River City Cafe is a restaurant that offers a variety of food options, including burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, and even cheese curds. It is known for its great atmosphere and kid-friendly environment. The restaurant is located next to the Surfside Pier and has both indoor and outdoor seating. If you prefer to sit outside, it is recommended to call ahead or arrive early as it can get busy. The ambience is meant for the down home kinda people, making it a diamond in the rough despite its inward appearance.
The staff is friendly, and the service can be hit or miss, but when it’s good, it’s top-notch. The Pizza Burger, which is a cheeseburger topped with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese curds on a pretzel roll, is a popular menu item. Prices can be on the higher side during the summer season, but the food is worth it. Many customers enjoy the peanuts provided on the table, a tradition to throw shells on the floor, though not everyone participates.
One unique aspect of the restaurant is that they provide peanuts for customers to eat, and it is a tradition to throw the shells on the floor. For those with mobility issues, there is an elevator available for easy access, as there is a big flight of stairs. The restaurant is part of a large group that owns several other restaurants in the area. Visitors often praise the great view of the ocean while dining, making it a highly recommended spot to experience good food and friendly service.
