I will honestly even make the trip up just to come hang out at River City. When you walk inside you have a hostess stand where someone is waiting the help you out. Everyone that we had contact with employee wise were great. Everyone was helpful, kind, and professional We ate first while we waited for our lanes to be open. There is absolutely no complaint about the food here. Everything was great. I had a BLT sandwich. It was jam packed with crispy bacon that I asked for, lettuce, tomato, mayo sandwiched between 2 thick slices of bread. The pizzas looked delicious. They are made in a fire pizza oven. All of the food came out piping hot. Out waitress was great. She was attentive and made sure everything came out, and our drinks were always filled. The waffles were a perfect sweetness, and had a good amount of berries and paired with syrup that I think was maple syrup. My friends, and husband raved about their drink with alcohol. So kudos to the bartenders. The dry rub wings had a great crispy to them and they did not lack seasoning. Lastly, get the cheddar biscuits. They are made fresh, and had great flavor. They had scoop of butter, grape and strawberry jelly. When it came time for bowling. Our bill and drinks were transferred over to the alley tab. Our shoes were waiting for us at the lanes. Bowling was a breeze, and navigating the computer system to keep score was easy. The seating in the alleys were leather couches, and a table to have food at. There was a waitress walking around getting anything we needs, like food, drinks or problems that needed to be solved. Bathrooms were clean and amusing with signage. It made me giggle. The supplies were well stocked. The alleys and property inside and out were very clean. The surrounding area seems to be making a change, but it is still questionable in some areas, and there is a lot of construction nearby. I always felt safe though. There was a misunderstanding with the reservation process and turns out we never had a reservation. Either way Ben stepped up and just made things right. He was great. He took care of us. Customer service is over 5 stars!

The patio outside was really cute and cozy, the various seating areas is really great because you get a different feel from different angles. Our server recommended a Mexican lager.. it was SO GOOD! Try the lager!! My only gripe, the downtempo music changed to club music around 12am and got much louder. My date and I had to raise our voices to continue our conversation, we wanted to take our drinks outside but were told the patio closes at 11 :( We got lucky as the crowd was really thin but most weekends our server said it gets packed.. it's such a small place, I can't imagine what it would be like with 100 people inside!!

There's a cool greenery area located directly in front with a few picnic benches and umbrellas, perfect for enjoying the warm weather. We tried the chip shot (chips with salsa verde and queso dips), pizzas, and wings (Korean bbq and spicy Asian). I wasn't a fan of the queso, it was room temperature, had a weird consistency, and no flavor. The wings were pretty good and literally were falling off of the bone. The pizza was excellent! I ordered cheese pizza and added provolone and queso fresco. I definitely wasn't expecting the pizza to be that good so it was a nice surprise. A dj was also playing a mix of house/90's hits that we enjoyed as well. Our bartender was super sweet and did a great job taking our orders, remembering our modifications, and checking on us! Will definitely be back! Kaicee our bartender, took care of us

Pink room is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to and show it off when you have friends or family visiting!

It's a little tight in there and as a larger guy things can get cramped but you'll get over it once you see the menu. Their drink menu has some great combos on there. They have specials and this night they had a champagne creamsicle which was really refreshing and pretty strong which I'm a fan of. I also picked up their birds of a feather (big rum fan) and that thang was smooth. It felt like family in there its really good vibes, everyone is so nice, I literally felt at home like I was hanging out with friends. Great spot if you want to be chill and just vibe out with some good company.

The Pasta was absolutely mouthwatering, and the portion size was not only filling but gave me enough for another meal. While I sat and ate by myself I wasn't alone for long. The place was filled with many friendly regulars and workers. I enjoyed the conversation and even stayed for a few drinks. In the back there is a game room that has basketball, pool, darts, and corn hole. Throughout the inside there are many tv scattered around. In one area you will find a collection of tv and about 6 couches. One thing I also thinks deserves mentioning is that they have two women's bathrooms. I have never had to wait which I feel is a common problem in bars for women.

A hidden gem behind the bookshelf door; completely candle-lit, dim, cozy, and very romantic with jazz music playing. My husband is highly allergic to shrimp and has an aversion to onions. They took our concerns into consideration and offered some suggestions from their vast menu selection featuring excellent roasted chicken options, steaks, and pork chops. Everything was made entirely to order. My husband ordered the chicken piccata and was able substitute the asparagus for mashed potatoes; I ordered the pork belly, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. This was the BEST meal and perfect ending to our day. We spent the entire day celebrating our 19 year anniversary! Grandstaff was actually our second option and being disappointed at a previous restaurant (whose name is not worth mentioning). We will DEFINITELY visit this beautiful restaurant again. Special thanks to Rebecca, Dolly, and Francis for making this day memorable

The parking is a sh*t show around here. We walked here, so I can't fault them for that…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by an enthusiastic young man dedicated to his role. He asked for the password and we, unprepared, had to tell him a joke or an interesting fact. Luckily, my partner had one on hand. The atmosphere was lovely, very reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, or at least what you'd imagine it to be like. Our server came by within a few minutes of us being seated. She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere. The view was lovely and the intimacy of the setting was a welcome experience. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, and it was tasty, though nothing special. The burned odor that we smelled prior to its arrival turned out to be the bread. I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.
