My wife and I are the the Rustik Fork and the food and service was amazing. If you are looking for something amazing good food, you can't go wrong at this restaurant. Two thumbs up for me for sure!

Fantastic menu of seasonal items that you will not find anywhere else. Great service, delicious food

This riverside restaurant gets a lot of hype..and i kind of didn't want to like it as much as i did. everything was fabulous! steak, sea bass, appetizers, drinks. my vegan friend was even able to find something delicious on the menu. The service is great. i'm so happy i decided to give this place a try.

First time there, we went for Valentine's dinner. The sea bass was the best we ever had! You have to try the Brussels sprouts too. The servers were very knowledgeable & our drinks never ran empty. Will be going back soon! The servers were

Ambiance was very rustic chic, not what I expected in Riverside. Food was very well prepared with an emphasis on esthetics. The fish was beautifully seared and baked. I will say the dish overall was quite salty. Service was top notch and attentive with good recommendations. Would go back for sure. Friend had the slow cooked beef short rib which he said was incredible.

The dinner we had the night before coming to this restaurant was really underwhelming. This was such a breath of fresh air to finally eat good food. This place is in a strip mall and it's really low-key. You could potentially miss it if you didn't have your GPS on. The inside is really mellow and rustic, and we loved the massive agave plants as we walked in. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server, Casey came up to us promptly and started talking with us about what we'd like to have. Since a wonderful yelper mentioned that the scallops were life-changing, we had to try them. I don't know if I could say that they were life-changing, but they were very good. This year was textbook on the top side only which caramelized the exterior of the oyster and the bottom of the oyster got to just bathe in the delicious sauce without having to worry about getting a soggy bottom. It was a very, very good scallop--almost as good as mom's and better than I've eaten at Gordon Ramsey's restaurants. The loaded fries were topped with short rib and sprinkled with barbecue rub that was brown-sugary with a hint of spice. The catchup was barbecue sauce. I personally devoured the majority of the brussels sprouts. They are so good. They took me back to this time in my life where I was doing long distance cycling. During some rides that stopped by this French restaurant in the Bay Area and eat crisp brussels sprouts that would give me the energy to continue my ride. These reminded me of those. I had the peach burrata salad with Wagyu sirloin. The chef seared this in the most glorious way, the seer put a crunchy bark on the outside of the meat and cooked the inside of steak to a perfect medium rare. Eating the steak was an experience. I wish I had more time in Riverside to eat at Rustik Fork. I'll have to make a trip soon to try the seasonal menu changes!

Great vegan and vegetarian options! Rustik fork is a cute brunch spot with easy parking and quick wait times. They had a great menu for meat eaters and vegans alike. My friend got a vegan eggs Benedict, I got the French waffle and sweet potatoes, and my husband got Waygu beef and eggs. Very flavorful, definitely coming again! My one thing is that orange juice is $10.

This was the kind of place where I had to battle with my inner Scrooge. Yes, it's quite pricey, but hear me out. It's attractive inside, the service is stellar, the food is classic, generous, and wonderful. I could never have contemplated such a cool place popping up, let alone thriving, in such a strangely unremarkable area. But it did. And based on our experience today, there is something quite special about this place. It has entranced me. I shall return. And it's quite apparent that I am not alone in that conclusion. Michelle W was our effervescent server. She obviously loved that she works here. She proudly introduced us to their philosophy and standards, talked about their critically sourced suppliers, and gave us good menu recommendations with unbridled enthusiasm. Everything is organic, grass fed, pastured, etc. We were off to a great start, even though I had no doubt this was not going to fit into the usual price range I seek. Since today was a Saturday, they were offering a brunch menu only. I only had eyes for the Chicken & Waffle. Michelle was very specific: this was not a crisp, light Belgian waffle. This is a French waffle. And once I tasted it, I realized it was more like a rich funnel cake, with a fried appearance and more dense. Very nice! Bits of chopped, smokey Nieman Ranch bacon were generously sprinkled over my waffle and fried chicken, and a good maple syrup was served on the side. The chicken breast was cooked perfectly, tender and moist, with a nice crispy batter. This entire entree made me extremely happy. It's very filling, with plenty to bring home, even though I am pretty sure it won't be as magical later. Mr B had seen pictures of their short rib, but unfortunately, that is not a brunch item. So instead, he chose the Brunch Burger, a 1/2 lb of high-quality ground meat with an outstanding smokey flavor, topped with Nieman Ranch bacon, and a fried egg whose perfectly cooked yolk dribbled sensuously down the side. The burger patty appeared to be much bigger than most, and I am assuming it is because the quality of the meat was so wonderful, there had to be less shrinkage. Regardless, it was an exceedingly memorable tasting burger that could easily have fed two. It was accompanied by fried potatoes that were exceptionally creamy inside, crisp on the outside, and seasoned with a delightful, garlicky seasoning salt. They were sinfully delicious. Again, half of it was destined to be another meal. Yay! Rustic Fork has capacity for only around 40 people. Hence, consider making reservations during peak times. Reservations can be made using your Yelp app. If it were up to me, I would strongly suggest you start checking underneath your couch cushions and around your car seats to come up with the extra change to spoil yourself here. I am sorry we waited so long.
