We really liked this place, but everyone had to wait over an hour for their food. They offer a nice variety of bar food and also a huge menu of “adult” teas. We had the ArniePalmer and the Hawaiian. Everyone that tried a flavor loved them. They have a cool inside bar area as well as a great outside space on the water. Our wait staff was friendly and definately over worked. The onion rings are yummy!

We drove up looking forward to returning here. It was a favorite of ours last summer due to the view, service, and quality of great food. Unfortunately, the menu has changed from glam to dram. “On the River” might as well be “Off the Interstate” aside for the still exceptional service from Lizzy this time. Truth be told, we didn’t order anything after reviewing the disappointing dive bar food menu as we didn’t want to waste our last meal on vacation on mozzarella sticks and anything that starts with “Italian” as a menu item yet no fish.

My friends and I came from Indiana for a weekend trip and found this awesome little tavern. And it was the coolest atmosphere. We had an amazing waitress who was so quick to serve and so kind! The owner was absolutely amazing considering hearing some locals yell at him for “bad service” and we took him aside to make sure he knew that we have enjoyed our time immensely. If you need a cool hang out spot with great food and drinks THIS IS THE PLACE.

The $1.00 wings on Thursday are some of the best in town! You can order 6 per flavor and they have a great variety of choices. During the summer, this is a perfect spot to pull up from the water or land and grab a bite to eat.

We ordered the Italian chicken and Italian beef sandwich. The Italian chicken didn’t taste the marinade or garlic bun. And there were no peppers on it.

We read the reviews and decided to go anyway as we wanted to eat on the water. Nice place and great potential but quality of food and overall service is poor. Waitress and floor staff were great but the kitchen is mismanaged. Food came out in waves and burgers over cooked. Fries came out 20 minutes after burgers. Menu selection is very limited. If you want to come out for beers it’s a good place but go somewhere else for food

Looks like a nice place but no staff. Wanted to get some dinner but waited for service with no luck. Had to walk around to find a waiter but they were leaving as their shift was ending and they were only serving appetizers. Won’t be coming back here, at least not late.

Older crowd on the Sunday that we went but they did have live music and sitting by the water and watching all the boats coming and going was cool.

Kate, Brian and Rob were great. The food and drinks were awesome. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best. The drinks were great and a huge drink selection to pick from. We sat outside on the patio and was very comfortable. We will definitely be back.
