Love this place, the staff is very pleasant and seem to enjoy their jobs! Food is also delicious , really enjoy the milkshakes as well.
Excellent poutine! It's definitely the best I've ever tasted, the service is also pretty fast and the people are very nice! Five stars!
Great food and fast friendly service! I'd stop by again for sure!!
Best chip stand in Sturgeon Falls!!! Service is awesome and quick and the routine is renown!
Delicious poutine and made-on-the-spot pogos. The place to go in that area.
Fast and friendly service and the best burger Ive ever had. Portions are large.
This place has some of the best French fries in Sturgeon Falls. Great place to stop. We had pogo and fries and it was very good.
Best poutine in town.
Delicious, gluten free gravy so having poutine is safe here, also gluten free and keto buns. Was quite the treat.
Great pountine. Fun spot to stop off at. Other food they serve looks good. Mmmmm poutine
Awesome poutine and service
Always love the food at Riv's. Always exceptional quality and care in everything they serve! The only thing I don't care for is the judgmental stares and comments I witness while waiting for my food. I mean, yes I'm fat, but you don't have to shame me because I'm ordering food just like you. On top of that, no I don't speak french, but I understand certain words so be kind to everyone people. Don't use your language to slander and degrade someone in secret. It's 2021 and that's not cool.
They make their own corn dogs! And have delicious fries, poutines and other meals. No vegan pogo's but you can't have everything, ah but you can have the fries!
Awesome pogo. Poutine was ok because gravy was a little bland. For poutine you can do curds or shredded or both which is great. Fair prices.
Great Poutine! Gotta try both of the rival Poutines from these shops across the street from each other and find your fav.
Great Pogos. Awesome fries. Brought our three week old daughter for a visit. Her first of many
Best food strawberry milkshakes and service
she made a smile out of mustard amazing staff
Staff were super friendly. Burgers were ????! And of course the fries were awesome. But the ice cream sandwiches though....????????????????
Came all the way from Sudbury just for some Riv. Huge menu, always hot & fresh. Staff are great at their jobs and very friendly. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating and friendly people around. 100% worth the drive!
We’re always happy leaving here. Perfect lunch in the summer when stopping through Sturgeon!
One of the best chip stands around. Must have a pogo and poutine.
Absolutely fantastic. Poutine was LOADED and the fish was great. Lots of desserts for after (if you have room!)
Great place and great food. You guys make a mean keto burger. Highly recommended!
Food is made fresh to order and well worth the wait. Best pogo and poutine I have ever had! If your are ever passing through Sturgeon Falls, make sure to stop at Riv!
Very friendly staff! The wait was a little long but nothing unexpected for such a busy and amazing chip stand! - 9 months later - another awesome experience at the RIV!!! Food is always amazing!!!!
Don't even question not going... AMAZING food! 5 friggin stars from my family!
Fantastic fries, and a delicious Pogo. A great stop for a snack!
Best place in northern Ontario for pogos and poutine!
Always looking forward to my holiday just to visite the chip stand . Always amazing good food and good company as well...
Best pogos in town. Freshly hand dipped, deep-fried to a golden brown and painted with mustard. Poutine is also a winner. Worth the wait, or call in your order for pickup.
Great service and portion sizes. We'r had the cops and pogo with pulled pork, no poutine...and they were all better than average
Great fries great shakes... chilli dog was extremely disappointing... regular no name wiener. Cheap bun and what tasted like canned chilli. 5 star fries and shakes 1 star chilli dog equals a 3star rating. You won't be disappointed as long as you stay with what they are good at,,, fries, poutine and shakes..
Awesome food and friendly service!! Amazing milkshakes!!
Great place to stop and grab lunch. Quick and efficient service with friendly staff
Just got some food and the large poutine is really large, you get a lot of them with the gravy being really nice and thick + flavorful and the chicken strips are amazing. nice and crispy. nice people too.
Perfectly cooked fresh food with amazing service. Highly recommended as a MUST do if not even in the area, the diversion is well worth the effort. Huge selection of great choices with great quality ingredients. Simply put, you have to visit here; you will not be disappointed!!
Great friendly and fast service!!!! The employees work as a team!! Fish and chip awesome. Huge servings.
So wonderful! The owner even explained to us they have moved over to fresh local ingredients. So.. healthier + gourmet + Canadien = amazing!!! Try the Pumpkin Spice Milkshake; honestly, I was hesitant, but WOW! Was incredible and again, house-made fresh Pumpkin Spice base with local ingredients and house-made Pumpkin Marshmallows on top (I wish I had photographed). Note seating is outside and this is a 3-season restaurant, so your time is limited, to enjoy for 2020, or you'll have to wait until Spring to enjoy this yumminess!!
Pogos are out of this world... fries are very good and very quick service. Love going to Sturgeon Falls just for this
Great food great service
Love their pogos and fresh cut fries. Often time my travels to or from Pembroke so lunchtime coincides with Sturgeon Falls
An excellent choice to stop for poutine or a fry. The service was fast and the food was fresh!
Doesn't matter if you have Larry's or Riv, you're going to have The Best chip stand experience in the world.
Awesome poutine, been here a few times and the toppings you get on it are legit
Delicious food and the staff are always so courteous.
Great food. Awesome service. Friendly staff
I've been going to RIV since I was small, best place in town for pogo and poutine. Of course other items on the menu are great.
Very delicious! I recommend!
We always stop here after berry picking at leisure farms, the best Pogos!
Amazing fires and burger!
Stopped on my way through Sturgeon Falls. Have been here once before for a legendary pogo, which was awesome. Just picked up a burger tonight. It was so tasty that I didn't get a picture before starting to eat. Awesome food here.
Recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and this place has gluten-free options. Delicious fries!
Always always good food. Foot long hot dog isn't the skinny kind either. Delicious!!
The amount of cheese curds you get on one poutine is crazy. Very good food and great staff very friendly
Great Italian meat sauce poutine. Huge portion!!
My favorite place to visit whenever I am up in Sturgeon Falls. Definitely a must go to.
Always serves great food! Best fries and pogos in the world!
amazing food, absolutely loved it the wait wasn't too long and the way they handled everything was great just a little expensive :)
Spectacular poutine paired with reasonable prices. I'd also recommend the fried pickles here.
They have tasty poutine here! Several different kinds if your feeling adventurous or a really good original poutine :) They also have lots of other finger foods that are delish and some really good desserts, one of my fave chip stands in our area!
Delicious! Extremely good menu with something for everyone to enjoy. The fries are cooked to perfection, so you know the poutine is perfect. Make sure to wash it down with the Twister.
Very large menu for a chip stand. Quality is always high, never had a bad dish from here.
The pogos are my favourite item on the menu, and I tried a chicken burger this time: Perfectly cooked and definitely something I'll try again. Service was very friendly and prompt, too, for how busy it was!
Love this place. Food is delicious. My favorite place to get a burger
Delicious, authentic chip stand food with tons of selection
The best fries!! Will always stop here and wait in the long lineup just to get the best fries and pogos around!!
Great service, they're doing all they can to keep each other and the public safe during the times but the poutine wasn't great (unpopular opinion)
Hamburger poutine was great
Great food and very friendly staff! The peach slushy was delicious too!
I love this place! It's a tradition. Can't get enough of the shakes and food. So bad for me but sooooo good! C'est une tradition familiale. A chaque fois qu'on va au chalet, je bourre ma face avec un shake, poutine et Pogo
Omg yummy poutine! I don't mind the drive from Sudbury at all. Wonderful friendly staff as well!
It's a popular spot for fries, and a few other items, across the street from another fries seller. I'd heard about it from my sister and Mom who'd visited it in the past while driving between North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. I was looking forward to the visit while vacationing in the area (at either chip seller). I ordered the Poutine (mixed) size medium, and a cold Pepsi. They were a bit busy so it took maybe 10 minutes to get the order. They called out my name, but it was the French version so I didn't initially react until I saw no one else was answering. I guess the large French population in the area can make that happen. Anyway, it was a reasonable sized box and was overflowing with fries, cheese curds and gravy. I'm sure there were enough calories for the whole day in that one serving! As for the taste, it was pretty bland frankly. The fries weren't that great on their own (I don't think they double-cook their fries to get them crispy) and the gravy was just brown, and not much else. The amount of cheese was okay. I think the French's Poutine gravy mix that I use at home is better than what I got that day. That being said, It's a nice spot to meet your friends on a summer day for lunch, but not on my list of places I have to eat at again.
Legendary chip stand, puts Sturgeon Falls on the map. I've never had a bad experience or bad food from here 5/5 stars
There was a lot of hype around the place, but frankly it didn't live up. The fries and curds were pretty good( and you have the option to layer), but the gravy was too light, too thin, and not flavorful enough. Decent poutine place, but you can get a better one at a good pub.
The best poutine I've ever tasted, albeit a bit pricey! Worth it as a treat once and a while though!
Amazing place for any chip stand faves!! Reasonable pricing and little wait times! Courteous + Respectful staff is always a plus!
The food is always amazing over here; whenever I visit, this is my go to place!
Best fries, poutine, and fresh pogos!!! Waited over a year to be able to go back due to covid and Rivs is still as awesome as ever. Must stop when in Sturgeon Falls!
It has great food like the way they make sure you are getting your order and that the order is correct. My first time going there and I will be going back when I'm in the area
Fast and good service, quickly served and quality food. Definitely will be making the stop in sturgeon again for this place.
Great place to eat. Portions are amazing. And pogos are to die for.
super amazing, customer service is always great and the food is even better!
Chicken wrap and hotdog are amazing.
Incredible food, great value for the price. The milkshakes are insane, they are soooo good. Very fast service, I think they have pick up and delivery. Great place to eat. I definitely recommend.
Very good food. I have been going since I was a child and always loved it.
Great see service and classically good pogo and fries
Good stuff. Way cleaner and more professional service than "across the street". You can tell that they care about their clientele. Unlike...
Service was a little slow. Food was good, usually not a big poutine fan but their gravy is ????
Amazing poutine and the best veggie burgers in town!
Great chip stand! Tasty poutine.
Great chip stand. Fantastic service, good food and the washrooms are always clean.
Great pogos and alot of food!!
the poutine was delicious!
The poutine is fantastic! I suggest you call ahead before placing your order. It can get very busy.
Dropped to 3 star from 4. The pogo was good but they use a small wiener not like other stands that use a bigger one for 50¢ more and the milkshake ok for syrup based.
Yummy and quick! There is a cute seating area and it's in a great location that is quiet yet close to the main strip.
It was delicious was craving pogo and fries mmm I highly recommend
Close to the best poutine ever. Fresh, authentic, delicious. Only cons: slow, expensive, hydrogenated shortening
Great food !
Always great food great service
Great food at a great price. Worth the trip if you're in Sturgeon Falls
Omg. This place has the best poutine in the planet. I drove one hour with girlfriend to try it. She was 100% right. I love everything about this place. Staff is extremely courteous and helpful. Very clean outside seating. I wish they were open all-year long. This place will be a traditional visit for us.
Oh my my! Had there fry bread tacos! So good
Amazing food. Definitely recommend.
We visit Sturgeon all the way from Sudbury several times during the summer for a pogo and poutine!
Great poutine and the dilly dog was amazing!!
Classic French fries served hot and fresh and many chip stand favorites. Portions are large and tasty. The eating area is weather shielded and clean. Sturgeon Falls boasts a couple of these. This one is a worthy competitor.
Good variety of fast food. Fast service and friendly staff. Popular stop for many in the summer months.
Stopped here for Lunch back in July and was a very good choice .. everything we had was very good and hope one day to return and eat here again ...
Had the usual pogo combo and poutine, good food and friendly staff!
Easy to find and reasonable parking available. Lots of seating a available inside and outside. Fast food menu with good variety and good food.
The food was delicious, portions were big, and the service was great!
By far the best pogos and poutine. I drive frkm sudbury just to go there!!
The RIV burger was a delicious addition toba long drive. Will definitely hit them up again the next time I am able to travel.
Great quick stop for food fish and chips or a hamburger or hot dog. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the ice cream.
Love it. Fresh food always.
Best chip stand in the North. Bar none. Make a special trip every time I'm in the area. Great smiles, friendly staff and amazing food.
The food was great and the staff were very friendly. We loved it, and the poutine we got was great!
We went for the Heartberry shake to support Residential School Survivors. Miigwetch RIV for such a lovely fundraiser, featuring local produce!
Poutine merely average and the Montreal smoked meat sandwich should not be on the menu. Horrible. And, they charge $7.00 for it.
Great fish and chips
Service with a smile friendly all around environment. Great food and portions.
Food is quite good. Servings are definitely large, and the staff is very friendly. Great pitstop for food!
Excellent smoked meat poutine and pogo's
I stopped here for lunch with my Mother and nephew yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic. All 3 meals. Service was above par and I also noticed that they also have a bowl of fresh water for animals off to the side of the building. Definitely recommend this stand!
Best chip stand in the world, been coming here since I was a baby, and the recipe has never changed, spectacular chip stand well worth the drive from Toronto!!!!
Piled high loose meat poutine and a home made lemon meringue icecream sandwich... WOW
Always satisfied when i go and eat at Riv! Food and sevice is awesome! Keep it up!
Love the poutine here Can't wait for tables to come back so we can sit and enjoy. Stop here all the time when the husband and I are out for a ride on our motorcycles
The steak and cries was really good, the portion was really big, couldn't finish it. Steak was tender with gravy over puffy fries.
Now THIS is a poutine. Best place by far.
Very good food and prices. Cindy is the best supervisor!
Their poutines are a delicious
The fries are always perfect! Best pogos anywhere.
Ordered poutine, was not impressed at all. The gravy was terrible. Staff was nice and friendly. But would not recommend.
Amazing place. The food is so fresh. I had an incredibility delicious burger. Fresh cut fries too. The ice cream is the best for sure.
Always excellent fries, hand dipped pogos and more!
Best poutine around... Worth the drive from sudbury ???? ????
Great food! Poutin is great as well as the hamburgers and ice cream. Worth the stop
The best poutine is here. Its delicious. Its better than Quebec poutine. Have you seen how much cheese curds they put on it?! Did I mention its delicious? You should come here and give it a try!
There was another chip stand across the street, I walked by both, RIV asked me what I wanted, I said I was looking and wondered which stand had better fries. RIV said they (RIV) did... so I ordered RIV and never looked back.
Great food and service!
Best French fries, quick service and very friendly staff.
Always good food here, but don't care for the new pogo batter they're using. Since pogo's are the main reason we go, this is an issue.
Really delicious poutine, and the portions are very generous. We had the chicken poutine with fried onions and peppers, and the hamburger poutine with fried onions. So good! It's worth the drive from North Bay.
Always awesome food, good service and portions are a good size swell ????????
Best place in town to get pogo and poutine and also friendly staff.
Fantastic food and great price! The staff their are so polite and helpful plus they have an indoor heated seating area
Good food Not a huge wait but it is popular so you will wait Plenty of seats for the crowds
Very lg portions. Very good for a treat. Definitely worth the stop.
Great poutine! I couldn't finish a medium!
Always fantastic service along with great food, Sturgeon Falls in known for its Chip stands! come try them out
Good food! Popular spot for locals and visitors.
Best burgers, fries and gravy around :) We drive 1 hr for good eats.
I love going to the Riv. The food is always hot, they put lots of cheese on their poutine, the fries are perfectly cooked and the gravy is spot on. The homemade pogo's are a must try.
2021 Update: When Ford opened up travel in Ontario - allowing Ontarians to travel within our own province while being 100% respectful of COVID protocols, my accomplice and I drove from Ottawa to Sturgeon Falls for Riv chips. What a beautiful drive too (Ontario is such a beautiful piece of our planet). The Riv blew it out of the water!!! Best fries! The box was loaded - no way the lid could be closed on it. I always ask for mine extra crispy - and every chip was to perfection! My accomplice had fish with his. His must have been pretty good too - as he was completely unresponsive to conversation while he was eating his. -------------------------------------------------- Definately a good little place to drop in for some fast food fare when passing through Sturgeon Falls along the 17 (it's in the town proper and very close to the 17). Busy spot / lots of fast food options. Reasonably priced. They offer a decent veggie burger, and offer gluten-free hamburger buns. Reasonable prices.
Service is exceptional and the food is second to none. Fries are always hot and cooked to perfection and pogos are awesome. I would eat here everyday if I could.
Always fast friendly service! A must stop on any trip for us
Did not enjoy food
Hands down the best poutine in Sturgeon Falls! They also make handmade pogos. Try them out!
Deep fried pickles were great. Fries were a little underdone and soggy
Delicious as usual, really liked the new keto buns.
There is an amazing crew at the RIV. Everyone is very friendly and the poutine is yuuuumyyyyyy.
I'm not a big chip stand type. But I was very pleased with my meal. Staff was friendly
Food taste good but expensive and longer waite time.
As always, perfect. Whole family loved their meal
Gotta get the gravy!! This place is delicious, fries are to die for (homecut style) and the seating area is large, with varied amounts of cover inside/outside. Definitely recommended.
I have been going to this place since I was a kid and it's always is amazing
Very good
The staff is super well trained. The service is always fast and consistent just like the food. They have a cool daily special and use local products when they can.
Love the pogo combo poutine style of course great customer service
If I could give this more than 5-stars I would! Excellent food AND service. Some of the best poutine and corn dogs we have ever had. And the milkshakes were also very tasty (creamy and flavorful). Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic food and portions. The best chip stand in town.
Very good food, friendly staff. Accurate order, no errors
Awesome poutine, quick service, reasonable price. I'll be back everytime I'm though!
Very friendly staff. Delicious poutine and pogo!!
Awesome food and there always ready to donate for causes Friendly staff
Best poutine and homemade pogos...fries amazing
Amazing Pumpkin Pie milkshakes and great chicken fingers
Great burgers, like being able to order in advance, no waiting this way
Always awesome food! Same today as it was 20 years ago. Fresh fries, good burgers and clean sitting area.
The poutine we ordered was freshly made and the cheese curds were very flavorful. We also ordered a twist cone which wasn't the creamiest but I did not expect much as this was not an ice cream place. A great stop to grab a quick bite.
Great food and fast service, admittedly prices on the higher side. Good outdoor sitting area.
Best chips and gravy I had in years
We brought our 4 grandchildren there and loved all the food we ordered such as pogos, cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, poutine and fries!! Best chip stand in town which we visit everytime we are up in Sturgeon Falls which has been over 25 years
Delicious as always. Best fries and pogo in Northern Ontario.
Great pogos....great milkshake...good priced
Great Food, The Garlic Butter Steak Sandwich was out of this World Delicious!
Fast, courteous. Most important, the food was delicious.
Always great service and love the burgers and fries...best local chip stand!!
Great food at a good price
Always great food. I always stop on my way through.
The poga last visit was not good batter under cooked /today only a fry and pitine !
2nd time I've waited over an hour for 2 poutines should have just went to larry's across the street
We drive from kipawa Quebec just for a pogo n fry they are the Best!!! And we tried alot of chip stand They are #1
Happy, efficient service. Excellent food. Def stop in here if you're passing through Sturgeon Falls. (If you live there, you already know about it)
Love the food but Staff keeps us returning!!!
Everytime I go through sturgeon falls I have to stop for a poutine. One of the best places for them.
It was really good the service always been fast and the food I really enjoy they have lots of different items on their menu that you wouldn't think a chip stand would have they are really good to eat.
Great food everytime
It is especially fun to watch the lineup at the competing chip stand across the road and imagine it like some kind of gang type situation where you've taken a side and the other side is fundamentally wrong and you hate them for it but probably their poutine is good too. I wouldn't know cause I'm no traitor.
Fries and poutine are always good! Decided to try the fish, I wouldn't recommend it... didn't eat it.
Service is fast and friendly. Love the RIV burger. Kids are always impressed with poutine and pogos! New specials every week is an added welcomed feature!
Fast service and food is always good.
Drove out there just to get the pogo. Totally worth it. Got a good laugh out of the bathroom sign. :)
Always great food and service!
Good service and shakes and Sundays to die for will be going back for sure
Forgot my phone there. They kept the phone safe for me until I returned. Nothing was touched .Good staff.
Best fish and chips I’ve had in Sturgeon Falls. Staff was friendly and really good fries.
The best Italian Poutine I have ever had. Love this place
Always a treat to take drive to Riv and indulge In some delicious food!
Food very good. Friendly staff. Found a bit pricey but guess that keeps the riff raft away.
Amazing food and great prices. This is a must stop destination!
Bruno!!! All the deserts are so cool and tasty. Best pogos in da world.
Cheese curds and fries were great but they could work on the gravy
Great choice of fast food. The fries pogos and shakes the best. Friendly staff. Busy but waiting isn't long.
Excellent.. The Poutine was great, the whistle dog was super good and the raspberry milk shake is the best I ever had. Great all around. Worth driving 90 minutes to come here.
Outstanding poutine. Good fast delicious food.
Fabulous fresh cut fries and an array of other offerings I mean they even have funnel cake
Always great food and friendly staff.
I visit here from capreol Ontario. It's an hour and a half drive and worth it. Everything is so delicious! One of many summer road trips end here.
Awesome place and great service - good variety of choices aside from just fish and chips - the chips are awesome though!
Great service and yummy food! Even have me plum sauce for my poutine without a funny look lol!
From Sudbury, we make the Riv Chip Stand a destination every time we go to Sturgeon Falls. Best poutine ever ! Great portions and delicious !
Great service and good food.
Fast friendly service and the food is great!!
Deeelish! Loved the grilled chicken wrap. Nice quality and quantity. And the works poutine is great. Had bacon mushroom curds gray pemeale bacon
Yummy pogos and milkshakes.
I make it a point to stop here at least once a season. It is, in my opinion, the best chip stand in the area.
It's a ritual. On our way to the cottage we HAVE to stop at the RIV Chip Stand. That cone of fries drenched in vinegar and salt is truly what summer is all about. This chip stand is a landmark and an absolute staple of Sturgeon Falls.
Always a great experience and the food is freshly cooked as you wait
Consistently excellent food. Often has locally sourced ingredients for milkshakes. (Steak poutine & Pumpkin spice milkshake pictured)
This was the small poutine! Rich gravy, crunchy fries good amount of cheese. Definately the best poutine in the area! I'll be back.
For sure a great juicy burger, poutine was awesome also.
Always great food. Fair price as well. They never cheap out on gravy and cheese for poutines and mustard for pogos.
Usually really good fries but were not crispy today..okay but not crisp
Wasn't overly busy, but waited close to 20 minutes for two poutine.
I live in southern Ontario it’s the best place to get pogos, poutine and strawberry milkshakes. I’m heading up next weekend to North bay and I’m definitely heading there
Best poutine around! We drive from North Bay to get our fix!
Great food, service is very friendly. So much to choose from, it makes it hard lol. Because everything is so good.
Awesome as always! Cheeseburger, pogo, chicken fingers, and fries, all perfect! Thank you!
I drive 2 1/2 hrs round trip for their hand dipped pogo!!! AMAZING!!
Foods is good but paying 50cent to use the debit machine is pure robery , i will not eat there again because of the charges of debit machine , they sell enough food there that they should not cost money to use your debit card.
Absolutely delicious Poutine! I had the Great Canadian, I couldn't stop eating until I finished it. I will definitly be coming back here for more!
Great food. Good selection of fast food items. Very friendly staff. Fast service.
The best as always. The only thing is the nutts driving and parking. Come on people. One car taking two parking spots? Learn to park people!
Delicious pogos and poutine! Love the deep fried mars bars!
Tried new Taco Tuesday burger, alongside a poutine, excellent burger! Great place!
Best burger I've ever had
