They were sadly out of both their soup and chili when we went, but the sandwiches here are excellent along with the fried fish!

The BEST family restaurant in Indian River- perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!!! All inclusive...... best coffee/eggs/bkfst potatoes!!!! Also homemade breads.... Lunch is always BLT for me... Always cheerful wait staff and GREAT senior citizens prices read more

we find ourselves questioning the judgement of those who recommended this place to us. It's a mid sized restaurant that serves diner food but there was a 20+ min wait for a table with only three couples in front of us. The hostess doesn't show you to your table, you are instead given directions and expected to find it yourself. No proper or self respectable establishment does that. Period. Makes you wonder what other corners are being cut. From sitting down to getting our food took over 45 min. We ordered our drinks and food all at once, no special requests. We were served food without silverware and it took them 10 min to resolve that. The pancakes were raw on the inside. If you can't do a pancake correctly, what else is being done wrong...well my partner had a different meal and was vomiting later that day so that answers that question. This restaurant prides itself on treating its customers like they are part of the family. A meal like this is grounds for divorce. read more

Everything from the servers to the food is always good. I've been camping at the Burt Lake Campsite for the past 5 years and have always eaten at Wilson's Edge which is right next door. I'll keep coming! read more

We were quickly seated and waited on. The food came out fast. I had some of the best coleslaw, and flavored lemonade with my chicken. Hubby had the chicken club and the breast was bigger than the very big bun. It is a homey place where it seems everyone knows everyone. read more

i went for 2 different days n was attended by 2 different servers n i got impeccable service! food is great n reasonably priced. i just find their coffee weak though but their corned beef, american fries n sour dough bread is out of this world. *there's apparently buffet on weekends. read more

The food is incredible. We were a party of four. We had stuffed hash browns, Polish American, potato pancakes and a chicken sandwich. All were incredible. The star is grandma's homemade bread!! read more

I'm from out of town, and this place is really cute. Quaint, unassuming, but very good. The food was delicious. Service was quick. The wait time seemed long when we arrived but we waited 15 minutes. Well worth it. read more

Breakfast is great. The olive burger takes the prize...it is the best I've ever eaten. Pies are excellent...we usually get one to take home.

Great breakfast and equally nice service. The prices are decent too!! We only come by while on vacation. Gluten free options too! GF bread!! read more

The breakfast is always good here. I like the breakfast bar and the staff are friendly and fun.

The food was VERY good. I had the Cuban sandwich and my wife ordered a Club sandwich. Both were excellent and stacked really high. In fact, my wife generally gets her order with fries. She will eat the fries while hot and crispy and box up the sandwich for later at home. The sandwich was stacked so high, she had to push it down a bit just to close the to-go box. Both sandwiches, both with "upgrades" to fries (instead of chips) and two soft drinks was only $37 and change. Very reasonable for the quantity and quality. Pricing almost on par, and certainly not much more than many fast food places these days. Will not hesitate to stop in again while in the area looking for a bite. read more

We came out from Alanson to enjoy breakfast. Really great food and friendly service. I ordered an omelette with hash browns, wheat toast, and a cup of coffee. Good flavors including good water. Reasonable prices, nice choices, many home made recipes - loved the wheat bread. Would have loved to try the pies - blueberry please! Next time, for sure. We'll definitely be back. read more

The meals we ate were amazing!! Grandmothers homemade pies are to die for !!! Harmony the service person was one of the best server's we've had in a very long time the place has plenty of seating for large groups and the kitchen know all about timing!! Great job well done ! We will be back !! read more

This place is great for a nice breakfast or lunch. I'm sure their dinner is good too but haven't tried it yet. I have bought pies from them before that are always delicious. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere inviting. I recommend checking them out if you're ever in Indian River. Convenient location too! read more

The food at Wilson's River Edge was fantastic! My husband had the pearch dinner, and I had the Whitefish dinner. The portions were very large and delicious. Lacey was our waitress and did a tremendous job. Attentive but not disturbing. Leave room for the coconut cream pie. It was the best we've ever had! read more

COVID REVIEW: The tables are spaced out, the staff however clearly doesn't care nor respect basic guidelines. At least 3 of the servers had on sequin masks that were mesh, so the sequins covered the fact that they were mesh. A few others had masks just over their mouth or on the chin. Besides the lack of acknowledgement for the MANY elder people dining there and no concern for their health, the servers were also pretty off putting. Not friendly by any means. Food was decent and not too overly priced! read more

This is my favorite restaurant! The staff is amazing and all the food is incredible. I'm looking forward to my next visit! Thank you rivers edge for always having a quality experience! read more

On the outside, the place doesn't look so appealing- but don't be fooled. Walk into a cabin like feel with friendly faces and fresh foods. I had the grilled chicken club, served with bacon and aioli on a freshly grilled bun. Hubby had the half sandwich/cup of soup option. Juicy tomato slices with butter lettuce leaves- no ordinary romaine lettuce here. Even the potato chips were extra thick- no cheap grocery brand here! Great place, inexpensive. This is the type of restaurant that we need to keep in business! read more

Nice and friendly family restaurant Don't forget to try delicious blueberry pie! Highly recommended read more

incredibly dissatisfied with the meal from the start of no one seating us, to our food orders coming out at random times, to one of our parties dish was "out" and telling us as food was being served. This is a place I would pass when driving through Indian River. read more

The food is hot, the service is friendly, the menu was a surprise of some unique items with your standard pub fare, and prices weren't awful. Patrons and staff wore masks and were socially distant to the extent possible. read more

We stopped here on the way to an antique store, and are already planning to come here on our next trip north. We both had pancakes, of different flavors, and the hash browns, one that had onions, peppers and cheese. The food was AMAZING, the service was awesome, and we didn't have to wait long considering how busy they were. We will definitely be back. read more

I went for breakfast and I got the Mexican Breakfast Burrito without chili, add bacon. I asked for less than half sweetness of the Vanilla Iced Coffee and it was still very sweet so keep that in mind if you're considering ordering that. The burrito was a bit dry without the chili, but chili and a burrito do not go together in the slightest in my mind. I ate outside and the set up was fine. read more

Don't waste your money or time. Ordered 19 dollar whitefish basket, came on a plate. Fish was soggy and unflavourful, fries had me wondering what I was eating. Ketchup tasted like they made it themselves with side items left in the back. Mozzarella sticks were good, would have been better if their grease was clean. Wife ordered the shrimp basket, also came on a plate. Wife ate one shrimp and said it was bland and not what she expected. Deep fried pickles were horrible, if I was given those pickles the first time I tried fried pickles I would never want to try them again. Our waitress was ok but the other one let the door close on me when I was directly behind her. I do get looked at a lot up here, could be my tanned complexion might not. I kept imagining Gordon Ramsey coming here and what he would say. 2 stars instead of 1 because of the mozzarella sticks and ok waitress. Really don't waste your money, there are too many good places to eat around here for that. read more

Awesome place. Stop every time we are in Indian River. Good food and friendly servers.

Get the cinnamon roll pancakes. You will be glad you did. Pumpkin pancakes sucked big time. There was no pumpkin flavor in them and after receiving the pancakes, they told me they were out of the apple syrup that they are supposed to come with. 2 stars bc we got racist vibes from this place. Some from servers, a lot from other customers. We sat for 10 min without anyone offering water or menus, and place wasn't packed. Had a server that was short with us one day. A different girl checked us out the following day and was also curt and unfriendly. We won't be back because there were too many "why are you here?" stares for me, and I don't want indigestion. read more

Can't say enough about this place. Delicious food. Friendly wait staff. Quick service. Huge portions. We had breakfast here three times on vacation and I tend to use YELP to try different things when I have the chance. So Wilsons is simply exceptional. This would be a popular spot anywhere in the country I've ever been to, and in a town as small as Indian River it is just awesome. You can even get a Bloody Mary with your breakfast if you need a little hair of the dog. While everything was fantastic, the Nutty Camper French Toast was so ridiculously good I have to make a point of adding that to my comments. And I'm not the only one because it was another YELP review that convinced me to try it. If I lived in the area I would have to have it at LEAST once a week. Nice job to everyone at Wilson's.. read more

Wilson's is hands down the best breakfast place in Indian River. The Nutty Camper French Toast is delicious. You also can't go wrong with loaded hash browns. I stop in about 3 times every time I come up north. Absolutely the best!! read more

Any of their meals are worth the money and time to stop in and get food! One of my favorites places in Indian River MI to eat!

My first indoor dining experience in over a year, they did not disappoint. I ordered the "nutty camper" breakfast. This was amazing and I'll be ordering again. I also noticed very yummy looking food on other tables. My husband ordered steak and eggs- everything was on point. The service was excellent and the place looked clean. read more

Spur of the moment stop to eat best decision of the day! Huge portions of really good food had salad and soup all you can eat love that also had the club sandwich with chips it's so huge! Nice atmosphere and people! It was rightfully priced- actually when we got the bill I was in shock by how cheap it was for the amount of food we got! Cool place read more
