★★★★★ 5.0 Jay Horin · Jan 2026

We love right down the street from River Rock, which is also next to most of America’s top 10 fast food burger joints. I don’t understand why anyone would stop anywhere else. The burgers here are the best example of an American burger, the curly fries are a classic and just the perfect compliment to the burger. The restaurant decor and service is good, but we come for the food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lourice Thomas II · Sep 2024

First I have ever stopped here and was very satisfied. I seldom order burgers out, yet it felt totally right today, a bacon cheeseburger and I was right; outstandingly delicious and cooked exactly as I asked. A great view of the river. Service was very polite, swift and attentive. This seems to be a neighborhood kind of establishment that has been here forever, that plenty must know yet no one knows. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere reminds me strongly of hometown small town friendly as heck grill and beer bar. For those that want a high end, new and pristine fashion decor interior eatery this would not wow you, however those appreciating a comfortable cozy, clean though somewhat dated and homey setting this is all us. It also has plentiful big screens for sports, news or daytime

As always, this place is outstanding. I love their food. The owners are so incredibly nice and friendly. Everything is always as fast quick efficient and very tasty. I always look forward to a return visit.

Great food. Great prices. Nice view of the river, a little hard to see in summer, though. Local bar atmosphere. Widescreen tv's Low ceilings, pool table, low lighting, lingering cigarette smell. Sandwich, chips & drink for under $10. Very friendly people.

Great hole in the wall restaurant. Quick in and out. Everything tasted like it was supposed to and made to order as requested.
