Must have driven by here hundreds of times over my life & just swung by on a whim... delicious Beyond burger, beautiful ambiance, awesome staff! The server was soooo wonderful - truly great service! I spent a few hours here just enjoying the outdoors not feeling rushed while thinking of memories of my childhood on the River. Love this spot!💕

We came here twice over the course of our stay in nearby Guerneville. We had just driven in from Mendocino up the coast and were looking for a dog friendly easygoing place to eat. The restaurant itself sits on a fairly large property with plenty of parking, indoor/shaded outdoor more intimate seating as well as community style tables and an outdoor bar around the side. Both times we visited around 4pm or so and it was busy but not overflowing. One thing we both really appreciated was the staff here particularly their friendliness and how often they checked in on us. We never felt harassed nor ignored. The food selection is classic pub fare with a few unique offerings like Jalapeño Poppers which we both loved along with Seasoned Waffle Fries! I particularly enjoyed their Pulled Pork Sandwic

maybe i'm ill informed as the pub is the only dining i have experienced along the russian river, but the experience here is only mediocre—at least compared to other reviews. the food itself was all good, but the portions served were not at all deserving of the price. seven "jumbo" shrimps that were actually only average sized and as if previously frozen for $14 was actually preposterous. 16 ounces of clam chowder that was in fact all chowder and not clam for $10 was disappointing. $13 crab cakes "with tartar sauce" did not come with tarter sauce and was no more than 10 ounces was absolutely unreasonable. burgers were ordered and regret was felt when bites revealed grey, distasteful patties. frankly, i would have been more satisfied with frozen food and a microwave, but what can i do

I was in the area for work today and stopped by with my kids who were with me on their summer vacation. The service at the Russian River Pub was friendly and the space was beautiful. We sat outside and really enjoyed the picnic atmosphere. The sun was nearly setting and it was a very nice day. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food (Prime Rib Sandwich !!!) and we were especially surprised by how nice the napkins were. It's a small detail to choose a quality napkin when you're making your selections for your business, but it tells a lot about what they take seriously. Service, friendliness, good food and cleanliness. 'They say' cleanliness is second to godliness. All that being said, what a wonderful experience to enjoy with our friends at the Russian River Pub. No doubt, we will be b

This is a gem on river road with outdoor seating, great service and wonderful food. I had the buffalo and blue sandwich with onion rings and macaroni salad. The sandwich was served on a brioche bun which was delightful on is own. The onion rings were crispy outside and soft inside, I only ordered a half order and couldn't finish it, so be aware. The macaroni salad was a special that day. It was different than what I'm used to, however, delicious. The flavor really complimented the sandwich and I'm glad I tried it. I've been here before and had their dessert which is naive and unbelievably good. Didn't have room this time but look forward to sharing it with family next time we are in the area.
