When I rejected the…read moreribeye special, she went to the kitchen to get them to fix me a New York strip, which was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection, and smothered in mushrooms ($1.75 extra). The salad bar ($6 w/meal) was abundant, with at least six salads in addition to lettuce with all the additions, plus pickled beets. Potato & ham soup that was on the a salad bar was divine! Only thing sub par was the strange, anemic looking all white French bread - not a hint of color! Can't wait to try the breaded pork tenderloin and the fried chicken! It IS noisy in the bar-like setting, but bring your earplugs and your appetite. Great food, sweet folks.

They came with a side so I had the baked potato and hubby had the fettuccine alfredo. Everything was delicious. The steak was cooked properly for us, the baked potato was excellent, not a "hard" spot in it. Our server was spot on and made a drink recommendation of the Amaretto stone sour. It's not one of my usual drinks but I decided to give it a try. Glad I did! We didn't have dessert only because they had some sweets up front in their case that looked delicious so we got some of those instead.

A group of family recently was in town and we decided to eat at Rivers Edge due to the great…read morereviews. The food was good, the place was nice, and our server was fine, but this negative review is based solely on the actions of the Manager. My partner has a dietary restriction, she cannot have dairy. When we arrived, she went through a common routine for us with the server. She'll ask about a number of dishes, and ask what is (or may be modified) to be dairy free. Then she picks something that she can have from there. She ordered with the table and we had two rounds of appetizers while we waited. The issue started when we were about to be served our dinners. The Manager walked over and stated that they were unable to make her dish dairy free and asked her to order again...when everyone's dinner was going to be served. Her tone was poor and she showed little to no empathy. She said she "can't make miracles happen". The news was delivered so poorly that my partner left the restaurant crying and went elsewhere to eat. The timing of the notification made no sense, since we were there approximately an hour at this point and they could have told us when the issue was discovered and not before the rest of the food was ready to be served. A couple of us talked to her (the Manager) in the stairwell and let's just say that conversation didn't go well either. No one really raised their voice, but she took no accountability, nor offered any solutions. If I was in her shoes, I would have told the kitchen to prep something quick and easy and non dairy, perhaps some sides or an app. I'd comp that mini dish and call it something silly like the "We screwed up platter." Ask her to order something new, but give her that plate to eat with the family and maybe a free drink. Do something to make it right and not act like you and the team did not make multiple errors along the way and tell her to watch everyone eat. Because that is what she did, she expected her to watch everyone at the table eat. On top of that, not only was there no offer to make anything right, we were charged extra! We were charged for a party of 8, but only had 7, which became 6 when my partner left. They took off the extra charge when we asked, but it shows how little they cared.

We needed a walk after hours in the car. We were seated w/menus in a booth. They serve breakfast all day, apps, burgers, entree salads, sandwiches, and meal entrees with a kids menu and a seniors menu (65+) on the back cover. I went with the taco salad. It's a big portion with sour cream and salsa on the side and comes with soup. You can add quac if you like. My dining companion got the chicken parm which comes with a side salad or soup and, if you like, a bread basket. It also is a big portion and is served with garlic bread. As someone who makes their own sauce this one was not up to their standards. Still, they ate a good bit of their meal. The salad is pre-cut lettuce and I believe the soup is made off site. Salad dressing is served on the side. Plenty of meat in the taco salad. Salsa has a bit of a kick and there are three kinds of hot sauce on the table if you want more. Something I ate affected one of my many food sensitivities and by the time I got back to the hotel my stomach hurt. It happens. They have a private parking lot. Beer and wine and a few liquors are available besides soft drinks. Restrooms are older and in pretty good condition although they could use a deep, detailed cleaning. This was a convenient stop for us but not one we would seek out in future. Prices are very good. Menu is varied.
