Illinois Riverdock Restaurant

Plenty of parking ( and its by the river ). Pleasant smiles greeted and seated us. Menu had a good variety. Portions were grand. Food was hot, delicious, timely and, cooked to perfection. Pies looked great but we were all too full to order it ( sadly ). Service was perfect, we had a large group and server remembered every detail spot on. Needless to say we were sad to leave yet anxious to return. May the Good Lord richly bless you all.

It's ALL good at this place! It's a 72 mile drive for me, but it's a lovely one, and well worth it. Brisket is amazing, pies are wonderful, prices are great! Thinking of going there right now!

Always a great meal! Can't beat their catfish fritters! Their sweet potatoes with maple butter, omg so good! Pickled beets are good. Grilled catfish is also good. Haven't had anything that wasn't good, eating at River Dock. Pies are delicious! If you're wondering if you should try River Dock, yes, yes you should!

Friendly staff, view on the river and delicious food. I went there a few times when I was young (and it was called Mel's) so me and my brother planned a bike trip up there to eat again. Had the Angus river rat (1/2 lb American burger) it was incredible.

What a great place to stop in and have a meal. It's where the locals go. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. If your lucky you can score a place along the wall of windows to have a view of the water.
Stopped in and had biscuits and gravy. Served as one, two or four biscuits. Two was filling for me but I could have easily shoved two more in if I had them in front of me. The biscuits had a great texture and were not hard as rocks like some places. The gravy had a good flavor to them and definitely were not bland.
Great place to stop in and relax and have a great meal.

What a lovely family of ladies that sure know how to cook. I highly recommend the brisket and my husband said the walleye was amazing! The sweet potato chips were also delish. A lot of food for a good price and I had to get pie to go!

The sign says Mel’s Riverdock Restaurant!

We drive over an hour from west county St. Louis in order to come have breakfast here! Remember we have to leave by 9:30am because they stop serving breakfast by 11am!

We like to order their Ramp special with comes with your choice of meat, made to order eggs, potatoes & your choice of toast or biscuit.

I like getting bacon, scrambled eggs, with the American fries (today they were out do we got hash browns) & a biscuit. I get a side of gravy for my biscuit & potatoes! Then we split a short stack of pancakes with blueberry & whipped cream! Honestly we should only get one pancake but we drove over an hour to get there so we splurge! Their pancakes are huge!

If you have room for dessert after that try the pie! It’s delicious!

It’s right by the river so naturally there is a river dock! It’s been flooded lately so be safe driving out there!

Delicious food at hometown diner with riverside views. Extensive menu with friendly owner and attentive wait staff. Dessert case is a dream come true. Entrees are delicious with a wide variety of side dishes. Don't miss the Sunday Special and say hi to the resident hummingbirds!!

Great place to eat. Portions are ridiculous. Look at that pork tenderloin bigger than the plate, yes that’s a standard dinner plate. And the service is top notch. known for their homemade pies. A must see destination.

This was a pleasant surprise and we will be back. Their wings, catfish fritters and pork steak are so good. Definitely two thumbs up.

We love the food and the service here. The servers are just so friendly and they make sure everything gets to the table.

Had a great BLT and sweet potato chips. Everything was fresh made including the coconut cream pie for desert. Place was very clean, service was a sincere friendly. Glad we went for an early lunch. Started to get busy as we left.

The catfish and brisket were amazing. Service was fantastic. A lot of food for a fair price. I've gone with a big group or just my wife and I. Never had a bad meal.

Been going here my entire life and never a bad experience. I always recommend this place when people are in the area. Best food around!

Delightful home cooked food at its best! Polite, helpful servers, clean property, and sinfully(!) delicious pies! A must stop ✋ during Fall River Road tours.

We traveled for a Football game and needed a place for lunch and supper. We had such a great experience at lunch that we came back for supper. Very attentive wait staff, delicious food(especially the fish), their sides are unique and delicious. Prices are fair. Everyone was satisfied. We will be back!

Lindsey did a great job with our large group! The pulled pork special and coconut cream pie were awesome! Thank you

I love this place! Big portions! Right on the Illinois River. Family owned and friendly service!

Portions are always more than enough! The sweet potato chips with maple butter are my favorite 😍

We drove down from Hannibal MO and will be back. Service and Atmosphere where great, but the food is why we'll go back again!.
