    French onion smash melt GET IT! Best patty melt of your life
    Lara B.

    Wow a surprisingly delicious meal. Hiding in plain view in an office building The view is so tranquil and we thought the food would be at least good from prior reviews but it was great My steak caprese was huge and the steak was perfectly cooked and super juicy The buffalo chicken salad has amazing breading plenty of sauce and crisp greens I was told the French onion smash was a perfect combo of a patty melt and a French dip And the Mac n cheese was gooey cooper sharp tastiness Cocktails were lovely And our service was friendly and on point Great experience and highly recommend River Grille

    We stopped here for a casual brunch suggested by a family member. We were given the option of indoor or outdoor seating and chose outdoor. We had a beautiful view of the river. Although seated quickly, our waitress was hit or miss. She only came to take our order and give the check. The rest of the outdoor seating seemed to have great service from their waiters so it seemed we were the unlucky table. The bloody Mary's were delicious. I would recommend their house bloody for only $6. We split the chicken and waffles along with the hangover smash burger. The food was fantastic and extremely filling.

    The steak caprese salad

    Today's lunch was a nice one. I have had some negative experiences before, however today was great. The steak caprese salad was bomb. I had to steer clear of the cocktails because some bad experiences were bad. But today is a new day and I'm so thankful we stopped It. Shout out to Lauren! Super attentive and prompt. The atmosphere is the best part tho. It is February and I'm loving the view.

    Beautiful view!!

    What a find! I was looking on YELP for water front restaurants and saw this. Only half an hour from us so in the car we go! The service was great and the food. $5 bloody Mary's for brunch! We enjoyed the view and busy atmosphere! We will be back!

    The service here is ... weird. We asked for iced coffee and the waitress was scared. She was trying to make excuses to why they dont make a simple iced coffee then offered to bring hot w ice on the side lmao. Also the toast last yr was beautiful and this year was very cold dry stale and bad. The rest of the food wasnt as good either. What happened? Good part is the view of the river

    Bloody Mary's and the river
    Victoria C.

    Yes, please should have 10 stars out of five! I can't believe they don't have a 100% perfect reading, the view is awesome, and the food is to die for! So glad we came across this place. Passing through, I wish we lived closer. I would come here regularl.

    Mutant brewery is a local casual pubesque bar in the heart of downtown. I've been here pretty often…read morew friends. Tons of events and trivia in their schedule for folks looking for a night out on weekdays or weekends. The interior is mildly psychedelic with music. The food was fine. We got the burger and nachos. I was between giving 3 and 4 stars. Service was slow but the venue was busy, there was an event, and the night crew was picking up when we were there. The buffalo chicken nachos were fine. We appreciated the crispiness of the tortilla chips and the excellent cheese sauce that was well-distributed on the chips. There was tomato among other veggies that I do not remember. The chicken was fine for me on a cut. However, it had the texture of boiled chicken which I wasn't a huge fan of. Still had to get my protein in. I really enjoyed the burger. The bun was a soft potato roll. The patty was a little cooler. Between a cold burger and soggy nachos I certainly would choose the cool burger. This was made up for with the large volume of burger that was deliciously crispy. The pickles accompanied the burger with a secret mayo-based burger sauce. If warm, it could be a 5/5 burger. Overall, the experience was fine. I would go here on a week day rather than 6 on Friday, though.

I would say that this is probably the best deep dish pizza that I've tried in a while and I used to live in the Midwest. The crust was super crunchy and very buttery, which is great. You could definitely taste a jar of the cheese on the side and the crispiness of the bottom of the crust not only that, but I felt like the toppings were just amount of flavor. There was onions on there. There was corn on there. It just felt very very hearty. it's definitely heavy dish but it hits a spot if you're looking for a deep dish pizza they did it very well. I would definitely come back for this steep dish pizza and honestly, I could only get through two slices on my own definitely enough for two people to eat comfortably and not that expensive too was 13 bucks

We got the Korean dumplings which were very good with Asian zing sauce on them. We also got their nachos which were soggy towards the bottom but had good flavor with bbq sauce and pulled pork. Now they don't offer pulled pork sandwiches but have pull pork on the nachos. My fish and chips were soooooo salty! The tartar sauce was good and French fries. The breading was also soggy but the fish was very tender and nice. The chicken cheesesteaks were good, filling and yummy. The Ale Burger is a double smash burger with good flavor, and a good meal. The Buffalo Mac and cheese was spicy but enjoyable. The service wasssss slow and not very attentive. The manager had to come over and ask if we needed anything bc our server seemed to disappear.

We visit Jim Thorpe annually and were excited to try this place given its vegan options. When we entered the restaurant, the set-up was a little confusing. They did seat us pretty quickly though, and the service was probably the only positive to this experience. My husband and I both ordered cocktails; he had the Manhattan while I had a special vodka drink they were offering that day. Our drinks were overall fine but not anything special. My husband's Manhattan was very basic tasting. The menu and the food were the worst parts. The menu is unnecessarily long and phony sounding, like they are trying to be quirky but just come across as fake and condescending. There's extra, unnecessary description of the food that makes the menu difficult and frankly annoying to review. We ordered the bread teaser as well as the hummus. The pesto and the hummus were basic store level quality. The bread was definitely undercooked. For our entrees, we ordered the Cleopatra salad and a pasta dish. The salad tasted fine enough but it was basically just romaine lettuce with a very light dusting of nutritional yeast, vegan cheese, and a very low amount of chickpeas/protein. The pasta was an absolute travesty. It was extremely oily, flavorless, and bland. To top it all off, the food is extremely expensive! They have absolutely no business charging that much. The interior of the place is also a waste of space. It doesn't make any sense that it calls itself a pub. There's also stupid decor everywhere, including a sign that says "no" leading out to an employee-only location. I guess that's supposed to be funny but just comes across as condescending. It's a shame that this place has such a good location with Jim Thorpe and apparently can make a pretty penny serving subpar food and weird vibes. Don't waste your money.
