River Inn Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Went for Mother's Day. I will come back again and again. They were super busy and the staff keep a smile on their face, our server was Brad was on top of getting us what we needed. Other staff was helping seniors with their food and carrying it in. Food was turned around constantly with people to help. I have gone to so many different places for special occasions and NEVER have I seen such wonderful service. I not only will come back for special occasions but just to come and hang out and eat. Thank you
The food was so good. We were celebrating as a family, and the staff was over the top accommodating. My mom uses a wheelchair and as we were leaving, one of the staff carried an umbrella for her out to the car. Everything they did really made this experience so special.
Great place for prime rib. Hubs had the prime rib and I had broiled shrimp. 9h and steak bites and walleye fingers for apps..Apps were very tasty. Prime rib was very good. The shrimp was a little hard but the seasoning was good. Our waiter (John) was good, didn't hover but you knew he was there if you needed him. Only bad thing is the lighting combined with the small print on the menu made it hard to read. It is very popular so it is noisy in there. Also pay attention to the signs when you arrive the hostess stand is around the back area from the front sign.
Host was prompt and gave us a variety of seating options. Space was set and clean. JJ (i think, she didn't say her name but it was on the receipt) was friendly, engaging, answered questions and gave suggestions. She also was prompt with attending to our table while it was busy we never waited. The food was fantastic in appearance, how it was cooked and the portion sizes. We will be back!
We love coming here, the food is excellent, and the staff is wonderful. It's become such a popular place that sometimes you have to wait a while before you get seated, but in the meantime, you have a bonfire outside to sit at, a little play area for little ones, and of course, a cocktail bar outside where you can order a drink.
The food here is absolutely amazing. The service is also amazing minus the fact that you can go there and not find a place to sit. They don’t allow reservations. So I have gone there and they tell us it’s over an hour wait. So be careful when you go to pick an off time or get there very early. The reason it is busy is because the ambiance and the food. It’s a very very unique and tasty place. I love their Rueben pizza. I used to own my own business and if I went there I’d have to order an extra pizza for my employees so they could have some the next day. I love their club sandwich as well. I believe everything on the menu is amazing. One time I was there and they were passing out lottery tickets to their customers. Another time it was Halloween candy because it was around Halloween. The owners are there checking on their guests. Highly recommend.
Where do I begin. A wonderful experience at your restaurant. Coleman, Diddy and Drew were very interactive. They took care of me and my date so well. I was greeted with a pleasant smile, the drinks were impeccable and the food was drool worthy. I will definitely be back. Please don't stop what you're doing. Lovely atmosphere and staff!!
I know this place has been popular for a while. Finally got to go for lunch today. Delicious food, reasonably priced with generous portions. Great service and very cozy atmosphere. Loved it!
