Law's - Riverside

Fun place. Good food. Friendly service. Taco Wednesdays. Karaoke or live bands often in the evenings. The owner introduced himself to us. Friendly guy.

WOW!!! My family has been pleasantly surprised with Laws. We have been there 2 times this past month. The food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. The waitresses are cheerful and attentive. The owner has really brought this establishment up to the next level. Its not just a Bar.

I really wanted to love this place, but sadly, they missed the mark for me on my first (and what may be only visit. I went on a Friday night relatively early, and the best way I can describe it is CHAOS. They 're understaffed right now, so I get it, and I 'm not even going to bring up one or two of the negatives connected with that. But staffing ultimately comes down to management. But the place was packed, and apparently that 's all that matters. For the food, there were pros and cons. I grabbed the sirloin entree, and the prep was good, but the portion was very small, probably a 4-oz cut (the menu doesn 't specify weights . At $20 for the plate, the pricing is acceptable, especially since it includes a cup of an excellent soup that they called 'lobster bisque ' but is probably closer to a lobster chowder. The prime rib was a good portion, priced right, and well prepared, if a little salty. Both plates would have been improved with a bread option, but that 's not available. Some cons: I ordered mushrooms for my steak, but they never came, and I was never actually able to see the bill, so I don 't even know if I paid for it. But at $1, I don 't really care. I do care that I never got a steak knife (or any other kind of knife , despite asking multiple people for one. I had to borrow a knife from one of my table mates before my steak got cold. But what happened later might help me understand why it was so hard to get a knife. They had to serve the water in paper cups, and they apologized for it, but, still. And it never got filled. A thousand drinks came out of the bar, but never a pitcher of water. Did I mention that the steaks were a little salty? Yeah, I needed some water. But the place was so crowded, our server only made it out to our table twice, once to take our order and once to collect payment. We saw food runners and a busser, but they rarely made a sideways glance our way. It was so loud on the patio that the only way to communicate was shouting. And we had no idea that it was karaoke night... which, apparently it is every night. But there was a private party on the other patio, and no room inside, so there was literally nowhere else to sit. And then a fight broke out! (is that why there were no knives to be had??? We had to leave, so I pleaded with the busser to locate our server. She came, but I never actually saw the bill on the hand-held device, just a total. But after almost 2 hours in the restaurant, we were so desperate to get out of there, I didn 't really care.

It’s been years since we’ve been here! We came for lunch on a Sunday. Things started off great with being seated right away. It took awhile to get drinks after ordered them and it wasn’t too crowded. The food came out fast and was really good. The server disappeared and had to find another server to ask for water refills and condiments. It took a long time to get our bill, again we had to ask another server for our bill and she got our server to come. She returned with charge slip and never seen again! There was error on the bill and we finally decided to let it go as couldn’t find server and we left.

I have never been out to a restaurant that is so cozy, and friendly. The bartender Crystal greets you with a smile, and tends to you right away. The food is the outmost tasty!! It 's taste is unexplainable!!! You would have to go by to see for yourself!! Even the head chef By the name of Dee came out to our table and I got a chance to thank her for the best macaroni and cheese, the fully loaded chicken fries and the soft tacos that we had ordered!! My mouth is watering as I type!! I recommend this restaurant to everyone that has a long day at work and that just needs a relaxing place for a drink with a great plate of food !!!
