    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    Light, fresh, fast, and delicious! Tarrell took our order,…read moreand he was an absolute delight. He had great recommendations for every customer and was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire experience. The food came out quickly, hot, and full of flavor. Everything was so well-seasoned that I didn't even need to add anything extra. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. Chile Stewby's is officially invited to the cookout! Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick, flavorful meal with excellent customer service.

    When I say I want "seafood", this isn't normally what I have in mind (I'm not usually looking for…read morefried food or a shanty, which very accurately describes this building) but I would 100% come back here again. My husband has been in the area for several weeks and the rest of us came to visit this week. We came to Stewby's for dinner on our first night. Be aware - it gets busy! He was ready for that and we got there just before 5:00 and there was a short line, but tables were available. Shortly after 5:00 hit, so did the line and by the time we left it had wrapped around the front of the building. Between the four of us we ordered fried mahi mahi, grilled grouper and calamari. All were very good, though I don't think I'd get the calamari again (it's my son's favorite, so we had to try it). Each meal comes with 2 sides and hush puppies. I also ordered a "side" of okra, something we don't get at home very often, and it was a huge portion. They were willing to mix the tea and sweet tea for a half and half for me - I always do this but somehow my husband of 20 years has never realized it before now and now it's his go-to order as well.
