    Hair in food

    There was hair in the food. Don't eat here. Thru away $30 worth of food as soon as we got home. They're closed now so we couldn't take it back. But yea we're super grossed out and will never eat here again.

    Food was fresh , fast service during 1-2pm one of the best Wabas out here. The ambiance was work lunch break

    Shrimp taco on a flour tortilla
    Tosha L.

    Finally tried the Boom Boom taco....I ordered a shrimp taco. It was pretty good, came on a flour tortilla with sauce and cilantro. That was my side of choice with the Value deal. I didn't get any carrots this time, because they are always dry and rubbery.

    Workers dont want to interact then dont want to do a cash transaction

    Beyond horrible customer service. The workers dont want to work the cash register and force the computer order system. Then say why did u order there if u are paying with cash?!?! Then proceeded to say: "We dont accept cash unless you have the exact change."

    Food is good value . Customer service is like whatever did not feel welcomed. Place needs to be cleaned knowing that this is a food business.

    A steak bowl with not even enough meat
    Wayne J.

    I've been eating Waba Grill for over 10 years but this trip was different. First, they had no white rice, but I decided to give the brown rice a chance. Then my bowl came and it had the teeniest amount of steak imaginable. I asked for a refund and when asked "why" I explained how it wasn't enough meat in the bowl for $11.63. Id never recommend not eating Waba Grill but I'd definitely recommend you to stay away from this one since they only want to give a Teaspoon of meat. Get more bang for your buck elsewhere.

    I'm a regular at this waba..usually come in 3-4 times a week. Usually the portions are good but this seems a bit off. I ordered a regular chicken bowl & mini chicken bowl & the chicken portions are the same.

    Made fresh to order, this place is what you've come to love about meat and veggie bowls. If you are vegetarian, you can opt out of meat. Love the taste and their spicy sauce is delicious. Service is always friendly and fast. I never have to wait more than 10 minutes for my meal. The seating outside makes for a great spot to enjoy your meal and gather with friends. Located in the university plaza, you'll find plenty of options if this doesn't suit your pallet. Maybe after you'll want some desert. Great desert options nearby with a theater in close proximity. Customer service is robotic. Questions are standard when asked what toppings you want. Plenty of parking, you're sure to find a space. Bathrooms are well stocked and clean. Just ask for the key!

    This has to be one of the Best Waba Grill restaurants in Riverside. I love the amount of meat and I love the flavor. Good food.

    I can't get enough of Monty's!…read more We need one of these closer to Corona/ Murrieta etc. Spread them throughout the Inland Empire please! We need more Monty's locations! It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks.

    As a 10 year vegetarian I had to try this place. I ordered 2 good burgers, 50/50 (fries and tots…read morew/side of ranch), and a cherry cola. The burger was pretty good, but I've had better. Fries and tots were decent. Would love to come back to try the dog and chicken sandwich. Service was quick. They had a good amount of counter seating but it was pretty busy. I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based.

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved. What sets Urban Skillet apart before you even take a bite is the integrity behind the food 100% non-GMO, grass-fed, organic, and halal. You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

The bun was soft and fresh, and the house sauce added a great flavor without overpowering the burger. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than McDonald's fries. The restaurant itself was clean, although it was a bit darker inside than I expected for a burger joint. That said, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, I had a great lunch and left satisfied. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm ordering the double burger. If you're in the area and craving a solid burger and fries, this place is worth checking out

    I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt it…read morewas necessary. I want to start by saying the employees were polite, patient, and clearly trying their best. None of the blame falls on them. They were amazing help and seemed like amazing people, They seemed to be doing everything they could despite what appeared to be poor management. My issue is with the ownership and the overall way the restaurant seems to be run. From my experience, everything felt disorganized and chaotic, and it gave me the impression that customer service isn't a priority. The restaurant is nothing like it's portrayed on social media. The online image made it seem welcoming and well put together, but in person I found the atmosphere uncomfortable and unsettling. The decor and posters also struck me as looking AI-generated, which made the place feel less authentic. That's just my impression, but combined with everything else, it left me with a very negative overall feeling. It's unfortunate because the staff deserves credit--they're the ones trying to keep things together. Unfortunately, good employees can't make up for what I felt was poor leadership and a disappointing customer experience. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place based on my experience.

    Title: Great food, but an absolute hygiene nightmare…read more I really wanted to enjoy a meal at Farmers Boys in Riverside because the food was actually good, but the dining experience was ruined by the state of the restaurant. It was incredibly hard to find a clean place to sit--most tables were sticky, smeared with ketchup and soda, and not wiped down properly. There was even food on the floor and salt scattered around. My daughter finally spotted a clean table, but right next to it was another dirty one, which made it hard to feel comfortable waiting for our food. The bathroom was also dirty, which made the overall experience even more unpleasant. Watching one party leave and another immediately sit at the same unclean table while waiting for their food made it really hard to enjoy my meal. I honestly felt uneasy eating there knowing how poorly the tables and seating areas were maintained. The food itself was good, but the lack of cleanliness made it difficult to digest--not just literally, but mentally. It's disappointing that a place with such good food can't keep the restaurant clean. I hope management takes hygiene seriously, because it really affects the overall experience. Never eating here again so gross

    Came here this morning to grab some breakfast since I was a little early for my morning meeting…read more Got the loaded breakfast combo and was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the meal. The hash brown was nice and crispy as if it just came out of the fryer and the sandwich was put together well, the bread was nicely toasted and the cheese melty and gooey. Also the sandwich wasnt dripping with greasy and stayed together from the first to the last bite. Honestly probably one of the best sandwiches from a fast food spot I ever had and I just had the same thing last week at a location out in Redlands. Kudos to the morning crew on 2/11/26.

No one has time for this and if they do good for them and it wasn't a mistake I didn't hear them the first time clearly so I asked them again they didn't even bother to answer. I'm pretty sure they said it's 24 hours but if that type of conversation that kind of gotta play back in your head. It would've been nice to have a second response to clear it up but whatever just leaving a quick review making sure they get all the bad Reviews. They deserve.
