We had a party of 19 on a Saturday night and River Hill Grill handled it like absolute pros. We called at 6:30 and our table was ready by 6:35. That alone deserves a moment. The group was 8 adults and 11 boys ages 2-12, aka peak chaos. Endless energy, constant movement, sodas disappearing at Olympic speed while the adults ordered beers and dinner. Our server Jacob was next-level. Calm, unbothered, and genuinely friendly. He never once seemed frazzled, even while handling other tables. Every order came out correct, he brought extra sauces without us even asking, and he joked around with the boys in a way that kept them happy and engaged. And for context. I was a server for 20+ years, so I don't hand out compliments lightly. It takes a lot to impress me. Jacob really did the damn thing. We've loved River Hill Grill for many years, but this night was a true stress test and they absolutely passed with flying colors. Huge shout-out to Jacob for turning what could've been a wild night into a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone. We'll be back. And if you're dining with kids, big groups, or both, you're in very good hands. read more

We had dinner here with few friends and surprising their food was pretty good. Burger, wings and grilled salmon were all great. Their drink selection was pretty decent too. Service was quick and great. Overall vibe was good for a small local restaurant. read more

Haven't been here in a while but found it to be a nice cozy place to have indoor or outdoor eating with a decent amount of choices from their menu. Service was prompt and they were very nice. Specials of the day were discussed and an exchange in our salad to switch the greens used was easily accommodated. Unfortunately, we were hungry and I was delayed in taking a picture of the crab artichoke dip which was tasty with several slices of Parmesan crostini to share. We split the freshly made Kale Waldorf, exchanging the kale for Romaine lettuce and the toppings were generous. There was a nice raspberry flavored vinaigrette to top it all off. read more

This a local grill with the mix vibe of sports bar, and diner. Simple decor, rustic atmosphere, and friendly staff. Foods we ordered were surprisingly tasty. We liked the crab dip, flat bread, wings, and mac n cheese. Especially the mac n cheese was very savory. Experienced a little lagging in service. Waited for a long time for some hot sauce and couple other things we asked for. Ended up asking a different server to get what we wanted. Also like to note, we went for an early dinner around 4pm, so the restaurant was not busy at all. Therefore , we did not understand what the waitress was so busy for...??? Pricing is reasonable. Convenient location. Ample parking. read more

I was in the area and needed to kill some time so dropped into the Grille for Saturday late lunch. Nice sports bar vibe and very clean. Sat at bar and ordered beer. Bartender was really outgoing but laidback sand others seated at bar seemed locals having lunch & cocktails. Ordered the Bacon, avocado, lettuce & tomato Sammy w fries. Really good and the best part it had this fantastic aioli on the nicely toasted sourdough. Perfect lunch so had a 2nd beer. Nice find in this land of big homes and condos. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Get the black and blue!! Fries are so good and seasoned perfectly.

I don't have high expectations for a place like this, so I'm grading a bit on a curve, but the friendly service and solid food was surprisingly good. read more

RHG has been up and down over the years. Seems that over the last couple of years most of their offerings are pretty darn good. I would not call it outstanding but a good neighborhood staple when you don't feel like cooking. One complaint, fairly recently they have instituted a policy of charging for more bread for the crab and artichoke dip. Very shortsighted move IMO. We often get this app, there is never enough bread. Now you have to pay an additional $1.50 for 4 small pieces of toasted bread. EXTREMELY ANNOYING, just add $1 on to cost of app and give folks enough bread. Nobody likes to be nickel and dimed to death. read more

Everything is always spot on! The food is always so fresh. Staff are awesome and you must get the stake strips!!!

First timer here and I must say the ambiance was relaxed and cozy. The host was kind and found us a spot immediately. The menu has a lot of cool options and the person helping us suggested some of their favorites. We landed on the cheese steak and crab pretzels. I was pretty disappointed in the pretzels, I wish it was cheesier! The cheese steak was delicious! Overall if in the area I would stop in again! read more

R and I went here for lunch on Saturday to try something new and we were definitely impressed! They have a great patio area for outdoor dining and what seems to be 2 different dining areas. I went with the Margarita Chicken Panini with the house chips. This was such a delicious sandwich. The cheese was melty, the chicken well seasoned, and the pesto very flavorful. My personal wish would be that they use less arugula, but that's just me. R got the Southwest Wrap. He thought it was very tasty and the wrap itself was very fresh. The fries were very good. We would come back just for those! They have a nice list of a variety of draft beers so we enjoyed the options. We definitely cannot wait to come back. read more

A group of friends and I went in this evening; we've been many times and love it. We want to give a shoutout to our server, Chris. He has only been working there for 2 weeks. He couldn't have been more courteous, he dealt with questions and requests so well. Total professional! Thanks, Chris for taking such great care of us. We hope to see you next time! read more

Really good traditional cheese steak. Comes with onions but I added the green peppers and mushrooms. Perfectly seasoned. Nice crisp roll. Service was good. read more

The service is fantastic and the bartenders are top notch! They take extra care when they can and I love the food. Good bless RHG!

Great service by bartenders named Liz. Would recommend. Ambiance and great food and drink.

I had a great time at the grill!! Liz was amazing and made sure our drinks were always full!! She came back to check on us all night.

Ordered the blackened chicken linguini and salmon tacos recently ($7 up charge) . Both were pretty fire not gonna lie. The salmon was fried and topped with tomato, lettuce, and chipotle Mayo, with a side of lime and guac. Worth a try at least once. The curbside pick up staff also just attentive and nice Park by the curb between the outdoor seating and gym across the street. There's an opening in the low fence and a paper sign read more

We just moved away in November but went here a lot because we were living close by, so I need to do a review. Clarksville has a few places to eat but River Hill Grill was our #1 choice for going out. They have some great options on the menu for adults and we really loved the wings but the other menu items always made it a tough choice. The kids menu was slightly limited but has all the things kids like. The restaurant has a bar side and a dining area with sports games on the tvs. They also have a great outdoor patio which was wonderful in the fall season. Kudos to whoever chose the music, as they are always playing good tunes. There was also live music on weekends. Just a comfortable, relaxed vibe in general. We never had anything besides excellent service. The staff were always super helpful and props to the waitress who brought my daughter her own "spooky jar" with lights and skulls in it to decorate our table for Halloween when the dining area in the bar was already full. Our daughter was so sad we couldn't sit in the "spooky section" with all the fun decorations, so the waitress brought the spooky to her. It was really a kind gesture and she was a fabulous waitress every time--remembering our drinks and favorite ways to order things. She had curly brown hair that was so pretty. I wish I could remember her name, but if you're reading this, thank you so much for always being a top notch waitress. You probably didn't know this but we were pretty miserable at the time--we were in the middle of a transatlantic move, and got "stuck" indefinitely and after a summer of moving from hotel to hotel, school finally started and we had to find a place to live so our kids didn't miss school. We were living in someone's basement around the block from RHG. I have all sorts of seasonal decor for the holidays, and our kids were really missing having decorations at home. They were homesick in general anyway, and all of us were frustrated with not having our things and not knowing when we would see our destination. You made coming there a sure bet as far as dinner and service, and you were always so nice to our kids. I just want you to know how much we appreciated it! We always had a great meal, and top notch service. One of the few places we will miss! read more

So disappointed. The meal that I received via carry out was not as visually appealing as the advertised photo. The portion was also disappointing. I decided not to take it back, hoping the flavor would outweigh the visual appeal and portion. Unfortunately, the salmon had no flavor and the vegetable fried rice was too salty. Again... so disappointed. Waste of money. read more

Fish and chips - delicious fries and tender cod. The accompanying tartar sauce and vinegar balanced the cod, yummily. Devil's margarita- perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Absolutely delicious! Old fashioned - typical old fashioned. No frills here. Elizabeth is an excellent bartender and Deirdre, a cheery, wonderful server who grew up near where The Walking Dead was filmed, thus, in a roundabout way, has partially lived my fantasy of a Zombie Apocalypse! That, alone, is worth a visit to this cool spot :-) read more

My husband and I drove up from Virginia for an event at St. Louis Church. We planned on stopping for dinner at River Hill Grill. The traffic was terrible and we arrived 45 minutes before the event was starting. I asked the host if it would be possible to be served and done in 30 minutes and he assured me they could. Not only were we served promptly, our meal was delicious. The staff was very accommodating and I hope we will have the opportunity to stop by for a leisurely meal in the future. read more

It was a bit confusing to me when we first came in, the hostess station seems to behind glass in the entry way (?). It was not very welcoming when we first came in. The restaurant was also pretty dimly lit but that's really where the issues ended for me. Our server was pleasant and efficient, and both my sister and I enjoyed the food. We shared the crab pretzel as our starter, which was quite filling. Both of us ordered a burger as well, I got the veggie burger and she got the b'more burger. The veggie burger was cheesy and tasty and the b'more burger was enjoyed as well. Good casual lunch spot. read more

Food always on point. The bartender Chris is awesome! He always checks up on us and is so personable. Definitely coming back

Friendly staff, great food, awesome sangria and our go-to Friday night spot. Live music is a bonus!

Delicious burgers, fresh salad, kids loved the tendies and fries, and Chris and Liz M. provided stellar service! Would gladly recommend for a family dinner. read more

We have the swirt steak still as good as since I have it a year I was so disappointed when I purchased the steak couple days ago , the server didn't put the butter sauce in the dish. The steak does not taste good. When I call them the server said only if you request for it, she is lying, I got the steak in prior so many times and you don't have to request it , it come with it . The service is terrible, she made a mistake and trying to pass on to customer. Trying to be a smart ass but this is not a way to serve the customers. I wouldn't go back there again read more

Entirely overpriced for the quality of food. They never cook my burger correctly, I always have to send it back. Their blackening season is beyond salty, it's not even edible. Flat bread is extremely dry. Chicken breast quality is low. read more

In an update to my review, The staff has always been outstanding, even though the young folks cycle through. They apparently do very well hiring and training the staff. Of special note is the Manager Anil, he is extremely friendly and outgoing. He makes us regular folks feel special. read more

Other than the Crab and Artichoke dip, the food was really good. The dip had way too much Cream Cheese and way too little Crab. They had Christmas songs playing outside on the patio, where nobody was sitting and none inside. They weren't too crowded, and service was okay. I would go back, just won't get the Crab dip. read more

Excellent as always! Can't go wrong with the old bay wings or blackened chicken linguine!

Although I can't speak to eating inside the restaurant, I can tell you that the take out was amazing. I ordered the steak strips and an order of fries and loved both. The steak was perfectly cooked and the portion size was large! For a starter, it is practically a meal! The fries were perfect and they gave me a huge portion as well. The price was a great value for what I received. If you are in the area, I recommend giving this place a try. And if you can't eat in, give their take out a try! read more

Hands down the best burgers in Howard county. I've tried many places for burgers but this is the best. The fries are also excellent. If the fries suck then you have to fear for the burger. Meaning the restaurant is not paying attention to the details. Love the outdoor patio when the weather cooperates. Just a nice neighborhood hang. read more

We sat in the bar area of the restaurant and it was very crowded as they were doing a fundraiser for a local church and it was half price wine night. Not that there is a correlation but amused me a little. I love the atmosphere -it's very charming and locals seem to love it. We ordered wine first. They have a small but good selection of wine on their list. Cost about $20 with the discount which I thought was a good deal. The server was very personable but in the beginning not overly attentive. After 20 min we ordered some appetizers. Beef strips, Shrimp, and a crab pretzel. Then ordered dinner. First, I was actually surprised to see how much steak they give you on that plate. 3 of us shared and the steak was tender & well seasoned. It was delicious. There is a sauce with it, think garlic aioli -yeah I hope they decide to change it to a horseradish sauce cause it didn't even need to be there. The Jumbo shrimp came out hot and plated beautifully. The sauce was so good. We got six on the plate. The shell was mostly off except for the end of the tail. The crab pretzel was very plain and dull. The pretzel wasn't crispy but not soggy. Just very bland. I would not order this again. For dinners, I ordered a customized burger, friends ordered the Reuben and flatbread. This Burger (cooked medium, with Swiss, Bacon, & Grilled onions) was one of the best burgers I have had. I am a Burger snob and I would give it a 5 star. Juicy, flavorful, hot, and the bun was perfect. I added loaded tots as a side and they were very crispy with the perfect about of queso & bacon. The queso has just a little to much chili season for me but it was good. Our server was much better as the crowd decreased, this made up for the earlier delay. If your in this area, and you love a great burger, this is your place !!! I would love to go back for a burger cause it was really that good. read more

Out of the few restaurants in the River Hill area, River Hill Grill is the best. I have been here probably close to 50 times and have not had a single bad experience. All of the burgers are good and the crab pretzel is superb. read more

Great food, great menu, great drinks. Service is hit or miss. Old friends work there, and also bar tenders who won't tend to me when I'm at "their" bar. I get it, I'm weird. Thanks for ignoring me for ten minutes before you greet me with general discomfort. I'll be sure to behave, you just keep monitoring me from afar. Who needs confidence when your a 26 year old local patron since it was Luna C Grille back in 2006? I'm referencing one time in partucar, where i sat in plain view, at a relatively empty bar, and was not greeted for roughly ten minutes. Two female bar tenders of similar age had important conversation to attend to before i could be checked for my identification. I get it, I'm weird. It's a classy sports bar, with a very nice band set up on occasion. Crab Pretzel Crab Soup Cream of Crab Cream of Crab Soup Crispy Wings Curbside Flatbreads Old Bay Wings Sliders read more

Quick update on deliver: Food is still fantastic. Fries and sandwiches all delivered with perfect deliciousness. Only complaint is about the fried calamari. It must have come out piping hot, because by the time I got them they'd been steamed inside their container. Most of the breading had fallen off. Didn't matter--still tasted fantastic. Easily ranked in one of my top spots. read more
