“Recently, we got married at the three chimneys inn. It was the Perfect day. From the time we toured and booked to the day of event and beyond, Kelsey, Romaine, and their staff worked hard and seamlessly to make our event run smoothly. Kelsey was the best wedding coordinator, responding patiently to our many questions and follow up emails. Both Kelsey and Romaine were very present and calming all weekend! They always had a smile on their faces and made sure we and our guests had everything we needed. As the night was underway, they broke down all our decor and neatly placed it for our pick up the next day. I can not recommend this venue enough for anyones wedding or other big event! It’s a beautiful setting, they work well with other vendors such as the photographer, bakery, or dj, and their staff and accommodations were very welcoming. Thank you Kelsey, Romaine, and all your staff once again!!“

“I moved here 11 years ago and my first of many wonderful meals at the Riverworks. I especially liked the beer battered chicken fingers. But something has changed in the batter and I had them last night, 3/17/25 and they're not as good. Please return to the other recipe. But you are a favorite restaurant. Suellen Leugers“

Tomato’s were ripe and not over cooked. The seasoning was just perfect! Well done Paul! Thank you guys for adding this to the menu! 10/10“
