Wendy B.

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?

Pancake combo
Sophia G.

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!

Chile Verde Omelette subbed omelette for over easy eggs
Clarissa C.

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.

BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger (half eaten, and most of the fries were gone by the time I took a pic)
Nikki N.

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!

Eggs Benedict Florentine was delicious and the staff was friendly. Great place to stop to beat the 91 frwy traffic.

Chorizo skillet
Iliana L.

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.

Steel wool in omelette
Chelle L.

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.

Tacos Dorados from Green River Cafe
Cathy G.

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!

Pull out of the drive-thru, and parked down the street so I can get into this colossal thing.

Good thing I was wearing casual clothes and nowhere to really be. I get that it's grilled in oil but how is it possible for that much oil to come out?? I mean ALOT!! I didn't know if I should eat it, or take it to Jiffy Lube. But I ate half of it and chose not to get down to the oil pan part, which was disappointing because it was actually good. Be careful if you order this if you're wearing something nice. I never had one do this before. Four stars because BB is usually better than this. Just want to share my review. Ask for extra napkins.

I do get it with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun so it's high protein and keto friendly but the best thing that they have is honestly their french fries which are always piping hot. And I usually get a side of ranch to dip them in instead of using ketchup however they do have Pepsi and diet Pepsi instead of Coke or Diet Coke and I'm not a Pepsi fan. I'm a Diet Coke fan so if that's a dealbreaker for you then I wouldn't get the meal. I would just get the fries and the burger. The best time to come is around 11 in the morning or around 2:30 to 3 o'clock otherwise the line could get seriously long if you're doing the drive-through and if you're going inside during prime hours, you might get a little bit stock because the drive-through will temporarily block you from getting out so it takes a few extra minutes to leave so I highly recommend doing the drive-through or having more than enough time to be able to eat inside. The staff are always friendly and you can see how they hustle so I never feel annoyed and they've only ever gotten my order wrong once unfortunately they never answered the phone and it was a drive-through order so there was that one downside but otherwise all of my orders have been super hot and fresh and correct.

I got the cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini and both the burger and zucchini were delicious zucchini was golden on the outside and not mushy inside, and in short thick strips, not quite zucchini fries but not the "FarmerBoy" type giant thick strips either. Don't get me wrong when I want a good fried zucchini, Farmer Boys is still my spot, but I really liked these. My son got a double cheeseburger (no lettuce tomato or onion because he's 11 lol!) and hubby got the double cheeseburger with seasoned fries and all was prepared the way they ordered it, no problems there. The cashier was friendly, fast and efficient and employees all looked clean and friendly. Only issue we had was the cleanliness of the men's restrooms no joke, the men's looked like a crime scene (as told to me by husband and son), I did not visit the women's. I typically will not eat at a restaurant with bathrooms that bad but you can see the food being prepared and as I said employees all looked clean. In closing my only note to the manager would be to get the men's bathroom cleaned up, I deducted one star from my review because of the bathrooms. Other than that? Perfection!

I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away.

My only issue is value, the packaging for the sides whether the fries, and we ordered the sweet potato fries or other items, it was so small, I didn't feel that was worth the price. If you spend $4 or 5 dollars for a side, I would have expected more quantity than you would pay for a $1 fries at a McDs or BK. The meals also can get pricey, but if you don't need the drink, and just order the burgers by themselves, it's a reasonable cost for a fast casual burger these days, but when it comes to some of the combo meals, I can see that spending over $20 for one can feel high and just doesn't quite reach the value of a few other places.
