River Beach Pub & Eatery

Great watering hole with many good choices! Good wait staff. Can be very noisy at times.

If I lived in/​around Chilli, I’d be a regular here.
The view is beautiful. Wow. Oh boy. I was even there when it was foggy and raining. Still great.
The tap list is pretty good for the area. I’m a beer snob and if I’m in a less urban area and can get Sierra Nevada Torpedo on tap, its a good sign.
The menu has plenty of options, especially for bar food. I got the catfish fingers, which were fine. Cole slaw was fine. Fries were fine. All the food was fine. Not anything out of the ordinary.
My relative paid for the bill with a check, which I was unaware you could still do anywhere.
Hope to be back on a sunny summer day.

We have eaten here many times over the years. The food is always good, but the service is absolutely atrocious! The blonde/​gray-​haired waitress is awful. Every time we are in her section it is two hours for a simple meal. Anytime we are in someone else’s section or seated at the bar the service is good to decent. I recommend eating here for the food but I would avoid this lady section like the plague.

Amazing torta with a great view to the river.
All the flavors were amazing and the menu has a nice variety, excellent service

It was really busy and we were able to be seated right away! We had the nachos for an appetizer and they were excellent! I had the Italian beef and it was by far the best in the area! My husband had the beef brisket and he said it was also very good! The waitress was super friendly and the food was ready very fast considering how busy they were. Very impressed will definitely be back!

We recently discovered this gem by accident (we’re new to the area). We’ve been back twice since our first experience. Our first visit was lunch. My very fussy cousin loved her pork tenderloin, my husband enjoyed his Italian beef sandwich. the closest to our favorite back in Chicago and I had a delicious burger with their homemade potato salad. The day was perfect for sitting on the patio and Amy was our server. She was very helpful and friendly answering our questions about the area businesses. We went back the other day for dinner with two other couples. A bit chilly for the patio but not horrible. Everyone was very happy with their meals and the view of the river. This place reminds me of the bars along the beach in the Caribbean or Florida. I can’t wait to go back!

Great outdoor dining deck but small. Food was average, may have been better if it was warm. Service was a little too casual to be good. Prices were good.

love this place! great patio in the summer time. good food. standard pub fare but they mix it up with some really good specials you would not expect from time to time. Brenda and Larry (owners) are the bomb! they really know how to treat their customers (regulars and new people alike)! and they are Blackhawks fans. how can you not want to hang with them?!

This was the second time I have had the opportunity to eat here for lunch and both times it is so packed had to wait for a table and both times it was well worth the wait.
Had the catfish finger basket, homemade chips, stuffed mushrooms. What a great flavor, not to heavy and perfect portions. Will be coming back again next time I get home. You don’t want to miss this gem on the river.

Went here for my mother’s 75^th birthday. It is near a place she stays, so she eats there regularly. I hadn’t been there in a number of years.
We came in and the owner pointed to the dining room, saying we could sit anywhere. After we were settled, she said we had to move because the table we selected was for another party. It remained empty, along with plenty of others while we were there. I suspect this is representative, which is why I include it here.
I’d heard that the beef brisket was good, so I ordered it. It was good. Another person in our party wasn’t as lucky. Although not listed on the menu, or visible in the wrap, some key ingredient contained peppers that she is allergic to. She was very nice about it, but the same could not be said about the waitress.
This person then placed a second order, nachos with the salsa on the side. I thought it might be a good idea to ask if the salsa had peppers in it, and it did! The waitress almost brought the same person something that would have triggered her allergy!
When I asked why she didn’t mention it had peppers, she very rudely and with a lot of attitude, said «well she asked for it!» All I can figure is that she meant that the person ordered it and hadn’t asked… but, she had just mentioned that she was allergic to them.
The nachos came, they were horrible. I tried one, with and without the salsa (that they brought anyway), and it was absolutely horrible. Others at the table tried them with the same result.
This poor person was trying so hard to find something, be nice, etc. but amazingly it only got worse for her. No one at the restaurant cared at all. It was pretty amazing. At a certain point, each new thing that piled on just became funny… and all we could do was laugh. Wouldn’t go back though!

Great lunch spot when getting away from the office. Granted, the food is standard bar fare, but with good prices, a laid-​back atmosphere, and good salads, I recommend it.
And, if you’re a workaholic like me and need to get work done, feel free to use their free wi-​fi to get things done during lunch!

Great food! Love the Rio burger and the catfish fingers… Love the chips and sauce! Yummy!

Very good food. Friendly wait staff. A nice pub. One of the best places in the region to lunch.

This is a nice little bar located across the street from the river with a nice sized outdoor patio that offers a great view of the water.
It has basic bar type food and all the times I have eaten here, I have been happy with what I have gotten. I just had the chicken basket which comes with two sides, and is a step above the typical over deep fried chicken you get at other places. The breading is light, very flavorful, and the chicken is presented in large meaty chunks.
The typical crowd is older and have probably been coming here for many years as everybody seems to know everybody else. The staff/​owners are generally friendly and willing to have a conversation with anybody who wants one.
The beer on tap selection is decent (11 handles), and only consists of a couple of the «typical majors», the rest consisting of craft or semi-​craft type beers. A definate plus in my book.
This would be an excellent place to head to at the end of a hot Summer day…

Good food
Beautiful location
Cute setup (outdoors)
Fair Prices
We have only eaten there three times, but we were pretty happy and plan to go back again.

By far the best food in the area. They have a different special every night. Many craft beers on tap. Staff was warm and friendly. Great view of the river.

Probably the closest food to the Caterpillar Mossville campus, River Beach has some good food. They are quite busy on Fridays so getting a table can take a while and service is slower, but it is worth the wait. The menu consists mostly burgers and sandwiches. They only have one charge machine and try to enforce a minimum on paying with credit/​debit, but it’s not a hard and fast rule. I suggest bringing cash.
