My group has been going to this place every year for the last 20 years on our golf weekend, and unfortunately everyone in our group agrees that the food has gone downhill. Our server worked her butt off and I love the atmosphere outside, but my steak was small and overcooked, and many of my friends complained about their burgers. Another friend had the lamb chops and complained of stomach pain that night. Unfortunately it sounds like next year we'll be finding somewhere else to go. We've had a lot of memories at Riverside but I can't disagree with the decision to try somewhere else.

For for the pricepoint is meh. Won't come back anytime soon. The steak with the secret sauce wasn't worth over 30 dollars. Fillets from Sam's with simple seasoning tastes a lot better. Their pork chops taste like a glorified thanksgiving ham. Bison burger was bland and to be expected very dry. The appetizers ( fried mushrooms and fries wrapped things )were better than the entree's. Save your money

We had the Bluegill. It was very good. Our son had the Tips. They were over-cooked. We will probably return.

This place has definitely gone downhill. Our waitress ran around like she was on meth. We gave her our order, and then she came back 20 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order! I knew it was going to be bad at that moment. We should have left, but instead, we stuck around and waited 40 more minutes for our dinners. My wife was happy with her chicken. I took one bite of the buffalo burger and took it to the waitress. It was absolutely gross and luke warm. We won't be returning.

Menu is not updated with prices. You have to be asking how much each dish costs.

Steak was very dry and cooked well done, not medium like I asked. Ended up giving the steak to my dog. Asked for a Black and Blue steak salad and they gave me a Cobb salad with well done steak on top. The Buffalo mozzarella sticks are way too big over breaded, over priced and just overall didn't taste very good. The pretzel sticks were pretty basic, no salt. Definitely not worth $100 wouldn't recommend for food.

Food was subpar! I got the all you can eat wings on a Thursday night. Wings were small and way overcooked. They also took 30 minutes to get another order out. Needless to say I only had two orders. Appetizer was good but not much else. Would not recommend doing wings if you go there.

I’m not generally a fan of Monticello restaurants, but his place was amazing.

I had the smelt, my wife had the prime rib.

Food was great, loved sitting on the patio looking at the river, it felt like Florida or something, I’ll be going back.

Nice place to eat at, but make sure you ask the prices of their specials and look at their menu and you will see what I mean. The waitresses are fantastic and the woody's are their special drink. Enjoy the outdoors setting. No one under 18.
