I can't get enough of Monty's!…read more We need one of these closer to Corona/ Murrieta etc. Spread them throughout the Inland Empire please! We need more Monty's locations! It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! 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.

Fries and tots were decent. Would love to come back to try the dog and chicken sandwich. Service was quick. They had a good amount of counter seating but it was pretty busy. I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based.

Johnny's Burgers is my favorite burger spot in Riverside. There's so much to love! The location…read moreis great, with nice outdoor seating and close proximity to the movie theatre right across the street, other great food and dessert spots next door in case a friend wants something else. I'm often here on Tuesday nights before a discount movie across the way. This meal is my go-to. A cheeseburger combo, but change the fries for the fried zucchini. In my opinion, this is the best fried zucchini around. I know no one can seem to agree on this, but I really don't know how anyone could disagree. They come out HOTTT, juicy, perfectly salty, and with a massive cup of ranch for dipping (and cooling!). The burger itself is like most other mom and pop burger stands around (George's, Lucky Greek, Niko's Burgers), but I'd still say this one is consistently better. It's always my favorite with the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, veggies, and sauce. They still trust you enough to have the soda fountain self service which is also a plus. More and more places are putting it behind the counter. Lastly I'll add that I love the 50's vibe inside and well working A/C! It's a little small inside, but like I mentioned above the outside seating at Riverside Plaza is already so great.

The burger was cooked perfectly, loaded with crispy bacon, fresh toppings, melted cheese, and packed with flavor in every bite. The chili cheese fries were generous, hot, cheesy, and topped with delicious chili that made them the perfect side. The customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and my order came out quickly, even though everything tasted fresh and made to order. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and has that classic local burger joint feel that makes you want to come back. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a quality meal with family or friends. If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Riverside, Nikko's Burgers is definitely worth the visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

The girl took out order quickly & accurately. Well, they did not disappoint the curly fries were hot, fresh and a big 'ol bag. We also ordered a cheeseburger & chicken tenders. The burger was delicious with pickles which is kinda hard to find these days. Another wonderful surprise was the large chocolate milkshake! It was huge & delicious. The prices were great too considering how much food you get. Definitely be coming back for those curly fries & shakes. Now I know why this place has been here forever good food, big portions & great prices. It was too hot to sit outside, so we parked in the shade & ate in our car.

I ordered two cheeseburger combos and waited quite a long while for my food. After noticing people who ordered way after me getting theirs, I went up to ask about my order, and there seemed to be some confusion. I ended up waiting even longer. The customer service was also a little underwhelming. The cashier seemed pretty uninterested, and when I asked about my order and later mentioned the zucchini, I didn't really feel like my concerns were being acknowledged or taken seriously. The food itself just wasn't what I expected from all the hype. The burger buns were basic at best, the meat seemed undercooked, and the zucchini I paid extra for tasted rancid. I asked if I could switch them for fries, but after waiting again, I eventually just gave up. They did refund me for the zucchini, so I'll give them credit for that. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but unfortunately, based on my experience, I haven't had a reason to go back.

I got the tri-tip sandwich which had a generous amount of chimichuri and good smokey meat. The aroma was great, but the unfortunate reality was that the portion was extremely small. The tri-tip was a bit drier than it looked, and I was not even close to being full from this small sandwich. For this size and price, I'm thinking this should be a $10 sandwich if anything. Service was straight forward -- nice staff and appropriate service. The ambiance was that of an expected sitdown American restaurant. Overall, I would not come back or even recommend this place. There are so many other places worth my time and money.

The omelette was good enough, but I have to be completely honest about the hash browns they were very bland and lacked seasoning. The texture was fine, but I would suggest adding some seasoning during cooking. I think that small change could make them much more appealing to customers. One thing that confused me was the ordering process. When I placed my order in the drive-thru, the employee asked what style of eggs I wanted with my omelette. Since an omelette is already a specific style of egg preparation, I wasn't sure what she meant. Then, when I got to the window, I was asked whether I wanted pickles from a breakfast burrito and whether I wanted potatoes again. I'm not sure if there was some confusion with my order or if they were joking around, but I didn't make an issue out of it. Now that I've finished my breakfast, I'd rate it about a 6 out of 10. That said, I come here often, and there is one item that keeps me coming back: the zucchini. Their zucchini with ranch is an automatic 10 out of 10. In my opinion, it's probably the best thing on the menu, and I highly recommend trying it if you visit. Overall, the breakfast was okay, but the zucchini is definitely the star of the show. Enjoy at your own discretion.

You would think this location, being new, would have top notch management and employees eager to help and service paying customers. But this unfortunately is not so. This location is owned by the same people as the University ave. Mcdonalds. Because that location sucks as well. It's obvious the owners and mangers just don't give a crap about customer service. It's not rocket science. read more

I didn't catch their names, and I'm not going out of my way to get a couple of burger flippers in trouble, but come on -- a little professionalism and basic customer service goes a long way. You're dealing with paying customers. Nobody is asking for five-star dining, just some basic respect and enough patience to let someone finish a sentence. Definitely not the level of service I normally expect from In-N-Out. Management might want to remind the staff that being fast is great, but being professional matters too. What can you expect in the city of Riverside anyway .
