Amazing food and service Been here four times always get pastrami. But Sunday had the breakfast burrito and was amazing. Hot sauce is Hot but tasty read more

I used to love Lucky Greek until a few years ago when the food had gotten kind of "meh", and quite pricey, so I stopped going. Today, I had a powerful craving for my old favorite - a hot roast beef sandwich with BBQ sauce and horseradish, and some onion rings so I decided to give Lucky Greek another chance. The total for the two items was nearly $25. The rings were pretty good, but the serving was enough for at least 4 people. I wish they would offer a lower priced half-order for single meals. The roast beef sandwich was a real disappointment. The meat was very fatty and had a lot of hard gristle. I pretty much had to take the sandwich apart and pull off the objectionable bits which were about 1/5 of the total weight of the meat. The meat flavor was bland and really needed all of the sauces. The bun was kind of smashed and gummy but held together. Sorry to say, but for me, Lucky Greek just isn't worth going to anymore. read more

I've been frequenting this particular Lucky Greek since I was in High School. I just turned 70. I've NEVER had an issue before today. Today I drove through the drive through and ordered what I've ordered easily 500+ times before the Club Sandwich combo. I drove to the window and handed the young man my Credit Card. He asked if I needed a receipt and I said no. The order was ready in 2 minutes and he handed me the bag. I immediately noticed there were no fries, and asked where they were? I was told they didn't come with it! I didn't even no they had that option? So, he offered to make some fries. They would be an additional $5.86. I said OK. At this point, I asked what he had charged me for the sandwich and he said $13.80. He said you should have ordered the combo it comes with a drink! NO KIDDING, I DID order the combo, which I've always ordered every single time. I thought about it and pulled around to speak with the manager. I waited 10 minutes before and a young gentleman in his early 20s greated me with "What Do You Want?" I tried to explain I had just been overcharged, I'd just like my money back! He refused, (after he tried and failed to find my receipts in his system). A minute later he asked if I would I accept a free drink and not bother with a refund. At this point (15+ minutes into this) I said yes, and he handed me the drink. I then asked when his supervisor might be in, and he coldly said HE was the manager, was there anything else? So, while I attempted to purchased a ($18.51 with tax) Club Combo (sandwich+fries+drink) I was sold a sandwich for ($13.80 with tax) and fries ($5.86 with tax) and no drink, which was later hastily offered for "free" 15 minutes (and cold french fries) later. I also asked if he would at least remake the fries and he refused. So I paid $19.66 for an $18.51 order, and was made to feel like an idiot. At least they gave me the "FREE" drink... loll.... UPDATE: I called this evening around 8pm to try and catch an actual manager, or at least get a real manager's name, and a time i might be able to speak with them. The evening manager who answered the phone was polite, but REFUSED to give me his name, or his bosses name, only a hint that I might catch his boss early in the morning or afternoon on a weekday. I left my phone number with him, not holding my breath as I honestly don't think they care or will bother to call. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger combo and a jr. burger. The burgers were both a good sizes, but a bit expensive $20 in total. There was a bit of a wait time at the drive thru window. The meat tasted bland and was dry. They didn't give enough napkins or ketchup with my order. I loved their freshly salted French fries. They carry Pepsi products. read more

Food was pricy for what you got. We ordered a gyro ( the only Greek thing I saw on the menu) and a roast beef grinder, both with fries and a drink. The total was $44. The gyro was fine, the grinder was very plain. Fries were good and good serving size. read more

The iceberg lettuce used was browning, it was old. I spent 21$ on this greek salad! Chicken was not bad! But the lettuce is old which disgusted me. They added 3 olive and called it a Greek salad . Overloaded with w feta cheese read more

Lucilla I hope I said her name correctly she did and excellent job and the food was great the place is clean staff have smiles and ready to satisfy hunger. The vibe is perfect I tipped I never tip only review but they deserve it they are doing a great service to those that are hungry read more

Very nice spot had a burger today with some fries definitely overdid it on a thousand Island when it was thrown into the bag fries everywhere I'm not making this a negative but for being a spot known for burgers I thought it'd be much better very sloppy and I really didn't have any taste of the seasoning on the burger so I gave it four stars because the drive-through girl that had all the pink around her face was very sweet read more

We have been going to Lucky Greek for 20 years. This was our go-to when we didnt want to cook. We are fully aware of how inflation is affecting cost. But it's ridiculous that 3 items cost $45. This is a direct reflection on how wage increase trickles down to the consumer. Im sorry to say this but this was our last visit. read more

I absolutely love this place! So glad for this little gem that's by my job. We decided to come for lunch and I love their gyro. Everything I've had from here is made fresh and so good. They do charge extra for ranch but it's thick and good so it's worth it. They have inside and outside seating. Lots of parking and they have a drive thru. They have free refills on drinks. The service is great and friendly. The portions are huge and shareable. You won't regret coming here. read more

The wait for the food is so long. Also the price does not make the burgers worth buying. Probably not going to eat here again. A bacon cheeseburger and 2 1/4 hamburgers costs $30. Such an outrageous price gouge. The bacon was also too salty. There are other spots that cost less and taste the same or better. Although the burgers tasted good, I would refrain from eating here. read more

I agree with recent reviews of the price gouging. 2 kids meals, a gyro sandwich and a Philly came out to $50 something? Come on! Plus everything was mediocre at best. Why don't businesses get that if you provide great food at a decent price, spend a little on marketing - you will be open for years and get lots of business. Offering mediocre food at an inflated price, nickel and diming every customer will do what? People like me will go elsewhere and stop being your customer. I know this place has been open for a long time but when it does close, and it will at this rate, then don't blame the customers, blame yourselves for your "phoning it in" business model read more

Finally got around to trying one of "the best burger spots" in riverside. And finally the hype was right. We live next to George's on magnolia and we were so disappointed! But this place.. from the burgers, to the fries, to the zucchini.. perfection. Their chili cheese fries with pastrami were also a hit ! I have no complaints! Everything was made fresh to order and the service was amazing. The young beautiful lady was very welcoming and friendly. The place was also very clean and well kept up with. Definitely worth the drive for a burger ! read more

Was so much better before they changed their fries. With how expensive it has gotten, it's not worth it to go when the fries aren't the same anymore. They also switched to Pepsi products which is a bummer, but something I would be okay with if the fries were the same. read more

Went to the drive thru to get onion rings to take to the Cowboy viewing party (not a cowboy fan). The two orders of rings with extra ranch turns out to be the star of the party. Extra crispy and salty, hard to get enough in my mouth! Thanks to the very polite and helpful window attendant who helped me work through my Apple Pay! Can't want to come again. read more

This is the first time in a long time I've been to the lucky Greek. Used to come here all the time and forgot how good the cheeseburgers and onion rings were. I will be making this a regular stop again. read more

I have always loved the food, but the bathroom was not to par. So we stopped going here years ago. Today our order came out in 5 minutes. Loved the burgers especially the zucchini. The bathroom is very clean. We will be back. read more

Came today, 2 burger combos for $42 & the burger patties were super salty. Maybe it was just a bad experience for me but I hate to see it. Fries and onion rings were good though. read more

Was driving around for Lyft and was really in the mood for a good bacon cheeseburger from one of those mom and pop places! Not being familiar with Riverside, of course I turned to yelp. This place really deserves more stars or I got lucky. I was a little hesitant about going somewhere like 25 minutes before they close, but man I'm glad I went! I got a bacon cheeseburger and a Pepsi. Burger patty was hot off the grill, had a perfect char on it but not overcooked or dried. The bacon was like perfectly crispy! I love that they use thinly sliced lettuce here it's my favorite on a burger, and a nice perfectly thick slice of tomato that would put In N Out to shame! Haha as I drove out the drive thru there was a man in the patio with what looked like a burger combo and a mountain of onion rings! Oh I will definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

I mean it was all right. I liked the fried mushrooms. jest wish that they served mushrooms by themselves not fried. The service was good. Nobody was mean. The setting was like an American place not much Greek. read more

I'll NEVER return again. Drove 25 mins 1 way to get Sunday dinner. Their combos are $15-21 dollars a piece. After spending $83 I asked guy in drive thru to double check everything is in there he said "I did sir" Drive 25 mins home and an entire combo is missing. I called asked for a manager he tells me "do you wanna come back and we can make that missing order for you" so do I wanna drive back another 40 mins round trip to get the order while the rest of my family eats together, NO. GET YOUR S*** TOGETHER. PEOPLE SPENDING $20 or more for a burger and fries and you think "come back we will remake it" is good enough? This place is the perfect example why you should just stay home and make your own food. read more

Now a hidden gem for me. I met the owners wife at a kids class her daughter and my son were in. Finally had a chance to come in and try their breakfast. Girls at the front are down to earth. That's a kids pancake right there! Daughter loved it, great price. And my chorizo breakfast burrito and hot sauce was so good. Our family has found a new breakfast spot. read more

My go to char burger spot in Riverside. Burgers are always good. But the star of the show is always the fried zucchini. Those bad boys are legendary. Extra crispy, extra delicious. Place is a lil pricey, but nowadays what isn't. This place also accepts the Mark Card which always takes 15% off your bill. read more

Ordered a Super Beef after it long disappearance. Boy, was i disappointed. It isnt the enjoyable sandwich it used to be. It used to be on Sourdough, changed to regular bread which soaks up all the moisture from the meat which doesn't even taste seasoned like before. Really disappointed in thier revamp. Someone told us its under new management. If so, go back to the old recipes.. bring back the proper Super Beef. read more

Amazing food. The burger was hands down amazing. The ranch is TOP TIER. Customer service was amazing. Love this place and highly recommend

Pastrami burger was really good. Great service, waited less than 10 minutes for 4 meals

I just purchased a grilled chicken salad. I don't mind paying the $14.95 + .75 for the additional ranch dressing, but its really sad to see that I just paid to have around 11 small pieces of chicken and green s. There is no boiled egg and they do not offer crackers or pita bread to on the side. I remember that Lucky Greek on McKinley in Corona used to give pita bread or crackers as a side and the chicken used to be a full breast of chicken and then some. Also, at this restaurant they don't sprinkle cheese on the salad they drizzle it. Save your money and go eat at Waba Grill or even at Market broiler. It will cost you around the same, but you will get a fuller meal. read more

This is one of the best local spots. It's slightly hidden, but once found you will become a regular. It's a burger joint, old fashioned. Cook to order not ready to go type of place. Everything is always hot and fresh. The staff, chefs kiss! Very friendly and I have always been greeted with a welcome and a warm smile. I've never actually been inside, but it's spacious and looks clean from the outside. read more

I enjoyed every meal I've had at The Lucky Greek. You can't go wrong with their patty melt, fried zucchinis (or fried mushrooms), and their delightful ranch. I never had a problem with service, ever. I can't really say much about the ambiance because all the times i went to go there was for drive thru. read more

Food is delicious. Just found this place closer to our home. I knew there was one in Corona but not here. Little whole in the wall spot with great food. Definitely will be returning for more food items. Customer service is great. :) read more

The Lucky Greek - Club sandwich meal. Fresh ingredients :) - Greek Near Me - Riverside, California

First time trying this after living here for a couple of years it's a few blocks from my house and I always wondered about it, today I ordered a 1/4 combo and here is my honest opinion, great customer service for the most part, very clean inside with clear view of the kitchen which was also very clean, the burger was pretty darn tasty had the perfect char to it and the char taste to go with it, bun was pretty stale ended up heating it up at home to soften it. Overall I was satisfied with the meal and the portion size my only issue is the bun and the burger itself, if you are going to charge $15 for a combo at least use ground beef and not a pre frozen patty use some fresh beef and find a way to Keep buns fresh and I think this place becomes a top burger spot in the IE. read more

We came to The Lucky Greek yesterday, a couple of friends told us they had great food. They were right! We ordered the chicken tender combo, the chicken tenders were great all meat white chicken, lightly breaded and nicely seasoned, with fries. The ranch dressing for the tenders was delicious, made in house more like a dip than a dressing. Also we ordered the cheese burger which was really good, it had the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, sauce and veggies, I was really pleased with our experience. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is helpful so it's a overall great experience. read more

The food is really good. Their prices are horrible just for comparison pastrami burger every place else $10-$14 for a combo here. $16. Those are restaurant prices not corner. Hamburger stand prices get a grip. read more

We will NOT be back. Called to ask what time breakfast ends and she says 11:30, and tells us if we can make it before then we will be served. We pull up to the speaker and the incompetent worker says breakfast is no longer being served because it stops at 11:30, meanwhile it was 11:29. We explained that we called and told we could still be served, but I guess she was too incompetent to understand. Hire smarter people who know how to read the clock, and maybe we will be back. read more
