Reviews of Riverbank General Store and Cafe (Restaurant)

Sayantan Ganguly

There's a beautiful view of the river from inside the restaurant which has been maintained in the style of the 1800's. Picnic tables and a chair-swing are available adjacent to the river. We were pleasantly received and served.

Cafe has shorter hours than store. Tue-Sun 9 AM - 2:30 PM. A gem of a find exit 17A off Rtn 103, 1 KM to Mill Village.

Small restaurant staffed by challenged adults. Very tasty but limited menu. Service is great. An incredible view of the river. An old fashioned ice cream parlour. Local crafts and eats are sold here. Highly recommended. Hours are 10 to 6 every day. Menu usually has a homemade soup of the day combined with sandwich. The store also has local crafts and produce for sale. A day trip you won’t regret. The drive along the Medway River feels nostalgic even if you’re not from the area.

Great setting by the river for lunch. The restaurant has big windows that let a lot of natural light in. And the view outside is fantastic. Very relaxed atmosphere inside and very clean. The seafood chowder is really good!

Beautiful setting. Meals were okay.

Pretty setting but very disappointed after reading the reviews. Called in at 3pm on a weekday. The cafe was deserted, just one guy doing something with the shelves in the store. We stood around for a bit but were completely ignored. I asked if we could get a cup of coffee. He went into the back, and came back with a lady who said that the cafe was closed and she couldn't serve us as she was delivering something. Nothing anywhere which gives hours other than 8am to 8pm. So, we left! On the plus side, the store has some interesting items.

Went here yesterday for brunch, sat down at an empty table for 10 minutes with my family, then a server came out and told us that we had to leave since she would need the table in 45 minutes for a reservation! There was no sign on the table or no indication that the table was needed. Was not impressed with the customer service!!

Awesome food, great view of the river flowing by, cozy atmosphere; there are several vegan options too... The cream of mushroom was so delicious!

Like taking a step back in time. Setting is warm and friendly. Everything is as a little country general store should be...and the cafe was fabulous! Everyone is nice, friendly and helpful.

Not only terrific food - but a handy local store for essentials plus extras in the tiny Mill Village. What a find. Great destination for a weekend excursion from the city. Good food - great view - reasonable prices.

The Riverbank not only has great baked goods but the heat at home meals are delicious as well. They also have a gift shop on site which I always enjoy looking through. Also a lovely view when dining in.

Stop serving food at 2:30. Nothing on website saying so.

I have been coming here since they reopened at the end of June.... anyways since they re opened as per the covid restrictions. WE LOVE LOVE this place and the people that work here. We normally come in for breakfast on the weekends. This past Sunday Aug 8th our guest wanted to go back, because lets face it the food is amazing, so i called ahead to reserve a table and to see who was in the café serving... we arrived at 9:30am and let me tell you it was like we had remembered it from our previous weekend breakfast. we were greeted with a spunk and the sense of "come on in i cant wait to serve you guys" kind of attitude. This young lady... man i am bad with names wish i got her name..... we noticed that she wiped all the Charis down at the tables that were finished and the sides/edges of the table which is extremely important these days. i even went in to the store, to tell them that she is AMAZING and a keeper!! we LOVE LOVE LOVE the general store!!!! but yes we will continue to call ahead to see whom is in the café before we head over.

It was a nice place, on the Medway River, not far off the 103 highway. Good food and friendly staff.

Sunday, Sept 23, 2018 Visited again, this time with Mom. The chowder was way too hot for her but it always is. Huge portion. Too much for her but she got to take some home, which was good. I thought it looked great. I had the grilled vegetable wrap, which was great, but it was served with the most tasteless cardboard potato chips I ever had. They could definitely skip those or buy another brand. The staff, as usual, were absolutely fantastic. Friday, Sept 21, 2018 Love this place. We live in Halifax and discovered this place when we came to the area to do some hiking/bike exploring. We have been wanting to come here for ages but the hours of the restaurant are so short, we never were in town when it was open. We finally planned our day so we would be here to discover the restaurant, and were delighted with the food and service. The portions were amazing, and the food delicious. Great presentation, beautiful decorating, and lovely staff. We highly recommend this off-the-beaten-path delight.

Enchanting, we ate ice cream sitting on chairs in the afternoon sun on a green lawn overlooking that beautiful dreamy lazy river, what a fond memory.
