Reviewed By Michael B
On a busy Saturday evening, we dropped in for cocktails and bar snacks.The range and quality of drinks was impressive, and the limited dishes on offer, were reasonable value. We enjoyed the musical background entertainment, the historic ambience â and just 'people watching'... Highly recommended, for drinks and light snacks.

I really liked the food here. It is a chain restaurant with a Hawaiian theme. Many options for burgers and they do not upcharge for turkey or veggie burgers. Also offer side salads instead of charging more to get something healthier than fries. Reasonably priced too. The tvs running surfing is a bit distracting while dining as it is entertaining. Good draft beer offerings too. They do have salad and sandwiches. For those avoiding gluten, they do a nice lettuce bun on the burgers which my gluten eating friends tried and said it actually was better than a bun as it allowed a person to taste the meat and toppings.

Stopped for lunch with friend. Very good menu with a lot of choices including Lunch Specials.. Great tasting Burger but pass on the Fish & Chips. Chips OK but fish very soggy. Lots of beer (No Coors Banquet) and basic selection of wines. More of a sports bar atmosphere with lots of TV's but a good place for lunch . Dinner menu looked good also. Service was excellent. Lots of seating and parking garage nearby as this is downtown. Prices were good so try it. Happy Hour 3P to 6P every day. Open 11A to 1:45A every day.

Wicks is a very good sports-bar-type of fun watering hole with good solid food.I've been here several times before, mostly with my buddies after going to the RISR range that is right across the street. It has probably a half dozen big screen TVs, all muted but with sporting events being shown. When I was there today there was an eclectic set of sports shows (fishing, a pro baseball game, 2018 Winter Olympics, and March Madness basketball were up).I am a sucker for Reubens and had one along with Wicks favorite light lager custom draft brew. All of it delicious. Maybe a bit basic on the Reuben side, but delicious.There was a group of 4 guys and a couple all enjoying the stand up bar. An older couple (yeh like I am one to call them OLD!) at a table and another mixed trio enjoying beer and sandwiches not far from me. The only difficulty is that the only person working the entire restaurant/bar was "AJ", the bar tender. It was fine as there were not many people there. But speed of service may be their Achilles Heel.I felt like I was eating my Reuben and enjoying a custom beer at one of my friend's homes. Very casual and comfortable.

American fare from steaks to seafood, plus Mexican favorites, served in a relaxed space with a bar.
Reviewed By TheFranci
This restaurant seemed like a fairly standard sit-down joint, but despite being stuck in the corner of a retail center and somewhat out of sight, it was packed on a Thursday night. The decor is eclectic, but highlights the local community with sports clippings and photos, air base photos, and local historic buildings. Add some Old West flair and I feel like this place actually cares about being here. Nice. The food is good, reasonably priced, and comes with a huge selection of sides to choose from. We went with the fries (a massive serving) and mashed sweet potatoes. Lastly, what made me give this five stars is the great staff. Everyone was attentive, friendly and remarkably efficient.Added bonus: I left my iPad behind and went to see a movie across the lot. I come back at closing and itâs waiting for me and has my receipt taped to the front so they could track me down if I didnât return. Good folks.

We went to the Yard House for some really American food... which means not just burgers, but jambalaya, poke, and burritos to. They have a big menu that ranges wide across popular food genres, and we found the quality good and the food enjoyable. No surprises, but they delivered well.What really stood out was that every single person we interacted with was extremely pro-active, friendly, and had a great attitude. From the front desk, where they apologized for making us wait 2 minutes, to the patient, flexible and accommodating waitress, to the delivery guys who brought the food with a mile, all were great. We left smiling.

Visited 54 Degrees 2 nights in a row as I was staying at the hotel. Ordered the charcuterie plate both nights. They were a little different each night. But both pretty good. One time it had 3 meats instead of 3 and the other it had more berries. I only got the blue tortilla the first night not the second and that was my fave so I missed that. Also had the popcorn chicken, shrimp and fries. All pretty good I would say not over the top bu A-OK. Best to order by the bottle to get the best price on the wine selections. Ours was $35.00 a bottle a good value for a pinot. If you order the carrot cake be prepared if you don't like spice cake cause that was what it tasted like. Oh and the lighting is a bit dim...ok I guess but hard to see the menu. --My server was Issa both nights and she was in training but doing well. She was very kind and attentive to our needs. --

Well the Salted Pig might just become my favourite new place in Riverside. A dark bar, but no loud music or noise, conversation at the table was easy to hear and say. Menu choice limited, but mostly burgers and sandwiches. Which were actually great. The side salad is itself a meal and delicious!

Came here at the suggestion of the local Marriott Courtyard. They were spot on with their suggestion. Great burger selection as well as other great luncheon choices. Portions were huge. No way to finish those sandwiches, which were not a problem. Just wrap up whats left and it became dinner that evening. great atmosphere as well. peanut shells on the floor, which we loved, gave hero's that special look. All the staff friendly, courteous across the board. O K it can be a little noisy at the lunch hour, but when you see that many people enjoying lunch and conversations, you know you came to the right place to eat.
