    Southwest BBQ Burger
    Noah V.

    Stopped by Urban Skillet located in University Village near University of California Riverside and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Southwest BBQ burger and it was excellent. The meat had so much flavor that I didn't even need to add any extra sauce. You can tell the quality right away. My mom ordered the brisket melt and you can imagine how good that was too. The place was pretty quiet when we went, but the server was very nice and handled everything alone, bringing the food out in about 10 minutes. If you're near University of California, Riverside and craving a solid burger, this is definitely a place worth stopping by.

    Chicken burger. Kinda small

    This location used to be an Indian restaurant and now it seems to be a $14 burger joint selling halal grass fed burgers. The interior is pretty normal for a fast food place with big TVs that were showing images instead of TV. We arrived near opening time and were able to make our orders quickly. They eventually served our burgers over the glass divider which was kind of strange. Otherwise, service was fine for essentially fast food. The food itself was fine but IMHO not so spectacular as to justify the price. The sweet potato fries we got were a little under fried which is probably healthier but not as satisfying. The chicken burger was tasty but would have been better with more sourness in the Cole slaw or sauce. The impossible burger was meh. Definitely had better. My colleague got a beef burger and didn't make any comments so I assume it was also fine but not amazing. I'll come back sometime to try a beef burger but for now, I'm not holding my breath.

    Myself, Ethan, Raul, Gary, and Julius enjoyed few hours company & visit. The woman & cooks at the time who had served myself and my brethren was very kind, professional, and encouraging. The Beyond Burger tasted great! And it was a nice lil' cozy spot to come and dine in. Thank you for all of your service. IG. @th4ddaeus.mp4

    Super clean establishment. Courteous customer service, fresh ingredients, tasty selections. 1st time here, I will definitely be back, the meat is so juicy and tender and not over or undercooked. The brioche bun was nice at toasty in the right places, omg SO good. Fries are nice and krispy which is great when they have toppings and sauce all over them. My husband ordered the hot burger and he said it was delicious. We will be back. Oh and everything was made ok the spot, not pre cooked!

    Parv was amazing--helpful, polite, and welcoming and clean establishment. He came out to ask every patron how the food and experience was. The burger was absolutely delicious! There's ample indoor seating and a few spots outside as well. Parking is plentiful since it's located in a plaza. Highly recommend this place!

    This place was pretty good $10 for a burger is my kind of spot The fries are delicious and crispy and everything in the back and front of house was really clean I like how they have fun stuff playing on the TV and you can sit down and chill and catch up. The burger was just okay to be unfortunately, yes the price was awesome but nothing made this burger stand out to me in anyway If you want the clean no blood meat than this is the spot for you, but if you don't need that go somewhere else cause the flavor lacks a tad in the finish of the bite. Great service and the gentlemen who took our order and took us out meals was super polite Thank you

    Students get a 10% discount when you show your school ID. The ambiance is very relaxing and clean! The food once ordered gets taken to you which is nice, and takes only a couple minutes of waiting. The food itself is very tasty, cooked on the spot, fresh, and overall delicious! I asked for a lettuce wrapped burger that's just put on a bed of lettuce- which is a nice substitute.

    I liked the official food art pictures enough to stop by yesterday. In particular, the wrap stuffed with BBQ brisket and macncheese [sic.] seemed like a good place to start. It wasn't terribly busy a little after noon, one table with three guys and a small family in the back. None had food on the tables and appeared to be there for a while. Anyhow, I ordered almost immediately, the guy was nice and I grabbed a small table to wait. After about 15 minutes I was starting to get antsy, and the food was only going to the other two tables. It seems they waited a good deal longer than myself. After a false start (a late item to another table) my wrap arrived. An apology regarding the wait was mentioned, and appreciated. Taste and appearance: Well, it didn't really resemble the official photo, nor could it possibly be eaten by hand without a colossal mess. Moreover, the macncheese was very loose, and until I ate the second half very little brisket was encountered. Apparently it was lopsided in distribution instead of blended. The tortilla in the official photo appeared to be slightly grilled to warm it up. Not so here. In fact, it tasted and behaved exactly like a lukewarm tortilla from the bag. The brisket was buried in the sauce so it tasted OK, but non-distinct. On account of the long wait and lackluster outcome, I seriously doubt I'd return to try a burger or anything else, even if a few things sound interesting.

    Sweet Potato Fries

    Urban Skillet, located in University Village, is a convenient spot with ample free parking--no validation needed, which makes visits hassle-free. I stopped by for a weekday lunch just as they were opening. I ordered the Eggcelent Burger, featuring a brioche bun, double patties, American cheese, halal bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, and their signature urban sauce, along with sweet potato fries. The burger was flavorful but leaned a bit dry; a more generous helping of urban sauce and a runnier egg would have enhanced it. Contrary to some reviews about messy burgers, mine held together well and was easy to eat. The sweet potato fries were tasty and complemented the meal nicely. Overall, a solid experience with room for slight improvements.​

    Great burger! Very tasty and great customer service. I will be back! First time today and enjoyed.

    Brisket Fries

    Clean restaurant, order and seat yourself. Cashier was pleasant. Burgers a very good and can taste good quality beef. Pricing okay for burgers. Fries overpriced and quesadilla. Wouldn't order those again, not enough bang for my buck. Burgers definitely though.

    As a Riverside native, it was really nice to finally try Koreana Grill, a place that's been around…read morefor a little over 30 years that I've driven past countless times. My wife and I just had our first Korean BBQ experience, and we loved it. Everything is self-serve, which actually made the experience even better. Cooking the food together at the table made dinner feel more interactive and fun instead of just sitting there waiting for food to arrive. Our favorites were definitely the Spicy Bulgogi, Spicy Chicken, and the kimchi. The meats had amazing flavor and cooked up perfectly on the grill, and the kimchi had that perfect spicy tang that paired really well with everything. What we didn't expect was how intimate the whole experience felt. Since you're cooking and sharing the food together, it naturally made my wife and I talk more and enjoy each other's company instead of just sitting there with our faces buried in our phones waiting for food to come out. It really turned dinner into quality time. Another great surprise was the price -- less than $80 out the door for the two of us, which felt like a great value for such a fun and memorable experience. If you've never tried Korean BBQ before, this is a great place to start. We'll definitely be back.

In the corner of a plaza with decent amount of parking. Experience: We were greeted upon entering and seated shortly after. We went with the dinner option for access to the premium menu because did you KBBQ if you didn't get galbi? This place differs from most because it is a self serve unless you do premium and they will grab those options. They offer tempura, beef, pork, seafood, and chicken. The banchan is stacked and loaded often. service on refill for drinks and trays are on point! The interior tables look like they were recently reno'd while the buffet area looks semi new, but also loved. Note: lunch pricing is until 3pm

    Absolutely wonderful!…read more Our first visit (and many more will come): warm welcome, amazing service, delicious food! We tried Al Karam out as we were told that the restaurant is the best Pakistani restaurant in the Inland Empire and this is 100% true! Veggie Pakora: just the right amount of spices - deliciously crispy and tender on the inside. Lamb Karahi: tender lamb in a wonderful tomato based sauce. we were asked for spice level: asked for level 7 out of 10 (will try higher next time). Paneer Tikka Masala: Paneer texture was just right (often and easy for overcook), flavors were great! Portion is large Mango Lassi: what a great treat! Garlic Naan and Large Rice: great side dishes - cooks take their time to prepare them, a sign of the general super high quality! Highly recommended! If you never tried Pakistani food, you needed try Al Karam out

    Came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and overall had a great experience…read more It's a family-owned restaurant and you can feel that right away. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit more enjoyable. Prices are around $20 per plate, which is reasonable, especially since we ordered a few dishes and shared everything. Service-wise, the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Our food took about 30 minutes to come out, and it felt even longer considering it wasn't a busy weekend. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you're really hungry. Food was interesting in a good way. The curry dishes have a lighter color and a different flavor compared to typical Indian cuisine. You can tell it's a Pakistani style. I enjoyed trying something different, although I personally still prefer the richer, more familiar Indian flavors. The samosas were very good, and the green sauce, I believe it's called hari, was especially delicious and added a nice kick. The mango lassi drink was a surprise highlight. I'm usually not a big fan of mango lassi, but this one was super delicious. Honestly felt like a hidden gem on the menu. ***One thing to note, check your receipt before paying. They already include an 18% gratuity, and there's still a section to add an additional tip. Overall, the food was delicious, portions were satisfying, and we all left full and happy. Solid 4 stars. I'd come back again, just with a little patience for the wait.

The food arrived still hot & packed nicely. It looked amazing and smelt so good. We got the rice platter, which has different choices of meat they offer. We got the lamb & chicken platter, which has the meat over rice with lettuce topped with cucumber & tomatoes. Sauce can be requested on the side so we got the white and green sauce on the side since we weren't sure of the spice level in the sauce. The white sauce is good and subtle flavor and the green sauce was good as well and had a kick to it which was really nice when mixed in with the white sauce. I recommend that if you like spicy food. If not, just stick to the white sauce. The meat was tender & flavorful. I wish they added more cucumber & tomatoes on top of the lettuce. The amount we did get was good and refreshing with the lettuce provided. Definitely will eat this again & make it there in person to check out the vibes.

    Sunday evening around 11:30 PM -- the hours are accurate. They stay open late, even on Sundays…read more This was my first time here and I decided to stop by while passing through the neighborhood. I ordered the beef kabab gyro and seasoned fries. Total came out to $22.26 after taxes, plus a $2.70 tip. Staff were friendly, the dining area was clean, and although no one was dining in at the time, there were plenty of pickup orders coming through. Unfortunately, the food simply sucked and I didn't even finish. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil -- you could tell by the dark coloring and overall taste. The gyro was small, expensive for the portion and quality, and the taste was just okay at best. I believe this is a franchise, but I personally won't be trying it again. Let's just say I was upset that I had not gone to the Jack in the Box in the same plaza instead -- and that's not something I'd normally choose to eat.
