Experience Through Their Eyes

OMG! The Hungry Man 6 egg loaded omelette, biscuits & gravy, toast and hashbrowns meal was awesome. $16.95 for two people to split is a great deal. We both had leftovers. Service was great too.

I went out to breakfast with a group of business owners in Croswell. When I opened the door I was immediately greeted by a restaurant staffer who greeted me and was told to sit wherever I would like. We pushed together some tables in the back for our group and had an absolutely amazing time. I loved the small town feel of the restaurant. I spent the first half of my meal writing home about my experience with my letter starting: Dear Mom, ....... you see it in my picture. The service was wonderful. I spoke about the atmosphere and the company the things I got to learn in this safe space all due to them allowing us to have a breakfast there and some coffee and great service. The food was great. It was all super hot. I got the country fried steak with eggs, side of pancake and toast. I could not even finish my steak the portion was absolutely massive. I dont know if I have ever been able to not finish my steak. I will encourage others to find the good in these places not just the food, but the atmosphere, the energy the staff brings and what you could get done in their space if really treated well. I know for us, my group and the folks at my table our lives have been changed forever but Heather providing us a safe space to meet and exchange ideas and provide us with a great experience. We will not only be back but will encourage others to find what they are missing at the Riverside. Dano

Everyone at Riverside is extremely nice and the service is always fantastic! The owner is such a sweet guy & supports our local theatre program since it is self funded. He provided pizza before one of their shows. It was amazing, as always! Reasonably priced too, which is a bonus! We love Riverside!

We are huge fans of riverside! The service is always amazing and friendly. We have a toddler, and they've always been super kind to all of us as a family even going the extra mile to provide activities for our son while waiting for our food. On that note, the food is always top tier and at a reasonable price! My husband LOVES the grinders with the fresh baked bread, I'm a love of their baskets of gold. It's so nice to be able to find a restaurant close by with good food and service! Will always recommend!

We stopped here because it was near our camp grounds and honestly the food did not disappoint! We ordered the seafood basket with cod and roast beef dinner. The food was great, service was excellent as they accommodated our needs. They were extremely friendly and hospitable! The roast beef and gravy tasted home made and the seafood was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back if we camp here again.

1st. Time here, & highly impressed! Coming from the big city of Lakeland, Florida. Don't judge place by the outside or inside but the customer service & food is outstanding. Our waitress named Carrie was awesome. She kept drinks full & was onto of everything, Order was all correct. Carrie had smiled & and gave us a warm greeting. I have Celiac & and expressed it to Carrie that it has to be made gluten-free, & they knew how & all was made with love without any cross-contamination. I had ordered the smothered chicken entree with a loaded baked potato with butter cheese bacon bits and sour cream for side I had the coleslaw that was all gluten free as well, My hubby ordered the bacon burger he said it was awesome and we definitely will return. We highly recommend this place to anybody.
