Great pit stop on our way to SW Minnesota! Turkey burger w side salad and River Tots were quite tasty! Didn’t give it 5 stars as they didn’t have a daily soup choice. The outdoor seating and river views are a plus to enjoy an adult beverage. A little tough to find - but worth the search. Friendly staff, dogs and patrons. Can’t wait to stop again.
Local bar with great view of the river. I ordered the house club and my wife had the Reuben special. They have a large selection of alcohol including the bartendres special concoctions. Caitlynn's unnamed drink. The sandwiches were huge. The deep fried cheese curds were home made and delicious.
Waitress was brand new but did a great job for our large-ish group. Fish was tasty and the cheesy potatoes were fiery.
Despite the appearance, the food was really good and the selection of beer, etc was excellent. The option to sit out on the deck (live music was playing), down on the dock or inside made it something for everyone. The spicy shrimp salad was not typical bar food and was done well.
Super impressed with River Rats from the time we sat down until the time we left. They had been busy and had people waiting awhile for food and told us it could be over an hour to get our food which was a nice heads up. Food was well worth the wait. Wait staff was attentive. Looking forward to our next trip.
We had the best time here. Its a place that Anthony Bourdain would visit and deeply enjoy. Comfy seats at the bar, cold beer, friendly people, and fire food. The wings and cheese curds were out of this world. Thanks to all the river rats staff. With love and solidarity, Jake + Denver.
A hole in the wall, typical Wisconsin bar. Great food, terrific service. Got a lot of food for a good price. Just ordered 3 appetizers for dinner and still had leftovers. The tots were so cheesy I thought they were the cheese curds.
Been going here for years and it's a beautiful place with amazing staff! The patio has a view of the river and slips to hangout on. During the summer when they are super busy they still make sure everyone is treated amazing. The food is great and I recommend trying the wings, quesadilla, and hangover burger. I don't do alot of google reviews but definitely worth checking it out.
