Stopped here on a Friday afternoon around 2:30 and my party were the only ones there. I had the Shotgun Shrimp and the Nachos with chicken. the 2 others in my group had Chicken Tenders & Fries, Rival SmashBurger and Rival Stix. The Shrimp was reminiscent of Bang Bang shrimp. Its a decent serving size for an appetizer. I enjoyed it. The nachos were surprisingly tasty. When they came out I was unsure about them because any other time I've ever ordered a loaded type nacho they're, how do I explain it, more colorful I guess. Usually its like bacon and American cheese, guac, pico, etc., but these were just shades of white and green. I wish I could've finished them but the portion was quite a bit for 1 person. My only gripe would be the chicken. It reminded me of the meat you get in a launchable. I think I would rather prefer a crispy diced chicken. But that's just me. The other 2 didn't have any complaints about the Rival Stix or the burger. The Chicken Tenders were said to not have much flavor in the breading. The person who ordered them didn't care for the breading. I was also tempted into some sort of creme brulee donut I think. It was really good but I was already so stuffed from the nachos that I couldn't finish it. Its for the sweet tooth folks. The general space is all sports themed as expected. Quite spacious. Seems like the perfect place to come after work for a beer...and nachos! read more

Our service for the Super Bowl with a large group was amazing. I wish I remembered our waitress's name. She was so sweet and service was great too. Our table tried a lot more of the food including a pizza with the garlic sauce instead of red sauce (delicious), crème brûlée donut (amazing), spinach dip (decent and much better than it looked), brownie sundae (looked great and friends said it was), nachos (also looked good and included lettuce, which is a nice touch). The drinks were also very good! The sound wasn't the best for the Super Bowl/commercials. I couldn't hear some of what was said in commercials, but I record the game, so I'll watch some of them again later. I still hope we go there again next year for the Super Bowl. It was a lot of fun. read more

I wished I would have stopped in sooner! The setup and theming are great for watching any sporting event. The first time I stopped in, the Smashburger and fries were impressive. The burger was juicy and the Rival Sauce was some kind of aioli that added some zip to it. The fries were crispy but not overcooked. The Great White Hype pizza was basic. Nothing outstanding, but not bad either. I have been to this location three times and I would say the food has been hit-or-miss. Service has also been spotty. During lunch (my first trip), our waitress was very attentive, drinks were consistently refilled, and our food came out promptly. The second time, I had to flag down our waitress quite several times to get anything. Nothing to complain about when it comes to the prices. Everything is standard and they have some solid happy hour offerings that extend until 6:30pm while others start after 7pm. On a scale of 1-5: Food - 3 Service - 3.5 Price - 4.5 read more

We used Yelp to find another amazing place for dinner. We wanted to watch some football and eat good bar food...we found Rival. Our waitress in the bar area seemed a little preoccupied and forgot about us several times, but the ambience made up for it. We ordered chips and queso for an appetizer. We then ordered some wings and sweet potato tots. All were on the verge of great! read more

The food was just ok. I didn't like the horseradish sauce (I normally do) on the sandwich and the au jus had a weird flavor. The cheese also didn't work with the combination. The wings were decent but too expensive. The inside had lots of tvs for sporting events and the service was good. read more

I saw that this place replaced The Walnut Grill in Bridgeville so I really wanted to check them out. I looked online prior to coming in to see if they had Gluten Free options and they had a bunch! As you can see from the menu pictures I posted almost EVERYTHING has that option which is really nice! I sat at the bar and was greeted by the friendly Jacolynn! She made me an amazing Lemon Drop Martini and made sure everything was made right with the GF options I chose. I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted the Chicken or the Steak Nachos and she recommended the Steak and it did not disappoint! The next option is got was the Jalapeño Popper Dip. It normally comes with bread crumbs on top but she made sure it was made without them. It was sooooo good. Just a little greasy for me. The place was super cute on the inside and lots artwork on the walls. It also has a little arcade, LOTS of seating and a HUGE bar to sit at. I will totally be back to say hey to my girl Jacolynn! read more

Rival is a great spot for a good bar food meal or to watch a game with friends. The restaurant was super clean and everything has a new look to it. The setup inside is really cool. They have batting cages on some of the walls and a ton of sports memorabilia. They also have a bunch of games inside and out. My group started out with the jalepeno popper dip and shotgun shrimp. Both were delicious, however the portion sizes were very small. The jalapeño popper dip was only $9.99, so it is more understandable with this dish. However the shrimp appetizer was $13 for only 6 shrimp. For my meal I had hot buffalo and chipotle bbq wings. They were both outstanding. Super flavorful sauces with the perfect amounts of heat. The wings themselves were also cooked perfectly, with just enough crisp to them. Really good homemade ranch as well! read more

I had a horrible time here sitting here, right? I could've gone to Mo's over this but we order our food Wright wings fries burgers then an hour later we get our food meeting. These wings are gonna be good. I take one bite of my wings and it taste like metal My fries can come out 30 minutes later and i had to shove them down my throat. My throat burning with hot feeling down my throat.May allah come upon us on judgement day and we will have a proper conversation about this. read more

Very disappointed with both the food and takeout service. I ordered online for convenience with a pickup time of 7:27 PM, arrived a bit early, and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. I didn't receive my order until after 8:00 PM. Most of the food was cold. The wing order was almost all drumsticks with only one flat, and the French onion soup was cold with unmelted cheese. For nearly $130, this was extremely disappointing. read more

This place gets very mixed reviews from our family of 4. The environment is fun and the service was fast and friendly. We waited about 15 min for a table on a Saturday evening. My 13 year old, a self proclaimed food critic, gave his boneless wings 5 stars. The rest of us gave our traditional wings, chicken hoagie, and french dip handheld a 3 "at best". Even the truffle fries were disappointingly undercooked and lukewarm. I'm not sure that we would try this place again. Too many other options nearby. However, it is a good place to catch a game and get some "ok" bar food. read more

My friends and I came in yesterday to watch the Steelers game on the patio. While I think this place has potential, I think there are some kinks that need to be worked out. And I understand that since it's a new business. Let's start with the pros: Our waitresses were great! They checked on us regularly (without being too much) throughout the game and they were both really kind and smiling the whole time. The outdoor space is very nice. The portions are generous. Now, here are some cons: The patio space is nice, but it was difficult to watch the TVs with the sunlight. Additionally, the TV that is in the grass/firepit area could be larger so it is easier for everyone on the patio to see. We ordered the chicken nachos as an app, and while the portions were generous, my friends and I mentioned to each other that we didn't get any chicken. I'm not sure if it was missing all together or there was just a little bit of chicken on the nachos (since we didn't finish them). They put the fans on but they were dusty so we were worried about dust/cobwebs falling onto our table. Like I said, I think they have some kinks to work out. But I can see the potential. read more

Rival has potential but we had a lot of "misses" when we went for dinner on Sunday night. On the positive side: the food. My husband had the chicken avocado sandwich with fries, and I had the chipotle chicken cheesesteak with onion rings. We both enjoyed our meals and thought the portion size was nice. We also loved the "vibe". We were seated outside where there's a nice grassy area, a fire pit, and TVs all around. On the negative side: 1. They didn't have enough high chairs, so our under 2 year old was on our lap for the whole meal. 2. They were out of White Claws (which seems like a pretty normal drink staple to have). 3. Our server didn't check in on us once we received our food, including not refilling our drinks or bringing out more napkins. 4. There's an up charge for onion rings/tots, which is listed on the menu, but as a side, they're also the same price as the fries on the menu. 5. The spicy margarita tasted "off" and had lemons in it, which was a strange combination. It seems like they're still working out some of the kinks of a new restaurant. read more

We've ordered takeout from here multiple times and it's always been good. We decided to finally dine in to see how it was fresh. Server was friendly and quick although he didn't write anything down and therefore missed my substitution but it was fine. I enjoyed my grilled cheese although then not having hot sauce at a sports bar should be a crime. My favorite dish here is the jalapeño popper dip, it's delish! Just wish it came with maybe pita bread or something instead of thin chips. Atmosphere is fun though and they have a cool deck so I think we'll give it another shot when the weather gets better! read more

Typical bar food. The food doesn't really look like the picture on the menu. The wings were descent, but it was a bummer that they didn't have Captain Morgan rum. The cheesesteak was significantly smaller than on the menu. read more

I've tried to go to RIVAL twice. The first time was great. The second time it was pitch black and closed during advertised business hours. I went one evening during a Steelers game and the place was packed! We had to wait to get seated and there weren't too many people there without their black and yellow clothing on. Finally, a couple seats opened up. There is a full bar and about 20 beers on tap. A really nice menu, too -- I would recommend the chips and jalapeño dip. While this restaurant is still new, it seems promising. There aren't too many other popular sports bars in this area so I think it should do well. read more

Avoid the entrees here. Had the chicken parm and it came out cold, despite us arriving early (4:45) and the place mostly empty. I had to send it back. Mrs. Reviewer had the Philly cheese steak. (Lesson learned - don't order cheese steaks unless you are in Philly or at a place that specializes in them.) Hers was very dry, also not hot, had almost no cheese or onions, and was very small, almost kid sized but for $16. They are clearly pre-making the food, freezing it, and quickly heating it up when orders are placed. This is sub-standard and results in the food being cold and dried out. Also watch the "Happy Hour" pricing. Many drinks aren't discounted at all including tall sized beers. In short go elsewhere for real food. read more

Good food, local craft beers and cocktails. This is the perfect place to catch a game. Drink and food specials Monday -Friday!

You can't have common sence and at the same time call that a pizza. The sauce taste like chemicals and the consistency of water. I don't think you could pay me to eat this pizza again. The bottom was wetter than the water they gave me at the restaurant. It was very floppy. On a Dave Portnoy scale I think I would give it a 1 because he says 1 is more embarrassing than 0. Whoever made this pizza should be locked up for life cause of how bad it was. I don't know how anyone would eat that. If I was on an island stranded for a whole week and got a choice to eat the pizza or starve I would choose starving. I would rather eat fresh cow monour than this garbage. Whoever made this pizza is the laziest person in the whole entire planet. read more

I truly always hope local places do well but in this case I'm just not sure based on my food. The French dip just wasn't hitting the spot for me. It had a weird sweet taste on bite then a bland nothing taste. The au jus wasn't helping this sandwich much. The fries were just that, Fries. At $15.49 I'd expect a quality sammich. Even though I didn't order dessert the pricing was astonishing to me. Creme Brule 10.49. Brownie 10.99. I hope those can feed 2 or 3. The server was good & tried really hard so I appreciated that. Sitting outside was nice as the weather was perfect. read more

This is the place that went in after the Walnut Grill. I stopped in last night for the first time. It has a great vibe with all the TVs so there's really not a bad spot to watch games/sports of your choice. They have a large bar to sit at, high tops and regular tables and a decent size patio too, which will be nice when it isn't so hot and humid out. Our server was great. He was very personable and had us laughing a few times. We got some apps and sandwiches and everything tasted great. My friend got the veggie wings even though she's not vegan. She wanted to try them because of the convo she had about them with the server and she said they were delicious and you wouldn't know they weren't meat. It's definitely a fun place to go relax and have some good food and drinks with friends. I'm sure it'll be a busy place when the local Friday night football season starts. read more

i'll definitely start off by saying that the place is fantastic. Atmosphere is great and as big of a sports fan that I am it is an awesome place to watch any sports that you desire. Plenty of TVs and the staff always accommodate me whenever I wanna watch a specific team of mine. To top it off Dominique, the bartender is also a great part of the place. Her smile, her service and her friendliness when asking for whatever I may need whether it's food or a beverage. Definitely would recommend returning many times to anyone unless you haven't experienced the place yet. Then I suggest you get there as soon as possible. read more

We were at Rival this past Friday at around 5:15. There was hardly anyone there for a nice day at happy hour. We ordered boneless chicken wings, a side salad, and a burger. I got boneless wings in the past as they were freshly breaded chicken. This time they passed off frozen chicken to me and they were awful. I also ordered them with Cajun rub and of course all they did was sprinkle the rub on top which doesn't hold on frozen chicken. Literally no flavor at all. My son also said his burger was 'ok' and you could tell it was a frozen patty and not fresh also. I still gave Rivals 3 stars as the service is always good and we love going to watch games and sit on the patio. However I don't recommend ordered food here. You can tell by the fact the place isn't busy on a Friday that other people have caught on to the food quality read more

The atmosphere was loud and very cramped. The food must have sat under a heat lamp for awhile and was not good at all.

Went here for first time with my friend.. they took the space of Walnut Grill so I have been wanting to try it.. made some cool changes to the place but loved the outdoor space with bar and lots of TVs. Marla our bartender was excellent, juggling the whole outdoor space and not missing a beat while chatting with us. The food was really good.. handhelds on a fresh Bagette, which was awesome... happy hour!! We will be back again! read more

Came in Sunday for the Pirates game. There was plenty of seating available at tables, but the bar was pretty packed. The outdoor space was pretty empty, due to the temperature. Our server was prompt and friendly. Our food came out quickly, the drinks were a little slower. I had the smashburger and fries. The burger patties were larger than I expected and cooked as requested. The Rival sauce was kind of like relish, ketchup, mayo mixed. Maybe some pickles? not spicy at all. I also tried a piece of the buffalo veggie wings on top of my friend's salad and they were crispy and delicious. You could hardly tell it wasn't real chicken. The fries were fine! I wish they had a little more salt. The spicy margarita wasn't very spicy. If you want it truly spicy, I'd ask for extra muddled jalapeños. The bathrooms were clean and most of the stalls had wave-to-flush systems installed. One last thing to note- they don't have the sounds of the game playing for the Pirates. They have background music going, but the game showing. The manager did say they include game sounds for basketball, hockey, and football games. read more

This is a new restaurant in the Bridgeville area. Let me say, it did not disappoint. The food is delicious! You need to try the jalapeño popper dip and either of the the cheesesteaks. They have a pretty good happy hour as well as daily drink specials. It was $4 draft beer and well drinks. On Fridays, they have $4 23 oz miller lite drafts all day. This seems like a great place to watch football games. They have a ton of tvs! The space itself is nice and updated. They have a nice, big inside bar. They also have a patio outside with a bar and some games like connect four. Overall, great experience. read more

Went to dinner here on Father's Day. It looked pretty good, but a little incomplete. We realized that it was their first day in business, so I guess we can let that slide. Their official opening wasn't even until the next day. The service was very slow and the portion size a bit small, but for the most part, the food was ok. The only odd thing was my French fries seem to have sugar sprinkled on them instead of salt. That was an unwelcome surprise! I know this place is new, but there are too many other really good places to go to go back here. read more
