside! read more

Food was top notch, especially for the price. Had the mashed potatoes, fries, mac n cheese, Brussel sprouts, tri tip, and brisket. Meat was tender and didn't have fat, which is nice. Everything was seasoned well and good sized portions. The service was phenomenal. From taking our orders, to asking how our food was, to making sure everything was good. Everyone was pleasant and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Place was clean, seats are a little uncomfortable. read more

I most certainly do not recommend this restaurant. Earlier today, my wife and I went to the location in Riverside, CA anticipating a good dinner based on the reviews. Even though there were not many people inside, the noise level was appalling. My wife and I had to yell at each other to be heard. We ended up taking our food outside. We both ordered hamburgers with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Both of our sandwiches were overcooked, with no sauce. My burger was supposed to be cooked medium, but was partially burnt. The garlic mashed potatoes were dry with no garlic (seriously, what's the point?). $47+ for bad food? I don't think so. We won't be back. read more

Bree took care of me today when I visited for dinner. First time visiting this establishment and I was extremely satisfied with customer service, ambiance and food quality. For such a casual restaurant I was not expecting such great quality of a meal. My bbq chicken was tender juicy and full of flavor as well as my other sides and all at an amazing price. My plate was only about $17! Highly recommend! read more

Service was also 10/10, very helpful, patient, and sweet gals working. One of our sides was served cold and the beef wasn't very tasty. Excited to try more items soon! read more
