River Grill At the Alisal - Breakfast restaurant in Solvang - 150 Alisal Rd, USA

10/22/23 Update: Food was very good, onion rings we're among the best ever, but service was beyond slow. Prices keep creeping up in this golf course grill, but the food is very good and it's hard to beat the chill atmosphere on their outside patio. A great escape from the tourists and congestion of Solvang. The menu is pretty limited but the quality is excellent. My $20 salmon salad was very tasty although a bit overcooked. The $19 chicken salad was excellent. Beers are tourist town pricey as well but they have a good selection including local brews. I'll be back.

This was our first visit. Nice rustic restaurant with a beautiful peaceful looking view of the golf course green. Great quick service. The food was delicious and ample amount. The Bloody Mary included a thick spicy bacon slice plus plenty of olives, yummy. No complaints we had an enjoyable lunch, the price was normal for Santa Barbara and we will be returning next week.

The service was lovely, everyone was kind and accommodating. The food was tasty and not overpriced for the area. The views and atmosphere were peaceful and sincere. Highly recommend!

Absolutely a must for locals and tourists alike. A refreshing dining option away from the crowds and traffic on a busy Solvang weekend. You simply cannot beat the view of the hills and canyons from the patio on a sunny day... unless the huge cozy fireplace inside is more your vibe! The food is always spot on, fresh, and filling. Breakfast classics are available all day on the weekends including eggs benedict and loaded bloody Mary's, mimosas and a few other fun "breakfast cocktails". Lunch and dinner options are timeless and there's always something for everyone. Blue Plate Specials are fun and different every Thursday and Friday night during their Late Night seating. What I love most about River Grill is that it's great for so many occasions- brunch with the girls, a quick solo lunch, dinner with the family, or beers on tap while sitting at the bar during the game. Staff are wonderful and make sure you are happy and taken care of. Great establishment here in the valley!

The food at the River Grill was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and our company was great. We shared their tortilla soup which was spicy and creamy and so very good. My husband had a club sandwich and onion rings, which were amazing. I had fish tacos and fries which were very good as well. We thought about dessert but probably should have had it first, because we were too full to even look at the menu. A lovely place for lunch.

Nestled in the beautiful mountains on a golf course of a quaint town. I appreciate the fact that they are open during covid for outdoor seating. I called in for a reservation and a very friendly guy booked us for the time requested. After taking some pics in their beautiful rose garden, we were seated promptly on our reserved table. The service was prompt. Food was served in ginormous portions by friendly servers and everything tasted great. Menu prices were much lower than expected. I highly recommend this restaurant for brunch.

This is a "locals favorite" with gorgeous views over the Alisal River Public Golf Course and mountains behind it. Gourmet food at great prices. Excellent live music on Thurs. and Friday nights. Sunset views over the balcony...inside and outside dining with appropriate social distancing. Vegans can adjust salads, and fries are vegan friendly.

Been going to RG for 40 years. Worst hamburger ever! Smelled & tasted rotten. Sent it back. 2nd one not any better! Staff laugh at it! Waitress told me it was a cheap meat they serve as sliders during social hour. Then way was I served it at 6pm as a dinner?? They used to have quality food. The blue plate special of pork burritos other people had were just ok. Not much meat inside but plenty of lettuce, rice & beans. Shame on you, Alisal River Grill for purchasing cheap disgusting meat. Remember this is a small town & you are catering to many locals. Word will get around!
