The Rivers Family Restaurant is a cozy diner with a welcoming atmosphere and clean decor. Friendly staff, including efficient servers, provide good service. The menu features large portions at fair prices, with tasty food and reasonable prices. Breakfast and supper options are available, including the Minnesota River Skillet, which is very good with crispy hash browns. Customers can enjoy breakfast at any time, making it a convenient choice. The restaurant also offers quick service, including prompt coffee refills, enhancing the enjoyable dining experience.
Many customers praise the fluffy omelettes, including the Garden Fresh omelet with cheese, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms, which some say is the best omelet they've had in years. The crispy hash browns can be prepared in different ways, and the English muffin served with butter and jelly adds to the meal. The pancakes are especially noted for their divine scent and incredible taste, with options like blueberry, maple, and strawberry syrups.
Desserts are made in-house and are worth the visit, although some found the pie filling less satisfying. The restaurant provides home-cooked food, reasonably priced desserts, and a homey atmosphere. Many appreciate the better service and value compared to other local options, and some have enjoyed the rhubarb dessert and to-go orders. Overall, The Rivers Family Restaurant is a popular choice for good, hearty meals in a friendly setting, with a wide variety of meals from breakfast to dinner, including the delicious garlic cheese curds and chicken broccoli Alfredo served with garlic toast.
