Rivers Edge Inn - Dixon (IL)

5 /5 DANIEL LARSON: Another trip out of Rockford, IL to check this place out after seeing a post and pics of a pork tenderloin sandwich, HUGE that actually looked great! So here the little sister and I go, oh, and the Frenchy and Olde Bulldogs lol. So, we arrive a bit after 7, packed, parked, took couple photos, Nikki went in and ordered, checked it out, couple pics, went back in after the food. I will say WOW, Pork Tenderloin, huge, juicy, not over done, the batter OMG, made the entire pork tenderloin. The tenderloin itself was fabulous, tender, good thickness, GREAT batter to tenderloin balance and wala, the great pork tenderloin. 9 out of 10, I have NOT rated higher yet just to make that rating clear. Now, on to the French fries, 10 out of 10, does just not get much better than these, perfect light crunch, potatoes DONE, not undercooked!!! Lastly, the coleslaw Hmmmmmm, cant get a handle on it but damn it is unique, delicious, and could almost be considered the ultimate healthy desert as well. A slight bite but sweetness overtakes but this two part backend palette taste is just hmmmmm, all together so flipping awesome 10 out of 10 on this coleslaw and lord do not change it. We will return.

5 /5 Steve Johnson: Great place for a meal while sitting by the Rock River. Recently we watched eagles during our dinner. Food is great and the menu has plants of choices. Soup is always great and the salad bar is wonderful. Service is excellent. Pleasant and attentive.

4 /5 Dale Luttrell: I ordered the Breaded Pork Tenderloin, it is hand pounded with a nice beer batter topping and lightly seasoned with basic salt and pepper, it is big enough for 2 sandwiches for sure. My wife had a stock cheese burger with all the toppings, it was done to her liking. We also had the combo plate appetizer with mushrooms and cheese sticks both were good served with marinara sauce and ranch dressing. The portions were comparable to the price. The only negative thing was our server had a long night and it was showing.

4 /5 Lisa Clark: Went to the bar to wait for a table …got our first drinks then proceeded to watch the bartender hike her foot up on the cooler showing a customer her bunions touching her feet and shoes …in the meantime I was ready for another drink …one of the waitresses stepped up beside me and I told her what we just saw, and the bartender did not wash her hands. She came over to ask me if I wanted another drink, and I told her that she needed to wash her hands because we just watched her touch her feet and her shoes. Response was “oh I didn’t even think anything about it” and got hand sanitizer, not soap and water. The waitress must’ve went and told somebody and the bartender proceeded to tell me that if I had a problem with her, I needed to just speak with her, not tell her staff and talk shit about her. Needless to say when we went to our table for dinner, we didn’t order any more drinks from her. We ordered deep fried pork chops, meatloaf, special, and deep-fried cod dinner. Everything was very good and our waitress Savana was great !

5 /5 Eat, Shop, Explore Illinois: This place is very unassuming. It doesnt look like much and is located in a neighborhood on the Rock River. The view is amazing and the food is really, really good! We had the pork tenderloin and it was one of the best weve had. Definitely homemade with a nice breading. Worth the trip!
