    Sausage and Eggs, French Toast, Bacon and Eggs
    John C.

    Absolutely love Johnny's! Long time 20+ years customers. If you know, then you know! If you're in Riverside and want the best charbroiled pastrami burger or breakfast I town you must stop by, the line inside and out says it all.

    Chilli cheese fries
    John R.

    I ordered chili cheese fries and I took a picture of how it looks. I will never recommend this item. No flavor and hardly any cheese on my fries. Do better!

    Bacon cheese burger

    Location was right across from a store we were at and smells of the grille was enticing. Didn't want to go to a corporate chain and figured we would try this place. Inside is spotless, really really well kept clean by the staff. Decor had a bunch of those 50's style funny sayings. Staff seemed really nice and helpful. The burgers are good. Good menu selection and prices are in line with most. Daughter had bacon bacon cheeseburger and I had an avocado burger. I can see why the locals visit this place.

    This is definitely a spot that I enjoy going to and bringing others too as well. This time around we went inside to order. I ultimately ended up getting their hamburger special, which includes fries and a drink. You can upgrade the fries though to onion rings or zucchini, if you'd like. Ultimately I wanted to showcase the photos of the menu. They have such a variety that sometimes you just don't have enough time to truly look through the whole menu. I will warn that the inside can be a bit smoky/foggy. Since they are grilling so much a lot of of that heat does not disperse out of the vents. I did not mind it, but I can tell that some people would.

    This is an old school independent hamburger joint. It's been around for almost 40 years. This place is totally legit and is in the official rotation when we are driving through Riverside. I had the bacon cheeseburger which was amazing. The lady had the grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato. Very nice piece of chicken. It wasn't some sort of processed piece of crap. The onion rings are legit and the fries were delicious. This has a really nice patio that's covered by this huge Vine tree-like thing over the pergola. It's very relaxing. The place was pumping with drive-thru activity as well as people in the restaurant. They're the workers were very nice and helpful. Definitely give them a try

    Bacon was tough and we couldn't eat it . They did not put additional cheese tomatoes onions or avocado

    *WORST FOOD EXPERIENCE EVER. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE* RANCH DRESSING -disgusting and tasted like mayonnaise (YUCK) Ordered several breakfast burritos and added additional items to burrito (they were not added and we was still charged) Order was $70 dollars . EVERY SINGLE BURRITO HAD FATTY TOUGH INEDIBLE BACON IN THEM. It was pieces and chunks of bacon that reminded me of the grizzle of pot roast or pork shoulder of some sort. NOT BACON! We threw the whole order out. This place is owned and operated by Latino Americans however, they provide poor service to the locals in the community who are non-Latino. Which is unfortunate because my family who is white and black, live here and have tried to support them. Service is going down in quality and this was my last order with them ! I was charged for several add ons but they were not added abd I was given the worst of the protein. Just save your money and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I wish I could get my money back but we refused to go back and have to deal with the people there who clearly don't care. Quality and customer service was just not there .

    This is our go-to burger joint. I always order the turkey burger. It comes with a large tomato slice and plenty of crunchy iceberg lettuce. The burger patty was not dry and it was dressed with a tasty mayo spread. The service is fast and the staff is friendly.

    Oatmeal $8.69 not filled up to the top. It was just almost half full
    Mary M.

    The food used to be good here but recently they have increased their prices tremendously and doesn't match the portion sizes nor the quality. I ordered the oatmeal but it was $8.69and it didn't come with the fruit (sliced banana pieces, strawberries and blueberries) they used to give with it. I also ordered toast and that was $2.69. It was already hard by the time I got back home. The oatmeal wasn't even filled up to the top.

    Hair
    Ana V.

    Drive thru order. Half way through eating my sandwich I find a hair. Ordered French toast as well and they were not fully cooked. No time to go back, that's why people choose the drive through. $30 worth of food just for it to all be tossed.

    Outside
    Gabriela V.

    Parking is limited but they offer drive-thru it does take some time but I don't mind. Usually the wait is around 10-15 minutes. The service is always good. It's a pretty small restaurant more of pick and go. The food is great, I always order the chicken sandwich special with the zucchini fries and one order of the zucchini fries goes a long way. Combo is about $15-16 *prices subject to change* ranch usually comes with an order of zucchini fries and for an additional ranch is only $.69 :)

    Crispy Chicken Salad
    Teresa P.

    Ordered the crispy chicken salad. I think they cut up one chicken tender maybe. She said there was cucumber and egg. Only had cheese, tomatoes and croutons Completely dissatisfied and disappointed

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. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks.

You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned.

The restaurant has a casual, trendy brunch vibe and the menu is full of creative options that sounded really good. We tried the Brisket S'Mac Wrap, the Eggcelent Morning, and the truffle fries. The brisket wrap was flavorful and filling, with a nice balance of savory and cheesy. The Eggcelent Morning was solid comfort food and definitely satisfied a brunch craving. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great shareable side. Service was the one downside. It was not very attentive, and we waited longer than expected for check-ins and refills. It was not terrible, but noticeable enough to impact the experience. Not to mention, it was not very busy at all around the time weren't, which was on a Wednesday around noon. Overall, the food was good and I would come back, especially when in the mood for brunch. With a little improvement in service, this could easily be a great go-to spot

Situated in a seedy corner lot on Magnolia and Harrison, don't let the semi-dilapidated surroundings fool you; this place is no joke. Try not to let your guard down while you are eating truly the best burger you can get in Riverside. The price is fair, but can add up quick as refills are not self serve or free and additional sauces (beyond ketchup and similar condiments) are not complimentary. Ranch is just shy of a dollar at .90¢. As much as I loathe paying extra for sauces, the amount of fries they give you seems to justify the upcharge, but, in my opinion, they should charge for EXTRA sauces and maybe include one with a combo. Seems nitpicky but those who need ranch with their fries can sympathize. Their breakfast special is fine, and you very much get what you pay for price and food wise. Again, start adding sides and the price becomes reminiscent of non-fast food sit down diner prices and, to me, that is not justifiable here. As far as other things on the menu, I cannot vouch for the wildly popular breakfast burritos but they were being ordered nonstop while I was visiting. I have tried the pastrami but it was very salty; but that's the nature of the game. With a menu like this, you are bound to hit a roadblock at some point. Just come back and try again. All that being said, this place really is quality and gives a quantity that you don't really see very often. My personal suggestion would be to get a chocolate milkshake with the burger combo, that's what really makes this place a 5/5. You won't regret it. Those in the know, know about George's. Try to be in the know.

I live about 30mins away and asked if the the nacho cheese could be served on the side, and she agreed but from there I noticed a tone of annoyance. I arrived and paid for my order by 7:24pm. I did not end up leaving until 7:47pm. I watched them place a box on the top shelf of the stove containing an order, but I figured it was someone else's pick up order. I then proceeded to watch 5 customers after me walk up to the window, place their order, and then leave with their food in a timely manner. I took my receipt to the pick up window and the cashier immediately knew who I was, grabbed the box I saw them place on the shelf, and then told me they're just waiting on the cheese that I asked to be set on the side. Not sure if asking for the cheese to be on the side merited me waiting over 20mins. Mind you I would have been perfectly okay if she said it couldn't be done. I just wouldn't have ordered them. Not sure if there was an issue, but not once was that communicated to me. Nevertheless, this left me with an experience that makes me not want to come back.
