Riverview Restaurant & Tavern 1320 South Main Street, Algonquin, IL 60102

"My wife and I have been going there the past 3 years. The food has always been great!! The staff is always great! Busy sometimes, but Great nonetheless. The Friday fish fry is awesome"

"Ok.. I would have given 3.5 starts but that's not an option lol! My hubby has lived in the area all his life..me for 38 yrs. This is the second time we've been here. Years ago they used to have a small place across from Port Edwards.. now they have a bigger place on Main st./ route 31. The atmosphere wasn't bad.. I don't mind hearing people talking, laughing and having a good time. Its laid back..I enjoyed seeing all the old photographs on the walls. The decor definitely needs updated. At first we almost left, we walked in..went into the restaurant area.. sign said talk to the bartender for service. then the bar.. no one anywhere. But a young lady came out and said to sit anywhere we wanted. She is very friendly and a hard worker!! Just her tending the bar and waitressing!! She did a fabulous job. Now onto the food. I ordered all you can eat fish..it was 14.95.. came with coleslaw.. tarter sauce and your choice of potatoe. I chose baked..my fish was good..a little greasy but still good.. I wish the coleslaw was in a bigger container. The biggest thing was my potatoe..its supposed to be hot..it was lukewarm..barley melted my butter! Hubby ordered the bbq ribs.. let's start with the good..very tender, fall of the bone..moist.. a very good bbq sauce..tasty. Now..the not so good.. these were warm..not hot. Had they been hot with a little more char on them..they would have been extremely good. He did get the cream of chicken rice soup..he said it was good.The meal it's self was warm..his baked potatoe didn't even melt the butter. He was a bit bummed about it being just warmed. Would we go back again..sure. I'll try something else. All in all..it wasn't a bad meal."

"Feels like the best local supper clubs in WI we love to go to up north! Amazing comfort food with large portions. LESS than $15 for turkey dinner in June..pic is the leftovers I took home! Mixed drinks start at $6!!"

"During the week I stopped by Riverview and ordered a pizza. I ordered a sausage pizza. The pizza had a very thin crust and the outer pieces were nice and crispy. The pizza had a lot of sauce and the sauce was thick and extremely sweet. This pizza had giant chunks of juicy Italian sausage with just the right amount of fennel. Between the sausage and the extremely sweet sauce it was hard to taste the cheese at all. If you like an extremely sweet sauce this is the place for you. Not a bad place if you find yourself in the area."

"This place is a must try! The food was incredible. I had the cheese fry and artichoke app both were very good. The server Cody made all the recommendations for the food and it was all delicious. The chicken was everything you hear and read. The clazone/panzaninni was giant! Cody said it was as big as an NFL football and he wasn't kidding. Portions are massive for the price."
