Been here a couple times now, and both times were pleasant experiences. We've been lucky enough to have good service and attentive staff. I have no complaints there. The food we ordered came in a timely manner and the portions are large. The food was solid, and temperature wise they were nice and hot. Based on my experiences here, I'd come back again. read more

Been here before with my husband. The people are nice. This time I came in the morning wanting a French toast. I did get it and French toast was not that impressive. With the toast has eggs and two little sausage with the prize of over $20. The place still looks the same and since it was the morning it was not busy. Do I recommend it? I would say, try it. read more

First of all let me say those stuff hashbrowns are amazing!! I would probably share with someone since it is a larger dish and it doesn't reheat well. The pancakes were kinda bland despite being super fluffy. The batter just needed a dash of vanilla or almond extract and it would have been a knock out of the park. Their sausage was amazing had a delish crisp to it which I love! And service was also amazing as our server was definitely busy but very attentive. Can't wait to come back! read more

I heard about the stuffed hash browns here and had to give it a shot. They absolutely didn't disappoint. The servers are all so pleasant and welcoming. We had the restaurant mostly to ourselves so the vibe was perfect for an early morning breakfast. Great mimosas, fast and friendly service, and the hangover 2 is my absolutely fave! The various savory flavors causing a party in my tummy some of the best biscuits and gravy I've had. I love this place and will continue to come back read more

First time here based on other good Yelp reviews. Saturday breakfast, 9 am- ish. Not too busy. We ordered Hangover II, and the Collage Special The PROS: Really big portions. Coffee was good. Pet friendly patio. Hollandaise sauce is nice, eggs were cooked perfectly. Pancakes had a nice vanilla flavor. To-go boxes were a must. The CONS: Most notably, the food was warm, but not hot. Not cold, but it was a bit odd, seeing how they were not that busy. The restaurant itself is comfortable, but could benefit from some touch- up and a little scrubbing, but it was by no means run-down. Same with the rest rooms. Clean, but a few items were missing. BOTTOM LINE: Pleasant and attentive staff. A fine local restaurant. If you are in the area, your tummy will not be disappointed. Rating: 6.5/10 PS - You can't actually see the river's edge from the cafe, but the access point is only about a 2 block walk away. read more

Walk in the door and get greeted with a smile and a welcoming hello! Cozy and comfortable environment. Three different breakfast orders and all three were good across the board.

After a 6 mile river walk nearby. We've stopped in here to grab some breakfast. Nice and friendly staff. The portions here were decent for what you get. I ordered their griddle with pancakes with a side of hash browns, and my friend ordered their stuffed hash brown. My eggs were cooked just right. The serving size for the pancakes was worth it cause I am a pancakes kind of girl!!! I got 6 pancakes total! I was happy! I could see ourselves coming here after hiking the trails nearby. This will definitely be our go-to place to grab a hearty breakfast! read more

We have been here many times. The atmosphere is adaptable for kids, pets, parties, hangover spot, you name it.. the food is always amazing and they will allow you to do a split/share plate. I recommend the Hangover II however I did not order that item on this day. The waiter/bartender is attentive and the portion size is awesome! This is a 5 star recommendation. read more

We love our weekend meal outings and try to look for another go to we can frequent. Sad to say though the service from our waitress was spectacular, they really do need the extra hands to provide timely service. There are two staff waitress and probably one cook which delayed receiving our order. Food ok, prices are up there with nothing to look forward to spend on a meal. I had a simple grilled cheese, he a burger. Again, I stress the waitress was amazing, quality of food and menu options have room to improve. read more

Parking 10/10 Restaurant 10/10 Bathroom 10/10 Service 10/10. Very attentive and patient. The man that served us did great. It was early when we went in so there was only a few of us. But he made sure we're okay throughout our dine in. Ambience 10/10. Was super relaxing and enjoyable Definitely returning. Higher portion of food. If you're ever in the area I must recommend that you dine in here and check the place out for yourself. Ops forgot to take picture of menu. Sorry read more

Food was okay, not great. Food came out warmish, not hot. Hashbrowns were bland and soda was flat. I've had worse and better. Overall not worth the price. Will not be returning. read more

Hornet Burger was delicious with Sweet potato fries in the side. I recommend! Sat outside and they had water for my dog. Plenty of shade.

Food excellent, good service and view. Recommend highly, go early, no reservations taken

I had the hang over 2 and it was SO good!!!! The stuffed hash browns are a game changer!!! The biscuits were fresh and so soft. The portions are also huge for 18.25. 10/10 stars I highly recommend.

We live down the street from here and really do love this little community diner! The amount of food you get is insane. My wife and mother-in-law and always share the hangover II and they are always accommodating to my picky eating ways (onions and sour cream on the side please!). Food is always delicious! I have yet to try anything I don't like! If you find yourself in the Arden area looking for breakfast you won't be disappointed at Rivers Edge Cafe! read more

Thankfully I stumbled across this restaurant one day because it was across the street from me. It was such a great experience that I just keep going back now even though I've moved. First, when you walk in you're greeted with fresh baked cookies on the counter (for free!) and there usually isn't ever a wait. The seating is comfortable and servers have all been incredibly nice. Everything I've ordered is a hit and they all come in great portion sizes so if you aren't a big eater you can share a plate or take home some leftovers! My favorites I've gotten here is the fried rice and the chicken and waffles Benedict. It's also nice that they have a good selection of bottomless drinks such as coffee and soda. It's a very homey casual diner type restaurant with mostly brunch menu items but with a variety of options to choose from. read more

Seems like your basic neighborhood breakfast spot. We came on a Sunday morning and they were short staffed. They had, adorably, set out a tray of cookies as a 'sorry'/'thank you'. We waited about 20ish minutes, but used that time to walk around Big Lots. We were concerned the service was going to be terribly slow, but couldn't find another place nearby and ended up staying. I was pleasantly surprised, we received our drinks, put in our orders, and received our food much faster than I imagined we would. I had the salmon omelet and it was good in a bad kind of way. It's hard to explain. I think it might have had too many capers, and I almost wish it had been served cold. It was definitely one of those entrees I'd eat again simply out of curiosity rather than enjoyment. It was a decent sized portion and I had leftovers to take home with me. Would come back again perhaps if in the area read more

Terrible Customer Service! Walked in today around 12pm and no one greeted us or acknowledged we were there. No one checked the waitlist you had to add yourself to for 15mins. The waitress in a yellow tshirt moved at a snails crawl despite seeing customers waiting. We walked out. Don't waste your money here. read more

One of the best corned beef hash meals (with eggs, tomato slices and two pancakes) in town. (We've been checking out places with corned beef hash lately.) Real corned beef cubes! Our server Beth was friendly and attentive to our needs. We'll be back. read more

Loves this place BUT came by for a nice early breakfast but guess what they open at 9am? So II guess this is a late morning breakfast place. Uggg that puts this in a more lunch/brunch place . read more

I ordered eggs Benedict. The hollandaise was good but my eggs were hard boiled. Just no.

The stuffed hashbrowns were tasty. The pancakes were fluffy and well cooked. Our mimosa and bloody mary wasn't super strong. There was a long wait to get our food but overall worth it. read more

Parking is good, service was good and prompt to come take our orders. Food portions was VERY hearty and def more than enough to take home. The food was good, just wish it had some more seasoning, however it was still good and i just settled with adding salt and pepper. The kids menu is quite small, but you can do an a la carte and freestyle it if need be. It's a nice spot to come and eat, the eggs were cooked well and they were able to substitute certain items. I just wish there was more flavor. My nephew had the burger which he said was good he just wish they had more hot sauce options. Overall a nice experience. read more

OVER PRICED, with a LACKLUSTER LOCATION I don't understand why, or how this place has so many good reviews, and why anyone would come here? The prices are super super expensive. Like, there's a million better places for literally half the price. Basic eggs and bacon for 20$?? We spent 48$ for two people. Really?? No thanks. The location also sucks. It's not nice. It's not mid town, or fair oaks. Or Roseville. It's across the street from some nasty apartments? It's not on the river. . . And the outside seating is just ok. But for some reason there are quite a few people here on a Friday for brunch. Not sure why? The guy who took my order was really nice. But that was the only perk. Oh, and we got paper plates and plastic silverware?? Wow. McDonald's has the same for half of the price. read more

I love the Big Stuffed Hash browns. I order from their app and state light onions, and crispy hash browns. Usually get that right, but then they place the order in a plastic bag and tie it tight. So it sits there and sweats ruining the crunchy hash browns and ruining the dish!!!! My advice, don't order it take out!!!! You will always be disappointed!!! read more

I love this place the food is always delicious they give big portions and the staff is very nice.

Nice local place. Over the last six years, I have visited here maybe five times. I did not live in the area until this year; but my daughter did. We met different times of the day and even reserved the patio for my daughter's baby shower one fine day five years ago. Each time has been a positive experience. The food is tasty and served pleasantly. Yesterday, I tried out their To Go (the only option during our covid shutdown phase). All went well for each online ordering and pick up. Ordered a veggie omelette with no onions or peppers, hash browns, and an English muffin. Pick up was smooth; just go in, give name, get order, and go. I was driving somewhere and did not get to eat for about 20 minutes. Surprisingly, my food was well packaged as it was still warm. Except for a desire for maybe half the spinach, I really enjoyed the omelette. Hash browns can be a risk with some places for being too dry but it here. They were browned, it not burned or cook so thin that they could lose their moisture. When we are able to sit out on the patio or inside the restaurant again, one will find it a relaxing place with friendly staff. A homey vibe what is inviting. Very happy with my experiences and will continue to go. read more

I've been here a few times over the past decade or so but this time around I ordered the Breakfast Club which was with a side of hash browns. The food was very good but the prices have definitely skyrocketed the past few years. 20$ for a sandwich and sides stop the 5 stars. They also changed the format so you order at the front and pay instead of restaurant style where you pay at the end which I didn't mind. I always see lines outside on weekends so I would suggest going weekdays when its a lot slower or going a few minutes before they open. read more

Rivers Edge Cafe - Stuffed Hash Browns and Side of Biscuits & Gravy - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came for breakfast, breakfast was served! They have changed a little since Covid times. Instead of having waiters/waitresses you order at the front and take a number. No worries. The service was still quick and efficient. They offer basic American breakfasts as well as some custom menu items like stuffed hash browns with bacon, sausage and cheese. The basic breakfast was good! Sausage was cooked well, eggs cooked soft scrambled as asked and the has browns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Only downside was the biscuits and gravy were pretty plain- we added bacon on top to add more flavor. And everything was served on paper and plastic as if we were eating in a cafeteria. Regular silverware and plates would be more environment friendly. read more

The service was good, therefore an additional star. Otherwise, no stars. I had breakfast there with my family, and we ordered omelets. I believe it was $18.50 for the omelette they came with a side of potatoes or hash browns and toast or pancakes. The food was so bland. How do you mess up pancakes? They were so dense they were hard to cut. They didn't taste like anything. The omelette had no flavor or even salt. Even after adding some condiments it just didn't taste good. In addition, it took so long to get our food. I noticed a few other patrons left their plates nearly full. The image attached was my dads plate. This man will always clean his plate and also has a simple pallet. For him to leave this much food says a lot. I don't usually leave bad reviews but I do this in hopes they improve the food. read more

First of all I am a big breakfast lover so I like to think I know breakfast Selection is limited and I can understand so I ordered huevos rancheros eggs over easy For 24 w coffee I ask where is the rest of it? This was not what o am used to Sauce was meh, looked like 1 maybe 2 egggs w cheese a small avocado sour cream a dab of cruda and lettuce I question what was the extra tortilla for? Absolutely nothing to put in it except lettuce ? I get prices are higher but I feel taken advantage of To be fair I saw other dishes peeps ordered and they looked a bit heftier but I am avoiding potatoes I guess the good thing was I am not stuffed to the gills Sorry rivers edge but there are better values out there for my dollah! read more

The prices are kind of high for the amount of food you get and the quality of food. The food was decent but the prices were definitely too high compared to other places we eat. They serve you in disposable cups and plates so clean up is easy ! Order first then sit down they'll bring your food out to you. read more

First time (and last) dining here. My husband & I, new to the area thought we'd give this nice looking cafe a try. We were disappointed on all levels. Extremely slow service-looked like only one wait staff for the whole cafe. Quality- my $18 crispy chIcken wrap with fries was so bad I didn't finish it. The crispy chicken tasted like oil, the shredded lettuce was pale & flavorless, tortilla wrap was flat & greasy.and the fries were heavy & tasted like oil. My husband had a chicken wrap with a salad & he said the same pale, flavorless lettuce that was on his plate was also stuffed in his wrap, with very little chicken- $18! Our total bill was nearly $50 for a regrettable lunch. read more
