Restaurants near Rochester Ranger Station

We’ve had some inconsistent experiences at the River. Really enjoyed it when they first opened, awesome chicken wings app (large sized pieces), good clean food. Seemed like it went downhill after Covid, trouble finding good/experienced staff, food was disappointing. Our food was much better this time, burgers cooked as ordered, fries weren’t greasy/soggy, and our server seemed knowledgeable. Gripes: the salmon dish is underwhelming for the price, the rice that came with it was bland. Also the desserts were mediocre, cheesecake and mousse layer cake were cold and the cheesecake didn’t seem homemade. Overall, though, better than previous recent visits, and hopefully things are on the upswing!

Such a warm welcome as we arrived, a very knowledgeable team, excellent cocktails in the bar before dinner, a well-versed sommelier, & a DELICIOUS menu. As a party of five, We had the duck, scallops, mussels, soups and salads, all of which we enjoyed greatly. The STICKY TOFFEE pudding was one of the very best any of us had ever had…x The fire was roaring, the ambience invited us to linger. Thank you Team Jessica for a fabulous evening.

Just love it here ! Cozy classic Woodstock lunch restaurant. Definitely my favorite spot in Woodstock for a nice meal.

The service, food and beer was fantastic. Aly our server was right over to greet us and take our beer order. Later when we needed a refill, she immediately appeared. At just the right time she was back for our food order. Both Mrs. B and I had the burger with fries. The burger was perfectly cooked medium rare and the fries are so delicious. In between other servicers would stop by to pick up empty glasses. WOW!!!

Nice pub atmosphere. Good food and drink. Personable staff.
