What a great little tavern, the bartender/waitress was so friendly and attentive, the music was sublime, and I had the best sweet potato fries. Definitely coming back again!

3.5 normal tavern fair. Nothing too crazy, however.... portion size can be wild, so you might get more than your mineys worth :) soooo many fried pickles, the maac n cheese app could be a meal, and the chicken parm app is a whole damn meal. Full breast, breaded and cheeeeeseeed up for $11. If you spend $8, you can get a side salad and penne.

The breast needed to be butterflied and given the real chicken parm treatment, but decent. Loved the fried pickles and dipping sauce. My wife enjoyed her soup and sandi and loved how much cheese the gc had

Best garlic parm wings I have ever had. My wife enjoyed her custom burger. Made to perfection. Lucy provided my wife and I great customer service. The mango strawberry margarita was on point as well. I like this.

Some things are better off unsaid then spoken but the Truth is River Rock is a classic watering hole. Just one of those places you swing thru for a quick in and out. Depending what kind of individual you are will dictate more of the in and out part for you.

River Rock always listens to my notes. They are fast and delicious. Our favorites are the bourbon salmon and their burgers. We will be back soon! 🍔😋

Update 2023: I am on an AIP medical diet and they follow all of my instructions! They are kind and I highly recommend them even if you are soy free, gluten free, night shade-free, etc. They are so kind and don't turn anyone down.

Stopped by for apps on the deck. Incredibly delicious app menu which includes 50 cent wings on Sundays. I was a little hesitant at first but... they were cooked PERFECTLY... crispy, savory and flavorful. Friendly cute server, however things took a little longer then they should have to come out (reason for the loss of 1 star). She seemed to be the only server working the deck and she apologized often. She was really sweet and wonderful, not her fault. Mexican Nachos with chilli was equally as amazing and not only were the nachos housemade, but they were cheesy all the way through - huge win - this ROCKED! As "deck season" is upon us, management should consider adding a second server on nice sundays like today. Overall... awsome experience and I will be back to try out that burger menu with the husband! Thanks for an awesome afternoon!.

Great food, great service. I loved their bacon mashed potato balls, they were amazing. The staff is very nice, and the food is served in large portions. There is outdoor seating and a fire table. The inside has big TVs and a juke box. I would definitely recommend this place.

It is very rare that I give anywhere 5 stars. Let me start by saying the food was great, the portions were large, the price was fair, and the service was attentive. Stopped by here with 2 friends for dinner after a celebration of life service. We split the bacon mashed potato balls, and calamari for starters. We also each order dinners, which I don't remember the names of, I though ordered a wrap that contained chicken avocado and bacon, how can you go wrong?
I am rarely in this area, as it is 1.5 hours from my home, but should I be again I would certainly dine here again.
