I haven't been here in years and I'm sure glad I went back! Fabulous walleye- some of the best I've ever had. Was cooked so well and not a butch of soggy breading, rather just the right amount. Potato was great (thanks Shane for the cottage cheese). Plate was beautiful- just look at the fruit and flower! Great service and walked away with two pints of ice-cream and again- seriously fantastic. Took home the Double Chocolate and the Captain Crunch. This ice cream is made onsite. SO good! Some reviewers say it's expensive here. I say I'd rather pay $35 for an amazing meal than $25 for meh Walleye. Will for sure be back!

We came to Riverside Inn in we went to Riverside Inn for dinner last night. I've been to other restaurants in Cross Lake many times, but haven't had the opportunity to try Riverside inn. I've been missing out!!Teri was our server and she was a pro!! I had the walleye and lobster bisque soup. Both were out of this world! The au gratin potatoes were pretty darn good as well!! I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and will even go so far as to say it is the best in the area! We will definitely recommend and return!!

Not the fanciest place... bit awesome people and terrific food. Their fried chicken is extra special home recipee... great ribs, steak and I had the best split pea soup ever. No room for their home made ice cream, so return trip for that!

This is a typical northern MN restaurant. We had burger, grilled and fried chicken. Fried chicken was good but it was very salty and the breading belongs on fish. The lobster bisque was also good but I don't think that was authentic lobster. Potato casserole was very cheesy and I didn't really like the flavor.

Very good food here! Outdoor deck with three tables so very quiet out there. All shady for dinner but overlooks the river and nice yard.

Went for supper tonight, hubby had the "grilled" chicken sandwich, but the menu description says "broiled". He requested the side salad and no fries. He got the side salad and french fries. We were charged $8. for the side salad of lettuce, and 2 cherry tomatoes. I tried "banh ni" sandwich, requested the lobster bisque soup and no french fries. Received french fries and no soup. They weren't very busy, but waited 50 minutes for our food. Waitress never checked on us. Food tasted like it was microwaved. Our bill for 2 sandwich's, and 2 beers, $61.00!! Not going back.

My first review of Riverside Inn was more than 10 years ago. My husband and I were in town, and I wanted to come back for the lobster bisque to see if it was as good as I remembered. I have to say it did not disappoint!! I did the quarter chicken with the au gratin potatoes and my husband had the Parmesan crusted walleye with the twice bake, both were amazing! The ambience, view of the river, and service from Jolene were as well! Definitely recommend stopping in and if you want something sweet... their homemade ice cream home will not disappoint! We tried the peppermint candy and it is amazing.
