Went with family for my sister’s birthday and it was fun. It was pretty busy but 3 girls were holding the place down! Our server Bailey was awesome, she let us know they do $3 off burgers on Thursdays and recommended some super tasty options. I will definitely be back!

The best smash burger!!

We came for fish fry Friday to try someplace new, unfortunately our waitress wasn't very friendly and the fish had zero taste even with the lemon, salt and pepper added. The red sauce they used was good and helped the greasy bland fish.
We have high standards all thanks to VFW on Starr Avenue - we will definitely stick to them after our experience here.

Hidden gem for laid back bar food and music on the river!

Buratta and cocktails. Fantastic!

Beautiful view, phenomenal fish fry! I feel so lucky to have gotten a recommendation to have dinner here!

Nice spot on Chippewa River. Our first visit for the Fish Fry! Excellent! Had the 2 piece cod, mashed red potatoes, slaw, & veg side added. All great tasting. Has a Brandy Ole Fashion & Shiner Bock draft. Very enjoyable....was a little cold , but was 10° outside! Nice view in summer I would imagine. Will return!!

I just had of the best burgers in my life! (The one with bacon jam)
Beer is ice cold🧊
Cheese curds are on point
Also, get the truffle fries with your meal… the texture is amazing and they are served with an amazing aioli
The service surprised me, they even split our burger for us and made great recommendations -THANK YOU SAVANNAH 👍😁

Food is always good and service is even better. One of my favorite places eat at. Can boat up to it in the summer and the outdoor patio overlooks the river.
Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome. Kid menu available
Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter. Just a small bump.
The beer battered fish and shrimp is the best around. Last night was our 1st time there. The homemade rolls were also very good. The garlic mashed baby res looked and tasted good, but were only luke warm and too thick. The old Frog Hop had the best ones anywhere. If River Jams wants the best ones, they need to serve them in a bowl, piping hot and more creamy, so they stay hot. It doesn't work to put the potatoes on the plate before the fish is done. They need to be kept very hot before putting on the plate and not be sitting there getting cold. The Cole slaw looked good, but didn't have much flavor. They were slightly sweet and not very creamy, so were confusing. Either serve traditional creamy coleslaw with good flavor or sweet non-creamy coleslaw.

1st time at this restaurant. My 20 yr old son and I just got home from Friday night fish fry at River Jams. Just so everyone knows (we didn’t know this), they ONLY have fish on Fridays. My son had the battered fried cod dinner and enjoyed it and I had the grilled walleye. The walleye was sooooo good! The seasoning was amazing and it was grilled literally perfect. My baked potato was great, coleslaw tasted fresh and even the dinner roll was good…we didn’t even add butter it was so good. My son’s “kiddie cocktail” refill was free. I got a Bloody Mary with a Spotted Cow chaser. The Bloody Mary had good flavor and was definitely not watered down. If you’re a lightweight drinker like me, only order one drink here, lol. If I had any complaint it would be about the Bloody Mary. I made it pretty clear that I wanted the spice in the drink to be mild. If that was mild, I’d hate to get it medium or spicy. If I hadn’t have liked the buzz I was catching (lol) I wouldn’t have finished the drink. I’m also a lightweight with spice, but this was pretty spicy, especially for mild. It even said mild on the receipt, so I know that our waitress knew, but not sure whoever mixed it saw that. Anyway, it was still good flavor and gave me a decent buzz and was only $5 and came with a chaser. Overall, a great experience and we will return to try their burgers! Thank you to River Jams for a great dinner!

Why were we the only ones here?! 😍 We arrived at 4 PM on a Tuesday to find an empty dining room, and a beautiful view. With a prompt greeting, we sat ourselves by the window and were welcomed with menus and a smile. I wish I caught the friendly lady bartender's name — she was so kind and attentive! The food was STELLAR. (A male appeared for a while who had a phone conversation and watched the working crew before going outside to linger.... an inactive manager, perhaps?) The crew of three we saw working stayed busy with their time, and made us feel comfortable. We'll definitely return!

We stopped for lunch on our way home. We had a Smashburger and wings. It was great food and great service. Could tell that it would be a awesome time in the summer with live music. We definitely will be back!
