I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to this remarkable establishment, which consistently inspires and uplifts, fostering a profound sense of community and connection. Every visit to North Carolina is elevated by a stop here, as it offers a transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact. The exceptional warmth and hospitality displayed by Liz and Luke was truly exemplary, and our conversations with them were enlightening and enriching. My children were deeply inspired by their meals, and the staff member who took our order demonstrated remarkable compassion and care. I highly recommend savoring their exquisite breakfast offerings, which are sure to nourish both body and soul. The bacon, in particular, is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the kitchen's dedication to excellence. Kudos to the entire staff for delivering an outstanding dining experience that makes a meaningful difference in people's lives.

My husband and I live in Riverbluffs and enjoy the restaurant. The service was great, and the food was very good. Thank you for providing a nice experience.

Always a pleasure to dine at Riverside Kitchen and Bar! I had the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich and my wife had the Cubano. Both were excellent. Our server, Hiedi, was attentive and pleasant. It was music bingo night which is always fun. Try this place, you'll love it. Oh, did I mention it was Wine Down Wednesday, which mean house wines usually $9 were $6. How can you beat that!

Very pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyable family time to celebrate a birthday together. Food was delicious. We had a wide variety of selections among us from Belgian waffles to sausage,biscuits and gravy (which my husband raved about) - everything was wonderful. We were one of the first groups to arrive and by the time we were leaving the restaurant was packed! A great indication of what the locals think of the place!

Opentable Diner

We always enjoy Riverside and love that we can walk or golf cart over to it. If I'm not very hungry one of their great appetizers and a side salad is perfect. If you get dessert, you can't miss with “the brownie”......4 of us shared it the other day and it was just enough....it is YUGE, warm, and scrumptious with vanilla ice cream as the perfect topping! ❤️

Not open at the time when we had our reservation. We showed up and were turned away at the gate.

I always enjoy going to my neighborhood restaurant. There were 7 of us and 6 had not been there before. Everyone enjoyed their food and the special Christmas cocktails. Ryan was our server and he did an excellent job.

We went for brunch. The food was incredible! They had a great build your own omelette bar. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive.

We went to Riverside Kitchen & Bar to celebrate my birthday. We made reservations on OpenTable and had no issues. We went for brunch and the food was great. My husband and son got the biscuits and gravy. They liked it but it wasn't their favorite. I got the breakfast burrito and could only eat half. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday and I enjoyed the homemade tiramisu. My husband got the brownie a la mode and my son got the chocolate torte. We may go back just for dessert. The service was great and we can't wait to go back.

Brunch is our favorite at Riverside. Twelve of us meet there every Sunday for brunch. Great neighborhood vibe. Omelette station is the best.

The singing duo Butter was performing and they were FANTASTIC. The combination of a good cocktail, great food (wild mushroom ravioli), great service (Grace) and good music made for a very nice evening out.
