Review of River Ratz Saloon

River Ratz Saloon
Price range: ₱278 - ₱723
Description: We are a bar and grill with daily specials. Located right along the Mississippi River. Big bay windows to watch water wildlife: swans, ducks, eagles, beavers, etc. We are very reasonable on price and you won't leave hungry.

We were staying in the area to visit family and this was where we went for breakfast. Basic American comfort food in large portions. The tables are collocated with the bar which seemed busy no matter the time of day. Lots of locals ready to start a conversation and give you hints on fishing, hunting, politics, sports.....Buffalo City isn't a place you just happen to drive thru, but if your here the beer is cold and the pours are generous.

We sat inside since it was fairly chilly outside and we chose the table by the window that gave us a view of the backwaters of the Mississippi River. There really aren't any other tables with a view.

We went to lunch here based on a recommendation. We were told the wraps are really good. We aren't big on wraps and chose nachos and a reuben sandwich. The nachos were huge but mediocre. The reuben sandwich was on plain bread instead of rye. We were a little disappointed in the actual foods that we chose but maybe we chose wrong.

The owner is very nice. The signs all over the walls, inside and out were fun to read. And the view was great.

We participated in a fun run to raise money for cancer research. Even though the owner was going through a family situation he made the event fun for everyone who'd come to run. The place was packed but the food was as delicious as ever. Some of us had burgers & a few had appetizers and food still came out hot & quickly. These new owners have done a really nice job & we will return every time we come to Buffalo City. The menu has a lot to choose from so there's something for everyone, even kids. Good parking & easy to get to. Beautiful view of the river.

We eat here whenever we are in the area. Since our last visit there is new ownership. What a nice job they've done. The sandwiches we had for lunch were delicious & freshly made. I was told there'd be a short wait for my egg salad sandwich because they cook the eggs fresh. Worth the wait. The only problem was the sandwiches were bigger than expected so we had to wait a while longer to go back for the best fish fry ever. They were so busy. A really fun stop where there's lots of locals to chat with. Definitely will return. Good luck to the new owners!

I have always been the most comfortable in the bar. The newest owners have done a great job making this place their own. They have come up with a new name, and new ideas on the menu. Tom and Heather are always there to make sure the place is being run right. It is nice to see the owners there working right along with the staff. Two thumbs up for the River Ratz!
