The draft beer had a weird taste from multiple people different kinds. Maybe soapy glasses. Service was excellent.

I had dinner at Nick Riversie Grill in D.C., and when I checked my receipt later, I saw that the waiter had added an extra $10 tip on top of what I had already written. That’s completely unacceptable.

I immediately contacted my bank to dispute the charge. Restaurants should verify all tips honestly and respect what the customer writes — not alter them afterward.

Check your receipts carefully if you eat here. This kind of behavior ruins trust fast.

Great for a beer along the river. Bartenders are friendly. Football on the tv’s. It’s a good atmosphere.

Waited so long we had to cancel our order. Seem to be short staffed and disorganised. Would not recommend this place.

Food: I had the jerk chicken bowl. The food tasted good, but the chicken was obviously frozen chicken breast that was microwaved/reheated and barely any cooking went into the making of my food.

Drinks: outside bar on a hot summer day beers were not ICE cold. They were okay temperature. Not the way you want to cool off on a hot day.

Service/atmosphere: staff was great. Atmosphere is also lovely for a sunny day.

Stopped here on Sept 27 2025, had lunch and when bill came they added a 5% operating fee says at bottom of bill ,due to the uncertainty of inflation and ever increasing cost of operating a restaurant in the district we have temporarily added 5% operating fee. Very Sneaky , not to post that anywhere beforehand, Buyer Beware

With the exception of the person who escorted us to our table, the rest were very blunt, grumpy, and quite rude. The food was quite bad, tasteless, and overpriced. Plus, they don't offer tips; they just add 20% extra.

Nick’s Riverside Grill: come for the view, stay because your server has forgotten you exist. Our waiter seemed confused from the start, dropped off our food, and then pulled a full-on disappearing act. Hope you don’t need a refill—hydration apparently isn’t part of the service.

I ordered a turkey burger. Was it edible? Yes. Memorable? Not at all. It was the kind of meal you eat just because you’re hungry and it’s 95 degrees outside, not because you actually want it.

The only thing saving this place is the gorgeous riverside view, which honestly does all the heavy lifting. If Nick’s could match even half the effort nature puts into the scenery, this might actually be a great spot. Until then, it’s a one-and-done for me.

Stopped in to get a drink and kill some time, and ended up having a great experience! The bartender was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, prompt, super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience what it was! Her recommendations were spot on and delicious. The mini-corn dogs will forever be my go to as they are delicious!! The drinks and well made, and they have a good beer selection. The prices are also quite reasonable. Nicks Riverside Grill in Georgetown is a must visit!
