    Lake next to River Deck grill
    Russ M.

    Stopped at River Deck today to grab some lunch. Got a hamburger all the way with tater tots. The burgers are always good here. It is a great stop for lunch along Hwy 97. I highly recommend the River Deck for grill and store.

    Cheeseburger with Gouda cheese. Yum!

    One of the best burgers I've ever eaten! The old time feel of a roadside/lakeside cafe was very authentic. I don't know how long this place has been around, but it's doing stuff right! Friendly staff, very clean and neat, no frills, goodfast service!

    Best hamburgers ! It is a very generous sized bun and patty- much more than average size. I love mine all the way and it is incredible!

    Great stop on 97 between Lancaster/ Chester and Camden. Burgers and dogs are excellent! Folks are always nice in the store.

    Go for the double cheeseburger (all the way). Best I've ever had! Nobody does cheeseburgers like River Deck

    We have celebrated every special occasion here for the past seven years. Yesterday was the absolute…read moreworst experience ever. Our waiter was extremely unprofessional. After waiting a considerable amount of time he Greeted us by hurriedly saying, "I'm busy with this these other tables, I'll be back to tell you the specials." No greeting, name, "hello". Just rushed off. We waited and waited and waited. When he finally came over we ordered drinks. He never came back with my martini, only water and my husband's beverage. Finally when he came to take our order my husband told him that I was still waiting for my cocktail. He rushed off to get it. Took our order. Delivered it. Never saw him again. Never came back to see if we needed anything or if our orders were correct. Mine wasn't! I had to get up THREE TIMES and ask the hostess if they could send our waiter over. The nice hostess offered to get the missing item from my order. Then to get our check. Then to get to go boxes. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! The waiter tossed the check on our table without a word and left. No apology for the awfully rude and neglectful service...nothing. Did I leave a tip? What do you think? After leaving my husband and I considered going back and tipping the kind Hostess that took care of our table; since she was doing all the work. We always tip 25%. We're going to go back and tip her.

    We love this place. David the bartender is the best! Sam the owner is an amazing restaurateur and…read morehis attention to detail is on point. You have to eat the shrimp and grits! They are to die for!

    So many lovely things about this place! We had some out of town visitors that we wanted to share…read morethis hidden gem with. They told us afterwards, they were hesitant upon pulling in the parking lot. That is definitely part of the charm. Rustic meets southern charm is the vibe, and they do it well. The food was great! Shareable sides and salads, à la carte entrees. My only qualm was that upon getting home, we noticed they boxed up our sides (including about 8 pieces of fried okra) but didn't box up our entrees like we had requested. Definitely disappointed with this, as the filet specials and shrimp and grits aren't cheap and all had at least half the portion remaining. Other than that disappointment, it was lovely.

Gabe was clearly busy on a Saturday night but still stayed attentive to our table of six. He walked us through the specials with great detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. Food - The reason we came, and it did not disappoint. Our table enjoyed shrimp cocktail, duck spring rolls, rack of lamb, and the King Tut special--every dish was a hit. The large sides were truly shareable for all six of us. The scalloped potatoes, in particular, were incredibly cheesy and scrumptious. Overall - It was our first visit, and we will definitely be back. The only downside was that the hostess seemed visibly overwhelmed by the Saturday night rush, which made the check‑in experience a bit stressful to watch. It might help to give her additional support during peak hours so the front‑of‑house experience matches the excellence of the food and service.
