The ambiance of this restaurant is really amazing. The parking area looked packed but our large family of 7 was quickly seated outdoors by the river. It was really beautiful and relaxing. The mango iced tea was amazing. The food was also really good! I wanted to give a special mention to the photographer. He was super nice and provided a free picture postcard of our family. What a special treat! read more

Great spot next to the river with great views. A majority of their seating is outside. The staff were very friendly and accommodating for our party of 13. Pretty good beer options at the bar that were on tap. The food came out fairly quickly for a large party. We mostly got burgers which were pretty good. It was nice that they had a photographer coming around to take pictures and providing free photos with the option to buy larger prints. It was a nice memento! This bar was family friendly and was busy on a Saturday night. This also seemed like one of the better options in town so I'm glad we made this a spot for our trip to Sequoia National park. read more

The best part about this place is definitely the views from the patio overlooking the river. Even on hot summer days, the fans and misters outside really help, which is easily the restaurant's top feature. Vibe and the views - 5 stars Staff - 5 Stars for friendly and helpful service Fast, attentive, and warm service but as other reviewers pointed out, that is where the positives end. The food is just lacking. Most of the menu is essentially basic bar food with a lot of deep-fried appetizers. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich and was disappointed to find it wasn't a solid chicken breast, but rather a few random pieces of chicken stuffed into a bun. The overall quality of everything we tried fell flat. We even ordered a fruit bowl that was clearly not fresh, so we sent it back. Stick to the salads if you can, there are a few on the menu. While I understand that Three Rivers generally lacks high-quality restaurant options, I would still suggest skipping this place for food. Stop by for a beer, a cocktail, the river view, or even the karaoke they had the night we went. read more

-Cool atmosphere, and restaurant is quite large and gets crowded. We hung out at the bar while waiting for the table. -staff is really, really kind. Service is amazing -food: this is where the restaurant lacks. The bone in buffalo wings were the frozen kind, not fresh. The burgers were dry. Curly fries and beer were good. Owners, just work on making the food better. That's it. Not sure if there are enough staff or space to even cook for such a large number of people. But yeah, work on this and the reviews will improve. Appreciate the great service though read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Loved it! The food was amazing quality, try the wingsss!!!! Got a complimentary photo from John. He was amazing, and made our night!!!!

Cute atmosphere. Food is not great . Had a mushroom burger with what looked like two canned mushrooms. Unseasoned patty . Service is on the slower side. Keep in mind on the menu they give you a 90 mins time limit to dine in. Hard to dine in the 90 mins when it takes 15 just for a server to come to the table. You get half of the tables meals before utensils , then by the time silverware is given the food is cold. Could be a great little spot even during the "slow season" if food and service was a little better. read more

You really can't beat the setup here! We sat outside on the patio, and the view of the river and the surrounding scenery is absolutely gorgeous. It makes for such a relaxing backdrop while you eat. I ordered the bacon swiss chicken sandwich with a side of curly fries, and it was perfect. Sometimes you just want a simple, straightforward meal, and this hit the spot. Everything was fresh, hot, and so tasty. To top it off, I had the mango tea, which was incredibly refreshing and the perfect choice for a warm day by the water. Great view, delicious comfort food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Also, very attentive service. Our glasses didn't go empty. I will definitely be back! read more

Cool pit stop for tourist to check out. Our experience was great. Stopped by more than once while we were around. THE BUGS THOUGH! Not sure if it was a one time thing or a season thing but I do NOT recommend outside sitting after sundown. My wife and I got SWARMED by these little green bugs ( obviously from the River ) the server didn't care too much about how bothering it was to have 10+ bugs on our food. Eventually we had to be asked to be moved in and thankfully we were. Funny part is that shortly after us, about 7-8 other tables from outside also moved in because of the bugs hahaha. Not a bad enough experience to hate the place IMO but should be taken better care of. Maybe a net around the dinning area could solve the issue idk read more

food was pretty good. I have to say setting is absolutely beautiful, but the service was horrible. We cannot get a server to help us for a long time. The table next to us was also getting annoyed because they did not get service. I finally had to flag somebody down to get them to come over they tried to take our plates away when we were not even eat done eating. this is a good place to go but be prepared to sit for a while or ask for service. read more

Let's start with the best - food. I absolutely enjoyed eating at Riverview restaurant, everything came out hot, fully cooked and just with enough flavor. There was always enough cheese on the burger and potato and without a doubt - it will Melt. Butternut squash was creamy and hot too - perfect morning snack. Fish taco - big and crunchy. As for the vibe - how it goes from the name of the restaurant - there is a stunning river view from the outside patio on to the nature and a fast-paced river. Very enjoyable for nature enthusiasts who come to Sequoia to embrace as much of that spirit as possible. There is also a pool and a bar area available. When we came on Monday we were seated promptly and got the menu quickly. The waiting time for the food to come out was a little too long both times we came (20+ mins) but we enjoyed looking at the river in the meantime. Now the service - service was awesome from one of the ladies who was serving at the highest level. Checked a couple of times if we needed anything else, made sure we got our order fulfilled perfectly. And I am not sure but we had to ask for a check - if it's supposed to be like this or it was just forgotten. Anyway For a place that is so hard to get the goods to - good menu variety and on Tuesdays the even have some specials. I heard they host Dj nights and karaoke too Friday-Sunday. Excited to come back on my next trip to Sequoia! read more

TLDR: nice place to eat pre/post sequoia hike Food: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 6/5 Service: 4 We came here on a Monday and it was (surprisingly) moderately full. Service took a while waiting in the front, but they were very nice and accommodating and nice. Shout out to our server (young girl with two nose piercings)! It is a delightful place, next to a small stream. Cool breeze blows over you (likely lower temperature due to stream), and you're surrounded by the beautiful nature while dining outside! Air is fresh, where you can literally SMELL the greenness (not very present in LA). The food is bland, particularly the chilli that wasn't very spicy or... spiced, but the buns were well grilled (slightly crispy) and buttery. It's hard to explain but it feels as if there is nothing wrong with execution, even great but the taste is just not there. It's not bad by any means. The fries were crispy and doesn't taste stale. I liked the mild raunch--maybe because it doesn't taste as strong as regular raunch (I don't like raunch). Also, the portions are MASSIVE; I wouldn't be able to finish even half of what they gave me. The price is certainly worth while. Personally was a fan of their Ginger Beer, Gosling brand (which is not on the menu). However, boyfriend thought it tasted like beer and disliked it. Keep in mind the expectations should usually be lowered for restaurants near national parks, so I'm not complaining too much. I probably wouldn't go here again, but I am a little picky about burgers and such. Definitely worth a visit just from the atmosphere read more

Parking is a little tight but we manage to wait for someone to pull out. We were seated right away and was served almost immediately. Both the fish and chips and chili bake potato were excellent. The only thing I wish they can control is the flies flying around constantly is annoying. Otherwise if it is not too hot, we will definitely seat outside by the river. read more

Thank god for River View Grill and Bar in Three Rivers as this was the only place in town that was open late for food and dining in. We were pleasantly surprised that we found this place and had an actual meal during our long weekend stay! We were staying in Three Rivers for our hiking trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and like most towns outside of a national park, it's rural and small, so options are limited. That's the case for food here, too. We had a hard time trying to find places to eat that were open beyond 8pm and we were starving, given that we were hiking all day. But we saw River View Grill and Bar on our way back into town from the park, so noted to check it out the next day. Since it was a holiday weekend, the place was super busy. We waited for 40 minutes for a table for two as everyone was trying to eat here. But it's worth the wait since it's the only place open late and they have lots of food options, especially the massive burgers that sounded too good to pass up. My partner and I both ordered double cheese burgers with fries, and it was exactly what we needed after a day of exploring. In addition to massive burgers, they have salads, housemade chili, which we also tried and was our favorite item here, craft beers and deep fried appetizers. There's a large outdoor space that looks out to the river, hence, the namesake and there's a bar in the front area where you can play pool. I'm just happy that we didn't need to eat protein bars and deli meat like the other nights during our weekend. The burgers and chili were much-needed sustenance. read more

It was my first time at this restaurant and hands down some of the best costumer service. Me and my friends were here to create a memory and that's what this restaurant did. The photographer was so polite in approaching us to capture this moment. I loved how we were able to keep the copy of the picture! Food was also super good! Live music definitely brought the vibe to this meal! Won't be the the first and last time here! Highly recommend read more

Props to the host and hostess for getting us a table by the water without a crazy long wait. The ambiance was amazing 5/5, the food was 1.5/5. The waitress forgot our zucchini sticks, which frankly wasn't that big of a deal as we had plenty of food. The views by the river are best in town and the live music was great. We shared some wings, and a chicken Swiss sandwich, both were honestly not good. The wings were mushy and just not good. The sandwich bun was stale and the fried chicken was just over breaded and overcooked. Hand a local beer which was good. The baked potatoes that are featured was okay, nothing crazy, served with a very basic salad. Worth going but don't expect much from the food from what all 4 of us thought. read more

Always an amazing atmosphere. I took my two daughters here for a daddy daughter date and they have a live band. Very friendly staff amazing how welcome and at home they make you feel. We come here from time to time and today a gentleman asked us if we want a picture taken with a free postcard for a visit. There is other options to purchase, but I thought the dresser and the size of picture you get at no cost it certainly thoughtful putting in the extra effort to make their customers feel genuinely appreciate everything. Hopefully we run into him every time and can build a collection. You can find the camera man on Instagram at, VibrantUSA. read more

Had dinner here on our last night of our Sequoia trip. Husband and I both got the loaded baked potato which came with a side salad. Portions were adequate and for being such a simple meal, it was pretty good. No complaints. Server was super sweet and attentive. We opted to sit inside because it was too darn hot to be outside, but with the interior being raised and the deck slightly lower, the view of the river was still awesome. Took a dessert to go (Dubai chocolate cake) to enjoy with a cup of coffee back at our lodge and it was super yummy! Will be dreaming about that cake for days to come. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting this area. Enjoyed it more than another river-front restaurant that was next door to the lodge where we were staying.

This was an impromptu stop for us on our way to our AirBnB after a very long drive. It was one of the only restaurants open on a Monday, and we are so glad for that! We loved sitting out on the patio by the river under the string lights. Our waiter, Juan, was so nice and attentive. The chef was able to accommodate my food modification request. It wasn't too busy, and we had a lovely time. read more

Monday 4pm. Patio. Party of 3. Server was barely present, didn't know if there were any specials though she ended up being good. Buss staff and food runner did well. The food itself was decent. I've had worse burgers and I've had much better burgers. I guess they go for that over the top messy vibe. No real complaints though I hate crispy coated fries. Chicken wings were great. Mango lemonade not so great. The real winner here is the gorgeous view of the river. We would come back. read more

Nope. To set the stage, we were the only Asians in the resturant. We were seated outside but not in one of the river view seats. As the resturant emptied out since it was later at night and before we got our food. Four tables emptied out by the river. We politely asked if it was possible to move us to one of the river view tables b/c that was the only reason we were eating here (we didnt say this part) We mentioned we were out of town and would love a river view seat. We were told their was a waiting list so we couldn't be accommodated. Which is already not true b/c you can always just give the next folks on the list our seats if you want to and it wasnt too busy of a night. Still all of this turned out to be a big fat lie, since the tables were slowly filled 20 and 30 minutes later...so as people were trickling in instead of on a "waitlist". All the people who got seats by the river were white. The food is fine. Unmemorable. I ordered a salad with dressing on the side and they brought it to me fully dressed. I told them I had ordered it with dressing on the side and the dude was like so... do you want me to take it back? No shit bro, you got the order wrong, I told you it was wrong. What do you think? That because I'm an Asian woman Ill just tell you it's fine and eat my food drenched in dressing which i dont like, just cause you got it wrong? Our waitress was very lovely though and made up for most of the rest of it but if you're not white, consider not supporting them b/c they aren't inclusive and do discriminatory microagressive shit. We had a lovely time at all of the other businesses in town, everyone else was super sweet so this experience really stuck out like a sore thumb. read more

This place is older and has a mussty smell along with cigarrets. We aTe out on the deck which was lovely. Cigaret smell was still in the air. Not good. The food was ok hubby had a cup of chili, that he only had one bite And left the rest. His hamburger was also ok. My loaded grilled cheese fair. The cook added avocado but the cheese wasnt grilled onto the bread. The bread was toasted. Not grilled. outside it is magical on the deck, but the food doesn't match what's going on outside as old as the place is I would've imagined better Food. Our bill was $72 and too much to spend for food. You don't eat. That's all I can say. read more

Couple night stay in Three Rivers. Must stop and have drinks and food at River View Grill & Bar. Sit in the patio and enjoy the river view. Misters on patio help cool from the summer heat. The hostess, Heaven, was extremely welcoming and showed us to the pet friendly area. Food selection is good. Lots of burgers to choose from . We opted for wings and loaded baked potato with a salad. All delicious! Will definitely be here again. Maybe tomorrow after visiting the park! read more

The view on the patio looking over the river is great!! The food is standard bar food nothing great, as someone who typically doesn't eat frozen/fried food I was really disappointed but it's obvious this is the vibe here. Bloody Mary was 10/10! Service was pretty bad. Gratituty is added for parties of 6 or more and because of this I believe she didn't care to check on us once after getting our meal because she knew she was getting 18% regardless. She left us sitting for at least 30 minutes after we were done eating before bringing our checks. And no she wasn't busy! Even after asking her for them it took her another 15 minutes. It was actually crazy. read more
