    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.

    Guess I didn't read the description before I came out to this place because I was very surprised…read morewhen I entered and the host wanted our credit card instead of seating us at a table first. You get a beer card which is linked to the credit card you provided upon check in and then you go to the wide range of taps on the wall and fill up your glass. There's a little variety in the sizes and types of glassware to choose from. You are charged by oz, and the price is clearly displayed on the signage. I thought it was going to cost us much more to do it this way instead of sitting down and ordering a drink but we think it actually ended up being cheaper to drink this way. We decided to take a seat outside on the patio. It's a large area with games and plenty of different types of seating. You order through the QR code on the menu and your food gets delivered to your table. It came out fairly quick and we were hungry so we ordered way too much food. We tried the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread which was really good and I highly recommend just getting that! Had the Mediterranean Salad. A nice sized portion and very fresh. Tried the 12 pc boneless wings. I don't normally like boneless wings but that is all they had. So we tried them. Not impressed. Very thick breading, no outstanding flavor. These felt like bar food, which is okay. It is a bar but in comparison to our delicious flatbread I was disappointed. Lastly we tried the Garlic Parmesan Cheese Curds. These were unlike any cheese curd I've had before. They were huge squares which felt like hunks of bread. I though they were too big and too cheesy for my tastebuds. It was a nice place to stop in while we were traveling through and a great day to sit out on the patio.

    Great place downtown Eau Claire! Indoor and outdoor seating both very nice - outdoor seating…read moresometimes has live music and there are outdoor fire pits! 72 beers on tap and it includes seltzers and wines! You get a card to take to self pour and use it per ounce. Appetizers we had - onion rings & cheese curd flight and were great! Margarita flatbread was also so good! Definitely will be back!
