"This restaurant has been a beloved establishment for years, featuring a charming atmosphere and an outstanding staff. The terrace provides a stunning view of the river, creating a perfect setting for relaxation. Even during the hectic summer season, they make sure every guest is treated with exceptional care. The food is amazing—I highly recommend trying the wings, quesadilla, and the Kater burger. I don’t usually leave reviews on Google, but this place truly deserves it!"

Normally my wife and I love this place. Today we seen a senior bartender berate and belittle a new bartender in front of numerous patrons to the point that the new employee was literally in tears while still serving customers. It made the wholeexperience uncomfortable and awkward. Hopefully someone teaches the senior employee how to treat new staff. View menu

I was incredibly impressed with River Rats from the moment we arrived until we departed. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, the staff kindly informed us that our food might take over an hour, which I appreciated as a thoughtful heads-up. The meal was absolutely worth the wait, and the waitstaff was very attentive throughout our visit. I can't wait to go back!
