“ Food is good. Service is also good and very down to earth. But definitely not. 4.8. it appears to be a local favorite and the atmosphere is also very local. Pancakes were good, we still prefer P.J. pipers for pancakes. We liked the bacon a lot. The hash browns and the eggs were also but not out of this world. The toast was quite good too. For the price it was pretty good. Cash only thank you the other reviewers. I think I would enjoy it more if the whole environment was slightly cleaner....it was definitely very down to earth and really didn't seem too clean which affected our experience. ”
“ Nice family diner that is a local favorite. We've been going here for years and love the food and the feel of the place. ”
“ Their chicken fried steak was outstanding!! Melt in your mouth with a perfectly seasoned gravy. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. CASH ONLY, so keep that in mind. Highly recommend. ”
“ This cleverly hidden little hole in the wall restaurant will blow your mind! The food is amazing. The prices are on point, but don't forget to bring cash because that's all this restaurant takes.(or checks) The smell hits you when you walk in the door! The service was rapid, the food was just as fast. The bacon looked homemade. It deserved its own review! Amazing I'll be coming back again and again! Best breakfast I've had in quite some time! Keep up the good work guys! ”
“ Incredible extra thick bacon! No frozen shredded potatoes here. Potatoes are pealed and grated while you wait and grilled to perfection. Tried the pancakes savory - just salt and salt and catsup. Sweet - applesauce and then just syrup. For my taste applesauce wins. ”
“ This place is a must when passing by or through Saukville. Great customer service. The food is excellent. The prices are awesome. ”
“ This is an out of the way little breakfast/lunch restaurant that has been in business for over 40 years - albeit new ownership in the last 5 years. Nothing fancy here. Just good food cooked fresh. Only open for lunch and dinner. Frequented by locals and early risers (aka farm folk) that are up at 4am. This is an old school place with a counter and tables, coffee cups that don’t match and a super friendly staff that takes great care of you. This is one of those restaurants that could be on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. Except that their menu has nothing special except great food. Excellent omelets, pancakes, biscuits & Gravy and their special eggs Benedict with a ham steak as big as your plate (I almost always get this). Have the homemade toast! I have been frequenting the RiversEdge (we call it the truck stop) for over 40 years - and although I no longer live in the area - it is a “must stop” whenever I am anywhere near Saukville WI Worth a visit. But bring cash. They don’t take credit cards. ”
“ Food was excellent. Will definitely eat here again. It was very busy which I consider a good sign. The restaurant itself is pretty tight with tables close together. Service was efficient. Cash or check only. ”
