Warm, cozy, intimate, memorable. The experience starts with welcoming service and an inside peek into the kitchen before your party is even seated. There are SO MANY good options on the menu that it's hard not to appetizer surf. We decided on the French onion soup, crab cakes with a dilly sauce, toast points with goat cheese and honey, and clams with a buttery-savory bisque-like sauce and more slices of baguette to mop up the clam sauce. Amazing! Our server Lauren took good care of us and we had a fantastic time! As we were leaving, we saw the head chef come out to greet some guests. It made this place seem much more community-driven and special. I look forward to going back soon :) read more

Went there on a Saturday evening around 6pm the front desk said it would be 20-30 minutes. We waited 30 minutes then drove to another restaurant got sat down and had an appetizer and no one still called. I can understand a wait especially on a weekend but over 50 minutes and still no call ridiculous. read more

We really enjoyed Rodgers. We stopped in for a late lunch and it turned into an early dinner. Cozy and warm atmosphere, really great service by staff that are clearly happy where they work, and great food and drinks. I look forward to coming back to try more of their menu, and unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the food, but I can heartily recommend this place anytime you're on Main Street in Snohomish. read more

Excellent food. Very personable staff. Roger is a talented, hands-on owner and chef. Great outdoor patio.

On a busy Friday evening, we took our chances and arrived at 5:30 PM, managing to secure what appeared to be the last open table for two. My advice? Book a reservation to be safe. Our experience was elevated by the fantastic service; our host was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well looked after all evening. We started with a non-alcoholic drink from the bartender (a little sugary for my taste, but might suit others well). My dining partner and I shared a few plates. The Pork Milanese, while a little salty on its own, was delicious with the gravy and was served with some truly amazing mashed potatoes. Roger's Homemade Pasta with Shrimp was another winning dish. The only sour note was the Rotating Fruit Crisp, which we found had a gritty texture that didn't work for us. But don't let that deter you--we had a wonderful time and are already planning our next visit to explore more of their menu. read more

Loved this spot! We went on an evening in June and were bummed that the outdoor seating was closed but I'm sure it's spectacular once they open it. Our sever was wonderful- so attentive, helpful, and checked on us just the right amount. His timing in bringing things out was also really good! I had the beet and burrata salad and it was amazing! So flavorful with a lovely crunch on top. My boyfriend loved the French onion soup too. I got the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. The artichoke dip it came with was also incredible. And wow- those mashed potatoes were probably the best I've ever had. The amount of ambience is lovely and dark with lots of cool local touches. It felt trendy, but not so trendy that your parents wouldn't like it. I will be back! read more

We had a great birthday dinner at Roger's for our friend. Food was all very well executed. Squash soup was excellent. Steaks, scallops, and duck well all perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes are delicious. Everything was really good. Amanda was a great server. Only critiques are that it's a small kitchen so sometimes you can wait a little bit, as we did for our desserts, but nothing took exorbitantly long to come out. 6 people, 3 apps, 6 entrees, 3 desserts, probably 15 drinks for $550-$600 including a $100 tip read more

Our waitress was so kind and attentive! We sat on the patio, and it was a beautiful fall evening. That river view at sunset cannot be topped. The overall experience was great. I would give a couple of tips though; I ordered my steak medium, and it was pretty much well done. The lobster was quite a bit overcooked. I know this one is hard to control, but there were a ton of little flies on the back patio. When our food and wines came, they were all over our meal. We spent the entire dinner swatting them away. I suggested maybe some citronella torches or candles, possibly at each table. I will definitely be back though. Excited to try some more of their menu, and you can't beat the ambiance, both inside and out! Great new addition to the Snohomish food scene. read more

Bad service and overpriced sub par food. Lots of other better options in the area. Don't waste your time or money here.

Service was great, drinks were great, food not so good. I had the Pork Milanese.. very flat , very dry.. It should of been a butterflied pork loin but was not.. it was a 1/4" flat breaded boneless pork chop that was not PAN SEARED (like it said) it was OVERLY deep fried and SUPER DRY.. the lemon caper sauce did not help what so ever..(not worth $30.00) Very disappointed.. My husband had the Ribeye which he really enjoyed.. read more

I have been coming to eat here for about 7 years, the family that owns this restaurant is absolutely lovely and a pivotal part of the community for me! Their love of food and family is very apparent. I've tried most everything on the menu and can confidently recommend everything. read more

So delicious the steak so huge and clams so yummy about everything so wonderful the place not fancy and rest so great

Came for drinks yesterday and was so impressed by the food coming to tables. We made reservations and returned the next day. Pear and arugula salad was great. Lobster and clams were great as was the rack of lamb. Amy was an amazing hostess. Almond cake was sweet and light! When visiting WA again we'll be back to Roger's. Sat in the outside patio on a warm summer day! It was great! read more

Not sure why this place gets such good reviews. Went here on a busy Sat night. The energy was lively but the food was horrible. First, our waiter was an older gentleman who kept making snide remarks to both of us in an attempt to be funny. I didn't think he was funny at all, but rude. He kept trying to upsell us in a passive-aggressive way that made us want to leave. But we'd been walking around Snohomish all day and needed to eat. I got the short ribs which was supposed to be a stew? and the meat was TOUGH. The dish was more like overcooked SLOP. My date got the steak and our waiter completely messed up his order. But he DISAPPEARED after our food arrived and we couldn't send anything back. No other staff members were around to help us so we were forced to eat bad food we didn't like. AVOID this place. Or at least make sure your order is right before your server disappears. We couldn't justify leaving a tip due to the bad service and the leathery meat. read more

Delicious. Everything. Clam sauce was worth ordering it again. Everything was excellent. Would love the almond cake recipe. read more

Small quaint little place, environment can get loud due to it being a small area, overall we had a good dinner the menu can be limiting to some. We had the Salmon and the mashed potatoes were incredible, along with the clams! Service was great. read more

Wow it was another excellent experience here. Love those clams and like the fact you get a spoon for the sauce it's like clam chowder. Service is prompt and enough people helping everyone. Small place but we got there early with no reservation and were seated does get a bit stuffy when it's warm but outside is real . We had the specials halibut and braised short ribs both tasty went with fruit crisp at end was made to order and delicious. Can't go all the time but always memorable read more

We dined here with friends a couple weekends ago and had excellent food and service! I've driven through downtown Snohomish and told the husband of mine we should definitely check it out for date night sometime. We made reservations and upon arriving were seated right away. The restaurant isn't very big so I think getting reservations was a great idea. It has a nice casual atmosphere we loved and our server was so knowledgeable about their gluten free options. He made a couple recommendations the whole table couldn't resist and we were not at all disappointed we listened to him. We had the fondue and they brought out delicious gf bread. It's a small appetizer so you can safely order a couple for a table. The husband and one of our friends had the French onion soup they highly praised and I enjoyed the seasonal salad with pears, gorgonzola, and candied pecans. Several of us at the table were so impressed with the sound of the scallop special that night we couldn't refuse and we were not at all disappointed in the perfectly executed scallops, puree, and fresh asparagus spears. The husband loved his fish and chips he had. We finished with a decadent flourless chocolate cake with raspberries. Everything we had was perfectly prepared, delicious, and served with a smile. We definitely will be visiting again in the future. read more

Always great service. Solid specials every time we've been in. Usually on the quiet side, though last time was a bit louder, and I'm not sure why. Get the cheesecake! read more

Food is excellent service is personal and outstanding. The class served with bread is outstanding

How have I not reviewed this place?! Whenever my husband and I find ourselves in Snohomish this is usually our first choice. Small, intimate restaurant with a fantastic patio. Blankets, an amazing view. On this day, the patio was full so we got to sit inside. The bartender was awesome and chatted with us. The bar seating was nice, small but plenty for us. The food is always phenomenal and if you get a chance, have the clams. (Once I went and had two orders of them for myself...) I.always want to try the special, so if you visit and don't see the snapper, that's because it was a special. But it was delicious nonetheless. read more

First time experience. Overall we feel like this place has something special to offer. The food was great and the drink options great as well. Service was top notch, greeted at the door, checked on and they made suggestions on what we could try. Unfortunately there was a large group of people next to our table and VERY loud. The space was small and the high tables in the corner felt like they didn't make sense, mainly how they were situated around the room. I definitely want to come back but experience the other room or outside. read more

Roger's is hands-down the best place to eat in the area. We live in Everett and Roger's consistently is our go-to spot during the week and weekends. The service is always fantastic and the food is PHENOMENAL!! Yes, your bill will be a little higher than some other places nearby but it's 100% worth it- every time. My favorite meal as a regular is the arugula and pear salad (easily the best salad) and the french onion soup. Cocktails are great and the bartender is even better ;) Save space for the cheesecake and ask for raspberry sauce. Of you like clams, the clam pasta with creamy leek sauce is to die for. Basically, every thing is worth trying!! read more

Great French onion soup, Great Rack of Lamb, the Caesar salad is too plain and should be done better. Service was good. Mashed potatoes were very good as were the vegetables, but need more vegetables. 1 carrot and 3 string beans is not enough. Find the right balance of good plating and enough food. read more

Honestly I wasn't super impressed. We had a "Cesar salad" which consisted of 4 whole leaves of romaine lettuce drizzled in Cesar. The chicken cordon bleu was good, but not any better than when I make it at home- could have used a sauce or something to really elevate it... I excepted more from such a highly praised restaurant! The roast veggies and mashed potatoes were the real highlight for me... Apple crisp seemed like all crisp no apple. Service was friendly. All in all I won't be in any hurry to go back. read more

I have NO idea how this place gets good reviews. The bar area is the nicest area of the restaurant. The dining area, not so much. There is a curtain that somewhat blocks the dirty kitchen. The food is average, to below average. Sloppy preparation and presentation. Have visited on several occasions to give it a shot, and the special is always the same. Nothing famous about the mashed potatoes (as posted on menu) Clams are FULL of butter Short Ribs are a sloppy mess something very odd that happened to our party, we saw the waiter pouring shots and slamming them behind the bar. To each their own, we just thought it was odd, and then taken aback when we all had a plus 1 drink tab on our bill when it came. I truly hope that we weren't buying his drinks. it was adjusted after we pointed it out. read more

Loved the food, great service, great ambiance! Everyone who worked there was so friendly, and the peach and burrata salad might have been the best salad I ever had. I added grilled salmon, which was cooked perfectly. read more

Small and charming little bistro/bar. Thought it was cute they heat the patio with the portable big Buddy heaters. We got to sit on the covered patio with the perfect river view. On a busy Friday night, it was nice we didn't have to wait. The creamy saucy clams were quite unique and amazing. The clams were so big and piping hot, it was perfect for slurping the sauce when eating the clams and then sop up the sauce with the endless bread sides. This dish is a must have! Salmon rillette $10 four pieces of bread topped with smoked and fresh salmon. It's good, not amazing. Halibut special was cooked perfectly. The leek cream sauce was spot on if that's what it was with tomatoes it was so fresh and flavorful. Wish the portions for everything was bigger. The potatoes were amazing but for it being of a thinner consistency it didn't look attractive like a puddle of sauce on a plate. Maybe it'd look better on a small ramekin dish. The $38 was good was a tad overdone being a thinner ribeye. The good char made up for it. The pecan pie was delish. Being lactose intolerant, it was nice to have something without ice cream and different then the typical offerings like cheesecake and chocolate cake. Saw someone having pasta it looked amazing. A date night place for sure. Lots of couples of all ages here. read more

Another great meal at Roger's. What can I say? The location in downtown Snohomish is so convenient. The area is walkable with much to see. There is both indoor and outside seating. The servers are fantastic. Drinks and menu are delicious. Our party was once again blown away at how good the food was. We had the duck confit, halibut, and a pasta dish. The drinks are expertly made. read more

Spotted this place after the Snohomish farmers market. Good service, but food is pricey and sub par. We ordered the specials based on the waiter's recommendations. This included the clams and crab cakes for appetizer and the fresh halibut ($33) and slow cooked short ribs ($26) for entrees. The clams were by far the best and the rest really disappointing. My halibut dish looked like leftovers, see photo- It came with mashed potatoes, a half a sliced carrot (?) and two pieces of cauliflower. Plus, there were too many spices and toppings on my halibut to enjoy any fresh halibut flavor (i was told it'd be pan seared with a thin strip of mustard sauce). The short ribs were basically overcooked pot roast and just looked un-appetizing from the get go, see photo. I should have stuck to ordering a burger! read more

Great food and excellent service. The staff is great and we appreciate the intimate ambiance to have a dinner with friends and family. I haven't had a bad meal there ever and have probably gone about a dozen times in the past couple of years! read more

We have started exploring the new local eats after making a move and was looking for a new dinner date spot. After perusing Yelp, decided to give this place a try and boy is it a great find. We walked in at 5 and was promptly greeted. It was a nice day and we had an option to sit on the riverfront patio which we elected to. If you area afraid it gets chilly on the patio, no worries as they have patio heaters in addition to having blankets and pillows as well. I option for the season special of the roasted halibut served with roasted cauliflower and one of the best mashed potato I have had in a while. The halibut was topped with a truffle oil vinaigrette and the chef came out and topped the entire halibut with fresh shaved truffles. If you like truffles, this is the dish for you. My wife opted for the crusted pork loin and that was great as well. Dessert was the pecan pie and that was great as well. It is a decent size and definitely sharable. Coffee is by the French press and if only one is drinking, you can ask for the half carafe. They have a kids menu too and couple tables had kids and our next trip will probably involve the kids. Give this place a try, you wont be disappointed. read more

The new boss took several of us out to dinner. We decided on this place because it had good reviews, was within walking distance, and none of us had ever been here. I have seen Roger carrying bread from the bakery to the restaurant, and had long thought that I should go check the place out. This was my chance. The clam appetizer was cooked correctly, but seemed low on flavor. I was recovering from a cold, so perhaps my taste buds were not at peak performance. The crab cakes were excellent and perfectly cooked. The staff was very attentive and efficient. The lighting was moderately dimmed, but not too dark, but you might need your flashlight to read the menu. The background noise and music were not too much. This is not a loud restaurant. Entrees in our group included lamb, salmon, duck, and steak. And a vegetarian requested a vegetarian alfredo, I think. I ordered the salmon. Sides were mashed potatoes and acorn squash. The mashed potatoes had a good texture and not too buttery. The acorn squash had just the right amount of brown sugar and had been cooked enough that I could scoop bites out easily with my fork, but no burned edges either. The salmon was satisfying and not dry or overcooked. The lemon wedge was fresh. Nothing in my meal stood out to me as amazing, but it was tasty and satisfying. Everything met my expectations for a good meal out, and we all had a good time. Everybody was filled with drinks, appetizers, and entrees, so we passed on dessert. I would like to return with my wife some night before the New Year. read more

Solo diner trying to find a bite to eat and stumbled upon this place. I'm so glad the restaurant I walked into before was too busy. (This place is busy too! Make a reservation!) This little bistro in Snohomish is great! I ordered a Caesar Salad and a house made Shrimp Pasta dish. Both were delicious! The Caesar salad I will say was very impractical. I didn't know if I should cut it with a knife or eat it like a taco. After trying to cut it and stab the thin lettuce with my fork which I failed miserably at a few times, I decided to throw away all dignity and pick it up hahaha. It was very good but I had a hard time coming to terms with struggling over a $10 side salad. As for the pasta dish, I was surprised at how good this was. HUGE, properly cleaned, perfectly cooked shrimp. A good amount of them too. Cut into 3 smaller pieces each, it was the perfect ratio to the pasta. Didn't run out of one before the other. The pasta was delicious the sauce was creamy and the flavor was epic! I had the most wonderful older woman as my server. Not sure if she was an owner or host but she wasn't a waitress (she didn't have on the same dress code as the younger girls) She was kind and reliable and came at the perfect moments. This place is spendy. I paid $40 for just myself. But for a date or solo self care day, this place is on my list to go back for sure! read more

I think we found our new "go to" spot in Snohomish. Not just the city of Snohomish, but Snohomish County and beyond. I have nothing negative to say about Roger's. The food, service and ambiance is not only great, but consistently great. Their cocktails, spot on, wine list, just right, and food, simply perfect. Good luck deciding between the short rib special and their fantastic house made pasta. Their French onion soup and arugula salad with walnuts, beets and burrata are always a great starter. There portions are generous and if you can please finish off with one of their delectable deserts and you'll have yourself a perfect night. We will always be back! read more

It's unfortunate that I have to leave this review; but after planning a nice evening for my wife's birthday (made reservations two weeks in advance), and being seated, we realized none of the staff (servers nor kitchen) were wearing masks. My wife is 8.5 months pregnant and understandably is concerned with safety as the Omicron variant caseloads are high right now. We made the decision to leave. We informed the server and hostess of our decision to leave, and why, and the server (male, he was possibly the owner or manager) rolled his eyes and turned around. We had been really looking forward to dining at Roger's as it would have been our first time since February 2020. The clams are amazing and we had a wonderful experience our last time there. Later in the evening I did some deeper digging into Yelp reviews and several others have mentioned Roger's flippant attitude to following COVID guidelines. It would have been nice to know of this before making reservations - I simply would have avoided the restaurant. When a business decides what regulations/rules to follow, it makes you wonder about their operations. For example, the Snohomish Health District has a lengthy list of guidelines a restaurant must follow regarding food safety and others to keep their patrons and staff safe. Does Roger('s) choose which of these he thinks are appropriate and which are not? It is interesting that Roger's received $104,227 in COVID-relief (PPP) funds that have been fully forgiven (they didn't seem to have an issue with that!), yet now seems to have a "policy" to not follow simple masking guidelines (that all businesses are required to follow) to make patrons feel comfortable and keep their staff safe. See: https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/search?q=ROGER%27S+RIVERVIEW+BISTRO+CORP. This is just PPP funding, it's likely Roger's also took advantage of the many other relief programs offered to businesses as part of the COVID response. read more
