We recently visited for St. Patrick's Day, not on the actual day because it fell on Monday this year and they were closed. Instead they had a 4 day celebration with a special food menu. Although I only have a very small percentage of Irish in me, I'm celebrating full on and love anything with corned beef! We went on Thursday figuring it would be the least busy of the 4 days, and let me tell you the dinner crowd was hopping. We snagged the last 2 spots at the bar and ordered. I'm not a beer drinker but I appreciated they had 2 rotating taps for hard cider and went with a lemon flavored cider (sounded intriguing and could have went either way so I appreciated the small sample). I actually really liked it and am bummed I forgot to ask who makes it. We both thought the Irish nachos sounded fun and different and when we asked we found out they were huge and could easily feed 2 people. I'm so glad we decided to try something different. They were on homemade potato chips and had corned beef, bacon, banana peppers, thousand island dressing, sauerkraut and of course cheese and sour cream. They did not skimp on the corned beef or bacon!! The service was friendly and the atmosphere lively. We will definitely be back because the regular menu also looked great!! read more

Came here with family for the live music, which was excellent and made for a lively, fun ambiance. The space is really nice on the inside with plenty of tables. This is a stupid thing but I loved how most of the tables had outlets next to them. As a remote worker it's something that I pay attention to because I'm always looking for spots to work to get out of the house. We ordered some food and drinks for the table. The chips and salsa/guac was good but nothing exceptional but The snack board was fun and plentiful. I loved the pretzel bites and the mustard they came with - so yummy! The selection of beers was decent and I liked how they offered flights. It would have been nice for them to have some sort of "recommended" flight since I wasn't sure what the most popular beers were. I had heard great things about the lemon cider but unfortunately they were out of it for the day. I would definitely come back to try it. Overall this was a nice little afternoon! It's a bit far for me so I likely wouldn't come back frequently but if I were in the area I would absolutely stop back in. read more

totally deserves a 1 star review. It's the most disgusting restaurant I have ever been to everything on the menu is disgusting. I asked for a sprite. They said they don't have soda. I asked for an ice water. They said they didn't have ice and that she had to get your own water at a water fountain around the corner. Then I ordered the only thing I thought I could eat, which was nachos and the meat on it was rotten. This is literally the most disgusting restaurant ever the only people rating at a 4.5 must be family members of the restaurant super gross. The owner claims there's no way that the meat could've been rotten because they stand behind all of their food which is a shame cause it's also disgusting. You're right it probably wasn't rotten because it was canned nasty. read more

Our first time here and we will be back. A delightful place with games to play if you choose including darts. The beer choices are ample and a good variety. The beer tastes great. The food menu is awesome. We had a snack of pretzels with homemade mustard which was great. Self serve water which is nice. The service is so friendly and attentive, you feel at home and welcomed. The tables and couches along with a fireplace offers another homey touch to add to the ambiance. read more

Stopped in today for the first time and had lunch. I had a burger and fries which was very good. I had a Hop Passport so I tried two different beers, both were very good. The beer selection was great with a wide variety of styles. The service was great and the brewery itself has a lot of both indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a large parking lot which is always a plus. read more

Saturday afternoon, looking for something different to do for lunch with a friend. Here is what we liked: * ample parking and nice spot next to the river- hence the River Edge name. * immediate seating on a Saturday afternoon. * good beer list as well as other drinks. * cheese sauce on the pretzels was so good. *french fries with sandwich were good. *brat was quite good in taste What could of been better: *service was slow. At one point our server was off and someone else took over. No communication- just took a long time for things including the bill. I am sure this was not typical but it was the experience today. * flatbread were just ok- needed to be baked a bit longer- crust was a little soft * brat is served on a hamburger pretzel roll- while not bad, the bread to brat ratio just wasn't right. Would definitely like to come and try it again, there was more we liked than didn't and may have been a off day. read more

Walking into River's Edge Brewery feels like coming home - if home had an incredible craft beer selection and mouthwatering comfort food! The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere and staff who treat you like old friends, even remembering your name and favorite brew if you're a regular. The food menu doesn't take a backseat to the brews. Think elevated pub fare that still hits those comfort food cravings - the kind of dishes that pair perfectly with a cold one after a long day. Everything tastes homemade, because it is. What really sets River's Edge apart is the staff. In a world of increasingly impersonal service, they've maintained that small-town friendly vibe where everybody knows your name (or will soon enough). It's become my go-to spot not just for the excellent beer and food, but because it feels like my own personal "Cheers." If you're looking for a brewery that combines craft beer expertise with genuine hospitality and great food, you've found your spot at River's Edge. Just save me a seat at the bar!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

As far as breweries go, the drink selection was ok. Everything else felt basic. No different than any other standard restaurant. But I think $14 for a BLT is egregious. The "premium" pricing for everything absolutely did not match the experience I had. We also had an extra entree item thrown on our bill that we didn't order. There are better places to visit. read more

We had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. Upon arrival, we were not greeted, and the only staff member present was the bartender. Not sure what to do... my fiancé went to the bar to ask for a menu and was met with an attitude. The bartender curtly informed us that the only menu available was online. We decided to sit at the bar, where there were some serving trays in front of my seat. When my fiancé moved them aside to make room, the bartender rudely snapped, "I'll take care of those, sir." The lack of basic courtesy and the unwelcoming atmosphere made for a terrible experience. We won't be returning and do not recommend this place to anyone looking for friendly service and a pleasant dining experience. We left and had a wonderful time at Charlie's on Main, excellent food. read more

Legit hidden gem. The beers are unique as well as delicious. And the beers are SO good. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Stopped in here for the first time after a trip to Kensington Park. Nice patio area, nice staff, a lot of beer to choose from on the menu. I enjoyed my Pretzel Board. The pretzel came out soft, warm, and salty, and the two mustards were tasty. The sausage slices and cheese cubes were also a nice touch, but I expected the cheese to be a dip for some reason. My friend enjoyed her Brianna's Little Monster sandwich but the jalapeno slices in it made it too spicy, so she ended up picking the sandwich apart. Be warned: it's really spicy with lots of whole jalapeno slices throughout. My peach sangria was refreshing and had very nice flavor -- not overly boozy or syrupy. I'd return again if I were in the area...especially curious about the rest of their beers and sausage variety. read more

Warm and rustic setting for this brewing company. It's of course right along the river in Milford and has indoor and outdoor seating. Great selection of beers and food for all palates. Had a "box" with meat cheese, crackers, nuts and something sweet. A nice filler with our beer. Will definitely come back! read more

My wife and I recently dined here as part of a dinner and a movie event. I was extremely disappointed right off the bat when I found out they don't serve ice tea or fountain drinks. They didn't even have ice for the water they served me. Service was extremely slow and I had to ask repeatedly for a refill of my water. My salad came out with the wrong dressing and when I asked for whar I ordered, the server said she would have to check to see if they had anything else. The food was all pre-ordered so this should not have been a problem. Overall the other couple that was with us will not being coming back here ever. What restaurant doesn't have fountain drinks or even ice??? read more

While I'm not a beer person, I certainly appreciate a great brewery! Thus location is on the edge of downtown and is open and inviting. The ma go hard cider on draft was lovely. Light, refreshing and a great alternative to beer! read more

Had never been to Milford and were looking to strike out on the Huron River for the afternoon. Lucky for us, River's Edge was doing take out during the Covid19 pandemic. We dropped our canoe about a mile up river, put in our order, and it (and we) were on time for riverside carry out. Paddled a little further and enjoyed our food and beer on the water during the first really nice weekend of the spring. Beer was solid. Will try another one (has the white IPA) next time we are there l. Food was solid too. The Cuban Missile wasn't exactly what I was expecting but it was damn good. Basically a local Michigan version of an old favorite. Adding this place to the list for post-pandemic visits! read more

Got take out lunch from here after kayaking. Our food was ready quickly and the staff was very helpful over the phone. It was relatively inexpensive and is in a great location right off the river. I got the bratwurst and it was okay. I loved the slaw that it came with. But otherwise it was average I'd say. The Cuban sandwich was delicious. We loved the pickles on the side as well. My friend enjoyed his ranch wrap. The portions were generous as well. the food was average overall. read more

The beer was alright. Unfortunately these things called French fries, known for a moment as freedom fries, but they are now French fries again are supposed to be served hot. When they come to the table cold and you ask for a hot batch, you'd thing someone would verify after the first screwup that they were in fact hot but no, another batch of barely warm fries. Terrible service recovery, a $7 credit on 4 meals that had inedible fries doesn't quite do it. Please do better... either stop selling fries or learn how to do it right. read more

Happy to support local businesses during COVID. Visited the brewery for the first time and didn't realize that you needed to call ahead to make reservations. They were accommodating and were able to get us a table on a Saturday night about an hour before closing. The waitress was super friendly and let us know to order before 9pm if we wanted food. My husband and I both had wraps, which were more like panini style pressed with a crispy bread. Very decent portion size and chips for the price. We were impressed by the beers. Can't wait to return to try more food and different beers! read more

Always great craft brews available because they are brewed on site. They have guest food companies come in to provide the food and it's really good. The night I ate there Cooper's Dish was there serving up Tennessee cookin'. I had their pulled pork sandwich, Mac-n-cheese, and cornbread. All was excellent. River's Edge rotates guest foods and their beers so it's always an adventure when you go there. read more

River's Edge is one of our go-to spots for after work drinks in Milford! They have a great selection of beers, and the beer menus/ descriptions are hilarious. They also offer a good amount of complementary food, and a solid selection of sausages/ platters if that's your thing. The service is quick, and they have adequate seating for big groups too. Keto/ Low Carb folks: River's Edge is not exactly keto friendly. Pretty much all of the beers are high carb, and they don't serve any hard alcohol for mixed drinks. Because of the hipster nature of River's Edge, they don't serve conventional soft drinks, so Diet Coke isn't an option either. They do offer a handful of wine options, but if you're not big on wine like me, you might be left drinking water. :( read more

Excellent beer and food!! A must go too in Milford!!! The staff is also so genuine and kind. We had a great time here!

Solid beer. I liked the "miles away" Cold "Nashville hot" (not) chicken sandwich that was cold with no flavor, bun cold too, served with what looked like skim milk, tasted like water. for $14 with no fries!. Would go back for the beer and the beer only read more

This review doesn't really pertain to the food or drinks, because.... we couldn't even get that far. We wanted to go out to dinner yesterday as a family - myself, husband and two kids (4.5 & 2). Our normal place has been Milford House because the food was good, beer was cold and the arcade was tons of fun! We tried to go to Milford House and the doors were shut for a remodel of sorts. So, we decided to try someplace new and our first thought was River's Edge. We pull up and prepare to walk inside. Immediately, my husband notices an odd sign out front to "parents" that basically says your kids need to be still and quiet, or they get kicked out. Weird..... but, okay? So, we walk in and immediately see 3 female servers/bartenders. They look at us and don't say anything. We stand there, waiting patiently, assuming someone will greet us in a moment. Then we realize they're just standing there chatting amongst themselves. Feeling really awkward and slightly annoyed at this point, I walk to the bar where the three of them are standing and ask if we seat ourselves. They say, "yes, absolutely!", then I ask about a high chair and they point to me where they are and then carry on with their conversation. I grab one and we move outside where we felt we wouldn't disturb the place, I guess. Server comes out and asks what she can get us. No greeting.. no introduction. I ask her if they have an additional beer menu, as in more beers than what was listed on what looked to be a "specials" menu. She again just seemed inconvenienced by my request and hands me another menu of the exact same type. So, I explain to her the miscommunication and also that we haven't ever been to this restaurant before, so we aren't aware of all their details. Shit. So, she kind of seems to act like a decent person after this, but we asked for a moment to review the menu. The menu had absolutely nothing to offer us for food, so we ultimately left. I really could not believe the lousy treatment from the second we walked up to the place. How is a place like this still in business? You need to greet people when they walk in the door. Direct them where to sit or suggest they seat themselves but do NOT just ignore a family standing in the doorway while you're 10 feet away and talking amongst yourselves. This was awkward and just unkind. Bring waters to the table, greet the guests and introduce yourself. Ask if we have ever been to the establishment before! We would have said no and you could have explained the basic concept of the place and the menus. That would have saved us all confusion and misunderstanding. We went to Main Street Grill and we were immediately greeted with kindness and hospitality. I've been in this industry before, my husband and I both. We have both managed restaurants in the Royal Oak area that have outlasted many others, ten times over. We understand hospitality and we also understand lousy staff. This was 1,000% a case of lousy staff and honestly, lousy people. read more

Cold Fries, Salad that sat under the heat lamp, burnt food....just come to drink. Some of the worst food I've had in quite awhile.

Sigh. I've been here. Lots. And most of the time its been fine. Tonight? Potentially the worst I've ever seen at any place in any town in any country. I have one requirement - just one. No Mayo. And I understand, mistakes happen. So I know every once in awhile it occurs and I have to send something back. Its not intentional. Tonight: Sit down. Order beer. Order food. Get beer. Wait. and Wait. and wait. and wait. Apparently our tab fell down a crack or something. No worries it happens. When my sandwich arrives? Of course it has mayo. Our server was equally miffed as after about an hour a mayo laden sandwich, the one thing I don't touch, appears. So hey - its only been an hour. Lets remake, a sandwich. And what does it have on it. Mayo. I get it mistakes happen. But after being here upwards of 30-35 times over a year. I'm guessing I'm the problem and my patronage isn't desired. Not sure where to send in my mug club card but honestly... this was bad. really really bad. read more

This place is a great chill atmosphere with some really good Beers. Servers/service was awesome and pleasant (especially Jase B.). He took great care of us. read more

Stopped in with a party of 10 for lunch and could not have been happier with our experience. Our server was extremely friendly and quick to answer any questions we had. She had our drinks out immediately and food not much later. The corned beef sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches were amazing. Other orders were Chicken BLT pizza, REBC Burger, BLT, and a brat burger. If the food didn't all get devoured it was brought home to enjoy later as the portions were quite filling. I also tried the Oktoberfest beer and Zwickel-Dee-Do-Dah beers, enjoyed those as well. We just happened to be in the area and thought the menu looked good, after stopping in and having such a great experience I look forward to going back and trying something new! read more

We rode 20 Miles on our bikes then sat out and asked for a few waters before ordering food and beer. The waitress refused to bring us water. Said you have to go in and get it yourself from a plastic cooler. This is not on the waitress. She must have been told to say that from a manager or owner. Just so wrong and weird. Food is O K here the beer can be good from time to time. read more

This is my fourth trip to River's Edge. Every time the service has been great. I wasn't overly impressed by the beers the first two visits which were over a year ago. The last two visits have produced the same great service and the beers are now excellent too! There's been some changes in the brewery and the end product really shows it. Lots of different styles and collaborations with other brewers, which is a sign of a great brewery. The food has also ramped up and is really good. The atmosphere is cool with places to plug in a laptop and get some work done if you need it. Overall, I highly recommend this place. read more

I love this place. By far my favorite brewery around! Beer is awesome food is awesome.

I don't understand the poor reviews so had to chime in with some sense! This is a welcome addition to the Milford dining/bar scene. I have been there several times now since it's opened and my husband is a member of the mug club. The waitstaff goes out of their way to know and remember your name. The beer is fantastic. (My personal favorite is the Golden Ticket.) They change frequently since they're moving so much beer due to high demand (a great problem to have and evidence of the quality!) They do have a small menu that consists of sandwiches - delicious sandwiches. The bread is sourced from Crust in Fenton, the meat from the butcher shop and other bits from local farmers markets. The Ryan's Gift to the World sandwich is one of the best I've ever had and I highly recommend. Each sandwich comes with a bag of Better Made chips & a McClures pickle. Simple and SMART. The focus here is the beer - but - having a nice sandwich to eat if you want to go for dinner is a great option. They also have warm pretzels & cheese dip (also great) and popcorn. In sum, you should not hesitate to visit, drink & eat. It's so great to have a high quality brewery and operation in Milford! read more

A great addition to the city of Milford, it's nice to have something that's not another bar or restaurant. The vibe of Rivers Edge is different, almost like a northern michigan brewery. Frequent live music and a large selection of beer, mostly made in house, it's a great destination with friends. A variety of seating options such as high tops, long tables and even couches. Perhaps my favorite part is that they have different games, especially UNO, to play at the table. Prices vary a lot here, depending on if the beer is in house or external, and the size/ alcoholic content of the beer. The higher the content, the higher the price. Some beers come in several sizes which start at about 5 ounces and go up from there, increasing by a dollar or two each time. There is no liquor here, but they do have a cider. I believe it's from northville and comes in Raspberry and Apple flavor, and the apple is definitely better! Check it out with friends or family, definitely not a destination for food, but a great place to enjoy a drink (or two) and perhaps catch some live music. read more

Spencer was our host and he was extremely accommodating. Got us samples for almost everything we asked. Also gave us tips on Kayaking down the river and where to park for savoring a beer. Beer menu is PHENOMENAL! We had Nachos and they were great. Overall, a beautiful cozy place. read more

I love this place! Great beer selection, great food including a nice veggie selection. The staff was very fast and friendly. The decor was very cool. The web site gives an accurate description. It was busy but you could still maintain a normal conversation. Everything was a resonable price but the bill while accurate was confusing. They list a base price for the beer then a add on price for a larger size It would be easier to simply list the larger size price. Did I mention I love this place! read more

pros: good beer, good food. the waitstaff is great, particularly Rudy and Emily! Plus, you can literally get there on canoe. Love the old books they use to give you your check, and they have shuffleboard! cons: can be hard to find seating as it's a happening spot! read more

I wrote a 1 star review a while back after the brewery went through many changes including losing their award winning brewmaster. I deleted the review after going back recently to give it another chance. This place has always been my favorite bar in Milford and it was killing me not to go. The beer is much improved. Recently they made a change to not allow kids to sit at the bar, and 21 and up after 9pm. I cannot applaud this enough. I believe this is the first bar in Milford to do this, but it needed to be done. Kids and bad parents were ruining this place - much like many other bars in the area. Hats off to you River's Edge. I'll be back again. Cheers! read more

If you're looking for the worst service in town, come here. The servers act as if you're bothering them and they are anything but friendly. And I get that they don't know how much beer to make but every time I've come here they always seem to be out of something listed on their beer menu. My guess is that if they had better service, more people would show up which means they'd know how much beer to make. read more
