Got there on a Friday and waited almost a half hour for a table, which was understandable. Our waiter was TJ and he was pretty helpful, especially with the beer selection. Tired to take me out of my comfort zone of trying "safe beers", which I appreciated.
My husband ordered some type of sub and I ordered seafood pizza and French onion soup.
The sandwich was decent, but had its limitations. Bread was just ok, but being toasted helped cover up its flaws. The meat tasted very good, but didn't come with a whole lot of meat, however it was still filling (hubby's take on it). I feel like it was mostly just bread. Would have been a great sandwich if there was more meat. As far as fries are concerned, they weren't that great. I guess you could call them crispy, but there was really no flavor, and drenching them in ketchup/ranch is really the only way to truly enjoy them. I wish they offered a beer battered fry, or something with a thicker texture (to me they compare very similarly to Primanti's fries).
My seafood pizza was tasty and came with a generous amount of seafood on it. However, I was pretty disappointed when I did not taste any crabmeat, which is usually the favorite part of this pizza for me. As I started eating it, I noticed that there was cod in place of the crab meat. I asked our server if this was something new and he said he was not aware of any changes to the menu, however I can guarantee you that this was not the same pizza I have been ordering for years. Slightly disappointed because of that and probably will not order this pizza again because crab trumps fish, in my opinion.
Bathrooms were small and OK. Wouldn't quite call them clean, but they were clean enough to be used. Parking was really tight, and I had to park in a non-space just to go inside. Rivertown has always been one of our favorite places to visit, but we were just a little underwhelmed this time.
