Reviews for Riverside Family Restaurant in Ottumwa, IA
This is our second visit. We love the home cook meals... Delicious!
Ate here this morning. Sat down fast, got drinks fast then was able to order after a few minutes. Best thing I?ve had so far... each time is the country fried steak. Super big serving, have to take the rest home. Great staff and clean atmosphere. Read more
3 eggs, 3 generous pieces of bacon with a mountain of hash brown and 3 pancakes with real butter for 8.50 can?t beat that! Quick... and friendly service good people. Read more
Stopped in for a late breakfast. Large menu with a lot of selections. Had country fried steak and a couple over easy eggs. ... Those were just fine. The hash browns weren't. Looked like the cook burnt them on one side. They were dark brown almost black. He just stirred the burnt and good remaining potatoes all together. I tried to eat the better white part of it, but gaveup. The service was good. Employees were friendly and accommodating. Read more
The avocado toast was deliciousness to the second power! A wheat toast with a large fresh tomato slice, huge amounts of creamy... avocado, feta cheese, and two sunny side eggs on the side, that I incorporated into my toast. You need to try it! Pat thewaitress was very attentive and kind, as all the rest of the employees have been to us during the last three days that we'vebeen coming. I highly recommend this place! Read more
Hubby and I found this place on Google! (Thanks Google) It was a little busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted and seated... immediately. They have an extensive menu and serve soup daily. We ordered breakfast. I ordered the steak skillet, which wasabsolutely amazing. My hubby got a build you own omelet. We split a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy (only served til 2pm) it isTHE BEST sausage gravy I've ever had!! And the pancakes were phenomenal!! We will definitely be back!!! Read more
No pretence. Riverside does not pretend to be anything other than a solid place for classic dishes done the way you would... expect. The decor is legit retro; the way o like it! Read more
Last time i was here a few weeks ago, the service was slow and the waitress seemed more interested in helping the larger groups... to get herself a better tip than just one or two person tables. The fact they are open for breakfast but cant have dinner hoursuntil friday nights is a little absurd, lets face it, for a family restaurant, you cant go in any evening of the week and getthe food you want. Seems silly to even be open part time. Read more
