Rivers Edge

I took the day off from work to stop at a bunch of places between Saukville and Sheboygan. I left early enough to have breakfast somewhere and the good reviews for Rivers Edge led me there. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese omelette with a side of crispy hash browns and one pancake.I don't know if I've been more impressed by a place that I wasn't sure what to expect at. As of the point where I'm leaving this review, they had 46 other reviews for an average of 4.7 out of 5, which is really good, but most of the pictures of food were from 5+ years ago, so I had a hard time gauging if I would like it.If you like bacon, order the bacon, egg, and cheese omelette. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but this thing was absolutely loaded inside with thick cut bacon. I wasn't asked what kind of toast I wanted, so I assume they only have white toast. The two slices had nice globs of butter in between, so I didn't have to dress them up on my own.The hash browns were spot on. A little bit of flavor from the butter or oil they were cooked in and perfectly crispy like I asked for. I added a little salt and pepper on top and that's all they needed.Like the bacon in the omelette, the pancake was thick, yet managed to be fluffy and have some crispiness near the edge. Honestly, I think this is one of the best pancakes I've ever had. I put a little syrup on it, but I probably didn't need to because even without the syrup it had some sweetness to it.The prices were very reasonable and the portions well sized. There was a small group of construction workers at a corner table that looked close to my age, otherwise all of the customers in this packed restaurant had at least 15 years on me. Not a problem, but it fit in with the old school diner feel of the place. Some of the customers and the waitress were chatting it up like they knew each other, so they've definitely got regulars that stop often. I'm jealous of them; I can't wait to come back.As a note, they are cash only and don't have an ATM on site.

Breakfast was a huge surprise, hand cut bacon, perfect eggs, and crunchy hash browns! You're missing out if you're in the area and haven't had breakfast here. We only had breakfast but would definitely try the rest of the menu considering how much effort was put into breakfast.

Really really bad coffee. I'm worried they need to treat and filter their water. Greasy food. Tough bacon. The service was slow. The place was very busy so they are popular. Just not sure why.

This is a great diner! Friendly, fast service with great food. I've never had a disappointing meal. Cash only!

This is how diners should be run. Everyone's family here. Quality ingredients, fair prices and passion. Bacon is life changing. So is the oatmeal just in a different way.

Excellent food and service, well worth the the visit with the hometown dinner experience. Good food and good company.

Shout out to the whole staff at River's Edge we were just there this morning about 10:30 a.m.. we read some of the reviews that's why we went there . The portion was very large the prices were very reasonable to Ambiance was outstanding we highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast or even lunch

If you are a fan of old style, authentic diners, this is the place to check out. Prices are crazy low, diner itself is clean but clearly a blast from the past, food quality is very high and portion size is generous especially for the money spent. The diner is home to many locals who have been coming for years and are known and greeted by the staff. Very happy to have found this diner on our way to Cedarburg. Drive out of your way a bit and come here.

best bacon and hot chocolate north of the Mississippi river the staff are the absolute nicest And the vibes feel homey

Good atmosphere, delicious pancakes, just don't order "steak". I got my steak breakfast and they serve me a greasy ground beef patty as a "steak". But the rest of the food and service was pretty good.
