Montville, NJ - a packed restaurant full of locals at dinner hour is always a promising sign, and…read morewe rolled in on a Thursday evening around 7 to find ourselves miraculously sliding into the last two parking spots AND the only open table, woot! [Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!

I had my husband's 70th birthday party at River of Beer and it was fantastic! They have a separate…read morebuilding with a really nice room overlooking the river on one side and the fire pit/main restaurant on the other The room itself is warm & inviting with lots of wood, big windows, high ceilings and the tables can be set up any way you want. We had a cocktail party for about 35 people at high tops and it was excellent (plenty of room for dancing, etc) The food was delicious, prices are very reasonable and the staff were great! I highly recommend having any kind of party there! I can't say enough about Erin who was the event manager. She worked with me for months making sure that everything is going to be perfect. I'm sure I was driving her crazy at several points but her patience was exceptional and her management & organization skills are incredible! She also is a tech wiz (at least compared to me) and helped me set up a playlist for the party on a Bluetooth system and a video loop of photos of my husband to play on the TVs. She was there the whole night along with a bartender and runner and everything was as smooth as can be. I was totally relaxed knowing that she was taking care of all the details! Thank you so much, Erin! The party would not have been a terrific success without you! Definitely check out River for your next party!

This place is so good. The food is tasty and hits the spot late night…read more Great portions. If you like what Latin American countries do with burgers and hot dogs, this is the spot. Reminds me of Colombia or Brazil. Recommend the NY chopped cheese, the burgers, and the MozzFather hotdog. Spicy is just spicy enough, the ratings are pretty spot on, spicy 1 for the kids, spicy 2 for the bitties, spicy 3 for the old farts like me who need to get slapped in the fact. Solid desserts. Which at dinner or midnight goes down perfect. Oreos or cake. Tried the (new?) hotdogs could've been a little crispier for a NJ ripper, but still really good. The take special instructions so I'm sure if you ask they'll do it. Solid staff and management. Great music and roomy with spots to sit and chill and talk, super welcoming, though I usually do takeout as I live just a town over.

Another review from a poor man. This review is a…read morecomplete mix bag for me. There is very good things and some irksome things about our latest visit here. The pros. The chicken wings had a good crisp, the side salad I asked for was fresh, the cheese steak roll was pillowy soft and was nicely cheesy, and most importantly, the gentleman behind the bar who took our order was a fantastically nice guy The cons. The garlic parm sauce on the wings were a bit lacking and the amount of meat on the cheese steak was only half enough to really fill that long roll. And the most irksome thing was the 2,23 % "technology fee". No offense but WTH is that?????? If it was to use the credit card, it wasn't explained at all. Look, if you like a funky bar with good food and you are in the area, I would say check it out once in your life and form your opinion. But, for me, I just don't know how often

We had several glasses of wine, we had appetizers, we had French onion soup, we had pizza, we had linguine with clams, we had steak, we had tuna, we had dessert. We had so much food, we brought some home too! Kathy, our excellent server and photographer, took great care of us. It was so nice to watch the sunset on the snow as it was being plowed in the parking lot and the fire burning in their fireplace. It was like being at a ski resort restaurant after being on the slopes all day except we were the only ones there. Loved every minute! Thank you for making our afternoon so special!

The woman working at the counter was really friendly and gave us her recommendations. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we did just that! We got the fried zucchini for an appraiser and the spicy station chicken box to share. The fried zucchini wasn't heavily breaded or oily, and the box was super spicy packed with so much flavor. We also got the crispy chicken sandwich, the Louisiana chicken sandwich, and the spicy burger with a side of onion rings. Each burger/sandwich came with a fun colored bun! The chipotle sauce was so good and we all enjoyed the food. Even though most of it was fried, nothing came out soggy and drenched in oil. Would definitely recommend this place as you get a good amount of food for the price. The inside was clean and nicely lit and it got lost of natural light from the windows.
