Food is always home made and excellent!The owner John and his family are amazing. Personal, friendly service. Many Greek specialty foods. If youre lucky to be there at the right time he serves Fried Green Tomatoes from his own garden.
You have to try this place. Yes, the decor & vibe is a time warp straight back to the 80s but its charming and wait till you taste the food. I got the broiled seafood combination and it was outstanding. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. The scallops were sweet, the crab stuffing was perfect. The house dressing on the Greek salad was to die for. Very fresh and crisp lettuce - one of the ways I judge a restaurant. Also got the spinach & artichoke dip: very good.
Decent prices for the breakfast menu. Breakfast menu doesnt have much choices but food is good.Could use bigger coffee mugs to drink from.The staff are Friendly.
Ammmmaaazzing food. I ordered a grilled cheese with tomato and disco fries. Regular restaurants always give me a sad looking kids meal. Riverton gave me an adult meal.
Great food awesome staff go there at least once a week
Great food, great service, wonderful owners. Most items are made from scratch including the bread. Couldnt be happier with this restaurant/bar. Hotel and banquet rooms are also available. Wish I didnt move so far away from this fantastic place.
Stayed there for about 3 weeks back in 2015. Traveling alone, I spent a lot of time in the bar with John. He’s a great host and a exceptional chef. If I’m ever out that way again, I’ll definitely stop bye. Scenery in the area is beautiful as well, being from Chicagoland this place was very unique to me. This place is a relic, it’s old school, it’s got a cozy atmosphere, it’s vintage, appreciate it because these places are few and far between anymore. Hope your doing well John.
Grape leaves were phenomenal. Great food. You can tell everything is made from scratch and with love from the owners. Definitely a new favorite spot.
Great service, family atmosphere, Great food, cold drinks, and reasonable prices. Must say close to home too.
Ive driven past this place a lot ,throughout my 36years. Finally stopped in the other day. So happy I did! I had drunken clams and crab bisque soup...sooo good! Definitely going back to try more off the menu. They have specials too! So my next visit will probably be for $3 Taco Tues
Delicious food. Decor in main dining room could use an update. Service was excellent and prices reasonable. I enjoyed the prime rib sandwich melt.
We love this family run spot! The chicken wings are delicious and so much better then the franchise wing places. They also have great burgers, and Greek favorites. Everything is homemade!!
Excellent service and very good food.
Great service. Good atmosphere. The food we got could have used some more flavor. Example... Chicken Marsala had really good chicken in it but not enough sauce and no mushrooms.
Food and service were very goodPleasant experience
Jon is the best host ever! Took my gf out for her bday and everything exceeded our expectations! Everything fresh, homemade, timing was perfect. And the hospitality you cannot beat! Like no other. I drive 40 minutes to come here and I will continue to❤❤
This is a hard working American Mom and pop Establishment the food was great the atmosphere is its cozy Not that expensiveAnd the owner is someone you can learn a lot fromYoull know when you meet him
Ion a life long resident of the area for 46 years. I’m kinda sad lan Jane and never like a change John hit me yo try some f g ifferent things a wow the good is amazing. I’ve instance I just hsd London broil smashed potatoes and zuccinhi. I’mit was our of this world and then he hopped off with a watermelon margarita with fresh rip w atermelon I was in heaven!!!!!
Sunday for brunch. Was sitted at noon. 2 orders of eggs. An hour later was served. Nobody came by our table to let us know any reason for delay. If ur welling to wait an hour or more for a simple egg order then go. I certainly will not again. No apologies.
I had a wonderfully prepared dinner. Short ribs, fries, cornbread and slaw. The ribs were good, as they should be, the fries were one of the best Ive had, with a lot of crunch, and the slaw was nice with lots of vinegar. Its a bit empty inside, a function of the location, and inside a tad dated. But, nontheless, the atmosphere was still pleasant.
Ate here years ago and it was a dim bar. When I went with a group of people on a Thursday night for a semi-formal dinner, it was wonderful. The prices were reasonable, the food was delicious and the service prompt and friendly. I had a great steak, and several people in the group had lamb and said it was the best theyve had.
Service is always good. Brunch is excellent to include pancakes and french toast. The place is certainly dated but dont let that hold you back.Havent had dinner there yet.
My GOODNESS its awesome to stop at a random restaurant and be absolutely blown away by the food.Amazing Greek food, friendly atmosphere and great service. I got a gyro and baklava for dessert and absolutely loved it! I cant wait to come back again!
Been coming here for years growing up but has been many years since i visited the area again to come back. It has atmosphere, wonderful food, the waitress just as good as the food. Everything was perfection and it was as i remembered...a lovely place to go for a quiet meal in beautiful setting. thanks
Me and my family have been going here for over 10 years. The owner is hilarious and friendly. The two dishes I recommend the most are the meatloaf or teriyaki salmon. Simply delicious. If you like chocolate, the chocolate flourless cake is a perfect dessert indulgence.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere, excellent experience. This place is worth putting on your must do list.
Stopped in for a coffee while traveling with my family and was not happy with the brown water without the extra sugar I asked for, literally brown water with a hint of coffee flavor. Beautiful inside and nice clean bathrooms with friendly service and family atmosphere. A little bit dated but still classy.
The food was great and the pricing was spot on. 2 meals with an appetizer and tip under 50 bucks. The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was excellent for this small town getaway restaurant.
A true family restaurant! Delicious and wonderful people
The food is regularly fresh and yummy, staff members gives great service. I really like the cleanliness and vibes. Worth a try.
My wife and I were taking a walk along the river, and my wife had to go to the bathroom. This place was the first thing we saw. Yes, we notices the sign that said restrooms are for customers only, but we figured that since the place was not busy and my wife was in tears and her face was red holding it, that maybe they would let her use the restroom. The guy there, whom I would assume be the owner, told us there was a public restroom across the street. So we said thank you and went outside to look. He lied to us. There was no public restrooms. When we went back inside, I told him that there were no public restrooms. I begged him that we would buy food and be customers if he let us use the restrooms, he got angry and raised his voice. He said I was a liar and did not really go outside. He shooed us outside, and when he realized that he couldnt lie about the public restrooms across the street, he then lied again and said it was across the parking lot pointing to a building hidden in the bushes. When we went over there, it was a house. I bet the food is great there but I cant respect a place that deprive people of a basic human need even when they are begging to use the restroom and then offered to become customers just to use the restrooms. If you cant respect people enough to help them, than I am glad we didnt eat your food even if it is good.
Food and drinks were both great and not overly expensive! Portabella mushrooms in wine reduction were yummy wonderful! The filet mignon and prime rib were both excellent! A definite will go again!
Nobody under 60 here. People are friendly but the food was below average. I hate giving bad reviews but red wolf inn was closed and this didnt compare. They do have carryout beer though!
Excellent food, service and environment. We were in for aspecial event after hours and the staff went way outof their way to feed and serve us. Ill certainly come back here again during normal hours. Very nice location
Just a review on service and hospitality. I dropped in for a bloody Mary on the way home from work and was treated great and had a great conversation with the owner. Im eager to come back with family for dinner. Thank you Riverton Hotel and Restaurant
Stopped here for lunch, great wait staff,prompt service, easily the best restaurant in the area.
We absolutely love this place !!!! Its a regular stop for lunch on our Sunday motorcycle rides. The owner is a colorful character who always provides a great laugh !! Love this place !!!!!!!!
Food was delicious, staff was pleasant, beautiful atmosphere.
This is a decent neighborhood restaurant. The owners are nice, hard working people. Food is good quality.
Really cozy place. Food quality was great. Nice employees. All around good experience.
Excellent Bloody Marys and stuff mushrooms and Chicken pot pie soup...Even took a quart of soup to go...I will definitely go back
Real nice place to get together with friends and family good food nice bar room with booths surrounding if you dont want to sit at the bar also a large dining room away from The bar as well it seems they also have a private banquet hall for partys prices are fair definitely worth stopping in!
Ghost restaurant...no employees to be found..no other patrons on a Saturday at dinnertime...we stood in the lobby n never seen a soul..left and had a nice lunch elsewhere
Excellent place to eat, especially Sunday Mornings! The family is warm and friendly. Never miss a meal here, when I am in town!
The atmosphere is that of a past time, well preserved. The food is excellent, unique, and at a reasonable price. Greek specialties are a favorite. Sea food also highly recommended.
At $60 a night, it is reasonable. Nothing fancy here. Just a bed to sleep in. The Greek couple who owns it is very nice, but it is an old fashioned operation. I only stayed one night, but in their sign-in book (yeah, that is a thing) there were several people who had stayed a week or longer.Queen bed, toilet, shower, public Wi-Fi that I did not try out.There was both heat and AC in our room.When everything else was sold out, and on eight hours notice, this place had rooms.Did not eat in the restaurant.
DO NOT BOOK A ROOM THERE! Old, outdated, unclean and Decorated in Early Dumpster. This place should be completely re-modeled or torn down! When I checked in the room was being cleaned so I expected a clean room. There was a blob of hair in the shower and the room actually looked like it was furnished with furniture from a dumpster or the local land fill. Chairs were torn, the tables are gross, the lamps were pulled from a dumpster. No phone in room, the hot water for the shower was hit or miss and the bathroom was a joke. Bring your own light bulbs because every light has a tiny bulb, bring your own towels, and always wear footwear. Better yet, book a room at any other hotel nearby!
Warm, inviting, friendly service. Homemade food served quickly. Good pour on the drinks and the food is out of this world delicious.
Second time we drove half hour to get there and guess what, there not open ,how can you run a business that has no regular hours ? Call first or go to the Richmond food is better there anyhow well now 11-1 18 they now have regular hours and the best is breakfast on Sunday
Pretty good food. The owners tend the bar. He puts forth an amusingly cranky persona with a pleasant Greek accent. Dont skip the pierogies.
Love them! Great place!
EXCELLENT food at a reasonable price. If you have the chance to eat here, dont pass it up! It may not look like the greatest place, but its absolutely worth it!
Close to home, quaint and clean. Food was great and a nice menu.
Great service good food and fair prices. The owner John is very personable and quite comedic
Great food and wonderful staff
Food is excellent. Staff is great.

Great food, reasonable prices, all fresh made including desserts; try the steaks or salmon, also chicken marsala; easy parking, right by bridge, friendly waitstaff, separate bar, comfortable
Enjoyed sitting at the bar. Good food. French onion soup was delicious!!!! Nice drinks, nice price.
I live across the street I eat here very frequently the food is superb I ordered a chicken cheese steak it was the best chicken cheese steak Ive ever had it forced me to write a review and the employees are super friendly :)
Terrific food, easy to find, park, no waiting and great service. Good family place; but they also have a bar.
Went for Sunday brunch. Was a little bit of a wait for the food, but well , well worth it! Will absolutely return!
The food was decent. Small bar downstairs but they had the necessities. Over all not a bad place.
We had not been here in years until last Saturday. The food and service was so good, we went back tonight.
Everything is home made. Friendly people and great food. If you havent been there, youre missing out on a wonderful meal.
Went for breakfast with 7 friends. Not a complaint. Excellent. Price was great too.
The place is So-So. Drinks are poured light, house wine is from a box and quite matked up. Bar food just gets by, not sure about the main dining experience.
Great food, always like home-cooked. Extensive menu. Nice, old-time atmosphere.
Litteraly the worst food service i have ever experienced. Painfully difficult just ordering a drink. Food is mediocre. Run far away from this place.
Good food at a fair price. Homemade bread and cakes. Classic style and eclectic atmosphere.
Delicious home made food ! Will definitely come back.
The Greek owners are great people. The ribs are to die for. Highly recommend
Havent had anything I didnt love. Great homemade food with fun and friendly staff.
Good Greek food as well as American favs. Owners are very hospitable.
The rooms are nice but unfortunately our AC unit made a lot of noise and the toilet was plugged before we ever used it. 😟
Service is slow at night. Put in your good and drink order ASAP otherwise youre waiting for 15+ minutes if there is a group
Great food and friendly service. The mousaka was amazing.

2021-09-01Came here for dinner on our last night in town. Wish we would have discovered this gem earlier. Food and service was excellent and the beer was nice and cold! John the owner is a hysterical grouchy old Greek and we loved his humor! It was so good we had breakfast the next day! Oh and if you get the London broil, make sure you ask them to slice it thin♡😁

2022-02-09We ate here for a memorial service. Its definitely a throw back to 80s , maybe even 70s. Very dated atmosphere.However, food was good, service very good.As a small town place , Ive heard its a staple of reliable good stuff.Awesome view of bridge and river. Almost like you are in its a wonderful life.

2022-05-04Got a craving for a steak, 3 local diners no steak so we went to the Riverton. As close to putting dinner on the table at home then any place Ive been. Want a quiet dinner thats a delicious meal without the work or dishes! Very reasonable prices. Friendly owners\/staff. Excellent pickles and many varieties baked goods regularly. From scratch! Like pumpkin bread or roll started with actual pumpkins. No pouchs or cans straight up from scratch.
Review №4
2022-04-13If you’re looking for a truly home style meal, this is the place. The smoked salmon has absolutely got to my favorite. And when the owner comes around to have you try his own homemade pickles , absolutely to die for. This place is so peaceful I love it!

2022-05-29Went with my family for breakfast. We were greeted and seated. Everyone was very attentive. Our meals were delicious and service was great. Our portions were large and the prices are very affordable.Please check out the Riverton, you wont be disappointed .

2022-04-07The Riverton is made special by the family that runs it. Quintessential. Papa brings the drinks, daughter takes your order and mama does dessert. Theyre always kind. The menu is diverse. I would stick to the Greek offerings. Theyre the best but as a vegan I love their teriyaki stir fry. Crunchy veggies and umami flavor.

Review №10
2017-01-24An historic, couple-owned, old school 80s-renovated hotel/restaurant and bar with sizeable rooms for private events. Just a short jaunt over the Delaware Water Gap from Belvidere, aside from a few houses, its the only thing around when you cross. I didnt eat when I visited, but I have a hunch it could throw my review up a notch if I did. Cigarette machine included
