Riverside Family - Ottumwa

3 eggs, 3 generous pieces of bacon with a mountain hash brown and 3 pancakes with real butter for 8.50 can?t beat this! Fast and friendly service good people.

Stopped in for a late breakfast. Large menu with a lot of selections. Had country fried steak and a couple over easy eggs. Those were just fine. The hash browns weren't. Looked like the cook burnt them on one side. They were dark brown almost black. He just stirred the burnt and good remaining potatoes all together. I tried to eat the better white part of it, but gave up. The service was good. Employees were friendly and accommodating.

The avocado toast was deliciousness to the second power! A wheat toast with a large fresh tomato slice, huge amounts of creamy avocado, feta cheese, and two sunny side eggs on the side, that I incorporated into my toast. You need to try it! Pat the waitress was very attentive and kind, as all the rest of the employees have been to us during the last three days that we've been coming. I highly recommend this place!

Hubby and I found this place on Google! (Thanks Google) It was a little busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted and seated immediately. They have an extensive menu and serve soup daily. We ordered breakfast. I ordered the steak skillet, which was absolutely amazing. My hubby got a build you own omelet. We split a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy (only served til 2pm) it is THE BEST sausage gravy I've ever had!! And the pancakes were phenomenal!! We will definitely be back!!!

No pretence. Riverside does not pretend to be anything other than a solid place for classic dishes done the way you would expect. The decor is legit retro; the way o like it!
