Riverside Cafe & Lodging

My husband and I have visited many restaurants in the Northeast and nationally. Low quality, small portions and cheap fast food service. If you love good dining you may find better options locally. Good luck with this restaurant!

Worst “meal” I have ever had. Salad was good but dressing was so salty I couldn’t eat it and I love salt. Bread was the best part of dinner. I ordered the crab cake and after biting down on shells for the second time I put it aside. I wanted to order the steak but was informed by my waitress that I couldn’t have the mashed potatoes, they are only available with the specials. I again clarified to the waitress that I wanted to pay $38 for the strip steak but if it came with the baked potato I would settle for a burger. She then said the chef refused substitutions and let me settle for the $15 hamburger. When I finally got the burger it was a pre made patty accompanied by frozen commercial fries. Literally the worst dinner experience ever. Did I mention it took forever too?

We ate at the old school retro restaurant. Very unassuming. The food was great! The view is beautiful if you sit in the backroom. Our waitress was excellent. The food came out fast ! Wait until you try the hot rosemary bread they bring to the table!

You will see plenty of rave reviews about the restaurant. They are all spot on. We just had dinner and it was excellent. But we are also spending the night in the motel. We must say that we were pleasantly suprised. The motel is very quaint. The rooms are very clean. All the wood on decks looks new. T 111 looks new. Well worth the modest fee to stay here. Only 6 miles from roscoe if you are looking for nite life. We are very content sitting on the deck and sipping local bootlegger bourbon.

We went to the Riverside Café tonight for dinner. We made reservations for five. the waitress was extremely stressed, snatched menus out of our hands, didn’t come back to check in, brought us the to go boxes when we hadn’t even received our second drink! Bathroom had no soap. It was a mess… The food was meh, The service was terrible. I wish I could say something better tomorrow.
