Some of the Best breakfast and Customer Service we have ever experienced. Their ham and eggs are absolutely the best. If ever traveling from Brookings to Grants Pass, stop in at the River Valley Restaurant and give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great little diner- unfortunately I have celiac- the waitress was very helpful and warned me that pretty much the safest thing for me was a salad. I had the chefs salad and my non celiac spouse had a delicious looking breakfast with amazing looking hash browns. So if you have celiac or need gluten free, they don't have much, but if there's no issues, this place is awesome read more

For starters, the woman who hosted and served us was very friendly, with us and all of the other patrons. She works hard to make each customer feel welcome. The food, HIT the SPOT! 3 of us had BLTs with fries, and we couldn't stop eating it, it was all so good! Perfectly cooked bacon, with fresh romaine and tomato on nicely crispy toast. Yum. Really good Arnold Palmer's, with refills that kept coming. Even though we were full, we decided it would be a good idea to try a dessert. We opted for the homemade blackberry cobbler, and it was the perfect sweet ending to a delicious lunch!! Ambience is bright and open, feels like a real community spot. read more

The food was delicious, I got the bacon scramble and it had quite a lot of bacon, scrambled with eggs, hashbrowns and I got the option of a pancake. All was very good and served quickly! read more

This place is an amazing Mom and Pop vibe diner. They have a an item called Mt.Ashland and it is in fact a mountain of food on your plate piled high with eggs cheese ham potatos and topped with gravy. We split it between 3 people and still struggled to finish it. Very reasonably priced, clean atmosphere with very helpful staff :) read more

The food is tasty and portions are generous. The staff get pretty busy, but are very nice. I would guess its popularity causes it to be pretty busy most of the time but it's definitely worth the wait! Shout out to BJ! read more

No complaints. Great service. Great breakfast. I had their homemade corn beef hash. I'd say it's the best I've ever had in a restaurant. The coffee was good with plenty of refills. We left full and happy. read more

When we were there they were extremely busy with a line to get a table. It was Sunday morning and very few alternatives, so we decided to wait. Amazingly we didn't have to wait long. And despite being so busy, the order was quick, food was done perfectly and quick, and the staff was cheerful with good service. Totally amazing. read more

Always a warm place to sit down, get a great breakfast, anyway you like. The staff are first class, attentive, and always with a smile. read more

I don't normally leave reviews. But when you come here and need to make room for the Mt. Ashland iykyk. There is no better place than their facilities. The bathrooms are like the ones at your home. Great place! read more

This was the bomb!!! Great food and portions! Great service... I think her name was Cassie..... we had a large group of motorcycle ladies and 100% will promote this place! We will be back! read more

My former review still stands. Just wanted to do a lunch menu update since there isn't a website & a new menu update hasn't been posted in a while. The staff is great, the food is down-home, what more can you ask for? The only reason it isn't 5 stars is that I think they could stand to do some updating &/or deep cleaning & fixing up of the dining room seating. They're very busy, especially during the breakfast & lunch rushes, so I'm sure they can find a way to sink some capital into updating the front of the house, especially now that we're going into summer & so many people will be passing through town while going to & from the coast. Either way, it's a great little spot that I've now visited 5 times in the past month while in the area, visiting. Hint - the cheeseburger with a side is simple perfection (& under $10). read more

Jessica is my absolute favorite!! She treats us like family and always anticipates our needs. Best in call!!

Deb was my waitress and she was the star of the show. Knowledgeable and attentive without being obsequious. Good decaf, served hot. I ordered two eggs scrambled w/homemade hash, potatoes and biscuit. It was served hot, thank you. Eggs were fine. Potatoes included onion. I would have preferred a tad crispier and fully cooked onion. I was hoping the corned beef hash would be the star of the meal, but it was not - it was overcooked to the point of being quite dry. read more

River Valley Restaurant - Homemade corned beef hash! Yea! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cave Junction, Oregon

Decent diner food in Cave Junction! This is a good place to sit down and have breakfast or to sit and have lunch. Their various egg dishes are all delicious. This is where I go sit and sit down when I really want some pancakes! Their burgers are tasty. The lunch menu is quite satisfying! I just wish they were open past three! read more

Mostly eat breakfast there. Plenty of food. Great hash browns. Good service. Have ate soup and sandwich, really good soup

I had hoped this would be my next go to place for breakfast but I was sadly disappointed. For a small town restaurant the food quality is pathetic. You could tell the eggs were factory mass produced, the color, taste were all subpar. The same is true with their bacon. The service was ok but the staff was more concerned with catching up with their regulars that several tables were ignored. Do yourself a favor and drive the extra miles to GP and hit the Powder Horn, the food is worth the trip! read more

People are so nice here. Good food. Highly recommended if you are crossing redwood highway and need to have a rest. read more

We stopped in for breakfast while passing through River Valley and enjoyed the excellent service and food at River Valley Restaurant. We ordered the Mt Ashland home fries to share (amazing). The kids got pancakes and we each ordered a few other classic breakfast items. Everything tasted great but what really earned this experience five stars for us was our waitress. Our 3yo son had decided before we went into the restaurant that he wanted gummies. We tried to explain to him several times that we were going to a restaurant and there wouldn't be gummies, but that didn't stop him from trying to order them from the waitress two or three times. The last time he tried when our waitress came to check on us, we started to explain to him again there weren't gummies. The waitress leaned in and whispered to me: "we actually do have gummies in the back, would you like me to bring some out?" My expression was likely something, but I nodded and each of the kids were brought a small cup of gummy bears. It completely made their meal. And ours. read more

It is always such a great dinning experience for us when we eat at River Valley Restaurant. Staff is always so friendly. Service is always on point. Food is AMAZING. I love the option of inside or outside dinning. Especially when we are there in a group with rowdy children. I always leave there with a smile and a full tummy. read more

The food was delicious, the service fast and friendly, and the prices were amazingly low considering the cost of food right now. $30 for 2 full meals with plenty of leftovers for at least 2 more meals. The staff worked really well together to make sure all the customers were taken care of. Great little diner that I will definitely come back to when I'm in Cave Junction! read more

Nice enough place. I went here because of the good yelp reviews, but it was not what I expected. Got the biscuits and gravy with eggs. Disappointing. Gravy seemed straight out of a can. Smooth with some pepper added. Not your better known sausage gravy that I assumed it would be. Eggs were scrambled but very rubbery. Edible but I won't return next time I am in town. Not what the reviews proclaim. Waitress was the lone bright spot. Very friendly. read more

Excellent food and down to earth people.warm and cozy. Loved it. So. Come to cave junction oregon for some good grub.

I got there right as they closed at 3:00. They offered to make cold sandwiches. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious and they gave me lots of extras such as avocado extra tomatoes. Their potato salad is homemade and delicious. The staff is very friendly and anxious to do a stellar job. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody. Very clean and inviting. read more

Ordered two french toast with eggs and bacon for myself, chicken philly for the wife, two cheeseburgers for the kids to go. The restaurant was packed but everything came out in a timely manner and staff were friendly as always. Interior was busy, tables and countertops were clean or being tended to quickly. Minus one star for the chicken philly not holding together all too well, the meats and veggies would just fall out..other than that no problems here read more

Welcoming staff and delicious food ! One of the best patty melts ever. Even during COVID they were able to prepare an amazing meal to go !! read more

River Valley Restaurant - a basket of onion rings and french fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cave Junction, Oregon

The food is great and the servers are very friendly and remember you! Great place to eat!

We were looking for quick, solid breakfast fare. Our experience was all of that, plus a little more. My mate got eggs Benedicts. Home maid Hollandaise sauce. I got pancakes and eggs and bacon. Again, it was just what I had hoped for. Now, for the reason I gave it 5 stars... Better than expected service, fresh scones. These two scones were off the charts good. Crispy on the outside, really moist inside. Sorry about the bad pic. They were a so good, we'd eaten 1 1/2 before I thought to snap a photo. read more

Excellent Chicken fried steak ! Among the best I have ever eaten. Huge portions and friendly wait staff along with quick service make this place a winner. read more

I visited this little gem during a business trip. It's right off the highway and super convenient. Looks to be a family owned and operated business. Food was quick and very good I had the River Valley Club Deluxe I believe it was called. Most of all I want to compliment the services and the kindness. The lady who helped me did so with a smile and you could tell loved her customers. Hope to try the beef and barley soup I've seen everyone post here but they didn't have it on my visit sadly. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area and need a bite to eat and want to support your local business. read more

Little white house with a front porch gives the impression of a country kitchen. Stop in but be careful when you walk in the side door. There is a tale smack tab two steps in front of you so be prepared to smile and say hello to whomever is seated there. Family friendly and obviously a local favorite. We stopped in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to find a menu filled with classic favorites. Portions are ample and so is the service. Prices are just right for the pocket. Simple decor and long table seating lends to good conversation with some of the local folks. A Sunday favorite for many. read more

River Valley Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cave Junction, Oregon

The breakfast options in Cave Junction aren't exactly overwhelming. There is Taylor's, which in my opinion is the best breakfast in a 100-mile radius, but one can only eat there so often. There's a bagel places that charges $4 for a bagel with cream cheese and is hardly ever open. And then there's River Valley Restaurant. Being a city dude living rurally for the first time, I was a little nervous about going to a small, local restaurant. The eating area has a very homey feel--there are probably less than 20 tables and they're usually taken. When my partner and I walked in for the first time, we definitely felt people's stares, but not in a bad way; just in a small town way. After we overcame our own feelings of awkwardness, we had a great time. The prices at RVR are what breakfast prices should be. They're more expensive than cooking breakfast at home, but cheaper than most restaurants I've been to. I've been there for breakfast three or four times and lunch once, and am always pleasantly surprised when I get the bill. I've had a different server every time I've been to the restaurant, but each one has been as friendly as the previous. They know the names of all the regulars and take the time to get to know the new folks too. My order has always been correct (they even helped me figure out how exactly I like my eggs cooked) and comes out in a reasonable amount of time. Although this is mainly a breakfast place, I find their lunch food better. Their burgers and tuna melts remind me of New Jersey diner food, which is possibly the greatest compliment a restaurant can get. Their breakfast is good, and I like it, but they're still my second or third choice. read more

Had the pancakes one day for breakfast and let me tell you, these pancakes are awesome. Great people
