    Spicy Shrimp Pasta. Really big shrimp and tasty! Decent kick to it.
    Ye L.

    We got here around noon on a Sunday and the interior was already super loud despite being more than half empty. Fortunately, they offered us outdoor seating, which was much more quiet. The setting is nice, not high end but comfortable and elegant. Our server initially didn't seem very interested in us, but once she came to our table was super chipper and excited about explaining the menu. We had lots of attention throughout the meal as well. The food itself was great. The shrimp pasta dish was my favorite. The brunch items were also well liked by guests. The Cajun chicken sandwich was probably the weakest link and was way too messy and yet not that flavorful.

    While not very familiar with the area, Flat Top Bar and Grill popped up on my Yelp while I was hungry and looking for a place to grab a bite with a friend. Little did I know it was more like a neighborhood bar with a nice amount of seating area. They had some good amounts of steaks on the menu and I felt like it had to try one of those out. The Skirt Steak with chimichurri sounded great and I chose the loaded baked potato for my side to go with it. The flavor of the steak itself was pretty good but I did not like the side of chimichurri it came with as it tasted like nothing so I'm glad I got to avoid that and just enjoy the meat and potatoes. I also got to use a few bites of the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich with fries and it was good. Specially the fries had a nice seasoning and a crisp to it.

    The food is OK here sometimes it's better than others. Brussels sprouts are usually super delicious but today the service was just terrible. My boss brought a bunch of us in for lunch. She spent over $300 and when she herself ordered the brussels sprouts without bacon it still came with bacon, which totally irritated her. We've also heard rumors that there's been shootings here before. It's starting to be a place that you don't really want to take the work crew anymore

    Flat Top is usually a great hang, but tonight was missing one key ingredient--ladies at the bar. The vibe felt a little too chill, and not in the fun way. Sad Rich was sipping solo. BUT major shoutout to the bartender with the backwards hat--cool dude, didn't catch his name, but he crushed it with the Old Fashioned. Easily one of the best I've had in a while. Also, pro tip: get the Caesar salad with blackened salmon. It slaps. Might honestly be the sleeper hit of the menu.

    Amazing service! Our server Kaylee was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly appreciated

    Sooner glassware turned to plastic cups. This is a downgrade of a bar/restaurant I've been promoting for years. Shame on ownership. I want cold beer served in a proper cold "glass"!!!

    If you're in the area and haven't been to Flattop Bar and Grill, you're seriously missing out. It's literally my go to spot in Riverside. The drinks are beyond amazing. Like actually crafted well, strong in the best way, and always consistent. They don't miss. It is a little on the pricier side, but honestly if you want good quality, that's kind of the deal. You're paying for the experience and the taste, and it delivers.

    Came here first week of the new year during the week for lunch. I've seen videos of this place online and knew I had to try soon. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. As we were looking over our menu a highly intoxicated man was roaming around the tables, it had us in guard. A server took him outside. We ordered and once we saw the presentation of our food we were excited to try. Half way thru our amazing meal the same intoxicated man started roaming around the table then went back to the bar talking about women. I believe it was the owner or manager came and let him know he'll need to finish his drink and leave. The man went back outside. Once we finished our food we wanted to try a dessert. We tried the butter cake. Let me start off with our steaks and sides. WOOOOOOW AMAZING everything was made to perfection, hats off to the chef. Definitely coming back for the amazing food. Now that butter cake. I've had a few butter cakes in my life. This one I wouldn't be having again. Maybe try a different dessert. So the only reason why a star is missing is for the cake and definitely for the intoxicated man that made my time there guarded. Hopefully my next visit will be better. Thank you for the amazing food.

    For a fun and great drinking bar, I would definitely praise the amount and artistry of the alcoholic beverages. The prices appeared reasonable at first, until I ordered Surf and Turf. As done by another review, I agree my steak lacked flavor, though it had a nice grill look. I requested rare and found my steak lacking juicy taste. However, the shrimp and lobster made up for the steaks imperfection. Though the seafood were small, I enjoyed them more the 8oz steak needing A1 sauce. The server Daniel was really nice and even offered to replace my dish. I declined, as I know better tasting meet needs marinating or smoking before grilling. I at least enjoy time hanging out with colleagues With the heat warmer and nice outdoor space. I would go again, only to enjoy drinks with people or when the bar has bands playing on social media posted dates.

    This was our first time here. We made a reservation for my Husband's birthday. We had somewhat of a large group of 9 people. We didn't all make it on time but they still seated those of us who were there, so that was nice. They didn't leave a drink menu with the food menus so the 7 of us who did show up on time had asked for one, but still had not received one by the time the last 2 of us arrived. We still waited another 10 or 15 minutes after that before even seeing our server then receiving the drink menu after having to ask for it again. When the first 7 of us arrived, 3 of us ordered bottled beer (without the drink menu). 2 of us got our beer and the 3rd one wasn't brought to us until after the drink menu was dropped off. The rest of the drinks came out relatively quickly as did the appetizers we ordered with the drinks. We got the apps before we ever got any plates or utensils so we just had to wait again. The bacon wrapped dates were decent as were the nachos. For entrees, we ordered 2 different steak dishes, lobster tail, steak bites w/brussels sprouts, shrimp cocktail (app menu), a burger, chicken Alfredo, the dog, BLT, and the fish n chips. For dessert we ordered the creme brulee and butter cake. We all waited for for each other to begin so half of us ended up eating cold food because it all came out at very different times. The shrimp cocktail came out last, but as the easiest thing to prepare, that was a head scratcher for us. The NY steak was overcooked and the lobster tail was inedible - that was the bday boy's entree, so very disappointing. We both had brussel sprouts with our dishes and mine were cooked well (not seasoned) but his were barely steamed. Not at all roasted or fried. The ribeye steak was undercooked. Both steak dishes were ordered medium. The noodles in the alfredo were also undercooked. The Cadillac margarita was decent. The peach cobbler martini said it came with a graham cracker rim but it was just sprinkled on the top of the drink. It was still tasty, though. The creme brulee was super ice cold (I know some places do it cold but it seemed almost frozen), had a consistency thicker than flan and was chunky, not creamy. The top was barely caramelized. The butter cake had no crisp to it. Our server was given several large tables pretty close together in time so we knew he had his hands full. However, we saw him at the other tables far more often than at ours. He was still very nice. However the bus boy was more attentive than our server was able to be. I almost forgot to take pictures so the ones I got were after everyone stopped eating. The only dish that was eaten fully was the dog. They also made no mention of the birthday we were celebrating, even though I specified it in our reservation. The patio is cool, though. $552 bill. We tipped the bus boy with what cash we had and the server on the bill. So $679 in total, but we won't be going back.

    Wandered in here with the fam last minute and we're so glad we did! The food was amazing and our server/ bartender John was AMAZING!! The Bloody Mary and Mai Tai he made me were hands down the best I've ever had. Definitely look him up. He had a very professional and pleasant demeanor and all his recommendations on food choices were top tier. Flat top bar & grill HE IS A GEM! Thanks John!!

He had a great attitude and was very accommodating, which we really appreciated. When our food was brought out, one of the servers had an attitude when we asked a few questions, which added to the negative experience. I wish I had gotten their names. On a positive note, the bartender when we first arrived the gentleman with the long hair was very friendly and helpful. He assisted us quickly while we waited for our table, and that first impression was great. Overall, while the food and some staff were excellent, the service from the two servers on the patio took away from the experience.

The event included multiple vendor popups from food to beauty to health products. Vendors set up in the alley behind the brewery, there was plenty of parking in the front of the business off of Central Ave. There were many picnic style tables and metal tables set up, but as the event started filling up, the tables went pretty quickly. I would suggest getting to this event early. We tried many different foods; Mexican tacos and taquitos and aguas frescas. The Jamaica-Strawbery was delicious! Also had vegan fried sushi topped with fried shrimp and fried tofu. Delicious vegan ribs with Mac n cheese. The ribs were made with jackfruit and mushrooms and covered with delicious barbecue sauce. Then we had fried oyster "chicken" and fried king oyster "fish." The fish looked almost identical to real fish, it was mind blowing. Everything I tried was out-of-this-world delicious. The brewery was taking orders and many people were taking advantage of their offerings of beer and cider. Please visit this event on Sundays, you won't be disappointed. The schedule can be found on the IG page: IE Vegan Sundays.
