I think a Steakhouse should be known for at least one good steak. My God the Pork Chops are thicker and bigger than their 14oz Ribeye. When I think Ribeye you think a thick cut of good meat not a thin nearly smashed skirt steak looking piece of meat that cost $44 Now the Pork Chops were on point however, I really wanted a good steak. Their steak bites are thicker and better than the steak I ordered. Recommendation add thick steak options or change your name to River Pork Chops because they are money!! read more

The food was good and the drinks were excellent, but service was slow, we waited quite a while to place our order and to get our food. The real issue was the bill: drink prices were marked up $2 each from what was listed, and there were charges tacked on to our meals. It's not about the money, but it felt sneaky. Leaving 2 stars because the food was solid and the service was decent, but definitely be mindful of the extra pricing. read more

Came here for the first time and started off with some artichoke dip, table side bread and a potato soup. The potato soup was easily the best appetizer. It was very creamy and there's bits and pieces of soft potato within the soup. The artichoke dip was just okay - wished the table side bread and the bread that came with it was hot and fresh (was a bit stale). For the entree I got a prime rib medium well and I will say it's probably the best thick cut piece of prime rib I've gotten in a while. So much meat on it and well worth it! It came with a sauce and I asked for horse radish as well. The vegetables on the side were nothing special but the rice was deliciously seasoned. The waitress recommended a strawberry martini and while you may think it might be very alcoholic tasting, it actually just tasted like strawberry lemonade! Lastly, we got crème brûlée and it was very creamy and not too sweet. We were also celebrating a birthday so they brought out a slice of carrot cake for the birthday guest. This carrot cake was DELICIOUS. I wish it was on the menu in general! Our waitress took great care of us and got us everything we needed. Our food came out within ten minutes. The dining setting is very fancy and very clean so we definitely enjoyed the ambiance. Would definitely come again on a special occasion. read more

The River Steakhouse - 40oz Tomahawk Rib Steak, Grilled Asparagus and Baked Potato. - Steakhouses Near Me - Porterville, California

Great service good food and drinks. Had a nice prime rib dinner which is hard to find these days and the filet mignon was also delicious!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Walking in 2 host girls asked if we had a reservation and we said no. Couldn't get the girls name that actually tried and looked around the room for tables and got us a table. The other girl kept saying "theres no space" "no reservations available" she kept saying it over and over to the other girl that helped us. We told her THANK YOU for getting us in. & both girls said thank you. We told the one that kept saying "no space/reservation" NO NOT YOU! (OHH & ALL TABLES WERE EMPTY) We sat down, the same girl that helped us offered us drinks and told us what they have! This girl that helped get us in and offered drinks is the BEST!!! If you see this you are AWESOME!! Wanted to leave you a TIP, but was afraid that would go with the SERVER, which sadly was horrible. She leff and told the server about our drinks. Server came and asked us what to drink. We all asked for Strawberry Lemonade. She said theres is NO STRAWBERRY LEMONADE. We said ok that's fine, so we got something else. A family sits down behind us, but was attended by a different server. Server offered drinks and 1 of customers asked for Strawberry Lemonade and server said OK. I was like "what I though they didn't have any?" Waited to see if that server brings the drink and SHE DID. So when the server from our table comes back we said "why did you tell us there is NO STRAWBERRY LEMONADE" when the customer behind us got the drink. Her STUPID EXCUSE; we went to the store and bought more. LOL BULLSHIT; there is only 1 entrance, and no one came in with the drink! Pasta wasn't good: Needed Salt. Chicken was good. My families plates were to salty. Manager/Owner check your cameras get a NEW SERVER+HOST! We were sitting by the window @7-8ish on 01/07/23. Giving you a time & date so you can check yourself. read more

There was a three-hour wait but expected as those were the new location. When we got in it took 20 minutes for drinks and another 10 for one appetizer, the bread and honey covered butter was delicious. My husband ordered the 18oz rib eye steak, he asked it to be cooked medium, he got medium well, but the cut was horrible for the 40-plus dollars we paid. I ordered the chicken entree that came with broccolini and potatoes, my broccolini hard and stale. My chicken was way overcooked and hard with hardly any flavor. The brussel sprouts we ordered came with thick bacon pieces and herbs, this item was good. The house salads we ordered were good as well, served in a cold bowl. We never got a refill for our drinks. We paid well over 100 dollars and will never be back! We should have spent 20 bucks for a hot dog! The area was quiet with the television playing in the background. The bar seemed nice. read more

Food is good stick to the steak bites better than actual steak and much cheaper. Service is excellent

We always have wonderful experiences at the River. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and attentive. We love the modern atmosphere with the open kitchen. Long drive but worth the trip. Highly recommended read more

The service was good our server was great, the food was TERRIBLE!!!! Wife's chicken Alfredo was laughably bad like we never imagined it would possible to taste so bland and the noodles were extremely undercooked. My prime rib was flavorless and a little dry, even the au jus was bland, we thought we had Covid Or something based on the lack of taste. For $90 this place was very disappointing. Oh and they don't have alcohol because it's a dry reservation which in itself is a travesty read more

Food was not worth the price , but the service was top notch and the atmosphere was nice .

Our waitress forgot about our drink we had to remind her 15 mins later. She brought us 2 rum cokes that most of ice was melted and water downed. Ordered to cowboy rib eyes $60 each. Brought us out the wrong steaks. 40 mins later got our second steaks. Ordered them med rare. After 2 bites I got her attention and said we ordered med rare I showed her the well done dry steaks. Then I talked to the supervisor told her we had watered down drinks that the waitress brought us witch blew me away she wasn't smart enough to get us some fresh ones and that we had been there over a hr and our second round steaks were way over cooked and she asked me what I like done I suggested how about gift cards for another visit she said ok then came back and told us next time we come in just ask for her and she will take care of us with a discount. This pissed me off I told her was it normal to give a discount to people who got a shitty dinner and waited over a hr for there meal. I'm just dumb founded why they just didn't take the steaks off the bill like it was really going to hurt them. Wtf. Like I'm going back to say hey remember me can I get a discount wtf. They suck Fire her ass and my waitress there worthless never even came back to ask us if we needed anything or refills wtf read more

We came in on a Friday night around 5:30 there was only 1 table seated. Don't let that fool you. The service was wonderful(Felicia). She was amazing at helping and understanding. I ordered the prime rib(14oz) and it was largest and thickest 14oz. The mashed potatoes were so darn good. They had two choices on vegetables and I clearly got the better of the two. Brussel sprouts and tomatoes. The one reason I am not giving this a 5 star was the French onion soup. It was beyond gross. The bread that was layered on it was soggy and the I couldn't help but feel the onions were so burnt that the flavor seeped. But there are other choices than that. So my advice choose wisely. This is an upscale price range but casual attire. The cost of 4 people was 120.00 read more

The River Steakhouse - Prime Rib 14oz with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Don't let that fat fool you. Plenty of meat. Two days worth actually. - Steakhouses Near Me - Porterville, California

Best steakhouse in the Porterville-area. They serve up some good bread with a whipped butter/herb mixture as an appetizer before your meal arrives. They always have specials that are not on the menu. Atmosphere is ambient. First course after appetizers (if you order any) is usually soup or salad, depending on your order. They offer freshly ground pepper, which is always nice. When the main course arrives you may already be full. Steaks are cooked the way you order and the sides are delicious. Staff is pleasant and great at handling requests. Although there is no children's menu, you can order whatever the food court whips up... Hamburgers, fries, pizza, chicken strips, etc. Lastly, don't forget to order dessert! read more

Not that good. Room was very empty causing immediate concern over quality. Just after ordering we were advised appetizer choice was out of stock and had been changed from the item listed on the menu but was still not available. waitress then came back to advise wedge salad was out of stock. How? on a Friday night at 8 p.m. when you've only been open since 5 p.m. ribeye steak was bland and flavorless and was not worth the price. menu lists rib eye as bone-in but it was not and it also indicates rib eye comes with mushroom relish, it did not. waitress advised I must have misread the menu. baked potato is light and fluffy and rolls and butter were very good. read more

I'm sad to say after all the good reviews I've read and heard I'm sad to give this restaurant one star for the restaurant being nearly empty the wait was close to an hour to get our food and when we did receive our appetizers and food it was barely warm I got the New York steak asked medium got well done when the order was fixed I still waited an extra 30 minutes we sat by the cooking area it was a little uncomfortable hearing the cooks complain about each other The only good part of our visit was our waitress Mia great customer service from her read more

When arrived to dinner no one address you or welcomes you, restaurant has a old dirty smell to it. Order steak wrapped Asparagus as appetizers and they were all out, how can you be all out at when you just open for the night? When our order came out green bean we're soggy. Steak was good as well as the lobster, down side was seeing the staff eating in the food prep area where our food was coming from. Stuffing their faces with lobster and not washing their hands when come back to our table. Last time I will eat here. Save your money and go to a real steak house for these ridiculous prices. read more

Absolutely pleased in every aspect. I travel all over the country and have the benefit of eating at many steakhouses. The River steakhouse had excellent service and food. The rolls were warm and fluffy with a hint of sweetness. The steaks were hand cut and had an amazing amount of flavor. I ordered blue cheese dressing and had the option of extra cheese curds and of course they were spot on. All in all, I was very impressed and had a great experience overall. I will definitely eat here again. read more

My husband and I often visit the Eagle Mountain Casino, and finally decided to try the River Steakhouse. We are willing to pay upscale prices if the food is good, and we were very pleased with the entire experience of dining here. I was so happy that we were not disappointed! The dining room is decorated in warm tones with an intimate size, so reservations are recommended on holidays and event nights. They were busy when we were there, and yet, the service was friendly and prompt. Our waitress checked back with us off and on throughout the evening and was helpful to answer questions. For appetizers, we ordered shrimp cocktail which was a plate of huge beautiful pawns with a good sauce. We also ordered the baked potatoes skins which were filling and could have been a meal on their own. My husband ordered the special of the day: For $30, a 16 oz. rib eye steak, baked potato, broccoli, green salad, and dinner roll. In return he received back $20 in casino play. His steak was really good, cooked medium rare as requested, and the rolls were warm and soft with sweet butter. I ordered the barbecued salmon, rice pilaf, green beans, salad, and dinner roll. I loved all of it. The salmon was wonderful, moist, flavorful, with a tasty bbq sauce drizzled on top. I took half of my meal home in a to-go box. We also took desserts to go: cheesecake with strawberries and raspberry cake. Wow. I cannot wait to eat here again. It is now one of my favorite special occasion restaurants. Also, they have really nice, clean restrooms available which casino restaurants do not always have. Alcoholic beverages are not served at Eagle Mountain and the property does not charge sales tax. read more

Very good !! Always make reservation days in advance when concert or event is going on !!

New place. WONDERFUL. This is the bestfood that I have had in years. My steak was requested well done.Always a challenge for the chef. It was perfect. It was cooked evenly all the way through and yet still tender. The beef is from cattle raised on the reservation, grass fed quality. The house salad dressing is a great blend of oil and lemon. Sounds like Pledge, but tastes amazing. Little loaves of bread were served warm and crusty on the outside, soft on the inside. Honey butter just the right amount of sweet. Thevegetables were lightly seasoned and cooked al dente. The rice was excellent. Truffle fries appetizer was amazing. Well put together classy place. Located away from the noise and bustle of the gaming. Priced right. Two of us had dinner with appetizer and soft drink fo under $50.00. read more
