Amazing!!! Wanted to try it moore than once to get a good perspective, given Powell doesn't get new full-service restaurants very often. Stopped in three or four times since they opened, and it has been consistently great. The restaurant is very welcoming and has an open concept. Hostesses greet you at the door and sincerely welcome you. Would recommend making reservations as we have seen 30 minute waits for walk-ins during prime time. Seating options include Outdoor covered patio, bar stools/high tops, and general restaurant booths, tables and high-tops. They have a full-service bar in the center of the restaurant with bar spots for 12 or so people. Havent seated at the bar directly but looks inviting - with a few TVs visible. The environment is energetic local place - lots of people engaging with each other and the staff. The Chefs are actively checking on their patrons. Definitely not your local library - given the happy fun vibe you get from the start. If you want a quiet area, suggest a front or rear booth or even the covered patio. It is very casual and could a great or family fun, friends, work, or just a solo quick bite. Based on recommendations from others, we have made reservations each time and our table was ready on time. Our experience has been great! Friendly Hostesses and Servers! We have had a couple great servers - including Jacob and Noelle. Both were fun, engaging and helpful in selecting best options. Feels like this staff has been together for a while given they work and have fun like they are long life friends. Our most recent visit we pulled a high top in the bar area for 6. We've tried a couple of their house specialty drinks: Old Fashion (great mix) and the Cucumber Gimlet (so refreshing). We have tried a few of their bourbon pours, beers and wine options too. Plenty to choose from and easy to choose. As for appetizers, I ordered and would highly recommend the Tuna Crudo and Burnt Ends Poutine. Tuna and pickled cucumber provides a refreshing light start and Burnt Ends brings it home with flavor/fries/fire flavor. I would order the Tuna as a lunch plate and the Burnt Ends would be great for kids to share too. We shared the Apple Avocado Salad and it was delicious for an intro. Not overwhelming but Creamy Avocado dressing was super tasty. Could also do this with Salmon as a lunch/dinner. For Dinner we have tried Reuben, French Onion Burger, American Burger, Meatball Sub, and Grilled New York Strip (all five are amazing and would do again) - However my two favoeriwews are the Southern Fried Chicken and Three Cheese Tortellini. Chicken was incredible meal - with a boneless juicy piece of chicken, you also get a fresh & little crunchy green beans, their spin on mash potatoes and a little cornbread. SO SO DELICIOUS! Three Cheese Tortellini (I added Salmon-see picture), was and still is my favorite. Thanks Noelle for recommending it. But PLEASE PLEASE don't forget to try the Brown Butter BlackBerry Tart or as we kept calling it the Brown Betty Apple Blackberry pie. HA! It is so good. I tried all three on the menus but loved this one. We love this place and are excited to have it around. The menu gives you great options where you don't have to get the same thing twice for a months. Give it a try if you are around the Zoo or Powell area or just driving through. Welcome to the Powell area Two Rivers!!! read more

Great place!!! Make a reservation and enjoy. Ask for Jasmin behind the bar. So friendly and so professional. Then get a table in Emily's section. Fun, personable, knowledgeable and didn't mind four old people bothering her. The fried chicken dinner is amazing. Crispy, plus mashed potatoes, green beans and a small piece of cornbread. The red blend Palisades wine was really good. Now I need to find a bottle. The margarita must have been tasty since my wife had two. Place was a little loud but it was a fun loud. People laughing and having a good time. Again, thanks Emily and Jasmine!!! read more

The interior is crisp and refined with a touch of rustic flair. The goat cheese was an excellent starter with crisp fresh arugula a honey drizzle and flecks of diced red pepper. The French onion burger was served with a mountain of melt cheese on top. The staff was friendly and engaging. The Reuben had all the necessary elements and was served with dry salty deeply browned chips that were not comparable to the golden French fries of the burger. read more

Cute little spot! The food is good. The service is good. I like that it's a full restaurant with drink options. I would recommend up-ing the ambiance just a tad to give it more of a restaurant feel and not like a chipotle or similar feel. I like that it's open, but ... maybe it's the lighting... or ... I"m not really sure what it is but it just feels a little too much like a chipotle/starbucks/bright diner-y feel almost. Prices are good! Location is decent also, it's kind of hidden though so you'd need to know it was there. I got the avocado salad with grilled chicken, extra dressing on the side and extra goat cheese and super happy I did! It's actually making me hungry just typing about it. :P Would visit here again! read more

Everything was OK. Service was great, food was very good. No complaints and will eat here again.

My husband and I were looking for someplace new to try and saw this listed on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. It's kind of tucked away in the Big Bear plaza and we had never seen it. I'm not sure what we expected, but our expectations were exceeded! I got the salmon, he got the pot roast. Both were excellent. We will definitely be going back. read more

Chef owned and it's obvious. The food is amazing. The photos are from their last restaurant week specials. read more

Dinner with three girlfriends last night. We had a reservation made online in which I specified we'd need separate checks. I ordered hot tea when I arrived (I worked outside all day in 21° temps!) and was given a huge pot! Our server was cordial and prompt. She did leave us a bit too long before taking our order, however we were very undecided when she tried to take our order twice before so that's not really on her. Menu choices are great. I had a seared salmon over quinoa. Cooked perfectly. Girlfriends all enjoyed their choices. And dessert was yummy flourless chocolate cake. Highly recommend that! Separate checks were presented without having to ask (as per reservation, which means they read the specific request). Restaurant was very warm and welcoming. Not too loud even when busy. Perhaps lighting could be dimmed but I suppose others would complain if it's too dark. The place emptied out at 8pm. We'd return for sure! read more

Food was good, customer service was decent, menu was a little odd don't know if I would return

Outstanding! We had a wonderful lunch at Two Rivers today!! Grilled flat iron steak frites, Spinach & ricotta tortellini, Seared Aukra salmon - all excellent! Clean, friendly atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch! read more

My dad and I came here just for a late lunch and were very happy with the food, service, and ambiance. The restaurant is beautiful, management is really friendly, and the food is great! My dad said the cocktails were actually good and made correctly, as opposed to some of the newer restaurants in the area. Will be back! read more

Great food and service. Good with my kids but also great for a date night. Brunch selection is good too.

First time visiting and had dinner with my wife, son and in-laws. Everything was very good. A few of us had the southern fried chicken, one salmon dinner and one carnitas bowl. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Drinks were good and the service was too. Restaurant was busy but not so loud that it was hard to have a conversation at the table. Looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu. read more

We enjoyed our first visit to Two Rivers. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. I had the fried chicken which was served with mashed potatoes, green beans and a piece of corn bread. I was mildly disappointed in the cornbread. It didn't have a lot of flavor but the rest of the meal was delicious. My husband had the schnitzel and really enjoyed his meal. The desserts sounded tasty but we didn't have room. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the last of the warm weather. We are looking forward to our next visit read more

Love this place !!! Been many times and great experience each time . The reuben sandwich is to die for ! The corn beef is so tender it melts in your mouth , the artichoke dip is delish , the onion burger is sooo good, the goat cheese appetizer is sinful , the tomato basil soup is very flavorful! The service is always on point and the bartenders are so attentive Our favorite casual spot in Powell read more

Comfortable seating, knowledgeable server- had a nice time with friends. Everyone liked their meal, wanted the cream of mushroom but they ran out. That's ok, this isn't a restaurant that has endless supplies, it makes batches and when they are out they don't just get more from the freezer! You can tell foodies run the menu, good variety and delicious. read more

Absolutely devine, food immaculate, drinks to perfection, the poutine is amazing they had to ask me to stop licking the plate clean, definitely will be back. read more

I am sitting in Two Rivers, an undiscovered gem of a restaurant. They have an eclectic menu, appealing to many tastes, but even in the basics, they do an excellent job. The facility is airy, clean and has a nice minimalistic aesthetic. The staff is hard working and giving it their all. They have a well stocked bar. This is one of the best burgers in the Dublin area. Give it a try. read more

Great place to meet friends for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Friendly servers. The Poutine is the star. The gravy was incredible. A little kick and totally craveable. My husband had the chicken and waffles. The Belgian waffle was delicious, but the fried chicken was burned and overcooked to the extent it was shocking it left the kitchen. The rest of our food (Reuben, Turkey Croissant and burrito bowl) were very good and the house made chips were crispy and fresh. read more

Delicious plates of food and great service. The place is great for families, friends or just a nice date night. Nice outdoor seating! read more

I really want this place to succeed. Nice family business. Positives- good service, apps we all good expect for the brisket fries(way to salty/ seasoned. Mains were good- Ruben, tuna bowl etc. Negatives- salads were warm( noticed they sat out to side while other mains sat under the warmer). Need to store the salads somewhere else while waiting. Also very loud- maybe play some music!!! Overall I would recommend and feel they will work out the small issues. Good luck. read more

Cozy restaurant with delicious, fresh food. It's tucked at the end of a strip mall and has bright and lively decor. Superior customer service and everyone is so welcoming and kind! I was dining with my elderly mother who had trouble walking, and the host actually escorted her to our table personally. Two Rivers is on our 'definitely go back' list! read more

I believe this restaurant is fairly new, a friend picked it for lunch and was packed! Sign of good food. I ordered the Pork Carnitas bowl which was a wonderfully tasty healthy meal. Despite being busy, service was outstanding. So today another friend wanted to meet for lunch and right away I thought of Two Rivers. Again, packed but we were seated right away. I so wanted that bowl again but the Seared Aukra Salmon also caught my eye. Went with it and like my bowl, also tasted fresh and healthy. My friends all enjoyed their meals. Everyone who works at Two Rivers is very friendly and accommodating. They certainly go out of their way to make sure customers are pleased with their meal. The restaurant is very open, bright and casual. There is also a patio I would love to sit at once it cools off a bit - highly recommend read more

New place, we saw it and menu looked interesting. I am a Long time Foodie: nice setup, happy hour price is good. Sharing feedback: tried the burnt ends and fry's and this was a miss.. couldn't tell that was brisket.. too dry, too little.. tuna croudo, nice. A dipping sauce would have been great. Staff great, thanks read more

Always yummy food, gracious service and pleasant personnel. Nice open atmosphere. They aim to please!

Service was excellent! Everyone loved their burgers or chicken sandwiches I ordered a veggie bowl with Ahi and was very disappointed but they replaced it with a Reuben that was awesome. The Peach Crisp was the perfect ending to a great experience! read more

First visit to Two Rivers and it will not be our last! Delicious food and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

We dropped in mid afternoon on Sunday and had the place entirely to ourselves. Connot was friendly and took cars of us well. Food was quite good as well. Very glad we dropped in. read more

Went for brunch to try it out because of the high rating. It was ok. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't amazed by it either. To me it was just a solid 3. Largely forgettable experience and ok food. read more

I have eaten at the restaurant and ordered it on DoorDash and the food is consistently delicious. I have to admit that my guilty pleasure are the chicken fingers on the kids' menu. They are the best chicken fingers I've had in a long time! I also love the fresh green beans and either fries or mashed potatoes that I get with it. The fingers, two sides, and a drink are a great deal! I also went for a girls' night dinner and others got the meatball sub, burger, and strawberry salad and everyone loved their meals... and mixed drinks! Definitely a new local favorite. read more

I had an alright experience the first time with this new restaurant!!!! The staff stared at me like I should not have been there lol. Can a 28 year old not frequent a new restaurant?! I ordered the cucumber gimlet..I loved it. I always love cucumber martinis, they are extremely refreshing. I had the seared tuna bowl with 0 flavor. I think the potential is there, but they didn't add any flavor or sauces to it. It was quite boring..I would not order again. I will come back here but I will definitely order something else. The waiter was super slow and completely out of it. The water was not refilled once or even checked on. I was trying to order another drink but I had finished my dinner at that point and ready to leave so I didn't order anything else. It was clean. Very boring inside though. Not much decoration at all. I was confused on the vibes they are going for. It is a smaller place for more a restaurant style. I would be interested to know how this restaurant succeeds. The location isn't the most amazing..so you definitely have to know about it to go check it out. You aren't really driving by here much and you do not see it from the road. I will bring my parents back here to see their thoughts. I would come here for a professional happy hour. Not a casual place really. read more

Great drink prices! Exceptional prices for happy hour. The drinks were good. The food was even better. Just loved this place and it will be a regular on our dinner rotation!! Service, food and drinks were all great! read more
