Great customer service My wife and went for dinner the very first time and have been back many times since cause the food is always delicious and the staff is very friendly. Rumor has it they might be opening a 2nd location and we wish them the best but hope it is a new location and not a relocation hope they stay in Duncan read more

Looking for good local eating for the Duncan/Reidville folks? This is a good place to start. The cafe has your usual sandwich, soup and salad options in addition to coffee, appetizers, and a specials menu. I tried the chicken quesadilla and fish tacos with a friend and I'm really a big fan of cafes/restaurants that do the simple items very well. One critique I'd like for them to consider is leave a post on their restaurant door when closed for special occasions. I tried to visit once only to find out later from a friend than they posted the restaurant was closed for almost a week on Facebook. Not everyone uses Facebook! If you like supporting local like I do and like good cafe food, this is worth a visit. I will be back to try their sandwiches and follow up on a review them. read more

We popped in for a quick lunch. They have nice menu selections as well as daily specials. We opted for sandwiches which were fresh and delicious. They have a large selection of sides as well. Service was fine as there was one person handling all orders. It's a cute place inside and clean. Recommend! read more

A casual lunch turns into me finding my new favorite casual go to. The menu had a lot of great options and then our server read us the special. At least 3 Brunch & 3-4 lunch as well. I was thinking wow I love having options! I ordered the Blackened Pork Chop, Black Beans and Rice, Broccoli. Y'all when I say this pork chop was big, seasoned well and juicy. The Black Beans and Rice also seasoned nicely and delicious. My husband had the Cuban Sandwich with Potato Salad. His sandwich was delicious and he said only thing he would do is ask for a little more mustard next time. As a former chef and a pretty good cook I'm always looking for good home cooked food with some twist and this place has it! One hard working man pulling it all off and our server was super nice and helpful. I've already told my husband this is where I want to have my birthday dinner because I know I'll have a great meal! With all of the options this will definitely be in our usual rotation. Kudos to this place for making good quality food that would make your mama proud! read more

Excellent service and delicious food! I highly recommend the salmon. The potato salad and broccoli were the perfect sides.

There were only several customers when we sat down. I ordered a chicken BLT and my wife ordered nachos. others came in after we did, and they got their food before us. It took 30 minutes for me to get my sandwich, and another 10 minutes to get nachos. The food and the service were terrible, and the place was dark and looked dirty. We won't be back. read more

The shrimp and grits were amazing! The service was great and the food came out quick but still fresh. Highly recommend read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our lunch today. I had the bourbon bacon cheeseburger. My husband had the French Dip. We had biscotti cheesecake for desert. Everything was delicious.

Wine, beer, tea etc. This was our first visit but will not be our last. Service was great. Accommodating. Ambience was comfortable . Enjoyed the music playing. Looking forward to returning for the homemade banana pudding. read more

This is definitely worth a visit! The management and staff are top-notch and very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very nice and casual but still a good place for dates and stuff a little more formal I had the tiger rib river barbecue chicken and we also had the pork chops which were really big. Both were cooked perfectly and definitely worth the 40 minute drive. read more

The food here is always great, very tasty and well prepared. The service is good it's a mom and pop shop so it seems like it's mostly a family running it. The ambiance inside is wonderful, very nice all around and has a bit of a rustic feeling but it doesn't feel bad. This place is great for what it is, a nice little restaurant with a good vibe. Seating is limited and can get crowded at times. read more

THIS CAFE IS A GEM! Don't hesitate to get off the highway to dine here if you are traveling. The owner/chef has super fresh ingredients, and the portions are just right. Best sauce ever on the shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We also had the carbonara, which featured a good amount of bacon, smoked ham, cheese and fresh broccoli florets. The wait staff is delightful, very friendly and welcoming. You'll love the tunes also! Don't let the tiny front appearance fool you. I'm already wishing I lived closer so I could come back more often! Kudos to this local business. Just awesome!! read more

This spot has become a family favorite! The service is always quick and personable. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. And the food-the food is always freshly prepared and well seasoned. We've been a couple of times now and have tried a variety of items and loved each one! read more

The food is outstanding. Specials every night. Menu features Soups, salads, apps, sandwiches, seafood, pasta. Ambiance is friendly and welcoming. Servers are knowledgeable and helpful with menu. Inside is small and cozy. There are also tables out on a front patio for warm weather dining. We had a nightly special which was a pasta, with steak and grilled asparagus ($20). Also a Cuban sandwich with pasta salad ($10). The Cuban was hot, crispy and flavorful. The pasta salad side was very good. A nice "neighborhood" restaurant perfect for lunch or dinner. Beer & Wine Happy Hour 4-7 $1 off. read more

All the right stuff! Great food great atmosphere and wonderful service!!! My new favorite lunch spot!!

Salmon dinner was very delicious, says my husband. My chicken tortilla soup was very good. The chicken Alfredo was very bland. They gave me Parmesan to put on top. It helped a little but not near as good as if it has been freshly grated. I personally would not go back if it was for the chicken Alfredo. Atmosphere , not so great. They played music but they had the television going at the same time and you could hear the television also Not pleasant to the ear while you are trying to enjoy a meal out! Service was very good. read more

I threatened to move in. I think that pretty much tells you what you need to know. The food is excellent. The staff really could not have been nicer. I order their special of steak with cream gravy and sides, but I will not deny longing gazing at my cohort's Jamaican pasta dish. Got to taste it, whoa...so yummy. The background music gave me flashbacks of old Motown 45's I used to have. My goal that day was to acclimate myself with some of the coffee shops in the area I'd not explored yet, and this one popped up due to the previous ownership and old tags I guess? I am SO glad it did. There is technically coffee and the cappuccino I ordered was wonderful, but that's not my main draw when we went back several days later. read more

Staff and Chefs are wonderful. Food is yum! Something for everyone. A must try. Will add spice or take a little away.

Crab cakes are awesome. Waitstaff is friendly and on top of things. Love that it's local to the Middle Tyger area. Small dining area but nice and always clean. read more

Can't say enough about this place! Food is exceptional, and a large variety of daily specialties. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Nice home like feels, in a cute rustic cafe atmosphere. Great local spot, and definitely worth the drive if not so close. The shrimp and grits is one of the best I've ever had! read more

Ordered coffee to go. Waited more than 10min just for coffee and paid over $6 for a cup of hot coffee (caramel latte), coffee tasted like water no flavor at all. Not sweet nothing ... basically paid $6 for watered coffee... read more

Service was a little slow, as there was only one waitress working, but the food was fabulous! We will definitely be back.

I just moved to the area, and this has easily become my family's favorite restaurant!!! Highly recommend!!! So far, we have tried the meatloaf special, a few steak specials, italian sandwich, shrimp quesadilla, chicken nachos, crabcake dinner special, and the chocolate cake! Everything tastes fresh and has been absolutely delicious!!! Their menu isn't huge, but they have lots of great specials each day. We have yet to try anything that we haven't loved. The owner and staff are all very friendly and accommodating! When I first moved here, he even gave us extra packs of plastic silverware to use until we had found and unpacked ours. Their customer service is outstanding and further sets them apart as one of the best local spots. It's a cute little restaurant with lots of friendly locals. We typically order to go, and it's nice that you can go in to pick-up or use their drive thru window. You can also call to check on their daily specials and to place your order. If you're in the area and haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out! read more

River Falls Cafe' staff was welcoming and personable. The food was very well prepared-fresh, hot, delicious! The prices are very reasonable. The owner clearly takes pride in the food. The waitress was great. If you live anywhere near Duncan, SC, make a point to have a meal at River Falls Cafe! You will be so glad that you did! read more

Best crab cakes that I have ever had! This place is small but the food is amazing! We sat outside and really enjoyed our dinner!

Food and service was great! Definitely will return soon. Thanks for the experience!

Very disappointing overall tonight. Meal of simple sandwiches took over 40 minutes to arrive. Portions were small and not tasty. And, we were then charged a '2% Hospitality Fee'. Will probably not return. read more

Great food. Pretty quick service and the specials change daily. Get there early for lunch so that they don't run out of the AMAZING banana pudding! Good for work lunches as well :) read more

We went for a fast but good lunch. We were not disappointed! Good food, very quaint, extremely friendly and great service! Highly recommend read more

I can definitely confirm that River Falls Cafe lived up to expectations and to the glowing reviews online. The service from Hannah and Ike was top notch. They were absolute delights to chat and banter with. All four of us loved our meals. My wife said her shrimp and grits was indeed some the best she'd ever had. My steak special was equally awesome. We felt that prices were quite fair for the quantity of food received. The ambiance is very quaint and homey. Bottom line? We will definitely return and bring more friends. read more

I was in Duncan on business, and ran into River Falls on Yelp. Soooo happy I stopped in. The place has this lovely, laid back vibe. The staff was warm and personable. And the menu was a nice mix of sandwiches and night specials. I had a blackened pork chop which was tender and flavorful (and got some nicely prepared veggies with it). It's so nice to find a locally owned restaurant with good food and nice personality. (My only disappointment was they had run out of their banana pudding.) :) read more

Great food excellent service great selection available freshly prepared would recommend for a great meal!

My mother and I were driving through Duncan and found this gem of a restaurant. We had the crab cake sliders. OMG! Best crab cakes I've ever had! I'll be craving these for a very long time. We had a very friendly server. We honestly thought he might be overselling the menu. But he knew it was good stuff. We finished our meal with a serving of banana pudding. Whipped cream was made fresh. In fact, fresh and tasty is exactly how I would describe our meal. read more

Excellent service and good food. So friendly, I will be sure to eat here again. And they were so attentive to my pup!
