Had a pretty good dining experience there this evening. The outdoor seating area is big and almost all of it overlooks the Blackstone River. It's really pretty and they're on OpenTable making the reservation process a breeze. Unfortunately our seatsweren't near the water but we still had a great time. My Mojito $10) didn't have a lot of mint: it was okay but my wife'sCosmo was great. Our appetizer, the mozzarella bursts $10) took forever to come out and were barely warm when they finallyarrived. They were okay, nothing special. Our child's fish and chips however were great and came with a pretty tasty serving oftartar sauce as well as scrumptious fries. The fries were a hit with our table. My steak tip Caesar salad was interesting. Thesteak tips were of good quality and delicious while the actual croutons felt cheap. Why add premium ingredients to low qualitysalad ingredients? Thought that was a bit odd. My wife really enjoyed her blackened chicken Alfredo $19.99) and it was madegluten-free for her which was great although it was under seasoned. One other thing to note is that the tables outside appearto be plywood. There's no coating on them. Seems like a great way to get splinters. A simple coating to seal them would make aworld of difference. Overall we had a good experience here and service was great even though they were slammed with a couple ofbig parties. The views are great and it made for a good evening overall. There's some limited parking but worth the struggle.Just don't miss out on the fries.
What a surprise. first time at falls. Great old mill building right on Blackstone river. Great outdoor large patio right on river edge. Large menu selection. Very good service drinks and food. Lots of parking across street. Nice area. Several other restaurants within a block. Don't be fooled because it's woonsocket.
Oh my goodness!! I was blown away at the service and the views! I felt like I was at a 5star restaurant in New York. It's been a while since I been there and wow is my word. We saw a crane fly in we sat by the water my shrimp tacos were so flavorful but careful they are spicy just ask for the boom boom sauce to be on the side. I also added avocado to mine that is extra. They are on the appetizer menu but I had them as my main corse for lunch they are big!! Definitely worth eating and buying! My mom had a build your own burger and she loved it with the side of thier AMAZING sweet potato fries.

The service was enjoyable, the food was average, and the atmosphere could use some improvement. However, it was a pretty good experience overall. Price per person: $20–30. Food: 4/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 2/5.
**Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Lunch **Price per person:** $10–20 **Food rating:** 4 **Service rating:** 3 **Atmosphere rating:** 4 **Parking:** Plenty of parking available **Parking options:** Free parking lot
The restaurant boasts a remarkable industrial ambiance, offering outstanding food and service at an excellent price. Both the food and service, along with the atmosphere, deserve an impeccable rating of 5.
River Falls is a typical family restaurant that often serves mediocre food, especially during busy times when it seems watered down. Additionally, they contribute to pollution in the Blackstone River by allowing their trash to blow away. Overall, it reflects poorly on the town. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

This restaurant was a huge disappointment. The meals we received were completely different from what we ordered, and we have no intention of returning. They repeatedly served us the wrong dishes.
This restaurant is not what it used to be. I visited on a Saturday night at 5:00 PM, and they had run out of fried clams, prime rib, baked stuffed shrimp, and iced tea. I had to choose something I wasn't really in the mood for. The food I did have was good, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I don’t think I’ll go back, especially since there are better options nearer to Riverside.

Amazing restaurant. Food is really delicious. They have daily specials now. I tried fried Ravioli and baked stuffed Haddock (you must try). It was cooked to perfection. Marinara sauce is homemade, and it taste perfect. Haddock was tender and stuffing was just out if the world. My server was really nice. I truly recommend this restaurant. Seems like recent 1 star reviews are fake (may be someone trying to ruin business, who knows. I will be back next week to grab Lunch Box special.
They have a new chef. The menu is much smaller. It's a 50/50 with the quality of your food. It used to be the best place for steak tips. Now, not so much. Their salads are awesome, as well as their seafood. If they have it. You have to ask the kitchen every time. My 10 year old loves the mac and cheese. It's something that is constantly good. The restaurant is clean and most of the staff is friendly with great service. They have outside dinning on a river which can be relaxing if it's not too hot out. Overall, it's enjoyable and family friendly.
My family went there today for a Father 's Day brunch. The location is a very good one, located on the banks of the Blackstone River. It is an old stone building having outdoor seating, but today was not conducive to eating outdoors. Indoors it 's fine, with industrial style exposed HVAC ducting. There were seven of us in our group. There wasn 't a big crowd. They have an extensive brunch/lunch menu. We all ordered, including three children. The adult beverages were OK, but drinks didn 't arrive together, with some taking much longer to be served. Kids ordered food off the children 's menu, and their food seemed good. But not many of the adults ' meals were. Two chicken dishes were very under-cooked and inedible. One Mexican meal was soaked through with sauce, not very good. Two omelette dishes were dry and almost seemed to be pressed flat. Home fries which accompanied each dish were bone-dry, and seemed to be machine-cut dice-sized pieces. On the other hand, my steak tips and eggs with eggs was good. The steak was cooked as I had ask for. So I was the only adult at the table who left the place happy. Lots of my family 's meals were left on their plates. I don 't like giving bad reviews. Take a look at my review history. But when I give Google a review I calls 'em as I sees 'em. We probably won 't be back. It 's too bad, too, because the atmosphere is terrific.
Extremely disappointed with the lack of communication with management... Made reservations 3 weeks in advance for a party of 10. Was informed after arriving and being seated that this was their 1st weekend serving brunch from 10am-3pm. No option changes allowed!!!! Our reservation was for 1:30pm no one expected to eat breakfast AGAIN . DID ANYONE in the entire establishment think to call to inform people NO
We went to a graduation party in the event room downstairs. Great size for the amount of people that were there.the food was amazing! Drinks were good and the staff were excellent. The atmosphere there is relaxing and the scenery outside is beautiful (considering the area it's in, it was still beautiful and relaxing! We also had a buffet style meal. Tortellini,grilled chicken with cheese, anti pasto , salad and the garlic bread was DELISH!

We have been here before always enjoyed it but this experience was not good. Most of the food came out lukewarm at best. Rice was crunchy. Very long wait (over an hour) for food to be served. Not planning to go back.
Went with a large party on Mother's Day. Some of our food came out cold, some of the basics just weren't very good (pancakes were tough, home fries were reheated and dry), and they were out of at least one menu item (French toast). We typically have good food here, but this day was not up to the usual standard, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. I would still go back, but not on a holiday.
The service was disappointing. Everyone in our group received their meals, except for one person, whose order was apparently overlooked by the waitress. She didn't even apologize when she finally brought it out. I had ordered penne a la vodka, but instead received linguine, which didn't resemble vodka sauce at all and lacked flavor. I definitely won't be returning to this restaurant.
This was my first visit to the restaurant. We had made reservations, but when we got there, we opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't too crowded, and we usually prefer the service at the bar. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. There was only one bartender handling a large horseshoe-shaped bar and also waiting on tables. I ordered the cowboy burger and fries, but both were overcooked and lacking in flavor. My wife had the chicken Oriental salad, which she thought was decent. It's a shame they didn't have more staff, especially for a Saturday night.

Love their Sunday chicken special for $12.99. Most amazing cinnamon rolls for sure! The pasta is better than Wrights farm pasta and I love that you can swap fries for mashed, baked or sweet potato. Updated atmosphere and indoor or outdoor dining is available. Parking isn't great- there is a lot across the street if the few places in front of the building are taken. Its a short walk but involves crossing a busy street- be careful at the cross walk. The service was friendly. They have $1 drink specials for those that enjoy a cold brew. I haven't yet gotten to try the Wednesday specials- two meals with dessert and a drink for $39 but am looking forward to my next visit
I have been wanting to try this place I finally got a chance and it was very good I will definitely go back there again
Only giving five stars because six isn't an option. The service and food and atmosphere were well above five star level. Parry of 7, every part of every dish was excellent. Fish, shrimp, tacos, fries, sweet potatoes fries, wings, Cole slaw, I could go on........only one server working and she was busy, but attentive. Plus we ate on the patio next to the rushing River. We will be back, and we live almost two thousand miles away with no connections to the area.
Oh, my God! I was blown away from the service and the views! I felt like I was in a 5 star restaurant in New York. It's been a while since I was there and where my word is. We saw a crane flying in we sat through the water my shrimp tacos were so tasteful, but careful they are spicy only ask to be the Boom Boom sauce on the side. I've also added avocado, which is extra. They are on the appetizer menu, but I had them as my main corn for lunch they are big!! In any case eat and buy! My mother had built her own burger and she loved it with the side of the casual AMAZING sweet potatoes.
