My family and I absolutely love coming to Green River Cafe. We've been here many times and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Even my picky toddler always finds something they enjoy, which is no small feat. There truly is something for everyone on the menu, including plenty of great options for vegetarians and vegans like myself. That said, what really makes Green River Cafe special is the service. From the moment we walk in, we're always welcomed so warmly and treated like family. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about their guests, which creates such a wholesome and inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable, appreciated, and happy to return again and again. Green River Cafe has become one of our go-to spots for a reason. read more

The apple pie was so delicious! Paired with black coffee was spot on for an afternoon treat. The service was awesome, got to meet the owners and their family who help run the restaurant. Very kind and hospitable people. I was able to get some work done on my laptop in a comfortable booth as I enjoyed the pie and coffee. Calm ambience, but they said it gets lively especially on Saturday nights for karaoke. Great experience. Lots of great options on the menu. I'll definitely be back. Go check them out! read more

Thank you Eddie and whoever was the cook. We were the last ones to go in because they were going to close early. We so greatly appreciate that you allowed us to come in. Service, courteous and food that hit the spot. We had enchiladas, French dip and chicken bacon club and a apple pie to go. read more

Added a CC fee to purchase bill and we were paying cash. No adjustment was made. Portions are on the smaller side as well. We wont be going back. read more

First time here. The Green River cafe overlooks the 91 freeway from a small hilltop on the West-most outskirts of Corona and the Prado Dam. Plenty of parking and easy access, as it is just beyond the freeway offramp. They have been open about 5 months and were attracting some decent reviews with appealing photos. It was time to try it. The multi-page menu features classic roadside diner food. This includes a predictable list of breakfast items, which was exactly why we had come. Our choices that day included a breakfast pork chop meal and a skillet scramble. The pork chops were jaw dropping at first sight. Two center-cut, 1" thick chops that were so huge, they nearly covered the plate. You had to lift them up to find the eggs and potatoes hidden beneath. While this cut tends to be quite lean, the chef had cooked them nicely, leaving them as juicy as possible. Mr. B chose a biscuit and gravy for his side. The biscuit was unremarkable but the creamy, sausage gravy was pretty good. My choice was the Meat Lovers Skillet, which combined eggs, sausage, ham, and bacon topped with a cheese blend. It turned out nicely, very flavorful. I requested sliced tomatoes as my side, probably not the smartest of choices since tomatoes are not yet in season. Tasteless, but not their fault. The sole problem lay with the potatoes. Both of us had requested hash browns, extra crispy. Our first bite of hash browns tasted funny. Two more bites and it was not hard to figure out they had been crisped up on a poorly cleaned griddle with residual stale oil, a pet peeve of mine. Fortunately, this only affected the potatoes, not the rest of our food. We called the server's attention to this, after she asked how everything was, and she promised to look into it with the chef. Sadly, this ended up to be an empty promise as she never returned to apologize or assure us of their conversation, and never offered a replacement or even offer a minor adjustment to the bill. IMHO, that is just the proper thing to do, especially if you wish a new customer to return. Would I return? Maybe. But only after they improve their best practices for griddle cleaning first. Finding a note in Yelp from their manager would be a good start? read more

I got the huevos rancheros and my husband got the Chile verde omelette but subbed the omelette for over easy eggs instead. Both of our plates were large and delicious. Sometimes takeout can lose the flavor or not transport well, but it was still good and cooked well. Their chile verde isn't very spicy, but the flavor was really good. The cashier/hostess was friendly and offered lots of condiment options, my daughter got pancakes so she packed us some blueberry syrup to try. read more

3.5 stars This is an above average diner with excellent customer service. Nestled in the green hills off of 91, this place made a nice brunch escape. The inside was warm and inviting. We sat at a booth towards the back. I loved their extensive menu options. After perusing, I went with the Denver omelet, which came with two sides. I picked pancakes and fruit. The omelet was nice and savory. I did wish it wasn't covered with so much cheese, but that's a personal preference. The pancakes looked delicious. For me, it was too thin and soft. I couldn't pick it up with a fork. Sadly, it just fell apart. The flavor was great, but I'm just big on texture. The fruit was fresh. Oh and the coffee was on the weak diluted side. Loved that it was piping hot and that they kept it coming! read more

We stop here on our way to our home. Wanted to try their food. First time there. Had a senior burger. The bun was wrinkle. Like old bread. It made me sooo sick. I came home and threw up! The meat was frozen. Probably OLD meat! Never going there again!!! They need to make everything FRESH! Not frozen. I'm assuming their menudo is from a can!!!! read more

Had great food and great service the other day at Green River Cafe. Oggi was very attentive to us, and as it was a late business lunch, he thoughtfully seated us in a room secluded from the main dining area. The BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger was delicious. Got the steak fries well done, which was perfect. I love to dip my fries in mayo and was pleasantly surprised at how great their mayo was. Oggi told me the cook makes it (and most of the menu) in house - you can taste the difference!! My colleague got the carne asada nachos which were also a hit. Get some of their salsa on the side - their chips and salsa are top notch!! It is a good midway point for meeting up with my colleague so I expect we will be back here soon! read more

The service was too notch and the staff was very attentive. My kids absolutely LOVED the food! We had their taquitos, cheeseburger, patty melt and fries.

Great food and service. We went as a big family to breakfast and had the chorizo skillet, three pigs, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, pancakes, eggs Benedict, Chile verde omelet and loved it all! The chocolate cake to go was also a great purchase. We only snagged a few pics before we dove in. read more

When my husband and I went. The door was open but they weren't open to serve customers.

Food was decent. It did take awhile for our order to come out, but they are working hard and trying to establish themselves. The owner talked with us about the struggles with pandemic, etc. He is a great guy and I hope they can make this work. The menu is extensive. The extra star is for the owner really trying to make this work. It has been a couple of months since we were there, so maybe speed of service has already improved? We had chicken strips and a taco plate. read more

We were searching for some yummy tacos dorados. Saw a post on Next Door for Green River Cafe. Decided to give them a try. Did a phone order for pick up. The gentleman that took my order was very kind and courteous. 15 minutes later, my order is ready to pick up. The restaurant is conveniently located right off the 91 fwy. Inside was clean and organized. I was greeted right away by the staff. Lots of smiles! Got the shredded beef and was impressed the beef was perfectly cooked. It wasn't jerky like others we've had, instead moist and tender. Tortilla shell was not greasy and had the right crispness. Light cheese and lettuce to top, just enough, not smothered like others. Give em a try! read more

Cleaning seems to be an issue for this restaurant. I was there yesterday and ordered their spicy poblano omelette. 3 bites in and I chewed on something crunchy and I'm glad I spit it out because it was STEEL WOOL. The kind they use to scrub pans with. God knows if I swallowed any small amounts or broken off pieces before I got to the larger piece. This could have been an incredibly expensive hospital trip or even death. The manager had the dish remade but didn't comp the meal and the guy who brought us our check just said they were sorry for the inconvenience. I was just kind of in shock to be honest so I didn't make a bigger deal out of it, but in retrospect I'm posting because I just want to make sure others don't accidentally ingest something like this and get seriously hurt. Steel wool can tear up your insides. I did end up throwing up after, but I don't know if I ingested parts of the steel wool and I'm still waiting it out for a few more days to be sure that I'm absolutely ok The photos I attached are of the steel wool that I picked apart to see what it was. It was kind of balled up when I first spit it out :( Needless to say, this is a new fear unlocked for me. read more

Stopped in on our way home from LA. Nice little hidden gem off the freeway. It's tucked back behind the gas station next to Starbucks we almost missed it but glad we turned around and pulled in. Service was friendly and fairly quick. We were the only ones dining at the time however she wasn't overly attentive and she also didn't disappear she was a good server. Upon sitting we did notice an off putting smell that should be addressed but didn't ruin the experience by any means. The food was delicious. The buffalo chicken wrap was flavorful, not too much sauce or dressing so it wasn't messy. The "skinny fries" were a bit of a let down, there weren't many and what was there were basically nubs. I think in general the portion sizes for the sides was on the small side on the fries my son had steak fries and there weren't many of those either. The onion rings were a good portion and the flavor and crunch were great! The 2 burgers at the table were devoured so I can only assume they were acceptable and delicious. All in all I would stop in again coming through. And would also recommend anyone coming through to stop in for a bite. read more

Excellent service! Clean cafe and everyone checked in on us multiple times (not in an annoying way). Food was tasty, portion is appropriate for one. Nice neighborhood cafe. read more

Very surprised that a little cafe off of the 91 would have such great food. I had the eggs florentine and the poached eggs were perfect. My husband had the huevos rancheros and said the sauce and the beans were very good and very tasty. Service was good also. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Stopped by on my way to Arizona for lunch. We ordered the green chilaquiles, wedge salad, albóndigas and the veggie sandwich. The staff was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant and restrooms were squeaky clean! We definitely knew we needed to get a slice of fresh cherry pie on our way out. Thank you, Green River Cafe! read more

Location is niece Clean and welcoming staff Has lots of potential Unfortunately I had high hopes for this place but nothing impressive i expected fresh pastries, delicious cakes like cafes in Orange County Food was normal ‍ nothing stood out I really hope they improve quality of food I will go visit again in a few months maybe change this review to 5 stars! I hope so read more

The food is predictable and unremarkable, but the price point does not reflect that fact. The service is slow and has no customer awareness. The number of employees suggested they had enough staff, but with the small number of guests the outcome seemed like they were overwhelmed. We sat without napkins or silverware with every table around us uncleared but empty of guests. The server told us she would bring utensils when they were out of the dishwasher. read more

This family location is packed with pleasant employees who tend to their customers with care. The food quality is very good and remains good after many visits. I especially enjoy their breakfast menu items. read more

Very good country fried steak and eggs, hash browns and french toast all served quickly and hot from the kitchen. Excellent service.

I was working around this area off Green River and the 91fwy and I saw the Green River Cafe. I thought I would try it out... and I have to say that the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place when you are in the area. I met the owner and she was so nice. She even shared with me that they have a separate private room for people to host an even up to 75 people. If you are planing a company meeting or having an event this would be the place. The menu has a large variety of different things. I can go on for ever.... but I leave it up for you to come try it. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant and we are fortunate to have had them open in our area.

Food was amazing! I ordered steak and eggs with hash browns. French toast. Chilaquiles.

This restaurant is a local gem! Owned by a sweet, hardworking family, they take pride in every customer's experience from start to finish. We went there yesterday for breakfast, and the owner greeted us with a huge smile and friendly conversation. She remembered us, even though we've only been there about 5 times in the last year or so. Service was the perfect pace & very attentive throughout our meal. Their menu has delicious options with something for everyone: American fare like burgers, wraps and sandwiches; delicious authentic Mexican food; and a complete breakfast menu served all day. Highly recommend eating here, enjoying the friendly atmosphere, and supporting the dedicated owners! read more

I got two sausage and bacon breakfast burritos with red sauce. The flavor was ok, but the bill was nearly $50. That's crazy.
