Saullywood (Saul Miramontes)
***All around 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saullywood rating, that is unheard of!!!!! 😱 And this is a first!!!! This is the first time I've given a place a all around 5 ⭐ rating.*** So where do I begin? The food; I can summarize this description just by telling you that even the Ketchup was good here. Yes!!!!! The KETCHUP!!!! It was fresh, it was delicious and unlike any ketchup I've ever tasted before. The Chicken sandwich 🐔 🥪 was crispy, crunchy, and juicy, I ordered a little bit of honey 🍯 to add to the taste. The Smash Burger 🍔 made my mouther more wet than a rainy day in Seattle. The brussel sprouts, how did they manage to make those green balls so damn good? I have no idea, it is beyond me. The Dirty Fries 🍟 came with big pieces of garlic 🧄 which was a bit intimidating at first, but as but as soon as I bit into those things, goodness gracious. How did they manage to surprise me again? The food is absolutely delicious here. The drinks/cocktails here are very nicely balanced, you get a nice hint of the spirit used and a nice flow of flavor on your lips. Everything I look for in a cockatiel. The service was amazing!!!! But I would like to say that I went there during lunch hours and surprisingly it was very busy. So the Waitress was able to focus on my group and me. What would the service be like during busy hours? I can't say. All I can tell you is that my experience was great, I was attended very well by the waitress, the bartender was very attentive as well and he definitely knew what he was doing behind the bar. The Chef came out for a brief moment talk to me and ask me if I was enjoying the the food. They must have know that Saullywood was in the house and that I'm a harsh critic because the service was top notch and very rarely have I had this type of experience in my life. Ambiance was great, it's a very nice place located right in the middle of downtown, just a small walk away from the Famous Mission Inn. Saullywood definitely recommends for a nice date. A bit expensive but definitely worth it.

I dined at The Salted Pig and had a fantastic experience! The burger was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The bone marrow was also a standout, rich and decadent, truly on point. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a pleasant dining experience!

We came for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised. Kind of easy to miss because they only have a small sign on the door. Everything here is home made and it's very obvious. The pork belly burger with the home made ketchup was full of flavor. The pork belly had the right amount of char and was so fun to eat! The bun was soft and fresh and the fries had the perfect amount of salt. The ketchup was good enough to eat by itself, order extra. The breakfast platter was made to order with another thick slice of that irresistible pork belly n it also came with home made jam and thick slices of butter. Not only are the portions large but the food is so good you'll want to order more just to take home. Don't pass this spot up! We'll be back

This place was so good! We had the dirty fries for an appetizer, he got a burger, I can't remember the name, was 2 letters, I got the pork belly burger, both were really good and the carrots as a side, carrots were our least favorite thing, expected more honey but not bad.

A great gastro-pub located in downtown Riverside! The restaurant has ample seating with booths, tables and a bar. The decor is very nice and clean, with a sense of warmth. The menu is impressive and creative. From the unique appetizers, variety of entrees to the fantastic drink selection. If you’re into craft beers, you’ll for sure find something you will like. My wife and I went here for dinner on a Friday night. It wasn’t very busy and we seated in a very spacious u-shaped booth. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started off with an order of the Chicharrones. Which was crispy and perfect! My wife had the Date Night Burger with a side of the Dirty Fries (cheese sauce and garlic). I had the Pork Belly sandwich with a side arugula salad dessert with a berry vinaigrette. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this place when you’re in the mood for some creative and amazing food.

From the Whisk(e)y list, signature cocktails, and craft beers to their dirty fries, pork belly taco, and home made ketchup, this is by far one of the best meals we have ever had. Thank you!

You can not go wrong with this place. The food and beverages at The Salted Pig are consistently great, so is the service. Every dish is prepared with care.

This is a great spot especially if you love good “meaty” food. Of course I got the vegan options Brussel Sprouts, Carrots (no yogurt), and Rosemary Sourdough😋 I was concerned when looking at the menu online but baby everything was so good! My granddaughter had the cheesy fries and loved them. Great atmosphere, incredible staff and service. I recommend this business.
