    Another fabulous experience at Riverside Cafe. We had the Riverside Scramble and the Eggs and Pancakes combo. We worked with the ever so joyful Cynara. She was happy, polite and very good at getting our menus, taking our orders, getting our food and all the other things that you want to have with your delicious breakfast!!! Thanks so much to Riverside Cafe for having the best staff in town. You are greatly appreciated!!!!

    Gross grey bacon

    Pros: very friendly and attentive staff Cons: found a grey piece of bacon? In my grilled Chicken salad, under the lettuce. Was this recycled from someone else's unfinished plate? I stopped eating and hoped I wouldn't get sick. Eggs in the salad were over cooked. Olives and diced tomato was mushy. The chicken actually tasted like fish...

    This place was ok. We came in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning and it was pretty quiet but our server was very nice and patient with us. We ordered margaritas to start and they were good but not great. Hubby ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo and he said it was meh..apparently the chorizo was more like traditional breakfast sausage. I ordered the country potatoes and my eggs scrambled on the side for my munchkin to eat. The potato's really didn't have much flavor at all, just crispy deep fried chunks of potato with sides of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. One extra star for our servers patience with my rambunctious 1 year old though. Besides that, nothing spectacular to write home to mom about.

    Looking forward to trying it out

    Love this place clean and fresh look not to crowded and friendly staff. The food is well priced. I got the French toast sausage and eggs and I loved it. Thanks for great meal. Keep up the great work.

    Appetizer sampler... overpriced ($18), burnt, frozen food.

    Unfortunately the other negative reviews are accurate. We've been here twice and it's just not good. If you enjoy overpriced frozen food, this place is decent; otherwise I would check out other places in town. If you do brave going here, make sure you check your receipt because they will overcharge you and add on additional fees for items that would typically be included at other places (ie marinara sauce for mozzarella sticks).

    How do they have the audacity to serve food when everything is burnt. And the steak is just tiny! A huge waste of money

    Such a good breakfast and perfect portion.

    It was my first time here. Before it was the Riverside Cafe, it was a Mexican restaurant, which was awesome. Although I've only gone there once. It was a small little cafe, the interior was simplistic and very cafe-like. "Please seat yourself" is what I love! Freedom! As soon as we sat down, we were presented with menus and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered my usual water. The menu had a lot to offer and the prices were very reasonable. I chose the spinach omelette. It came with hashbrowns and toast. Let me tell you, it was the perfect amount. You know how Denny's and IHop gives you a giant portion of the omelette and small portion of hashbrowns and toast, or whatever else you order? Well, this was the perfect portion. I was able to finish it all, feeling full and not wanting to vomit. I did enjoy this cafe, and I may come back again for breakfast.

    Patty melt was below average and was overpriced at $17.60. Maybe eating in for the view justifies the price.

Learning from my first experience, we started the line around 10:30 for 11am opening. We stood around chatting while we waited. The doors opened around 11:05 and the pleasant cashier took our orders. They made our drinks before we went to sit down. We paid easily on Venmo. We found a cozy spot inside out of the hot spring heat where we could see the chef working. The food came out in reasonable time and was super tasty. I'm so impressed with what they can do in the small kitchen! I'm looking forward to the next time I'll be in the area on a weekend to come back again.

There is a lot of outdoor seating in a yard/garden which is perfect for families and pets in the summer. They bring out your entrees, but everything else is self bussed. You prepay for everything including tip when you order. They only accept cash, check, or Venmo. I came here with a group of 4 and ordered 4 entrees along with some baked foods and coffee. THE WAIT..... It took over 1 hour for us to get our food. I would take off at least part of a point for that. I'm not sure if we were forgotten but didn't hear from the kitchen at all during this time (or after) and I had to ask about our order myself. People behind me in line had gotten their food long before. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry that day but that is a pretty long wait in my opinion for brunch. Be aware that the line to order can be long and the wait to get your food can be long.

    How I really wanted to like this place but was massively disappointed and feeling honestly scammed…read moreout of my money: This is a tourist trap and not a beloved local restaurant like I thought it would be. The cafe was very busy when we arrived and had to wait about 20 minutes for an open table out on the deck. Due to how busy it was, I had high hopes that the food was good. Unfortunately it felt more catered to the one and done tourist - take their money with over priced mediocre food that certainly did not command either aesthetics or taste. What we ordered: 1. Fried calamari $18: this was the smallest portion on an appetizer plate with three calamari rings and a handful of what appeared to be minuscule tentacle pieces heavily battered to give the dish the appearance of "more". Bland and oily - nothing really outstanding here. 2. Captain's Platter $28: this was the most expensive item on the menu. I ordered it hoping that at least quantity wise it would be satisfying. It came with one fried piece of cod, one fried piece of halibut, four fried shrimp and fries. I have never eaten more bland fries in my life. They weren't even crunchy but soggy with oil as they laid under the fried fish, which likely was hurriedly plated on the fries without letting the oil drip off. The fish was overcooked for sure - the cod was so small that I was honestly offended. The shrimp - undercooked. 3. Strawberry lemonade $5: standard, on the sour side. The only pleasant thing I have to say is that the hostess and waitress were very sweet. They were definitely understaffed and I felt badly for them so I tipped well. But I would not go back and do not recommend - unless you like to waste your vacation money on this tourist trap.
