    Everything was clean, service was good. Plenty of seating and the food and drinks were fresh. We weren't totally thrilled with all of the children running around, but if that's your thing, then this will be a good place for you. We were a little taken back when we were looking around at the decor we found cobwebs that were pretty prominent. They had been there for sometime judging by the size of them. But at the end of the day I guess cobwebs are better than the food and drink areas being dirty. Regardless of this the Riverhead cider house is still a relaxing fun place to visit.

    I will NEVER come back. On the website, it says that you allow dogs and then when we got there, they refused us and three other families away. The owner wasn't even there and the manager on duty just kept saying that's the way it is and too bad. "Read the sign on the door". The manager admitted that this has been happening all summer and they are not doing anything about it. Not contacting Google or yelp to change the statement. Just allowing people to drive all the way out there only to be turned away. We drove from Long Beach Ny and we couldn't even sit outside. Update: Within the last 24 hours I reported the issue to Google to ask them to change it and they did. I'm not upset because I couldn't bring my dog. Rules are rules. What's upsetting to me is that you had this happening ALL summer and not once did anyone think to contact Google or Yelp and ask them to change it.

    We stopped in on a quiet Monday afternoon, which was great. Plenty of seating inside with great AC on a hot day. We ordered two flights; one sweet and the other, semi-sweet. Overall, they all tasted great. The PBJ, tropical summer and strawberry were our top 3 out of the 8. If we were in the area, we'd definitely go back.

    A great place to go and socialize with friends! Love that there's lots of seating inside and out especially on a nice day. There's also live music sometimes and board games available. The drinks are always fun with lots of variety to try different ciders. There is also food available if you want a snack with your drinks. The large pretzel is always fun to share with a group! I always recommend going here when friends are visiting!

    Family Fun Day, 15 of us on a beautiful Sunday. We were lucky to get 3 tables together. Then we walk in the back and there is a whole other section? Watched them make my guacamole and then finished off a few pizzas and hot pretzels with mustard. We tried the black cherry and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. As busy as you would think it was they had plenty of bartenders to get our drinks. Overall definitely a 5 live music that we sang along too.

    I visited this establishment on a LIRR tour. I was surprised by the amount of cider you receive to taste. The flavors were so good. The black cherry was my favorite. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly. The cider house was quiet and the buffalo wings were delicious. I would definitely return to this cider house. The hard cider was good and the interior was so nice. It felt cozy and welcoming. I'll definitely tell everyone I know about this place.

    Came here with a group and had a nice time. It's a sizable place that's nicely decorated. Came here on a rainy day and it was still packed. They have a nice array of ciders and beers to select from, all equally delicious. The food itself is eh at best, but realistically you're not coming for food. Overall it is nice and I will be back again.

    Always love coming to RCH. It's such a fun spot no matter the season or weather. Great drinks and vibe. Love the food and the people are always so friendly. I had my birthday here in the private room a few years ago and they went above and beyond.

    We love this place !! GREAT cider, fabulous flavors, and this time, we had the pleasure of sipping our cider flavors to the cover tunes of Billy Joel, played by someone who knew their way around a piano keyboard. I had to make sure it wasn't Billy himself tickling those ivories. It wasn't. As for the flavors we got, I honestly don't remember them all.... one was pineapple, another was honeycrisp. The third was either blackberry or black cherry, and I don't know what the 4th one was, which is too bad cuz it was my favorite. It was a weird name, too. Anyway, they were all really tasty and well made. This place is such a treat for us cuz we don't have any cider places back home THAT WE LIKE, and we don't exactly get out here all that often, so when we can show up to Riverhead Cider House, we're thrilled.

    Live music, great drinks and good food. What could be better?I love this place and will go back many more times this year. Excellent hard cider. Really wonderful flavors while maintaining dry characteristics. Great experience at the bar. The staff is awesome and will hook you up with whatever flavors you are looking for. Delicious, easy drinking hard ciders without the overly sweet apple flavor that some other hard ciders have. All of the ciders on tap were nicely blended and enjoyable to drink. It is nice to be able to have a flight to taste all 4 hard ciders on tap. They also have beer for non cider fans to enjoy and a decent selection. Always a great time, great atmosphere and selections of ciders change while still keeping some reg favorites. They serve food here and the pizza and soft pretzel is very good and I recommend. Overall, this place is great and a good time to come out and drink with family & friends.

    Lots of different ciders, some beers and wines. Nice good selection, moderately good pizzas, amazing amc and cheese and other bar food. It's self service, order at the counter and wait. Spacious place with lots of seating. Good for families and groups. Fun afternoon for all of us.

    I love the cider house! I came here today with a few friends and as always we had a great time and experience. We played some games, ate some good food and had some amazing ciders. The standouts being the apple Annie and the crimson. Great tastes and honestly a couple of new favorites of mine. I also love the set up here, the decor is super cute and they have a bunch of games you can play as well. The guacamole and the pretzel are always a stand out for me. This is just the perfect environment to kill a few hours. Overall, no matter the time of year, the cider house is a great time with good friends and family. I highly recommend it!

    Before I visited Riverhead Ciderhouse, I would have sworn to you that I didn't like cider. But after a quick consultation and recommendation from my friendly Ciderhouse bartender, I found my perfect match and was hooked. Also, I'm a HUGE hot pretzel fan and the pretzel here absolutely gets my seal of approva (although the sauces were not great the pretzel itself was awesome). I hung out both inside and out and the vibes were immaculate all around. Definitely recommend.

    Service was really poor and not very hygienic to be honest. Maybe try again another time the food was alright.

    Liked the vibe here a lot. They have a food court set up -- not table service but it worked. The drink selection was great.

    I was in the area on a beautiful day and decided to pop into a new-to-me local spot for a drink…read more That's how I ended up at New England Cider Company. It's tucked inside an old industrial park. If you're not looking closely, you'll drive right past it. Outside, there's a casual setup with a tent, whiskey barrel tables, and some umbrellas, which sounds nice in theory, but the grass really needed a cut. It kind of took away from the whole outdoor vibe. I was planning to sit out there, so that was a bit of a letdown. Inside was a pleasant surprise. It's much bigger than it looks from the outside. The bar is right at the entrance, which made it feel like a high-traffic zone, so not ideal for lingering. There was a private party in the main room, so I headed back outside to enjoy the sun. Now to the cider: I asked for 2 samples and ended up with the cider that I didn't actually choose, but hey, I'm not one to make a fuss so I went with it. The cider I wanted was actually pretty tasty, so I might return just to give the menu another try. You know how some ciders are sweet and yummy? The one I got was the kind that tastes sour but has a higher ABV. Still good, but my goal was sweet and yummy. Service was fine but not overly warm. Nothing bad, just not memorable. Would I go back? Sure, on a really nice day. If they had live music, I'd absolutely give it another shot. There's potential here, especially for cider fans, but it's not quite my go-to yet. They did have a very cool bathroom sink. Points for that!

    Awesome cider at this establishment! Always serving new flavors of the season. Definitely worth to…read morecheck this place out if you enjoy a good cup of hard cider.
