Reviews for River Street Tavern in East Dundee, IL
None of the items seemed to be a big hit with our table. We ordered the following: Cheese curds (pictured) Fried pickles... (pictured- definitely not a fan from our table) 2 Nashville Chicken sandwiches A steak sandwich A Cuban sandwich(pictured) Various beer and drinks. I thought it was ok; I believe my table were not fans. The server was nice. One thing I diddislike for cheese curds and fried pickles was the super small portion of the ranch. The smallest portion of dipping ranch forany app I ever received in any restaurant. It was just ok, our first time going there. Read more
We've hosted two parties in their loft space in the past year and both went great. Amazing service and delicious food. Such a... beautiful space too. Becca made the planning and booking process so easy! It's now the first place I think of when anyone asksfor local spaces. Read more
We found this place after our later game was over. It was one of the few places that was serving food after 10pm. I like the... layout and it was clean with plenty of space and lots of TV's. The staff we dealt with were very nice and attentive. Theyseemed to be all younger staff, but honestly the girl who helped us did a great job. The food was really good after ourappetizer we all ended up getting tacos and they were also very good. If we're back in the area we will be back. Read more
We have eaten here many times, and food and service is always top notch! So, when I'm looking for a venue for my son's surprise... party, I took a look at River Street. AM I EVER GLAD I DID! First off, they were the ONLY place that returned my call.Aggravating yes, but not after experiencing River Street's hospitality! This is my first choice go-to from now on! My partyplanner was on top of everything (thank you, Becca!). Very accommodating, even when I changed things last minute! The food wasFANTASTIC (no surprise there) and our bartender really knew her stuff (thank you, Hannah!)!!! Prices were very reasonabletoo! Overall, a great experience! My son had a wonderful party and everyone had a great time! THANK YOU RIVER STREET TAVERN!!! Read more
My first time here was a great experience overall. I ordered the Ancho Espresso Rubbed Steak and fries. The fries were... absolutely amazing and the steak had great flavor and seasoning, but was overcooked and therefore tough. I ordered it medium andit came out medium well/well done. Tina, one of the owners, could not have been more pleasant and understanding. I'm eager tocome back and try more things on the menu! Oh, and the brownie was delish. ???????? Read more
Overall good service and food is not bad, the vibes are different and not as welcoming as you would like. The inside layout is... typical of an old street tavern. Long bar with bathroom in the back opposite the kitchen. The beer selection seems good, a fewsours, iPas and drafts, plus your normal bottle and cans. Burgers, wings, and surprisingly tasty tacos, heard good things on thetacos. Burger is ok and wings even the buffalo has a spicy sauce on it. But overall good. The location is very convenient for awalks, bicycle or plenty of parking too. It is just on the edge of the actual river with many other bars, taverns, eateries andDairy Queen. I had heard many good things and expectations were high. Staff was good and present. Looking forward to return andimprove the score if possible. Read more
Good food. Nice atmosphere. Good wait staff. Everything we have eaten here has been good quality and fresh. Al Pastor tacos and... French fries here are recommended as they are very good, while some other items like the farmhouse burger are masterfullyconstructed but come to the table in need of one liquid condiment to complete its perfection (not a bad thing, i just recommendadding a light layer of bbq sauce to make it exceptional or maybe a light mayo or steak sauce. Whatever your preference onburgers that adds moisture to each bite.). The wings here are just ok, I don't recommend them. They are overpriced and whilethey do offer both sauces and dry rubs (which I find myself overjoyed to find a good variety of dry rub wings anywhere usually),the dry rub spices cover the wings very lightly and the spices themselves were nothing short of bland. My friends and I foundthem in need of heaps more volume of spice plus i would recommend still even adding salt as well to satisfy... the wingcrispiness of the dry rub variety is spot on though. Some of the menu items are fun to read, but I would never dare to order(like a burger with 6 patties and the special sauce is simple called Animal Sauce). With that said, I believe there are manyamazing dishes on the menu to delight your taste buds with. The bar drinks and daily specials can be inspiring. You can tell thechef here truly cares about creating unique and specialized food that is absolutely worth trying. Read more
Can't say enough about this place. Kyle D. was our bartender/server because we like sitting at the bar. Kyle always has a great... attitude and seems to love his job. As with all the staff they pay attention to your needs. Amazing food and service. We willkeep going back there. Read more
