Riverwatch Bar & Grill - Bar & grill in Chimney Rock - 379 Main St, USA

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Server never let our drinks run low, had the fried pickles and mushrooms and they were stellar. Got the hottie burger it lacked little salt but otherwise it was amazing. Walking in we weren't greeted but it is a Sunday and off season so i get it. We will be back!!!!!

Fun, clean & friendly environment. Our waitress Elisha was quite delightful and accommodating! Our cups were never empty! Food was so good. My hubby said it’s the best burger he’s had in a long time. He had the Smokehouse burger, I had a the maui burger… If we ever make our way back here, we will definitely eat at the Riverwatch Bar & Grill again. 👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful location on the Broad River in Chimney Rock Village. Excellent service and a very good burger. Interior decor is nice, you practically walked thru the kitchen and the outside deck is marvelous. Look almost straight up and see Chimney Rock! Amazing view. I had to add that the Fried Pickles were the BEST I’ve ever had, bar none.

It’s alright. Great view of chimney rock if you’re on the patio, but that’s pretty much the entire town along the river. River watch has a huge menu focused on burgers, but man if it isn’t HIGH. You’ll pay an arm and a leg for a mediocre burger in this mountain town. Service was insanely slow - at one point during our visit, not one single person on the patio had food. To be fair, you can see the fella cooking the burgers to order from the street, but still pretty inexcusably slow. Food is fine but unremarkable.

What a great restaurant this is! The views are amazing! You can admire Chimney Rock State Park from the terrace of the restaurant. But also, you can enjoy the view of the river running right in front of you. The decoration of the restaurant is vintage. It has a cool bar with good craft beers. The options to eat are delicious! All of the patties are tasty and big, and the toppings are fresh. I would definitely come back with my family.

Went to river watch after spending our time in a nearby spot. This place is located on a Main Street, parking is on the street. There is no charge for the parking. There is a hostess in the front that went to clean a table for us, im assuming they were busy. The tables in the front were full, we were seated in the patio outside with the lake view that was beautiful. Definitely recommend this place to eat outside with the view. There is plenty of options on the menu mostly burgers 🍔. I ordered the Jalapeño melt and sweet Potatoe fries. The fries were cold, other than that my meal was good. It did take a while for our food to come out from the kitchen estimated 30+ min. They were near closing time, possibly that is why.

Riverwatch Bar & Grill in Chimney Rock, NC, is a hidden gem by the river. Dining by the water was simply amazing. The Hawaiian burger was bursting with flavor, complemented perfectly by a cold brew. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. This place is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Five stars!

I am sorry to say I was dissatisfied and disappointed with my meal,but my wife enjoyed hers.I had a mushroom burger with onion rings,the burger was one of the driest I have ever had,and it hardly had any mushrooms on it.The onion rings were so soggy and limp that it was hard to eat them.They also ran out of the sweet tea I was drinking.We came in at around 4:15 and I was told they close at 5:00 so they didn’t want to make and waste the tea,which I can understand,but to charge me $15.00 for a dry burger and limp,greasy onion rings is not right. Maybe because it was a holiday and everyone wanted to go home the food wasn’t good and the service lacking.We are locals,it was the first and probably the last time we dine at this establishment.
