The River Nile Cafe will NOT disappoint. I'd recommend this establishment to any friend of mine. As soon as you walk into TRNC you immediately are greeted by several cheerful employees, shout out Miss. Jaden for her service. Not to mention the aroma of fresh herbs! As soon as you walk in you can tell everything is FRESH. The menu has something for everyone and anyone. I'll add, if I lived in town and wasn't just visiting. I'd stop here everyday for a coffee and pastry. I'll add those menus as well. Food, that I tried. ---------------- Appetizers(Sorry those pictures stood no chance.) ---------------------------------------------- The Bread Basket: The Rosemary Bread with Olive Oil and Herbs was fresh and an awesome starter. The quality is like non other. (10/10) Spinach & Artichoke Dip: A very creamy dish, served with pita bread. Which was a nice take on the traditional dip! (8/10) ---------------------------------------------- Entrees ---------------------------------------------- West of Eden: The bread was fresh made rosemary bread, cut into thick slices. The chicken was moist. (This is my girlfriend's review of the dish.) (8/10) The Gouda Burger: For starters I knew this burger was special when I saw the description in the menu... Boy, was it. The sirloin was juicy, and tasted perfect with the chipotle dressing. Which the sweet mixed with spicy chipotle was a perfect balance. (10/10) ---------------------------------------------- **Honorable Mentions** Alexander the Great, the Greek Salad. Soup of the Day, Creamy Tomato. Thank you Nile River Cafe! read more

The River Nile Cafe - The West of Eden Sandwich - Soup Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

I had heard about this place online and we happened to be near it today so we stopped in. Boy am I glad we did! This place was amazing! I had the chicken salad sandwich and sweet potato fries. Delish. My husband had the burger and steak fries. I am not a fan of steak fries but his weren't the best I've ever had. Thin and crispy. Cooked to perfection. He had onion rings on his burger and he shared those to and they might have been the best onion rings I've ever had. I wish we had saved room for dessert because it looked so good. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area! read more

The River Nile Cafe - Chicken Salad Sandwich Sweet Potato Fries and the best little dipping sauce ever! - Soup Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

I really can't think of anything bad to say! I'm a very picky yelp-eliter BUT I truly cannot say anything bad about this place. They're in a plaza area, so parking is easy! Once we walked in, greeted right away and it smelled so good and looked so clean! Our server was top notch. I wish I remembered his name but wow, he was the sweetest, so friendly, knew everything of the menu, the drinks and all! He answered all our questions for us and recommended some great foods! I ordered the Gouda Burger, which he recommended and said they were known for and it did NOT DISAPPOINT! It comes with sides and I went with fruit to balance out my burger :) Then I ordered a cup of the soup of the day, I wish I remembered the name of it but it was DELICIOUS. For appetizers, we ordered the sun dried tomatoe bread with the rosemary butter oil on the side to dip it in (not pictured cause I was honestly so hungry!) and it was so good. My girlfriends ordered their pink mocha's and they LOVED it! They have a cool coffee menu. I LOVE THE PORTION AS WELL. Not too big not too small. Just right. Would come here again... probably very soon! read more

The River Nile Cafe - For lunch, I ordered The Gouda Burger and the Soup of the Day which was phenomenal. - Soup Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Cute little cafe, super friendly service and healthy food! A must try if you're in Dothan.

The food was Great ! Love the Ambience of this family oriented restaurant in the windmill station. We arrived for lunch and had some very welcoming ladies greeting us and instructing us to take a seat where we would like. Our waitress Jaden I hope I spelled her name right Was very attentive to us as customers. We started our experience with a bread basket with dipping oil. The bread is made in house ! I followed the bread with Spinach and artichoke dip. I had a unsweetened iced tea and my companion had a lavender iced tea I would totally recommend (Keep in mind for a refill of lavender iced tea it is 50¢) but it's worth I had a Tomato cream soup cup ( The soup of the day ) With a West of Eden sandwich a perfect accompany to each other ! The Gouda Burger was served to my Companion a tower of wonderful ingredients presented to make you take a bite and enjoy for sure! We took an Alexander the Great salad home definitely going to enjoy it aswell! Can't wait to visit The River Nile again !! read more

We ordered four drinks, a salad, a sandwich and a cup of soup with some pita and hummus and the price was $90+ The food was good, the atmosphere was nice. The service was a little on the slow side. It took us 15 mins to get our drink order taken and then an additional 10 to get our drinks and about 10 additional mins after that to get our food. We ordered everything at the same time and got there around 1pm so they weren't very busy. It seems like a very nice up and coming cafe spot, but was a little pricey for what we received. read more

Great homemade food! It was a-bit out of our way, but we were glad we found it! The tomato soup was award winning and for a good reason.

Holy moly! Where has this place been?!? Fancy coffee, DELICIOUS SOUP AND BREAD. I realized that the reason I kept missing this place is because I'm always running errands in Dothan after they close. We had already attacked the food when it came so my pictures kinda stink...apologies. Next time, I'm ordering way less...so I have room for dessert! read more

Fun little place for a great lunch. Had the chicken salad w sweet potato fries, highly recommended!!

The food was very good. I had the Gouda Burger and fries. The service was very attentive as well. My only issue with the cafe was with how they charged extra for fries. We had two sandwiches with fries and one childrens meal with fries. Also had two desserts. The bill was $65 before tip. I will not be returning because of the prices. read more

Food was great! Special sauce was on point! Atmosphere was great with all the sports memorabilia and tvs all around.

Ambiance was very cool. Amazingly friendly staff. Delicious food and the venue around was so eclectic and interesting.

Friendly, funny, great food great service. Will definitely be back to try the breakfast.

The roasted red pepper soup is AMAZING! The soups, sandwiches, and tomato bread were all very good and the service was excellent.

Great lunch stop on a recent road trip. Homemade bread, soup and sandwiches in a unique atmosphere.

YES! YES! And YES GO EAT HERE. Such a great little cafe and coffee shop. My daughter and I stumbled onto this and were so happy. Healthy vegan and veg options, if you prefer. We had the hummus, which was warm, as well as a green salad and the scoop of chic salad. ALL VERY GOOD read more

What are my favorite places to be at!! I'm so glad the west side of town has one. I was able to get My favorite coffee I have not had in years! The dark elephant. I also got the hot roast beef which What's called the king tut. Dylan Was the one who got my order. She was amazing And super friendly, Actually everyone was friendly. read more

A great place to eat with outstanding service and food. The food was well prepared and actually hot!

We were in town for business and this place was highly recommended by our local contact (she's a self-proclaimed foodie). She and another local contact kept raving about this fantastic burger......Wow! Let's just say this place is worth all the hype! I ordered the recommended Gouda Burger with sweet potato fries. Can't go wrong when the burger has all the yummy elements in it - smoke Gouda, spicy chipotle sauce, onoin rings and in a brioche bun. The flavor works very well together. The patty is surprisingly light and fluffy(?) - it's not as dense and greasy like others. I pickup a unique flavor in the patty - can't quit pinpoint what it is but it's delightful. The chunks of pickles adds acidity to the burger, which is super nice. The sweet potato fries that comes with it were great too - crispy and not overly greasy. My lunch companions order the West of Eden sandwiches and both of them love the sandwich. Both said they love the unique flavor combination (there are tons of different flavors). Reportedly, the rosemary in the sandwich takes the flavor up a notch. The staffs are friendly and very sweet. read more

My family ordered a ham and cheese croissant, chicken waffle biscuit, and a plain bagel with cream cheese. It was all DELICIOUS!

The best burgers in town! Cute little cafe with outside seating if that's your choice, good homemade food not reheated burger patties like some places.
