Knock on wood, we've had some outstanding servers lately during our dining experiences...and tonight Rita was simply wonderful, full of smiles and happy to be working at Riata! The entrees we ordered were delicious...the New York Steak with a veggie medley and garlic mashed potatoes (they weren't too garlicky, but the gravy on the side was awesome!) and the Hawaiian Burger with freshly sliced pineapple (mmm!) and a side of teriyaki sauce and steak fries. I no longer see the need to visit Red Robin for my once-in-a-while craving for their Banzai Burgers, when I can come here for a Hawaiian Burger with REAL pineapple!

Note to Riata: the teriyaki sauce is so delicious with the Hawaiian Burger, I'd recommend making it standard instead of an option.

BONUS POINTS FOR RIATA - They're dog friendly! Not only do they have outdoor seating, but they also leave out a water bowl and doggie biscuits for our four-legged family members. :)

Located in downtown Livermore on the corner of J and Second Streets, the Riata Diner & Tavern's decor is a tribute to the Livermore Rodeo...and don't be alarmed by the animal skins on the wall and the ceiling!

Their California Chicken Sandwich was a chicken breast with grilled portobello mushrooms, pepper jack cheese and a spicy artichoke spread...it was sooooo good and perfect if you like sandwiches with a little kick! Riata's burger with cheddar cheese, bacon and grilled onions was better than I expected...and their steak fries are worthy of comparison to Red Robin's. Of course, they don't offer bottomless steak fries here...but seriously, who needs more than what they give you the first time, anyway?





California Chicken Sandwich $9.95


Riata Burger $8.95 + Cheese $1.00 + Grilled Onions $1.00
