We went back 9/2/26, I just had to try The Pan Fried Chicken . We'll all i have to say is Better Hold On, it is Awesome. One bite is gonna knock you socks off. Chicken moist and tasty. The breading HOLY SHIT was awesome. Then I had the Creamy Corn it's AMAZING (MUST TRY). The biscuit with butter and there homemade berry jam, WHOWA!!!!! The Mashed Potatoes w/Gravy OK. We had the Peach Cobbler, wasn't traditional, was good but not for me. I don't know what happened but my YELP for the tacos was erased. We had dinner there 9/1/26. Ok in short HOLY SHIT the 3 platter Tacos OMG AMAZING (MUST TRY) I had 2 sirloin steak tacos & 1 Chipotle Chicken taco . The nachos were BARELY WARM. Would be better if it was hot. The Blu Cheese Wedge Salad was also AMAZING. Way better than BJ'S RESTAURANT. Service 9/1/26 & 9/2/26 was ok our servers were MEH. But of course the FOOD OUTWAYS MEDIOCRE SERVICE. Richie's Diner is a MUST GO i repeat RICHIE'S DINER is a MUST GO, for a date, a night out or a family diner. read more

The last time I was here was right before the pandemic. I used to come here on the regular. I remember I had the Ribeye steak and it was excellent. I haven't returned because of negative reviews which showed they hadn't recovered from the lock-down. So now 6 years later, decided to try them out - I heard by word of mouth that they were good again. The interior is totally unchanged to my memory. No familiar faces, but they weren't very busy on a Monday. I had the pot roast (daily special), a caesar salad and a decaf coffee. Everything was good. Our server was really sweet too. I hope they can be consistent, as I will be coming back. read more

We have lived in Temecula since 2004 and this was our first time dining here. The diner is tucked into a plaza near the Famous Footwear and Redhawk Town Center and just a short walk from Home Depot. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We appreciate how they continued to check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the breakfast sampler, which had Richie's finest wood-smoked meats, fresh eggs, roasted potatoes and wheat bread. I must say that the highlight of the meal was the smoked meat. It had a rich countryside flavor and was very tender and tasty. I give it an A+! read more

We are BACK again and this time we brought COCO our 10 month Samoyed with us. This is her second time here and she loves the SPACIOUS and QUIET outdoor patio but this time it wasn't so quiet because... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: That's the Way (I Like It) by KC and The Sunshine Band... Richie's, that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh Tri-tips the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh Richie's breakfast, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh... TRITIPS: 10/10 Is the STAR OF THE SHOW. We like to order it with egg white scrambled eggs and biscuits with jam... COCO was a bit scared of the FANS today so we had to move her to a different table that's farther away. But, the fans help keep us cool and the flies away!!!! SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PARKING: Plenty!!!!!! ROCK ON RICHIES REAL AMERICAN DINER!!!!!!!! read more

I came here with my family for a late lunch on the weekend. There was no wait and the staff was very helpful. They have specials at different times but I ended up ordering the regular meal for the California burger. I also ordered the peanut butter shake and cinnamon roll for dessert. The burger was cooked well but it had a lot of veggies, it was hard to get a bite of everything. The French fries were good and fresh. The peanut shake was the perfect consistency. I had a hard time choosing just one dessert. There are a lot of appealing options and I feel like I made a great choice with the cinnamon roll. It was warm and had a generous amount of icing. read more

This is my go-to diner spot for a classic breakfast. I always order their country friend steak with extra gravy and a biscuit. I love dipping my biscuit in the gravy or spread their homemade jam and butter on it..delicious! The old school diner feel with a classic breakfast is what i love about this place. It's definitely got an old school vibe but it's all part of their charm. The service sometimes isn't the fastest but everyone is always so nice and friendly! read more

This clean and organized retro-style diner, is located in the 'Villages @ Paseo del Sol' shopping center on Temecula Pkwy (Hwy 79 South) and Camino Del Sol, by the Home Depot with plenty of parking. Fun, 50s-inspired decor, with classic booth and counter seating. There's also outdoor/patio seating. We enjoy the Murrieta location, but we wanted to try this location as well. We visited for breakfast in need of coffee. My mom loves that her senior meal comes with a hot cup of coffee included. I had their "Pride of the Diner #1" which consists of two eggs, strips of perfectly cooked bacon, homestyle potatoes, and a fresh and fluffy cinnamon roll. The included premium Colombian coffee was fresh, smooth, and rich. Everything tasted really good! Service was great. Roxana and Stella were very attentive making sure our coffee cups were never empty. You pay your bill at the register when done. I love that they have a wood smoker in the front. Definitely coming back for lunch or dinner. read more

This place is off the charts honestly, wish we had one back east. The food was amazing, steak cooked to perfection, eggs were great, and the hash browns were most likely the best thing about It. Not sure what they put on those but they were really good. The inside reminds you of an 80's style diner which brings good vibes. Had Hailey as a waitress and she was so nice and got me everything I needed and more. Definitely gonna be a spot I make a point to go to when I'm out here. read more

A little disappointed with Richie's. My sausage gravy wasn't hot at all, and they can be more generous when serving it with biscuits. My wife didn't touch her garlic bread because it looks like someone pinched a piece off of it. Our server was good though, very nice and attentive. Dining area is the same, comfy and clean. read more

Saturday, 12-14-2024: Our son was visiting us today so we decided to eat at our favorite diner. Our server, Erica was very exuberant and hospitable. She took our orders right away. Hubby opted for a chicken fried steak, I only wanted chicken noodle soup, and our son wanted the sourdough burger. Everybody enjoyed the meal except for me. This was the worst chicken noodle soup I've ever tasted. The noodles were thick & starchy, the chicken meat looked like it came from a can, and the broth itself did not taste good. It did not taste fresh, which I mentioned to Erica. She told me they changed the recipe. They need to change it back because the soup used to be so tasty & fresh with shredded chicken & vegetables. She was kind enough to take it off the tab. Eh, I wasn't really very hungry. Thank you Erica! The diner was adorned in festive Christmas decor & done well. The interior is always clean & bright. I just won't order the chicken noodle soup the next time! read more

First time dining at Richie's Real American Diner today and it was outstanding!! Roxy was our server and she was so friendly and sweet! We loved the 50s-style theme in the diner and the 50s music playing, too! Ordered the French Dip with potato salad and both were delicious! My friend ordered a hamburger with coleslaw and she enjoyed her meal, as well! We will definitely return soon for breakfast...can't wait to try their homemade cinnamon rolls as they are big and look tasty, too! read more

Can't go wrong with diner food! Other brunch places were way too packed this particular Saturday but Richie's was able to seat my large party right away. Our server was super darling and went above and beyond for us. Food was average diner food but they were really accommodating to our requests. Loved the aesthetic of the place as well. read more

The food as usual was good, the waitress was great, before leaving the table I counted out 3 20 dollar bills to handle the bill, and 2 5 dollar bills for a tip, placing the rest of my cash back in my pocket. Walked up to pay the bill and my Son wanted to split the bill, wanting to pay for it I handed 60 to the cashier out of the 70, holding back the 2 5's for the tip, the cashier didn't count out the money and apparently assumed I just gave her half of the bill and assumed it was 40 dollars and gave me change from 40, when she was handed 60. I told her I gave her 60 so she asked the manager to review the security tape, he showed me video of the money in my hand where the top of 3 twenty's were visible and he called it 40 dollars because only the face of two bills were visible, but the video also shows she did not count the money out before placing it in the drawer, she did not provide me a receipt either, my Son paid his bill with a debit card turning a 57 dollar bill into a 80 dollar meal. The manager didn't offer to take my number to contact me when they count the drawer out and find it over by 20, was so pissed had to walk out and told them to keep it they obviously need the money. Never going back, honesty isn't their strong point apparently. Word for the wise, count your money out before handing it to them, they're too lazy to do it and will pocket the difference. read more

It was my birthday and our anniversary - so the perfect cinnamon roll was the mission! A friend recommended this place , so we thought we'd give it a shot. George was out on the grill, paused what he was doing to welcome us and open the door. Once he found out it was our first time he briefly have us a rundown of what to expect. His customer service was top-notch the whole time! We were not planning on getting any food, just pick up the dessert to-go. Well we ended up ordering some food to go as well. As we waited, George showed us some steaks he was cooking up as an example of what to expect next time we stay to dine. He THEN proceeded to give us two strawberry milkshakes ON THE HOUSE. I was literally I shock about how kind he was being to us. What's neat is he had and still has no idea what this weekend was for us! The place was super cute and fun on the inside. The whole staff was extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. We will 100% be back with the rest of our crew very soon! read more

The wife and I decided to go out on a date night to Richie's diner. Let me tell you it was a great experience, not only going in there and hearing all the '50s, '60s and '70s music but going through all the candy as you walk through that you grew up with as a kid like us of the '80s. Well our waitress was Tessie. She was absolutely fabulous. It was very nice to have some nice conversations with her and what a great waitress she is. Our Waters always full food came out promptly. As for our food, I had the pork chop dinner with a baked potato Which was the size of a happy Idaho farmer cuz it was very large. Great! Potato pork chop is delicious. Potatoes as well. Delicious! My wife ended up having the shrimp basket which was equally delicious so we really enjoyed ourselves! read more

Great coffee and a full menu. So hard to decide! A Belgian Waffle or Eggs Benedict? The Country Boy with biscuits and gravy or French Toast? Eggs Benedict for the win. How perfect were they? Eggs, poached just as they should be, the hollandaise was very good and the English muffins had the right amount of crisp. I order Eggs Benedict almost everywhere, and it's surprising how many times it gets messed up. But Richie's did a great job. Cute place, lots of booths, efficient and friendly service. We'll be back! read more

We are never disappointed when dining at Richie's! The restaurant decor is nostalgic of a fifty's diner with vinyl lined booth cushions, and checkered floors. Glass soda bottles, a dime store-like front counter with candy and Richie's T-shirts for sale all add to the theme. Food is always good too. It's all American and hearty. Friendly service too! read more

Love the excellent customer service! The food is delish! Huge servings! Haven't tried their desserts yet but can't wait to try them! The drinks are served in shake metal tins! Salads were so fresh & delicious! Have had the ribs & I feel like that is 1 thing you gotta try at Richie's! The bacon burger was so huge & juicy! The fries were freshly fried & crispy! The zucchini didn't have good seasoning but was fried perfect! I will def come back! Be sure to bring your appetite cause the portions are so big! read more

Richie's Diner is a long time, frequently visited restaurant in Murrieta. Let's be clear, I am reviewing the Murrieta location on Murrieta Hot Springs Road. It is period decorated, and this week, with plenty of graduations decorations. Next week, it will be Father's Day's celebration. It's fun to observe the timeless items on the walls and everywhere. Richie's is Always busy. They have thousands of regular customers. The staff is very attentive and working fast and furious. We always tip the staff generously. Their menu is huge and features all American favorites. The large smoky meat grill is outside in front. Put your name on the waiting list. I'm pretty sure all customers are on a first come basis. We four were celebrating my daughters' graduations. In the end, the kitchen was slow today. No doubt, they were overwhelmed with orders from the packed house of graduations celebrating. None of us were thrilled with our meals today. Everything was a bit lackluster and just not worth the rising menu costs. I understand prices rising, But this restaurant has gotten pretty high since we started going. The final bill was unexpectedly high, and we tipped the staff very nicely. They earned it. I doubt we'll go back again. It's a shame, as we enjoyed going often in years past.Somehow, my heart says to continue to recommend Richie's Diner in Murrieta. read more

Sweet diner to come by!! I've been here a handful of times and each time has been more amazing than the last. I love the vintage and older style the restaurant has! Our food came out super quick & plenty on the plate. Our waitress, Carla, was super sweet and attentive the entire time making sure everything came out perfectly. They have these huge malt/milkshakes that are in my top favorites and I can't help but get each time! After eating, you pay up by the front and once going up there, there's an entire section of other sweets and baked goods. I ended up getting the blueberry muffins & they were ginormous and delicious!

I have eaten at Richie's for almost 20 years but the prices have now gotten out of control. Had lunch there with my son today, we had a cheeseburger and a BLT and two drinks. It was $44, not worth paying these prices anymore. I am sorry to say but I've had my last meal at Richie's and for that matter probably a lot of other places. This inflation coupled cost of living wages being pushed onto customers, I'm done. read more
