While the unassuming exterior may fool you, walking through the door to the France House of Crepes greets you with an opportunity to experience delicious French crepes right here in Riverside. The right wall painted a cheerful salmon, with booths pressed up along the sides, and the left wall a bright yellow, combined with checkerboard floors creates the ambiance...
Simple Simon’s is a small, quaint diner offering everything you would expect from a classic American establishment, but elevated. Unfortunately that elevation (and the fact that it’s located downtown), jacked up the price to what we thought was unnecessary. But if you’re looking for classic diner food with a little bit more freshness, this is the place to be.

As of late 2022, the Market at North District has served Lollicup Boba & Tea to the UCR community. The shop has many drinks to choose from, including different types of milk teas, regular teas, slushies and smoothies, each with the option to change the sweetness level which is a great option for people who prefer drinks that are...

Situated inconspicuously by neighboring Back to the Grind on University Avenue and near the Mission Inn, D-Dogs, which opened in July, finally offers a great sports bar and grill to UCR students who are willing to make the trip downtown. As the name may suggest, hot dogs were aplenty.
As my group and I walked in, we were greeted...
If you have never heard of poke, chances are you’ll assume it refers to either Pokemon or the physical act of poking someone; I assure you it’s neither and in fact, it’s quite delicious. A poke bowl takes all the ingredients of elaborately made sushi, mixes it in sauce and places it onto rice (or in this restaurant’s case,...

For what seemed like a quarter or two, the location of Fatburger in the University Village was replaced with dark emptiness and a single giant poster of a cartoon chicken boasting the words “Popcorn Chicken.” Every time I passed by the location, this mysterious chicken logo made me more and more curious about what would replace the burger...

If you’ve never tried one, a dirty chai is a chai latte mixed with a shot of espresso. They’re one of my favorite coffee drinks to get on campus, so I set out to rank both the hot and cold dirty chai options around campus at four different locations.
