This place is small and is located in a rural area. However, they do attract a good amount of customers. The server was attentive. Food was ok.

Not a bad place by any stretch of the imagination. My biggest issue was the fact we were served raw dough (Buffalo chicken wontons ) and the wings tasted like pure vinegar the Buffalo sauce seemed very daluted. The service was great and attentive and the dining area was clean . Its not a bad hometown eatery and i hope when I go back we will see that they were just having an off night .

The food was very good, but this is my second time going there and each time they've messed up my bill and overcharged me. I caught it the first time, and missed it the second time. I didn't get an itemized receipt to verify the charges were correct. I don't think I'd go back because of that reason.

Food was good, but the service was awesome. We were on a road trip and found this gem. I had the wings and fries. My wife had the blue steak salad. The buffalo sauce is very tasty and homemade. The blue cheese sauce is one of the best I have had. Recommend if you get wings tell them to cook a little longer. My wings were done but could have used an extra couple minutes.Bartender Crystal was great.

The staff was friendly, the bar was smokey, and the food was overcooked.An unfortunate set of circumstances lead to me coming here, when my initial pick for dinner was closed. Luckily I had wanted to try the River Road House for a few weeks now, so now's a good of time as any I thought.I called in a few hours ahead of time and put in an order of Garlic Parm Wings, BBQ Wings, Truffle Fries, and a Small Salad. I really wanted wings that night, so I was really looking forward to this especially given it's my one day I get to eat whatever I want. All in total I spent roughly $42, a little steep for bar food but maybe the quality would surprise me?Well I was surprised, but not in a good way. The wings, which I was shorted on as the BBQ wings only included 7 pieces and not 10, were very over-fried. They were closer to big croutons, with a crispy chicken center. The truffle fries got the same treatment, being the most crunchy french fries I have had in recent memory, and after eating a dozen the flavor just became burnt. The only passible dish was the salad and even that was disappointing, as the leaves were wilted under the top layer which I failed to notice until after I dug around in it.Now I'm a take-out kind of guy, so my meal was a flop, but I do want to say that the staff I did deal with were friendly and nice. The bar inside has a very local feel to it, almost empty when I stopped in around 4PM to pick up my order, but I bet it fills up later at night. There was also an exterior dinning area, which is interesting, though the season for using that is coming to a close.

Very nice, small locally owned bar and restaurant. Serves excellent food and you can get anything from a steak, to a burger, to seafood pasta. It's all great quality. The service is fast and polite. Would recommend for any date night or night out with friends.

This little gem is off the beaten path. Discovered while transitioning from Howe Caverns to zombie ziplining (only available weekend nights in October) at Mountain Ridge Adventurers .We had both a fish & chips and cheese steak w/ onion rings. Everything was excellent especially the onion rings. Service was fast friendly and made us feel welcome. More beer options on tap than bottles.
