We went there many times over the past three years. We recently went and the staffing has changed. Also, the prices have gone up substantially. I usually get the Pastrami on rye. The bread was burnt and very little amount of Pastrami. Small portion of fries. We regret that we are not going back!

Great pub and grill in Brandon Vermont. The buffalo chicken wings were fantastic. Well sauced and believe double fried based on the texture. The beer cheese soup was delicious as well and went well with the fried chicken sandwich which was perfectly crispy but still super tender.

Great food highly recommended

The food was great, our server was attentive and never wrote a thing down... she remembered our entire order. The ambiance was good... it was a very nice night.

We've enjoyed previous meals and service with The River Pub, not this time. Only 2 servers working and no one helping to bus tables (which hasn't been an issue in the past). Not overly busy for NYE, there were several open sears at the bar and open tables in the restaurant. When we arrived, our table was not ready but was cleared shortly after we arrived. The person who seated us asked if we wanted water and we said yes. That was the last we saw of our server for 15 minutes (not an exaggeration!). When they returned, we asked for the waters that were offered when we were seated. We had to ask if there were any specials as that information was not offered. Based on the time lag in service, we opted not to order appetizers or salad and just have a meal. We both ordered from the specials that had been mentioned - duck and filet mignon. The filet was very good - tender and cooked as requested. The duck was a disappointment - overcooked and overwhelmed by items served with it. It was disappointing to spend $125.00 for 2 drinks, two entrees and 1 shared dessert and poor service. Not sure that we'll be rushing back to Brandon to eat here.

Someone gave us a gift card, we've been a few times but was waiting for the seasonal menu change. It finally happened and it was delicious. Definitely prefer the winter menu. Food, service and ambiance were great. They make the best blue cheese dressing. And the margarita was pretty darn good too!

Right size restaurant/bar for Brandon with good quality food and drinks with friendly service. Unfortunately it was quite chilly temperature the whole time we were there. Would also appreciate better lighting. Our table was in somewhat of a dark hole feeling. I expect the warm weather months would find it more enjoyable.

We've had some inconsistent experiences at the River. Really enjoyed it when they first opened, awesome chicken wings app (large sized pieces), good clean food. Seemed like it went downhill after Covid, trouble finding good/experienced staff, food was disappointing. Our food was much better this time, burgers cooked as ordered, fries weren't greasy/soggy, and our server seemed knowledgeable. Gripes: the salmon dish is underwhelming for the price, the rice that came with it was bland. Also the desserts were mediocre, cheesecake and mousse layer cake were cold and the cheesecake didn't seem homemade. Overall, though, better than previous recent visits, and hopefully things are on the upswing!

Over priced food. Nothing worth going back for. Got served the wrong side, after finally getting the correct side, we got charged for both. Geez.
