Excellent food and so much of it! So very impressed. We found it on a whim just passing through and were very pleased! Homemade food made from scratch! Even the noodles in the soup!! And at such low prices!!!
The avocado toast was deliciousness to the second power! A wheat toast with a large fresh tomato slice, huge amounts of creamy avocado, feta cheese, and two sunny side eggs on the side, that I incorporated into my toast. You need to try it! Pat the waitress was very attentive and kind, as all the rest of the employees have been to us during the last three days that we've been coming. I highly recommend this place!
Hubby and I found this place on Google! (Thanks Google) It was a little busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted and seated immediately. They have an extensive menu and serve soup daily. We ordered breakfast. I ordered the steak skillet, which was absolutely amazing. My hubby got a build you own omelet. We split a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy (only served til 2pm) it is THE BEST sausage gravy I've ever had!! And the pancakes were phenomenal!! We will definitely be back!!!
No pretence. Riverside does not pretend to be anything other than a solid place for classic dishes done the way you would expect. The decor is legit retro; the way o like it!
We ate here last night & today for lunch. The food was Absolutely Delicious & the staff was super friendly, especially the two waitresses that we had. Will definitely stop in, anytime we're up this way again 💜❤
The servers are really great and friendly. The pictures do not do the food justice as they tasted and looked way better, but it’s a local restaurant so you usually don’t expect professional quality pictures. I have no complaints, if you’re looking for a burger, chicken fried steak, a nice American dinner, breakfast all day, or some great dessert this is your place! It’s not overpriced either! Definitely way better than the one is Osklaoosa, way cleaner and it is managed way better. The food tastes better as well. If the one in Osklaoosa ruined their reputation for you, go ahead and try the one in Ottumwa, it outweighs the other by far!
Have you ever been to heaven? Of course not (cause your not dead), but this place here is as close to heaven as it gets! Food is awesome, and the staff is great! The breakfast!!! Man O Man, top notch! There hashy browns are as crispy as potato chips. There flap jacks are as fluffy as a cumulonimbus clouds (aka thunder clouds). Because every bite is like a thunder storm of flavor and awesomeness in your mouth, with Rocky Balboa punching your taste buds! (YO ADRIAN!). Coffee is so hot and blasting with rich taste when poured (LOOK OUT TONGUE)! Unlike most restaurants that’s lukewarm and taste like river water!
To the staff keep it up!

I was there as a table of 6,(3 adults 3 kids).Busy, 1pm quite a shamble getting our orders taken.Side salad sent back. (definitely not fresh,warm an brown.) Otherwise food not bad..
I did return 1wk later at 4:30.with 3 grandkids. It was Soo much better. Food and service .We got a new waitress. I've found it to be a hit an miss situation. Breakfast is the best most anytime!
We love the Denver Omelet which comes with hash brown and your choice of toast or pancakes. Trust me you don't leave hungry. Also the waitresses are great
