I saved the bag and called Robert's distributing to find out how I could get some for his birthday and ended up on the phone with Chris the Owner for almost an hour!! What a wonderful lady! I got a whole lesson on the differences of jerky and it was short notice but she made sure the package got here before his birthday. :) . He was SO HAPPY!!! Now he's obsessed with this stuff and placing another order!! Technology is great but nothing can replace the caring and relationships that are built in a family business and personal interaction.

I was staying at the Bear River Casino Resort, and this restaurant was the only one on property. I…read morewas quite surprised at how good the food was considering this was at a hotel/casino. We had dinner here the first night and got their special salmon, fried avocado, and fried mozzarella. The salmon was super moist and flavorful. The fried avocado was the biggest hit for the table. The avocado was ripe and breaded and fried to perfection. We had some fried mozzarella sticks with a good cheese pull, while others were not that great. We also had breakfast here the next morning. I got the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were not dry, which I really appreciated. It was a lot of food with not much variety in flavor to eat for an entire meal. I'd definitely recommend splitting this with the group. There is a different price with the casino players card + you're given coupons everyday for breakfast. While the restaurant is spacious, there weren't enough workers to open up the entire restaurant. I'd definitely recommend getting here early if you want to be seated in the first group of customers. Service was excellent at both meals!

I'm really disappointed with our experience at Rivers Edge in the Bear River Casino. We waited over…read morean hour for a simple order, and when the food finally came out, it was subpar at best. My partner ordered the breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 toast, 2 links, and hashbrowns extra crispy. Unfortunately, the hashbrowns were soggy and limp, more like rubber than crispy. The toast was decent, the eggs were fine, but the sausage links weren't cooked to order--they were just as rubbery as the hashbrowns. Parsley Garnish was old and wilted... As for my BLT with avocado and fries, the fries were fine and the ranch was okay. But the lettuce on my sandwich was old--wilted and had brown spots. They acknowledged it and offered to bring fresh lettuce, but honestly, that shouldn't have even been an issue in the first place. I'm giving it 2 stars, and the two stars are really just for the server who tried hard and gave us a 20% discount. In reality, this meal should've been free. This is a management issue from the top down. Here are some basics that should be addressed: Old lettuce and garnish should never make it to the plate--throw it out! When a customer asks for something like extra crispy hashbrowns or well-done meat, it should be done right. You can't just trust your staff to get everything right. They need training, testing, and supervision until they consistently meet the standards. Either you're not training them properly, or your standards are just too low. If I can't trust you to pull fresh lettuce for a sandwich, how can I trust you with perishables like meat, poultry, or fish? Unfortunately, this is the norm up here. Over the years, Bear River has never risen above these basic issues. It's sad, especially with all the money they make--you'd think they could afford to hire and train staff who can prepare a decent BLT or cook hashbrowns to a basic level of acceptability. Sorry, but this has been the same disappointment year after year.
