What Juan A Cano doesn't like about West River Cafe:
Today I decided to return after several years of not patronizing them. I ordered the ham and cheese club along with their fries. Their club sandwich was such a disappointment... thick chunks of very cold ham. I highly recommend that they slice the ham into thinner slices and double them. The waitress and busboy were attentive and kept returning to fill the water glass. I won't be back there for a while. View all feedback. What Greg likes about West River Cafe:
Had a lovely late lunch here. Had the managers special and girlfriend had the montrose special. Was expecting an average to good traditional diner experience, and got much better then that. The sausage was high quality pork no brown n serve here, and the hashbrowns tasted like fresh grated potatos not frozen. Highly recommend for a cozy neighborhood breakfast. View all feedback.

Sugar shakers are a plus! Piping hot biscuits and gravy were great with two eggs! Service is top notch!

Food has always been delicious so no complaints there, if it was based off the food alone I'd give five stars. Four stars because their drinks are pricey, $4.50...
