We found this fly in the middle of the red pepper. No comp, no real apology, they said things like that happen. This came after us finding a Hair in our wings a while back so we decided to give them another try. Never coming back here again #Gross read more

Riverside Pizza & Pub - Found this fly in the middle of the red pepper shaker. Definitely not coming back. - Pizza Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

Everything we've tried since they opened has been fantastic! Well, except once we got a burger, it was your generic frozen patty with lots of black pepper. Not at all consistent with the very fresh food we'd got from here previously. Seriously their roast beef is 2nd to none! And their pizza! Goodness, it brings back memories of the pizzeria we grew up with in another state. The crust is actually crispy, no matter how much you add to it! We were blessed with our grandsons visiting and they requested pizza, made us happy! I have several strange food allergies, one of them being bell peppers, makes me sicker than a dog! Instead of green olives they gave us green peppers, an honest mistake. They were so amazing about it, they remade our pizza, and credited our account! Oh, their Italian Beef! Not exaggerating when I describe it as "Melt in your mouth"! Give them a try! read more

As usual, cannot say enough about the pot roast sandwich... it is five stars every time. Pizza is great, but try the pot roast sandwich!!!!

Clean, exciting atmosphere. LOUD & difficult to carry on a conversation. Go there to EAT & watch TV. Well stocked bar. Friendly waitresses. Pizza is above average. 2nd visit on Saturday afternoon: WESTERN pizza was very good. Service sucked - SLOW! read more

Tried the Chicago deep dish here. Did not like it, but thought we'd give it a second chance. Had the bbq chicken pizza added bacon to it and it was so awesome. One of the better bbq chicken pizzas I've ever had. Trying a regular sauce pizza next time. This place is a fairly new arrival but definitely a place my family will be ordering from again and again. read more

We have been to this place e few times - always a great crowd (I am happy to see when new businesses do well) - we have always sat at the bar and have had great service. The food was awesome - we have had the sriracha shrimp (yum); homemade wings; meatball sandwich; the Riverside salad - all very good. We also have ordered pizza for pick up a handful of times. The first couple of times the pizza was amazing. The last time - something was different. It definitely had way too much cheese and maybe a different kind of cheese. We are going to skip pizzas for awhile but will def try other things on the menu. Can't wait to go back in when they open - its very cute, clean and fun. read more

AWESOME pizza and service! I'm a plant based eater and they did not short me on veggie toppings! Delicious crust and sauce, too. My husband and brother in law ordered a stuffed pizza and they agreed it's the best pizza in the area. All the food being served around looked really good and the pretzels are HUGE! We are excited to keep going over the summer. read more

I have been here three times in last two weeks and ten times in last 3 months. Why do I go back? totally mismanaged. Not sure if ownership is on premises or not. It takes forever to get a drink, as well as your bill, etc. Female bartenders suck! They spend more time gossiping with other employees than attending to customers at the bar. Apparently, there is higher preference in giving and doing free shots with friends/boyfriends who are playing pool than paying customers. ownership needs to address some issues. read more

Was meeting people there at midnight to celebrate a 21st birthday and we were told he would need 2 photo IDs. Who has 2 photo IDs on them. So we left and went down the road. Don't waste your time with a place that doesn't want your business. read more

I'll have to wait to cast a vote on this one. I arrived a few minutes after 6 on a Tuesday night and the place was pretty full. All three employees at the host stand were busy in a conversation with one gentleman. After 4 or 5 minutes of not being acknowledged by one of the three, and my doubts as to whether I'd get seated anywhere but the bar (not my choice for dining) I got back in my car and went elsewhere. The place is relatively new. They will probably resolve service issues sooner or later. read more

My wife wanted to give this place a try and I was a little reluctant. I was pleasantly surprised, the food and service was great!! My wife loves the pizza and I really enjoy the italian beef. The cocktails are delicious. We have found our new go to place in Batavia. read more

No AC, as the other reviews stated. The water was the worst I've ever had at a restaurant, had a bitter taste to it. We never ordered food as the server never came back to take our order after 15 minutes. We just left because we weren't waiting any longer. It was 2:00 on Sunday, not busy at all. No excuse. read more

I am unfortunately "one of those" gluten free people now. And I just finished a gluten free pizza from this place. I gotta say, it might be the best ones I've ever had. Probably THE best. Of course, I was also very hangry. So maybe take that into account. But if you are gluten free and miss good pizza, I would highly recommend. read more

Ok place for pizza and beer. Their wings are outstandingly good, but the the service is iffy. They have great servers and bartenders, and they have some that are awful. It's a nice enough place I risk being disappointed by the service. read more

Food can be decent but the staff is Rude and the food on the menu is never available. I used to enjoy this place thoroughly but the last few visits have been terrible read more

Been eating here way too long 2x a week for like 2 years its convenient but now I'm done. I've had too many less than desirable meals in the course. $7 Bowl of soup served cold because it 5 oz of soup in a shallow bowl I bet cup serving is bigger, Pizza only descent the day it's ordered and not the next day makes awful leftovers. Chicken wings are always hit or miss mostly a miss and well the burgers McDonald's have more flavor half price Monday was too much to pay I Ordered a garden salad who messes that up???? Well they can... it was surly from LAST WEEK lettuce was soggy and Wilted mind you this was a first salads are usually great just not on a Monday when fresh produce order isn't in yet I can't imagine you served a customer that and always slow to get the bill. Very disappointed in service and now food. This place is poorly run miss managed, and food is inconsistent with high turnover in employees too. Wont return Batavia has better places to eat then here. read more

The pizza in other food options here are very good and I believe the owner owns 2 other pizza places in in around the Fox Valley area. This pizza bar is located in a strip mall off a Main Street in is another welcome unique addition to this great river town 50 miles West of Chicago. The staff was very attentive and this place look just as good as Buffalo Wild Wings if not better. read more

The scenery in this establishment is unmatched. The waiter we got was also chill asf. Everyone here welcomed me with open arms, they where so kind. HALF OFF BURGERS!!!!! BOOM!!!! The burgers were fantastic and only $7! This is an insane experience I would rate it higher than 5 stars if I could! read more

Went to Riverside pizza in Batavia tonight and the pizza Was delicious. We had the Deluxe thin crust and it was Very tasty. Also had a Great server and hostess Anna Was super sweet . We will be back for sure . read more

Wow the pizza was incredible this evening. We asked for it well done and it was. Fast delivery and super friendly driver. Great cheese and toppings. So refreshing to have a quality pizza delivered. This is our go to pizza now. Ordered the mushrooms as well and it was a very generous portion for the money. Quality great to see read more

Took a weekend drive to try out this new restaurant and loved it! Great set up with TVs and the bar and decor was cool. Service was great. Sriracha shrimp was our favorite. I could drink the sauce they're in. We will go back. read more

Went on 7/5/19 for the first time, wanted to try their pizza and check the place out. As stated, the AC still had not been fixed but the industrial sized ceiling fans were cranked up to max so it wasn't bad. (Our server said the AC will be fixed by that weekend, 7/6 or so but I don't know for sure) We got seated right away, arrived at 5:15 on a Friday and the place was almost packed. Service was spot on! Drinks were delivered promptly and they had a young lady coming around often to fill peoples water glasses due to the warm temps. We ordered the Appetizer Sampler and were rather disappointed in its lack of items. Thought we'd get a whole bunch of different things to try but that wasn't the case, a couple of this and that. It only came with one sauce, which was tasty but a side of ranch dressing would have been nice to dip the mushrooms into. We ordered a 16" sausage/mushroom pizza which arrived in a very timely manner given the amount of people inside. Pizza was "ok", not a "wow" but ok. Sausage had a nice spice and the mushrooms appeared fresh but the sauce was lacking flavor and spice. Cannot complain about the promptness of the staff, like I said they were great! We will return to try other things but for delivery or carry out pizza, Charlie Foxes and Maciano's will get our business first. read more

I've been to this new resturant and pub with my wife 2 times and we both love the place. Last night we were served by Hannah W and she was RIGHT ON! The pineapple upside down martinis was fantastic. The menu is what You would expect at a pub. The atmosphere is fresh. You can tell the entire staff is properly trained. Our meals were properly prepared and tasted great. Everyone should check this establishment out for themselves. read more

Be aware this restaurant does not follow recommended Coronavirus recommendations! Indoor tables are spaced out. Our server was the only server wearing a mask. At the bar was a group of 8 men, shoulder to shoulder, no masks. What was worse was the 2 bartenders wore no masks! 3 men left that group. As we left we found those 3 standing directly outside the bar, in the midst of outdoor diners, smoking cigarettes, needless to say maskless. Serving staff was coming on duty. 8 servers stood at the end of the bar chatting with no mask. I saw no one sanitizing tables. Absolutely no management in place. Really too bad as this is a fun place with good eats. read more

We've been here several times and have not been disappointed. The pizza is delish and the service is attentive. We didn't wait long for our pizza and the place was packed! read more

We came in and were a party of six. Our waitress, Eleanor, was very dismissive and rude. It took over an hour for our food to come out, and although I understand it was busy, three other tables received their food AND left before we got our food. On top of that, she checked up on us maybe four times, never came back with items we had asked for, & was rude when taking our checks. I would only give one star but there were several other servers that were nice enough to get us our missing items. read more

If you are serious about Covid, this is the last place to go. No one working the bar wears a mask. Customers at the bar are in very close proximity, without masks too. Should be closed down due to not following the state mandates read more

This is a great addition to downtown Batavia! Cool atmosphere and delicious pizza and drinks! I hope to be back soon to try other food from their menu. read more

Ignore the first couple of poor reviews right when riverside opened! It's called ironing out the kinks people :) Riverside is what Batavia needed. Such a fun atmosphere day or night. Drinks on par (get a mule!) and pizza extra crispy :) Definitely a great spot to meet up with family or friends! Try it out - for sure! read more

This is one of the best pizza places in the area. Every item we've ordered has been delicious. The portion sizes are above average. Our family eats there at least once a week. We had a problem once with food arriving at separate times the pizza came first followed by a salad, then wings and finally a pasta dish. Those of us eating pizza were done eating and we ended up taking the wings & pasta to go. Management was very accommodating and adjusted our tab. We will not be discouraged & highly recommend. The food is that good we will keep going back. read more

We are so happy that we stumbled upon this place. The food is excellent, the service is great and the bartenders know how to make an idk fashioned. This is our go to bbn spot for pizza and Italian beef in Batavia. read more

I am a die hard football fan. 1 guy was so offended by my excitement and I went over to apologize and the kid started crying, if you like a Chuck E. Cheese Buffalo Wild Wings this is your place. Any adult over 21 should hide his emotions if his team scores a touchdown. Pizza is pretty good so 3 stars read more

One of the Best in Batavia. Ordered take out a few time during this "time", just as good. On point every time. Miss going for Happy Hour. Will be back as soon as allowed. read more

The French onion soup was the only thing I could eat on the menu. It tasted like water with tons of black pepper thrown in and a few onion bits. Would never come back. Service was also horrible. read more

This is my go to place! Love the food and atmosphere. The waitstaff is amazing and the food and drinks are delicious.

I think they owe me stars. The AC was clearly not on tonight it was about 85 degrees inside. Told us it was 20 min wait for a table- in reality we waited 55 minutes- then another hour for food. Totally ideal with a toddler. No one apologized or owned the mishaps. We will go else where for pizza next time. read more

I went with my parents to this restaurant for lunch and we had an incredible time. It was our first time coming and we will definitely be back. Everything was made fresh and delicious. We had a variety of things from the menu such as riverside pasta, the grilled chicken sandwich, and a make your own pizza. We had plenty to bring home to enjoy later all at a great price! read more

In on a Tuesday evening with a party of 6. Initially told there was about a 30 minute wait. 30 minutes became 60 minutes with no end or promise of a table. At the 45 minute time we told the hostess we would settle for 2 tables next to each other and yet they seated parties of 2-4 in tables preventing the opportunity to keep 2 tables open for us. We watched many people walk through the door and be seated as we were the only group still waiting for a table after an hour. As we had been waiting an hour, saw no effort to try and find a way to seat us, yes a party of 6 is large, but not that large. After about an hour and 10 minutes we told hostess we were leaving and would not wait any longer. All we received was a "have a good night", no sorry for the wait, let us give you a coupon for next time or have a seat at the bar and we will bring you an appetizer while we find a way to get you a table. Went down the road and we were seated right away at another local restaurant. Bye, bye Riverside, maybe we'll try you again in a couple years when you get your seating act together. read more

Have been to this restaurant 3 times now and its getting progressively worse. Food takes a looooong time. Servers and other employees tend to congregate in one area in the back of the restaurant. It's sad when you have to hold your empty glass up and wave it in the air to get another. No management on the floor and they need it. Food was good but they really need to add more flavors for the chicken wings. 3 times and this place struck out. read more

The service staff is clueless. Not handicaps accessible or friendly. They are clueless because they ask person in wheelchair if they could sit at a high top table. My friend is a good sport and said only if you can lift me. I was embarrassed. No way to treat a veteran. And lack of planning all low top tables taken by all the abled body people. read more
