Just came back from eating there and got the sausage gravy plus. The gravy was completely expired and tasted sour. The only good thing that came from eating here was the refund we got once we left.

I had and recommend the crab cake and eggs. Plenty of both and with grits, it made a wonderful meal. The service was excellent, the restaurant clean and furnishings looked clean, warm and welcoming. Haven't been to this restaurant in at least 15 years so...going on memory, I'd say they lost nothing and that's not always easy. This makes a good stop for breakfast anytime.More

Staying in the area and stopped in for a late breakfast. Jukebox-themed diner with large booths and music playing from the 50's and 60's.

It was a beautiful day and we were on the south-side at noon. We sat outside to enjoy the weather and both of us chose items off of the breakfast menu. It was our first time to eat at the River City Diner and our...food was very good. Their menu had numerous other items that looked great and we plan to return to try some of them. The service prompt and very good. Thank you River City Diner for one of the most enjoyable meals we have had for some time.More

I went to lunch with 2 girlfriends and we all enjoyed our meal very much! I had a delicious burger and cup of roasted red pepper crab soup! One of my friends had a bowl of the crab soup and the other loved her chili!...Can't wait to come back. We ate outside and felt very safe...service was fantastic!More

We had friends from out of town visiting us, and they had their 6 year old son with them. We wanted to go somewhere that was kid friendly, and had a variety of menu options. The diner was a hit with the whole group! Even...on a busy Sunday at noon, we only had a short wait to be seated. The menu is huge! Breakfast (served all day), appetizers, burgers, seafood, a variety of hot dogs.... there is literally something for everyone. A server waited on us immediately, and took our orders. The food came out hot and delicious, and very quick! I ordered the crab cakes, and was not disappointed! If you ordered fries, they came in abundance; the hush puppies were very tasty; and they only thing that was "sub-par" was the mac-and-cheese. We were very full from our meal, but could not resist the hand-mixed shakes... oh man, they were delicious! I will definitely be back, and this is now my favorite place to bring out-of-town guests!More

Fun time, met old friends. We all got burgers. Mine was perfect, delicious. Sunday lunchtime, very busy. But moved along, wasn't a long wait. Good service, good food. I'll go back.

Stopped in for breakfast and ordered the corned beef hash. When it came out and was served to me it look like pure vomit on my plate. I went to eat it and took one bite of it and almost puked on my self. It...was totally disgusting. I looked around and others were barely eating as well. I believe this retro diner is now serving petrified food. I do not recommend this place for anything .More

Met a friend for lunch. She had a hamburger that looked delicious. I had a salad....pretty lackluster... No dark greens, just romaine. It was palatable but not to the point I would return. Server was very nice and interior was interesting.

Want a place to gather with friends on a Friday night that doesn't involve a 45 minute or longer wait to get a table; this is the place to be. River City Diner is a step back in time with a life size Elvis inside....The staff was friendly and as our friends gathered for dinner we were able to have easy conversation as the noise level was very low due to the lack of crowd. The food portions are large, but lack flavor. The fries on the plate could serve a family of 4. Breakfast is served at all times and the waffle is huge. The cocktails come in a large glass, but we felt like we were drinking straight lemonade (did they forget the Lynchburg part?)More
