Great view, but don't expect much else. There aren't any other options (beside the convenience store) for food in La Push - so I would imagine the owners don't feel much of a need for improvement. They've got a captive audience. I ordered fish and chips. Being from Seattle, my expectations might be high, but, come on! You're ON the water. Do you really have to use frozen fish? The pieces were tiny and so over-battered that it was gooey toward the middle. The fish was mushy. The "vegetable side"? It was literally a tablespoon of some type of stringed veggies completely sauteed to death in some sort of sauce. It looked like a mistake. Thank goodness for the salad bar. At least I filled up on lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and croutons. The next night we decided to go in to Forks for a better selection. We chose "the In Place." Lo and behold, the menu was exactly the same as the River's Edge. I asked if it was owned by the same people and got the reply, "yes, but our food and service is better." Yeah...right. read more

Lunch was great. Fish and chips were very good. Wife had some seafood salad thing, she liked it. We ordered some cheesy shrimp app. It was gross. There was watery liquid separated in it made it unsightly at best, inedible at worst. Tasted ok, but we couldn't eat it. Good place to grab a bite. Not like there are any other options around. read more

I so wanted to love this restaurant....the staff was nice and the location is stellar. The bottom line for me, however, is go for the view and don't expect a lot from the food. During dinner we were thrilled to watch dozens of water birds, eagles, and sea lions. The food was less than stellar. We ordered clam strips for appetizers; good...all ten of them. Salmon dip was really good. My son ordered kids spaghetti and couldn't eat it. Hubby ordered fish & chips and said they were okay. My daughter ordered lasagna and it looked and tasted like a Lean Cuisine. I ordered a very pricey seafood Alfredo that was horrific. The dish was almost chowder-like it was swimming in so much Alfredo. There were sauteed carrots, onions, and green pepper?? There were literally about 15 noodles and tons of great scallops that I sat and dug out so I could salvage something. Great people, great location, only place in La Push. Hope they can bring up the food quality to match the rest! read more

Whereas the food itself was very, the service was atrocious!!! Had to wait for seating while the waitress fed herself, at the front counter no less. Seated w menus, but had to walk back up front and ask for wine/beer menu. Ordered our food and the silverware that came w food was filthy, had to wait to even ask for it to be replaced. Before we even finished dinner we ordered dessert, it did not arrive for 20 minutes. After finishing dinner we tried to patiently wait for check (with people waiting for tables you would think they would want the turnover, but...) after another 20 minutes we got up and stood at the hostess counter to get our check. Our waitress passed us 4 times and did not respond when I even said "excuse me". We stood at hostess counter for 7 minutes waiting for check. I would not recommend this place to anyone!!! They have a captive client base with a nearby hotel so I guess they feel crappy service won't hurt their business. read more

The location is the best part of this restaurant. The waitperson seemed overwhelmed with 3 tables. Menu has a note that there is a 2 drink maximum and only with food. A poor vintage of white wine is $7.75 a glass. The salmon burger was ok at best and tiny for $10. Got the salmon but had to chase down the soup as it was forgotten. Wished I had let it go because the soup was so salty it could not be eaten. When asked how it was I made my complaint to no avail. Uneaten but paid for. Don't waste your money here. read more

It was kind of a strange place. The view was unique & interesting. Our window was hazy & not easy to see through. I asked our waitress if she could have some scallops added to the shrimp alfredo fettuccine & she said they won't do it (scallops were on the menu). I told her I'd pay extra & she reluctantly went to ask. 10 minutes later she returned & said they would, if I paid more....which was fine. The menu said dinners come with a potato & salad, but it didn't. The meal was a tad small, but very good. My wife had a bowl of clam chowder & it was outstanding. They don't serve beer. After our plates were taken, we waited at least 10 minutes & finally, when our waitress came nearby, i asked for our check. You'd think it would have come by then, but she said we could go to the cash register. It was just odd all the way around. read more

I really wish I could give this place zero stars, I went with a big group and both the hostess and the waitress where pissed it would be so many people and that would have to move tables serve us....you know do their job. The place was incredibly dirty and other customers told us we would be better off somewhere else. I hope no one ever has to eat here and that the entire staff gets fired read more

First off the hostess made a big deal about "setting up" our table when we wanted s booth by the window. Then when we sat down I didn't even have silverware and my glass was dirty. The waitress took her sweet rude time getting over to us to order. Finally, I ordered the "grilled" salmon and veggies and my mother (mothers day dinner btw) had "grilled" chicken. We waited 20 minutes for our food and we were so thankful Bc we were starving! My "grilled salmon" looked like it had been steamed bc of all the water pouring out and the veggies had so much butter I had to use 3 napkins to soak up the excess. Horrible! My moms chicken looked not grilled but pan fried, and also tasteless. There were no marks on our protein. I asked the waitress if it were possible to have the veggies steamed bc of all the butter and she said abruptly, No... They only sauté. Whatever. As our water glasses were empty, unfinished plates piled up we finally got our bill. I told the waitress that the chicken and salmon were not grilled and she argued, "we have a grill, that's what they grill on" muttered more back talk and walked away. I think, lastly, you as a server, should know the difference between griddled and grilled food. Also not to be so rude. This place sucks. Arrival and out. Bring your own food to cook at your cabin, it's not worth the fight. read more

Stopped here for lunch while taking a trip along the coast. It had a beautiful view of the water and wildlife and extremely nice staff. The salmon was delicious and the steamed vegetables that came with it was perfect. It's a diner so as long as you're expecting diner food, you won't be disappointed. read more

Don't do it. I wanted to like the place. We were greeted by a sign reading. "We can refuse to serve anyone" and another that read "Be nice to our staff". Maybe tourists are that nasty. But I'm not. It felt like a threat. The atmosphere was very old so it's hard to make that look clean. The windows onto the "view" were very dirty. Those can and should be clean. The salmon was pretty good. But a little undercooked. The vegatables were mushy and from a bag (frozen). The potatoe was very over done. I did not get sick, so it could have been worse. The waitress was shocked that I liked the salmon. Why? Was I supposed to hate it? I grew up in a small town. I'm familiar with the environment. So it was not culture shock. There was no love or pride in that place. read more

Wife and I both had salads. I had the seafood salad with shrimp and crab. Even service throughout our time. We had the fried bread for dessert. Pretty oily, could see where it could be good. Enjoyed our time there! read more

River's Edge Restaurant - Seafood salad - Seafood Near Me - La Push, Washington

Dinner on July 26, 2015 Great: the view of the sea stacks through the floor to ceiling windows. Mediocre: food. Terrible: service. We chose River's Edge based on our innkeeper's recommendation. It was quite disappointing, especially the really slow service. I'm sensitive to those whose depend heavily on tips to make a living but this was one occasion when I was tempted to leave zero tip. I didn't, but it crossed my mind. The women's restroom was out of toilet paper. My wife notified an employee and the only response was "Ok". Not sure if/when it was ever corrected. We are unlikely to ever be in the area again, but we would not return to River's Edge under any conditions. read more

This place is a MUST when visiting La Push/Second Beach. Enjoy versatile, delicious meals (all while being amongst the friendly and welcoming Quileute Reservation)! Best of all, as you eat with stunning views of the water, seal pups bark within view AND if you're lucky, you'll spot a bald eagle(s)! Highly recommended! read more

This place was a great find and offer views of the sunset and a surprise visit from an otter family. After a long day of hiking, I was ready for an affordable hearty meal and River's Edge was just the spot I was looking for. I was able to enjoy a cheap meal that was well prepared. All the while, I was also treated to great views of the sunset. read more

River's Edge Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - La Push, Washington

Wow, anyone who gives this place less than 5 stars is crazy. I'm not local but found this place after staying at cabins near by. Food is so good! Fish and chips are meaty, light, and flaky. Club is very flavorful, and the battered onion rings are great. I was very impressed. And of course the view is amazing! read more

River's Edge Restaurant - View from our table. - Seafood Near Me - La Push, Washington

I had the bagel with smoked salmon. It was the best thing that I ate while staying in the area (based in Forks, WA), and we wished that we had come here for more meals! It was a very satisfying breakfast. On top of that, sitting and watching the boats go by alongside a bald eagle, seal, otter, and several other bird species, it really set the tone for our enjoyment of the area for the rest of the day. The waitress that helped us was very attentive and kind. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping... more than once if you are in the area. read more

River's Edge Restaurant - What. A. View.... so peaceful. - Seafood Near Me - La Push, Washington

I definitely would not recommend anyone go here unless you want to wait 2 hours after you order for your food to arrive. The food is definitely not worth the long wait and the staff was very inattentive. We also waited 45 minutes for someone to bring us waters. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

My family and I visited this restaurant on 4/28/18. I ordered the Reuben and my wife ordered the Turkey Club sandwich. My sandwich was alright but definitely not worth the price. The sandwich my wife had was very dry and the bacon looked like it was cooked days ago. The server seemed to be wondering around not doing anything after we asked her for a few things and our check. The only plus was the amazing view. read more

We had a long walk on Rialto Beach in the rain this morning. Got to the restaurant around 1pm. I am so glad we decided on going here! We got the bay shrimp dip as a starter, it was delicious! My girls had potato cheese soup and loved it (very picky eaters). Hubby tried the clam chowder, of which I had a bite, it was yummy but needed a little salt. I ordered the salmon fettuccine, and again, I'm so glad I did. The salmon was cut into chunks and sauteed prior to being added with some zuchini, onion and bell pepper, it was some of the freshest salmon I've ever eaten in a restaurant, and had beautiful bright red-orange color. The dish again needed some salt, but was so delicious! We definitely plan to come here again. read more

Very cool Boat house converted to restaurant. The place looks fantastic and the view is incredible but unfortunately thats all it has to offer. Lack luster service and flavor less food was all that came after the initial awe. The only bright spot was the Clam chowder which Ive had all over this country and it was good. Not alot of options around so it was better than nothing.... I guess. read more

Awesome seafood dinner for the whole family! Definitely go during less busy hours as staffing seemed light in the front and back of the house. I'd do it again! :-) read more

One the few places to eat in La Push. I had the surf and turf which was good. Prices are very reasonable here. This place reminds me of a run down Sherri's except it sits on a old semi rotted boat launch. The atmosphere is so so. The server were friendly. If your in La Push and hungry stop by and grab some food here. read more

Good spot if you're near the beaches. Beautiful view, food was pretty good. Service was a little slow but everyone was very nice!

Friendly staff, unbelievable views, solid lunch fare. We split the big ol bowl of hearty clam chowder. Got the crab and shrimp grilled cheese sandwich with a side salad and split those, too. It's really the way to go. The sandwich is SO rich that you'd be miserable if you ate it all by yourself. We enjoyed our waitress, Robyn, very much. If there's anything they could improve upon, we wish they had more and better dessert offerings. We had just come over from Forks after having stopped at Thriftway and their deli had great pies and cakes. Even if they just had those, it would be a beautiful setting to have a coffee and pie some time. read more

Great breakfast and excellent service. The views and atmosphere are fabulous. It was Especially nice since we were camping (at Mora CG).

Very disappointed in our food. Ordered the Seafood Salad. Crab, shrimp and smoked salmon. The crab was partially still frozen and resembled dry grass, the shrimp was the tiny little baby ones....neither were fresh as you would expect from a restaurant in La Push. The smoked salmon was good but that's all that was good. . Can't recommend this place. read more

It had a limited menu and it was on the bay. Decent atmosphere inside with decent view of the warer. It had limited menu. We got scallops salmon and bay shrimp dip. The shrimp dip was ok nothing special with a lot of garlic. It looked like little shrimps. It didn't taste like shfikpm. High quality scallops cooked perfectly. Fish cooked well but flavor lacking. Dried up potato and brocolini was inedible. Based on limited options in area it's worth a try to stop by. Service was good and very prompt very friendly. Commend the people there but the food just lacked flavor. read more

Man, I want to like this place, but.... The location's great. The view is terrific. The food's fine, three stars most of the time. They'll overcook your omelet, but nearly everyone does--it stops those complaints that "My eggs are runny." They also overcooked my scallops, which were tasty but well-done all the way through (they're supposed to be seared on the outside, nearly raw on the inside). Six nickel-to-quarter sized scallops, by the way, with a few asparagus spears and a dollop of mashed potatoes, came to $23.95. The menu looks good; the execution lags, but it's OK. The service, though... If you don't have about an hour and a half to spare, drive in to Forks to eat. We had three meals here, with three different wait staffs, and NOBODY knew what they were doing. They didn't know the menu, confused orders, forgot items, then on one occasion the waitress simply vanished. We waited nearly 20 minutes. I finally went to the cashier and said we had to get going--and nobody knew where our waitress or our check were. She eventually appeared, without an explanation, and we escaped. With some attention to detail this place could be so good, but it just isn't. read more

Not many options in La Push, but we enjoyed ourselves! The place wasn't spotless by any means, but we started with clam chowder which was good. Salads were fresh and tasty. Crab and shrimp sandwich was buttery but good. Sautéed chicken with pesto sauce was also nice, maybe slightly oily. Shrimp basket was typical bar food... Not bad at all. Dessert was a highlight! We asked for the blackberry pie a la mode and were alerted that there was no vanilla ice cream, only huckleberry. Well what a sarcastic shaaaame! It was amazing!! The pie was standard. The real treat was the "king size" Indian fry bread with butter, honey, ice cream and whipped cream. Very good! Service was nice. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I was in La Push, as the Forks options aren't anything out of this world either! read more

This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I drive around the Olympic National Forest and explored multiple areas! We encountered many places that were less then desirable but this place was amazing! We were so happy to get a good meal at this local restaurant. We shared claim chowder. And then we my Bf had a turkey melt and I had fettuccini alfredo. We both ordered things not really on the menu. Everything was fresh and cooked on site. read more

***This review is based on service alone as we did not end up eating here.*** We walked in to the restaurant and after almost 10 minutes no one acknowledged us, although there was a server stranding at the register right beside us. She seemed put off when we inquired if we should seat ourselves or wait. So we snagged an open table as there were a few. After another 5 minutes of no one approaching our table we were considering leaving. We made that decision when 2 apparently local folks came in and were immediately greeted by first name and the server told them that they would "clean a table for you guys". I'm sure the staff and food are great, however our experience wasn't the best and we were bummed we didn't get to try the salmon sandwich. read more

Super tasty and great view! I ordered Salmon burger with fries. The fries were just how I like- crunchy on the outside and soft inside! Salmon was also delicious! read more

River's Edge Restaurant - Best fries and burger ever!!!! So good I can't get over it! - Seafood Near Me - La Push, Washington

See all

Neat venue. Make sure to get a window seat so you can look out over the water. You can watch seals playing in the water. Also have a good view of the boats at dock. Came.for breakfast so your typical chocies. You can get smoked salmon and shrimp choices. read more

Stopped here for breakfast and were so happy that we did. The people were friendly, the view was awesome. and food was great! We got a veggie omelette, the salmon hash, and a pancake. The portions were very generous and we left full and satisfied. Would revisit if we are ever in the area again!! read more

The restaurant in La Push. Great local fish, great local service, great locals. We go to this place each visit to the area, whether staying in the Ocean Crest cabins or at the Mora campground. Fantastic view off the pier to the mouth of the Quileute River, James Island & Little James Island; frequent sightings of eagles, pelicans & other birds, with the occasional otter or seal in between the small local fishing boats coming & going. Dinner always has an excellent freshly caught fish entree; lunch includes a broiled salmon topped salad. Go for breakfast and try the fish hash! read more

Loved this restaurant. We went mid-october on off-season so we were the only people in the restaurant! Great views and good food. My daughter got the beef stew would she finished in 3 minutes flat LOL read more

Came here for a quick bite, did not look at anything other than the appetizers. Like others have said, the view is great, food not so much. We ordered the clam chowder and it came out immediately. It tasted a little better than canned chowder. Do not order the bay shrimp dip. It came out extremely watery and basically tastes like cheesy garlic dip. read more

One star is for the view. That is the only thing this place has. They so miss the mark on so many levels. They don't even serve fresh fish caught localy nor any of the specal items of the area. The place is not all that clean and not all that inviting. . Like I said gret view. The food was beyond bad. read more

We were here in early October, so had no problem getting prompt service. I had the clam chowder, which was excellent - thick and full of clams. My husband had the BLT which came with asiago flecked fries. The BLT was perfectly done with lots of smoked bacon and the fries were crispy and delicious. The restaurant is located right on the water, with views to die for. Frankly, we had a great dining experience, leaving me to wonder what the bad reviews are all about. Maybe people just trying to show that they're restaurant critics?? We're from Portland and eat out often. If we lived here, we'd come weekly. read more

Hands down, the nicest restaurant in the area. If you enjoy quality food, eat here. The setting was industrial - hip, the menu was creative and our server was good. We liked it. read more
