    What an experience. Arrived around 6:30 on a Sunday night and expected to have a wait time but we were not prepared for the lack of organization of the hostess stand. It appeared they had been taking names/numbers earlier in the evening (and allowing people to leave) but at some point they stopped and you just had to stand in a line until it was your turn to be seated. This resulted in a 45 minute wait time in the lobby while some guests who were able to put names in earlier came back and "cut" you in line. We were in no rush but this certainly wasn't ideal and I felt very bad for the hostess (maybe she was new?) who was bussing tables, taking orders, closing tabs, and attempting to seat people. When we got seated we ordered right away as we had observed some other guests seated before us still not have food 40 minutes in. We ordered the fish and chips and the smash burger. Fish and chips were average, good fish quality but the batter had a strange taste and was quite flakey. The burger was very flavorful and a huge serving size, highly recommend. The views from the restaurant were also lovely, with lots of late evening sunshine and huge windows with a great view of the ocean/bay.

    Dropped in for a late lunch with some friends. Location is phenomenal with oceanside views and giant windows to bring light into the space. Setup inside is spacious with nice wooden furniture. Parking outside is easily accessible in a gravel lot. Service was casual - we were only one of a handful that decided to come in for a 2pm lunch so we didn't have to wrestle with competing tables. Food exceeded expectations. Our bar was relatively low for smaller towns but the seasoning on everything was great. We had a salad, clam chowder, and the fish and chips and everything was tasty without being overbearing. The portion sizes are meaningful - took a photo of the clam chowder that could easily be an entire meal and more. Would come back again for the views + there's not a lot of alternatives in La Push!

    Great food, great service, great view. Surprised it wasn't more busy in a Sunday evening! A must stop!

    We were exploring La Push, hoping to catch some fish from the jetty (beautiful spot, even if you re not fishing) and this is one of the few restaurants in the area. Frankly, this might be the best restaurant in the area, all the way to Port Angeles. Don't be fooled by the exterior! tThe restaurant is very nice, the food is great, and the service is kind and reliable. The views of the river heading to the ocean are sweet! It's not cheap, but what is, especially this far from a big city (and in the PNW no less...!?) We had the salmon, clam chowder, fish and chips, calamari, chicken sandwich, and fry bread apple dessert. Everything was really good. The Mac and Jack Amber beer was fresh and delicious as well. The standout was that dessert though, sooo good! Wish we hadn't been so full. Most of the portions were very large, though the salmon was a little small imho. Note: My pickiest eater, who lives on chicken sandwiches, didn't love the beer batter on his sandwich. That said, my fish and chips loving kid said his (beer battered) fish was some of the best he's had.... P.S. Everybody loved the waffle fries!

    What a nice view of the harbor and marina. Had lunch here and the prices were reasonable. Food was pretty good and service was excellent. Had the salmon and fried calamari appetizer.

    Melinda took great care of us last weekend! She provided excellent service and the food was phenomenal! I would recommend the chowder, Brussel sprouts, and the sweet potato fries were out of this world! Beautiful views too!

    Rivers Edge Restaurant, La Push beach

    Great, friendly service. The man we spoke with told us all about his childhood there on the reservation. Staying the night in the Big Tree with his friends and Patches, his dog. We ordered fish &chips and clam chowder to- go ( strict schedule) in our RV. The restaurant has a big parking lot (big enough for our 30ft rv) overlooking La Push beach. The clam chowder was the best that I've ever had and being from San Francisco Bay Area, I've tasted some of "the best". The clam chowder at Rivers Edge was way better than anything I've ever tasted. It is homemade, creamy and thick with onions, celery and potatoes. I even suspected a bit of bread mixed in. It was amazing. I'm sad we took it to-go because I need a few more bowls. I would have stuffed my freezer full.

    Great spot for a few cocktails. The view is stunning at all times of the day. The service is outstanding. If you need any tips on how to spend your day or need advice on must see places, everyone is extremely helpful. We stopped here several times on our daily walk along the beach. The fish and chips were delightful. We split them Everytime we came in for a quick snack before making our way back to our bed and breakfast.

    Hostess got us a table even though they had a line out the door and we got there 30 minutes before closing - they stayed open late to make sure we had a table, which we really appreciated. Their clam chowder was amazing and their fry bread apple pie dessert was THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER EATEN.

    The view was beautiful! Staff was very friendly and nice. I got the calamari appetizer and it was decent. Fish and chips weren't very good, berry cobbler is made daily and was decent.

    Does River's Edge allow patrons to connect via WiFi?

    The restaurant does not have WiFi available for guests/customers and has a sign saying so inside near the front door. Verizon data plan connects decently, sometimes a little slow. T-Mobile data was not connecting and was unavailable.

    We hit the jackpot on our last day in Port Renfrew as we checked out of our cottage. The Seafoam…read moreSeafoods truck was open for business in the morning, so we were able to visit Miss Lilian. She gave us samples of pretty much everything she had to offer. I'll try to add some photos on this review, because I'm also adding this as a business to Yelp along with posting the review. You really can't get much fresher Salmon than this. Seafoam is the First Nation's community's fishing enterprise, Pacheedaht Fishing Corporation Inc. We picked one of the whole Smoked Pink Filet and a package of the Chinook Candy. The "candy" is big fresh chunks of Chinook Salmon that has been smoked and sweetened just a tad with brown sugar. It isn't too sweet, either... just the right amount. We drove from Port Renfrew two hours over to Nanaimo for the ferry, and literally opened up the Chinook Candy and ate it right out of the bag as we drove to the ferry terminal. It was one of the best things we had on our entire BC trip, too. We knocked out the Smoked Pink Filet later, and it was equally amazing. I believe the truck stops coming at the end of summer for several months in Port Renfrew, so you can look up Seafoam Seafoods online to locate other retail outlets during off-season. If you are in "Renny" during the summer season, be sure to drop in on this spot to buy fresh seafood right from the First Nations people. Get there early, because they do sell out of the most popular items first.

They used my favorite-beer batter which was perfect. We were disappointed with the fact that the fish wasn't from the area. Our server admitted this and that there was some regulation that didn't allow them to serve local fish. I wasn't sure exactly why. I had hoped for locally caught halibut or rockfish or something. But for fish brought in from the great unknown, it was good. My husband got creative and tried the Buffalo Cauliflower and Karaage Chicken. Both of them looked a little strange to me...The Buffalo Cauliflower was overly spicy hot. He didn't finish it. He liked the chicken better. A big shout-out to Camryn, our server. She was delightful! We really enjoyed talking to her. She was very personable and friendly. You'll be lucky if she's your server! The atmosphere in the pub was very nice. The prices were very reasonable!

The salad was with ample salmon served. Salmon was a little on the dry side on the outside but still very palatable fillet in the inside.
