We came here late afternoon wasn’t busy at all. I had breakfast with a waffle and a sausage patty and I enjoy it. My wife had the chicken enchilada with beans and rice, and it was good too. The portions were big. The server was attentive and friendly. It was a good meal that sure we’ll return

My son took me out to lunch. He highly recommended this place I had the avocado bacon, jalapeño burger, and a side order of onion rings. Both were cooked to perfection. At a affordable price ,first impressions mean a lot very clean place and the service was excellent.

This was my first time visiting and everything was amazing. The food was great, but I’m writing this review mainly for our server Giaza. She was so warm and friendly as soon as we walked in. The best service I’ve had in a very long time. I would come back and would recommend this place because of her (the chicken and waffles are a pretty good reason too).

An excellent place for a quick bite, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Ordered a patty melt which came out great. The fries were so good, they were crispy and large. The sandwich tasted amazing. The club sandwich was also very good.

Our first time here. Never a parking spot available, and now I know why. The food and portion size are amazing. Prices are good and value is great! Megan was an amazing server. Sweet and attentive, never had to ask for anything. She’s a treasure! Don’t miss out. Great food, atmosphere and service!

I was bummed that the waffle and chicken combo went up in price 30% and the amount of chicken reduced by 25%. If you look at their online menu the waffle and chicken shows and states you get the waffle with either 1/2 chicken or 4 strips when in reality you now only get 3 strips. I can understand the price increase but why a price increase and a chicken reduction by 25%? I paid cheese cake factory prices for one waffle 4.5oz of chicken and two eggs. I had to request replacement chicken because the chicken on my plate was over cooked and tough. Last I noticed the strips on the online menu were not the same as what I was served and was told the strips on the online picture were served at the Fontana location and not Riverside. The breakfast my wife ordered was fantastic which was cinnamon roll French toast. Wait staff was excellent but again I do understand raising prices but reducing the amount of chicken from 4 strips to three at the same time made me feel like I was being gouged. Fix your online menu pictures to match what you are actually serving and switch to the type of chicken strips that you serve in Fontana, the strips served in Riverside Magnolia location do not fry very well and are too chewy for me to eat. I’ll definitely go back here to eat again just won’t touch the waffle chicken plate. I should have a sent my plate back and tried something different. Service and atmosphere was 5 star A+.
