Zorba’s Restaurant

I guess this place has been around for a long time.
My boyfriend brought me here and said they had good burgers blah blah blah
I ordered the California hamburger comes with lettuce tomato bacon avocado…
Can’t got wrong with that!
It was super good way better than I expected from a small little place like this!
It wasn’t too greasy or heavy like most the hamburger places.

One of my favorite local places to go. Get in the drive thru at 8:50pm (open til 10) and there’s 2 cars in front of me. Lady on the speakers says that they’re closed and the grills are turned off. Total BS. I know about saving labor and closing when it’s low, but you have 2 cars ahead of me. And as I backed out the drive thru to leave there were people still eating inside. BS.

Extremely cheap restaurant that has a variety of foods such as burritos and burgers. One thing I truly recommend is their zucchini fries. One of the best burger places that I have been to in riverside.

Hours on Unilocal are incorrect. This place closes before 9

If you want something made without cucumber then I suggest you don’t bother with this eye sore of a fast food place. No breakfast after 11am. So okay, I will have a salad without cucumbers. The girl looks at me as if I asked for the world. Dirty fast food place to boot!

Good-​Bye In-​n-​Out. Lover for family owned businesses, this is definitely my new burger fix for Riverside!
For first timers like me, I highly recommend trying out this combo:
— Zorba burger (For their infamous pastrami gorge)
— Zucchini Fries (or any other fry entrée) with their homemade ranch (surcharge is worth it, if not included)
— Top it off with a fountain drink because their Fountain Drink Machine has a variety to mix with including ginger ale!
Don’t expect anything too much out of their setting, it’s a typical burger joint, one that I would definitely come back for any burger craving to try out the rest of the menu.

Ate here yesterday and was so delighted! Great burgers and the fried zucchini was the best I’ve ever eaten. Wonderful and friendly customer service. Great pricing too! Will definitely be back with my family! Thank you for the great food and friendly atmosphere.

Zorba’s the best. Fried Mushrooms… bomb. Fried zucchini… bomb. Their Juicy Burgers, hot salty fries, and my personal fave, the gyro… bomb! They have the upgraded soda machine. I recommend getting down to use it.

Looks better on the outside. Looks better by overall rating. A bit over rated I think. And I do know what to expect from a place like this.
Met my Nephew across the street this past Saturday to have his brakes looked at. We were all starving and looked to Zorbas for the closest quickest breakfast we could find. And the high overall rating had me sold.
The food just wasn’t that fresh tasting or flavorful. Breakfast Burrito, Hot Cakes, Eggs, Egg Sandwich. None was terribly great. The cashier asked me if I wanted cheese and salsa in my Breakfast Burrito, I said yes to both. Got charged for one of them! Wouldn’t cheese be included? There’s salsa on the table. No need to charge me to put it inside. Weird.
I guess we could have done worse. I did feel like we should have drove just a short distance to Bakers though.

Hands-​down, best cheeseburger special around! I used to eat here regularly when I worked in Colton years ago. It’s been almost 9 years since I last ate here and to my surprise, the food is still as great, if not better, today!
I highly recommend this place to those who are craving a great-​tasting burger and thick, crispy French fries. Don’t forget to grab a few yellow chili peppers from their condiment bar; they make all the difference!

Breakfast is only served until 11am. Disappointed. It’s near the freeway, but not in a great location. Nothing else really around there so you would actually have to plan on going there. Otherwise you wouldn’t even know it exists. Good food. Average portions. Reminded me of a Mad Greek. Prices are reasonable and the people seem helpful.

Been to Zorbas three times now… Each and every time there was no as in zero as in nada soap in either the ladies room or the men’s room.
Yes, each time I gently informed them that this being a restaurant they seriously need soap in the bathrooms.
Each visit I told them that they had no soap they seem totally surprised like «wow» «really no soap»???
I won’t worry about them not having soap anymore… I will never return.
If you go I suggest you bring your own soap if you would like to eat you food with clean hands.

This is a decent burger joint but they gotta step up the cleanliness. You can’t help but think how they handle food if they can’t handle keeping bathrooms or the place in general clean. But I won’t lie, the burgers are on point. I would recommend the pastrami burger, it’s crazy good. Fries and zucchini aren’t anything special, what you would expect from a burger spot. It’s not my regular burger place but if I’m in the area and craving one, I’d stop by.

Let me start off by saying that their food is extremely delicious. I’ve only been here twice however their food never disappoints. If you’re coming here for the food, go through the drive thru. This place would’ve gotten 4 maybe even 5 stars if it weren’t for the employees. After ordering and waiting for our food, we saw one of the employees mess up an order. The customer didn’t yell, they just walked out the door because they had been waiting for their food for a while. As they were getting in their car, the employee ran outside and started to yell at them. After the customers drove away the employee came back in and said, «what bad people». Not the best customer service. In addition the restaurant looked like it needed a good clean up. Several employees walked by tables that needed to be cleaned up. This place has great food but needs better workers!

The only reason I gave this spot 3 stars is bc of the food, food was pretty good other than that this place has no customer service except for a girl with colored eyes who took our order she was very sweet. As far as the other employee she was very lazy and rude.
When I asked her for dressing she yelled at another employee saying «they need some dressing» then ended up calling us through the speaker saying «your dressings ready» mind you we were sitting across the way… Not that hard.

I had plenty of friends here that recommended Zorbas and I finally took a chance to get it.
Why did I wait so long? It was a blessing to my life because the food was absolutely amazing. I had so many feelings course through my body as I took a bite into their burger. It was the Zorba Special and it was a gift for the heavens.
If you’re ever in the area, try out Zorbas. You won’t regret it, especially if you’re a burger lover.

I only continue to come here because their food is amazingly delicious. They have a large variety of food from breakfast to steak dinners. Again, its a fast food restaurant so don’t expect a fancy steak. The food is made in front of you and you can watch them. Plus, they give large portions!
The store is dirty. There are a lot of things that can be cleaned and not just wiped down with the same rag over and over. However, 3 starts because their customer service is horrible. They will leave you waiting to order while they are chatting right in front of you! When your food is ready, no one is standing there and you awkwardly just have to take the food.

The chili cheese fries are really good if you add salt. The shakes are made with real ice cream. The food is ok. My husband refers to the owner as the Soup Nazi but I didn’t see why until the second visit.
1−22−16 Well, I’m guessing I got lucky on the first visit. From 5 stars to 1 because I finally saw what my husband was talking about when he referred to the owner as the soup nazi. She was in a horrible mood, mean to everyone, including me. He says she is always like that. The first day I went with him was apparently so rare he had never seen her in a good mood before. I bought more then 20 dollars of food today and forgot a side of thousand island and she almost wouldn’t give it to me because I didn’t have cash and she didn’t want to take my card because she gets charged 35 cents for the transaction. I chose to pay the 35 cents but I won’t be going back and that isn’t the only reason why. She grilled me on why I was ordering so much food and only one drink. I didn’t think that was any of her business but I was polite anyway and told her that I would be taking some with me. In spite of that, she made several comments that I must be really hungry. She watched me like a hawk as if I was going to share my drink with someone else. As an owner of a food establishment, you would think that they wouldn’t care how much food you are ordering, just that you are ordering. The more food that is ordered means the more money she is making and yet she chose to make it her business on how much I was ordering and why. I felt as if I needed to explain my whole meal for her including my plans for later and then felt under a microscope the whole time I was eating. I only had half a cheeseburger and an order of biscuits and gravy and she made another comment about how hungry I must be. I took the rest of the food with me like I had planned from the start and will not be going back. I don’t imagine this place will last long with the Soup Nazi behind the counter. It is quite sad because the place has potential if someone would learn to clean it up a little bit and mind their own business.

All I know is the zucchini kills the game! Doesn’t really matter what else you order… as long as you substitute the fries!
My 1^st «yelp» review EVER is an honor because the zucchini is really that damn good! #FatGuy

My go to burger place!
The only burger place I would go to besides In-​N-​Out in Riverside.
The main reason I come here is for their FRIED Zucchini and pickles ^^ The burger is okay. It’s made fresh once you order. As for the soda machine, it’s heaven. They have so many different flavors. Love the Dr. Pepper Vanilla!
As for the price, it’s doable. Somehow the prices keeps going up everything I come here though. :(
**Tip: You get special student discount! It’s only from certain cashiers though.
