Rene's Bar and Grill

The positive:
The service was fast and friendly. The kitchen is an open diner style, where you can see them making your food. The potato skins were really good. I ordered the Rene's Double Decker Burger - This burger was huge and practically oozed cheese. It was so good. They also have a pretty good beer selection, TV's everywhere, and a jukebox. Additionally, they have good prices for everything.

The negative:
The building is old and the layout looks like something out of the 70's. They are in desperate need of a remodel. My guess is it is either a previous biker bar or something else. Paper thin wood stain walls, poorly lit with ceiling fan lights, dirty/old curtains, black leather wrap-around booths, and low grade carpet. Approaching the building, I couldn't tell if it was open or had gone out of business, due to the tinted windows/doors. I had to go inside to see if they were even open, we almost passed them. There is no sign out front. The biggest negative to me was the smell as soon as I walked in. The whole place smells of potpourri and industrial cleaning supplies, as if they are trying to cover up the smell of something. The restroom is dingy and smells worse.

It's an okay place. I don't know if I'd want to go back until they clean up the smell, regardless of how good everything else is.

Came here on a Sunday after watching my parents bowl in their bowling league. Seems like most of the league are regulars here. The atmosphere isn't much to shake a stick at, but once you ask someone of the history it becomes quite interesting and vintage.

I ordered the Rene's Double Stacked Cheeseburger.... Holy Sh...... That burger was HUGE!!! And for $7.50... Comes with a small portion of fries, but trust me.... The burger will have you more than satisfied.. If I were to guess, each patty on the burger is at least a 1/3 pound easily...

The wait for food is pretty long on a busy night.. They only have one cook I have heard, but order some drinks, listen to some tunes on the juke box, and it will be worth it. Trust me!!! Best burger I have had in Riverside County for the price...

I love coming here because of the nice bar tender. John.
