We tried their halal smash burgers and they were honestly incredible. The beef had that perfect char on the edges while still staying juicy inside, and the seasoning was spot on--not overpowering, just really well balanced. The thin fries were also done perfectly--crispy, fresh, and exactly how they should be. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Great to have another halal option. Service was great! Ali was very helpful. We will come back again. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The burger made me feel nauseous, and the patty was extremely thin and lacked flavor. The fries were just basic, store-bought shoestring fries--nothing special at all. Service was also lacking. There was no one available to greet us or answer questions, which made the whole experience feel unorganized. They didn't have ice, and the drink options were limited to canned beverages or what seemed like store-bought water bottles - Walmart brand. On top of that, they didn't even have all the drinks they advertised. To make matters worse, when we were leaving, they didn't have proper takeout containers. Instead, we were given a small bag (meant for a cookie) to hold a chicken sandwich - size of a breast - which was pretty inconvenient. I also asked for grilled onions, but they were barely cooked and didn't add much to the meal. Overall, I would not recommend this place. There are definitely better options out there for the price and experience. read more

THEY BLOCKED ME FOR SHARING MY EXPERIENCE. I COMMENTED ON THEIR CRISPY FRIES REEL ON THEIR INSTAGRAM THAT MY FRIES DIDNT COME OUT LIKE THAT AND THEY BLOCKED ME! LMFAO. Ambiance- trash Service- trash Food- trash SOGGY AS FCK AND NOT AS HYPED ON THEIR SOCIALS! They literally blocked me and I was being nice and even emailed and told them their toast page had someone's personal cell listed instead of their business number. Block this review too - wait. You can't. Good riddance. Go to Wendy's instead. Or Lucky Greek support another small local business.... Anywhere else than this place who try to shut you up or cover up the real experiences from REAL PEOPLE!! I literally emailed them: "I haven't tried your restaurant but I've been so excited to try it for weeks now. I have been working a lot and just too tired to go and try a new place. I try to and pride myself in supporting local businesses. I haven't eaten all day and anticipated how delicious this meal would be but I was highly disappointed last night. I do not want to post this review on yelp because I'm not sure if this is just a one-off event that doesn't reflect your brand and negative. As soon as I opened the bag- My fries were not crispy :( they were really soggy nothing was crispy or perfectly seasoned like you advertised it would be. My burger was not "juicy" but soggy. Just wanted to share this. I paid for a meal that was not as expected or advertised. It was a really long day for me yesterday and the meal was just icing on the cake for my order to come out like that." Pretty NICE of you guys to block me and my truth. read more

Let's start off with the burger. The burger was quite tasty. Looked exactly like the pictures. But It only had one piece of lettuce. Idk might be a smash burger thing. It would of been great with a little more or none at all. Thats just personal preference. There is parking in the back. When we entered this place seemed like a diner or a bar but there was no hostess. They have a kiosk to order. ( I feel like kiosks just take the customer service out of the business but again personal preference.) It seemed dimly lit inside, no music on, just silence. I was hoping the restaurant aroma would be smash burgers frying on the grill but It smelled very heavy of cleaning products. So much so that we didnt stay inside. I have really bad allergies everything triggers this nose. 12.99 for the Michelin combo. Comes with fries and canned coke. Dont forget to remind them about your soda! read more

GREAT LOCATION! GREAT FOOD! When I am in the mood for a burger, I usually make my time and money worth spending, so I go to Nice Guys! I am pleased to have been a regular customer over the years, and as the years pass... I'll be honest... food can get boring at times. Especially burgers. That's when I find myself going here to jump-start my taste buds for an amazing bite to eat. Moreover, when coming here, I know that I will not be spending money on something I will not enjoy. I'm so glad this location popped up in one of my favorite cities. It is a newer location, so I know I will enjoy coming back each and every-time.. and that isn't just because the food is so GOOD! This location has a new self-serve kiosk. Ii find it very convenient aside from the restaurant staying open past 1:30 AM. I enjoy my food in the restaurant which I find welcoming. I like how the inside has that old diner and bar feel. Moreover, the service has been quicker with the kiosk too. Thank you Nice Guys Burger! read more

The store is very dirty. The seating was messy and it looked abandoned. It took forever to even be acknowledged by a worker. And when i did he was rude. The food was bad. The burger was not a smashed burger it was thick burger. More like a diner burger than anything else. read more

I asked my partner to give his honest review and he feels that the michelin style burger needed a little more flavor but the quality of the meat was actually really good in addition to the service being fast! The inside still needs a little more decor. Would we go here again? Maybe not, but I can see this as a spot for people to gather and make memories. read more

Nice Guys Burgers - Michelin burger - Halal Near Me - Riverside, California

No one at the counter to greet you or help with any questions when you walk in. Only a kiosk to order your food. Inside appears run down and in need of repair. Ordered burger and chicken sandwich combos. Food was good but nothing special. They only have can soda and most of them they said we're sold out of when they brought out order out. They didn't even have more ketchup available. Overall won't be coming back. They're are better options in the area. read more

Food: I ordered the Michelin cheeseburger and loved it. It was similar to in n out but smash burger style. Fries were crispy golden brown, which was a plus. Service: They were friendly and welcoming and explain the options on their menus (it was our first time here) Abiance: we came on a Sunday and its was quite, clean, and friendly environment. read more

I say this wholeheartedly, Riverside deserves better. This place has been open for 4 months now, and you'd think with the amount of bad reviews they'd improve. They have not. This is the second time I come with my husband and kids and both times have been upsetting. Sure, the employees are nice guys, but that's not what it takes to run a successful business. The first time we came it was dirty, but I looked past it. I believe the owner was there and he was friendly and asked us to write a review and I didn't feel comfortable doing so because it wasn't going to be nice. But after going for a 2nd time today I'm breaking my silence. As a mother, safety is a priority and safety shouldn't be taken lightly because the quality of a burger is great & fresh. I almost slipped with my 4 yr old walking to and from the bathrooms. The workers lay out their kitchen Matt's full of grease in the hall way leading to the bathroom while they clean the kitchen. This is such a huge liability and a lawsuit waiting to happen....The same thing happened again today when my husband needed to use the restroom and took my 4 yr old. This place is over priced for the condition it's in, the owners need to take the negative reviews into consideration instead of saying good luck and God's people....paying $60+ each time we come here has been a disappointment, we live across the street and really forced ourselves to love it but after today it's a no for us. Food was better the first time but after seeing reviews about the greasiness I feel like the grill isn't cleaned right and the oil is being reused. I could be wrong but outside of that it's still very dirty and they definitely don't care. Hygiene should be priority when running a restaurant. The employees walk around with greasy ass gloves and touch everything with them including the drinks when they give them to you they're all greasy. Almost like they only care about keeping themselves clean and not caring about their customers. After all we are what keep you in business. I can go on and on about how dirty everything is. But I'm starting to realize they don't care. I've added some pictures for context. read more

Let's start that this place doesn't take cash only credit cards. But the hamburgers are great, well cooked and crispy edges, full of flavor and nice and juicy. The burger joint is simple with a few tables. Food comes out quick and the service is pleasent. I would recommend trying Nice Guys because the Burger is worth it. read more

Seen all of the reviews and photos online and had to try this place out first myself. The staff is very friendly, they greet you and call you by name. The burger and fries tasted great. I would recommend to the owner to pile the fries on... they are cheap and for $14, it seemed very light. The place has only been open for three months. Needs some music, NFL games... some type of noise. Was very quiet when I was there... would also add some photos/decor to walls. There's one kiosk and a very simple menu. I wish the owners best of luck. read more

Smashed burgers to perfection also must try the hot dog coming back absolutely the customer service was amazing helpful

Food is a solid 5/5 stars! My husband and I both got the Michelin combo. We added grilled onions and removed some extra veggies we don't normally care for in our burger like tomatoes and regular onions. I appreciate adding the extra grilled onions weren't extra, but adding 4 sauces (2 ea) were extra which is usually expected. Service was pretty quick 5/5. There weren't too many people in there when we got there around 8/815pm on a Saturday night. Staff was super friendly. I do wish there was some music playing which would have upped the vibes a bit. It's a smaller place that seemed like they didn't do much but get the kitchen running after leasing/buying it out. That's not something I care about but from other reviews it seems like a lot of people do, so 3/5. I didn't mind that it wasn't super updated or anything like how a lot of trendy places are because i am here for good food! read more

Not impressed. The restaurant is dirty, tables had crumbs. We decided to give it a shot and ordered take out. After ordering we noticed a worker from the kitchen come out to talk to the owner. He had on blue latex gloves and while speaking with the owner he was touching his face, hair etc. Now on to the food itself, the fries are just plain average fries nothing special. My burger was burnt with a large onion chunk and a stale bun. See photo. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I really wanted to love this place! Unfortunately we won't be back! We walked in and person in front was on the phone and told us to use the kiosk. We did! He asked us what drinks he ordered but never brought them to us. Order took about 20 minutes the three burgers that we ordered were fine very oily, but mine was burnt! Grilled onions were black bun was black and meat was over cooked and dry. Guy at front desk disappeared and I had to go n tell the two young cooks about my burger! He apologized and re made it but and it was better! But again too much oil! And the cooks had to bring us out drinks! There were 3 bottles of ketchup a quarter of the way filled. 1 napkin dispenser! And we used all of them because of all the oil! Ppl were arriving and there was no one to help in case of questions or to refill napkins ketchup clean the tables. Not sure if this guy was a painter but seem to be and he was upset because no one to be found and he needed something he even told over the phone that their customer service was bad and how could they leave their business unattended They have some work to do if they want to keep the business open ... read more

This was my first time here and I'll be honest--the place looks a little sketchy at first, and everything is self-service, so be ready to order on a kiosk. I was skeptical, but the food totally surprised me. The burger was delicious, the bun was soft, the meat was flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy. And the price? Amazing. I spent under $14 for a full meal. Definitely worth trying! read more

I needed a late night meal, so I called in an order for the Michelin Burger with a side of fries. The fries were a bit too salty for my taste, but the burger itself was pretty solid--definitely above standard fast-food quality. Not the best burger I've ever had, but tasty enough that I'd order it again. I also appreciate that this spot stays open late and is run as a small business rather a larger chain where quality is diminished. The service was excellent, and the guys working there were true to their name: they really were "nice guys". I'm definitely going back. Additionally, I believe the meat is halal, which means it's sourced in a more humane and ethical way. read more

Right in old downtown next to Riverside cookie shop and just before backstreet cafe. Street parking right in front available with time limits or parking lots available nearby. Has a cool pool hall bar sort of feel. Order at the counter. Tap only. No cash payments. Easy menu with single or double burgers, chicken sandwich, hot dog and fries. Make any into a meal. We tried all of them! Wow what a tasty burger idk what the secret is but whatever it may be.. I'm coming back for more! Chicken sandwich was juicy with crispy exterior nice flavor and spice. The burgers are super smashed so if you like a little more burger go for the extra patty. New business getting a handle on the flow. I'm sure as they add to the renovation this place will be the talk of the town with line out the door. Great service & great food! Open late for us night owls. read more

I've been coming here for about three weeks now and it's been a great experience. The fries are amazing, and the hot dog is simple but tasty.

Michelen Double Cheeseburger was delicious and I will return to have again!! fries were decent, but for the combo price with a 12 Oz. canned drink did not seem worth it. Only saw a kiosk to order, but if it saves on cost, im good with it. In summary, the smash burgers are worth it, fries and soda, not so much. read more

Nice Guys Burgers - Michelen Double Cheeseburger combo. - Halal Near Me - Riverside, California

This place has only been in business for 3 months, as of 1.29.2026. Many changes need to be made. They have a very limited menu. There is only a kiosk to place your order. Their drinks are in cans, and not accurate on the menu. No cash payments. Very minimal communication with any staff. The seating areas are unimpressive. Nothing on the tables except a large, almost empty bottle of ketchup. Even though we ordered combo meals, we had to remind them to bring our drinks. Once the food was brought to our table, the burgers and fries were barely warm. Honestly, it looks like this place was just poorly planned. Unless they make some changes, we won't be back. read more

If you want to try a new burger spot in the community, Nice Guy Burgers is the one. From the first bite, it's clear they're all about quality over quantity. Everything tastes fresh, cooked right, and made with care, not rushed like half the places pretending to be "gourmet." The atmosphere is great the second you walk in, and the owner genuinely makes you feel welcome. Not that fake "hi welcome" script either. More like you just pulled up to a friend's spot and they actually want you there. Highly recommend! read more

Tried Nice Guy Burgers in Riverside and honestly, the one star is generous. The place itself was disgusting inside, the food was terrible, and somehow still overpriced on top of that. I went in with an open mind--even after seeing the owner all over social media trashing the government. I figured, whatever, good food is good food, and I was willing to separate opinions from the product. Unfortunately, there was nothing here worth defending not even the inside looked clean. Bad food, bad experience, and zero reason to return. read more

Like every other not so good review, we should've turned around and walked out that door and got back in the car. My wife's face said it all as we walked up to the kiosk to order, but I wanted to give it a try after seeing some social media post about the Michelin burger. When you only have 5 different items on your menu you would think that those items are going to be great. Well 2 bites into my burger we left. The burger was dripping black grease and the fries were cold and limp. I personally like ketchup on my burger but I wasn't about to use the dirtiest squeeze bottle I've ever seen on my food. It seems like the owners rushed to get doors open before they could remodel and freshen up the place from the previous owners decor at Fusion Restaurant and Bar. I wish this was a different review but sadly it isn't. Tried Nice Guy Burgers one too many times. read more

Don't order online very confusing. The price of the sauce online is way different ($1.18 for 2) and costs more when you buy it in person. $5 for 2 sauces is crazy. Also workers had attitude and forgot our drink. When we went in no one even came out from the back for a while it's looked closed.

The nice guys who were working kept coming out and checking on ALL the customers that were dining in. They came out and checked on every table multiple times. Great customer service. The wait for food was not long. Freshly made burgers and great taste! The Fries were BOMB too! Will be coming back soon! Thank you Nice Guys Burgers! read more
