Wow. We needed a place to eat. It was super late and we were unfamiliar with the area. We found this tavern and figured it would be standard bar food. In our opinion, it was the best bar food we've ever had. My wife had the Greek salad and I had the keto plate. Both were amazing. My son had the chicken strips which were also great. The service was excellent. 100% personable, polite and professional. We also had a nice time sitting outside where they had games for the kids. Absolutely recommend this place. read more

Service was good, she checked on us, got our drinks (beers) and talked with us a little bit! We were watching the game so the experience was great. We ordered our food and absolutely demolished it. Buffalo wings and one of their burgers. food was delish. Playlist... PERFECT. We knew the words to every song it was country music. Great vibe. Loved the low lighting and cute decor everywhere. read more

Mediterranean chicken salad & tator tots slapped! If you're in canyon lake and want a late bite to eat I definitely recommend.

Ambiance: Rustic style bar & restaurant right off the river that offers great food options and a full bar! The space was clean and the service was fast. Our bartender was super friendly! Pretty decent food, I enjoyed the chicken fingers and curly fries. My friend recommends the tater tots. Parking onsite, likely gets crowded when it's a busy river float day or concert at the amphitheater. Good pricing and nice ambiance for a chill day in the hill country! read more

River Rose Tavern - Chicken tenders - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Canyon Lake, Texas

This is a nice, family-run restaurant and bar. And it's just casual enough to make this a place a nice part of a day that also includes a visit to a nearby lake or river, with plenty of nice outdoor seating if you're dressed too casually to be seated indoors. Our waitress was fun and energetic and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the newest thing on the menu, Kenny's Keto, and we also ordered the most popular thing in the menu, Shaved Ribeye Tacos. We would both gladly order the same thing again. The keto plate came with two grilled chicken breasts topped with melted (real) cheese and bacon, along with some pico de gallo, slices of avacado, and a side of ranch dressing. And the taco plate came with two tacos and a side of frijoles borrachos (a delicious bowl of pinto beans in a beer-infused broth). Really tastey! It's not a fancy restaurant, just a neighborhood tavern in a small town. But we're really glad we stopped by. read more

We love river rose food! They are close by, the food is delicious and the people are friendly!

Drea was our bartender and she was great! Very friendly and welcoming. The food was always too tier I have literally never had anything bad here. The pretzel is so warm and perfect texture- the queso and mustard were also perfect. I got a river water and it was so light and refreshing. We love it here for the atmosphere inside and outside too. read more

We came here the night before 4th of July, and it was raining pretty bad. I preface my review with that because of my rating. I called ahead because we were a party of 9. They reserved a table for us which was great because the place was already packed. We had 4 kids with us. It took over 50 minutes to get our food, they should have gave us chips and salsa on the house. Our waitress told us at the end there is only one chef back there. Again, not complaining per say, but at least let us know that ahead of time. The ribeye tacos were amazing and the pretzel. The beans were also very good, and I don't usually like beans. Drinks weren't bad, I got a frozen watermelon margarita and was charged $1 for it being frozen and an additional $1 for the flavor. They had tvs so it's more of a sports bar vibe and there is patio seating. I was just in town for the weekend. Would I go back? Not so sure. read more

Great bar atmosphere convenient location fun environment someplace to go late at night

Everything was so good! There was not one thing that we did not like. We got a little bit of everything, and we really enjoyed our drinks. I got the Fresh Watermelon Margarita, and it was super refreshing and it was the perfect ratio of liquor for me. My husband discovered his new favorite beer here which was the Devil's Backbone. He now gets it occasionally whenever he sees it. I wouldn't have expected Truffle Burrata in a bar/casual setting, but this was delicious. We shared all of the items we ordered, and I new that we had to try the Ribeye Tacos, it was more of my husband's favorite but I still enjoyed it. My favorite was the Loaded Tots, and I try to recreate it at home! read more

This was our second time here since the reopening. We went when they opened and loved the vibe and knew it was our scene. Ordered a beer(and opened a tab) at the bar and sat outside. We wanted to order food and the waitress brought us menus. We put in an order for an app before we ordered entrees. 20 min later, no app, We didn't see original waitress again after that. We did get a second round of drinks from another waitress. When those were gone we finally asked yet another waitress if she could check on our app....turns out it was never put in and we never got a chance to put in an order for entrees either. We closed out and assumed it was bc it was busy after reopening. Even though tables that came in after us ordered food and had it before we left. Gave them another chance tonight. Wasn't busy.Arrived before 8pm on a Friday night. Ordered a drink at the bar and he gave us menus as we told him we were going to sit outside and planned to order food. So we opened a tab.Sat there for 20 min, drinks empty.No one came to the table once. Meanwhile I could see straight into the window and watch a waitress texting on her phone. So gave up. Went back into the bar and closed out with the original bartender. He was friendly, just figured he would ask if we had been served since we told him we planned on eating. Meanwhile as my husband was paying, I looked to the left and over the half doors and I saw a younger waitress (that I saw at a table outside when we walked out) standing there vaping!!!! Like what on earth?! I'm sure the owners aren't aware so hope they are now. The waitresses had no sense of urgency or a care in the world. Just mind blowing. I was a waitress when I was younger as well and busted my butt to make sure everyone was happy and served in a timely manner. Ended up going to Elio's as usual where food and service are always a 10/10. Zero clue how the food is here bc we've never had a chance to try it lol. read more

River Rose Tavern - Drinks menu!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Canyon Lake, Texas

Settled in the Canyon Lake area, this little spot doesn't appear to be much if you're just passing by but looks are deceiving. When you come in it has a divey feel with a bit of down home mixed in. They have live music a lot of nights and it becomes over 21 after 9pm. We decided to pop in here with our group after a long pool day for some drinks and grub. We had some of the chicken strips, a burger, pulled pork sandwich and some brisket tacos. All was devoured without a word. If no one is talking, the food must be good! The patio has some games that the kids played while the adults had a few beverages while winding down. The wait staff was attentive and very friendly. I recommend a stop if you're in the area. read more

Disappointing... We went on a Friday night and it wasn't very busy so we sat at an open table outside after one of the waitstaff said it was open seating. It wasn't full and half of the other tables had food boxed up and were ready to leave. We waited 15 minutes and several servers came in and out multiple times and made eye contact with us but no one ever came to serve us so we eventually left. read more

A true fun sports oriented place right on the river. Super casual. Inside was nice and cool. Staff was amazingly friendly. Service was quick for being very busy. Nachos were plenty for 6! Tacos look small but packed with meat and garnishes. Beans were nicely spiced. read more

Great place to stop and have a beer if you're in the canyon lake area. Right off of the river so we've been there with our friends a few times after going to concerts at White Water Amphitheater. They have a nice little patio outside and they sometimes have a band.... Sometimes a DJ. They do have game nights so it's a cool little atmosphere that you will enjoy. A few tourists and a lot of locals. The food is typical bar food but it's not bad. read more

First time coming here I came for a Halloween party. Great party I have to say! Yes, the place was packed and most dressed for the occasion! I was able to order the loaded tater tots before the kitchen closed. It was quite a large portion which I couldn't finish. Fast forward to a Sunday recently I went in for brunch they were featuring; enough said on that. Another time a friend and I went in for Bingo night. We shared the loaded nachos. I'm new in the area and this is a local hangout where everyone gets to know your name if you go often enough. They have a lot of events to get you going back for more! read more

Kid -friendly, dog-friendly, live music indoors, and some creative dishes--what more can you possibly want? I don't recall the name, but the appetizer with sliced tomatoes, Mozzarella , pesto, and flatbread is a winner. Likewise the Philly cheese steak with waffle fries is great. We not only had attentive service from our own waitress, but were visited by one that had waited on us months ago. These gals love what they're doing. read more

River Rose is a nice little dive bar that just feels right. They have a great outdoor patio with country music on the weekends and it is perfect for when getting off the river or just needing some hill country relaxation. The service has always been super friendly and their burgers are very tasty! read more

Great service and great food, they handled our large group of chaos makers with skill and without attitude. Highly recommended.

How fun is river rose! Came here for dinner while visiting canyon lake. We arrived at about 8PM and were warned there was an hour wait for food. Ok, got it, it did take about that long. The place was packed and it's really not that big. Menu has mainly fried foods. There were a few errors like got fries when we ordered tots, apps came out with the food rather than before like they said. The food was good and they fixed the mistakes. Buttt the atmosphere is great! We sat out on their deck and they had live music and lawn games. They had a good selection of cocktails too. read more

Food is delicious, drinks are great and service is wonderful. The loaded tater tots are unusual but so good and a great combination you won't be disappointed. Also got the quesadillas, they were good too. I didn't realize it came with pico on the inside but next time I will ask without pico. The green sauce that came on the side for the quesadillas was very good too. The frozen watermelon margarita, I was so surprised it tasted so good, and not tart nor too sweet. Very refreshing on a hot summer day. Ashley our server for one day, because we came twice in the four day period of being in the area. Ashley was great, she was quick and always checked on us. We will be back when we're in the area. read more

Don't waste your time coming in at 8:56pm. The bar tender rudely stated to us if you're looking for food we are closed. Well we are a family of 4 with 2 kids so we didn't come for just drinks. The website says they close 11pm. My husband says this to her. She comments back we decide to close whenever for the kitchen. Not good business practices. read more

We were in town for a concert and stopped for dinner. We had a burger and fries. They were busy. It took more than an hour to get a burger.

We came here the day before for a drink and the waitress told us about the awesome food so we stopped by the next day for lunch. I ordered the tacos and my husband the nachos. My husband got the nachos in minutes, I on the other hand waited and waited, watching people that came after me getting their food. At least 30 minutes passed when my husband asked where my tacos were. She went to the back to check. It took a while and she finally came out with the food. My corn tortillas were hard in spots and the meat tasted over salted, but at this time I didn't care, I inhaled the food because I was very hungry. Needless to say,the billboard plastered throughout the road that says home made food from scratch is deceiving. My food was mediocre and over priced. I will not come here again while in the area. read more

Pretty cool hang out with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food was extremely flavorful for the price point. Everything was better than described on the menu.
