“My husband and I have driven by this place so many times 🚗 but never had the chance to stop. Today we were in the area at just the right time and finally made it happen 🙌 OMGSH we are so glad we did! The food was outstanding, the homemade bread was incredible 🥖 and everything was so fresh. Our server Emily was an absolute blast 😄 She was fun, sarcastic (just the way we like it 😉) and made us feel like we were regulars from the moment we sat down. It’s one of those places where everyone seems to know each other, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming 🩷 We live a little over an hour away, but this spot is absolutely worth the drive. We’ll definitely be back! ✨ Sorry no food pics… we were too hungry 😆🍽️“

“Always the best food and customer service in town. We have been going to 50 local for years, it continues to be a family favorite. Have to share because it made such a hard evening just a little easier. A few weeks ago we lost our dog Scout very tragically. I called in an order to go and whn I went in to pick it up the hostess immediately knew something was wrong. She asked if I was alright and I instantly broke down.. I told her what had just happened. She then proceeded to give me two desserts, gave me a big hug and, told me they were on the house. It wasn’t about the desserts (they were fantastic as always) it was more the kindness, support and, sympathy that she showed us that evening. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate you all so much.“

“How could anybody complain when we’ve just been through a pandemic - We’ve been through a shutdown, many thousands of people have died, schools closed & kids had to learn from home (and then had hybrid learning), many businesses folded & people lost their jobs, the job market changed & people worked from home - Prices went up considerably which made it much harder for some people to get by & many could not make it - I feel that it is remarkable that The River Tap & Grill has done as well as any restaurant out there - Kudos to the owners, the staff & to all the others who have made this possible -“

“Right off the bat 🦇, weird location and undefined parking.

It's a building 🛖 located on the forked split of the parking lot for an old folks home 👵👴🏘 and a police 🚓 🚨 station.

I drove around 🚗 the lots trying to figure out where I'm supposed to park for 10min of takeaway food. 🤷
No signage! 🪧

You enter from the side of the building into a dark 🕶 area of industrial feel (the counter, coffee center etc) with dim lighting.
The only happy bright 🌞 😎 place is the front of the building where it's all windows

Huge difference up there.

After that, inexpensive 🫰 3 egg omelette meal $8.41
Toast & home fries.
Quickly served with artist flair on the omelette.

The takeaway box was cardboard not styrofoam...thank you 🙏

Needs more atmosphere.
Lighting!!

“It's tough marking atmosphere because it's not designed to be a full service sit down restaurant. It has a fair amount of seating, including some tables outside but it's counter serve.
Staff was great, and I like how they open each container for you to see the food when picking it up, a nice little extra I haven't seen elsewhere.
Limited food selection and big ice cream menu.
Love how the ice cream menu is categorized, easy to find favorites by type.
Lobster roll and clam chowder was wonderful, making me regret not ordering a couple of them! The roll wasn't huge but I thought the price very reasonable, especially for as good as it was.
Definitely would recommend it and will go here again when looking for takeout or in the mood for counter service.“
