I drove a passenger to this spot and decided to have lunch. When I walked in and i was welcomed with a smile and hi, Tenayah Kylie and Clarissa spoke to and and I asked what is good to eat as I don't have much time. Fish tacos was their suggestion, wow the way they described it it was amazing, these ladies know the menu. Will definitely go back some day. Thanks for the nice and super friendly service. *****.

During my visit, I experience good customer service. Due to being on schedule to watch a film, I ask an employee, Brittany, about Vegan options. She is Vegan and expounds upon possible Vegan transformations available from her experience eating at the eatery. The Vegan transformation of the Short Rib Melt is good; the sour dough bread arrives at a really good toast level, there is just enough avocado (avocado texture can be a bit much on my tongue and in my stomach sometimes if too much)—I don't have to chew it super slow (to prepare for swallowing avocado texture), the onions offer a subtle crunch with a bit of tang, the Arugula offers a subtle greenier flavor which offsets textures of the other ingredients primarily the onions, and the mushrooms soften the crunchiness of the toast as well as extremes of other flavors, to me. Dipping the sandwich in Balsamic Vinaigrette makes the Vegan transformation of the Short Rib Melt so much better, to me. I actually take the fries to go then find myself eating them on my way to a theater. The fries are unlike any fries I've come to taste so far: I'm curious if the seasoning goes beyond just salt and pepper—because one aspect of cooking Riley's on 2nd Street (at least the chef(s)/preparer(s) of my meal seem to have) seems to have is an understanding of a flavor/flavors the right amount of crisp can bring to a meal. Shout out to the chef(s)/preparer(s) of my meal the night of 6/3/2022, and thank you Brittany for being the Vegan Connoisseur Translator (if/when management is going to add more Vegan options to the menu, they're already set with a Vegan Connoisseur Translator).

Friendly, lots of regulars. Roast beef dip uninspiring. Watermelon great, made with fresh fruit.

The best bar in town with the best burger in town. Everything here is aces. Everyone is treated with respect not just the regulars. Also, get the nachos half chicken half asada. You won’t be disappointed.

Great service wicked good nachos I got to have a whiskey on the rock and my buddy had a beer. The waitresses were fantastic and the owner Mike came up and made sure we were good!

Great place! Would definitely come back

Always my favorite happy hour spot!! Sangria & craft beer ... always works. Pizza for $10, six to chose from. The Gilled Pizza has mozzarella and feta, chicken breast spinach, sautéed muchrooms, balsamic. Normally, $16. Both food & drink are winners here. Needless to say we are repeat customers.

I love this place ...its so rad and white!

Great service and food. Excellent short ribs pizza and steak.

Had to order from the bar because the waitress took too long, artichoke was under cooked
