    After a long day of hiking in Sequoia we ate dinner here. The service was fast, staff was friendly and funny and food was terrific!

    Great service really polite, and nice waitress. The weather was perfect with the slight breeze. The food was good. The drinks were cold. Perfect ambience to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.

    We stopped at the Riverview Bar and Grill just at the end of town at Three Rivers California, really close to Sequoia national Park in Kings Canyon and it' has a quirky bar atmosphere with a really nice patio that overlooks a river. The food is a good value. Their boneless chicken wings came out as an order of 20 and it was a inexpensive. The side order curly fries also came out in a large basket. We also had their kick's chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce which also came out on a huge bun. Overall, a good value and probably one of your last options if you're going to one of the National parts I give it to thumbs up.

    The fry portion is ridiculous

    The food was good. The service wasn't bad. It did start getting packed around 1. Sooo....if you don't like crowds I would suggest going right when they open. Dog friendly. With all the dogs I seen come through there within the hour I was there eating, I'd recommend making a dog menu. People would love that. We sat outside where of course everyone wants to sit because of the river view. But the inside looked nice and quiet. Also looked very clean. The bar looks spacious

    Seating area outside

    My family and I went 3 times to eat. We have tried several different burgers and all of it was great. Atmosphere was super friendly with great service. Nice seating area right by the river. Best place to eat and have a good time in the area. Very much recommended.

    Patty Melt with sweet potato fries
    Cheryl W.

    I loved the view by the river. We came in for an early dinner. We had the patty melt with sweet potato fries and the fish and chips. This is a great place to go after Sequoia or traveling through 3 Rivers. All the staff and bartenders were nice and welcoming. Inside there's a small bar area as well if you just want to stop by for a quick drink.

    Cucumber cocktail

    5 stars for the delicious cocktails and views. I got the grilled cheese which was also good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Appreciate the fans on the deck to keep the flies away!

    BLT with sweet potatoe fries

    Came here for dinner for our first night out while visiting the sequoia national park. It was outside but they had fans and misters on. The river was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and food was decent. Drinks were good. Not a bad place to stop and have dinner.

    Eating next to the river

    Having lunch next to the river is a beautiful experience. The food is good, very clean place, & friendly service. The views!

    Onion rings
    Carrie S.

    They have a really nice outside patio overlooking the river. It was a little chilly but they had a lot of heaters. I had the Patty melt and upgraded to onion rings. The onion rings were really good. Crispy but not greasy. The patty melt was ok. The burger was great. The flavors were there. The bread was lightly grilled I guess. The bread was white bread and still soft which I thought was odd. I'm not sure if that's how they are usually made. I was disappointed. Service was good.

    Amazing place and I am glad I stumbled across it by accident. Live not too far from here and now it will be my getaway. Starting with the server her name is Brooke she was on par and one of the best servers that I have encountered for a long time. Hospitable and polite got the order right. We celebrated our dogs 3rd birthday here and we will be back again. Beautiful view of the river and food was amazing got the cod n fries and grilled chicken with bacon sandwich. The food was flavorful and tasty. Excellent service provided. Rockin Raffi gives this 2 thumbs up Brook thank you for making this a memorable experience for us and Shugar

    Mushroom Swiss burger. Can you find the mushrooms?

    Come checkout the Stag in Exeter. Great vibes, great customers, the best staff. The best popcorn in…read moretown.

    The Stag isn't just a bar -- it's a living, breathing paradox wrapped in simplicity and nostalgia…read more A sanctuary for the sunburned and the soul-weary, sitting square in the heart of Exeter like a shrine to simpler sins. The sign, half invitation, half dare: Enter if you're thirsty for something that isn't on the menu of life. Inside, the air is thick with laughter, cheap perfume, and the musk of memory. The wood is old, the stools are crooked, and the light is low enough to make everyone look like the best version of themselves. You can feel the ghosts here -- drifters, dreamers, field hands, maybe even a few saints who took a wrong turn. They all linger in the hum of the jukebox. Ah, the jukebox -- electronic altar of heartbreak. It glows on the wall like an electric confession booth, playing Merle, Patsy, and Johnny for the price of a few credits and a little piece of your heart. Each song unfurls like a slow whiskey burn -- sweet, sad, and just a bit dangerous. For a few minutes, everyone in the room is part of the same melody, the same ache. And behind the bar -- the real magic. The women who run this joint aren't just bartenders; they're high priestesses of the pour, keepers of secrets, and therapists with better lighting. They don't just serve drinks -- they dispense absolution one glass at a time. They smile like they've seen it all and still find the world worth laughing at. Their pours are generous, their eyes sharp, and their patience mythological. The Stag isn't polished, and thank the gods for that. It's honest. It's human. It's the kind of place where time stretches, stories spill, and strangers become drinking buddies before the song ends. When you finally pull the door (real hard) and step into the cool Exeter night, the stars feel closer somehow. You can still hear the jukebox faintly -- one last chorus chasing you into the dark. And you know, deep down, that The Stag isn't just a bar. It's a reminder. A reminder that imperfection is beautiful, whiskey is holy, and that the best kind of truth usually comes from a woman with a towel over her shoulder and a grin that says, "Another round?"

    A dive bar if I've ever seen one. A small hole in the wall place that you can easily pass by if…read moreyou don't know what your looking for. It's a small brown building with a small parking lot next to it. It's nice though that its open at 0630 so that the nightshift hospital staff can come here and decompress or send me off on my last day. First thing you notice about this place is the smell of urine from the bathrooms. You get use to it after a bit. As well as the "regulars" hanging out at the bar area. It's extremely small. Area for a pool table, some tables at the far end by the bathrooms, and a long bar counter. At least the tvs are nice and clear and big to watch games or sports as need be. There was a good 18 of us here. Prices are rediculously cheap. I'm glad they understand it's a dive bar and should thus be dive bar prices. A michelada was $4. A mimosa was $5. Bag of chips was $1. They have these sour candy shots for $4. The sour candy shots were really good. Michelada was simple. Bloody Mary mix with beer. But they were well made. I also had a crown royal apple with redbull that was really good. I don't remember how many drinks we went thru but it did the job and we were all feeling good. Customer service is good. Dude working behind the bar worked fast. I hear this place is pretty good when the sun is up, but has a pretty rough reputation at night with lots of shady people coming in at night. I definitely wouldn't come in here by my self even in the day time. But with a large group it's pretty cool. Nice and cheap. If you don't mind the urine smell and dilapidated look.
