If there was a button for 0 stars I would of clicked it. We came here tonight and sat ourself after 15 minutes of waiting. But thats fine. It was the hour and 37 minutes after that, that we waited for food. After being there that long with no food I asked the waitress what is taking so long and she said she would check on it. 10 minutes later, there was still no food so we asked for a check for the drinks and left. Before we left we asked what in the world was taking so long but the only answer I got was it was an hour for food orders..... But..... we were there for almost 2 hours. Not worth it. We didnt have a lot of people either. Just 4 adults and 2 small kids who didnt order food. If your looking to get served in OVER 2 hours and wait, this is the place for you.

Horrible service, great place to ride to and maybe show someone, hey look at this random restaurant out in the middle of the woods. Other then that if you see its packed, keep on rolling. the 7 servers on the floor were too busy making sure exsisting customers had their waters filled and drinks current instead of just acknowledging us. Finally after flagging one down she claims she will find our server "which I think was her anyways" cause she ended up helping us. Decideds to tell me its a hour wait for food, the. The 3rd and final time of me convincing her thats fine, she decides to add on thirty minutes to the wait. No thanks. Check please. Still tipped her 25%. Didnt want to. But my girlfriend prob would of scolded me for it later. Happy wife, happy life!!

Rode the motorcycle there today for lunch. The place was not very busy but the kitchen was very slow. The beer was cold and the building and setting was nice. The food and the service was poor. 50 minutes after ordering our food, we had to asked the waitress about the delay. She informed us that they gave our salad to someone else and were making another. We ordered the 10 piece chicken wings ($10.00) and the Italian chef salad ($14.00). definitely way over priced for the poor quality food and service. I dont mind paying those prices for quality food, but the wings were cold and the salad was thrown together poorly and incomplete based on the menu description, due to being thrown together at the last second, probably by someone else other than the cook.

Went 3 wks ago, they were out of fries, chips, pulled pork, and a few other things. OK, beautiful evening, crowded, I get it (even if you can buy chips next door). Went last night, 5:30 pm sat for a while, no big deal not in a hurry and then was informed the kitchen was so far behind that we can only order appetizers. After an 1.5 hours, we got our greasy appetizers. I just feel like this place has a great atmosphere, good food (when you can get it), but is horribly managed. If its a nice night - cut the menu and make a boat load! If the kitchen can handle a full house - dont sit people. I saw about 10 families get seated, drinks and then told "by the way" no food is being served at 6 pm! Good place to go, nice atmosphere, good food - POOR Management/

This place use to rock but now its nearly impossible to get service properly. My family and I were there Sunday evening and waited a good 20 minutes with NO service but an argument break out behind the bar with an emoloyee who made a fool out of the whole place and especially herself! I will NEVER return for my family and I to hear and witness the psychotic employees who cant handle there job especially I front of customers! This woman literally cussed out another employee and threw papers and money in her face while cussing her out infront of customers including MY FAMILY! She then proceeded to peel out in road rage which concerns me considering we enjoy bycycling through there every other weekend.

First time there, wasnt that busy, waitress was slow but nice. When food first came out sandwich (steak hoagie) was actually cold. Let waitress know and she took it back to have it redone. Came back, seemed hot, but fries were cold so waitress said shed get us fresh fries. After a couple bites of sandwich realized while inside was hot, outside was still cold. Waitress only came to refill from when we waived her down. While food want waitresses fault, service was. Nice spot and people we were with had good food. Might go back but the good better be good for the prices they charge.

We stopped in here for lunch on a Mystery Trip to Ft. Ancient not knowing they didnt open until 4 p.m. It was noon and two nice gentlemen exited the building as we were pulling up. I asked where else we might dine since they were closed and Mr. Mark insisted on fixing something for us since he was just waiting on deliveries. We had wonderful pizza, plentiful soft drinks and an amazing story to tell our friends. Im from Louisiana but will definitely tell everyone to frequent this fabulous place on trips to the Miami Valley! There are still some nice guys left in this world!

I like to frequent biker friendly locations. The reason we road to Oregonia. I was very disappointed in the food. Their menu said their hamburgers were "Deliciously seasoned, fresh Angus on a Kaiser roll" .. NOT EVEN... They were frozen burger patties on a regular bun... Was not seasoned at all.. For a double frozen hamburger and shoe string fries it cost 10 bucks.. Also the beers were 3 bucks each. Needless to say 2 burgers with fries and 4 beers cost 31 dollars. Its a rip off.. I wont waste my time there again...

My husband has been going to River Cafe since 1985. We had our first date there in July of 2014, Thursday night which was Karaoke. We were married October 2015. We both love this place. Its a great place to meet new friends. The people are so much fun. Our friends join us there almost every Thursday even at 7 p.m. The owner is a fantastic person. The place was newly decorated last year. We all think the food is delicious. It is also a beautiful motorcycle ride if you happen to have one.

A great destination for bikers, bicyclists and motorists. The owner/chef has crafted a great menu with lots of choices. Some of the best are the salmon tenders and the biker salad with salmon on top with the balsamic vinaigrette, and the pizzas and calzones are delicious, as well. Yes, all kinds of friendly people come here, that is part of its charm! The service can be slower when it is packed, but the food is worth the wait. This is not the Russian Tea Room.

Too much cigarette smoke! This used to be a favorite place to go, but have been told several times by management that they choose to not enforce the smoking law, even though its offensive to others. Will spend my money someplace else. In response to your reply, first of all a patron shouldnt even have to complain -- you already know they are smoking. The law should be enforced.
