You have to go to the bar to order drinks and food. Servings very small portions. Ginger pork was like chewing rocks, Cuban corn takes frozen and flavorless even in peak season. Best dish by far Mac and cheese and bean bruschetta. For the amount you pay definitely not worth it.

The large wooden bar shows its age in the best way, giving off that classic, old-school feel. There are about 20 tables and roughly 10 or 15 bar stools in the main seating area. They do take reservations, and it's smart to make one if you want to guarantee a spot. We were greeted right away and served complimentary water and fresh sourdough bread with sea salt and olive oil. The sourdough was incredible honestly some of the best I've had. My wife ordered the chicken parm, which came in a large portion with fresh, house-made pasta. The sauce was excellent, truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken cutlet was perfectly pounded, breaded, and crispy on the outside. I went with one of their standard pizzas a white pie with fresh garlic, honey, and other toppings that all worked beautifully together. Their sourdough pizza dough has been in the family for years from what we were told. The oven appears to be a brick oven (not sure if it's firewood or propane), but it has to be running at 1,000 degrees or more given the incredible crust. They also have a full bar with plenty of beer options. Parking is on a dirt lot across the street, with a small side lot as well. Service was excellent across the board. This is the type of spot that absolutely belongs on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food.

My love affair with this place is over. We planned a birthday dinner with our family who drove over…read more5 hours to see us, and arrived at 6p to a chaotic greeting and reservation confusion. The start and basics were delicious as always, but then our dish came out with pasta that was so underdone, it couldn't be saved; if they put it back on the heat, the seafood would surely be overcooked. Then the server made us feel like we were in the wrong after having to send it back twice and finally agreeing to take the dish off the bill. No offer to bring us a different pasta dish or pizza. No offer of dessert for the table. We were so disappointed, and it started a birthday weekend off on the wrong foot.

I added this food establishment to my collection a while back, and it did the job. I stopped here…read moreduring my road trip and immediately knew this was the place to go. You'll see a small room with a cash register when you enter. To the left is a big room with tables, where you can sit yourself. The interior is charming. Tasha, my waitress (or owner), was straightforward and attentive. She was very welcoming, had a great personality, and chatted about life, including where you were from and traveling to. Not to mention, she said you're always welcome back. It's time for other businesses to follow this example. An automatic 5 stars for that!! The menu offers a lot, including quite a variety of specials. I'm willing to try anything. Make the stop along your (long) journey, and I will also.

Overall, Riverside Cafe & Lodge is a decent stop if you're nearby and want to enjoy the scenery. With more consistency in food quality and faster service, it could be much better.

Satisfaction from the manager or the waitress. And to be honest, the waitress was quite rude.
