    Star of the show: Tri-tips for the win!
    Janet T.

    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!!!!!!!!

    Giant Cinnamon Roll
    Betty H.

    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.

    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.

    Restaurants normally don't serve a piece of garlic bread like this. It looks like somebody pinched or took a bite off of it.

    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.

    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!

    Amazing desserts!
    Allie G.

    The entire staff is super friendly as soon as you enter the room. It is truly a diner. Leaves Denny' in the dust. The menu has so many choices there has to be something you want. Leave room for dessert!

    Amy E.

    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.

    George had top notch costumer service!
    Maggie F.

    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!

    Eggs Benedict with hash browns and coffee
    Leslie M.

    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!

    Turkey roll. Terrible disappointment
    Jim C.

    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!

    Joy K.

    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!

    Yes ate everything again
    Kevin W.

    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.

We came here because of the good reviews on Yelp, so I thought I would add my own to the menagerie! They were able to seat us on a Friday morning right away and I believe this is because they also have a lovely heated, outdoor seating area. We were very comfortable and happy to enjoy the ambiance outside. I had to try their rose matcha and I was so very pleased with both the presentation and taste. It looked and tasted special, especially with the dried rose garnish. Another unique menu item was the Reuben Benedict. Corned beef is a very big favorite of mine, as is hollandaise sauce and a poached egg. All of it came together beautifully and really deliciously too. The choice of cheese was a very good accompaniment. I got the Parmesan potatoes and they were really tasty too, I did add my own salt, but that was fine because all the other tastes and textures were on point! A special breakfast that was worth a couple extra dollars! For me it's either diner food for breakfast or a special brunch and this fell into the special brunch category and they did a wonderful job. Hope if you're reading this today you have a lovely day

I ordered the 2-meat combo platter with brisket and pork ribs, plus mac and cheese and beans. Unfortunately, the food was pretty underwhelming for the price. The brisket arrived dry and slightly oxidized-looking, with only two slices included. The ribs were overdone and mostly from the cartilage-heavy end of the rack. Flavor overall was decent, but nowhere near memorable. The mac and cheese was bland, the beans were okay, and even the pickles had an odd chemical taste to them. The service was genuinely great, which was the highlight of the experience, but at around $48 for the combo plate, the food quality just didn't justify the cost. For comparison, Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano is in an entirely different league when it comes to quality and execution. This place felt much more geared toward tourists than serious BBQ fans.
