    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

    Stuffed Hash Browns, Buttermilk Pancakes and Bacon, Sausage or Ham
    Violet Perez C.

    First of all let me say those stuff hashbrowns are amazing!! I would probably share with someone since it is a larger dish and it doesn't reheat well. The pancakes were kinda bland despite being super fluffy. The batter just needed a dash of vanilla or almond extract and it would have been a knock out of the park. Their sausage was amazing had a delish crisp to it which I love! And service was also amazing as our server was definitely busy but very attentive. Can't wait 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!

    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!

    Rivers Edge Cafe: grilled cheese
    Crystal W.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    Stuffed hash browns were great!
    Lauren C.

    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.

As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door).

There is plenty of paid street parking nearby. The interior of the restaurant feels hipster and fresh. The host and servers were very friendly. They offered their insight on what menu items we should order. I will say our food took forever to come out. We were only a party of 7 so I guess I can see why but it easily felt like 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. Some dishes came out way after the others came out. I wasn't really feeling anything on the menu. I ended up getting a dish that I normally wouldn't try since it seemed lol my best option. The Po Boy was actually a pleasant surprise. It was crunchy and its flavor complimented the bread nicely. The ranch made the pickled onions pop and it was a decent sandwich size too. The fries were warm and crunchy. The prices are about average for a 2026 brunch spot. I'd say expect to walk out of here for about ~$35+ for a meal for two. I don't really have anything negative to say about my meal or experience here except for how long our meal took to arrive. And for that, I had to deduct a star. Bottom line/TLDR: great shrimp sandwiches!

Honestly, even with syrup, it was easily the plainest pancake I've ever had. The rest of the food was equally disappointing: Breakfast Burrito: Generous size, but mostly packed with cheese and very little meat. Grilled Cheese Benedict: Completely overcooked. It feels like one of those places that lost its quality control and started rushing things as they got busier. Definitely a disappointing experience and not worth the hour-long drive or the wait.
