George’s Drive-In

George’s is a Riverside institution that has been making customers fat and happy for decades. Made to order food, this is not a place to go if you’re in a hurry. Delicious, large charbroiled burgers, pastrami and killer beanless chili are some of the highlights. On my last visit I ordered a ground beef burrito with cheese and onions. The burrito was ultimately satisfying, tons of delicious ground beef flavored with cumin and oregano, fresh chopped onions, and tons of cheddar cheese. When I added their homemade hot sauce I was in Pig Out Heaven. Nothing fancy here, just good grub.

Food was ok. Prices were ok. But it was one of the most dirty places I have ever seen. Tables were all dirty. All around place was filthy and disgusting. Never will we return.

I had the George special, good tasting burger, fries are thick cut and crunchy, out side eating only, Seen someone order a burrito and it was huge, prices are great. Will be bsck when I am in the area.

I usually get the veggie burger with fries and a drink for my girlfriend the burger is okay. It doesn’t have much flavor and there is definitely better out there. The thing I love is their fried zucchini thiugh. They’re small so the ratio between the bread and zucchini is perfect. Their ranch dip is great too. I’ve always had their food to go, but the dine in doesn’t look too appealing. Outside there are always bees and inside doesn’t feel clean. Overall it’s an okay location with many different options.

This is a great spot bring cash tho it’s kinda old school.
Every time I come here I’m reminded of my childhood the pastrami is on point and the people are always nice take it to go though

This is the worst experience I’ve ever had. It’s been 40 minutes and I’m still waiting for a hamburger! When you ask someone where your food is they nevertheless have answers for you. They had to stop taking orders so they could catch up on orders! STAY THE HELL AWAY!

Been going to this place for 10 years, I’m now 26 been ordering 1 thing since I started going breakfast burrito, phone order in advance of the if you want to avoid the wait. The lady who usually answers the phone is really nice and helpful always a pleasure to have her take my order. The guy with the cheesy mustache is really… bleh, had me on hold for 15 minutes for my order that takes 10 minutes, tried to call back for another 5 minutes to a dial tone telling me he still hadn’t hung up the phone since putting it down and putting me on hold. Great food and great service as long as the incredibly friendly nice lady takes your order.

This place has the best tacos I have ever had. They have a huge selection of delicious food and everything I’ve ever had was really good. There are some weird people out front waiting for food at times, but don’t worry, they’re harmless.

One of the best places to eat in Riverside, reasonable and good food. The breakfast is delicious.

Umm gorges is usually pretty good if you get the breakfast burrito get sausage it’s better than the bacon also the fries been pretty weak lately wassup with that not feeling it like I use to that’s just me!

Come hungry and leave with more change in your pocket than you would have thought. Local favorite. Your basic burger place menu with breakfast and a Mexican side menu thrown it. Everything tastes so good and is made to order. The hot sauce kicks it all up a notch.

Long wait for the food and but worth it. My daughter ordered the tamale and it was super small. like 3 bites and done.

First time here i was in the mood food for mexican got a carne asada burrito wasnt that great but it wasnt bad just ok. Also the steak sandwich was horrible.

So this morning I was craving a breakfast burrito. I Unilocaled around and ended up here. Place looks like it’s been around since the 1950’s. It also looks like it hasn’t been renovated since the 1950’s. Anyways, ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito for under $ 5 and a order of fries. After 10ish minutes my number was called.
The burrito was huge filled with spicy chorizo, cheese, eggs and onions. It was heavy, dense, oily, cheesy but nonetheless delicious! My type of breakfast burrito. The hot sauce that came with it complimented it perfectly. I ate barely half and was full. The rest will become my midnight snack tonight hehe. The fries were thick cut and would satisfy 2 people. Make sure you get it with ranch!
Unilocalers rave about their burgers so I’ll be back for those and more breakfast burritos!

Not bad! I didn’t have very high expectations for a place that looks like this one does but the food was pretty tasty.
I ordered the large hamburger and the triple decker club. The burger was pretty good. It was cook very well, but it was unremarkable. The party is squished so thin that each bit is more lettuce and sauce than burger. For the sandwich, the smoked turkey was a little overwhelming and actually tasted kind cheap. The tomatoes were all core so I had to take them which made this just a lot of bread. I also ordered the fried zucchini, and it was actually perfect. Not overlooked and with plenty of fresh ranch dressing. This was clearly the highlight of the meal.
The prices were pretty reasonable. I was a little Leary of the homeless guy pacing the parking lot, but he kept his distance so it was ok.
3 stars is kinda non committal but that’s what this place is worth. Not bad, not great, just ok.

Unilocaled a burger joint cuz we felt like burgers. This was one of the higher rated ones in the area so we gave it a shot. Went there for lunch (me and my 2 boys) and to be honest, we were not terribly impressed. We ordered two cheeseburgers and one BBQ cheeseburger. The difference between the cheeseburgers and BBQ cheeseburger was a ton of BBQ sauce. I expected a tad more. maybe fried Onion rings… maybe some bacon… The burgers were a tad on the over cooked side. There was shredded lettuce which I like. The fries were on point. Nice size and well fried. Not soggy.
There were plenty of seatins both indoor and outdoor. Service was decent.
However, I come to these kinds of places for the food.
All in all, I was not terribly impressed.

Burgers, onion rings, also has vegetarian options. It’s been here for years and we come back whenever we’re in the area.
Breakfast served 7:30 — 11:00 which is also good.

This place is a Riverside mainstay. It’s been here forever, owned by the same person for 40 some odd years, I’d say they are doing something right.
Solid burgers with very few frills. I love the thick steak fries. They have other menu items, like Mexican food and breakfast food which are all good, but really this is a burger joint. The shakes are a must try.
Be prepared to wait as it’s a popular place. It’s nice to know burger joints still exist.

Be prepared to share. We finally tried George’s and I’m so mad it took us this long! I had the Bacon Swiss Burger with a side of curly fries. My cousin had the pastrami sandwich and fried zucchini. You really only need one side for every three or four people! They give you half a bag of your side! The zucchini and fries were tasty, and my cousin loved her pastrami sandwich. They charge for sides of ranch, but it’s worth it. The dressing tastes amazing.
My burger was okay. The meat is wafer thin, so you’ll want to either order a burger with a bunch of toppings or get a double patty if you’re not planning on filling up on sides. The bacon and swiss were thick and plentiful though.
It’s a solid hamburger stand, and we’ll definitely be back.

If you’re ever in the mood for some fast delicious burgers, I recommend checking this place out.
I got the avocado burger and it was very yummy. However, the highlight would be their deep fried zucchini! It’s pretty much the best thing there. I highly recommend sharing it because it comes in a big bag of deliciousness. Their homemade ranch dip is also great.
This is more of a park-​to-​go kind of place. There are some tables outside, but the area at night can be somewhat questionable. But other than that, definitely order their zucchini!
