Rivers Edge Cafe - Sacramento, California

Thankfully I stumbled across this restaurant one day because it was across the street from me. It was such a great experience that I just keep going back now even though I’ve moved. First, when you walk in you’re greeted with fresh baked cookies on the counter (for free!) and there usually isn’t ever a wait. The seating is comfortable and servers have all been incredibly nice. Everything I’ve ordered is a hit and they all come in great portion sizes so if you aren’t a big eater you can share a plate or take home some leftovers! My favorites I’ve gotten here is the fried rice and the chicken and waffles Benedict. It’s also nice that they have a good selection of bottomless drinks such as coffee and soda. It’s a very homey casual diner type restaurant with mostly brunch menu items but with a variety of options to choose from.

We love our weekend meal outings and try to look for another go to we can frequent. Sad to say though the service from our waitress was spectacular, they really do need the extra hands to provide timely service. There are two staff waitress and probably one cook which delayed receiving our order. Food ok, prices are up there with nothing to look forward to spend on a meal. I had a simple grilled cheese, he a burger. Again, I stress the waitress was amazing, quality of food and menu options have room to improve.

This was my first visit to the café an hour before closing. The staff was very pleasant although there weren’t many patrons in the establishment besides myself and two other people that were together I got the turkey cranberry sandwich and it was good. Nothing amazing but definitely would eat again if I wanted something quick to get The fries were not salted well, but this was a typical diner in my opinion.

Came in for lunch today with my partner and toddler.
Ashton was our server & he was super awesome
This place definitely deserves more business.
We had a club sandwich, burger, sweet potato, fries, salad and fruit.
They were ALL delicious
Check this place out!

This place has completely gone down hill. I haven’t been here since I moved away 5 years ago but since I moved back I tried it again today and when we walked in on a Sunday it was completely dead. We had to also wait forever for our food (44 minutes). The mimosa was flat and the server couldn’t figure out our order. She kept repeating it back to me incorrectly. I won’t be back. I hope they can improve or this place may be out of business soon. Also, pretty expensive.

Josh took a great care of us, he was very fast, and friendly. I was impressed with his great service, but not much with the food, and the $70 bill for 3 omelets!

I live on the other side of the river from Rivers Edge and used to eat here often. But then it became so expensive I stopped going. Not necessarily blaming the restaurant, dining out across the board became too pricey to justify the expense.

Really expensive for what you get. Breakfast for 2 people was $48, 2 $18 hashbrown combos and 2 $4 coffees. Coffee was REALLY strong, grains at the bottom of the cup. Nice enough staff, service was a little slow for how empty it was.

Probably a one and done for me, makes me miss my usual spot but they close Sundays.
