    Green Olive and Swiss
    David K.

    While on vacation, my wife selected River Jams as a place to have lunch. It is pretty hard to beat the views and atmosphere while having a local beer (Spotted Cow) while eating outside looking at the Chippewa River. Along with our son, we had the BLT, Cod Sandwich, and the Green Olive and Swiss double smash burger. This could well be the best burger I have had as it was not only juicy, but bursting with flavor. The green olive really adds a lot. Our waitress, Annika, was very nice. I recommend coming here.

    Nice views and great vibes. We were tired and stopped here midpoint from driving from Voyageurs National Park to Chicago. We just wanted to grab a bite and go to bite to eat and go to bed. We thought this was going to be bar food and when we arrived got the impression of a bikers' and boaters' party place. Wow, we were so wrong. Inside it was simple and nice, open, and lots of natural light. The music was soft and the drinks were fantastic. It was fish fry Friday and, to our surprise, they offered grilled options. We shared the grilled walleye and the grilled shrimp. Cook to perfection and very tasty. The Blackberry Old Fashion was really good. Service was excellent, both of our servers were attentive, helpful, and pleasant. We scored!!

    Excellent food - chicken was delicious, and the wings are huge! Efficient and friendly staff!

    Grilled shrimp and garlic smashed potatoes

    We have been to River Jams for wonderful craft cocktails but this was our first time to also have a meal. Went on a Friday night and knew they only have fish and shrimp but that is what we were craving anyway. Also had cocktails-The White Pumpkin martini, Hot Caramel apple cider and Whiskey River Old Fashioned. They were all wonderful! For the meal, I had grilled shrimp, garlic smashed baby reds and coleslaw. Super tasty, flavorful shrimp and potatoes served nice and hot. Companions had 2 piece cod dinner-fried with fries and Perch-fried with baked potato. Everything was delicious and we all left satisfied. Seated right by window looking out at beautiful river. They were busy-Folks love Friday fish-so we had to wait a while for our meals. But that is to be expected and friendly capable server Rebekah kept the drinks (and water!) coming. Chef came around and asked if we enjoyed the meals-while also collecting our plates. A very positive experience overall. We will be back and hope to explore other food menu items-along with the fabulous craft cocktails that change over time.

    Fun place! Awesome food and drink. Spotted Cow on tap! Nice staff of people. The smash burgers are great

    Maple bourbon old fashioned
    Troy S.

    Nicely renovated space. Simple elegance. Great wood floors. Nice cocktail selection and great tap beer. Menu is currently limited to bruschetta board, waygu sliders, ahi poke, and fish taco. I had the weekend special shrimp PoBoy. It was delicious. So was the maple syrup bourbon old Fashy. It was dark when I was there but I'm sure the reviews are fantastic. Can't wait to come back with friends

    This ace is killer. Great atmosphere and ambiance. I jumped out the window to go swimming after a few vodka sodas.

    This is a dive bar. Right next to the tracks. We had a family event here and the food was very…read moregood. Not much for tap beer but they have the usual stuff in bottles. Decent service. Touch tunes. Pool table. Darts.

    I know lots of "local dives" that have great food and service. Unfortunately this is not one of…read morethem. It's not much to look at from the outside. The inside is bright, with lots of typical bar items, including video poker games, pool table, jukebox, etc. Came here on a Monday afternoon, after the lunch crowd. The was one other patron at the bar. We were the only table eating food. There were several staff at the bar, including the owner/cook, chatting it up and having a good time, and we got off to a great start. Our server got our party of 5 settled in with a clean wiped table and waters. The menu has typical bar, with includes unique burgers that we took a big interest in. We got several different sandwiches and burgers. All of them were "okay", but nobody was raving about their orders. Specifically, the fries were warm, but not hot, the smashburgers had good char, but not much flavor, and the presentation was not appetizing (the Cream Cheese on the Olive Burger looked curdled). We did share a couple pieces of the homemade cheesecakes (which were the non-baked whipped versions), and that was nice finish to the mediocre meal. The server was friendly, but didn't bother to check up on us. While she was socializing with the bar people, we had to fetch napkins, ask for waters, and then the check. I love to see Bar serve great food, but this one has a ways to go.
