Food is a bit pricey, but everything we got was delicious. They have awesome chicken fingers that are homemade and the cheese sauce for their pretzels is absolutely delicious. Service was awesome as well.

Website needs to remove pics of their menu since they are old prices and prices have considerably jumped. Just sayin. Very misleading.
I’m leaving a review because I also work in customer service, and feel that this situation was poorly handled. I went there with my family, we had a wonderful waitress, but the place was extremely busy and the staff was apologetic for the wait and overwhelmed - but we did not mind that at all. We had a great time and enjoyed everything. However, when we paid, we didn’t get our credit card back. The waitress thought she gave it back to us but didn’t, we looked and looked but didn’t find it, she said she would call if she found it. Because it was so busy we agreed, but it felt strange leaving without our card knowing that they still had it. Luckily, we were staying the night, and went back in the morning. They had the card, but had not called to let us know. The manager on duty on Sunday morning 8-10-25 surmised that we left it there which was not the case. Again, we loved our waitress, and can understand misplacing the card during such a hectic night, but no one called, no one apologized, and the manager assumed it was left by us which was incorrect. I know mistakes happen, but it’s how you fix them that matters, and in this case River Rock Cafe fell short.

Waited for about 10 minutes to get a drink and the place wasn't that busy. Only like 2 people working at the time, and there were customers in front of me waiting as well.

Wayyyy overpriced. Charge $3.00 more for mediocre fries. They only give you a handful anyways. My cocktail was $12 too, would be nice if they had the prices posted on their cocktail menu. Would recommend somewhere like Luckys Steakhouse, similar price but way better food + portions.

RiverRock in Bay City, MI last night was INCREDIBLE. The olive 🫒 burger was scrumptious. The meat so fresh and the olive tapenade sauce really completed the 🍔 burger. My lovely wife (Cindy) had the house 🏠 burger and the results were the same. The French fries came out thick cut which I love ❤️ at the perfect temperature. They were a perfect compliment to the burger.
The service was great as the RiverRock team was staying busy and from I noticed was paying attention to thier clientele.
The atmosphere was great as the street was shutdown for some fun Friday night music 🎵. The Rock Show band played some of their favorites tunes. The whole experience resulted in a really fun night. Hats 🎩 off to the River Rock and ALL the business owners on Midland Street for making it the a happening place in Bay City.
Well done

Had one girl working, took almost 10 minutes before she came and took our drink order. (Only 6 people in the bar) My food was cold and she was supposed to come back with butter for our bread and we never got that either. Asked for my fish to be done crispy, it was just barely cooked.

Great breakfast joint! Portions were huge and tasted delicious - would highly recommend the parmesan potatoes. It was as really nice to see a alcohol drink menu at breakfast!
Edit** came back to have lunch after toy reopened in 2025. The staff were very friendly, portions were large and the meals were tasty. Glad to see they made a come back!
Not a.bad place my husband ordered a one pound ruebun sandwhich bread was soggy from sauerkraut bread wasn't toasted enough for that liquid and meat was flavorless. I had a triple decker club it was good the house chips good a little salty but good. His fries weren't well done needed a little more crisp.

Your experience here depends strictly on your waitress. My last visit has me never wanting to return. It should not be a struggle to get the attention of your waitress when you are literally the only customer there. But this was the case for me on my last visit.
