It's kind of a big metal two-story industrial looking shack. You might even wonder if you're in the right spot, though there's a sign on the building that says "Rivers Edge Restaurant." The restaurant is upstairs; I recommend rounding the corner to park up at the lot above rather than below. There's a side entrance you'll use, go past the restrooms, round another corner to go past the kitchen, and then you'll finally find the counter. You can order to-go or be seated in the dining area (which is also where there are a few slot machines and a billiards table). The guy running the place is friendly and attentive; he refilled our drinks while we were there. There's a decent number of options on the menu, with some great affordable options. Overall a great experience and a good way to get some food in us to resume our road trip.

I found this place in the small town of Rufus, OR because the menu looked great and wanted something local. We arrived and it looked pretty busy, which is a good sign. We walked in and I saw a SALAD BAR... now this sold me !!! Not only the menus items looked great, but they had specials as well. I chose the special - spareribs, baked potato and SALAD BAR. All was very good. This is definitely on of those old school, local dining joints with good food. Our waitress was attentive, but down to business.. no chit-chat. Not so sure if we weren't local enough or just a bad day.

I got the wings with sweet Thai chili. Perfect cook, slight crunch on the skin, juicy on the inside. Nicely sauced. Ranch dressing was good too. BUT almost $2 per wing, for normal size wings, is a bit much, Santa Claus, prices??? The pulled pork sandwich was the star, and honestly it a very good value. I got it with the smokey sauce. Love the normal bun, not toasted, it gets soggy from pork and pickle juices, it slowly destroys itself as you eat. I thought the finely chopped and pulled pork was wonderful. I thought the smokey bbq sauce was sweet with smoke, onion, and a little spicy note. Not to much sauce on top, I do like to sauce my own sandwich anyway. I have learned to get a take out individual sauce just in case, and that was the right decision. Staff was nice, my order was ready on time. Decor is grinchy, you know the Grinch has to be in town somewhere. Maybe the should switch to drum sticks or thighs, for a better value, because the know how to cook wings, the price is just a couple of bucks to high for 5 wings.
