When my Philly sandwich came out it didn't have meat on it

Very disappointed in dinner last night. Started with he wrong beer. Then waitress didn't refill our water so we had to get it ourselves. For the finally they forgot to put the meat on my Philly sandwich. The said they were remaking it but considering how burnt it was they just reheated it.

Awesome shaded lakeside porch for listening to music and grabbing a bite.

4 stars are entirely about the deck and the view. Nothing to do with the food. most recently we watch snow geese fly by. So cool! We still come here every year during our annual trip to MI. Just keep your food expectations low and enjoy the surroundings. We would not go, if we couldn't sit on the porch. Have been there when the porch is packed and it's always fun people watching. Most recently there were very few people and we also thoroughly enjoyed the quiet.

We had the best time here. The food was delicious and drink were great!

We had the best time! Food was delicious and the drinks were great. They had live music on Friday and they were awesome!

What a great afternoon with sunshine, friends, drinks and some delicious food. This is a hot spot for bikers. Over looks the Muskegon River up on Hardy Dam. During the summer they have a band almost every night.

Got here and there were only a few people here. Many people showed up while we waited. The service was SUPER slow. We ordered the loaded fries and when they finally came out they had clearly sat and cooled down. My chicken club salad had a very small dry chicken breast on it but it was okay, nothing special. My wife had ordered the vegetable soup and it came out looking more like chili and she only had a few bites, she said it was awful. The waitress was totally confused and unorganized. She didn't even know what the soup of the day was and never bothered to find out. We ended up asking another waitress. The burgers sounded good but I will never find out because I'll never eat here again. It's too bad because the view is excellent and it's a perfect halfway point for a nice motorcycle ride.

Lived in Newaygo growing up but never came here until coming back in to town to visit my parents. I went on a Friday afternoon and ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap with house chips...and I loved it! Real good food, friendly service, with my familiar small-town feel.

Big deck, outside bar & on the water! Gas pumps for boats even!

Great lunch spot! Haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy yet! Love the live local bands and the outside deck. Great with the locals too.

River City Saloon - Small beef and bean burrito

This place is magic. A jukebox. Vodka infused with veggies...which is delicious. Great burgers…read more Diverse menu. Regulars that chat and laugh with you. Good environment. Walking distance to plenty of other things downtown. BUT THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS!!!! Crisp. Slight coating of honey. I will dream of theses

Thursday evening, end of August 2023, it's been awhile since my last visit. Menu prices increased…read morefrom last year, not unexpected. I've deleted photos of old menu and attempted to capture the current one. The plastic covered menu reflected lights, but hopefully captured well enough to be useful. Today's specials include chimchurri Mando salmon $14.99, crispy chicken sandwich $11.99, small meat and cheese burrito $7, or all beef $8, served with salsa and sour cream I heard the chicken burrito has a dark brown gravy sauce with enchilada seasons, where the beef is traditional red enchilada sauce. Soup was onion Appetizers 3 pork egg rolls, where I heard many good things about. Bomb boom shrimp and pork rinds. I tried the small bean and meat burrito, a departure from my normal chicken fajita salad. First, I couldn't finish the small burrito. The sauce was a different one than I've ever had, but very tasty. Burrito was filled with a lot of bean and beef filling. No kick, even with salsa. I asked for a second salsa and Frank's hot sauce which helped. I recommend it, for a different twist on a burrito. 3 staff members doing everything from order taking, clearing, drinks and serving dinners. Took a while for someone to take my order. But they were always busy, so I couldn't and didn't complain...just know service may be slow.

What a great place! My wife heard about the Forager from a coworker and we've been meaning to try…read moreit for quite some time. We made a reservation for a Saturday evening. It t was perfect since we didn't have to wait at all for our table but the place was busy; lots of people were excited to be there. We ordered our drinks and the beet and goat salad to split as an appetizer. It was delicious and huge with loads of goat cheese and tasty pickled beets and zesty arugula. For our meal, I ordered the Pork Schnitzel with squash and zucchini and my wife got the whitefish that was one of the specials. The schnitzel had an incredible mushroom sauce and was cooked perfectly with the right balance of crispy and tender. We had a great time and plan to make the drive there regularly! It's great for a date night or a group or family meal!

I appreciated him selling us on things. Our food came out pretty fast and the drinks were very good! I got the pulled pork sandwich, came with a side of coleslaw and I would definitely recommend it. Our bruschetta was great and the calamari was pretty good as well. Amish chicken with the mashed potatoes were phenomenal. To finish it all off, the mango cheesecake was very good. I would highly recommend that. Great spot in a small town.
