Saddle Sore Saloon — Restaurant in Norco

To the short, white woman who served my friend and I on the evening of 06/25/25, SHAME ON YOU.

I have never experienced such poor service in my life. It was blatantly clear that we were being discriminated against due to our race, the treatment we received was unacceptable. When we tried to order our drinks, the server asked see our IDs, then accused us of using fake IDs. Despite assuring her that our IDs were legitimate, she confiscated them. We were only able to retrieve them after the bartender confirmed they were real.

Throughout the evening, she deliberately avoided our table and gave us dirty looks any time we tried to place an order or simply request water or sauces. It took a long time just to get her attention. When she finally approached, she would roll her eyes and often pass us off to the bartender, even when they were clearly busy.

The discrimination was so evident that the table next to us noticed and even commented on the stark difference in service compared to other guests.

This was a deeply disappointing and disheartening experience at Saddle Sore. My father has loved this place for over 15 years, and it breaks my heart to think that my family or anyone else could be subjected to this kind of treatment in a place that should feel familiar...

Couldn't really expect too much on a Monday afternoon after horseback riding, coming to this place for lunch was a bit of a blah moment since we just wanted food in our stomach. My main concern with this place was the lack of servers during off peek hours. The only person running the front of the saloon at the time was the bartender who was way too occupied attending to regulars that it look way too long to get her attention before we could order our food. Seriously thought about leaving at one point because she didn't look out way and kept talking to regulars are the bar. It wasn't busy on a Monday, since there were only about 3 tables and 5 people at the bar, but it was difficult to order.

When we did get her attention, ordering was pretty straight forward and got our food rather quickly and nothing too spectacular about the food. Considering that we were hungry, I would assume the food would taste great, but not really. We did the 2 for $22 Monday deal and it was filling. The saloon was dimly light so it felt darker than it needed to really be so it's not for dates so much as it is for watching the sports on the televisions that were...

7 out of 10. Food was tasty. Would like to have given 4 stars but I'm picky. Great steak dinner special on a Saturday night for $10.99. I would have given a higher score except for a few small set backs in service. We ordered an appetizer and it came out with the entrees. I wish I had ordered it first then ordered entrees after a few minutes. Also, it seemed like they left our food sitting in the window too long because the steaks came out luke warm. My husband's potato was hard, had to ask for another. It's a good thing every thing tasted good. Good spot for bar type food. Burgers, salads, fried pickles. Manager was a little short when we asked for a new potato but was much more courteous when he came back around. Maybe he realized we weren't just trying to get an extra potato after he saw for himself it really was hard. Hard working servers. Busy spot. Just don't expect the type of service you get in a corporate restaurant. It's a mom...
