tdunder Bay River Restaurant in Alpena

Wonderful Service, got my food quickly and it was delicious!

Staff was great food was wonderful!

Food Great, Service even Better.

Get the perch it is a must, very very delicious. As soon as you walk in the history is there. Saloon type doors a lighthouse type room and the seating by the river...... killer visuals

Really great place to eat with friendly staff. The food was good with large portions. I really like the rustic decor that is both tasteful and fit's Alpena's northern charm.

Dani was a great waitress and very kind and encouraging to us. Would love to go back

The Polish menu is great!

Great. Corn and potato chowder was excellent, meatball sub. So good .

Food was fast and good. Service was great with very nice staff.

Great setting, super service, will come back.☺️

You never know what you did here always good

Decided to give them another try. Service was better. But, food wasn't.Ordered chicken strips, they looked good but didn't taste that way. They tasted like fish. Found out they use the same oil as there fish. Cold slaw was warm, like it had been sitting out. After eating here I didn't feel well. Very pricey!! I don't recommend going here!!!!

The food came out hot fast and was delicious. They have a great selection on the menu and great prices. Definitely would recommend!!

I never post reviews, good or bad, but this has to be shared. Our server was snarky and rude, and very unhelpful. The food was dry, cold, and bland. The all you can eat cod was rock hard. We waited 15 minutes for drinks and there was only a couple other tables that were there. Later found out that our server was out back smoking, which explains the check up once every 20 minutes. We were perfectly pleasant with her, and tipped her, as we should. Overall a very unpleasant experience, DO NOT COME HERE. (My group also left with a few of us with upset stomachs, presumably from the food).

Very friendly. Cork & go wine. Excellent staff. One of our group needed an ambulance. I've never seen such a quick response for requesting 911 call.You were awesome!

Food was great, employees were great and very fast service. Can't wait to go back again.

They deep fry fish and chicken in same oil. If you have any fish allergies beware. Food good. Beer cold great River view. Good soup

The burger was great. Definitely a fresh burger. Got the wrong side. They immediately got me the right side. Someone in our party got the pulled pork. They really enjoyed it. Another person from the party got chicken strips. They thought they was a little to much breading. Breaded mushrooms were good

The Chicken Cesar wrap and French Fries were great! Service was good.

Delicious! Roast beef Drago sandwich was huge and delicious! Service was great!

This is a very nice restaurant located on the beautiful Thunder Bay only minutes away from the city center. The food was great and reasonably priced. We came in here when they were doing 50% off appetizers, and they were great. The regular prices (about $7-$8) would've been a good price judging on how much you got in one order. The main dishes were just a good as the appetizers, and all of the dishes featured locally sourced ingredients. Lastly, the staff here were incredible and provided great food recommendations. Thank you so much, we will be back!

We came in for all you can eat fish the other night (great price great food by the way). But what was really important was our server. She made the whole experience worth coming back. I could’ve gotten awful food and I would still come back just to see her! She said her name was Ashley and she had us laughing from the moment we walked through the door. She was fun and energetic and polite! She kept smiles on our faces and hers and even though they were decently busy our service never lacked! Will be back and will be requesting Ashley!!! Absolutely amazing!

Great service and good food. Beautiful view

Burger of the day (queso burger) absolutely fantastic. Service quick and friendly, great views.

Good food and great service!

There are approximately 8 items on the dinner menu. The crab ragoons are delicious.

Excellent service great food

This is an interesting place. New Polish- leaning menu with meats sourced by local restaurants. Food was good. $2 margaritas, but only on the rocks... they strangely charge $3 extra ($5 total) for blending it. Odd. Had GREAT service from Hanna. Enjoyed the Club Sandwich with Tater Tots for lunch. Delicious Cole slaw! I'll be back.

I felt like Prime Rib tonight and the Courtyard was packed. Called Thunder Bay River Restaurant and he said Prime Rib was on special tonight! What Luck! How wrong I was!Pulling in and being the only car in the parking lot on a busy Saturday night is surely a warning sign that I did not heed. Walking in and finding not another customer in the restaurant should have been a another warning sign! Probably the worst prime rib I have ever had! Service was assuredly quick with all the microwave ovens beeping coming from the kitchen. Mashed potatoes were old and tasted a bit off. I heard the cook tell the waitress that he gave me Turkey gravy instead of beef and scooped out most of the Turkey gravy and substituted the beef gravy mostly. Only about half of the cut of prime rib should have been edible if it were cooked properly the rest was grizzle and inedible matter.Gave it another shot, still BAD!

Very nice place on the river to eat. Nice views over look the river to eat. Wide variety of meals at reasonable prices and good service make this a great place to eat.

Country steak omelet was awesome. Great service and great portions for good prices.

The food is great! They make their own strawberry and blueberry jam. It's delicious! You can order a glass of wine with dinner. Great service too.

Waitress was great, ordered the Southern burger well done came out pink sent back crust was hard inside was still pink for the price the meal wasn't worth it.

Everything was delicious!! Pulled Pork Nachos, Cowboy Burger and Gyro. Definitely going back.

Great lighting and comfortable vibes for a wonderful lunch! :)Ordered the seafood platter for a massive meal at a great price. Server was kind and very helpful in answering questions. Food came out quickly and was still warm when served. Give it a visit!

We went for new year's eve dinner. Crab legs and prime rib were offered, it was ok for the most part, could have been warmer, but. 25.00 per person and sodas were Not included.

Nice place. Was an old Big Boy at one time, but these folks serve beer and wine along with a small, but VERY GOOD variety of food. Had the Pulled Pork Sandwich basket, with optional onion rings. If you are an onion ring lover, you will think you died and went to heaven here. They have a Meat Loaf dinner that's first rate as well. Located in Alpena, right on the Thunder Bay River. Yummy!

Waitress was very sweet. I believe the cook should make sure the food looks good before sending it out. It clearly was partially burnt. I realize that is not always easy and I do believe this is not a common occurrence.

Great food! We love popping in for a bite to eat here. The food is always good. We've never had anything we don't like!

Ok food. Fast service. View of river.

Great food, great prices, and a friendly staff

Iconic food to match this iconic Alpena location overlooking the water. Beautiful views and great food and safe service! #PolishFoodRocks

Good solid choice for breakfast. Had the Polish Falcon omelette. Loved the homemade blueberry jam and the view of the river. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Lots of locals eat here.

Very pleasant people, nice atmosphere, inexpensive, great view over the river

Outstanding food, could come here 10 times and get something great every time. Service was great too! Definitely recommend!

I was surprised to find out this was a Polish restaurant, very good sausage and krout

Very clean and Covid-19 free. Watched the waitresses sanitize at any given opportunity. The rest of the time they provided me great service. Everyone had their masks on even the cooks! Great place to visit and to enjoy a meal. Thank you TBRR!

Excellent food, excellent service at excellent prices!! Can't beat the experience

Good menu options, food was great. Our waitress was awsome. Beer selection was ok.

Extremely impressed, super fast.
