A big thank you from the Aroma Park Boat Club to Ryan's Pier for hosting our annual Officers' Dinner! We had a wonderful experience. The Ribeye steaks were fantastic, and the appetizers and staff service were excellent all around.

It seems ownership doesn’t mind people smoking right next to the door and anywhere in the patio where people are eating with their children. First time last time.

Happy Sunday! Here at Ryan’s Pier, my daughter and I enjoyed our first time here for lunch. Weather was beautiful with all the shine sun on this gorgeous Sunday. Topping at 89 degrees with a little breeze, it felt wonderful. A cute little lake view with a park for the kiddos. It was a decent place for any day outing. Just a nice view and something for everyone to enjoy their afternoon. Ryan’s Pier had plenty of seating inside and out. A full bar with plenty of options. I ordered a margarita nothing too fancy but still really good. Menu was simple with burgers, wraps, quesadillas and a kiddos menu. A typical bar menu. Except Ryan’s Pier was a total hit, and our new lunch time outing! Everything was really good! We ordered the kids cheese quesadilla, chicken wrap with onion petals and some homemade crab cakes. Everything was really delicious for our lunchtime and very much appeasing. Our entrees came out hot and ready! Didn’t take no time! Our waitress and the staff were terrific! Nice smiles with great hospitality. The women were patient and pretty much laid back. Good service, nice view and great company is always a great time! Always my motto! Check em out!

Had appetite for there home made baked pies. Late Friday evening. Lots of patrons. Very noisy. Pie crust was very good, but berry filling was more of a jell filling .

This place can come of as a small town bar/restaurant. Kinda dark & underwhelming. THAT BEING SAID, DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! The staff were wonderful, the atmosphere was awesome and the food was amazing!!! I had a chicken wrap and I needed both hands to pick up half. I swear there was a half a chicken in there! It was delish. There reputation for pie preceded our visit so we shared a piece. Unbelievably great homemade pie! Will go back and highly recommend!

We really enjoy going to Ryan's Pier. The food is not fancy, just very good!!! The cakes and pies are phenomenal!!! Drinks are always good!!!!
We use the outdoor dining and had a delay in service a little but once she realized we were there, it was fine. The patio is breezy. Parts of it are covered. It looks out on the river which is interrupted by the parking for the venue. That's unfortunate, especially since there was a parks department truck with a flat tire parked right in front in the view of the river as well. Food was great. Came out fast. Friendly funny waitress. The three of us had a wonderful time. Not fancy or pretentious at all. Never went inside to review that aspect of the business.

We love eating at Ryan’s Pier, but the last 3 times we have tried to go out to eat there. It’s closed for a private event. 3 separate times.

Cool laid back atmosphere, with a river across the street. Great burgers, really cool server, and cold beer. Go.... enjoy..... you will thank me later.

We stopped by after coming from our trip to U of I—couldn’t be happier with the food and exceptional service offered. We sat outside with full view of the sunset and river.
The onion and crab cakes taste homemade. Everything about this place hit the spot. From the flavorful burgers to the blueberry pie.
This is the place to wind down & leave with a belly full of all-American favorites
