Green Olive and Swiss
David K.

While on vacation, my wife selected River Jams as a place to have lunch. It is pretty hard to beat the views and atmosphere while having a local beer (Spotted Cow) while eating outside looking at the Chippewa River. Along with our son, we had the BLT, Cod Sandwich, and the Green Olive and Swiss double smash burger. This could well be the best burger I have had as it was not only juicy, but bursting with flavor. The green olive really adds a lot. Our waitress, Annika, was very nice. I recommend coming here.

If you are here on a Tuesday you must get the tacos
Catherine W.

Found this place with the help of Yelp. A little out of the way but totally worth it. A friendly server greeted us on entry, answering our questions and helping us with a great meal. Savannah was awesome and very informative. We both got tacos because it was taco Tuesday. They were awesome. They had a great tap and bourbon selection. We were wonderful satisfied and will return whenever we are in the area.

Nice views and great vibes. We were tired and stopped here midpoint from driving from Voyageurs National Park to Chicago. We just wanted to grab a bite and go to bite to eat and go to bed. We thought this was going to be bar food and when we arrived got the impression of a bikers' and boaters' party place. Wow, we were so wrong. Inside it was simple and nice, open, and lots of natural light. The music was soft and the drinks were fantastic. It was fish fry Friday and, to our surprise, they offered grilled options. We shared the grilled walleye and the grilled shrimp. Cook to perfection and very tasty. The Blackberry Old Fashion was really good. Service was excellent, both of our servers were attentive, helpful, and pleasant. We scored!!

Chicken wings

Excellent food - chicken was delicious, and the wings are huge! Efficient and friendly staff!

Grilled shrimp and garlic smashed potatoes

We have been to River Jams for wonderful craft cocktails but this was our first time to also have a meal. Went on a Friday night and knew they only have fish and shrimp but that is what we were craving anyway. Also had cocktails-The White Pumpkin martini, Hot Caramel apple cider and Whiskey River Old Fashioned. They were all wonderful! For the meal, I had grilled shrimp, garlic smashed baby reds and coleslaw. Super tasty, flavorful shrimp and potatoes served nice and hot. Companions had 2 piece cod dinner-fried with fries and Perch-fried with baked potato. Everything was delicious and we all left satisfied. Seated right by window looking out at beautiful river. They were busy-Folks love Friday fish-so we had to wait a while for our meals. But that is to be expected and friendly capable server Rebekah kept the drinks (and water!) coming. Chef came around and asked if we enjoyed the meals-while also collecting our plates. A very positive experience overall. We will be back and hope to explore other food menu items-along with the fabulous craft cocktails that change over time.

Maple bourbon old fashioned
Troy S.

Nicely renovated space. Simple elegance. Great wood floors. Nice cocktail selection and great tap beer. Menu is currently limited to bruschetta board, waygu sliders, ahi poke, and fish taco. I had the weekend special shrimp PoBoy. It was delicious. So was the maple syrup bourbon old Fashy. It was dark when I was there but I'm sure the reviews are fantastic. Can't wait to come back with friends

Fun place! Awesome food and drink. Spotted Cow on tap! Nice staff of people. The smash burgers are great

Higher-end and tastier food than typical bar fare. Some great craft cocktails and a beautiful view of the Chippewa River.

Stopped by for a drink and some wings. Usually trying wings from a now place is hit or miss but they were great! Good service too.

It's taken years since I left town to finally make it back here under the (not so) new ownership…read more I've heard such good things and so when we found ourselves with an open afternoon, we stopped by for dinner. The ambiance is casual with lots of fun things to examine on the walls - some historic, some new. We started with the Brussels sprouts, loaded with bacon and Gouda cheese. These were a huge hit and we cleared the entire plate. I ordered the Sheely burger with truffle fries and definitely ate beyond capacity. The Mr. ordered the ribeye special and it came out medium rare just as he likes. He ate every bite and when he saw that you could buy a round for the staff for $10, proceeded to do so. He appreciates a perfect steak. Can't wait to come back and try some other items! *NOTE: CASH ONLY*

The Sheeley House is a really fun place. The history and stories that can be learned by reading the…read moreback of the menu made our whole group entertained while waiting ... and waiting... and waiting for service. When we first walked in we were greeted by two women who seemed frazzled and then annoyed that we had a large group. A few in our group ordered the special, prime rib, which was lacking flavor. The truffle fries also lack flavor. Overall, the food is not great and expensive. But the ambience is very cool. Would love to see improvements in the food quality as this place is very neat.
