    The Hunter. 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes or French toast, and home fries.

    Have yet to be dissatisfied with anything here. Nice hearty breakfast plates for less than what you expect. It's a small dining area, but worth the wait if it's busy.

    This review is long overdue. I moved to Riverside about 2 months ago and found Farnsworth Cafe on a walk. It's about a mile from where I live so, perfect for a morning stroll to grab a bite. Always busy yet, they never make you feel rushed. Food is delicious (if you get toast, get the italian) and prices reasonable for the quantity and quality. They obviously have regulars because more than once, someone walked in the door and got a greeting straight from "Cheers". It's really the place where everybody knows your name and very inviting. My s/o and I have eaten there a few times as well as getting take out once. Even getting take out, their fabulous personalities shine. Accidentally called after they closed for lunch and the man (oh how I wish I got his name) told me, "I'm not goin anywhere, I got you. Whatya like?" He then made me and my s/o scrumptious noms for us to come and grab. I was just there today for coffee and french toast. No photos to share for that but, I posted some pictures from a couple visits ago. I highly recommend giving them a try. If you don't like something, they'll give it their all to make it right!

    Nice neighborhood breakfast spot! This local spot was busy when we visited and they still were able to serve us quickly. My breakfast was cooked perfectly. Waitstaff was super friendly and checked on us several times for drink refills, which was nice. Definitely worth revisiting!

    Upon arrival there is no host. There's a small waiting area where we sat until a waitress stopped by to ask who was next to be seated. We ended up seating ourselves at the counter where it took a while to be noticed. Most of the staff clearly work their tails off. Some of the staff clearly don't. I had the waffle and it was pretty good. Not particularly memorable. I tried my husband's homefries. They were cool and a bit undercooked.

    So good, so darn good…read more The collard greens are tender and not too salty or vinegar-y. Solid. Chicken has a great crispy crunch while staying tender and juicy. I didn't need the dipping sauces. Mac and cheese is thickkkkk. I love a meal with leftovers - made for the best lunch and dinner this past Saturday. Our server was lovely. Drive the bridge. It's worth it. The place is good vibes.

    Disclaimer: I don't eat chicken so no comment on that but others in our party did like the chicken…read morevery much. As a non-chicken eater, I ordered salad, hush puppies and the catfish sliders. I was also excited that they had a number of local beers on draft. The salad was pretty average and underwhelming. The hush puppies were also just okay. The catfish sliders were the tastiest of the three but I did find a small piece of bone in one. We chose this restaurant because it was close to an event we were attending later in the evening. Since the chicken was well received, I might come back with other chicken enthusiasts, but unlikely I'd check back here myself. Service was pretty speedy but although we requested separate checks at the start of the meal we still got a combined check and had to ask again for the split. Ambience is nice with a bit of a bistro flair and cute chicken themes. The process of making a reservation here is awkward. You have to request the reservation and then they email you later to confirm it. Would be much more convenient if they did Open Table or Resy. Limited parking too. Their lot is small and we had to park on a side road, which was not a big deal as the road seems to be in an industrial area and was not busy.

    AMAZING brunch! This was my first time trying the Shrimp Rangoon's which were absolutely delicious…read more The poutine is always my favorite. Everything is so favorable and the portion sizes are great! The only negative is I found the mimosas to be very pricey. Wouldn't order those again, but otherwise everything was delicious and service is always great!

    We stopped in during Appy Hour for some appetizers and cocktails, which is our go to at Waterdog…read more They have a great app selection and it rarely disappoints. We ordered the mini stuffies, the hummus plate, and the fried pickles. The mini stuffies were a highlight. Loaded with Mello's chouriço and packed with flavor, they're a solid little bite. My grandfather set the bar pretty high for me on stuffies, and these came close. They have a different profile than what I grew up with; a little less bready, more chouriço forward, and the clam flavor takes a back seat. Not necessarily a complaint, they were just different from what I'm used to and were genuinely tasty. The lemon aioli on top was also a nice touch. The fried pickles were exactly what you want them to be. Crispy, well fried, and the breading actually stayed put while you ate them, which is more than I can say for a lot of fried pickles. They came with the same lemon aioli as the stuffies, which worked just as well here. The hummus plate was a bit of a letdown. We've had it many times before and it used to be a standout. This time the hummus itself was thick and pretty flavorless, more like a dense chickpea paste than anything else. The accompaniments were nice though and consisted of heirloom carrots, cucumbers, olives, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, pickled cauliflower, carrot, and a pepperoncini, all served alongside some buttery round crackers that were like a Ritz cracker's more refined cousin. The veggies saved the plate, but the hummus needs to find its way back. I suppose it could have just been an off batch and won't prevent us from trying it again. Cocktails were great, as usual. I had the Anana with scotch. I love pineapple and this has muddled pineapple and basil, pineapple juice, cracked black pepper. It's my go-to here and it delivered again. My partner went adventurous and ordered the Jungle Booby, which is built around tequila blanco and mezcal with campari, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, orgeat, and an absinthe spritz. The flavors were genuinely good, but the smokiness from the mezcal was a bit much for her taste. She followed it up with a glass of rosé and had no complaints after that. The cocktail wasn't the problem, it just wasn't her style. One of our favorite spots in Warren for a quick nibble, for a good reason.

There is a pay lot in the back for convenience, and for 2 hours it would have been around $9.00. I ordered breakfast tacos. Delish!! Served with a choice of side. I went with hash browns.

Strong, tasty, and have such a good variety. Honestly, they're one of the best parts of the colder weather coming back, just so I can go and have them again. I do wish they had them all year round ! Location: The location has a cozy, casual yet modern. You can definitely come dressed casually, but it's also nice enough to dress up if you want. I've only been here for breakfast, so I'm not sure how dinner is. I would definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets pretty busy. This place is perfect for a chill family time, first date, or just to catch up with friends ! Parking is easy with both street parking and a lot right in front, which makes it super convenient. Service: The service has always been great when I've gone. The servers are friendly, attentive, and get the job done, no complaints there. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially in the wintertime!

We were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of all of their dishes -- everything was packed with authentic, bold flavors that had us savoring every bite. Here's what we ordered: - Steamed little necks and linguica in tomato sauce - Stuffies - Calamari with hot peppers - Shrimp Mozambique - Pan seared scallops in a lemon garlic parsley butter sauce - Grilled octopus with roasted sweet potatoes and garlic toast - Margarita flight - Espresso martini Our personal favorites were the grilled octopus and the steamed little necks but we honestly loved everything we tried! To top it all off, the service was outstanding. Tyler, the manager, was so welcoming and gave us some incredible recommendations. You can really feel how much the team cares about what they're creating, and that passion shines through in every dish and every interaction. Berta, the owner, is doing something truly special here, and this is definitely a spot you need to check out!

    Stopped in for lunch during the week. They have a small parking area next to the building that will…read morehold about a dozen vehicles. Otherwise it's free, on-street parking in the surrounding neighborhood or main road. The 'pull' door (not automatic) is at ground level and once in the vestibule, there is a ramp up into the restaurant and steps up into the bar area. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Two dining rooms have wooden tables and chairs, mostly in a four-top size. The bar area has a high, vaulted ceiling and the two ceiling fans are a large baseball in a glove. Cute. Walls are real wood paneled on the bottom 2/3 and painted cream at the top 1/3 with dark wood floors. Everything looked nice and clean and cozy. High-tops in the bar area each had bag hooks under the table top which I love. Our waitress was the bartender. The bar was about half full and there were maybe two other tables in the restaurant. She brought over place mats, flatware and menu's and took our drink order. The menu is large and includes sandwiches, burgers, steaks, apps, soups and salads, plus. It's pretty big. We had a good amount of time to review all the menu options, plus the 'specials' menu she left with us. We both chose steak based entrées. A table top sign lists some seasonal adult beverages available and the menu includes other bar selections. Food was brought out by a kitchen employee. I think it may have been the cook/chef. It took a while for the food to come out of the kitchen and I suspect it's bare bones staff during the week. They were very friendly and asked if we needed anything else. The waitress also stopped by after several minutes to check in with us. The steak was tender however those knives need to be replaced. Because it was hard to cut, I thought the steak would be 'tough', but it was very nice. The fries are excellent. I did enjoy those. Mashed potatoes appear to be 'real' (not reconstituted flakes). My steak was a bit undercooked but I only ate about half. I concentrated on cutting the outer bits which left the center a perfect temp for reheating at home. It heated up quite well and was still tender. So in the end, it worked in my favor. Although I'm not sure how they fry the egg on top of the Portuguese steak, it was fluffy and had a nice soft yolk. (I could have sent the steak back to be re-fired if I was unhappy, but knew I'd probably not eat it all, so again, it worked in my favor) Gendered restrooms are off the bar area. Ladies has two small stalls with no gaps at the edges. Thumbs up for that. Men's room has a stall and a urinal (I asked, didn't look). Not sure about another comment on here regarding 'no lock' on the men's room. The stall has a lock. If you need privacy, use that. Each restroom is too small for a changing table. I asked about the parking situation as the lot is not big enough to accommodate all the tables and after talking about on-street parking options was told on the weekends (Friday - Sunday) it's a full house. So do plan some time to find parking. I'm not sure they take reservations though and the vestibule has only one seat that I noticed for waiting. Food quality is good. Service is friendly. Full bar. Big menu. Clean restrooms. Only the parking situation is possibly problematic and that's really a state of mind. Desfrute da sua refeição!
