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 place is all right. Their food is very basic. Service was good so that was a plus.

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!!!!

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

Had to try dinner here at Richie's. Service was good. BBQ chicken was good, Tritip was dry, and ribs I did not touch. My son's grilled chicken was dry. The hamburger was okay. I prefer the breakfast here. It was busy in the restaurant. 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

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

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

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

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

Food was GREAT! Our usual servers are Tina, Gabe, Paola and Carrie. Fantastic people who feel like family. They're the BEST.

I will never eat at Ritchie's Diner ever again. I live alone so I ordered two turkey dinners to go. I wanted to watch football and have leftovers for later. I picked it up the dinners at half time. It was a terrible turkey breast roll, instant mashed potatoes, microscopic portion of cranberry sauce, canned green beans and dry stuffing. The best part was the biscuit. It was par to a TV dinner at the grocery store. As a restaurant, If you can't make a traditional real turkey, real mashed potatoes and stuffing you shouldn't be advertising Thanksgiving dinners at a diner. It's as unAmerican as you can get, probably made by Mexican kitchen help! What a disappointment! 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

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

Another great breakfast here. Waffle was crispy on outside and soft in the middle. Eggs perfectly cooked and ham was very nice. Hailey our server in the beat so far. Ask for her if you come in. Soft great music was impressive as well it made the ambience chill. 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!

The young lady that was the server was very apologetic for the wait. She's not to blame. The quality of a simple hamburger was on the scale of 1 to 10 was a 1. Cold and dry. Re-evaluate the kitchen staff and supervision. Not sure if there was a manager on duty, but they need to hire one for evening service. The person who is ultimately responsible is the owner. The quality of the food and service is a direct reflection of the owner read more

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

We have now been to this place twice and enjoyed each meal. We came for dinner once and breakfast another time. For dinner I had the French Dip which was ok, and an omelet for breakfast which I really enjoyed. We also got the fried zucchini and loved it. The best thing you can buy here is the chocolate chip cookies... they are the best I have ever tried. We will def go back and look forward to when they open a new location in Menifee closer to home! read more

I ordered a thanksgiving dinner this year for my family. I paid over $100 for a meal that said it serves 4 to 5 people. It only came with barely one scoop of potatoes, a few cut out squares of turkey. 4 rolls and a small side of gravy. I called after I picked up the food about the small serving size and they said they were busy and didn't care to help at all! Beware before you spend a lot of money for the thanksgiving meal. read more

Greatvservice and smbisnce. Love their fresh baked cherry pie for takeout or eat inside. Delicious!

We just had one of the best dinners out we've had in a very long time. The salad was cold, crisp, and very fresh. Tender chicken in the pot pie with great flavor and a flakey crust. The German chocolate cake had a tender crumb and decadent frosting. The bottom layer was still a little warm. Everything was fresh and delicious. Even the coffee was excellent! Highly recommend! read more

a couple things service took a little bit it was me and 3 others when a waitress did come she took are orders and said to one of my friends with a stutter that "it doesn't look like it but shes busy" implying that she needed him to hurry up with a tone which was totally uncalled for she could've just restated the question, also wether it was a spoon fork or knife all of our utensils were dirty still with actual big pieces of stuff still on them goes to show whoever puts silverware together doesn't care what goes out to customers, food was mediocre at best. won't be coming here again until I see a couple changes in reviews. read more

Before I even got my food I regretted coming here. As a chef who had worked in the service industry for 20 years, this is the worst experience I've had at Richie's. I frequent this establishment but for the first time, am disappointed. I asked for simple substitutions due to food allergies, and without going back to the kitchen to ask if they could accommodate, the waitress, Tessie, denied any alteration of the menu. read more

If you're looking for a home-cooked meal and you don't know how to cook this might go over well. The menu is great and has all the classics but I felt that it lacked a lot of flavor. As far as diners go, I would give it a three star. read more
