    I enjoyed my time as at casual dining establishment. Service was excellent, Megan & her associate provided great service. Friendly, clean and most of all the food was delicious. I ordered wings & chili and both with hot and delicious. I took a pizza home and ate every bite; it was tasty. Will continue to visit this establishment as long as I'm in town.

    Steak tips with peppers and onions, loaded mash and onion rings

    Uptown Tavern sits in downtown Eden and is one of the first locations opened up during the revitalization of the downtown area. Walking in, Uptown Tavern has a large front space with large windows facing outwards towards the street. Inside, you will find plenty of seating at standard tables, high-tops and bar space. The high-tops against the front wall sit directly next to the large windows, which are usually opened fully during better weather, allowing for a great open-air view of downtown. Plenty of televisions surround the dining area and bar, and it would make a great spot for watching the game. Uptown Tavern has a good looking menu, plenty of starters to choose from. Steaks, salads, wraps, and even chili. Plus their pizza menu is now available! I decided to go with the dinner steak tips, with loaded mashed potatoes and onion rings as my sides. Our server was attentive and super nice, and the food came out quickly! The steak tips were perfect, cooked well and very flavorful. It's a good sized portion along with grilled peppers and onions. The onions rings were tasty, they had a perfect crunch and I loved the batter they used. The loaded mashed potatoes were good, piled high with cheese and bacon, but I found them slightly under seasoned. The portion sizes are good, but I do think they're a bit pricey for the entrees. Overall, Uptown Tavern is a good spot and it's good to see it thriving along with downtown Eden. I'll definitely be paying another visit to try more off of their menu, especially the pizzas.

    The atmosphere is nice, the servers are nice, but the food was a horror show. Everything tasted like it was microwaved.

    This place is huge! If you tell someone you are meeting them there, you better specify specifically…read morewhere, because there's an outdoor area, a downstairs indoor that is more like a pool hall, and multiple upstairs areas. Anyhow, I found myself here after a hot day of golf outside of town, and this was the perfect place to please everyone, get a cold drink, and something tasty to eat. Beverage wise, I was too dehydrated to jump into beer, so I just pounded a bunch of water while there. Food wise however, we had lots of tasty things. The hot chips app that comes drizzled with bbq sauce and ranch is better than it sounds, though I preferred the pickle chips for sure. To me, the star here were the wings. They were nice and large, plump with plenty of meat. I had a korean sauce and a hot honey sauce and thoroughly enjoyed all 10. Maybe even had a leftover drummy or two from some of my companions. Would come back here for more casual eats and drinks again!

    Walked in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated right away. The vibe was great and the decor was…read morespot on. The hostess and our waiter were very friendly and helpful. The draft list was only accessible by scanning the QR code. Not normally an issue for me but it was a little annoying since my cell service wasn't great in this area. I finally got it to pull up and asked for the Angry Troll PB Porter (I forget the name), the waiter asked if I wanted a sample first and I was so happy he did because it was not very peanut buttery to me. I decided to try a can of Docs: Pumpkin cider which ended up being a MUCH better choice for me. It was delicious. We started with some cheese curds as an appetizer. The kids split a kids cheese pizza (it comes with fries) and my bestie and I split a Philly Cheesesteak pizza. The cheese curds were amazing! I didn't try the kids pizza although the fries seemed a little over seasoned, especially since they were served to kids. My Philly pizza was not great though. The primary taste was banana peppers. Not meat, not cheese...the vinegar-y, sour taste of banana peppers. I was not a fan. Then the bill comes....I guess I should have asked for the price of the cider (NONE of the beer has a price listed.) My CAN of Doc's cider was $9.50. Not sure if that's normal in this area but in Durham, that can would have only been $6 (MAYBE $7.) TLDR; service - good, drinks - expensive, food - hit or miss.

    I had work travel this week to Pittsylvania County, VA. This is my 1st Danville, VA or even…read morePittsylvania County Yelp review. I'm writing this while back in Danville for my work travel specifically today Thursday, September 10. My girlfriend & I made more of a vacation out of this from Sunday, 9/6 to Sunday, 9/13. We spent one night at an old friend of mine in Raleigh, NC and got to her parent's Smith Mountain Lake house in Franklin County on Monday night. We drove through Danville on Monday evening. I wanted BBQ or southern, but it was Labor Day & some places were closed on Monday anyway. We drove by Ka Cafe, and they were closed. We didn't want to waste much time looking for another restaurant or drive that far as we were hungry. We saw River District had good reviews and just went with that. It's a huge brick building looked like an old industrial building in the past. I parallel parked behind someone else, but there were also plenty of spots in their parking lot. We were confused as we saw 2 entrances, but we followed another customer in. We asked the friendly host about the 2 entrances, and he said I'll show you. The left entrance we went in was by the standard bar area with a mix of high top tables, booths, & the bar itself. The right side had another bar with bar seating, bowling alley, & games. We chose the standard one as we figured the other side seemed like it could get hectic. I also asked him if they had any specialties like southern foods, and he said it's more of standard burgers, sandwiches, & wings. Although I had my heart set on southern food or BBQ, I settled as we were hungry and didn't want to waste more time. Our server was very nice and efficient. I saw that their specialties were starred on their menu. I asked her recommendations too. Per the stars, her recommendation, & my gut I went with the hot honey chicken sandwich fried and upgraded to sweet potato fries for $2 more. My girlfriend was craving a standard burger & got the standard fries. Wow, excellent hot honey chicken & sweet potato fries. The bun was nicely buttered for extra flavoring. I tried a bite of my g/f fries & she tried my sweet potato. We liked on own more. Likewise, a bite of her burger, which I could tell was good quality, but I liked my hot honey chicken more. And she thought mine was good but liked her burger more. She came around to check on us a few times, getting water refills. My girlfriend & I had a discussion of another restaurant we were just at 2 days earlier relatively close to home in Maryland. She said I bet she asks if we want dessert or need anything else before slapping the bill down, which the MD restaurant did. Server came around to ask if we needed anything else, which we said no. Then, she came back with the bill and went above & beyond asking if we wanted to go cups of water. Perhaps, we could tell we were travelers as we didn't have a southern accent and wanted to provide southern hospitality, which we don't really get back home in MD. Restaurant & restroom was also clean. Overall, this was an excellent choice as both host & server was friendly and great food!

    Came in on a Tuesday night with my best friend for the $5 burger deal, which is a solid start. Just…read moreknow you are getting their standard burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and fries. Simple and classic. We both made a few tweaks. She skipped the onions, added ketchup and mustard, and got a side salad. I kept mine simple with no ketchup or mustard. Food came out fast. Appetizer and burgers hit the table in just over five minutes, which was impressive. The burgers were good. Not over the top, but juicy and worth the price. The only miss was the bun. It was cold and could have used a quick toast or at least some heat. The house salad was fresh with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cheese, and croutons. I tried to swap my fries for sweet potato fries and ended up getting both, so no complaints there. Just know the sweet potato fries count as extra. Fries came out hot and stayed hot. The sweet potato fries had a nice balance, not soggy, not too hard. The corn fritters were the standout. Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet inside. Service from Amber or Shannon was great. Attentive, friendly, and helpful. The only slowdown came at the end. It took longer to get the check than it did to receive the food. The space is in a reclaimed industrial building with exposed brick and high ceilings. Very large and open with plenty of room for groups and events. There is a main dining area, a busy bar, and a separate section with bowling lanes. The crowd was mixed. Families, couples, groups, people at the bar, even a few on laptops. Plenty of TVs and music, but it stays at a manageable level. Accessibility is decent with a lift available. Parking is nearby street or lot parking. Overall, a fun, casual place with strong value, especially on Tuesday nights. Must order: Corn fritters Heads up: Buns may come out cold and sweet potato fries are an extra
