Upriver Grill & Taproom

Stopped by for lunch, greeted and sat promptly (we picked outside). Rustic decor and menus provided a cozy ambience. Started with garlic parmesan wings which were not very crunchy, sauce was bold and had overall good flavor. Tried a buffalo burger and liked the natural sweetness and depth of the meat, compared to husbands burger (beef) the buffalo was more flavorful on its own. Got a raspberry lemonade and French 75 cocktail, both weren’t very strong and not overly sweet.

We ate here for dinner on 05/09 and 5/10/26. On 05/09 we arrived shortly before closing. The atmosphere was quiet and the server, Bre was extremely friendly. The service was fantastic. We ordered burgers and I asked for my fries 5x crispy. The cook adhered to my request and honestly exceeded my expectations. The burgers were stellar. Well assembled, not overly greasy, patties slightly charred at the edges and they didn’t fall apart. Reasonably priced as well. Exactly what we were looking for, exceeding expectations for a small town, local restaurant. Service and food were so good we returned on 5/10. This time we ordered a pizza, burger and onion rings. The pizza dough was pretty undercooked on the bottom. The crust was done well however. I will give the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to a fluke as the service remained amazing and the rest of the food was outstanding. The burger maintained its rating from the previous days meal. The onion rings were fantastic. Perfectly fried and crispy/crunchy. I was able to break them in half/bite off a piece and the breading remained stuck to the onion. Also, if you’re a Bigfoot enthusiast, this is your kind of place (I’m a Bigfoot enthusiast). Overall a fantastic experience. Shoutout to Bre for being a wonderful server. To the cook, keep doing what you’re doing because that was food was delightful. 10/10 recommend.

Burgers were great and the server was amazing. He was killing it and was managing to bar tend, serve table and take care of everyone. We will definitely be back. The food is on the pricier side, but well worth it. Try the salmon sandwich with the aioli, tomatoes and arugula. Delicious!!!

This place has absolutely amazing burgers. I had the burger with blue cheese and it was fabulous and I also had one of the pale ales and it tasted absolutely delicious after a long day of hiking and the atmosphere was also just about perfect. Would highly recommend if you are in the area. We liked it so much that we were there for four days and we ate there twice.

We decided to stop here for a bite to eat after a hike and it was absolutely delicious. Burgers were so good, grilled to perfection, home made Mac and cheese, one of the best I’ve had. Very friendly staff. I even got a brownie on the house for Mother’s Day! All around great experience!
