River Village Family Restaurant

Food is excellent, service is quick, portions are large, prices are reasonable. There are many homemade specials daily, like shepherd’s pie and lasagna. Easy access on/off 75. We were there for breakfast and they had several unique and interesting dishes as well as the standards. Great hash browns.

Well friends another restaurant goes in the books. Last Saturday the Dash n Diners went flash back mode. Due to scheduling conflicts, we went back to our old standard and went for breakfast instead of dinner. We chose the River Village family diner 22825 Huron River Dr., Rockwood, MI. Many of us frequent here after church and Ray goes here almost every Sunday with his son. I have had many of the dinner items and the Chicken Potpie is out of this world. I have been known to consume a little food. But this thing is even intimidating for a fluffy like me. And the crust is amazing. (just be careful it comes out lava hot) If you’re feeling ambitious they also rent kayaks. They take you up the river you paddle back down and then you can gorge yourself in home cooked style food. In a past article, I told you the Dash n Diners probably won’t be making that trip. If we got stuck, they might have to call in the coast guard. Not to mention no one would be safe from hijinks if we were on the river. Sorry, I lost my train of thought. Everyone was super impressed with the food we ordered. It was so good if I closed my eyes, I would think I was eating one of my dad’s special Sunday breakfast’s. And the toast was not just your run of the mill Wonder Bread it was the great thick sliced bread. Everyone was super happy with the meals they ordered. A couple of guys ordered the Corn beef hash and they said it was great. I have never had a disappointing meal from this place. And the price for what you get is very reasonable. (Even enough food to make the fluffies happy) Nassar the owner was great. (Every time I have been in here, he is running around doing anything including bussing tables) He was super friendly. We told him we would come back and get our orders, but he brought them out to us instead, even though the restaurant was packed. He had every thing super organized and was so appreciative for us coming out. He told us Massar was the chef, and this guy didn’t miss a thing. Everything was cooked to perfection. (Including my basted eggs which the guys made fun of me for). They are like cavemen. Nassar also suggested we post on Google so we will try it from this point forward.

Great little spot for a meal if you have time. It took quite a while to get our food. We were less than thrilled with the bathroom. My 7 year old couldn't even sit in the toilet comfortably because the door was touching her knees. That's how small it is in there. Make sure you use the restroom before you come.

This place has become a regular place of dining for my family. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food is great! Prices are great!
