Riverview Tavern - Algonquin

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was extremely overcooked, the cream for coffee was curdled, they used vegetable oil spread instead of real butter for the baked potato, and the salt and pepper came in tiny packets. I will not be returning.

While visiting family in the area, we decided to dine at the Riverview Restaurant Tavern in Algonquin. We were pleased with our experience! Our server, Carol, was attentive and ensured we had a great time. We ordered Cream of Chicken and Rice soup, a fresh salad with homemade garlic dressing, Barbecue Pizza, and a thin crust pizza with sausage, green olives, and hot giardiniera. The soups were delicious and brought back nostalgic memories. The pizzas were tasty and served hot from the oven. For dessert, we enjoyed a scrumptious carrot cake with a fresh taste and perfectly balanced cream cheese frosting. We had plenty of leftovers to take home and are looking forward to returning to the Riverview Restaurant Tavern on our next visit to the area.

SUNDAY broasted chicken was excellent such a bargain. Carol was our server... she is a great gal! She double checks everything to make certain everything is ???? as ordered ... it's very easy to leave her a generous tip!

We go there for the pizza. Food is always good. We are going to quit doing dine in. Service is slow and not attentive. Felt like dining area of restaurant could have been cleaner.

Our waitress Carol was fantastic! The food was delicious - the fish had a crispy batter and was a generous portion. The river monster sandwich with sweet peppers and au jus will leave you wanting more. Highly recommend!
