Came here with my wife for our date night due to the Yelp reviews. Pleasantly surprised. Restaurant is VERY clean, interesting menu with a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches & entrees. I had the Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. Salad was fresh with perfectly cooked chicken that was tasty. My wife had the pork carnitas bowl, which was a healthy portion and delicious according to my wife. Two Rivers has been open two years, which is amazing as we weren't even aware of it. According to our waitress, they hear that a lot. They do take reservations, but it really wasn't needed. A mix of high tops, tables and a nice bar. Bright airy interior and a covered exterior patio. read more

We stopped in after visiting the zoo for lunch, with a party of four adults and two kids. We were seated immediately upon entering on a Saturday around 3pm. This is a very bright lighted and well taken care of establishment with nice clean bathrooms as well. We received decent service, and received our food in a timely manner. We started with the Burnt Ends Poutine, which is a shareable sized loaded French fries with Smoked Brisket, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy and perfectly pickle red onion on top. For 15$ I Never had fries this way but it certainly didn't disappoint and was very interesting. Everyone decided on burgers. Two of us got the French onion burger and two of us got the All American Burger. The French onion burger consisted of very very caramelized onions, three different cheeses, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and a toasted bun with butter accompanied by french fries. The caramelized onions were so creamy and tasty. It really brought the whole burger together. The All-American Burger consisted of grilled onions, American cheese, a special sauce, bacon, lettuce, tomato on a buttered toasted bun with fries. The burgers were pretty big in patty size and we all finished our food with no problems. I'm glad we came here instead of spending over 100$ on 3 meals at the zoo!! read more

**Review: Two Rivers - Powell, Ohio** A surprisingly delightful stop that turned two weary travelers into instant fans* After a long weekend of work and an even longer drive home ahead of us, my friend and I found ourselves in that familiar Sunday-evening limbo: hungry, tired, and absolutely unwilling to settle for bar food or a two-hour dining commitment. Enter Two Rivers in Powell -- a place my friend had heard "great things" about. (And for once, the mysterious *they* who leave great reviews were absolutely right.) The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a hostess with a smile so warm it could've been bottled and sold as a wellness supplement. Despite the restaurant being impressively full, we were seated quickly at a cozy table toward the back. What happened next could only be described as a masterclass in hospitality choreography. Two Rivers uses a "team service" approach -- and unlike many restaurants where that phrase means "everyone is responsible so no one actually shows up," here it was executed with precision. A young man appeared instantly to fill our water glasses, let us know Dom would be our server, and asked if we wanted anything besides water. French Martinis were ordered without hesitation. Not even two minutes later, Dom arrived -- friendly, confident, and with the kind of calm assurance that tells you your evening is in good hands. He let us know our cocktails were being prepared and asked if we'd dined there before. When we said no, he promised we wouldn't be disappointed. Spoiler: Dom does not make empty promises. Since it was nearing 7 p.m. and neither of us wanted a heavy meal, we opted to share a couple of appetizers: the mushroom tartes and the spinach artichoke dip. We sipped our cocktails (which were excellent -- the kind of French Martini that makes you briefly consider speaking with a French accent) and enjoyed the lively but comfortable atmosphere. The appetizers arrived quickly, and this is where Two Rivers truly won us over. **Mushroom Tartes** The clear winner of the evening. The crust was buttery, delicate, and baked to golden perfection. The filling -- a rich, savory mushroom mixture -- was warm, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. The drizzle of balsamic added just the right touch of brightness. We both had the same thought after the first bite: *Should we have ordered two orders?* (Yes. The answer is yes.) **Spinach Artichoke Dip** Creamy, flavorful, and made with cream cheese -- which, in my personal food pyramid, is absolutely its own category. The dip was indulgent without being heavy, and the toasted French bread was a lovely pairing. I personally prefer my bread a touch softer, but even with that note, the dish was still a hit. **Final Thoughts** Two Rivers delivered exactly what we needed: quick service without feeling rushed, elevated food without the fuss, and hospitality that felt genuine rather than scripted. Dom and the entire team made our brief stop feel like a thoughtfully curated dining experience. This is a family-owned and operated restaurant, with Dad leading the culinary charge as head chef -- and you can taste that pride and craftsmanship in every dish. If you find yourself in Powell -- whether you're a local or two tired travelers just trying to get home -- Two Rivers is absolutely worth the detour. And do yourself a favor: get the mushroom tartes. Maybe get two. Specials to Check Out **Join Them for Happy Hour** Monday through Friday, 3-6 p.m. at the bar: - 1/2 off appetizers - $2 off draft beer - $3 off wine by the glass - $3 off house cocktails read more

The food, cocktails and service were amazing. The patrons, literally the other customers -- a Tuesday night, happy-hour, entitled without a reservation crowd -- were a little atrocious but the restaurant handled them with ease and grace. We had a fantastic meal and once those customers left, the ambiance was fantastic. Highly recommend making a reservation (the food is that good) but there's also open bar seating for walk-ins. The neighborhood skews older and so did many of patrons, but again the restaurant navigated everything with expert care. The vibe of the restaurant is younger, hipper than the guests or the location. Highly suggest ordering the Blueberry Colins, salted bread and burrata too! For dinner, filling up on amazing appetizers, I had the Catie's Apple Avocado Salad. It was such a great choice. The portions were huge in the best way. We left happy and stuffed. read more

Had lunch here with my daughter. Been here before and the food is always good .casual place . We ordered the cinnamon rolls which are four small ones instead of one large one. Good but needed to be warmer. The salads were good . I had the chopped salad which was good and my daughter had the apple avocado salad. To much lettuce and not enough of the other stuff . I believe there is a patio when the weather gets warmer we will be back read more

Everything was OK. Service was great, food was very good. No complaints and will eat here again.

My mom & I tried this restaurant out for lunch. It is a quaint little spot located at the end of a strip mall. We got the burnt ends poutine fries for appetizer to share. It was a huge portion & it was amazing. The cheese curds with the gravy complimented one another perfectly. I really wanted to try the french onion burger but decided on the Chop salad instead. All of the burgers passing our table looked fantastic. Our server was good & everyone was friendly. Prices were about average read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - Burnt Ends Poutine - American Near Me - Powell, Ohio

We stopped in for an appetizer to share and picked the burnt ends poutine...AMAZING!! It's a meal on its own. The beef was tender and flavorful with perfect melty cheese curds, perfectly seasoned gravy and yummy tangy pickled onions. Perfect combination. We had a very friendly and attentive bartender ( we sat at the bar ), the restaurant had just a few customers at this time because of it being about 30 min before happy hour at 3pm. It's a "chic" and rustic modern style with an open kitchen at the back of the restaurant. Too bad we live in another state, visiting family in the area, from but we will definitely come back here next time we are in town! read more

Reasonable prices for good food. I had the ginger tofu with chicken instead. It was tasty but a little too salty for me. Sandwiches come with fries which are thick and crunchy. The turkey croissant was good but had too much mayonnaise. Highly recommend the apple pie bread pudding with ice cream. Service was great but the place is really loud when the tables are full. read more

My husband and I were looking for someplace new to try and saw this listed on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. It's kind of tucked away in the Big Bear plaza and we had never seen it. I'm not sure what we expected, but our expectations were exceeded! I got the salmon, he got the pot roast. Both were excellent. We will definitely be going back. read more

Highly recommend! We visited on a busy Friday night, but the service remained top-notch. They are very accommodating for gluten-free needs; my server even confirmed with the kitchen that my meal was safe, which I truly appreciated. The pot roast was outstanding, perfectly prepared and flavorful. The rest of our party loved the smash burger and steak frites as well. We are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Great brunch this past Sunday. Lots of choices from breakfast burgers, eggs, biscuits and sandwiches.

Drinks are great! I always sit at the bar and service is excellent. Ambiance depends on the day. Some days great with low noise. Other days packed and noisy. Still an enjoyable place but menu is limited. read more

Pleasant atmosphere, quick & friendly service. We went there for Restaurant Week so I chose the chopped salad, fish with salsa and rice and strawberry tart for dessert. The salad was nice & fresh. The fish was kind of fishy tasting, unfortunately, and some of the grains of rice were hard. They were so hard that I spit them out to make sure they were actually rice and not something else. They were indeed grains of hard (as in very under-cooked) rice. I took the dessert home for my husband and he said it was excellent. I wasn't wowed by the dinner as I expect to be during Restaurant Week. read more

Wow the owners did this place right. High ceiling restaurants are typically a difficult place for us to talk and enjoy our time. Two Rivers has enough acoustics panels throughout to avoid the need to speak loudly to your partner or guest. The food was above normal for what we thought we were getting, which was typical bar fair. Hubby had a smashburger, sauce on the side. Next time will definitely put the sauce (think of a slight dill pickle, spicy aioli taste) on the burger. It was cooked perfectly and very very juicy. I had the roasted tomato soup. Vibrant, parm cheese full bodied flavor. We will be back and we will bring guests! read more

What an amazing experience. We visited Two Rivers this evening for dinner. It was our first time. It was awesome. The entire experience was top notch. Our server, Rory, she was amazing. Gave numerous recommendations and was so efficient and quick. The food was top level and the restaurant atmosphere was incredible. We met the owner, Mike, and he was so down to earth and so appreciative. I also noticed that every associate working was helping each other. It was such a well oiled machine. My chix sandwich was perfect. Not heavy and just the right portion size. My wife's salad was extremely fresh and flavorful. Dessert, well let's just say, added a few pounds on me...lol. Apple Pie Bread Pudding. Need I say more? Thanks to the entire team at Two Rivers. We will be back and will bring our friends with us. Great Job!! read more

Delightful restaurant with a casual upscale atmosphere that offers soups, salads, sandwiches, and entrees. The food offerings are very good, and the service is too. For dinner, I opted for the French Onion burger, and I savored each bite. My wife ordered the Strawberry Salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. read more

Stumbled in on our way from Dublin to Marysville. It was very quiet at 3pm on a Saturday. The hamburger was 5* according to my mate and my chopped salad was very good too. The dressings are made in-house. Zeke did a great job and was very personable. I'm not sure we will return since we live on the East Side, but locals should give them a go. read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - American Near Me - Powell, Ohio

Tried this place for the first time. The restaurant was very nice inside sitting at the end of a strip shopping center. Food was good. I had a crispy chicken sandwich but requested the chimichuri spread on the side. I ended up enjoying the spread and will include it again. The chicken breast was good but felt a bit smaller than comparable sandwiches I have had other places. The service was outstanding. Rory was an excellent server. When I return (want to try the brunch) I plan to ask for her. Place is a need to try. Seemed like it was on the pricier side of what I might expect, so be prepared. read more

A Hidden Gem for Lunch (and Happy Hour!) This place is a perfect little lunch spot! The interior is super cute and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I had a cup of soup--which was surprisingly generous in size--and the turkey club on toasted sourdough. The sandwich was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and huge! I'd definitely come back for dinner, especially since they offer happy hour from 3-6 PM. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Ambiance on a cold winter afternoon with mellow, nostalgic Xmas music is perfect. Server Hanna is prompt, helpful, and nice. French Onion Burger and Chicken Soup were both excellent. All-in-all, just what we were looking for on a holiday shopping day. read more

The food is out of this world. The service was ever better. I would fly down just to eat here and go back.

I'd probably go 3.5 stars if I could because our food was mixed in results. The tuna crudo was very disappointing, so bland, it was just the tuna not even with salt (very good tuna though). I had the soup of the day which was pasole and it was good. I had the French onion burger and it was very good, definitely had the French onion flavor and perfectly cooked but the "three cheese" part didn't ring true for me. My wife had the apple salad with salmon (tiny portion of salmon) and it was good. Our service was great and the ambience is very casual which was what we were seeking, the drinks were good too. So I'd summarize to say a casual place with pretty good food and very convenient for us in Powell so we will likely be back. read more

This season I hosted a party for a total of 10 people, I decided to make it a little easier on myself so I too could relax & enjoy Company ~ I decided to have Two Rivers cater my dinner for all my guests. Our main entrees consisted of three dishes: Grilled Flat Iron Steaks Frites with French Fries, Arugula, Roasted Garlic Aioli Pork Carnitas Bowls with Cilantro Rice, Black Beans, Roasted Corn, Pickled Red Onion, Red Peppers, Sour Cream Southern Fried Chicken with Sauteéd Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Cornbread, Thyme Honey Butter, Pan Gravy Two Rivers were very accommodating to my requests of a few modifications & my guests loved the food. The food was literally coming out of Kitchen and being packed up on the arrival time we wanted requested for pick up. All three steaks were on point as we requested all three prepared "Rare" and looked Mouthwatering! All the food was carefully packaged in sturdy containers & looked Wonderful. This local family run establishment Really is a Gem! Thanks so Much! read more

Enjoyed the food and ambiance. Staff helped us to select menu and service was fine. Parking is not an issue here.

Menu is unique- happy hour is good Fried chicken good corn bread dry not like your grandma would make Salads good outside is awesome not on a parking lot read more

We went out of our way to order as many things as we could. Hey, I am often Yelp Elite! Have to take care of all you readers. This is the greatest restaurant gift to Powell we could ask for. As a foodie I have been wishing I didn't have to go into the inner belt of 270 for my palate. Two Rivers is shining. I notice some little things like a chef getting fresh blackberries and working it into the drink, salad and dessert menu. That's not typical of "the burbs". The food and presentation is excellent. For the price points they hit, this is glorious. The kitchen staff show some real pride in their work. Little details like some avocado mousse on top of a salmon dish stand out as a nice accompaniment, not a dollop. The staff is still getting to know each other and learn their dance moves, but I'm just trying to defend my reputation for anyone that wants to challenge my 5 stars. If you are in that boat, order one of their craft cocktails and look me in the eye without smiling like a kid on a hot summer day getting ice cream. Thank you for coming to Powell. My only ask is to think about the Vegans and Vegetarian crowd a tad more. Hats off to everyone that supported my family having a lovely dinner at a very cool bistro. read more

Food was good, customer service was decent, menu was a little odd don't know if I would return

Amazing!!! Wanted to try it moore than once to get a good perspective, given Powell doesn't get new full-service restaurants very often. Stopped in three or four times since they opened, and it has been consistently great. The restaurant is very welcoming and has an open concept. Hostesses greet you at the door and sincerely welcome you. Would recommend making reservations as we have seen 30 minute waits for walk-ins during prime time. Seating options include Outdoor covered patio, bar stools/high tops, and general restaurant booths, tables and high-tops. They have a full-service bar in the center of the restaurant with bar spots for 12 or so people. Havent seated at the bar directly but looks inviting - with a few TVs visible. The environment is energetic local place - lots of people engaging with each other and the staff. The Chefs are actively checking on their patrons. Definitely not your local library - given the happy fun vibe you get from the start. If you want a quiet area, suggest a front or rear booth or even the covered patio. It is very casual and could a great or family fun, friends, work, or just a solo quick bite. Based on recommendations from others, we have made reservations each time and our table was ready on time. Our experience has been great! Friendly Hostesses and Servers! We have had a couple great servers - including Jacob and Noelle. Both were fun, engaging and helpful in selecting best options. Feels like this staff has been together for a while given they work and have fun like they are long life friends. Our most recent visit we pulled a high top in the bar area for 6. We've tried a couple of their house specialty drinks: Old Fashion (great mix) and the Cucumber Gimlet (so refreshing). We have tried a few of their bourbon pours, beers and wine options too. Plenty to choose from and easy to choose. As for appetizers, I ordered and would highly recommend the Tuna Crudo and Burnt Ends Poutine. Tuna and pickled cucumber provides a refreshing light start and Burnt Ends brings it home with flavor/fries/fire flavor. I would order the Tuna as a lunch plate and the Burnt Ends would be great for kids to share too. We shared the Apple Avocado Salad and it was delicious for an intro. Not overwhelming but Creamy Avocado dressing was super tasty. Could also do this with Salmon as a lunch/dinner. For Dinner we have tried Reuben, French Onion Burger, American Burger, Meatball Sub, and Grilled New York Strip (all five are amazing and would do again) - However my two favoeriwews are the Southern Fried Chicken and Three Cheese Tortellini. Chicken was incredible meal - with a boneless juicy piece of chicken, you also get a fresh & little crunchy green beans, their spin on mash potatoes and a little cornbread. SO SO DELICIOUS! Three Cheese Tortellini (I added Salmon-see picture), was and still is my favorite. Thanks Noelle for recommending it. But PLEASE PLEASE don't forget to try the Brown Butter BlackBerry Tart or as we kept calling it the Brown Betty Apple Blackberry pie. HA! It is so good. I tried all three on the menus but loved this one. We love this place and are excited to have it around. The menu gives you great options where you don't have to get the same thing twice for a months. Give it a try if you are around the Zoo or Powell area or just driving through. Welcome to the Powell area Two Rivers!!! read more

Great place!!! Make a reservation and enjoy. Ask for Jasmin behind the bar. So friendly and so professional. Then get a table in Emily's section. Fun, personable, knowledgeable and didn't mind four old people bothering her. The fried chicken dinner is amazing. Crispy, plus mashed potatoes, green beans and a small piece of cornbread. The red blend Palisades wine was really good. Now I need to find a bottle. The margarita must have been tasty since my wife had two. Place was a little loud but it was a fun loud. People laughing and having a good time. Again, thanks Emily and Jasmine!!! read more

The interior is crisp and refined with a touch of rustic flair. The goat cheese was an excellent starter with crisp fresh arugula a honey drizzle and flecks of diced red pepper. The French onion burger was served with a mountain of melt cheese on top. The staff was friendly and engaging. The Reuben had all the necessary elements and was served with dry salty deeply browned chips that were not comparable to the golden French fries of the burger. read more

Cute little spot! The food is good. The service is good. I like that it's a full restaurant with drink options. I would recommend up-ing the ambiance just a tad to give it more of a restaurant feel and not like a chipotle or similar feel. I like that it's open, but ... maybe it's the lighting... or ... I"m not really sure what it is but it just feels a little too much like a chipotle/starbucks/bright diner-y feel almost. Prices are good! Location is decent also, it's kind of hidden though so you'd need to know it was there. I got the avocado salad with grilled chicken, extra dressing on the side and extra goat cheese and super happy I did! It's actually making me hungry just typing about it. :P Would visit here again! read more

Heading up to Twin Rivers tonight for one of their "soft openings" Detailed review to follow-- What an exceptional evening at the new restaurant Twin Rivers Restaurant and Bar in Powell . The restaurant has vibrant atmosphere that you can feel as soon as you walk through the door, Lauren the Manager has assembled an exceptional team of bar, serving and support staff who are not only knowledgable about the menu but also genuinely enthusiastic about their rolls. Our server Steve was the epitome of attentiveness but without being intrusive. Our party of four started with a selection of appetizers, The Daily Charcuterie Plate, Crab Roll and Spring Mushroom Tart. Each dish was excellently prepared,tasty and well portioned. The main courses we ordered were Flat Iron Steak, Pozole Braised Pork Rib, Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini and my favorite Southern Fried Chicken. Every dish was visually pleasing and packed with flavor appealing to both the eyes and palate.The evening was concluded with two standout desserts the Brown Butter Blackberry Tart and Warm Peach Crisp with Ice Cream , You could truly taste the homemade quality in each bite, rounding off an excellent evening.

Dinner with three girlfriends last night. We had a reservation made online in which I specified we'd need separate checks. I ordered hot tea when I arrived (I worked outside all day in 21° temps!) and was given a huge pot! Our server was cordial and prompt. She did leave us a bit too long before taking our order, however we were very undecided when she tried to take our order twice before so that's not really on her. Menu choices are great. I had a seared salmon over quinoa. Cooked perfectly. Girlfriends all enjoyed their choices. And dessert was yummy flourless chocolate cake. Highly recommend that! Separate checks were presented without having to ask (as per reservation, which means they read the specific request). Restaurant was very warm and welcoming. Not too loud even when busy. Perhaps lighting could be dimmed but I suppose others would complain if it's too dark. The place emptied out at 8pm. We'd return for sure! read more
