Aziza★★★★★Nice brunch spot with quick service despite the crowd. The Big Breakfast was straightforward but filling. The chicken and waffles were enjoyable, especially the crunchy chicken. The French toast was decent.
Joanne Michelle★★★★★Today was our first visit to River Kitchen and we had a truly lovely time.

Jordan Stokes★★★★★Lovely cafe/restaurant, pleasant indoor/outdoor seating over looking the river, great range of excellent coffee and cabinet food, as well as an fabulous all day breakfast.
Shalaka Parashar★★★★★Awesome location, great service and really yummy food. We got fish and chips and chicken waffles!! Fish was fresh and well cooked, hot sauce was available to go with that! The chicken was also super tender, well seasoned and over all really tasty! Coffee was great too. Bustling with happy guests, this place has its own vibe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
