I got the carne asada al mojo ($17) and a piña colada ($15), and both were solid. The meat had good flavor and the drink was refreshing -- did not disappoint. Service was friendly, just a little slow at the start waiting for someone to take our order, so that's why it's 4 stars instead of 5. Once we ordered, everything went smooth. Restrooms were clean, which matters. Parking is street parking, but that's pretty normal around the neighborhood. Overall, it's a chill local spot with good food and prices -- I'd come back for sure. Pasamos por Casa Ramos, uno de esos lugares del barrio a los que vienes cuando quieres comer bien sin tanto show. Los precios están bien y la comida cumple. Pedí la carne asada al mojo ($17) y una piña colada ($15), y la verdad todo estuvo muy bueno. La carne tenía buen sabor y la bebida bien refrescante. El servicio fue amable, aunque sí se tardaron un poco en venir a tomar la orden, por eso le doy 4 estrellas y no 5. Ya después de ordenar, todo fluyó mejor. Los baños estaban limpios, lo cual siempre se agradece. El estacionamiento es solo en la calle, pero eso es normal por la zona. En general, es un lugar tranquilo del vecindario, con buena comida y buenos precios -- sí regresaría. ---

The decor and ambiance is much like other Midwestern Mexican restaurants, but has a different vibe. Stuck with seafood and vegetarian options. Diablo shrimp was good and the Chile Relleno made for some good breakfast leftovers. Recommend if you are in the Emporia area and looking for a relaxing evening.

My wife and I both ordered the chicken fried steak special that night. It was hand breaded and simply divine!! More food than either of us could eat. We should have shared. I also had the chili, which was delicious. We enjoy the Brussels sprouts appetizer at our friend's suggestion. The service was quick, polite and professional. 5 stars! We can't wait to come back!

If not for seeing the governor tweet about this place, I might not have known. What a shame that would've been. Snugged up against the banks of the Neosho, Riverbank Brewing is bringing solid craft beer and a great gathering destination to small town Kansas. A reclaimed building, replete with broken walls outside, houses a small brewing facility and spacious tasting room. Not a beer drinker? No worries, because Riverbank has you covered for craft cocktails, plenty of wine, and non-alcoholic choices. But if you *are* here for the beer, just know that Riverbank is dabbling in the lab and getting it done RIGHT. I sampled a kölsch called 'Thrill Hills' and picked up an IPA for the Mrs. called 'Kenny Gregory's Vertical'. If ya ain't familiar with Kenny Gregory, look him up. The kid had hops, and so does this beer. I also had a pint of the blonde ale 'Yeah Girl', a wheat-y ale with a strawberry kicker, not too fruity and sensational on the back end. The brewmasters of Riverbank clearly know their way around malt, yeast, & hops and their execution in the tasting room has equal game. There are food options, but it's not a full kitchen. Want to bring your doggo? Riverbank Brewing is dog-friendly inside and out! We loved the opportunity to enjoy a beer on a great day in a great place without having to worry about where to put our dog. Patio seating gives shade for warm weather and heat lamps when it's chilly. It's small town Kansas bringing a big city amenity with all the comfort that Midwestern hospitality is known for!
