Classic breakfast diner environment, friendly and attentive staff with large portions of food. Everything was comforting and pleasant.

Fruit bowl
Mark Maureen C.

Service was great! The food was delicious and great portions! My husband and I like to share an entree as our appetites are smaller these days and this was perfect for that. We ordered a bowl of fruit which was exceptionally small for the price, but it tasted delicious! The chicken theme throughout the restaurant was very cute!

mimosa special

Excellent comfort food with a cozy vibe I came here solo on a Sunday around 11 am, so it was packed, but the staff did a great job keeping up. The bartender was knowledgeable and thorough, which was much appreciated!

Chile Relleno Breakfast Tacos were so worth the wait. 5 stars for the mole alone.

Any decent breakfast spot is guaranteed to be crowded on a weekend in Hood River, and Egg River, due to its proximity to downtown, is definitely on that list. Still our wait wasn't terribly long, and was worth it. My Chile Relleno breakfast tacos were an absolute flavor bomb, with the chorizo stuffed peppers playing off the mole rojo like long lost friends, smoky with just the right amount of heat. Nice portion size, too. As you probably guessed, you can get almost any egg-influenced dish you can think of here, from scrambles to omelets to Benedict's and beyond, and it all looked so good coming out of the kitchen (we were sitting right by it). The place is definitely cozy inside, like a small cabin with a diner vibe, with a bunch of wooden tables and booths scattered throughout and kitschy signs and tchotchkes tucked into the corners, but it is definitely cheery. As I mentioned, it gets pretty crowded on weekends and parking is tight, so get there early. Despite the hubbub, our server was efficient and friendly, so there's a very good chance we'll be back. Count me as a happy customer.

Keep driving!!

Average diner. French toast Average. $3 scrambled egg uninspired. Scrambled needed flavor so requested salsa. Offered two kinds and settled on Pico de gallo. Server (on her own) went ahead and brought the other one too. When we got the bill were not only surprised to see $1.50 for the pico (no mention of an additional charge) but also the salsa the server brought on her on. Complained to staff. One said they would remove it but the male waiter said no. Inflation!! So, we took it of his tip. Principle!! Definitely enjoyed Bette's Place much better!!

Veggie Benedict
Ilona S.

Absolutely amazing food and super attentive service in a fun restaurant with a view of Mt Adams in the distance. Food was superb and I highly recommend giving them a try for breakfast. I had the veggie Benedict with avocado with perfect poached eggs. My husband had the chili rellenos tacos which were out-of-this-world scrumptious. Seating inside or out. Parking available also across the street.

Bloody Hangover

Great find! Large portions, good flavor, and delicious Bloody Hangover. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Definitely not marionberry pie

Plenty of parking in a lot across the street and pleasant staff. I'm sure the breakfast experience is amazing but I ended up here in the evening. Food was ok but ordered a slice of marionberry pie and was given strawberry rhubarb. When I pointed it out to our waitress, her exact response was "But the cook said it was marionberry." Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying as it was not what I ordered and also didn't taste good.

Fresh Vegetable Skillet

Egg River is a classic brunch spot. My friends and I arrived around 8:30 on a Sunday, the place was busy but we sat down quickly. Most of the staff is quite young about high school age, they were all friendly and attentive. The menu does include gluten free toast, but the items are not clearly labeled if they are gluten free or not. FYI, if you are gluten sensitive, stay away from county gravy as this is typically not gluten free. The restaurant has homey decoration like you would see at your grandmas house. The food was just alright. The orange juice was a bit watery and not very flavorful. I ordered a vegetable scramble and was pretty underwhelmed with the dish. Not a ton of flavor. Good portion size. My partner ordered the sopes that they had for a breakfast special, he enjoyed his dish. We were a little confused by the random chicken wing in the center of the plate. Overall pretty decent breakfast spot.

Veggie Burrito
Lauren E.

Cozy, warm and very enjoyable brunch spot in Hood River. This is my 2nd time here and I just want to keep coming back. I had the Reuben sandwich as my first meal here and it was amazing. I remember the sandwich just melting in my mouth and the house potatoes we on a skillet with grilled veggies (sort of a Tex-mex grill). Overall very delicious. This time, today, I ordered the salmon avocado toast with a chai tea latte, and it was pretty much the same experience. Very delicious and a melt in your mouth experience with the poached egg. Highly recommended and I will definitely be coming back:)

Do they take reservations?

No, they do not. This is a breakfast/lunch joint that is primarily known for their breakfasts. I have always gone a little bit late for breakfast or early for lunch and still had breakfast. I haven't had a problem getting in.

I'd give Riverside Restaurant a solid 4.5 stars based on our breakfast visit…read more I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were excellent, flavorful, still pleasantly crunchy where they should be, and just a really strong version of the dish. Definitely the standout of the table for me. Service was friendly and expedient, which I always appreciate in the morning when everyone is trying to get caffeinated and out the door. My companions ordered the protein bowl, which was a hearty mix of grains and grilled vegetables with your choice of tofu or egg. It leaned a little bland flavor-wise, but it did exactly what it needed to do: provided a filling, healthy base for a full day of activity in Hood River. Not every dish was a knockout, but overall it was a very solid breakfast spot with fair pricing at about $18 per dish.

We arrived at about 4:40 pm. Their happy hour runs until 5:00 pm. We asked the server about…read moreordering off the happyhour menu and he said we couldn't. One of the members of our group told him that she was told that we could order until 5:00 pm. Server said OK and left. He didn't come back until after 5:00 and took the happy hour menus and said we couldn't order off of that menu. It was pretty much down hill from there on for me. The food was OK nothing to write home about. I had lemonade for dinner it was $6.00 a glass and if you wanted another glass it was 6.00 again. They also included the tip on your bill and it was 22%. The server did not earn that high of a tip.

My husband had the Italian, which he loved. My grandson had the grilled cheese and it was loaded with everything he loved, cheese! A fantastic discovery, as we were driving out of town.

I have celiac and they assured me it would be safe for me to eat here. I know not all restaurants…read moreare trained in how to prepare food for allergies or celiac but this was the most absurd experience i've ever had eating at a restaurant. If it's not safe i'd rather someone just tell me. This kid wrote down "celiac" 3 different times acted like he understood what celiac was and the precautions. I think received my sandwich and asked if it was the gluten free bread, he looks at me like that was the craziest thing to ask. Takes it back comes back out with the gluten free bread on the same plate and told me to change the bread off the sandwich which is not at all how celiac works. He then took it back a third time after i asked for a refund and told me it was gluten free but it was the same bread as the first time. I know this review won't help everyone but hopefully it'll help someone. I saw a few other people with celiac said it was safe and i'm glad they had a good experience. But I got incredibly sick and it's insane to me that they didn't just tell me no. Will now be sick for 3 days so thanks.
