Best American Restaurants in Riverside

We visited on a Saturday around 5:15 pm. and was surprised that there was a small group playing nice calm music. Plenty of seating available. Waitress arrived and took our drink order and returned shortly to take our food order. She seemed pre-occupied. Both of our dinners said that they came with sides which below were listed as 4 different sides garlic mashed potatoes, baked potato,carrots and green beans.All were listed at $6 each. We asked to substitute our sides for the 2 sides from those 4 I listed.My dinner arrived with 1 of the sides listed plus the 2 substitutes.When dinner finished our bill arrived with an additional charge for the 1 side. Also I had asked for a glass of house wine listed in the menu as $7 the bill came with a $10 for the wine.As I said the waitress seemed pre-occupied so I will not hold the restaurant at fault for that. Both entrees we ordered (the same) were warm at best the vegetable sides were mostly tasteless.First impression was very good last impression was not so good.May try back another time if we are in the area with hopefully better results

Server was pleasant and brought out our food timely. As always the food was delicious and served warm.

We had a very large party and they were very accommodating. Servers were pleasant and helpful. Thanks!

The hostess cancelled my rsvp when I called & told her I was running a few minites late & was driving. I had to pull over & reenter my reservation. She cancelled it again. ??? Had to pull over & add again...I think she finally got it, that I was on my way.

This was...an adventure :) Took my wife as a 'surprise' dinner and we were ot disappointed! I guess one MUST love pickles 'casue you pretty much get pickles from the get go Gabi - our waitress was absolutely AMAZING and the food was beyond scrumptious We had "The Pickle Experience" which included 5 different pickles for an app, 3 Parmesan & 3 Crab spears, Fried Pickles, 6 boats (Florence, Buffalo Dilly, BBQ, Chicken-Bacon Ranch, Philly Cheeserteak & Taco) Wait - if that is not 'enough' there were Fried Oreos for dessert :) 2 non-alcoholic drinks each What a FEAST!!!! We'll definitely try to go back - the only setback is that its a bit of a haul from home.
