This food was amazing and it was more than enough for me and my husband. The fried sampler amazing. Everything was delicious fresh everything was good. Service was great. I don't know why, but they had our server every which way, but you know what it was still amazing. She gave us extra refills Would go again if in the area. The whole place was just amazing.

Great local spot with great service. Solid American food and the price isn't bad either. Lots to drink as well. It's located right off First Street in Downtown Livermore so there's plenty to walk to before or after your meal. Cool Western/Cowboy vibe decor inside. I'd gladly go back!

Love this place for any meal! Parking can be dicey but that's my only complaint. It's clean inside and has very friendly staff and delicious food. This meal I got the Cheesesteak Sandwich with homemade potato chips and my friends all got the Taco Salads as they usually do! Just delicious

First time there & plan on more visits when we go out to eat. They have good foods & quantities. They are at 2nd St & J St in Livermore. Stop by when in Livermore, we are glad we did. To us the diner had a "HOMEY" atmosphere. Plus a full bar. :-)) JerryAA

We went in on a busy Sunday. Long wait but ya know they said we could sit at the counter immediately so we did. Oh and the BBQ plate was the bomb. I was craving it so....best BBQ! 3 ribs that fell off the bone and so tender tasty. The chicken did not disappoint. And potato salad came with it. Quite pleased and content. Service was attentive to all our needs on a busy weekend. A definite return!

Stopped in downtown Livermore on our way to Oakland for the A's game. Found the Riata based on their high ratings so we wanted to try them out. First impression - The restaurant was clearly a local favorite based on the inside and outside both being packed! Conversations were buzzing, drinks were flowing, and memories were being made! We were seated right away and impressed with our waitress. She was so sweet and helped with food recommendations. All meals were great and tasty! The two boys tried the breakfast shot and were pleasantly surprised, especially with the bacon finisher. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend stopping by!
