River Rail Bar & Banquet Hall

My wife and I stopped on the way back from a road trip at this restaurant we saw. The bar service was great at the bar. Seated at the booths, the service, or lack of was terrible. Ordered 2 PC chicken/fries & the beef tips with mashed potatoes, special of the day. Advertised either potatoes or noodles, but the waitress forgot to mention no noodles for today's special. 20 min. later, she came back and asked us if we needed something, and we asked for water. 20 minutes after that, we were told it would be 2 more minutes and then 15 minutes later, almost an hour waiting, our food arrived and we never saw our waitress again.(Did she forget to put our order in??? The place was not a busy Thursday) She never came back to see how everything was, which we could have asked for the coleslaw she forgot to bring, and a refill on some water. Another waitress came and asked if we needed boxes. 10 minutes later our bill arrived and the waitress took our money, came back and couldn't clean our table off fast enough, which was the most we saw her all night, which was over an hour! Needless to say, don't bother stopping, wasting your time or money to a place, which doesn't care about all their customers, except for locals. There are many more restaurants who want customers, who provide great service & food to offer!

We like to go there for the chicken so we were happy to see they were open on Memorial Day. Best chicken you ever had and all you can eat too. Comes with mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing.Delicious!

The food and atmosphere were great. The gluten-free menu is a plus. Only critic that French fries are not gkuten free if fried in the same oil as other non gluten foods. Service was slow. They were busy it was during the week. The sturgeon are spawning right around the corner from them. Need more staff. Not there fault. It's just the was it is now a days. Definitely worth the wait. Food was great!

Great Monday all-you-can-eat chicken deal for $10. Chicken is delicious and sides are also great and plenty.

Food and service was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!

went for easter brunch and they were very busy with larger groups like mine and handled it very well-AND with only 7 staff members including bar, server and kitchen- food was awesome- Thank you for being open on Easter!

The food was OK. There weren't hardly any people eating in there and it took a while to get our food. The chicken was OK, not a ton of flavor, fries and coleslaw were great. They forgot my bread and brought it later, then I noticed they also forgot my coleslaw so I didn't get it until I was almost finished. However out waitress was very nice and apologetic. I'm sure they're short staffed like everyone else. For the price it wasn't terrible but could have been better.

This was the first time here since it was sold. Very disappointed in the food. Ordered a to go order. The haddock was very dry and no flavor. It seemed like the meal was reheated in a microwave. It definitely wasn't prepared fresh. We had to wait for our one to go order for a long time. It wasn't very busy at all! Then after I ordered drinks and had my credit card laying on the bar the whole time, I was told they don't expect credit cards. Good thing I had enough cash at the time. But if I would have known how bad the meal was going to be I would have just paid for our drinks and just left. Very disappointed! Regardless to say we won't be eating there again even though we live close.

I've never been here before. It totally exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. The staff was wonderful. Definitely will be returning for more great food.

Great service! Quality draft beer offerings. Clean and welcoming establishment.

1st visit in 25 years. Could not be more happily surprised. Things have changed for the better over the years. We had a party of 8 and had great service. We will be back.

7 dollar all you can eat chicken dinner with all the fixings. A great deal and very good. Drinks a little pricey at 6 dollars.

We have eaten here In the past before the new management. Were very surprised that they don't accept credit cards or checks, cash only. The menu prices have increased $2-4 per item on Friday night fish, with no salad bar. The meals were below average, with the exception of their normal very fresh bread. Not many patrons in the bar, other local establishments were very full when we ate at 5:00. Will have to think twice before coming back to eat.

We ordered a short and a tall bloody mary. Not great tasting but whatever. We get our bill and both bloody Mary's are same price. (Priced for talls). We asked about it and they claim they have no way to charge them different prices. Also had breakfast. Was ok but recommend the diner in town istead- way better.

Ate at the River Rail tonight before a Friday night football game so it was busy but the staff was great and the food was totally worth the wait. We live an hour away but will be making the drive more often to eat here.
