Rivertap Restaurant and Pub

Got fish tacos, a little over cooked, husbands chicken wrap had small amount of meat, too much salad dressing and lettuce. Service is excellent, I mean really excellent, cute place, food came out quickly and the taste for both was very very good.

Great food great service! I came up from Eugene Oregon to go check out the gorge. The river tap came highly suggested. And I wanna say a big shout out to the manager. I believe her name was Kenzie. She was so nice and very helpful definitely will be coming back

Service was atrocious. Most of the food brought out was inedible and not what we ordered (sides, dressing). We would have sent it back if it had not already taken well over an hour to come out in the first place. Our side salad sat for 15 minutes with another table’s burgers under the warmer before they brought it out. Avoid this restaurant.

Good little spot in The Dalles. On the one way with parking but hard to find parking during busy hours. I had the Nashville Fish Sandwich. Decent. Thought it could be spicier. Sides were healthy sized. I got a fresh green salad and my buddy got a plate full of sweet potato fries. Never had a bad time or meal here. Cold beer too.

We found Rivertap on one of the round-a-bouts thru The Dalles, since all the circuitous streets are One Way.

This establishment is rustic yet friendly. They have a semi-impressive beer list (My only issue with large beer lists is that all the beers are not consumed in equal portions, leaving the less favorable flat).

If you are a hop-head, unfortunately the top beer had only 70 IBUs but it was a very sturdy brew, with notes of fresh grain, hop flowers and a hint of honey.

This is a nice stop for beer and a burger.

We were seated right away. Took a while to get waited on, even longer to get our food. Long enough that we were ready to leave. But what turned my stomach was watching our waitress pet a dog a couple of times. I'm sure a health department violation. Will never return to this establishment as that was repugnant. I asked the bacon to be well done, it wasn't, was hardly cooked.

That place is awesome! The ladies are great! The food, namely the fries, were spectacular. The atmosphere was very nice and mellow. It is a great spot to eat. I'm not a drinker, but I can definitely see this place being an awesome place to grab some drinks and hang out at.

Had great drinks, the thia tomato bisque was excellent. And the beer cheese was great with our burger and tots! Customer service was excellent as well. We were in on Monday night the 18th! When I'm back in the area will go again!

No complaints about my breakfast. Biscuit was fluffy and so were the scrambled eggs. Bloody Mary was also good.

Parking: Parking lot and street parking on 2 sides of the building.

In town for work and there’s not a lot of great options. Came for lunch and waited over 10 minutes for someone to get me drinks or take my order. I ordered the Asian chicken salad. The salad was drenched in sweet chili sauce, had very little chicken and took 40min from the time I placed my order. They seem very understaffed as the bartender was serving all the tables and bar.
Ended up coming back for dinner as a lot of places are closed on Mondays. I figured maybe it was just a one off bad lunch experience because the reviews are fairly good. Again the restaurant was understaffed and took awhile to be seated. I ordered the “famous” spinach artichoke dip which was essentially cream cheese with jalapeños in it. It was brought to me slightly above room temp with shredded Parmesan on top not even melted. I asked if it was supposed to be served hot as the menu said “piping hot” the server said not hot but warm. I asked for it to be heated and they did so. The dip is served with pita bread, carrots, cucumbers (?) and sliced tomatos (?) very odd choice of things to be served with a spinach artichoke dip? Am I supposed to dip my tomato slice in this? For 16.95$ you get maybe a half a cup of dip MAYBE and odd options to dip? Absolutely not worth that price.
Will not be coming back.

A group of us stopped by on our vacation to the Oregon coast. We walked in and the atmosphere was dirty. We ordered waters with lemon and they were rotten and moldy. My friend ordered an iced tea took one drink and said it was rotten. We asked for our check and did not order food. While sitting in the booth my pant leg rubbed up against the bottom of the table and got all sticky and had gross clobs of food on it.

I may have gone on a difficult night for Rivertap. After our server took our order we never saw them again. It was the night of a street festival and I suspect they were understaffed. I had the fish and chips and for the price I was disappointed to receive one modest filet and a second sliver of fish for $18. I couldn't tell if that was a normal portion or if they had run out of fish for the evening. The person who brought our food out noticed we had not been given napkins or condiments and took care of it. The malt vinegar we requested was very bland. Our group sat outside on the patio and the atmosphere was very nice. Overall I'd be willing to try them again in hopes of a better evening. The fish was fried well and the fries were delicious. I got to try a slider that my friend ordered and it was very tasty.

Have ordered through doordash as I never get a chance to eat in. Every time ive ordered through doordash the food is either overcooked, missing something, or outright incorrect.

Today I ordered their breakfast [Plato Huevo] as I had to leave for work early. I waited eagerly to give em another chance.

Unfortunately, as with other the orders , this was a flatout screw up. I had received an entirely different persons order all together. I received someone's beer cheese bendict.

I dont know how thats even possibles. First mix up ive had through door dash.

Wont order from yall through DD again. Might give yall a chance in person in the future. I dont know why my experience has been like this.

If you want frozen food, This is the spot for you!!! Got a Cesar salad and the grilled chicken was a frozen patty chicken strips where horrible dressing was out of a bottle and burger patty’s were frozen patty’s. Horrible food better off going to fast food. At least you won’t get ripped off $20 for a Cesar salad and that was old and nasty
