I've been there a few times and the service just never gets any better. I walked up and said I wanted to sit outside. The hostess said it's going to be about 15 minutes to get seated because we are slammed. I said, are you joking I just walked past the outdoor dining area and there are about 50 tables that are empty. She got all snippy and the wife said let's just sit at the bar and wait. Went to the bar which was actually empty so we ordered there. Got done with dinner and the snippy hostess lady calls my cell and says we can sit at one of the 50 empty tables. So I said ok thanks, paid the bill and left. Oh and I've had better pulled pork off a truck. Cool place though if your looking for bikers and maybe score some meth. read more

I do like this place. Random location outside Jim Thorpe. But great food...Bbq is damn good. Don't get corn....not worth it! We thought was on cob but just a small dish of corn...weird and nothing special at all...only regret. Wish we did get a table at the back though as over looks a stream. Nice little 30 second walk down to it too. Played corn hole afterwards round the back...fun. A little bit of a biker bar but very friendly. Recommended and will be back. Unsure why this place didn't get better reviews. read more

Great outdoor atmosphere. Good food and music. The time I was there they did not have wait service and had to go to bar to order. I'm assuming it was due to work shortages. read more

Nope! This is a place only to drive your bike and be seen in your Harley gear. Food is mediocre at best. Atmosphere is a great idea but seats are not comfortable and due to Covid or lack of staff or whatever their reason, you have to order yourself. If I want warm beer in a solo cup I'll stay home. read more

Id give it about a 2.5 / 5 Stars (edited jan 2015) Good things: pretty nice place. outside deck is nice when weather is good enough and fire pits during the fall are something nice as well. theres really no other place like it nearby for sure. the staff (mainly the bartenders [dana, megan, kala, liz, pj]) are conversational and usually get ur drinks pretty quick. the french fries and THE CAROLINA SAUCE IS GREAT. The above end up being the best things about this place. chicken and quesadillas are good. the burgers ive tried and wings are pretty decent. also has shuffle board and 2 pool tables downstairs and a nice backbar. Bad things: The place seems to be run by a worrisome owner who is nitpicking about every little thing and will eventually get hurt bigger by them. for instance the prices for most items are quite high for the area and it is not backed by high quality. Some of the other staff isnt so great/are drama centered (just small town/high school mentality) and hurt the good staff and restaurant. The restaurant has an identity complex with the biker bar, hip-hop music, possible dance bar to be built (as of jan 2015 there's no update on this). The food cam be very hit or miss, the bbq is slightly better for most things but also has a few crappy offerings . the steak and chicken tacos from their taco night tasted exactly the same. read more

This place is fun to hang out, great ambiance, but the food I had was horrible! I ordered the mild smoked wings. They were raw inside and really tough, definitely not smoked and the sauce lacked flavor. Next I ordered the pulled brisket riverwalck tacos with coleslaw. The tortillas were refrigerator cold and the meat was not pulled, it was sliced and had no flavor at all. And I ask how can you mess up coleslaw? They did, again no flavor, just raw cabbage. I have to say the service was great, attentive wait staff and great bartenders. If you're just going for drinks and fun it's a great place. I will definitely be back to hang out, but I won't be ordering food. read more

I said I wouldn't go back but I went back. Seduced by a nice day and the chance to sit by the creek, near a fire pit, with a beer. It was really relaxing. Then we decided to go inside and get a table to eat. My previous comments about the service stands. It's not the best. We were ignored for a while. Very frustrating! The menu had changed since last year. I didn't see the offensive brisket anymore. I ordered a pork sandwich with Carolina sauce and pickles on top, accompanied by fresh made chips. It was delicious. My companions' food was great too. Comeback story. Just get the service more coordinated, please. read more

Great place to venture out on the bike in the summer! You can sit outside which is nice. The food is good, nothing special ... But it tastes good and the portions they give you are huge. Staff and service is good! Will definitely be back when we are on the bike in that area! read more

Very cool atmosphere/vibe and venue. Extremely disappointed by service (EXTREMELY slow. We were there for more than two hours for a taco salad, Caesar salad and drinks. Waited more than 45 minutes for our food to arrive. Again. Basic salads.) Food was ok but nothing spectacular. Serving sizes were a tad small for the price. Not local, but would return again for drinks and atmosphere. Great place just to hang out. read more

I ordered a brisket sandwich and it had a quarter size mold covering on the bun. When I returned the sandwich they told me they would make me a new one and bring it to me. After two hours and no sandwich I tried to close out. They tried to charge me for the moldy sandwich, and when I told them they never replaced it, they didn't do anything to compensate the fact that they almost fed me a moldy sandwich and didn't ever replace my order. Please check every inch of your order before you put it in your mouth if you eat here. read more

Intriguing place to say the least. Confusing as a first timer. No beer list but got a properly poured Guinness draft. Smoked wings were a revelation! Deep smoke, tender and NOT swimming in sauce! I ordered the Wedge salad which was crisp , fresh & enough for 2 people. Great value at $9! The topper was "The Porker" sandwich. Quality 12" roll with a properly grilled garlicky kielbasa topped with good tender house smoked pulled pork and slaw, Bummed that I had to ask for the sauce caddy but when it arrived it had their own Carolina White style BBQ sauce which was perfect on my "Porker". They get a star just for having that sauce which as a chef for over 30 years I've never seen in this part of PA. Quirky place that's fun and the food is a cut above! read more

The place is nice but the hot wings were burnt on the outside, undercooked on the inside. Way overpriced, will never eat here again!

In the Poconos and we were looking for a fun place to hang- this is it! The view is absolutely amazing! The ambiance is perfect! There's plenty of room for large groups. I didn't give 5 stars because they aren't gluten- free friendly. The fries are amazing, but I'm not sure they are gluten free. I would definitely return, especially if they add some gluten free items on the menu!!! read more

Great outdoor seating, friendly staff, tasty comfort food. The smoked wings were addictive. read more

Riverwalck Saloon - Barbeque Near Me - Parryville, Pennsylvania

Solid entrees, good service, plenty of parking, and a really unique and funky (fun) decor - what more can you ask for? One of the most fun places to grab a meal for miles. Order the wings and gumbo and, especially any of the smoked meats. They use a real smoker out back! read more

See all

I love the insane cheese dip and the cheesesteaks!! Perfect place to go when the weather is nice out and you can sit outside. Staff is usually super friendly and the prices are reasonable. I would also HIGHLY recommend the salads and wings! read more

Service is always an issue here. You'll wait and wait and wait. Food is ok if you don't get cute: Wings and sandwiches are fine. Don't go to a smokehouse and expect a gourmet salad! It's a solid place for a beer, some bar food, and a great deck experience. Take it for what it is and you can have a good meal and a great time! read more

Last night my friends and I went to Riverwalck to celebrate a friends birthday. Our party was a group of 18 people. We called ahead and they offered to seat us all at a table in the bottom portion of the restaurant to ensure that we could all sit together. We had an amazing time! The food and service were very high quality. In the bottom portion of the restaurant, there were two pool tables, a shuffle board table, a "pit" with chairs that you could sit outside, and a table large enough to fit 18 people. Our server was very patient and concise with our orders. She was friendly and attentive. The food came out in a very timely manner, and was delicious. Highly recommended are the fajitas, pulled pork sandwiches, wings, and the Carolina sauce! We ordered multiple rounds of drinks, appetizers and entrees and our bill was very reasonable! With a group this big it usually ends in disaster but we were all happily surprised and couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable evening. read more

Nice setting next to a stream/river but plenty of road noise. Food was fair but not great. Service was lacking. We were expecting a better situation. Bees/yellow jackets were after our beer and food, so has to move closer to the bar. I guess they are getting business from their location but we won't be back. Frustrating. read more

Let me first say we didn't order a meal, so this high rating only attests to the excellent homemade guacamole and chips, service, and atmosphere. Really cool setting and we'll be back. read more

Kids Mac and cheese was out of the box, dry and cold. Got 2 pork sammies and the rolls were wet and soggy. Pork had no taste. Potatoes salad was very salty. Very disappointed and very pricey meal. read more

I have been to the Riverwalck a few times now, and frankly I am still not that impressed. My boyfriend loves Mexican food, so we usually end up here if we don't feel like driving to Allentown. The first time I was there I got a burger, and I do have to say that was good. The next time we went with a large group of people, and we all shared the nachos with pork. The pork tasted like it was sitting in a pot all day. Then the next time we went, I'd say about a month ago I had the beer battered fish it was decent. So it's basically a hit or miss. Though I did enjoy sitting outside on the deck (which is way better than sitting in the dark basement) and I do enjoy the different sauces, I would only recommend this place if your will to take chances. I am sure I will end up there soon again, but I think I will just still to the burgers, or fish. read more

Not sure where some of these negative reviews came from, I personally have eaten there several times and the food has always be fantastic, I love the Southwest Philly Cheesesteak, and the pulled pork are brisket have been great as well. Im looking forward to going back read more

So disappointed. What a disaster. Food took nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes to come out. The order was wrong, the check was wrong. It just was a bad experience. Been there before but it's definitely gotten worse. Way under staffed. Probably won't go back after this. What a shame. read more

Cool place for a beer and conversation. Coming back from shopping for a bite and a beer and was impressed. Veggie burger (Beyond meat) AWESOME! It was grilled perfectly and my wife had the shrimp Caesar salad. Very happy! Also had side of Cole slaw which was very good! Not sure if others had bad experiences, based off of previous reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our visit. read more

My favorite place to visit! Food and service is always awesome! My favorites are the ring of fire wings and nachos with pulled pork. I never had the meatloaf; however, my friend said it was better than his grandmas! read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! I've been coming here for years. Every time I go to see my dad I always end up here, and I make it a point to bring my friends there as well from ny. It's just a cool place. I love the fire pit outside in the summer. It gets realllllly busy in the summer even with the large amount of seating the have inside and out. The food there is SO delicious. The gumbo, the nachos, the loaded cheese fries, the quesadillas! Every time I'm there not only do I love the food but it's just a fun atmosphere. read more

Cool bbq, biker-esque bar/restaurant. Good food, great outdoor bar/patio. The wait staff always seems to be swamped and the food takes long to arrive, but, the food is worth the wait. Delicious burgers, wings, salads, and appetizers. read more

I LOVE Riverwalk! Ever since moving to Parryville, my boyfriend and I have been regulars. The staff is awesome, the food is great, and the drinks are bomb! Definitely stop by when you get a chance! I must've had a funky experience a few years ago when I wrote my first review, but my opinion had totally changed. Riverwalk is our home away from home! read more

Great building...decent service, only reason I gave it two stars. Too bad the food is absolutely void of any flavor. It's a Tex Mex Saloon. Obviously they have never been to Texas or Mexico. Or Texico. Lol. read more

They need to get their act together. Great location but I've be sitting here without any clue as to where my waitress is for a good 20 minutes. Beer and drink revenue lost. Also, no craft beers on tap if that is what you're looking for. They need help with the service, basic stuff like making sure you check on tables and make sure they have drinks snd utensils. Really disappointed. read more

My husband and I have been going to Riverwalck for the last 6 years. There is absolutely nothing more enjoyable after a long work week than sitting and having a couple of drinks either inside or outside at Riverwalck. The ambiance can't be beat! The owner has done a marvelous job setting the stage for patrons to enjoy the beautiful setting and he has clearly put money back into the restaurant to present an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere! It's a special place but it could be so much more and quite frankly it's just frustrating! Why do we keep going back? We go back because we hope that this will be the time; things have changed. Every review on Yelp regarding Riverwalck has made the same observation. The food! At the end of the day - you can't stay alive without food right? Why is it such a difficult concept. Hire a cook or cooks that are paid well and are invested in your vision and treat them well so they stay and don't call out or quit! Someone with creativity and a desire to bring new business. There is constant employee turnover. To us it only means one thing; unhappiness. Riverwalck is such a great place to have a few drinks; just hang and enjoy. The mixed drinks - in our opinion are weak......not a good pour! You're better off drinking beer. Riverwalck has so much potential, but we don't believe has an owner that is really willing or able to make the necessary kitchen staff changes to make this place an amazing Pocono destination! read more

Upon arrival we were informed that there was an hour wait because the kitchen was backed up. The place was not at all packed. Still we waited an hour. We finally sat and no one came to our table. I had to go seek out a server. Finally after a good while a server appeared. When we ordered they were out of 2 of the meals we ordered so we had to settle. Terrible service. Nice location though. With proper management this place could be legendary. But it seems they are going to run it into the ground. read more
