    Seating area outside
    Ir S.

    My family and I went 3 times to eat. We have tried several different burgers and all of it was great. Atmosphere was super friendly with great service. Nice seating area right by the river. Best place to eat and have a good time in the area. Very much recommended.

    The fry portion is ridiculous
    Alyssa H.

    The food was good. The service wasn't bad. It did start getting packed around 1. Sooo....if you don't like crowds I would suggest going right when they open. Dog friendly. With all the dogs I seen come through there within the hour I was there eating, I'd recommend making a dog menu. People would love that. We sat outside where of course everyone wants to sit because of the river view. But the inside looked nice and quiet. Also looked very clean. The bar looks spacious

    We stopped at the Riverview Bar and Grill just at the end of town at Three Rivers California, really close to Sequoia national Park in Kings Canyon and it' has a quirky bar atmosphere with a really nice patio that overlooks a river. The food is a good value. Their boneless chicken wings came out as an order of 20 and it was a inexpensive. The side order curly fries also came out in a large basket. We also had their kick's chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce which also came out on a huge bun. Overall, a good value and probably one of your last options if you're going to one of the National parts I give it to thumbs up.

    Patty Melt with sweet potato fries
    Cheryl W.

    I loved the view by the river. We came in for an early dinner. We had the patty melt with sweet potato fries and the fish and chips. This is a great place to go after Sequoia or traveling through 3 Rivers. All the staff and bartenders were nice and welcoming. Inside there's a small bar area as well if you just want to stop by for a quick drink.

    BLT with sweet potatoe fries

    Came here for dinner for our first night out while visiting the sequoia national park. It was outside but they had fans and misters on. The river was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and food was decent. Drinks were good. Not a bad place to stop and have dinner.

    Onion rings
    Carrie S.

    They have a really nice outside patio overlooking the river. It was a little chilly but they had a lot of heaters. I had the Patty melt and upgraded to onion rings. The onion rings were really good. Crispy but not greasy. The patty melt was ok. The burger was great. The flavors were there. The bread was lightly grilled I guess. The bread was white bread and still soft which I thought was odd. I'm not sure if that's how they are usually made. I was disappointed. Service was good.

    Amazing place and I am glad I stumbled across it by accident. Live not too far from here and now it will be my getaway. Starting with the server her name is Brooke she was on par and one of the best servers that I have encountered for a long time. Hospitable and polite got the order right. We celebrated our dogs 3rd birthday here and we will be back again. Beautiful view of the river and food was amazing got the cod n fries and grilled chicken with bacon sandwich. The food was flavorful and tasty. Excellent service provided. Rockin Raffi gives this 2 thumbs up Brook thank you for making this a memorable experience for us and Shugar

    Cheeseburger and sweet potato fries

    Ambiance was really cool, we loved sitting outside! The burgers and sweet potato fries were yummy. The waitress were super nice. Service could have been slightly more attentive, but other than that everything was great!

    Mushroom Swiss burger. Can you find the mushrooms?
    Tatiana J.

    Cute atmosphere. Food is not great . Had a mushroom burger with what looked like two canned mushrooms. Unseasoned patty . Service is on the slower side. Keep in mind on the menu they give you a 90 mins time limit to dine in. Hard to dine in the 90 mins when it takes 15 just for a server to come to the table. You get half of the tables meals before utensils , then by the time silverware is given the food is cold. Could be a great little spot even during the "slow season" if food and service was a little better.

    Fish tack
    Vladyslav V.

    Let's start with the best - food. I absolutely enjoyed eating at Riverview restaurant, everything came out hot, fully cooked and just with enough flavor. There was always enough cheese on the burger and potato and without a doubt - it will Melt. Butternut squash was creamy and hot too - perfect morning snack. Fish taco - big and crunchy. As for the vibe - how it goes from the name of the restaurant - there is a stunning river view from the outside patio on to the nature and a fast-paced river. Very enjoyable for nature enthusiasts who come to Sequoia to embrace as much of that spirit as possible. There is also a pool and a bar area available. When we came on Monday we were seated promptly and got the menu quickly. The waiting time for the food to come out was a little too long both times we came (20+ mins) but we enjoyed looking at the river in the meantime. Now the service - service was awesome from one of the ladies who was serving at the highest level. Checked a couple of times if we needed anything else, made sure we got our order fulfilled perfectly. And I am not sure but we had to ask for a check - if it's supposed to be like this or it was just forgotten. Anyway For a place that is so hard to get the goods to - good menu variety and on Tuesdays the even have some specials. I heard they host Dj nights and karaoke too Friday-Sunday. Excited to come back on my next trip to Sequoia!

    Chili burger
    Ashley H.

    TLDR: nice place to eat pre/post sequoia hike Food: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 6/5 Service: 4 We came here on a Monday and it was (surprisingly) moderately full. Service took a while waiting in the front, but they were very nice and accommodating and nice. Shout out to our server (young girl with two nose piercings)! It is a delightful place, next to a small stream. Cool breeze blows over you (likely lower temperature due to stream), and you're surrounded by the beautiful nature while dining outside! Air is fresh, where you can literally SMELL the greenness (not very present in LA). The food is bland, particularly the chilli that wasn't very spicy or... spiced, but the buns were well grilled (slightly crispy) and buttery. It's hard to explain but it feels as if there is nothing wrong with execution, even great but the taste is just not there. It's not bad by any means. The fries were crispy and doesn't taste stale. I liked the mild raunch--maybe because it doesn't taste as strong as regular raunch (I don't like raunch). Also, the portions are MASSIVE; I wouldn't be able to finish even half of what they gave me. The price is certainly worth while. Personally was a fan of their Ginger Beer, Gosling brand (which is not on the menu). However, boyfriend thought it tasted like beer and disliked it. Keep in mind the expectations should usually be lowered for restaurants near national parks, so I'm not complaining too much. I probably wouldn't go here again, but I am a little picky about burgers and such. Definitely worth a visit just from the atmosphere

    Burger
    Frank R.

    food was pretty good. I have to say setting is absolutely beautiful, but the service was horrible. We cannot get a server to help us for a long time. The table next to us was also getting annoyed because they did not get service. I finally had to flag somebody down to get them to come over they tried to take our plates away when we were not even eat done eating. this is a good place to go but be prepared to sit for a while or ask for service.

    Beer by the river

    Thank god for River View Grill and Bar in Three Rivers as this was the only place in town that was open late for food and dining in. We were pleasantly surprised that we found this place and had an actual meal during our long weekend stay! We were staying in Three Rivers for our hiking trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and like most towns outside of a national park, it's rural and small, so options are limited. That's the case for food here, too. We had a hard time trying to find places to eat that were open beyond 8pm and we were starving, given that we were hiking all day. But we saw River View Grill and Bar on our way back into town from the park, so noted to check it out the next day. Since it was a holiday weekend, the place was super busy. We waited for 40 minutes for a table for two as everyone was trying to eat here. But it's worth the wait since it's the only place open late and they have lots of food options, especially the massive burgers that sounded too good to pass up. My partner and I both ordered double cheese burgers with fries, and it was exactly what we needed after a day of exploring. In addition to massive burgers, they have salads, housemade chili, which we also tried and was our favorite item here, craft beers and deep fried appetizers. There's a large outdoor space that looks out to the river, hence, the namesake and there's a bar in the front area where you can play pool. I'm just happy that we didn't need to eat protein bars and deli meat like the other nights during our weekend. The burgers and chili were much-needed sustenance.

I hate when people give a one star when they still ate the food. Anyways I called to see how late I could order. Come to find out I can order to go all the way until 9:30pm. I ordered my food around 8:30 pm tonight. Lady on phone said it would be ready in 15min. I got there about 8:50 and the food had just come out. Now about the food.. first off I have never been to a place that you can order steak with refried beans and Mexican rice. Lol..So I knew I had to order it! I ordered the rib eye steak, beans and veggies. I wasn't expecting anything great but let me tell you..the food was very good. I first took a bite of the medium rare steak and it was cooked perfect! Then I had to try those beans! And they were really good and the veggies were perfectly soft but not too soft. Usually when I eat at Texas Roadhouse their veggies are always too crunchy. So this was a big surprise. I will be here one more day and more than likely I will be coming back to eat in their outdoor dining area. Sometimes you just have to give something a chance.

The first red flag should have been when we arrived at 10 a.m. and the front door was still locked, despite there being two groups on the patio and a couple of cars in the lot. We brushed it off, thinking maybe we'd just missed the breakfast rush. The service was slow, but that wasn't the real issue. The food quality was absolutely bottom of the barrel. Our orders were incorrect, they were out of basic items like milk, and the French toast tasted like it had been made with toilet water. It was completely inedible. After the French toast meals were removed, we still walked out paying over $70 for just drinks and two kids' meals. Completely unacceptable. Never again--we should've trusted our gut and left the moment we started questioning it. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else. Would you like me to make a shorter, punchier version (more straight to the point for quick readers) as well, or keep it in this detailed style?

The man who greeted us upon arrival (I believe he was the owner as his there were photos of him and his wife on the wall) was very welcoming; unfortunately, we never saw him again after being seated. To preface the experience we had, It's worth noting that we were the only table in the entire restaurant. The waitress was not very friendly and was extremely unattentive. We had to flag her down for everything from ordering, to getting silverware, to actually checking out. She never once checked in with us to see how our food was or offer us refills on drinks. We also ordered a well drink from the bar and she automatically upcharged us without asking. As a former bartender I am all for upselling, but don't charge a customer for greygoose when they ordered a well vodka. Once we were finished eating we sat there for a good 15 minutes as she was outside on the patio smoking and chatting with her friends. When she did check us out she seemed bothered by us even being there and never once said thank you. The food itself was ok, we had two of their sandwiches with onion rings and fries. Overall though, I can't recommend this spot, which is sad because I love supporting local businesses. Hopefully this was just an off day for them.
