"We love this place!!! The food is extremely tasty, and you can't beat the price! Daily specials are great, as well as the friendly, accommodating staff. We're from Minneapolis, however any trip we make within the vicinity of the restaurant will definitely include a meal at the River Inn"

If you enjoy beef and crave an awesome burger, cooked to perfection, you should try the River Inn in Scanlon, MN. They have a daily special, but you can't beat their 1/2 pound cheeseburger with fries."

"A great view of the river> The waitress insisted the Philly cheesesteak was great, but I was skeptical, having had so many lousy ones in over 40 years. It tied as the best Philly I've ever had including the original cheesesteak at Geno's in Philadelphia. We enjoyed the story of the bar being flooded out earlier this year also."

"The place was reccomended to me as a good place for lunch. Had a grilled chicken sammich and fries with a water to drink. Food served hot and fresh. Portion size ample. 7 bucks plus a tip. I usually do not get excited about pickles. But these are amazing pickles. Sure. Give these guys a try."
