Septembers Taproom & Eatery - Rialto — Restaurant in Rialto

Update 02/25/2025

It's been two years since I did my first review of this place. My first review was pretty favorable except for the fact that there was only one person tending the bar area that particular day. And the poor lady was pregnant too. Well during this visit it was very similar. But this girl was handling all the tables, and the bar all by herself. I think this is an unacceptable practice from the owners of this place. Kudos to the girl who was handling it pretty well. Nevertheless, there came a time when you could see her stress level rising, and rightfully so.

Well I had a conversation with my buddy whom I've visited this place with both times, and it turns out that the owner of these September restaurants is also the owner of another popular restaurant chain called Corky's. Well it just so happens that I went to visit their Apple Valley location a couple of times, and the same issue was happening over there too. One waitress handling all the tables, the front counter, the ubber eats and door dash orders etc. I also gave them a scathing review because of this practice. It almost seems like slavery, and I'm not exaggerating. Stop treating your employees this way whoever you are. I've come here a couple of times because I can smoke cigars out on the patio. But with these kinds of practices, I will not come back other than to check what kinda practices the owner is doing in the future.

Dec 2022; They had only one bartender which is where we were sitting. She had maybe eight people total at the bar for a few minutes. Then comes in a party of like 30 to 35 people, all guys. They all immediately went up to the bar and ordered a drink. Needles to say, she was slammed, but handled it perfectly. (Kudos to Michelle!)

Because of the sudden rush we went unattended for a while, but it was okay because we knew why. I ordered a September burger for the first time and it was beyond good! Then went out to the patio after the burger and smoked a cigar with my buddy. The fact that you can smoke cigars in their terrace area is a big plus for me. Not many places if any allow that. So I'm a big fan for that reason, among others.

Go see these guys and enjoy...

We arrived here for dinner at 5:45p on a Sunday Feb 16th, we walked in and we were greeted with how many for our party we told her 4 and said it would be a few mins, she asked the woman who walked in after us for "how many" she said 2, the girl proceeded to ask "if she'd be okay with a high top" and the woman said "no". She then sat the woman at a 4 person table, and came back. She asked us if we'd be okay with a high top and we preferred a regular table as we had 2 children with us. She then said it would be a few mins. We sat a few mins and another woman walks in she said "hi a table for 2 please" the hostess replied "it would be a few minutes" that lady said "I just called and you guys told me there was no wait." The girl then immediately sat the woman on another 4 person table... We were shocked and wanted to walk out at this point. My husband said "hi we've been waiting and you've sat these people at 4 person tables why?" To which the hostess replied "oh she called ahead."

We finally sat down and got menus, we ordered our drinks and kids food, from a temp server, then our real server David came to take over, wish he hadn't the other woman was much more pleasant. He seemed so irritable and annoyed to be working, understandable the place was busy and they seemed short staffed. From this point forward we didn't see David much we had to flag him down for a 2nd round of drinks.

Kids plates Mac n cheese and tater tots Kids diy pizza and tots. Both good but pizza comes raw we thought it was lunchable style however they put it to cook in the oven after kid puts it together (nobody told us this)

My husband ordered the hot and spicy melt gross don't do it, the flavor was off and it was not even a little spicy. I ordered the Italian melt, the bread was so hard it feels like I have little cuts on the inside of my mouth now. No I didn't send it back we waited over 35 mins for our food to come out and I can't imagine waiting for something else and not eating for another hour.

Long story short we haven't been to a Buffalo wild wings in over 3 years because service everywhere is trash. This is the new Buffalo wild wings. Don't waste your time...

Annalise Manager horrible person

(September 26th, 2024) I went into the place to watch Thursday Night Football Cowboys vs Giants at 5pm and Dodgers vs. Padres which my teams won btw!!! 🏆 I love the atmosphere and the food has good options and I love alot of the staff there..But this one female Manager Annalise curly hair and a Huge Attitude problem made my being their all the more uncomfortable by her constant harassment towards me, on several occasions. First time we spoke to one another she tells me in front of other customers that I need to order something if I'm going to be sitting down!!! (Really!!!!) How rude she started off...I've been coming off and on this past football season since last year and always order, play my dice 🎲 game, mind my business, and listen to mini boom box not even loud to myself within my vicinity and again Ms. Annalise tells me to turn it down I do then later just tells me to not bring it in with another attitude towards me. When I asked her what the %^$ does she hate me??? that was chance to kick me out and told me not to come back!!! Smh The manager seriously needs an attitude check!! Two stars 🌟 because the atmosphere and staff working their butts off and are...
