    The Hangover II
    Amber S.

    I heard about the stuffed hash browns here and had to give it a shot. They absolutely didn't disappoint. The servers are all so pleasant and welcoming. We had the restaurant mostly to ourselves so the vibe was perfect for an early morning breakfast. Great mimosas, fast and friendly service, and the hangover 2 is my absolutely fave! The various savory flavors causing a party in my tummy some of the best biscuits and gravy I've had. I love this place and will continue to come back

    The Hangover II- stuffed hash browns with biscuits and gravy
    Steven H.

    First time here based on other good Yelp reviews. Saturday breakfast, 9 am- ish. Not too busy. We ordered Hangover II, and the Collage Special The PROS: Really big portions. Coffee was good. Pet friendly patio. Hollandaise sauce is nice, eggs were cooked perfectly. Pancakes had a nice vanilla flavor. To-go boxes were a must. The CONS: Most notably, the food was warm, but not hot. Not cold, but it was a bit odd, seeing how they were not that busy. The restaurant itself is comfortable, but could benefit from some touch- up and a little scrubbing, but it was by no means run-down. Same with the rest rooms. Clean, but a few items were missing. BOTTOM LINE: Pleasant and attentive staff. A fine local restaurant. If you are in the area, your tummy will not be disappointed. Rating: 6.5/10 PS - You can't actually see the river's edge from the cafe, but the access point is only about a 2 block walk away.

    Delicious American River eggs Benedict, and Belgian waffles with fruit.

    Excellent eggs Benedict with thick slice of ham! Waffles were perfectly textured, and topped off with fresh fruit! Service from Ashton was prompt and attentive, also! Definitely coming back for brunch!

    We have been here many times. The atmosphere is adaptable for kids, pets, parties, hangover spot, you name it.. the food is always amazing and they will allow you to do a split/share plate. I recommend the Hangover II however I did not order that item on this day. The waiter/bartender is attentive and the portion size is awesome! This is a 5 star recommendation.

    After a 6 mile river walk nearby. We've stopped in here to grab some breakfast. Nice and friendly staff. The portions here were decent for what you get. I ordered their griddle with pancakes with a side of hash browns, and my friend ordered their stuffed hash brown. My eggs were cooked just right. The serving size for the pancakes was worth it cause I am a pancakes kind of girl!!! I got 6 pancakes total! I was happy! I could see ourselves coming here after hiking the trails nearby. This will definitely be our go-to place to grab a hearty breakfast!

    Stuffed hash browns were great!

    Good food, great service and generally clean and well placed tables and decor! Came by on a whim and they were really nice about letting us put our electric scooter and skateboard under the table. I'll definitely be back.

    Rivers Edge Cafe: grilled cheese

    We love our weekend meal outings and try to look for another go to we can frequent. Sad to say though the service from our waitress was spectacular, they really do need the extra hands to provide timely service. There are two staff waitress and probably one cook which delayed receiving our order. Food ok, prices are up there with nothing to look forward to spend on a meal. I had a simple grilled cheese, he a burger. Again, I stress the waitress was amazing, quality of food and menu options have room to improve.

    Front entrance of restaurant.  There is a bench to the right of picture you can barley see.

    Parking 10/10 Restaurant 10/10 Bathroom 10/10 Service 10/10. Very attentive and patient. The man that served us did great. It was early when we went in so there was only a few of us. But he made sure we're okay throughout our dine in. Ambience 10/10. Was super relaxing and enjoyable Definitely returning. Higher portion of food. If you're ever in the area I must recommend that you dine in here and check the place out for yourself. Ops forgot to take picture of menu. Sorry

    The Hangover II

    I had the hang over 2 and it was SO good!!!! The stuffed hash browns are a game changer!!! The biscuits were fresh and so soft. The portions are also huge for 18.25. 10/10 stars I highly recommend. Also they are dog friendly!!! Definitely will be coming back!!! They staff was also so friendly and accommodating!

At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend). My son's chicken tenders were great as well and looked homemade and not like it came from a frozen bag. There is paid parking around the area.

Do make sure to make reservations before coming in, luckily a table opened up and the host was able to get us seated promptly. The seats we were given were near the bar and it was only the one bartender taking care of his bar and the tables which lead to not having the best service. Again we get it was the bartenders area but you would think since it's the weekend you would have two bartenders working that area. When it comes to the food, my wife's brisket Benedict was pretty solid nothing crazy but my meal was probably the worst one.... When I hear the words " anything scramble" i think of a bunch of ingredients mixed together as a scramble. This was more of just scrambled eggs with some fried avocados on top. These breakfast "potatoes" were also dissatisfying and flavorless. I've worked in the restaurant business and can tell you that I hated when people sent plates back so I'm not one to send my plates back and make complaints, but this one was very close to me breaking that personal rule. Personally I don't think I'll ever come back at least not for their breakfast hours.

We got our drinks fairly quickly, but it took 25 minutes for us to get our salad with no meat. That was a little disappointing given that it was just a salad and also, someone else ordered after us but received their food before we did. We ran out of time and ended up having to take our salads to go. My friend really liked her mocha latte, but my lavender latte did not really have the lavender flavor in it and the salads were just OK. I'm not sure if they were shortstaffed and things were rushed, but I can't say that I was impressed. It's a super cute spot, but the energy was different. The customer service was just OK. Not super friendly, but not rude either. It gave the energy of "tired". Our experience was pretty mediocre, but I do plan on checking it out again. We talk about first impressions being important but sometimes it takes a second visit to really get the true feel of a place so I will definitely try it again and make an overall decision at that time.

I ordered a Guinness and we moved to the back area as our group grew too large to have at the small front tables. They have breakfast and lunch available and had an impressive menu for what I thought was just a bar. We asked our server what she recommended and she said the waffle fries and French toast are great. While we passed on the French Toast (this time- I'm more of a savory breakfast person) we did get waffle fries ($7) and their Zebra Special ($15.50) that comes with two eggs, meat (ham, bacon or sausage), hash browns, and choice of toast. We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me.
