Nice looking place. The staff were kind of busy and not very attentive. Pancakes were ok everything else had no seasoning. Maybe we'll try again.

This diner is the best! 10/10 on breakfast. I come here at least once or twice a month for breakfast. I usually get the huevos a la mexicana. Have 2 different salsa and both are amazing. They are open on holidays, which is awesome because I was definitely here for breakfast on thanksgiving this year. Same staff every time I’m here and they are absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. Very small place though and it can get busy.

Visiting my father in Riverside and this place had really good reviews so we decided to try it. Unfortunately I would not come back or recommend this place. We spent 140$ only to feel like we were a bother or weren’t accepted in their establishment. They have excessive price gauging. For example additional 2 eggs was $5.90 and then for them to be hard boiled (the same eggs) was an additional $1.90. Which is crazy. When the guy reviewed the order, he went over it extremely fast, and seemed very unpleasant. All of the staff had dismissive attitudes as if they didn’t want our business. Had I not called in prior I would’ve went somewhere else. I wish I could leave 0 starts because the overall experience was underwhelming. Be nice to all people that enter your establishment, and in a customer facing industry, find people that enjoy their job. Even the main lady acted as if my question to her was too much. Just a very unpleasant place. Don’t go.

Large menu selection with so many delicious classics. It has a comfortable diner feel with friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. Food is delicious and made to order. Restrooms are kept nice and clean. I recommend parking facing the diner so you can keep an eye on your vehicle while dining since the surrounding area has a questionable crowd at times also considering it is located on motel property.

Great place to catch up with an old childhood friend! The food was tasty! Especially if you like zucchini fries. Those were especially yummy dipped in ranch dressing! I would highly recommend making a meal plan at Amy's Cafe.

It was my first time visiting Amy's Cafe. My family had been and told me it was a must experience 🥞🍳 breakfast. The pancakes were light, moist and fluffy, the scrambled eggs were perfect and the meaty sausage delicious 🤤. The staff are delightful and full of fun energy. Very attentive to the customer. Well worth going to experience and well worth the dollars. Tip! well for such a great experience.

Came here for the first time around lunchtime on Saturday. Wanted to try someplace new, and the overall reviews looked promising. Typical small-town diner atmosphere. The waitress was very warm and friendly, and the service was fast. We all ordered breakfast, and unfortunately, the food was...disappointing. I thought it was weird that the restaurant was nearly empty when we first walked in (again, given the reviews and the time of day and day of the week we went), but the reason became all too clear once we started eating. The menu prices are higher than average, and the quality of what we got was not worth it. We're going to stick/should have stuck with Norms.

Wowza. This little place packs a punch in the food department. I used yelp of course to locate it and it's a very small diner along Magnolia Boulevard in Riverside . All the reviews are amazing and mine will be the same. The portions were large. I generally get chicken fried steak when I'm out to breakfast and I know that I'm never gonna eat the whole thing and this was no exception. Over medium eggs, perfectly cooked. Chicken fried steak, a generous portion with a really tasty gravy no flour taste in it had added pepper delicious. The hash browns were in a log formation and thick - not super crispy and stringy. I also had sourdough toast and a cup of coffee, which I don't normally drink, but their coffee was really good too! From the moment I walked in the door the servers were attentive and quick and friendly, everything I look for in a server at a restaurant. Humorous and funny. The price for my meal ran around 15 bucks and the coffee was additional on top of that. Super good price for the quality of this place that seems to be a hidden gem in Riverside! Kudos Amy's!! (They also seem to have some great Mexican options. There were lot of people after me and around ordering enchiladas and things like that - Viva)

*BEWARE OF DISCRIMINATION: We've been coming here for about 2years, food is good and the "waitresses" are friendly but NOT Veronica THE OWNER she DISCRIMINATES, well to our family, maybe it was the Trump hat or the Christian apparel we wear that causes her to be RUDE, UNFRIENDLY, goes out of her way to ignore us and when it's up to her she makes us WAIT to be seated! After 2 years you'd think we'd have better customer service than the service Veronica gives us! So if you do come here DON'T WEAR ANYTHING CHRISTIAN APPAREL or TRUMP GEAR if you don't want to be discriminated against by Veronica!

Great service and food. I love the variety of pancakes they have. The coffee is just as good as Starbucks

My son had a doctor appointment at Kaiser and we were both hungry after getting out and I thought to myself, we haven't been to Amy's since he was little, why not go today? So we stopped by. I'm so glad we did because the food was delicious! I love they have breakfast, lunch, dinner all day! I decided to get a chile verde omelette with home fries (they don't come with bell peppers & onions, but can add for added charge) and you get another side item, so I went with the dollar pancakes. The omelette and home fries are huge and you get all of it for about $16. I ate half and had the leftovers the next day. My son got the hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes & gravy. It was also huge and he was able to get two meals out of it. I do wish it came with some sort of veggie though. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. We're going to start coming here more often. Great little spot with delicious diner food.

Tried the place for a pancake take out order, service was good, the place looks nice, will try it for breakfast next time. The pancakes were so fresh and delicious.

The food here is always great! It's a mom & pop breakfast & lunch cafe and it always hits the spot, the wait time is about 10 min & the vibe of everything makes you feel at home. The servers are fast, attentive, and kind can't wait to come for my next brunch stop!

Amazing food, clean and nice place and wonderful service. Couldn't have asked for more! Adding another sentence so Yelp can stop complaining about my review not being long enough.

Let me first start by saying I love it here the food is absolutely delicious I may be a little bias seeing as how I am a regular however when you find something that is as good as Amy's you keep coming back my recommendation is to try the huevos rancheros with the chilaquiles sauce!! It's a very clean environment the restrooms are spotless and I love all of the staff that works there they are super friendly and always open for conversation !! Try Amy's you won't regret it !!

Best skillets in the area! Always spotted this cafe growing up but finally decided to give it a few try's. It's a cute little diner located in a motel parking lot. Lots of regulars come in and the service is always great. No complaints at all. A big fan of their skillets as 2/3 times I've been here they've been huge! It's such a large selection on their menus and reasonably priced too. I love adding the French toast as a side. Their French toast is really solid and everything I expect in a French toast. People in my party also love the dollar pancakes. Overall, this is a solid breakfast place with lots of variety and consistent service, I'll be coming back often

Updated review. This is my second time coming to Amy's in over a year. I think since then they've changed ownership. This 2nd go around was satisfying. Breakfast portion was huge. I also enjoyed how they even had a salsa flight free upon request to spice up your entree. The menu item has tons of options to choose from. Lunch is served all day.

Darick R.

Yelp
Our first time here. First of all, we like the old school diner feel. The service was really good. Now for the food. The French toast was really good. The eggs were done perfectly. The sausage was really good, but the chicken fried steak was not so good. The gravy was very floury. The home fries needs more seasoning. Not a horrible place, just an ok place.

Taste like homemade food. The services is great. The atmosphere is really unique. You have to try it. It's delicious. Enjoy the green salsa is the bomb.

The food was solid, the service was great, and the price was affordable. For a simple, good convenient breakfast spot it doesn't get much better.

The food is mediocre; typical american dining food. Reasonably priced and the staff is also friendly. Would go if it was my last resort for breakfast.

Lizzie A.

Went here with my friend and it was so good. The service was great. Ambience was very pleasant and the pumpkin pancakes were delicious

I went in today with my niece and sister to have breakfast. First off, I want to say that the service was terrible. They were not busy at all. The server took forever to take our order and he needs to work on his customer service skills. After we were through, my sister told one of the servers that we needed a box and he just ignored us. We patiently waited but nothing. My sister had to go behind the counter to get the box. He then said she wasn't allowed to be back there. We also noticed someone had ordered a coffee and he patiently waited 5 minutes too long, which is too long to wait since the server was standing right in front of him doing nothing. We are definitely not going back. Mish mash was ok Meat lovers skillet was ok Green chilaquiles was decent

Nicolette G.

The service is amazing and their food is super underrated. I crave it every time I come to California. Definitely coming soon!

Thank you Amy's Cafe for taking care of Everthrives order for a networking luncheon. You were on time, we got a lot of compliments on how good the tacos were and as always you guys have the best customer service. Thank you for making everything so easy.

Was doing my usual walk and decided to give it a try. Two bites into my cheeseburger and the bun started falling apart. It was very difficult to eat so I stopped halfway and left. You'd think $15 you'd at least get a decent bun right?! I'll never go back and I don't recommend coming here for a cheeseburger, import eat. I give this place a

My friends and I come here for brunch/lunch all the time. The food is always delicious, made how we ordered, folks are friendly, and service is swift! My favorite is breakfast & Taco Tuesday.

Big portion dishes with reasonable prices. Like their good quality of farm eggs. Homemade style hash potatoes. Service was great, and the ladies were thoughtful & helpful.

Andrew V.

Yelp
The food was alright but let's talk about the service... we were sat down and waited 10 minutes before the busser noticed we were sitting without any menus or drinks so he got us some waters. We then watched as the two "waiters" went out to vape for another 5 minutes before I inconvenienced them to get us some menus. There's no shame in being an alright breakfast diner but at least have alright service to match! I saw the review about the bad service and figured it was a one off but now this makes me think it's consistent... definitely not coming back. Shoutout to the two skinny curly haired waiters for... waiting around. Monster skillet was average Machaca was pretty good Dollar pancakes were alright

Denise S.

Yelp
Great service. Great food! Portions are HUGE!!!! Chiliaquillas we're good. Spices well balanced, mild and tasteful. The California omelette was amazing. It wasn't too greasy and the home fried potatoes were to die for. It was a little too much food and it would be a good portion for someone to split. We were starving so we ate nearly everything. The food was too good to leave. The strawberry lemonade was amazing! Huge portion and fresh strawberries at the bottom. It was like dessert in a cup. Good coffee as well. Next time I'm in the area, I will stop by again. The menu is huge and there are a variety of items overall it was well worth it. Prices were just right.

We were on our way to Disneyland and wanted a quick bite to eat. I went to trusty Yelp and saw this place. I called my order in and it was ready by the time we showed up. Still hot! We for a bacon breakfast burrito and the breakfast blt w home fries. It was so good! The portions are big, more than enough food for us to have leftovers. I loved the bacon it was thick and cooked just right. My husband said they didn't skimp the cheese and they didn't abuse potato as filler like a lot or places do. We'll be back.

Food was fresh. When she added the homemade salsa to my breakfast omelette it just set it off! I love the coffee creamer selection and wait staff was on point! Ten out of ten recommend

Amy's Cafe is really good the quality of food is fresh and made to one liking The have a good menu for choice you can have served right away. The Staff is friendly and always on top of taking care of your party when dinning here, the service is really good as well as the food served. They have some really good choices to enjoy from and when your meal is brought to you it looks like a painting just an appearance that makes it hard for one to say "Am I going to eat this?" Only because it looks so good. I really enjoy this restaurant they make sure your served on time and the style of cooking is much different than most restaurants in town. When you come her you won't be disappointed to say the least.

Good food and good service it's worth coming here and trying it out. Atmosphere is great aswell

I enjoyed coming to Amy's Cafe. I pass the location all the time and finally stopped for Breakfast. I would come here before Dennys any time.. It felt like a small town cafe. Atmosphere very cozy, employees very friendly, food was good.. If you want to just have a meal with no stress and relax Amy's is perfect.

I've been going here for a lot of years, they never disappoint! I have tried other places for breakfast but I always come back to Amy's. Great service, prices and food!

Service is very good. The restaurant is adjacent to a large motel and is family friendly. A lot of people here on a Saturday morning. I ordered the Eggs Benedict based on other Yelp reviews. I love Eggs Benedict but I wasn't satisfied with their dish, it just didn't hit the spot. The food could have been hotter. The Benedict was not thick, too runny. I think what off putting was that the Canadian Bacon was sweet. The cottage fries were bland. I will be searching for a better Eggs Benedict in Riverside.

Lysandra S.

Yelp
They have a large menu of American and Mexican food for breakfast. They have the best chilaquiles both the red and green are very flavorful. They both are a little spicy but not overwhelming. The chips are very crunchy not soggy at all. I ordered my egg over medium and they were perfect. I highly recommended this place. It is a little small but the service is great.

Nikki E.

Yelp
It's not bad but it's not great... I do appreciate their big portions and price wise it's fair but the quality of food is the same as any other cafe/diner. I've only gotten their breakfast dishes a handful of times. Very greasy.. overly salty.. like I said. Like your typical diner food. The staff are typically very nice and attentive but I must say the location is terrible. It shares space with the sands motel and you can see for yourself with their reviews. Overall, it's okay for a quick bite.

Nice little cafe. The food is wonderful. It's a gem in Riverside. You won't be disappointed

This place is everything you want for a breakfast spot. Our waitress Dulce was the absolute BEST. If you get her as your waitress you are in luck. She is sweet, attentive, and fast! Our food came out fast, great price, and taste great.

Breakfast burrito here is insane. This is such a hidden gem spot. Staff here is amazing and makes you feel at home. Breakfast burrito is legit the size of your head, and becomes lunch and dinner too. Their pancakes, omelettes, and eggs are also delicious. Plus, their coffee is like rocket fuel.

10 out of 10 , 5 out of 5 cannot beat a simple taco for $2.50! The lady was very nice when I walked in and had my to go order ready! Plenty of meat in the taco and they have my business

Came here for the 1st time and I was not impressed food was not that great I should of just had breakfast at home instead.

Reggie S.

Yelp
Oddly enough this was the backup option because the place my partner and I originally wanted to go to was packed so we just sat in the car and looked up places near by and this place looked promising. First off I love places that look unassuming from the outside but inside it was quite pleasant, small and very cozy kind staff and the menu has a great amount of options to choose from for a decent price at that. The food was great the service was great everything was great. We will definitely be coming back

This cafe is like your typical diner. Even on a Saturday the wait wasn't bad cause they have a lot of seating for people waiting. They always kept my coffee full (which to me is THE MOST important thing at a diner). They had a huge menu with breakfast and lunch available all day. Most of their savory breakfast items also come with 2 sides (which could be pancakes or french toast- the best of both worlds)! Everything tasted great, they gave us multiple types of syrup and salsa. The prices were super reasonable. I 100% will be coming here again, loved it! Note: Don't park on the other side of the fence because in that time we were there the tow company called 3 times and said they were gonna tow cars.

I always pass this place every morning before going to work so decided to finally check it out on our day off. My family and I went at 2pm and our server was candy. She was very welcoming and thank you for the service. I even complimented her since she reminds me of my wife's sister. Anyway food was great and will definitely come back. Thank you Amy Cafe!
