River Port Lounge
4.1 / 5 (66 reviews)

Description

Nestled by the river, this restaurant offers a mix of charming views—think small boats, river barges, and bald eagles—and hearty, well-loved comfort food. Guests praise the flavorful fried chicken, generous burgers, and inventive dishes like catfish fritters and sloppy joes. The buffet, available on some days, delivers decent fare, though some find it limited and the salad bar lacking. While the service can be friendly, it’s occasionally slow and understaffed. The ambiance divides opinion: some appreciate the rustic river setting, while others are put off by cluttered decor and a less-than-inviting entrance. Overall, a spot worth a try for food lovers.

Food was good and the atmosphere too. Who doesn't like watching the small boats, river barges and bald eagles out the windows. The only thing that was off was they possibly need a second waitress as she was only able to come to our table twice. Once toplace our order (buffet) and once to refill glasses.

Some of the best tasting fried chicken. Pieces were smaller than they used to be, but so very good! Burgers were huge (thick) and looked delicious. The small tenderloin was big and looked good. Fish looked good. Packaged tartar sauce. I'd make it homemade and play it up big time to go with the river theme. Don't know if that's economical though. Food is good enough that thisplace should be packed every night.

Disappointed that it was a buffet with fried foods. No other menu option. Not very clean inside. River view is deceiving. It's an old building by the river wall so nothing picturesque. One and done for me.

Only had one waitress so service was a bit slow. Food was good, tenderloin was great!

We waited 30 minutes to get waited on. The waitress took our order out of order, she was rude to my Grandson (5 years old). We waited another 50 minutes for our food, then gave up and left. I'm not sure what the problem was because they were not that busy. Dont waste your time or money. The place is a joke!
