The Backstreet Llc - Riverside

Great little quaint sandwich shop with welcoming staff! They are quick with the orders and are happy to answer any questions you may have. I ordered a Reuben sandwich on rye with a side of potato salad and I thought it was very tasty! I will say that the pies were not quite what I was expecting. However, the atmosphere in the outdoor seating area that they offer more than makes up for it! Plenty of shade, lots of seats, not too cramped, and tons of quirky, interesting decorations. Will absolutely come back again!

Staff here are amazing they're a well seasoned team!!

The food was amazing!!! Entertainment slayedddd!!! Shout out to them.

I have been a patron of Backstreet since my folks and I moved to Riverside in 1977. Throughout the years the food and service has been consistently excellent. That was until I came in with my sister and niece two weeks ago. To begin, we get in line, along with other customers, and not one employee saying Welcome . The previous owners/employees were exceptionally friendly, well not now. As we reach the counter, the menu list has changed, is very plain and prices have gone up while food quality has declined. We decided to only order one sandwich to try given we didn 't know how it was going to taste. This brings me to the use of Stater Bros brand bread. I am thoroughly disappointed that the new Backstreet owners are using store brand bread that even I don 't use because of the cheapness of it. I asked for sourdough and honestly am not sure what I was given. I didn 't get a chance to taste the potato salad, but the experience at the veggie cart was a mess. Soggy pickles, pasta salad wasn 't cold and looked like it had seen better days. The cucumbers and onions were falling apart. This experience has made me so sad. The ambience that I 've known and expected from Backstreet is gone. The delicious food and happy employees, which have been a staple at Backstreet, are gone. I 'm sorry to say that I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, any longer.

This is our go-to spot for quick lunch meetings with colleagues.
