Mo C.

Delicious! A sign on the outside of the building said, Fast casual dining. I agree. There is inside and outside seating. Self serve coffee and water. Food was quick! Monte Cristo was tasty, turkey and cheese sitting between 2 thick slices of French toast mmm deliciousness! Too big for me to finish so half left with me.

My bagel was pretty darn good. My husband's sausage and gravy was horrible. It had very little meat in it and had a smoky flavor rather than a sausage flavor- it was weird and not in a good way. The complimentary coffee was also super watery. Given that you have to bus your own table, I was expecting service to be quicker than it was. We waited about 15 minutes for our food. There's only about 8 tiny tables inside (and a nice patio, which had no people in it when we were there,) so I'm not sure why the wait was so long for such simple items. I'd probably give this place another shot because they had some interesting items I've not seen before, but my husband will refuse to go back because his was so bad. Oh well..

These bozos just served me two pieces of toasted bread in place of FRENCH TOAST. Do y'all see any egg here?? No, because there is none! Just paid over $15 just to throw this right into the trash. You have to be a special kind of stupid not to be able to make French toast, one of the easiest breakfast items to prepare. Take your business elsewhere, trust me, this place is a joke. With all due.

We came down for a long weekend and ended up eating here twice because it was so tasty. Fast, friendly service. Great food, fresh ingredients, expansive menu. Day one was breakfast, and we had the Monte Cristo, biscuits and gravy, and the scramble. All were fabulous. But we saw someone eating the SW chicken burrito and had immediate FOMO. So of course we went back. Get the burrito!!! IT WAS DIVINE! The kiddo has the grilled cheese with ham and ate it so fast I'm not sure he chewed it.

Not sure why my breakfast went so wrong ordered over medium eggs. I was served way over easy (raw) eggs. I had broke yolk and it was runny white. So I returned and asked politely for over medium. The cook took my existing eggs and refried them. Served to me still uncooked but crunchy. Free hint, when someone returns eggs cooked wrong, redo with new eggs. Worst $24 breakfast!

Cowboy skillet (front) Classic breakfast (back right) French toast (back left)

If you are in Homer looking for a delicious homestyle breakfast, COME HERE. My goodness. River Cafe has a versatile menu, excellent service, and the outdoor dining area is very nice and quaint. I just finished my Cowboy Skillet, and I swear I'm gonna be full for at least half of the day. Incredible meal!

Omg. So good that I had to come leave a review. The lady that helped us was also the sweetest.

We visited Homer today and glad we found this place for breakfast and lunch. The inside dining area is limited but on a sunny day they have more seating at the back. The dining area is clean and maintained. The food is good but a bit too pricey. After leaving we noticed that they offer drive thru if you are in a rush.

My husband and I came here on a Saturday morning for breakfast. We had a tour meeting at seven, so we arrived at River Cafe right as they opened at 6:30. My husband got the half order of biscuits and gravy, and I got a breakfast sandwich. Our food came out within a few minutes, and we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious and well made, and there were plenty of options for take out, if we needed something for the trip. We would definitely come back. read more

We are traveling with our dog and haven't been very lucky with the weather for outdoor dining, so finding this gem of a place was so really nice. They have plenty of outdoor seating, all day breakfast and a great assortment of lunch options. My husband was so pleased with the corned beef hash, he had it two more times while we were in Homer. I had the biscuits and gravy, which were absolutely delicious. On my second visit, I had the lamb tacos, which were divine. The staff is super friendly, the service was fast, the price is fair and the coffee is free. Do yourself a favor and eat here whether your visiting or living in Homer, you won't be sorry! read more

We had an amazing experience! The food was incredible--everything is cooked over wood, which gives it a fantastic flavor. The desserts were absolutely delicious, and the customer service was top-notch. The owner went above and beyond by making homemade ranch just for our kids, which they loved! One thing we didn't quite understand was why we weren't allowed to order drinks out of the cooler--they told us they weren't allowed to sell them. That was a bit confusing, but it didn't take away from the overall great experience. Highly recommend for both the food and the hospitality! read more

I love River Cafe! We usually get food to go, just because we'd rather eat at home. We've tried almost everything, but tend lean towards sandwiches and soup. They have a great variety, and know how to make good food. They make their own cinnamon rolls (drool worthy) and their breads are yummy! Breakfasts are just as you order, and are served all day (I love their cornbeef hash and eggs, and I'm fussy about both). Prices are reasonable, servings are huge. Give it a try! read more
