I got married on 9/13/2025 at 916 Riverside and it was one of the best wedding related decisions my husband and I made. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site and it was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The ceremony was held outdoors on their patio, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how visually stunning it was. We primarily communicated with Jake, the owner, and Brooke, one of the head staff. They were both incredibly helpful and responded immediately whenever we reached out. Anytime I suggested something or asked if it was possible to do X, Y, or Z - Jake accepted with open arms and supported all of our ideas to make our big day personable and meaningful. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but doing so via Jake and Brooke made it as painless as possible, and that is something I am very grateful for. Staff paid attention to small details and ensured that everything got done in the way we envisioned and requested. At the end of our reception, Jake’s staff cleaned up quickly and packed all decorations and center pieces onto two designated tables, which made it that much easier for my husband and I to pick up and pack up everything the day after. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and there’s truly nothing I can critique. 916 Riverside will always be special to us, and I would recommend them in a heartbeat for any couples who are hunting for a venue. Thank you Jake, Brooke, and all staff at 916 Riverside!

I had my older sons graduation party here and it was perfect. The food was awesome, the restaurants banquet room was very large and spacious but most of all the ladies taking care of everything for us were absolutely amazing. They took care of everything and were so friendly. They made it very enjoyable for all of us. Thank you so much to the staff at 916 Riverside!

This one is tough because I think the food is delicious, but they need to figure a better more efficient way to serve their patrons. 2 weeks ago. We were told it would be a 25 minute wait. It was at least an hour. Last night we were 45 minutes to 1 hour. It was all of that, we then sat at our table for 25 minutes before they realized no one had waited on us yet. By the time we were driving out we were there for 3 hours. That's unacceptable.

I had the pub chip nachos and she suggestiond added chicken.. everything was phenomenal and I will definitely be back again.. thank you

There is no better place in Brewerton for a party, together with friends, or get a meal with loved ones. The food is always high-quality, plenty of floor staff, and the owner is always on site. And it’s on the river, big screened in Tiki bar, plenty of parking and seating. Plus Jake Grub and Grog is right next-door. You don’t even have to drive.
Great view of the inlet. Lots of boats going in and out to entertain you. The resident seagull "Sam Adam's" is a hoot. The clams were good but the seafood salad was not. I t was heavily filled with red pepper which destroyed the delicate seafood taste. Our waitress was wonderful and good humored. Tiki bar atmosphere vibe is great!plenty of parking and easy access. We will be back.
Very accommodating for the field band. Thank you
