Riverside Community College Culinary Academy

Today I joined my dear friend Dee for lunch at the Riverside Culinary school/restaurant. Dee’s grandson Mason is attending the school with so many others pursuing their dreams. It was nothing like I thought and I never heard of it before. It’s just like any nice restaurant from the moment you walk in the door. They greet and seat you, hand you a menu, bring you the best bread and soft butter and take your order. It’s top notch for sure. Our lunch was amazing and it’s only $8.50 no matter what meal you order. The breakfast menu is the same each week but the lunch menu changes. Thank you to Mason and all of the students/staff for doing a super job! I will definitely go back often and will tell my friends. I hope you’ll try it and I’m quite sure you’ll enjoy it as well. Oh, and the peanut butter cookies and Mango Tiramisu are a must. The deserts also change. Try it, you’ll like it!! 😋

I really enjoy seeing my city coming alive with people out and about, today I was downtown and looked around and then I remembered how I had been waiting for the longest to come and check this place out and I was surprised because you couldn't tell by looking at it from the outside but the place was very busy, all tables were full and I saw steady flow of waiters and attendants, all going about serving patrons. My experience was supreme as I was catered to and treated like royalty...like Arnold says "I'll be back"!!.. Thank you guys!🤗

The customer service was phenomenal, i came in during the peak of lunch rush, and got seated within 15 minutes. The woman who took my order and served my food was incredibly sweet and attentive, and the food was amazing! these students are doing such a wonderful job keeping this place running!

Myself a disabled Veteran , wife and son decided to go there for lunch menu, sadly, we waiting 1 hour and a half and our lunch never arrived to our table, very disappointed! We walked out and I let the waitress know how we were disappointed. I would think a Supervisor would have notice us, and there was one there to check tables and what was wrong but nothing happen to help us with with our lunch.

This place is amazing, food is made by student's. Dine in or take out, the place has a friendly environment. The blueberry pancakes are delicious, best burger in town, fries, perfection, flank steak salad, chicken ceasar. I order weekly. Thank you to all students & staff for excellent service.

Thank you for the amazing food and service. Best value meal in the area. Despite how busy it gets, everyone is friendly and nice - the staff and guests as well. The specialty burger is always well crafted, juicy and full of flavor. Can never decide on just one of the dessert options so I get both. Excited to go back and try other items on the menu.

Great School. Good food can't bet the price if you get a chance to visit dont pass the opportunity . 🤙👍
