Interesting little place. I used to come here back in the day when it was Joe's before it turned into Dorry's. I have heard so many people ranting and raving about how this is the best breakfast place in Riverside and a must try, so I decided to drive 30 minutes into town with my dad to check them out finally. Was it a total bust? No. Will I do it again? Also, no. The staff members who were working were very nice but I just really wasn't feeling the vibe or the food. Upon walking in, I felt like it was a little dark inside and honestly different than what I imagined. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this wasnt it haha. Anyways, once we were seated, it took a few minutes for the waiter to come over to get our drinks and even longer for them to come back around and take our order. I figured that they were just busy because he was really nice so I didn't really mind at all. What kind of ruined it though was the fact that my dad and I's food came at completely different times. I'm talking like at least 8-10 minutes apart from each other. I got mine and the waiter said that he will be right back with his. I took a quick bite and noticed that mine was lukewarm. I figured that maybe mine had been sitting out for a few while his was finishing up, which is totally normal. Honestly though, that would have made sense if his came out immediately after but it didn't. We sat and waited and waited and waited. The waiter came back again and said it was coming out right now, but still, we were waiting a few minutes after. My dad ended up just telling me to just eat my food before it got really cold so I did, while he just sat there waiting. It was awkward but he was right because if I had waited any longer, it would have definitely been cold since it didn't even come out hot in the first place. Finally, his food came around and I was already done with mine. His came out hot, but they somehow got his order wrong and gave him the wrong thing. He didn't want to make a big deal of it because we really don't like to inconvenience staff so he ended up just eating what they gave him and we asked for the bill. The food itself was nothing special. It tastes like your average breakfast place, comparable to denny's. If theres any consolation though, I did really like the potatoes. They were well seasoned and crispy, something that most breakfast places completely mess up on. I guess I could see how people would love this place because there aren't really any half-decent breakfast places in Woodcrest. I on the other hand think that it was pretty low on the scale compared to other places in Riverside. Sure the employees are nice, but everything else was kind of meh and uneventful. For the price and the hype this place has gotten, I definitely was expecting more but I guess I will have to just take the loss and move on. Wish them all the best but unfortunately, it's just not for me. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot. Highly recommend the chilaquiles but everything is good there.

Food is AMAZING, Service was on point! Carlos was amazing! Vibe was great! Will definitely be back!!

We used to come here when it was known as Dorry's. The food is definitely better now with the new ownership. No matter what breakfast food you choose, be sure to get the potatoes! They're perhaps the most underrated thing on the menu. read more

Food is so delicious this is what you call real Mexican food .And waiters are very friendly and fast when it comes to your food .

Came here for the first time I ordered chilaquiles and were delicious (not on the menu) it came with house potatoes, scrambled eggs, & fresh refried beans (NOT can beans) everything tasted home made & fresh, employees were also friendly, highly recommended! read more

My my my, in all my 78 years of life I've never had a better Mexico dish than the Chillaqullas here. My and my crew drove here for breakfast last weekend and might I saw. I've never seen such cutier and welcome men greet me at the door. I just wanted to eat them up. I wish they were on the menu. I got so happy when they would come by to give us drinks and food and ask us if we needed anything. Anyways, my gals were telling me this place is known for their Chilaquillas so I had to try it. Might I say they were so good I wanted to go back in the kitchen and make love to the cook that made my food. No holding back either. Anyways. This was the best meal to make me forget about my recent divorce and the environment just felt so great. Really made me feel young again and that I get back out there and prove I can still get it on even at 78. Anyways. I could not recommend this place enough. Please go here!!!! read more

Food is great, customer service is great & overall a good experience always!! Love it here!!

Consistently good food. Mostly. Hubby likes the fresh menudo with all the fixings and the family love the mixed menu of country style food, Mexican dishes and your basic American classics. My ONLY complaint is that try as I might to enjoy the biscuits and gravy when I have a hankering for country style breakfast, they are consistently disappointing. I wish someone would drive down to Polly's Pie's in Moreno Valley and learn how biscuits and gravy should be made... hint, hint. We will still come here though, because the food and service do make up for it! Ambiance is a bit loud but it's a family style place with a bar, Sports TV and screaming kids. Better to be prepared for that and not expect romantic serenity! read more

Very thing was great from service to food, love my Saturday morning coffee and breakfast there.

Great place! So glad we finally have something worth waiting for. We usually drive all the way to miraloma to eat at this restaurant. Great staff, friendly environment, kid friendly. And the food is delish!! We ordered a steak plate, and the kids shared the pancake combo. The waffle is a must! read more

Their location in Norco is a landmark and local favorite; so, we tried its new second location in Woodcrest-Riverside (Van Buren & Washington) today. It was about 2:00 p.m., just an hour before closing. It was practically empty. Our omelets were done perfectly and the house potatoes fried with onions were a real treat. That said, there was nothing extra special otherwise. Our side with biscuits and gravy was a disappointment; the gravy was lukewarm and somewhat bland. The place was clean and ther service was great. We'll return when convenient, but won't make a special trip eve though it's only 15 minutes away from home. read more

Incredible place!! The food and servers are top notch!! The best place in this location of all the prior restaurants.

Everything we have tried has been amazing. You have to try the Rodeo Benedict it is so yummy. We also like the chilaquiles with the green sauce amazing. read more

This was our first time since Dorey's. The food and ambiance was way better. My beau had the waffle and eggs. The waffle was warm but still tasty. I had the corn beef hash and eggs with crispy hash brown potatoes. I asked if the corn beef hash was homemade and he said yes. I think he may have misunderstood me because it seemed like it came from the can. It was still good though. It reminded me of when my daddy used to make us breakfast every Saturday morning. The service was friendly and efficient. I prefer supporting local business so we will definitely return! read more

This place is always on point with breakfast. We can never complain about the fried pancake in the rodeo potatoes after a hard day work or the perfect way to start the weekend. read more

Good breakfast! First time we have been will be back to try the menudo. Decaf coffee was very good.

Large portions !!! great service, food is served, warm and fresh and fast!!! I highly recommend this Rodeo Cafe!

First impressions. The place smells funky. Second impression, server grabbed menus for us told us to go to the back and then proceeded to seat the couple behind us up front. We didn't know where to sit or if we would see server or menus. I actually had to ask for her to bring us menus. Just ordered food. Sausages are good, the potatoes are really tasty, so is the biscuits and gravy. One hiccup, my one egg, the yolk was a really light cloudy yellow color. Sent that back for sure. Would I come back? Sincerely doubt it. No matter how good the food tastes, bad service will ruin the entire experience read more

Always amazing food and great service . My go to place for an amazing breakfast. Personal fave is the green chilaquiles . Yummmmmm
