Location. Location. Location. -- I gave it one star for each "Location" because otherwise, it wouldn't get more than two. The drinks are mostly good, some a a little pricey, the pint-sized drinks are just your normal 8/9 ounce drinks with more mixers in them -- read watered down. Atmosphere is wonderful and the owner is very pleasant. Too bad his staff is not so pleasant when he's not around -- surly, inattentive. This is the only place where I have on multiple occasions stiffed or severely under-tipped inattentive staff. So, why do a return? Read the first sentence. read more

I live in Florida and whenever I'm in town I make sure to stop here. The food is good, the atmosphere is nice and the servers are friendly. All that and reasonable prices, what more can you want. Except sitting outside above the Susquehanna. my server today, Krista is fantastic, ask for her and you'll be going back again and again. read more

Our server Shaqu was great. We got apple cider mimosas (seasonal) and raspberry mimosas. Every thing we got was great. Highly recommend we got the Wake and Bake, Veggie Omelette, Steak Caprese salad and Chicken and Waffles. read more

Oh my the seats! The first beautiful day since 2017 so we set off to see Kevin and find an outdoor patio. After a short wait at the bar we were seated at a propane fire pit 'table.' Good service, good drinks. The hangover hamburger and fiesta salad with a crab cake added on top were excellent. Great view of the muddy Susquehanna, and there was a lot of talent on this Sunday afternoon. The seats were so bad we left because if we sat in them much longer we would have begun to contemplate committing a felony. We'll be back but we'll bring cushions! read more

Cool atmosphere. Went after skiing and had good food and French onion soup was great. Seems like a reliable place to get good food in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I used to go here a lot. Brunch on Sunday is the best and their lunch is pretty good. Their dinners are honestly hit or miss. I've gone and had a great experience and the very next week, I went back and had a dry disgusting lobster tail that tasted like cardboard and wasted $25. Other entrees are ehhh. I haven't been back for anything since. Server Alexandra is incredible though--- she was pretty much the main reason we went so often ! read more

Love their brunch menu!! Their loaded mimosas are the best!!! Chicken and waffles was delicious also loved the egg burger with fries I also eat dinner here every once in a while, love their calamari the first time I had their lobster mac and cheese it was delicious but the second time it wasn't so good :( but they still get a 5 star in my book read more

Yummy food. We have eaten many meals there and never disappointed. We have a friend who works there and we try to have her as our waitress. GO CORRINE!!! The owners are great people and will do their best to assure the food, drinks, and atmosphere are perfect. read more

River Grille - Corrine and me :) - American Near Me - Plains, Pennsylvania

I decided to come here on my birthday. The waitress was so rude and not friendly at all. The service was horrible and they forgot food. By the time everybody at the table was served my fries became cold. My order was forgotten and the waitress never checked to see how we were doing. The waitress seemed annoyed when asked questions or told about the missing food items. Overall, bad taste and will not be coming back. Disappointed. Food was good though. read more

Uhhh-mazing place to go on the weekends if you're looking for something fun and different. A nice outside/indoor bar and JAY VELAR absolutely tears it up with his music diversity. Way to go guys ! read more

Amazing! Had lobster and caprese salad! Super perfectly cooked lobster and the caprese was fresh and goooorgeous

Robbie was super nice! Best place to be on a Saturday night. Thank you for a great time!

Eh... over-rated. Food was very good but waitress came and never came back till I asked another waitress. 45 min to get appetizers... one and done for us. read more

Attempted to go to River Street Jazz Cafe for dinner, but upon our arrival at 7:45pm, they had yet to even open; we ended up here. Light crowd in their dining area and moderate crowd in their bar and patio areas. There was an obnoxious prom going on outside below the waterfront patio where we were seated, which belongs to another business (we ended up moving inside after a while due to the chilly May evening breeze). Four dollar Long Island Iced Teas were big, but kind of weak (this is the Friday drink special). The regular drink prices were overall pretty good for a restaurant like this. Ordered a number of different dishes: - wing bites (in their unique "Polynesian" rosemary soy preparation) - "pizza" flatbread - crabcake sandwich & pasta salad - "signature" burger & sweet potato fries - oyster po' boy & coleslaw - banana bread french toast PB&J with ice cream Everything was at least OK. The rolls for each of the sandwiches left much to be desired. Cranberry mayo was undetectable on the burger, which was cooked exactly medium as requested. Pasta salad and coleslaw were very plain. Oyster po' boy... oil-saturated ocean-flavored tidbits. The real highlights of the meal were: - the rosemary soy sauce (though adding pineapple and making it more of a saucy glaze would have made it better), - the crabcake by itself (all lump, minimal filler, but begging for a zesty remoulade), - sweet potato fries (make sure you ask for them un-sugared, as the dipping sauce is more than sweet enough) The banana bread french toast PB&J deserves a standalone mention since it was so unique and unexpected. The french vanilla ice cream it was served with wasn't so great, a little icy and generic tasting, but the rest of it was fantastic. I wouldn't have ever dreamed of making a dish like this. The service was friendly and attentive - we were never left wanting for anything. Overall, I was surprised this place was so quiet on a Friday night. The food is OK or better, depending on what you order (they really need to find better sandwich buns) and certain things sound much better on the menu than they actually taste. There is definitely some creativity in the kitchen, but some extra attention to execution and a few higher quality ingredients would go a long way. They have a nice location right off the Cross Valley, and once you're inside, you forget you're in an office park. The patio is spacious & offers something to look at - even if it is the Susquehanna. read more

Outdoors year round. One of the few spots for Sunday brunch. Steak & eggs recommended. Build your own Bloody Mary bar optional.

I love this place! The food menu is amazing and they change it up a few times per year (keepin it fresh) and the cocktails are the BEST. Plenty of parking (huge parking lot) and plenty of space inside and outside. The servers and bartenders are super fun and best of all, it's locally owned. You can't go wrong here. Not many places in this area can offer what this place can. read more

I stopped here to meet some family for happy hour. They have drink speciials nightly, Friday was long island iced teas. They were fair, a bit too tart for me. I ordered the southwestern egg rolls which were very southwestern, they got the spice right, although the dipping sauce was a bit to thin for me, yet tasty. We sat forever before a waitress would even look at us, which was bothersome, however, later in the night we dealt with a great, and attentive waitress. A nice atmosphere over looking the river, music, dj, the coors light girls were handing out door prizes as well. read more

Their Sunday brunch and Bloody Mary bar are great. The lobster Mac is my favorite but all of their food is delicious and at decent prices. The wake and bake is a must-try as well. They also have great customer service especially Rudi who is always friendly and makes our meal an enjoyable experience. read more

This place is very visually appealing. I love the interior, LOVE the deck...and the potential of it is what I love the most. I've actually only ordered food from here about 3x and all 3 times were takeout so this review is based on service. All 3 times that I've been here I felt unwelcomed and unwanted. There was always something missing from what I ordered- either fries, ketchup, or some side dish. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first 2 times they didn't give me everything I ordered...and I just dealt with it. The 3rd time, however, I decided to go back and ask for what they forgot and I got a look as if I was Hitler. I mean... is it really that bad that I asked for the side dish that I paid for? Okay then. Maybe this is just a flaw they have for their takeout.. but it's enough for me to not have any further interest in being a patron of this venue. read more

Don't waste your time or money! I attended the 1st annual BeatTek BBQ event at this place. They made me pay a cover to get into their falsely advertised event. Then we get there and all the previous reviews about the waitress being nasty are all TRUE.. We had an encounter with one particular jerk of a waitress Jennifer. Customer service is obviously something they don't teach the server/ wanna be bartender ! On top of it, I was super excited that this event was going to have BBQ. They claimed it would be a special menu and I was really excited until I got there and saw the menu literally had two items, chicken and I think brisket, which was ridiculously overpriced! This was an absolute nightmare and a waste of my time and money! read more

This place makes me sad. It's like having a son who is brilliant and a star athlete. You know he will do great. All you want for him is to be better than his old man. Then you find out that all his natural potential is wasted because he is heavily involved in drugs and refuses to quit. That is this bar. They have the most natural potential of any bar in the area, but they thoroughly F it up. The drugs in this case? The help. I cringe when I call them that; they don't ever seem to help. The servers are rude and (intentionally?) forgetful- sometimes downright obnoxious. It's a shame bc the owner is a real nice guy. And from what I can tell, so is his wife and son. read more

This place is the best!!!!!! I had amazing service and the food is out of this world. I especially enjoy the fresh squeezed juices they offer for my alcoholic beverages. If that wasn't enough, the view is breathtaking... Even if it's 20 degrees outside! read more

Best staff. Best drinks. Awesome "Halfy" hour. Love Sunday Bloody Mary bar and I love the lobster and grits. If you like fruity drinks, order a rum bucket !!! If you just want a snack, get the buffalo bites :-) read more

Great staff, great food, responsible and respectful security. Best bloody Mary Sunday brunch!

This is one of my favorite bars in the valley! Great Happy hour and always making changes to the menu. I have to say the mac and cheese is out of this world along with the Baja quesadilla. The owners and staff are great! I love drinking mimosas for brunch on the deck. Great parking and safe!! read more

Great atmosphere and menu. You won't be disappointed here. Fresh, new and modern. My family had burgers and they were huge. My daughter and I are vegans, so we got the quinoa salad without the shrimp and sweet potato fries. My husband also got crab fries and he really enjoyed them. This is a welcomed restaurant compared to going to a chain where the food is just heated up.. Don't hesitate to go here. read more

I love the River Grille and always make it a point to stop by when I'm back in town. The brunch is killer and the crush bar is really cool (one of the only spots in town with orange crushes we love so much in MD). Locally owned, great food, delicious drinks, and an amazing location right on the river is a must visit! You may even get lucky and catch a train passing by while hanging out on the huge deck overlooking the water! read more

I enjoyed my time at the River Grille. The apps are great and the wait staff was attentive and friendly. The drinks were great. I would recommend this place for lunch, dinner or just drinks. read more

Went there today for our brunch. There were 9 of us. We had an indoor reservation as they do not allow outdoor ones. However they had a set up for us outside. That was great. They failed to mention when we made our reservation that they didn't open until 11:30. The server was pleasant and efficient and so nicely gave us all individual checks. I ordered one of their versions of eggs Benedict which came with order of tater tots. The tots were out of the bag frozen tots with no seasoning or anything special. That being said...they were tater tots. The hollandaise sauce was incredibly bland. The peppered bacon was tasty...but the spinach was too wet and too flavorless for this dish. The eggs were cooked a bit harder than I'd Like. The bloody Mary was good.....and plentiful. I would have liked to see more meats or olives...but it was quite a good bargain for only 4.00. I'd go back for the atmosphere and bloody Marys but....the dish was altogether lacking. Price of the meal was good @ around 8.00 read more

River Grille - American Near Me - Plains, Pennsylvania

Have been coming here forever but was not thrilled with my last visit. Came on a Sunday around 12:00 for brunch. There was about 20 employees standing around hugging each other and talking, even one was vaping only sets away from us. It made it for a very uncomfortable lunch. Also it took a while to get refills and when our food came out we weren't impressed with the over cooked food and greasy fries. Would have complained but our waitress didn't come to check on us until way after and all the other employees were engaged in conversations with each other. I felt it was completely unprofessional and I know for a fact my employer would not be paying me to converse. It's really a shame we would go to the river grille a lot and enjoy it, can't say the same for this time! read more

This is my third time at River Grill and every time with the food has been fantastic . The fajitas are amazing and this time I chose the chicken pot pie which is homemade. It was superb! It has an amazing taste! Great job, love that place , you can't miss it. Great atmosphere, great prices! read more

Started out slow. One of the Crush drinks was not so good but it was quickly fixed and credited. Food wait was a little long considering it was still early but once it arrived everything was great. Wait staff was attentive. read more

Ordered a wide variety of takeout from here for the entire family. The sweet potato fries and regular french fries were delicious... That's about it. The rest of it pretty much sucked. We received a fried chicken sandwich for our little ones that no one could eat because it was so burnt and disgusting. It's really disappointing that any restaurant would let food looking like that leave their kitchen. Especially when someone is driving it 20 minutes home to feed their children with. The buffalo chicken eggrolls were just OK... The fried calamari tasted like it was fried in 20-year-old oil - however the sauce they gave with it was very tasty. I can't say we would go or get food from there ever again. read more

This place quickly became one of our new favorites. Wednesday is the day to go so that we get the awesome waitress we like. The food and the service is great. Plus, they have a craft beer night, which is a big draw for my husband. read more

Can't get enough of this place! Awesome food and great bartenders. Everyone time I'm in town I make sure I stop by for some good eats and drinks. Also not to mention that bottle cap mural on the wall is absolutely incredible! read more

Our 1st visit here, made in time for happy hour- HOOT HOOT! The food was fair but nothing spectacular, we got the cheddar bacon ranch burger, crab ravioli, and the brisket. For dessert we ordered creme brulee, and the ice cream cookie, both were yummy! I would say the biggest highlights were the happy hour deals, the 20% discount for check-in, the music (80's-90's radio, I throughly enjoyed!), but most notable was the exception attitude & service from our server Rudi, he was great! read more

Not good! Service was extremely slow, my food took an hour to come out for a table of 2 when a table of 6 got served first. The portions were extremely small and a $20 steak dinner had 3 pieces of steak and 80% of the plate was vegetables. Highly disappointed do not recommend. read more

I've been here in the past for a few different occasions that have occurred during all different hours. The breakfast is fine, lunch is good, and the nightlife is OK. They don't have a ton of options for breakfast/brunch and sometimes they run out. If it's nice out you can check out the outside river view which is nice to overlook! The nightlife portion of this place is unique. The DJ that they hire is not that great. They do have fire pit tables which are very pretty to look at but don't do a whole lot to warm you up. I keep seeing/hearing things in the area about how this area is just becoming worse with crime/fights. I find it sad because we don't have a lot of nightlife options here. I often go here for friends birthdays events and I am usually the DD - I will not have a single adult beverage. The one time I was there, a bouncer decided to put his hands on me trying to push me out the door and was giving me attitude. I did contact some type of management over email and got a quick response. I never got back to them and didn't return for over a year due to my experience. They seemed nice but I didn't wait anything to do with them at the time. I guess this is a regular thing as I continue to talk to more locals that have been here. This seems to be an issue. Almost forgot...they do allow smoking on their deck where the dj is located. Overall if you are going "off peak bar" hours you will enjoy a nice bite to eat. My experience with the wait staff has been 50/50. Not my first choice... but I might give it another shot again in a few months. read more

Outstanding riverside restaurant! Good menu is wide and delicious. Crab and lobster dip was terrific. This is the perfect location for a happy hour meal overlooking the Susquehanna and sunset. Can't wait to go again! read more

Don't mind going for a few beers on the patio but forget the food. Pricey and nothing to write home about.
