Reviews for Fabiano's River House Bar & Grill in Portland, MI

The service was great. The pizza was amazing. We love the meat lovers pizza. If you like country music you would enjoy the... atmosphere here. We look forward to coming back and trying more things. I cannot wait until the weather warms up and we can eatout on the patio, the winter time is just a little too cold today. Read more

We just had appetizers and a pizza. The pizza was the best. The pickle chips, bread sticks and pretzel were good as I?d expect.... Our mixed drinks were very weak. Second one I ordered a double and couldn?t taste difference between that and a standard pour,maybe we just looked from out of town. Probably nice sitting outside in the summer but not sure I?d go back for drinks. Read more

My experience with Fabiano's is always the best. My son absolutely loves Christina. She is amazing and so super friendly. He... always gets what he calls The bonus bite he gets chicken Alfredo with fried pickles slices and eat them together lol. Myfavorite is the Olive Burger yummy! Read more

Waitress gave us GREAT service! Coffee constantly filled, gave us more cream before we asked, both my over easy eggs were... perfect (which rarely happens when I order breakfast at any place) The reason for 4 stars? Trying to get our check (very sloweven though they weren't very busy) then we get a digital machine to use which took some time from the waitress (wasn't botheredby it) but our friend paid, got the receipt but the machine still said she owed, then our waitress was involved in the othertable's problem THEN when they finally figured she HAD paid (OK we are ready to leave!!) both women standing there blocking thebooth--I got up prompted my friend to start schooching out to signal she's trying to leave..the whole process took about 15minutes entirely too long to pay! The waitress did give us GREAT service I WOULD return the owner just needs to train the staffon the machines since it is not an efficient system, while 2 waitresses figuring out the problem people were lined up at thedoor waiting to be seated Read more

Only reason it gets a 2 is because the patio on the river was very nice. We opted to sit out there because the inside was very... outdated. Looked like an old bowling alley bar. Cold and dirty feel. Ended up having to sit inside because the live music wasway too loud for the small space outside. Food took a long time and was cold when we got it. Tasted terrible. Hate to give asmall town place a bad review but it was a huge waste of time and money coming here. I'd say it's more of a place for appetizersand alcohol on the river and not for quality food.

We weren't too impressed with the inside so we ate on the patio. Staff seemed annoyed that we weren't drinking alcohol and... ordered food. River view was beautiful. Food portions were good sized and quite tasty. It's just really off putting when you'rebeing rushed, they tried to take half of my food away well before I was done and then when I asked for a box, our server wasrude about it. I know they're short staffed, but they had 3 on the patio and it was such a problem with everything we asked for. Read more

My wife and I ate here yesterday for our first time. Our server was top notch. Personable, friendly and very knowledgeable of... the menu. Her recommendations were on point. There were however a couple problems with our visit, but the level of customerservice went so far beyond, we still left very happy. First, the food took a while. We sat for ten minutes after we finished ourappetizer. When the food came out, my wife cut into her wet burrito and there was meat in it, which she made clear to the serverthat she did not want. The server was apologetic and gracious when we asked to just have it taken off the bill. She went intothe restaurant (we were on the porch) to talk with her manager about what to do. When she came back out she asked if I wouldtake it home and eat it so it didn't get thrown out, which I said of course. Where the customer service went above and beyond,was the manager came out to explain the mix-up which she said was actually her fault and then offered to have the kitchen makemy wife the burrito without meat, and said they would box it up for us to take home free of charge, so we took home two free wetburritos. Needless to say, we left shocked and impressed at the lengths they went to to make sure our first visit would not beour last, and it won't be! ???? Read more

We visited Wednesday (7/6/22) for my nephews birthday and we had a fantastic visit! Our waitress ( I didn't catch her name) was... very friendly and dealt with our gaggle of 4 children so well. We can be a handful, but she treated us great! The birthday boy(4) had a great time. We got a deep dish pizza and loved it. My sister got a taco salad that looked fantastic and she enjoyedvery much.
