My family and I usually go here to get their zucchini and mushroom with dip. The dip is really good. Yesterday I tried the nachos, the meat is dry but tastes good. There is enough parking space during non-rush hour. The place is rundown and...can use some upgrades. There are a few tables on the side if you prefer to eat there, but space is too tiny for me and not that clean.More

After a good experience finding The Munch Box in Chatsworth on a lunch stop, I thought I would stop at George's to see if it was another old-time gem. The A rating from the health department suggested that was a possibility. It certainly looks the..."old-time" part with cobwebs stuck to the overhand ceiling in front of the order window, the bladeless outdoor ceiling fans, and the tired look of the property. There were enough diners at the outside tables to tell me the food had to at least be decent. The cheeseburger tasted like one you would get off a friend's grille at a party if he knew how to cook burgers well, but the onion rings were over-breaded and hard. The line seemed unusually slow, and a panhandler asking for money to buy an omelette didn't make the wait any better. He did provide a bit of entertainment when he laughed and charged the display of potato chips on the other side of the storefront window. One of the staff offered him a burrito to take his act down the street. In brief, if you're in the mood for a decent burger from a nostalgia-inducing building with a cool retro sign outside, George's could be the place for you-- especially if you're not in a hurry.More

Breakfast burrito HUGE! Plus very tasty and filled with your choice of goodness! French fries crispy in outside, tender on inside! Big portions but don't go if you are in a hurry!

If you're a fan of George's like me and many other locals please like this review. George's Drive-In is blessed with well-built art-deco architecture and classic neon sign that screams "wholesome American home-town cooking". Walking home from school I used to stop here and enjoy...their delicious french fries. So, it was disappointing to discover that the grinder, burger, and fries ordered for my kid and I was bland and somewhat stale. It appears that the menu has just become over complicated. I believe if this restaurant went back to a basic burger, taco, and fries menu; then the quality food would return and the patronage would grow.More

This is certainly one of the places I wanted to take my wife to visit. The same old 60’s style is present as well as the famous old sign. The food is just exactly as I remember, greasy and excellent. I especially love the breakfast...burrito and I challenge you to finish it because it is monstrous. The shakes are awesome as well and served in a huge cup. Try the pineapple shake, yum! Loved this place growing up and it still has the special charm right down to the crushed ice.More

I drove in here, park and walk up to the window to order. The menu was fast food but every order I saw as I waited was freshly cooked and was a more than generous portion.Portion size was hge when my order came. The french...fries were abundant but I like minw with a little salt. The gyro sandwich was lso large. Bythe time I had eaten the fries I was too full to eat the sandwich.Price was very good. This place does not have the convenience of a drive through but it was worth getting out of the car for.More

This was the first place I ate at when I came to Riverside. Close to the hotel....literally half a block away. Serves breakfast lunch and dinner and portions are huge. Not California huge, but Midwest huge. (There is a difference). I go there at least...2 times a week. Old school walkup to order. Love itMore

We had a great lunch provided by a great waiter and excellent cooks. The chilie burger filled the plate and we followed it with pecan pie covered in soft serve ice cream..... Sounds a bit much but we had just climbed to the top at...SandDunes National Park! ENJOY!More
