The River Restaurant & Lounge

"My family and friends had an excellent time here. There were 21 of us in attendance. The atmosphere was outstanding. (Didn’t seem like a super young crowd.) (My family range was from 38-58) All of our waitresses were excellent! Also, the service I received from Kim over the phone was awesome. I was excited that she had our tables reserved with my name on each table. I absolutely loved that touch. The DJ was good, but Please consider mixing in some OLD SKOOL hip hop. I do like that y’all don’t promote any of the shootem’ up rap songs though. Lastly, y’all gotta get your marketing out there with some videos or something. I couldn’t find any videos of your place. I was praying to God we were gonna have a good time because all I saw were flyers and no videos. My friend Lakeyta suggested the place, so I just brought my family on a whim. Everyone said they had a great time! We’ll be back! Thank you! I’ll be making sure all of my family members write a review on your page. :-)"

"Alrighty! I was here for my friends birthday party, it was my first night ever being at the establishment. My homie got double charged for a boring DJ with a bad attitude, which the manager handled kinda poorly. Second, management got into it with someone who was there for the party but worked for them as well. Again, kinda crazy. To top it off, there was not enough food….like at all. For a first night it was pretty bad. And why is the restaurant not connected to the actual casino??"

"I went to this restaurant on a Sunday and was seated. The waitress immediately told us about the buffet. After she explained the buffet to us she indicated that the buffet was $27.00 a piece with an 18 percent gratuity and we needed to pay NOW! I asked her why do we need to pay now she said she has only been working for two days and those were the rules. I started to leave but my fiancé convinced me otherwise. I asked to speak to the manager to find out why I needed to pay now. The manager said people walk out without paying because they have no security. Now the food. I tried everything and in my opinion the red bean, Mac and cheese was good. The fried chicken was okay but I was really disappointed in the smothered pork chops and turkey wings. Like most reviews they were dry. The gumbo was ok however there were no bowls and spoons. The service and management was responsive to my concerns. Since this is a new restaurant I will give it another try but will go during the week to see if they improved on the concerns I have listed."

"I was a little disappointed, especially for the price I paid to eat food from a small buffet table. Pros: the fish, fried chicken wings, and Turkey wings were excellent. Cons: the Mac n cheese and yams were extremely dry. However, the yams had a good flavor. The collard greens were not that tasty. The cornbread was pretty good. Lastly, the sweet tea should be called, “Unsweetened tea”. Myself and another customer asked for something else to drink. I hope that they will add more entrees to buffet bar and fix some of the other issues. The facility is spacious, but for the price, and not having much of a selection, it’s not worth me returning."

"This is my experience. Your experience may be different. I went in around 11:15pm for take out. I waited about 20 plus minutes (which, in my opinion, wasn't bad). The atmosphere is for an older crowd. The dress code is enforced at their discretion. The energy towards me being their was kind of weird from some of the employees EXCEPT from a male that seemed to be a manager or owner. One took the route behind me to peep what I was doing on my phone. When I received my food, it was handed to me in a take out container as expected BUT without- utensils, napkins, or a bag to put the food in; just in my hand. Though I was offered condiments. pro- food was well cook though I don't like old bay on my fries -Wait times was as expected. -And the patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves"
