The restaurant's farmhouse ambience creates a feeling that you are eating a home cooked meal. These homey dishes have been expertly elevated and far exceeded my expectations.
Before this meal, I can't say that CFC (chicken fried chicken) is my first go to at a nice restaurant but this was the best rendition of this comfort food that I have ever had. The golden crumb of the breading was light and crisp and the gravy was excellent. The green bean side was also prepared well and was seasoned nicely. Other members at the table had the special which was a steak with blue cheese topping (not pictured) and stated that their meals were prepared perfectly.
Dessert was the creme brulee which was excellent (sometimes restaurants will over torch the sugar and make it burnt).
Our waiter, Zack, was attentive and helpful and made the dinner that much more enjoyable.
Despite this being the opening of Wuerst Fest and parking was crowded, this restaurant seems to do a good job of monitoring their parking spaces as there were several open spots in their small lot.
I'd definitely go back to this restaurant to try more dishes. Only blip for me is that they do not make cocktails and only sell beer and wine but this is more of a commentary on my own drinking preferences and I did enjoy the wine that we had with dinner.
Ordered the hamburger and it was full of so much flavor! Cranberry Mimosa was nice and refreshing. Will definitely be back.
The reason we spent so much we had 2 appetizers and Mamosa's and 2 plates.
The deviled eggs are the best I've ever had. Maple bacon pickled red onion and a pickle! good 😈🥚!
Great patio and most importantly, dog friendly. Matthew was the best and we had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend the Raeburn Chardonnay, Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Country Salad.
Sitting outside had great views. Chicken Fries Steak and eggs made a great brunch experience. Would love to come back and try their Sunday evening fried chicken event.
Went with the family for Sunday fried chicken dinner and it was delicious! Started with the simple, refreshing salad and then I ate the chicken breast. It was very moist and flavorful. The kids each had 2 pieces of chicken and so did my wife, everyone loved theirs. The chicken breast on the second round wasnt as moist as the first, but the first one was really hard to beat. The mashed potatoes, corn bread, and green beans were all very good. Probably could have skipped the cream corn, but i think it's just a different take than what we are used to. We finished off with ice cream (sans cobbler). All in all, great experience as always. We weren't in a hurry and understand staffing/labor issues, so we didn't mind if we had to wait an extra couple minutes for a refill... Because the place was hopping with the great live music on the outside patio (Poor J Brown trio). Lots of smiles and full bellies, thanks River House crew!
Everything we ordered was amazing!
The chili was fantastic!
The chicken fried chicken was huge!
The farm pasta was great!
The shrimp & grits were tender & creamy!
I would also recommend the deviled eggs & corn fritters as appetizers.
