This establishment is located in an odd area in the same parking lot as a gas station and Dunkin' Donuts. The restaurant itself is small but nice and clean. It's darker, more natural lighting. The service was very good. It was not too often and we were able to order and eat in under an hour. We ordered pretzels and beer cheese, sweet potato fries, and buffalo wings. Plus two drinks the bill was under $50 which isn't bad for all the food. The pretzels and beer cheese were very good same with the fries. The wings were good but slightly tough. read more

Made a quick stop at River Road Tavern to meet an old colleague at his suggestion. Glad that's where he chose! The staff was really friendly despite how busy it was and was very apologetic when they realized that they skipped getting me on the list for a table. The decor is fun and eclectic. Lots of ties back to railroad stuff. I had the Grownup Grilled Cheese (3 or 4 kinds of cheese with a fig spread) and crispy shoestring fries. I make a really good Grilled cheese; theirs rivals it. It was great. My friend had their Kobe bacon cheeseburger. I didn't get a pic, but it looked like it was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be back! read more

The pork belly here was decent, but the wings were super dry. The bacon lacked flavor. Service was great though.

The best place to hang. Wings, beer, no need to say more. Earn a paddle on the wall.

A favorite neighborhood hangout for us. Been working on getting our beer paddles on the wall since 2013! Small menu, with some repeats and some seasonal options, so it's always changing. open kitchen so if you sit at the bar you can watch the guys cook your dinner. They have it down to a science. My recommendations? Get the fries and special sauce, it's always worth it. So are the doughnuts. And if you ever see a Mac and cheese on the menu with Cheetos (they used to have it), you should get that too. read more

I like going here when I'm in the mood for a burger. They don't just serve burgers but the have skinny fries that are so good. I definitely recommend. read more

This was a last minute stop and even though we ordered close to closing, everyone was super accommodating and friendly! Our server was great, the pastrami sandwich I got was really good, and the vibe was casual. Overall great place for a quick bite. read more

Great selection of craft beer and food! Got the Flying V flatbread and duck tacos. Both delicious! The ambiance was fun and laid back. Will be back! read more

The burgers are good. However I can't stand shredded lettuce for a burger. It reminds me of Subway and is worth skipping. Also your have to use a QR code for the beer menu. Come on! Covid is over. And the code is crap if you don't have the app. And to top if off there is a single serve bathroom for the mens room. Uggg, just left to go home to pee. Doubt we'll be back for another 5 years. read more

Very delicious ! Expected bar food but got so much more. I had a fried green tomato sandwich on an everything. Bagel with sweet potato fries and my friend had pulled pork sandwich and fries. Only gave it a 4 because it was very loud for us seniors. read more

The food was very good and the service was spot on. The real issue was the acoustics. We arrived at 5:30 and we had been traveling all day. We were looking for something with a little peace and quiet. Unfortunately when we arrived and there was a table of about eight that had probably been there for two hours having a Friday night happy hour. So as stated, quiet was not on the menu. Not the restaurants fault. Three stars is probably low but, it's how I feel now. read more

Sat at the bar and had great service and good food. Place was pretty quitlet with not too many customers. Ordered a burger along with a side salad. Burger was cooked perfectly and the salad was delicious. Was not too loud or busy and had great ambiance. Would definitely return. read more

Small and loud but a good place to hang out. Seating is limited. Good beer selection. Limited menu but with good choices. The friend chicken sandwich was GREAT. Small delicious crispy fries were SO GOOD. Staff were very friendly and accommodating for our large party. read more

The food was fantastic. I got the Kyobi burger and actually got it rare as I ordered. Most places cook it medium when rare is ordered. Hubby got the Chicken burger and to me it was salty. The fries were extremely salty and had to smother them in ketchup in order to eat them. Couldn't eat them all because of the salt. The menu is extremely limited but the prices are reasonable. I would definitely go back. Service was right on. She was very attentive. read more

When we are in the mood for burger and beers, this is always the place we go! The Kobe Burger with cheese and bacon is seriously divine, and their beer selection supports many local breweries and is more than any single person can handle in one visit! Oh, and the donuts! If you order nothing else here, get the donuts! Really. Either one (they have 2 options, we've tried them both, and both won't disappoint). Though I have to say, my personal favorite is the maple bourbon! They have tall dividers setup between tables indoors, and they do have some seating available outdoors, too. And everyone was wearing masks when we visited, so for a small operation, they are making the most for COVID safety. And the people are so energetic and friendly here! There is a new gas station currently being built next door, but the construction site is well contained, and the tavern actually has more parking available now than before which is nothing but good changes for this place! read more

This is more of a bar than restaurant, but still fine for kids. They have highchairs for the high top tables and a kids menu. Our server was great. My toddler had a cheese flatbread. I had the Kobe burger with bacon and cheese and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich. All three were great. read more

Food was amazing, the portions are great and the waiters were amazing highly recommended. read more

River Road Tavern - I had the flank steak with garlic broccolini and crispy potatoes. Soooo good - American Near Me - Bedford, New Hampshire

Great service and awesome wings! Fresh new October beer from Able Ebenezer, love the Homecoming!

First time there today. We live 20 minutes away and never knew about it! We had the hot crab Rangoon dip. And me and my husband shared the sandwich of the week. Both were so good! Our waitress was very nice. My martini was cold and perfect and my husband enjoyed a cold beer from the large selection. I wanted to get the doughnuts to go (because I read reviews that they are great)... but I forgot to order them . Definitely next time ! The place was clean. Kinda loud .. but that means everyone is having a good time :) Can't wait to go back read more

Not a bad place, great beer selection but to get to the WT code menu with a pain. We got the steak tips and tacos. Not bad and food came out really quick. We we're charging our car so it was a good place to wait. read more

Hubby and I stop in once a month. The staff always remembers us, so our normal drinks get served as soon as we sit down. Great food, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere. read more

Lively atmosphere, great pub food and a wide variety of menu items with an upscale twist make this a perfect spot for a burger and a beer.

The flatbreads are fantastic!! Their fries are sad and pathetic little wannabe shoestrings that just belong in the trash. Everything else is great...and they carry a notable NA beer selection. Well done! read more

Twice in a row, I've had takeout burgers ordered Well Done... Both times I've received burgers that where rare or at best, to some, the most cooked was medium rare. To the point I cooked it myself on the stove. If I wanted to cook my burger after a long day, I would get my meat elsewhere and save myself the hassle of disposing of these so called "French Fries" that are inedible. Good bun, and the lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomato all seemed fresh enough. Not the best experience. read more

Great food and great service! Definitely pub style dining, the people are very friendly.

You will read "the beer selection is good".. yeah but it's mostly in cans!! Idk about everyone else but I look for good beer on tap. I was hugely disappointed that most selections were in a can. Food was good, not great. Will not intentionally go back because of the canned beer. read more

Great little spot with a decent beer selection and limited menu. What they do they do fairly well. Usually able to get a seat. Recommended.

Cute location, great food, solid service! Get the Kobe burger with the dipping sauce! read more

On the "Good-Meh-Suck" scale this is a "solid Meh plus". We decided to try a new place that we had never been to. This seemed like a nice "joint". We were not looking for anything fancy and wanted to have a relaxing setting that was not overcrowded. We decided on the tacos which were very good garlic shrimp tacos. Although the shrimp were small, they were tasty and made well. We also tried the chicken wings and decided on the Cajun lemon pepper dry rub. The wings were large and meaty. The flavor was good. The major complaint was simple- how does a place that serves wings NOT have ranch dressing??? Huge misstep for me. Blue cheese is not my vibe. The Seasonal salad was good with kalamata olives, feta cheese, red onions and other goodies. It came with a tetrazzini dressing. Good but I preffered ranch but could only get Caesar or oil/vinegar as alternative choices. Bottom line- would I run back? No. Would I go again if I was nearby? Yes. To the management- put ranch on your dressing list. I am glad I did not order the buffalo wings.....that would have been a disaster.... read more

Stopped in while in the area for work. Stopped on my way to a few spots in Manchester then went back after not finding safe parking in Manchester. Clayton the bartender was great with beer suggestions and wings were terrific. Wish I'd had room for a burger, the two guys next to me were enjoying theirs and they looked great. Will be back. read more

Had a really good time, had a great waiter, had no wait and really good food. Somewhat limited menu...seems the ski lodge vibe is strong here. Had the fish tacos, burger and chicken sandwich while finishing it off with their dessert donuts (more like Beignet's). Very good easy night out. Our meal for two was $ with generous tip. Among their dining room flair is a 35 star flag (1863-1865) that is a family heirloom-would like to see the story behind that for guests to read. read more

Normally, this place is great.. however, tonight, the bartender and the waitress decided to take straws into my can of beer so they could taste it...I am sorry that is not something they should do!!! You pay $9 and up for these they have no right... read more

The best cranberry margarita I've ever had! Was driving through New Hampshire and decided to stop here for a burger and drink and the staff were extremely friendly. read more

I've been to RRT three times now. It's good not great. The outside of the building is attractive and tavern-like but the inside is a little rougher than you might expect from the outside. It feels like a ski lodge at a small mountain to me. It has decor hanging on the walls and is not particularly clean or dirty - I guess I would call it rustic. There were four of us and we had a brief wait for a table. There is a huge beer selection and the staff is friendly. We ordered 3 "Kobe" burgers (obviously at the price it can't be Kobe beef) and a Ruben. We all agreed it was "fine". It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. The men's room is not very clean and it's almost funny for a restaurant in this area (I'll post a pic). Pricing is very reasonable at about $10 a sandwich. read more

Salad and beer. Good size salad and very cold beer. The tables turn over fast but we had no pressure to leave. Very good spot

Great local joint. It came as a recommendation, and it did not disappoint. They have daily specials and the food is very reasonably priced. Great portions! The think cut fries were amazing! The mussels were all large and delicious - thai curry sauce! The spinach dip was delicious too! Would definitely recommend! read more

Group of 8 of us from work went. Atmosphere is good. Server wasn't friendly, but accommodating (I read this in another review). We got corn dip and fried pickles for appetizers - both were subpar. Fried Chicken sandwich - flavorless. Fries- flavorless. When the boss said we were going, we had a couple of groans. We work in Bedford, and will never go back. It's definitely for the beer drinker, and we're assuming the food is a requirement to serve alcohol? Like a hot dog steamer at the Uptown Tavern. I don't normally right negative reviews, but this place didn't even try to pretend to be a restaurant. BLAND - this word is on repeat in the reviews. read more

Food is great, beers on tap are pretty good. We usually get the Fried Chicken Sandwich or Kobe Burger, both are very good. The seating is tough with little kids- high top tables, and there isn't a lot of room in the dining room. It gets loud with all the people and tvs. Otherwise, our go to spot in Bedford for burgers and beers. read more

Excellent atmosphere, waiter kicked ass! Great selection of beers, food menu not huge but to the point. The only thing that no 5 stars and this might sound silly but no ranch dressing!! What restaurant has no ranch dressing for salads or wings??? Food came out quick and was good! Thank you read more

Needed a new place to try and maybe even frequent. Got here, cute environment, server was friendly, not many meal choices, but it's a tavern so of course there's basic mainstays. They had different versions of things to give it some individuality. Had the steak. It was excellent and the vegetable served with it was amazing. Looked small but it was so filling. Will definitely be back! read more
