Riverside Brewery and Restaurant

A party of four of us ate here on a Friday evening. We were greeted kindly when we walked in and asked if we had made reservations, which we had. We were early so we sat at the cozy bar which is in a horse shoe shape, this makes for easy conversation. The bartender and locals were all very friendly and welcoming as we waited for our table. My husband had a craft beer and I had a glass of wine, which were both good. We then went downstairs to a nice dining area with an additional bar, where we were seated at a table for four. Our waitress, Judy, was very friendly and on top of things, with getting our orders placed and filling drink orders. Judy was very attentive and her service was exceptional. All four of us ordered some form of the fish fry, which we all enjoyed very much. I myself had the 2 piece baked, with baked potato. I had more fish than I could eat, the fish was delicious, with a tasty seasoning and butter. The bread that came with it was a delicious thick piece of marbled rye. The coleslaw was a generous portion and was creamy, crunchy and very tasty. Everyone in our party stated how much they enjoyed their meal. Two in our party had the fried cod and said it was also very good.One person had the potato pancakes with their meal and said they were very good. I would recommend Riverside Brewery and Restaurant to everyone.

The Riverside Brewery is a dependable, no-frills restaurant in West Bend. It has a decently cozy ambience, however we went at 11 am for lunch and I think we were the only ones in the whole restaurant so the energy was low/quiet, but at least we had no problem hearing each other haha. We were seated in their lower level with a river view which was nice and they still had their pretty Christmas decor up. We started with Mimosas and a large pretzel to share. The mimosas were OK, I've had better but they were drinkable. The Pretzel was great! Their cheese dip and rootbeer mustard were both delicious and the pretzel was extra soft & hot - would recommend! Most of the table went with a soup/salad lunch combo which is a very nice, cost-effective offering. I opted for the buffalo chicken wrap w/a side salad. The side salad dressing was a house made cherry balsamic that was very tasty. The wrap was also OK, i've had better buffalo chicken wraps. I think it would be better if they'd make it crispy vs. grilled. Last but not least, my sister was celebrating her 40th birthday and they brought out a free birthday sunday which was a really sweet offering. Our server was attentive & sweet and patient wtih us as we chatted a lot and took awhile to order & lingered after eating. Overall, we will certainly go back!

Food was fantastic. AService phenomenal! AAmbiance is ok inside. The outdoor seating is super cute!!

We had arrived in West Bend after an all day ride through Illinois and to our final destination here in Wisconsin - the last 200 miles being in rain, and falling temperatures near the end. We were soaked, cold, and hungry. After a fresh dry set of clothes we decided to find a place to eat. I discovered this place on Yelp. It sounded good so we decided to go. It was still raining so I found us an Uber ride and away we went. I thought this place was pretty cool because of several things. Once we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile; seating was down the stairs to a large open room with a long bar and a multitude of tables and seats; the decor was a lot of wood and it made me feel immediately comfortable. A great start!Our server was Jadye. She was very polite, friendly and helpful. She explained the specials, and the different drinks. When I inquired about an amber ale she let me try their "Main Street Amber Ale". It was a winner and so that was my chosen drink of the night. For my meal I ordered their wings - 6 Mango Habanero and 6 Thai Chili. We also split some beer battered cheese curds. Everything was delicious - with a special shout out to Wisconsin cheese curds! I had never had cheese curds before and these were spectacular!! Jayde checked on us throughout our meal and when she learned that we had ridden from Florida to Milwaukee for HD's 120th Homecoming she offered some great suggestions we might like to check out. Excellent wings, amazing cheese curds, great drinks, superb service, and comfortable surroundings made for a very enjoyable time to finish a long day. Check this place out!

After a nice visit to MOWA I ended up at Riverside Brewery and Restaurant and bellied up to the bar for service. This seems like a popular place in West Bend, and I enjoyed my visit. Service at the bar was pretty good, and my sandwich that was like a Philly Steak on a hoagie with peppers and mushrooms was good. I'm a big fan of craft beer, so I built a flight. There are a lot of style offerings here, some were great some were just off the mark. I did like the Veteran-focused names and the brewmaster is indeed a Veteran, thank you. Definitely stop in if you're in the area, but not a beer destination.

Met up with some friends for a New Year's Eve dinner at this cool little spot. Walked in and headed straight to the bar as we arrived before them. We checked in on Yelp and got a free 10 ounce craft beer of choice. Beers are great German tastings brews.We were sat downstairs and our waitress was very nice and informative.Tour of Riverside: this dish is great 3 of their signature items in one entree! 5 oz. cut of Prime rib, 1/3 rack of fall-off-the-bone ribs, and five garlic butter shrimp. The only thing I didn't care for on this particular dish were the unseasoned green beans, other than that everything else is cooked to perfection. I got mine with the soup and picked the beer cheese soup. Thick, bold flavor. This is a nice place to visit and we plan on returning with another group to explore more options.

Loved the bruschetta! Service was great! It was nice to sit on the patio by the river!

Wonderful staff. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the Saturday Night Special of Prime Rib. Soup was amazing. We had tried the Beer Cheese and the French Onion. Both were delicious. Ambiance was great. Tried their own Root Beer and was very impressed. Lovely evening we had.

They have a great menu with several tasty items to choose from. Wait, Staff is outstanding, and the location is great for us at West Bend.

We had a large group of people. I understand that a large group of people can be very overwhelming and frustrating. I have been out with large groups many many times before, and I have never had a server make comments like Judy did. It first started when we come downstairs was Judy pushing the tables together so aggressively that the ketchup flew off of them.... Which is unacceptable in my opinion, but after we offered to help, she made comments like 'I can do it. I don't want your help.'I attempted to go upstairs to order drinks because I didn't know where Judy had gone and another server was walking downstairs at the same time and told me to just go sit down and we can order with Judy. Another family from our team joined us after we were seated and instead of them being able to sit with us, Judy said 'I think we have enough at this table, you can sit over there.' And gestured to a table near us. Her rude behavior continued when we were ordering and I suggested that we order by Jersey number. We have done that many times. In fact, every time we go out with the team, that's what we do. She looked at me and said 'Is it so hard for you to just order as a family? Can you do that? Or is it really that hard?' I was shocked. The entire table of adults were shocked. I have never had a server be so rude! On the way out, I told the bartender that Judy was rude as fuck. Her response to me was to laugh and say yeah ok I'll pass the information along. I am not sure if you're going to do anything about it, but I can assure you, we won't be back if Judy is still there.
