Good local spot in a pinch. Made the mistake of coming to Homer towards the end of the season so 90% of the restaurants in town were closed until next year. Luckily River Cafe came to save the day. While the flavor of the food wasn't necessarily incredible, it was a huge burrito for the price and the staff was super nice. Seemed like they stuffed a whole burger's worth of ground meat into the thing. Cool little local jaunt that was there when we needed it. Would likely come back if I was feeling a little extra hungry. read more

Wow this breakfast was very very good! I ordered Moco Loco my hubby had the River Skillet and my mom had corned beef hash. They were all served with small amount of micro greens and cottage cheese and slice of orange which was equally delightful. Amounts of food were definitely worth the price and coffee was free which is almost unheard of in Homer. Small dine in area that was cozy and open seven days a week! Will be going back!! read more

The locals love this place and it is a gem!!!Best breakfast/brunch in town! Biscuits and gravy are delicious! I am a southern girl and I know biscuits and gravy! Also tried the club sandwich and it's really great too! I highly recommend River Cafe! Food is wonderful every time and the staff is by far the best in town!! Anna, who served our group was truly delightful! They go out of there way to accommodate you, even when they are really busy! I have NOT found that to be the case with several other restaurants in Homer! They also offer Pre Prepared LUNCH BOXES! PERFECT to take on a long day of fishing or long day of exploring the beauty of Homer!! Highly recommend!! read more

THEE BEST bacon breakfast sandwich EVER! :)

11/10. Food was amazing, staff was so friendly - plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and quick service. Will definitely be back.

We ate here for breakfast once and this was the only place for breakfast the rest the of the week. several lunches as well. The hospitality was every bit as good as the food including the reindeer sausage. That was a year ago. Booking vacation now and already have the River Cafe on the itinerary. I can't wait to be back. read more

Great service and attitude, even tho struggling to find good employees. Small husband/wife team, but will return, easily and definitely recommend you giving them business. Great job, guys!! read more

Quaint little place run by friendly husband and wife team who live next door. Varied menu. We came for a weekday brunch. Believe they make their own bread. 3 of us loved the monte crisco, another had large serving of corned beef hash. Very solid choice! read more

We stopped in here for breakfast on our way out of Homer. The menu was pretty extensive. We went with a grilled cheese and ham and an order of the biscuits and gravy. Both were excellent and prepared quickly. Service was friendly. Would definitely come back. read more

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

Our group tried here after our first choice was closed and we are glad they were! There are 3 tables inside the building and it was first come first serve. We were lucky to get a table. They offer a wide variety of options for breakfast and lunch. Our group ordered the moco loco, breakfast skillet, biscuits and gravy and the French toast. Food was delicious and came out super fast! Water and coffee were no charge. We liked it so much we came back to eat on our way out of town. read more

Great little breakfast spot. This was our first meal in Homer. We got it to go and had breakfast back at our hotel overlooking the bay. A little pricey, but the locals need to make money in the short season. Service with a smile! read more

Bomb breakfast burrito and free(!) coffee. Reindeer skillet breakfast looked amazing as well. Fast service.

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

Wonderful breakfast! This place is tiny but there is additional seating outside. We tried the Loco Moco and the breakfast Monte Cristo and enjoyed them both ... coffee is complimentary and the portions are tasty and plentiful, and the folks who run it are really nice. Would return! read more

So lucky to have found this cafe. Was so craving pancakes. Oh boy! Their sourdough pancakes were so light and fluffy. And,! It's was all you can eat. I wished for a second stomach so I could eat just one more bite . And, if you dine in, coffee and tea is in the house. I've never had that. Must try in Homer, AK Oh, by the way, the CINNAMON ROLLS are ALASKAN Size. Omg. read more

Amazing food and service. Coffee on the house with eat-in. Had the Denver scramble and a Traditional breakfast. Delicious local atmosphere! Ready for a walk at the spit. read more

We were visiting Homer and found this place! We loved the atmosphere of a mom and pop place! The customer service was above and beyond. The food was amazing! Big servings and great taste! Ate here two days in a row for breakfast. Go to for us was the Southwest burrito and Brad's burrito. Pancakes are all you can eat, which were amazing! Also, coffee is free just like the good ole days! Can't go wrong with this place! I would give more stars, but this was all that I was allowed. I would encourage everyone to eat here! read more

Awesome local place. 6 tables or takeout.Great lunch for the 6 In our party. Burritos, salads and Rueben's were awesome.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Homer. The food is great every time and also fast and friendly service.

Best place in town! Love the breakfast sandwich. The owners are so so friendly! The outdoor space is amazing!

Food was delicious and the service was great!! It was fast and friendly! I will absolutely be back!!

We were in town on a Tuesday from Seward to watch a track meet. Not too much open on Mon/Tue for breakfast, but the reviews for this place were good so we stopped. Don't judge the place from the outside - the food is excellent! Fresh food that is well-prepared and delicious. Free coffee if you're dining in. A real hidden gem! We will come back when we return to Homer. read more

Nice spot for a fast delicious breakfast. Loved the homemade sausage patties. A Homer must.

Man, oh man, what a great stop! We drove from Seward to Homer and decided to give this place a try based solely on the menu and we're really glad that we did. We both got the Aztec taco, so that's the only thing we really tried, but it was absolutely delicious and worth every minute and mile that we drove that day. It's a nice cozy little place with a very friendly staff and an easy-going atmosphere. Absolutely worth your time and money! read more

Good, quick food! They were a super cool restaurant with a complimentary coffee and tea bar. They have outdoor seating in the back if you want a view to accompany your tasty meal. read more

I must say our bar was low for expectations. Very touristy vibe but very tasty too! We all had fresh fish even a dozen oysters and everything hit the mark tonight. I would recommend. Even our waitress Kirsten, warmed up to four semi inebriated old college buddies. Easy choice on the Homer Spit for Fred quality seafood! read more

We were so happy to dine at the River Cafe! Perfectly made food- plenty of flavor, crispy sausages, and a warm atmosphere. Cute Alaskan husky in the parking lot that greets everyone. Super excited about this gem. read more
