About River Street Tavern

River Street Tavern is a local favorite known for delicious food and great beer. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to grab a meal and a drink. The service is quick and friendly, with orders taken promptly and food served hot. The menu features a fantastic North Georgia Meat Company patty substitute and offers many gluten-free options, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The staff is knowledgeable about allergens and cross-contamination, ensuring a safe dining experience. Customers can enjoy a Reuben sandwich on gluten-free bread or the highly praised wonton burger. The tavern has a variety of dishes like the fig chicken sandwich, Gig Game Burger, and meatloaf, which some found had a lot of filler ingredients. While parking can be limited, there are available spots across the street and nearby. The tavern may feel a little crowded and noisy, but it adds to the cozy vibes that many love. The service, including staff like Summer and Faith, is noted for being attentive even during busy times.

Don’t go here if you have more than 4 people unless you have hours to wait and don’t actually want to eat anytime close to when you get there. Small place and unwilling to accommodate large parties even when we were willing to split up to smaller tables! 0/10 poor customer service

Awful customer service.

Hostess was extremely rude.

Bartender thought it was a good idea to leave a full bar waiting on her for 5-10 minutes so she could go outside and take pictures with friends.

Bathroom was very dirty.

We never waited long enough to order food.

After waiting around 15 minutes and seeing the chaos and how rude the staff was being we decided to take our business elsewhere.

We were searching for a pup friendly restaurant to wrap up out trip to Ellijay before heading home. River St Tavern was the first to pop up, and the menu was agreeable to our group of 4. We arrived shortly after opening on a Sunday. We were led to the pup friendly porch area. I immediately noticed how dirty it was. Tables were dirty, and the floor literally had dog hair everywhere. I chalked that up to it being the dog friendly area, but I knew we were the first to eat in that...read full review
