Reviews for Riley's by the River in Alexandria Bay, NY
Struggle if this is 2 or 3 stars. Our server was fantastic, so feel bad to give a 2, but the food was average at best. Less than... OK. 4 plates and we disliked all of them. Mostly overcooked is what ruined them, but hard to say if they would have beenflavorful even if cooked well. Have a look from color of pictures of 2 medium rare burgers and salmon. Read more
We were staying at Capt. Thomson?s, so Riley?s was very convenient. Had a late lunch/early supper one day and breakfast another... day. Excellent food at a great price (breakfast prices especially!!). Servers Nicole and Kim were attentive and friendly. Mysister had broiled haddock and said it was cooked perfectly. I had a grilled chicken sandwich that had a great marinatedchicken breast on a nice soft roll. Homemade kettle chips were so good, I took the leftovers back to the hotel to snack onlater. Would definitely stop back here again next time we are in town! Read more
11/10 spicy burger - chips made in house weren't my favourite but would have probably been great with a side dip of some sort.... Beer was ice cold with local selection and great service. A perfect stop after a boat tour. Read more
Experience was great and waitress was awesome and if she didn't know something she went and asked my mother and fiance got the... Reubens and I got the bourbon salmon and food was quick and tasted wonderful Read more
Excellent food and fantastic service. The staff was attentive to our needs and polite. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. I... would check the giant blackboard when you walk in, they have specials listed there. The pricing is good for the amount of foodthat you get. They also make great adult beverages. Perfect location, comfortable and clean environment. The bathroom was cleanand smelled nice. If you visit Alex Bay, you MUST try Riley's. Burger shown below is the Spicy Burger. The Thousand Islandsquesadilla is great too! I highly recommend it! Also pictured, the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Prime Rib Dip. SOdelicious! ???? Read more
My husband and I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner then the following morning for breakfast (best breakfast we had during... our stay!) Dinner had around a 15 minute wait for the table so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks, I had the strawberrymojito, it was delicious! My husband ordered the fall festival on tap, he enjoyed that. Food we had NY strip with mashedpotatoes and broccoli, it was alright nothing too special. My husband ordered the fish taco and he liked them fairlywell! Breakfast though is where they really shined!! I ordered their special (Which should definitely be put on their menu as astandard!) Fisherman french toast, thick cut bread fried to perfect, dusted with cinnamon and sugar. The outside waswonderfully crisp, while the inside was so soft 10/10! My husband ordered the bacon jam omelette, he remarked multiple times howgood it was! On top of all of this the staff was all very kind and they had good music in the background ???? If ever in the1000 islands area again we'll definitely stop! Read more
We went their twice. Once the day we came into town & on our way out. Our waitress the last day was amazing! She was super... friendly & offered a great drink selection. She has a camp in Alex Bay & technically retired. Food was awesome as well. Thehostess readily took our table request & made it happen. I would definitely go back!!! Read more
Went for lunch here with my husband. Our server Kim was fantastic and took great care of us. Always available if we needed... something but not intrusive through our day date ???? The bartender was friendly and engaging when I walked by! Now let?s talkfood great quality, portions and pricing! The club sandwich was delicious ???? and the homemade chips were huge and crispy! Theview through the giant windows was stunning and made for a beautiful backdrop for our lunch. I would highly recommend you visitRiley?s the next time you?re in town ???? Read more
