Riverside Pizza & Pub - Batavia

Hello everyone. I had the Pot Roast Pasta, which is a Fettuccine Alfredo and pot roast. I love both bit never had them together. Surprisingly It was very good. I heard that the burgers are good but i will have to try them next time.
Service sucked though. Had to wait 20 minutes for a soda. But it was not the only thing that we had to wait a long time for.

Best pizza I have found in the suburbs yet. I grew up on the original Mama lunas pizza in Chicago which was on Fullerton Ave in Chicago near St Genevieve school. That has moved down Fullerton a ways and opened a new location as well. Mama lunas was the best Chicago pizza I ever had. Tried every place in Chicago. I would say Riverside is a very close match. It was very good pizza. Finally! I had a classic thin crust sausage pizza.

Service was good. Didn't care for the crust as compared to other pizzas. It's okay not my favorite but I think it's just a matter of taste. But they did loaded it up with the ingredients I asked for so that's a big plus for me.

I get that some days are worse than others. So, today, we thought, let’s try going there in the early afternoon and maybe, just maybe the service would be better. Well, at 1:30 on a Sat, the place was maybe 1/3 full. I counted at least 2 waiters and probably 3 bus boys and one worthless host. And, just like the last 3 times I have been here, the service was terrible. So much so, that after sitting and waiting for 15 minutes just to have someone some and take a drink order and greet us, we said enough is enough and walked out. Waiters waiting by the bartender to make drinks. Bus boys carrying one item at a time. A host, that literally sits there only to seat you and sees us sitting not being served. The last 3 times, the service was slow, the order was wrong, it took one time 1.5 hours and one hour of that, was waiting to get the food. Sorry, 4 times consistently at different times of the day. I will never go there again.

Definitely sports pub environment. Great for pizza, wings, and the pot roast sandwich. A bit loud for having conversations or meetings, but a lively environment. The summer of 2024 was rough because no a/c inside. Hopefully that's fixed now.

Update: Sept 2024 - Ordered food for delivery and almost everything was undercooked. Deep Dish pizza had absolutely no flavor, couldn't taste the italian beef, pizza dough was raw - we had to recook it for it to be edible. Wings were raw -had to put them in the air fryer. Chicken fingers, that we used to love, had no flavor and a weird texture. We were hoping the food quality would have been better since we havent been here for awhile but still not good. We will still go for drinks and to watch a game at the bar though.

Riverside used to be one of our go-to's since it opened but management or staff changed recently and the quality of their food went downhill. The last few orders we've either ordered for delivery or take out, the order has been wrong and/or the quality control of food was very poor.

I do not recommend getting the kids mac and cheese unless they like nacho cheese sauce on top of plain pasta. Our son would not eat it and I don't blame him, it was disgusting.

On the plus side, the bar for drinks is great and we love Kaitlyn!!

Vibes are great here. Nicely decorated and lots of TV’s for sports. Menu is very large and my friends love the quality. Just wish they had more vegetarian options.

Their AC is currently down but they took it seriously and rented portable units and got gigantic fans.

We hosted a large (150+ people) event here and were so satisfied with the service, food and overall enthusiasm of the staff. Steven, Katelyn, Shannon, Hannah and owner Brian went out of their way to ensure the event went off without a hitch. We cannot thank them enough.

Cool place. Food was good. The AC didn't work when I was there, and it was a bit pricey. Other than that, nice place.
