"Highly recommend! (Heads up- this is a *cash only* restaurant, but dont let that deter you!!) Very friendly staff! Amazing Food!! They do not scimp on ingredients!! I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Omelette with a side of hashbrowns and my husband ordered The Bushy Omelette. So Good!!"

- Chrise H.

"Very tasty breakfast with LARGE portions! My waiter (think he was the owner) ALWAYS made sure my coffee cup was full. I never had to ask for a refill! As far as my picture of my motorcycle with my kayak? Quite fitting that I should happen to find a riverside restaurant! "

- Mark M.

"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!"

- Sara G.

"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."

- Mike R.

"Always the best food and servers that make you feel like family! I had a Polish sausage and a chocolate chip pancake and it was delicious! All of their food is good and you'll never leave there unhappy!"

- Michelle O.

"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."
