I have gone to the River's Edge for years, mainly for Seahawks games. But in the summer, I like to eat on the deck. These days I am usually alone. The service is always friendly. I love sitting outside overlooking the Golf course. I ordered the chopped salad, which has green and walnuts and dried fruit. And it was suggested that I have it with grilled salmon. And it was absolutely delicious. They serve a Cadillac Margarita which my late husband always used to Love, garnished with orange, lime and lemon. Everything was perfect! read more

Mothers Day Brunch was exceptional in quality of food and excellence of service even though the restaurant was packed!! The salmon and rice, the crispy bacon, and the Blueberry Cheesecake were phenomenal! Loved watching a little boy pick out about 8 cookies and head back to his table! He was in cookie heaven! read more

This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem. It feels like a little secret only a few know about, which is odd because it is one of the better restaurants in town. They have a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. There has not been one item I have ordered here that wasn't delicious. Their servers are attentive, friendly, and professional. The restaurant is clean and there is easy parking. The food is delicious and presented well and the portion sizes match the prices on the menu, which are reasonable considering the price of everything has gone up. If it is nice you can sit outside, otherwise they have cozy seating for a few in a booth or big tables for large parties. Overall, this is a solid restaurant that just doesn't get the love and attention it deserves. PS - they have a lot of party/banquet/meeting space and you only have to purchase a certain amount of food to get the space for free. Great option for events. read more

Wonderful Restaurant looking over Tumwater Valley Golf course. Food is very good, service is exceptional! Friendly place to dine Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Thank you Rivers Edge!! read more

The service was ok. My biggest beef was breakfast food at 2 pm and a lot of the trays were empty.

They have good food but the reason you should go there is Thomas. So accommodating, polite, courteous. Everything you expect from a server and then more. If you don't golf, just go there for Thomas.. read more

Sat down and waited 10 minutes and not a single waiter greeted us. Restaurant wasn't crowded.

The breakfasts are the best meals they serve here. The only feedback is I wish they continued serving breakfast later in the day on weekends. They have a really great sports vibe, especially during Football Season. This is a great place to go watch a Seahawk Game. read more

I ordered the breakfast Bloody Mary and waffle both were a a 10/10. Our server was super friendly and staff overall very good.

We were pleasantly surprised to find such variety and quality at a restaurant associated with a golf course. Great service and the food was delicious. Would definitely eat there again if ever in the area. read more

This second time trying this business, the first time I was invited to join a group of regulars that have been coming for years for a Seahawks game when I first moved here. I understand that brings a pretty regular crowd so I wasn't critical. I enjoyed the crab cakes so much that I've thought of them since but I've not gotten back sooner as I have so much to explore in my new city! Finally a year later I came in for lunch. It's obviously a place for locals and regulars without the need to advertise. The crab cakes are just as good as I remember (a little smaller tho). The service is geared to the regulars... I didn't take it personally but to be honest, I live 1 mile away and could make this a regular stop. My server was attentive enough but with me being a server.... You should always treat your guest like they're your next regular. There's too many places to spend your money these days so treating everyone with the same value is important. Just an observation from the inside ladies. read more

Best Sunday Margaritas in town, the breakfasts are great! Service is wonderful! Had our 55 year reunion the with a taco bar... the tacos were off the hook! read more

Have been there 3 times. Each time food has been delicious, service was great. Waitress, came to our table frequently to check on us. Highly recommend River's Edge, for Date night or family gathering. read more

Best chicken fried steak in the Lacey, Tumwater, Olympia area. Absolutely delicious! Home fries are perfect! Be sure to grab a seat near the windows in their banquet area. View of the golf course, delicious breakfast; great way to start the day! read more

Great Service and wonderful cheeseburgers.. seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time they fully loaded with veggies, which I love! We will be attending there again for a family Christmas party. Thank you guys. read more

Had lunch here the other day, spicy fried pickles for an appetizer they were really good and a large serving as well. My friend got a Ruben and fries she loved this. I got a nice salad. We were envious of the people around us with the Monster Bloody Mary's. The service was a bit slow but actually that gave my friend and I time to catch up and also do some ppl watching. We both agreed we would be back for more. read more

We love coming here! Our picky kids really enjoy the food. Nothing fancy but really good. The atmosphere is very family-friendly and the golf course adds an amazing view. We get Travis every time we come and he is awesome!! read more

Never disappointed with Rivers Edge..be it breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner! The service is excellent, friendly and accommodating! The food is made to order and the chefs excellent. We frequently schedule group events and they are very accommodating, the prices are fair and the wait staff unobtrusive and attentive. read more

this place is MAGIC. every time i go, the staff treats me like family...and this started on visit two. their brunch is to DIE for. everything i've had is delish! i always go for the marinated steak and eggs. it comes with home fries and toast (choose the biscuit...you won't regret it), and the flavor is next level. the vibe is low-key classy...and being on a golf course has always made me wonder if i'd fit in. there are definitely golfers and people ready for tee time, but there are also hometown folx who are welcoming and friendly. i am always met with "of course" and "not a problem" when i ask for adjustments or additional things, and i've never seen anyone have anything less than a beautiful experience here. i LOVE this place, and have come for dates, bestie brunches, and mother/daughter breakfasts!! it's hard to find a place to meet all of those needs -- but river's edge comes through...every time!! read more

First timer, my partner and I came with our baby and were able to sit in the booths along the wall facing the bar. Seems like a friendly environment with lots of regulars :) We came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Food was delicious and great portions. Tried the chicken fried steak, steak and eggs, and crab cakes would definitely be back for more! Our server was prompt & awesome as well. read more

Have been here several time in the past year. However today we had breakfast with some family and had bloody Mary's and screwdrivers as well. My cousin ordered a double tall screwdriver and commented to us that it was a bit weak for a double. No big deal. My wife who has worked in the service industry for many years mentioned it to our server and her reply was " well I could put less in your next one how about that" We were all completely floored by her response and asked for boxes and left. I will NEVER patronize this establishment again EVER! Would give no stars if it were an option read more

Have to say this was my first bad experience here. Only been a few time but it was always fine. Finished up a golfing today and sat in the bar for a couple of friends to grab a drink. Never was approached by wait staff. I get it that they may have been short staffed due to the golf tournament but at least acknowledge the table instead of walking by several times. I simple "I'll be right with soon" would have been fine with me. We just got up and left. I recommend staffing up on days there are tournaments or at lest brief staff on acknowledging people who are waiting. I'll chock this hip to a bad day, we'll see. Tip your servers if you do get served read more

i got the chefs special and it was the halibut with rice. it was amazing!! also the purple rain - wow. our waiter was friendly and talkative. there is outdoor and indoor seating. read more

We have been to them Rivers Edge at the golf course at three times.. Their brunch was great. I have had their chicken piccata twice now , and its heavenly. The wait staff are very friendly, but not intrusive. I will most certainly be back, and highly recommend Rivers Edge. read more

Good food a ton of fries. Lots of flavor and generous portions. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We always enjoy our time here. Servers are attentive and quick to refill drinks. Everything we tried so far is delicious. read more

We had my son's graduation party here and all of the staff were so nice and did a great job to make us feel welcome. We had a wonderful time, the food was great and our cups were never empty. read more

This place us located at Tumwater Valley Golf Course and just opened back in May. They label themselves as a sports bar. They have six viewable flat screens TVs on the golf course side of the bar and three on the other side. They have a decent dining area too. They have three couches around a fireplace that has a flat screen on either side of the fireplace. Good if you want to be comfortable. There are no typical bar things like pool tables or dartboards. More of an upscale sports bar. They do have NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV, only problem is that they can't provide the sound of the games currently. (They're working on it) I would say prices are comparable to other restaurants. I was in recently and had their traditional hot wings and they were really spicy and were on a bed of lettuce with some celery and bleu cheese dressing. I had the edge burger with pepperjack cheese and bacon. It comes with regular fries or you can get sweet potato fries. The regular fries are good and crispy but not crunchy. I also had a pitcher of mac and jacks African Amber. They have more burgers on the lunch menu, which you can get for dinner if you ask. The staff has always been really friendly the few times I have been in there. They're always willing to accomodate. My dad has siliace disease so no wheat for him. They put his taco salad on a plate instead of the tortilla bowl. They also let my parents sample a sauce. I also had their BBQ ribs another time I was there and they're fantastic. Comes with slaw and sweet potato fries and they're special dipping sauce. You'll be full by the time you're done. They're only available fir dinner though. They have about 15 total flatscreen tvs all broadcasting in HD. Good place to go when it's nice out and a view of the golf course. UPDATE 3/12/10: I have been back many times since. They have prizes during the NFL season on Sundays. Great owners. They'll also have prizes and drawings for Sounders games (if they play). If I want to go somewhere to watch a game on TV and listen to it, I know I can go to Rivers Edge and have a good time. Their burgers are great and can substitute veggie patties for all their burgers. All their meat comes from Western Meat. Their Cobb Salad is great as is their fish and chips, beer battered with Mac and Jack's and great with a pint of Mac and Jack's. If there on a weekend they have a great waitress, look for the short redhead. Great place considering they haven't been open a year. Management is also accommodating if there is a game one that you want to watch. Just ask your server, bartender or the manager. read more

The main reason why I'm giving River's Edge four stars is due to their comedy nights called "Comedy at The Edge", which are held every Friday at 9 pm. The night I attended featured Dwight Slade and Riggs and my friends and I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire show. If I was in town more often, I definitely would check out "Comedy at The Edge" on a regular basis. As for their food, it's pretty much standard "American grill" food featuring cobb salads, sweet wrinkled potato fries (my fav here) and nachos. They're good yet they're nothing to blow you away. However' they are generous with their portions. If you're looking for something to do on a Friday night, give this place a shot. read more

Ok, but not great nor memorable. My wife and daughter enjoyed their breakfasts (some skillet thing). I had simple eggs, hashed browns and toast. The hashed browns had the after taste of the previous day's iron grill cleaner. The coffee was a bit weak for my taste. I will say that the service was good, the servers very friendly and efficient. Tried the place but no reason to go back, for breakfast, at least. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I tried Uber Eats tonight and lettuce wraps sounded good. The food came and it was beyond disgusting, rotten salad, flies, unwashed, missing items and the chicken had the worse taste I ever experienced. read more

I have tried to eat here twice. I say tried because after waiting for 20 mins for someone to acknowledge me at the bar rail I gave up. I looked at the bar tender and the cocktail waitress several times and they completely ignored me. read more

Salads are great. Wraps are good. Burgers are some of the worst in town. Service was good.

Was the most horrible breakfast I have ever had in my life I ordered the chicken fried steak and I couldn't eat it and then I ordered a bloody Mary because the guys behind us had ordered them and they looked really good but mine came with just a straw and tomato juice and the alcohol that came with it nothing fun I will never be back there again this place used to be good now it's like shit read more

This is a great breakfast spot. We stop by on our way home and I had the fajita breakfast wrap and my husband had the chicken fried steak and both were delicious. Service is great and al TVs had football! I added steak to my breakfast burrito and it really was the best I have had. read more

River's Edge is my very favorite restaurant in WA. It's on a golf course, has outdoor seating, the food is by far the best. Staff are super friendly. My family and I have been visiting for years and each time is a welcome environment served fast and with a smile. Feels like home. I take my staff here for work events (award ceremonies and such) and every time has been perfect. When I see bad reviews I'm A) confused B) think these people might be crazy, and C) kinda grateful because I'd love to keep this place all to myself! River's Edge is 10 stars. ;) If you haven't been, you're missing out. That is all. X 100. read more

I've had occasion to visit River's Edge twice in the last couple of weeks and have come away greatly satisfied both times! Both times that I visited I sat at the bar to eat and visit with the bartender and enjoy a Stella Draft. The first time I was in I had the beef tacos, which are rightly called steak tacos. Juicy tenders bits of beefly heavenlyness, with a nice pico de gallo in a warm soft taco with a very tasty cilantro (I assume) sauce. Two of these gems with some sweet potato fries set me for the rest of the day, with the Stella it was a very nice repast. Today I returned for a second visit and had the Chef's Daily Sandwich special which came with a cup of soup. The sandwich was a grilled turkey bacon and cheese sandwich on sourdough which was crunchy and rich with thick slices bacon and enough turkey to stand up against the other ingredients. The soup was a tasty Thai peanut chicken with enough curry to bring the heat, quite a bit of chicken and peanuts covering a portion of the cup adding flavor and crunch. A great rich, tasty, warm, comfort food lunch for a damp spring day. read more

I ordered the French dip. It was slim on the meat, but the flavor was very good. I opted for a side salad instead of fries and it was very fresh. New in the area, but I'd try a new place next time. The service was fast and good. read more

Hubby and I stopped in because we heard about this ridiculous Bloody Mary. So we ordered two Mother Mary's. Umm....we had NO idea how big they were. Holy crap. One of these could easily be split between two or three people. Comes in a huge mason jar with cheeseburger sliders, onion ring, fried green beans, etc and all the normal Mary stuff! It's a meal, not a drink read more

Love this place. We have been coming here for several years with a group of usually about 6 people at least once a month. The staff are all amazing and know us when we walk in. Everything I have had so far for food is really good. The hog wild sandwich is so good. I always have to get the Cajun tots too. They come with like a Cajun ranch dipping sauce. Amazing! The Pulled pork quesadilla is also really good. In the summer time they have a nice outdoor seating area. Some uncovered some not. You can watch people on the practice green and enjoy your meal. We normally sit in the restaurant area but occasionally will sit in the bar. They have several TVs with different sports on each one. Highly recommend coming to this place. read more
