Riverside Cafe

Some of the worst food I've eaten in a long time. Cod special tasted exactly like those frozen fish patties from the store. Made me feel nauseous after eating. The chili cheese fries did not taste like homemade chili as well. Looked like something from a can or hormel. Burger and fries were okay but hard to mess up. Otherwise, the restaurant was really cool. Right on the river with a tree through the center of the building.

When Glenda and I do the tourist thing, every meal is on the patio if the heat allows it. Today was too hot so inside by the huge windows will work! Melissa, our waitperson was a doll. She waited on us, entertained us, charmed us, you name it! Glenda did the Cheesy Jane cheeseburger and onion strings. Burger great, onion strings ok. I did the Oklahoma Po' Boy with fries. The catfish poboy was great, but the French fries were the best I've ever had! We both slammed on the fries. I asked the lady up front about the fries. She said my husband is the cook. His seasoning. I guess I'll never know! Loved this place and the patio is a must when it cools down. If you ever make it to the Riverside Cafe, get the fries!

Absolutely phenomenal. I got the Okie burger hubs got the jalapeño burger. The environment was so peaceful. The food was everything highly recommended if you've never been there and will be coming back!

We ended up at this restaurant after hiking Mountain Scott earlier in the day. They had a really nice patio and allowed us to bring our dog to sit outside which was helpful. The service was really good and so was the food. The burgers were delicious and the fried okra was legit and tasted homemade! It was a beautiful day so sitting on the patio next to the river was super nice. If you're down here visiting I recommend eating here!

Fun to tryWhere else can you see a live tree growing through the middle of the restaurant, or sit and watch ducks, and yes, fish swimming in the water below?This place is nice, and not too loud for sound-sensitive children. For wheelchair users, they have a wonderful outside where you won't feel crowded and can enjoy great food. ..We've eaten here several times. It's our go-to place since they revamped the old plantation. (just too sterile and devoid of feeling. And way too noisy)The food is wonderful. It's fun sitting while waiting. And, considering there is a swim area just down the street--what nor could you ask?.

Not my favorite place to eat at in Medicine Park.The location along the river and the view from the deck is nice on a warm day. I appreciate that they allow dogs outside. However, they just serve fried greasy food - nothing special or over-the-top. If you are looking for a basic bite to eat with a cold beer I would suggest this place, but if you're looking for a fancier dining experience I would go elsewhere.For no more than we ordered/needed during our visit, it felt like we were here forever because the service was slow. The spicy cheese curds were just regular curds with a ton of cayenne pepper added to the batter. The french fries were good, but my burger was rather bland. My husband's chicken fried chicken was overcooked and the breading slid right off.Overall, it was just okay and I'm not sure I would return.

Just moved to town and discovered medicine park! This little area was such a breath of fresh air compared to Lawton itself. We decided to give Riverside a try and I'm so glad we did. The service was amazing, and each person we had an interaction with was so friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Even the indoor seating has a great view of the water where you can watch the ducks and turtles swim around. And lastly, the food! It was truly some of the best I've had in a very long time. I highly recommend the baked potato salad as a side, I could eat a bowl full of that stuff, no jokeNeedless to say, this is our new favorite place, and we can't wait to come back

Love coming here! The views are beautiful and they are so sweet and helpful. The food is delicious and hits the spot every time!!

New Years Eve getaway and being the 1st of January we had little options for dinner. I ordered chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli. First, instant potatoes, horrible, second broccoli tasted like water. Waitress did not come back to offer refills on drinks. Beautiful scenery but food was subpar. Had high hopes, but should have gone to the Plantation for dinner.

I ordered this burger last year and was very happy to return to Medicine Park so I could eat it again. Okie Burger - cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, bacon, and those onion straws - delicious! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We sat in a booth overlooking the Bath Lake area and watched the turtles play. This restaurant is a must when you visit.
