Rivercrest Family Dining

Great breakfast place. I love their biscuits and gravy. The staff is super friendly and will fix your order if anything is wrong. Rivercrest has been around forever and it's because they are consistent with their food and service. Ambiance is family friendly.

Has it been 7 years since I wrote my last review for Rivercrest? Last time was pot roast over noodles. My latest review is for handmade Swedish Meatballs over Noodles.A local diner for me, this Mom and Pop restaurant has been a favorite of mine for decades. With plenty of parking outside in their private lot, they also have plenty of seating inside, as well.The reason I like visiting Rivercrest is that they have consistently good food at reasonable prices. The waitstaff is very efficient in taking orders, delivering the food, and removing dishes. I find the seating arrangement is ample and the tabletops are always clean.The menu has a variety of offerings and there is sure to be something to appeal to the casual patron diner. There are daily specials and weekend specials, so you can dine anytime they are open and eat for less. They also offer seniors specials in their regular menu.If you are looking for a good meal with great prices, one that has ample portions (where you might have to take some home for another meal), Rivercrest Family Dining is just that place.Located in a small strip mall set back off of Harper Avenue, they are a few short blocks north of Metro Parkway/16 Mile Road.I recommend!

We were visiting from the west side of Michigan Labor Day weekend and read the reviews so we decided to have dinner here...they did not disappoint! My husband is extremely picky about his fish and he ordered the Walleye dinner, he ate the whole dinner and was impressed with the how the fish dinner was made. I had the Hawaiian Chicken dinner which was also amazing. The staff was attentive and the food was served rather quickly. We are going back for breakfast before we begin our trip back home.

Veterans Day 11-11-2022 lunch with 57 Marines and veterans. An annual gathering of military veterans to reflect on their service and sacrifice for this great country. as it was time to pay for the meals for all these great hero's the owner of the restaurant paid for all the meals. no charge for these hero's. the owner made all the meals and didn't charge a single soul. What a selfless act on the behalf of the owner and the employees of River Crest restaurant. Thank you River Crest owner and employees for the great gesture and service. Sincerely Robert E.

I am from California and living in Las Vegas. Decided to come by this diner while visiting a friend. Right when I walked in, I was greeted to show acknowledgement, which is great. The waitresses were very helpful. One recommended the almond crusted chicken salad. I appreciated the fact that she was very honest with what she like and didn't like. I chose what was recommended by the waitresses. Italian wedding soup - meatballs, spinach and cabbage. Warm and comforting. A bit on the saltier side but I didn't mind it compared to other places where they had too much salt. Topped with oyster crackers to give it a nice crunch. Almond crusted chicken salad - The chicken was surprisingly very crispy and moist! Most places make their chicken dry and soggy crust but this was not the case. The strawberries and lettuce were fresh. The side of pita bread was toasty. I had to stop myself from over eating. I asked for poppy seed dressing on the side so I can dip instead. Coconut cream pie w/ vanilla ice cream a la mode - When I first took a bite I was a bit taken back. The texture was like a gel texture and I wasn't sure if it was from the white top or bottom. I then realized that it was the first time I had tried REAL meringue! Places I had tried before like Marie Calendar's or fast food pies did not taste like this. It was more like a whipped cream than a meringue texture. I am happy that I tried this pie. It was so good. I made myself stop eating. Great friendly service. Great food. Thank you for the hospitality!

Love this restaurant and the staff. The food is definitely homemade. Always greeted with a smile and friendly words by all the waitresses and other staff members including the owner himself!!Cannot go wrong here. One of the best beef stroganoff dinners we've ever had. Also the chicken and pea salad is wonderful. A must try!!

My wife and I were driving down Harper and saw this place and decided to stop in for dinner. There were a lot of cars there so we figured it must be pretty good. We figured wrong. Maybe, possibly we caught them on a bad day. First they got my wife's order wrong. She was assisted by the waitress to choose a chicken pita and fries. What she got was a lamb gyros and fries. We let them know it was wrong but my wife was hungry land didn't want to wait. They did offer to make it right. I ordered the chicken kabobs and fries. The menus said that it came with an "orange honey" glaze on it. It was orange marmalade. Absolutely terrible. The worst meal that I ever paid for and I have had some bad food. This was the worst. The fries were okay but I will bet that they fill up the Heinz ketchup bottles with cheap stuff. The bottle was old and peeling. Not good. The owner or manager came by. He looked like a bum. Not shaved and dirty looking. He asked how the food was and my wife said the gyro was okay. I let him know that I wasn't a fan of the orange honey. I said it tasted like orange marmalade. He verified that it was. He said that everybody liked it. No possible way. The service Beas pleasant even though they got the order wrong. This place deserves 0 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service. That make one his a 1 star visit. I will never go back there. There are much better places to go. I hate to say it but the chain restaurants are a better value and better food. We could have ate pretty much anywhere else for the $32.47 before tip. It really hurts to give a review like this for a local business.

Awesome food and service and very clean I will be going back soon to enjoy a great lunch

My husband and I found this little gem about 15 years ago. We love the food and the people all the way from the cooks to the servers and greeters make you feel like "home"! We have taken many visitors here and they have enjoyed the family fun atmosphere. A great place to take children because of this!! We enjoy seeing familiar faces like the "bikers" who are in there quite often as a familiar stop on their voyages! The entire family welcomes you with open arms and big smiles. We have never had anything we have not liked here. They have daily specials and their regular menu leaves nothing to be desired. Prices are comparable to any other family restaurant around. Try this place out and tell them Jerry and Chris sent you!!!

I ended up here on Valentine's Day with my parents on our way to an event for after the place, we were intending to go with the closed. What a lucky turn of events! Their daily specials menu was huge as was their regular menu and they also serve breakfast 24/7. To top it off we enjoyed 2 hot fudge cream puffs which were delicious! This is a hidden little gem in the back of a plaza that could be easily overlooked. It was easy to tell that this was a family owned business, and everyone cared not only about the food, but about the service!
