Riverside Grill

I found a place that is totally under-​the-​radar, so that I don’t have to deal with the long lines at a chain like IHOP nor the brunch crowds elsewhere.
Overall, I had a solid breakfast for around $ 7. Good bacon, good eggs, good toast, good coffee. Hashbrowns were just okay.

This place must be best place I’ve ever been it has the most amazing food and excellent customer service. Riverside is amazing it makes me wanna tip them $ 100 but yes I would go back there

Hubby and I both love this diner, it’s in a semi seedy, rundown side of tracks, nestled between the Design District and before you get to the new explosion of Bishop Arts.
The prices here cannot be beat, you can get a chicken fried chicken steak with 2 veggie sides for under $ 8, what year is this, I mean seriously, in Dallas of all places.
Cool spot, if you’re into diner foods and traditional breakfast served after 12pm you’ve got put this place on your weekend brunch to-​do list.

Open for lunch and breakfast. Just had a Classic Cheeseburger and fries. Big in size and flavour. Lots of local traffic, came across it on a run to the post office. Give this one a try!

Lunch was bleh. I’m thinking this is more of a perfect breakfast place or somewhere a single woman could meet a man. Fantastic service & prices is why I gave it a 1 star.

Food is overpriced for what you get. Turkey was dry and chewy and dressing was terrible. Buddy had the goulash, wasn’t bad. Good fries though, and the rolls are decent… But the cornbread is drier than a popcorn fart!

Hard to beat the bang for the buck. Finally tried this place out after years of driving by it. When Purple Onion closed, I had to find a new comfort food place, and Riverside was just down the street. They offer full meals for a more than reasonable price, and served fairly quickly. Décor and all that isn’t too great, but plenty of windows to stare out of!

If you’re on this end and you would rather have a home cooked breakfast rather than McDonalds, Burger King and Jack in the Box (all within a couple minutes walk) this is the place for you. Casual and friendly atmosphere with nice southern hospitality, and pretty decent meal.

In short, if you’re looking for some cheap grub that has a home style feel to it, this is the place. Has that small town feel to it and our server was an easy going guy. Food was prepared quickly and was pretty good for being so affordable.

My family and I found this wonderful restaurant while in Glen Rose today. Place was charming, our server was very attentive and charming, and the food was out of this world. We will definitely make the 3 hour round trip again!

I’m stuffed! Good, solid hole in the wall with affordable prices and a friendly staff. I will admit that I wasn’t immediately impressed by the décor or outside appearance, but after a few minutes I felt comfortable and just decided to enjoy the experience. There is one main waitress who makes sure you are taken care of. The main dining area is small, with a long row of tables, flanked by red booths around the perimeter of the restaurant. You seat yourself and the waitress will come take your order.
You really can eat here on the cheap. For 5 adults and two children, the bill totaled about $ 60. Which, in my opinion, is pretty good for brunch. We all ate our fill and had refills on soda and juice.
There are several eggs/​meat/​toast/​grits/​biscuit combos to choose from, all under 7 dollars. There’s also omelettes and specialty breakfast plates, none over $ 9.
There’s a good amount of lunch and burger options as well.
We all got brunch. I especially liked my side order of pancakes. There was a little extra something in the batter, maybe a hint of cinnamon, that I really enjoyed.
I would definitely come back again. If you’re looking for simple, fill-​you-​up food for excellent prices, definitely pay Riverside Grill a visit.

They have pretty good breakfast specials. I’ve never had lunch here, so, this review will focus on breakfast. This has become my go to on Sundays when The Purple Onion (PO) is closed. Service here is always friendly, and, it’s a seat yourself. I like that they have pushed a bunch of tables together to make one long table that can seat 30 people. Their floor space is limited and they utilize it well.
Breakfast is just ok. Pales in comparison to The Purple Onion, but, much better than Mama’s Daughter’s Diner. Here, I get friendly communication and they are willing to mix it up for me. For instance, I can get my hashbrowns fried up with jalapeño’s and onions. Just like at PO, but, not as good. Biscuits here are quite skinny, and, they do not have sausage gravy. Bacon and ham are typical diner salty crap. However, I prefer to come here instead of Mama’s Diner.
As I stated, this is only a go to when PO is closed. I would not go out of my way to come here.

Being from out of town, I was a little put off by the neighborhood, and the outside appearance. But all that was put aside when we entered. Walk in party of seven was immediately accommodated in a family style dining area. The simple breakfast fare was executed perfectly. The «honey express» specialty dish was ordered, This was a french toasted honey bun. It was very sweet… delicious. I wish I could eat here every day.

we stopped in for a fast, easy and cheap breakfast before our morning at the Perot.
the food was just OK, but it was fast and very cheap.
easily get a big breakfast for around $ 5 – 6 per person here.
much of the food goes through a microwave before serving and the biscuits are factory made… but it’s cheap. the area is not the best and but it is close to downtown.

Wonderful service, great food, and easy on the bank account. Who knew that existed anymore!
The blackened catfish in a sandwich or on its own is fantastic. Partner that with some black eyed peas and fried okra and you’ll get one of the best diner meals of Texas bliss in Dallas.
Be ready for the roadside ambiance, but the service these lifetime pros will provide will put a smile on your face.
Eat too much? Well don’t fret because you can head right over to the Continental Ave pedestrian park and Trinity Skyline trail and walk it off.
A great diamond in the rough in Big D.

I first found this place in 2007 on my way in to work one day. What can I say, I love a good meal to get the day going! It’s an old school diner off Riverside (now Riverfront) where hipster has moved in, but this diner remains. You just can’t beat the food and price! My breakfast, which consists of hash browns, 2 eggs, biscuit & gravy plus four stripes of bacon cost me only $ 5.25. I came in today after almost seven years of absence and the seat cushions still have tape on them and the employees haven’t changed. As the metroplex grows and changes, I hope this place never does.

We come here often, leave stuffed to the point of being sick, and can’t wait to come back.
My favorite place to eat. Period.

Solid no-​frills diner breakfast.
Prices were cheap, service was very friendly. I liked seeing the after church crowd locals come in and all sit together.
Bacon was nice and crunchy the way I like it, and everything else was very tasty.
Coffee was strong and they kept on pouring.
Will definitely keep this on my list of places to go when I feel like simple breakfast that someone else cooked.

It’s just an average place for breakfast. The food was perfectly fine although a bit greasy. There’s just nothing special about this place though. The tables and chairs also looked a bit dirty. I would much rather grab a breakfast burrito at Taco Joint or crepes at Buzzbrews.
It’s fairly cheap though and you get good sized portions for what you pay. I think «perfectly average» is a great phrase to sum up my feelings about this joint.

I was looking for a simple breakfast the no frills type. I found it at this morning at riverside grill. They were slammed today & short handed but the food made up for it and the server was really apologetic from the beginning. I was worried it might have just been me since people were dressed in their Sunday best and I walk in like it’s summer with a tank top and shorts.
I ordered the #5 which was two pancakes, eggs made to order, 1 sausage patty and 2 pieces of bacon. They were all served on one plate but it was damn good. I really enjoy the simpler diner type of place and this food serves breakfast all day so that’s a plus. I can’t wait to get back and try the lunch menu. They also have an enclosed patio with small garage type doors but the windows that are opened have screens in the windows. I did also see ashtrays on some tables but didn’t see anyone smoking which is a plus for me.
