    Meatloaf Melt with "scoop fries" - very good!
    Daniel B.

    Nice stop off on our way home to NJ. Good beer-on-tap selections, great staff, cool vibe throughout, great menu! The meatloaf melt hit the spot on this icy early March afternoon, and the steak tips were great as well. Definitely a favorite spot among locals - the place was packed on an early Sunday afternoon. If we're ever in this area again, we'll be back!

    Umm.. the mermaid theme is very cutesy. They could do a lot more with it to make it appealing to GenZ. I love that you can sit outside and have a view of the dirty smelly river. Truly, chefs kiss. Obviously they cannot control the river but it's nauseating smelling that water while you're trying to eat and then seeing everything that floats by lol. We had front row seats by choice and decided to move rather quickly once we smelled the fishy smell of the river. Like I get the vision, but it's taunton... no way you can have a NICE water view at a restaurant lol. Food was just ok. Drinks were just ok. Wouldn't go back.

    buffalo chicken rangoons

    Party of 3. We came on a Saturday night & had a wait time of about 30 minutes. For appetizers we started with the pretzel charcuterie board (new & delicious!!) buffalo chicken rangoons & a cup of the stuffed pepper soup. The apps were delicious & did not disappoint! For the entree we all opted for the River house pasta caesar salad with grilled chicken, great portion sizes. For Dessert we ordered the make your own smores & chocolate chip cookie skillet both were excellent. The s'mores is great for a group of people! The food was great & so was the service! Our server was friendly & prompt refilling our drinks as needed. Will definitely be back.

    This one was tough... a nice Friday lunch that looked good, great parking and unique menu. We went for the steak tips, fish and chips and buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. The steak was cooked literally perfect. Super tender with an amazing char. The flavor definitely depends on your preference as it has strong pepper flavor. The mashed potatoes were dry and warm/cold when brought out. The fish was fresh and literally just out of the fryer. It was sadly pouring oil still. It definitely could have drained better. The Mac and cheese was good underneath but the top was dry and hard. We tried the dessert. I went with the banana cream pie and was told no because it's "too soupy" so I went with churros which were good. We also went with the chocolate cookie skillet which was under cooked and super soggy. While waiting for dessert the manager comes to the from and starts spraying half a can of the strongest smelling floral febreeze on all the fake trees and plants. This almost caused a migraine for one of us and an asthma attack for another! I've never seen this happen before EVER. When we asked her to stop she asked if we wanted to move and that she couldn't smell anything which was IMPOSSIBLE. That did not affect the score although really weird. The food was hit or miss but for the prices being charged this was a major letdown.

    Love the ambience of this restaurant. Been here twice now. It gets really busy and you can only book reservations for 6+ people so expect a wait unless you arrive early!!! Service is always great and food is really good! I got a burger and everything was perfect!

    I recently went to dinner at Riverhouse with a friend and we couldn't have been happier with the service, food and ambiance. The Mac & Cheese was SO good - highly recommend topping it with buffalo chicken! The outdoor area is adorable. Would recommend this spot, for sure!!

    Pretzel charcuterie
    Kelly C.

    I have been wanting to try the Riverhouse since they opened but never had the opportunity. My friend and I finally decided to give them a try after seeing a post with a pretzel charcuterie board which combined some of our favorite snack items. When arriving I thought the restaurant was nicely decorated, greatly set up and inviting. I loved the nautical mermaid theme. The staff were incredible, super attentive and very helpful with suggestions. Which is why it's hard to make a not so stellar review. I cannot say anything bad about the service or the atmosphere. My complaints are with the food and drinks. We enjoyed the appetizer but it was standard Sysco delivered product, heated and served which included pre-cut cubed cheese, frozen soft pretzel, meat, dill pickles, jarred queso, yellow mustard and spicy mustard. Nothing you couldn't find at a grocery store to make yourself and nothing of restaurant quality to warrant the price we paid for it. We also decided to get margarita flights which they are known for. I love a good margarita so I was looking forward to trying the different flavors. I was surprised when they arrived the color was pale and lacking. You couldn't even distinguish which was which except for the traditional which looked like water. I ordered original, watermelon, blood orange and blackberry. So I was expecting the glasses to look yellow, orange, bright pink & purple (wine color). They all looked baby pink and tasted nothing like the fruits mentioned above. I actually told my friend they all taste like Robetussin cough syrup. Then for our meal, I order the meatloaf sandwich that came with fries. It was simply lacking all flavor, mushy and not good. We decided to treat ourselves with dessert so I saved room and only ate half of my meal. We both ordered the special dessert of the night which was crème brûlée cheese cake. It was totally not what I expected. I truly thought the cheese cake was going to have a crunchy top brûléed shell. Instead it was a slice of frozen cheese cake where the kitchen just torched and burned the top. I didn't even finish it. This place has great potential but needs to rework their menu with a good chef and mixologist. I really wanted to like this place but until something changes, I will not be returning.

Today we had the opportunity to visit the Taunton location for a bereavement luncheon after a family funeral, and I was truly impressed. The luncheon was held in a beautiful private room upstairs that was set up perfectly for our gathering. Everything was elegant, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The meal was served family-style buffet, and every dish was outstanding. The quality of the food was exactly what we've come to expect from La Familia--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly welcoming and attentive to everyone's needs, yet never rushed our group. Considering the emotional circumstances of the day, their kindness and professionalism meant a lot to all of us. And I have to mention the bread--whoever makes it deserves special recognition. I would happily buy a loaf or two every week if I could. A sincere chef's kiss to the entire establishment and especially the function team who handled our event so beautifully. La Familia continues to prove why it's such a special place for our family.

The cornbread was burnt. Nope. Go elsewhere!

    We decided to give this spot a try after we were craving a meal that would not just fill our…read morestomachs but our soul! and I'm glad we chose Nytia's! We ordered two soul food plates -- 1 meat and 2 sides for $19 each. I went with the garlic and herb wings, and my wife got the hot honey wings. Both came with about six wings each, and they were so flavorful and meaty! For sides, we both chose collard greens and mac & cheese. The collard greens were seasoned perfectly, and the mac and cheese was rich and delicious -- definitely comfort food done right. Each meal also came with cornbread, which for me was the only miss of the night; it didn't have much flavor and didn't seem super fresh, but to be fair, we went around 6 PM, so it might've just been late in the day. We tried two desserts -- the pound cake and the peach cobbler. The pound cake was a bit dry, but that peach cobbler? Amazing. Sweet, warm, and full of flavor. We also got a side plate of fried catfish, and wowww... that was a showstopper! Crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned -- I'd honestly make the 30-minute drive again just for that catfish alone. All in all, this spot deserves way more attention. You can tell the food is made with love, and with a few small tweaks, it could easily be one of the best soul food restaurants around. Definitely worth checking out!
