"I hate to give River Grille such an average rating, but here is my take. Chatham, NJ, does not have a whole lot of selection when it comes to dining. There are some great places and some not so great places. In my opinion, River Grille slides right in the middle. For starters, it’s a great neighborhood bar, seems very fun and intimate. They have plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. The only bad part was the amount of flies outside.. I had to constantly be vigilant and karate chop flies away from my fries. I heard the French onion soup was good here, which is what drew me to try their food. I’ll be honest, it was good, but not what I expected a bit too liquidy, not as creamy. The blue cheese burger (forgot the name) really lacked on flavor and salt.. I had to squeeze every drop off ketchup out of the packet to give the burger some flavor. Otherwise, the wings were ok standard, nothing special. My friend got red wine, which tasted very dilute. Overall, food wasn’t great, but the vibes and service were good no complaints there."
