“This location is so chill inside I like coming here for a quiet morning to myself. But I’ve also brought my kids with no issues. Service is always great hands down this is probably the Dennys with the best service in the area. Felicia is so sweet and attentive. Even the other servers you see how they’re treating other patrons and it’s just a homey feeling vibe like a mom and pop neighborhood restaurant. If you’re looking for a good deal and chill Dennys spot stop by this location.“

“I frequent Denny's all over Southern California. They can be hit or miss. This particular location is top notch primarily due to our server Chloe. She was delightful and her attentiveness was perfectly in the Goldilocks zone. As an aside, the restaurant itself was very well kept up and clean. It also has very clever seating with center aisle round booth type tables that make everyone sitting at them feel like they have an aisle seat with entrances on two sides. Great for groups. See it and you'll get what I mean. .I'll be back when I pass through town again. Oh yeah, the salmon was delicious!“

“Driving by saw packed parking lot. Checked reviews. Figured would be worth checking out. Upon return, hour or so later, were fortunate the crowd had lessened, not crowded at all. About the only downside, albeit kinda off-putting; first walking in, were struck by odor emanating from restroom.Obviously; overcoming that initial occurrence wasn't gonna be a given. Hopefully it's not regularly that way. Otherwise,though, really good food and service. Would say I'd go back there againParking: Lot right on site. Seems sufficient, unless super busyKid-friendliness: Has kids menu. Think it would work well as eatery to have kids alongWheelchair accessibility: There's kind of a raised deck part of seating area: however, plenty space regular ground level, and, of course, accessibility“

“Went here in April 2024 and it was everything I didn't think it would be. We reserved space for a huge family dinner and we were offered a space in back of the restaurant all to ourselves. This was fantastic and my family used EVERY square inch of the space. The staff accommodated all of our requests and needs. The staff smiled and happily meet all of our needs.Lastly THE FOOD:Each dish we ordered was large, more than enough food and DELICIOUS! We ordered everything from ribs to waffles to salads and everything was great. Our meals were perfectly seasoned and the hot meals came out HOT and the meals that were supposed to be cold, like salad, were cold. It took some time to get our meals (which was ok because we know it was made to order) but each dish was great and reasonably priced. Danny, our server, was very calm in the chaos. Danny was incredible and I hope everyone is made aware of this! We definitely will visit again.“

“The food here is delicious. I ordered a Mac and Cheese with Brisket and Fried Pickles. The reason for the 4/5 stars is the price to ratio of food. For those two Items it came out to 29 dollars, 10 for Mac +8 for brisket+ 10 for Friedpickles. I was rather disappointed in the portion mac and cheese, if i had to guess I would say it was 1 1/2 cups of delicious mac and cheese, which felt rather small for 18 dollars of mac and cheese with brisket.“

Hopefully you bring spectacular company with you because it'll make for a time to remember.We enjoyed the signature drinks like the Beekeeper (soft and delicate), the Rustik Old Fashion (unique and exquisite), and the Jekyll & Chai (exotic high). Appetizers included the roasted brussel sprouts, the village bakery bread and the Leche Verde Scallops (yum!). Dinner included the Rustik Burger (holy smokes!), the Wagyu Sirloin (like melted butter), and Creamy Bianca Pasta (c'mon!!). Nothing was boring. Nothing was lacking. Everything was spectacularly delicious.Dessert included generous servings of creme brulee and the chocolate brownie. Oof. People please. I became a VIP tonight. Woof!Reservations not required.

For somebody who doesn't get an opportunity to find liver that often in different restaurants flows does really good job of it. ...so liver lovers unite!“

We highly recommend the nachos and Mac. I was a bit confused that the salad didn't come with dressing, but the waitress happily brought us a side of ranch. Drinks were good, we ordered the whiskey lullaby (but they couldn't make it) so got an old fashioned instead and it was good. The "just keep swimming" was my favorite drink, it was just full to top of the fishbowl with ice. I'd probably ask for less ice next time. The inside is a little dark and loud. But all in all very good food and a very good experience. And we will absolutely return.“

I chose the pork chops, but got the breakfast as it was a lot cheaper. We were both very pleased with our orders. She was able to make herself four tacos and loved her rice and beans. My pork chops had great flavor. I loved my hash browns as well. My two eggs and biscuits and gravy were also very good. An added bonus was at the drinks fountain. They had grape soda. When do you ever see grape soda? I enjoyed the change...mmmm! The service was outstanding and everyone in the place was cheery. Great atmosphere.“

The food is great, but the atmosphere and the opportunity to spend time enjoying the outdoors on their back patio with loved ones makes it even more special.

“I'd like to start my second review for here telling you about our server. Oh, but wait... taco Wednesday is great, the tacos are very tasty and have all the stuff, yummy and only $1.25. Not only the best deal in town but also the best flavor! Taste matters. Ooo yeah, the server... they have a great patio area, too. It was nice sitting outside. However, that smog cloud of cannabis was not appreciated at all. And it was a smog cloud. They were asked to stop, but it was not enforced, and management never followed up to watch the back of their staff. Management, please allow me to remind you that smoking cannabis inside or outside in public places is still against the law. Please be reminded I shouldn't have to choke down my meal in a cloud of cannabis or drive home smelling like I took part in the activity. Kinda put a dark cloud on the fun we wanted to have. And then there was our server, Kim. She was so much fun and so funny. She brought our tacos faster than any place we have ever been for tacos. Our drinks were yummy, too. But that Kim girl really tried hard to make us overlook the rude group beside us that took no one else into consideration. They almost killed our not buzzed experience. Kim, N will be back. Just please show this to management to remind them of the law or to at least have them install fans to clear the air on the patio from contact highs. 2024 cannabis smells NASTY and is still not legal to smoke or vape in public places! Finally, my review says check out Sires for sure! The food and service are great. VISIT KIM TOO. Sadly for everyone concerned a few inconsiderate customers at one table ruin things for everyone. It's just not cool. Good thing I didn't get pulled over and booked for a DUI for that nasty SMELL.“

“My local mom & pops burger spot.I love to support family businesses.I would rather buy a burger here any day than at a monopoly franchise like McDonalds. WAY BETTER INGREDIENTS! We've all been to hit or miss fast food spots, but in my opinion, this place never disappoints.They have a variety of burger combos. I always order them with grilled onions instead of regular onions. They're probably my go-to item when i don't plan on cooking at home. I like switching it up and ordering different types of burger combos.*My personal favorites are the Riverwalk burger and the ABC burger listed at the bottom of the review.I usually order over the phone & the wait time is approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Perfect time and distance from me.This is not only a burger joint, but they also serve great breakfast items, including the hangover cure item - Menudo. If you've had a long Friday night of drinking, nothing beats saturday morning hangovers better than Menudo.The weekends tend to be their busiest. The morning rush can sometimes have you waiting for your order. If you don't plan on eating there, calling and placing an order is your best bet; time your wait time and your distance. Otherwise, place an order at the counter and enjoy your meal there. (Free drink refills)Items I've personally tried and recommend, listed below. The items with 2 stars ** are the ones i recommend if you're a first time vistor here. ENJOY !*Cheese burger combo with fries & drink*Bacon cheese burger with fries & drink**Riverwalk burger combo includes sourdough bread buns, cheese, pickles, avocado, bacon, tomato, thousand island sauce, fries, & drink**ABC burger combo includes regular burger buns, avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato, thousand island sauce, fries, & drink* Western burger combo with BBQ sauce, onion rings, bacon, fries & drink**Menudo bowl 52oz with corn or flour tortillas (served on weekends)**Rib eye steak breakfast with eggs, toast, & hashbrowns**ham steak breakfast plate with eggs, toast, & hashbrowns**sunrise breakfast plate with 2 eggs, hashbrowns, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, & pancakes*french toast breakfast plate with 4 pieces of french toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, & 2 sausage*bacon breakfast burrito with bacon, cheddar cheese, eggs, & hashbrowns**Riverwalk burtio with bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese, eggs & hashbrownsIf you're vegetarian, there's a few Mexican dishes to choose from, the veggie burger (meatless), and the vegetarian omelet.Veggie omelet includes: eggs, mushrooms, onions, tomato, bell peppers, avocado, & swish cheese.SUPPORT SMALL HARDWORKING FAMILY BUSINESSES !i will be updating the review and adding photos every time i visit from now on. Im usually with family and haven't honestly taken photos.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger, salads (just ask them to remove the meats), vegetarian omelet, huevos Rancheros, etcParking: There is plenty of parking space in the shopping center. Depending on the day of the week and hours. You might have to park a little further than in front of their establishment. Not entirely an issue, you'll find a parking spot in no time.Kid-friendliness: Great family restaurant with plenty of seating.“

“I've eaten at a Marie calendar's in LA years ago, over 15 years. This year I received my birthday coupon. I usually go to steak houses to celebrate all week long lol. But this year i decided to use most of my freebies that places give. We thought it was going to be packed on a Saturday night. But it was pretty empty. We sat there for about 10-15 min with no one coming to our table to ask for our drinks. I told my husband I'm about to leave this is horrible it's almost empty in here. He said let's give them a chance. So by the time our waitress got there we had our full order ready with drinks and appetizers. So once everything started coming out everything was good and fresh. I ordered a steak and shrimp and hubby had chicken and broccoli. I asked my husband if it was better than Olive Garden. OMG HE SAID YES. ... WAIT WHAT!!!!! HE LOVESSSSSS Olive Garden. Sooo that was a major plus. My meal was very tasteful. They only lost a star for the wait and the cornbread tasted like vanilla cake. We've picked up cornbread in the past cuz the hubby loves it. But for some reason that day it tasted like a vanilla cake that I make it was good, just not cornbread. We will definitely be back.“

C3 Restaurant American • $$

“The Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as I ordered and the brussel sprouts were blistered to be crispy as well as the fries. The steak came covered in a sauce which could have been better on the side I just didn't know it came out like that. The food took about 20 minutes from when I ordered but that is probably the expected time to cook a steak and let it rest. The restaurant interior was pretty empty because it's inside a hotel but the waiter was very nice and checked on me throughout my meal with good service. Great steak!“

“Finally went to Donahoo's in Riverside. Lived up to the hype! Fried chicken like mom's used to make, and the mojo's are off the chain (better than Shakey's). The thing that got me was it was cooked to order (I had to wait 25 minutes for my order) which was cool, because when I got home (a 30 minute drive), my food was still piping hot. Another thing was that before I placed my order I peeked behind the counter and saw cast-iron skillets. I said, "Ok, I'm rockin's with Donahoo's."“

“My friends and I have ordered from this place many times on Doordash but never have we been to the restaurant. We usually get one of the combos that consists of Korean fried chicken, kimbap, and fries. The fried chicken was delicious and packed with flavor and crunch! Kimbap was decent and fries are fries. From ordering dishes at Aria, I can say that everything has exceeded expectations!“

“It's been years since we were last at Lake Alice. Service at the bar was kind of hurting when we went in. Not to many people were there. We didn't have food so I am not rating that. The place did look like it could use a refresh, just not the same.“

“First of all the parking around there sucks if you can even find a place around there to park. But once you get in there, the staff is friendly and the service is great and the food is totally outstanding and delicious. They need longer hours or better yet somebody needs to open a restaurant with all their foods specially, in the northside area.“

Our waitress was so nice to us, for example, we got the buffalo cauliflower for a side, we did not want a certain thing on it, they were really nice to us with no complain and they fixed it right up! For sure 5 stars.“
