River Street Tavern - East Dundee

Everyone enjoyed their meal and we celebrated an unforgettable birthday

My first time here was a great experience overall. I ordered the Ancho Espresso Rubbed Steak and Pommes. The frits were absolutely amazing and the steak had great taste and wort, but was overcooked and therefore hard. I ordered it medium and it came medium well/made. Tina, one of the owners, could not have been more pleasant and understanding. I am eager to come back and try more things on the menu! Oh, and Brownie was delish.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Good wait staff. Everything we have eaten here has been good quality and fresh. Al Pastor tacos and French fries here are recommended as they are very good, while some other items like the farmhouse burger are masterfully constructed but come to the table in need of one liquid condiment to complete its perfection (not a bad thing, i just recommend adding a light layer of bbq sauce to make it exceptional or maybe a light mayo or steak sauce. Whatever your preference on burgers that adds moisture to each bite. . The wings here are just ok, I don't recommend them. They are overpriced and while they do offer both sauces and dry rubs (which I find myself overjoyed to find a good variety of dry rub wings anywhere usually , the dry rub spices cover the wings very lightly and the spices themselves were nothing short of bland. My friends and I found them in need of heaps more volume of spice plus i would recommend still even adding salt as well to satisfy... the wing crispiness of the dry rub variety is spot on though. Some of the menu items are fun to read, but I would never dare to order (like a burger with 6 patties and the special sauce is simple called Animal Sauce . With that said, I believe there are many amazing dishes on the menu to delight your taste buds with. The bar drinks and daily specials can be inspiring. You can tell the chef here truly cares about creating unique and specialized food that is absolutely worth trying.

This is my favorite “go to” restaurant in the area. Their food is great I’ve had the Cuban sandwich (my favorite), salads, wings, and everything I’ve ordered is really flavorful plus their fries are really good as well. I’ve never had a bad experience with service and we probably eat here at least once or twice a month. I do wish their Uber eats app had some additional customization options my wife is a vegetarian, and she loves the patty melt, and burger bowl, but can’t select a black bean patty through the app, so we end up calling in our pick up orders. During the warmer months and due to the pandemic they added outdoor seating really hope they can keep this long term.

Great burgers! Friendly efficient staff and wonderful food. Had a bit of a wait for a table but it was worth it. Reasonable prices and loved the Curd Cobain burger and wings. Highly recommend!
