    Avocado toast
    Ophelia M.

    Stopped by Rive Cafe for some breakfast during a recent trip to the area. Rive cafe is located in an old (no longer working) car wash that has turned into a small food truck park. There are plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas as well as some comfier covered seating as well. We ordered at the food truck and then they called out when it was ready. I ordered their avocado toast. It comes on two large slices on rustic bread. There's plenty of avocado as well as some seasoning. It was a solid good and a tasty start to the day. They did have suggested modifications--if you prefer a more robust and meaty avo toast, you can get it with bacon or sausage. I'm a purist (ok, I do occasionally like an egg on my avo toast) so I stuck to the original. If you want a low key spot to enjoy a bite in the sunshine, this could be the spot for you.

    Breakfast items were delicious! Make sure you get the hot sauce, it's a must on these. The seating is mismatched tables and couches. Happy I stopped by!

    Love coming to support this business when I'm in my hometown! It's a great spot to sit with the pup and enjoy some company. We normally get the Cuban sandwich and PB&J. I hope tourists continue to check this place out when you want to enjoy the sun!

    I ordered the Cuban and it was delicious. I will be coming back to try their breakfast as well!

    Delicious breast wrap. I asked to sub for Turkey bacon but unfortunately they didn't carry that so I got creative and asked to add rice to my breakfast wrap. The staff member was super accommodating to my request and the wrap was enough for two meals for me. I ate half while I was there and paired it with the fresh salsa that was served with it and took the other half back to my hotel. I enjoyed the combination of eggs, avocado and melted cheese in a wrap. For $8 I found the price to be very reasonable.

    Breakfast burrito on gluten free

    Food is great but the wait time is excessive for a food truck. We came here to get something close to where we are staying and quick. It was so slow we could've driven outside the area or gone sit down somewhere. Husband got the breakfast burrito on gluten free and really enjoyed it. I got the gluten free toast (there's no jam-you can upgrade to peanut butter and honey).

    Amazing and fast service! The girl who took my order was absolutely wonderful and started my week on such a positive note. I ordered the breakfast bowl with bacon and sausage which was a surprisingly large portion and tasted wonderful. They have plenty of outdoor seating, this place is definitely a must try in Fort Walton!

    Great sandwiches and cool place to eat. This is an outdoor eatery with 3 food trucks serving different products. River Cafe has sandwiches - I ordered a Cuban breakfast sandwich. It was excellent! They are also diet friendly so I ordered my wife a gluten free dairy free Cuban breakfast sandwich. Grab a coffee next door and enjoy!

    Avocado Toast

    Really neat area and their avocado toast is the best I've ever had! Vegan options are hard to come by on the coast, so this was very nice. Sad they didn't have sprouts, but the food and service are still amazing. The coffee was also great.

    Berry refresher

    Had one of their refreshers, super tasty. Great service and super cute area to sit outside and have a bev.

    The salsa is really great
    Sherry B.

    4.5 stars because unfortunately without the salsa, the food would be a bit bland. If you are used to having really delicious breakfasts at home, do not go for a generic breakfast. (Like a simple wrap with just scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese.) Get something you don't eat at home and throw some hot sauce on it for good measure. Someone ordered me the above described wrap and all I could think was how scrambled eggs at my home were so much more flavorful and crispy bacon cooked at home was 10x better. But we went back and it was a much better meal. If you don't have "to-die-for breakfasts" at home, then anything you eat here will likely be quite enjoyable.

    Sausage
    Abbey K.

    Great food !! Friendly staff they are just soooo slow. Great great food though. I got the avocado toast with sausage. The sausage was like hotel/McDonald's sausage wouldn't recommend. Avocado toast with choula on the side was delicious! Just they need to be quicker. I waited almost 40 mins from standing in line til I got my food. Luckily the outside is a good waiting area. They also give discounts to locals which was a plus ! Would go again however I would order online and have it ready to be picked up !

    Fun little food truck as part of a food truck courtyard. The two sandwiches we ordered (Cuban and Bacon/Spinach/Tomato)were excellent. The relaxed atmosphere is fun and easy going.

Curried goat had deep layering of flavors that had we wanting more and more. They are opened 24 hours too. Waste no time going to experience this great chef local to the FWB/ Destin area!

Spicy (not too, but substantial) jerk chicken plate with half a chicken served over a bed of delightfully aromatic red beans and rice (unfortunately a bit dry) and a slightly overcooked, sweet piece of corn on the cob. But the star of the show, without a doubt, was the chicken... Beautifully grilled / smoked half chicken, super moist with flavor that lasts and lasts. I have been following Chef Champion online and made it a point to stop in today, regardless of the rain, to meet him. I am so glad I did. The food truck staff were friendly and polite, and chef was outgoing, personable and even stepped out to turn on the outside patio heaters in the middle of the rainy afternoon just for me. Thank you! Yes, we will be bringing the family back because there's so many more delightfully, delicious. Looking things to try.

They have a clean restroom and a good amount of parking. My fiancé asked the woman at the counter what beer she recommended and with an attitude she loudly proclaimed "I don't know, I don't drink" and then just stared at us with a blank expression, which found to be kind of an odd answer considering your whole job is to sell beer and tacos, but ok.

The food came pretty fast, even though we ordered for seven different people. I only had a chicken taco and a fish taco. The chicken was good but I couldn't take more than one bite of the fish. It was just not good...at all. Nothing about it was appetizing. I also tacked on an order of churros. You get four with a little ramekin of icing. They were a little overcooked but the cinnamony icing was really good. After ordering, we parked in the lot and the children sat at one of the outdoor tables to eat.
