Gina's Vegetarian
I have to say this is the best sandwhich I have ever had since I went vegetarian. The pesto is perfect. You don't even miss the meat because the veggies make up for it. It might be $12.50, but it is worth every dollar. Thank you Simple Simon's for making a sandwhich that reminds me of home.
Breakfast Sandwich
The breakfast sandwich with bacon eggs, cheese and tomatoes is the absolute best. Well, anything with these croissants is the best, so buttery and flaky on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. The best croissants around.
BLAATT
5 Star Sandwich! The BLAATT is literally the only sandwich I eat when I go there and I've been going since 2004! and I've been living in Long Beach since 2010 and come to Riverside just to eat the BLAATT! It's fabulously simple yet surprisingly delicious!
The Wedge
Amazing sandwich.
Croissant Club
It was wonderfully baked and everything tasted really fresh. Also enjoyed the sides that came with it and the environment overall.
Bostonian
This is my absolutely favorite sandwich! There is nothing like it, I promise you. So fresh, so delicious.
Chicken Tarragon Salad
Every single thing I've tried from here has been spot on. We love getting their potato salad. You can taste the quality of their ingredients and the love that goes into their food.
Tuna, Chicken Tarragon, or Curried Turkey Plate with Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
The Chicken Tarragon salad is good... great flavor! My go to order is the chicken tarragon salad plate with double veggies and no fruit. Simple Simon's veggies with dill dip is seriously delicious. I could eat that dip with a spoon. And they give you good veggies...carrots, cucumbers, red bell pepper and cauliflower. It's a good option if you're trying to not eat too many carbs. Even though their bread and goodies are hard to resist.
Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast
Best sandwich, hands down!! I'm always suggesting Simple Simon's for our office lunches simply so I could order two; one for lunch and one for dinner. A must try if you order from Simple Simon's!
Grilled Pastrami and Swiss
I came here with my friends recently looking for something new to try in Riverside. We looked up Simple Simon's and found a hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Riverside! I ordered the Grilled Pastrami and Swiss sandwich with fruit and loved every bite! Sourdough is already my favorite type of bread, but having fresh and toasted sourdough on top of grilled pastrami was an experience to say the least. 9/10 would eat again!
Vegetarian
Bomb!!!
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
This black bean chili is amazing! The consistency, the right amount of spice and the dollop of sour cream is superb! It's definitely a must have all year round.
Gina's Vegetarian
Favorite vegetarian sandwich! The veggies are fresh and the bread, cheese and sides are high quality. Simple Simons has never disappointed- favorite eatery in Riverside for sure.
Curried Turkey Salad
Best sandwich shop around.
Cold Focaccia
Love it. Everything is so fresh and the bread is the best part. Would go everyday if i could afford it.
Croissant Club
The best sandwich in riverside! Obsessed with this croissant club. Always fresh
Vegan
The BEST VEGAN SANDWICH IN THE I.E.!! And believe me, I've tried a lot. This one is so delicious and so super fresh, it's my go to!!!!
Roast Lamb
I have been coming to Simple Simon almost weekly for around the last twenty years and I have never, not one single time ever not had a perfectly executed meal - top shelf. I have tried every one of their menu items, many times but my favorites are the Roasted Lamb (I also like it on their Kalamata Olive Loaf) and their BLAAT, which I also like on Croissant. Their desserts obviously have premium ingredients and you can taste the real butter, high-end chocolate, and other great flavorings. Their peanut butter cookies are silky and nutty, the Chocolate Nut Bombs are addictive, Christmas Cookies are warmly satisfying and their cakes make any occasion a real event.
Grilled Pastrami and Swiss
Simply wonderful. I love this sandwich with lots of Dijon
Croissant Club
This was amazing!!! It was my first time so I don't know what to expect on a Saturday afternoon but the Portion size is well worth the money and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Cold Focaccia
This is my FAVORITE sandwich hands down. The ingredients are always fresh and delicious. Best of all, no matter who makes it, the taste and flavor are consistent so there is never a disappointment when ordering.
Breakfast Sandwich
I would give a 5/5 stars. The sandwich was very simple yet super delicious! The meal was the perfect size so I didn't feel sleepy from eating too much.
Mediterranean Melt
Fresh and delicious! The Mediterranean Melt was loaded with veggies and topped with melty cheese accompanied by more crunchy veggies and yummy dip. I loved it !
Fresh Spinach & Bacon
If you want to experience one of the many examples of what makes Riverside a special town visit Simple Simon's. The excellent food and beauty of downtown Riverside make for a wonderfully tasteful experience.
Croissant Club
This sandwich is the best sandwich I have ever had in my life...literally. I cannot believe how amazing it was! So fresh and the croissants were so fresh and flaky! I will definitely be back, maybe today :)
Cold Focaccia
This sandwich is delicious. I've been here several times and it never disappoints. All the sides are great. The veggies come with a wonderful dip too! Highly recommend this place.
Tuna Melt w/ Swiss
This is one of the best, if not the best tuna melts I've ever had! The tuna is great quality, tastes amazing, and never disappoints. It's melted to perfection! I always get it with the side veggies and dip. You can't get this amazing, fresh side anywhere else. It's always a must on every visit! And we can't forget about the delicious Christmas cookie!!!! Thank you for always being consistent Simple Simon's! <3
BLAATT
The BLAATT is my most favorite sandwich at Simple Simons! You have to get in on their delicious, homemade sourdough bread. Yummy!
Homemade Granola
Food and service are always incredible! Such a cool local spot for breakfast or lunch.
Tuna Melt w/ Swiss
We drive from Orange County just for this sandwich! I prefer it with cheddar (not a Swiss fan...). I won't eat tuna salad anywhere else but here. The pasta salad is the best.
Gina's Vegetarian
Best Sandwich!!!
BLAATT
The BLAATT never disappoints. I've been eating at simple Simon's Since I was a child and Every year on my birthday I go back and eat a BLAATT with their famous potato salad and pasta salad. It is a must have on sourdough bread.
Gazpacho
This is the best gazpacho I have ever had. It is great al carte, as a side, with or without avocado. When my sister visits from Washington State, Simple Simon's is our first stop in Riverside and we both enjoy this soup. If you have never tried it, give it a shot. So yummy!
Fresh Squeezed Juice, orange or grapefruit
Breakfast bacon, eggs, potatoes and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, and hot coffee loved it all with raspberry jam for my toast completely filling and all hot great portions then Christmas cookies to go for dessert. I love this place can't get enough and my family from Washington always requests a meal here when they visit!!!
Hot Focaccia
I come to town once a month and this is my favorite dish to eat every single time. It's delicious it's tasty , savory. I do recommend this dish at least to try once. Enjoy!!
Tuna
I absolutely love the tuna melts from here perfect with the sourdough although doesn't taste bad on olive bread. Pasta salad is also good.
Chicken Apple Sausage
This delicious homemade sausage makes breakfast at Simple Simon's a unique treat. Alongside fresh bread, perfect eggs and potatoes or any omelette- you'll love this sausage! If you miss breakfast- you can't go wrong with the sandwiches and desserts...love this place!
Italian Grinder
Another awesome sandwich.
Grilled Pastrami and Swiss
I bit into the grilled pastrami and swiss like there was no tomorrow, devouring all of its fatty pepperiness in one mouthful, and I felt the rush of spice pass from the sandwich into my mouth, the seasonings coating my mouth and hanging around in there, the thready, elastic strands of fat overtaking my taste buds. It was weird and primal and breathtakingly good, and I can't wait to eat it again. -Andrew
