River Cafe & Bar 2826 Thatcher Avenue, River Grove, IL 60171

"Good food, good service, had a descent experience. Had vesuvio wings, they were pretty good. Cooked well"

"This was for a 65 yr. high school reunion. Although we didn't have enough people to have a private room, they set us up in such a way that it felt like we were in a private room. They made sure there was always fresh pizza and salad."

"Walking in, it seems like a old neighborhood restaurant that doesn't seem would be all that interesting. Where the decor is lacks a cohesive personality, the staff and food absolutely make up for it. We walked in and were told we could sit anywhere, it was a slow night in the dining room. Our server Bella brought water and answered a few questions. She was very pleasant and was always available, but gave us space. Tony while delivering food to another table, saw us eyeing what he had and came back to give us some info on it. When we got the food we were totally sold. I'm not a huge fried Mac and Cheese ball fan, but they actually tasted like my homemade Mac and Cheese lightly fried, and was amazingly fresh and delicious. One kid loved the angel hair with vodka sauce (which I tasted and agreed), the other had a burger that she thought was great. Wife had chicken marsala, and was pleased, and I had a panzerotti which I forced myself to eat only half of, so that I could enjoy the impending dessert. A skillet cookie. It did not disappoint, but definitely disappeared. I can imagine this becoming one of our old neighborhood favorites for years to come."

"Such a great place, they have it all. Great dinner options, good drinks, slots & amazing staff!! What more could you ask for"

"It was very crowded for Thursday night I guess because of the covid and that the most of the business are closed for dine in . So finding this place open was a gem. However I'd appreciate if the waiter would wear a mask as many people at the table noticed that and didn't feel comfortable. Food Is average and okay. Nothing special."
