Riverside Restaurant

It is a smokey old diner and a local institution. The food is served on “thick” china. No WiFi but they take debit cards. This is hollowed ground for our neighbors that enjoy a cigarette with their meal. The menu is short order. Very friendly waitress.

I have been coming here Since I was a Toddler, I am 33 years old now, and I have Never had a Negative Experience at this place. And it hasnt changed a bit in all those years, Also this is one of the last REAL Old fashioned Diners you will find with that atmosphere that reminds you of the the Good ole days.. I LOVE this place and I will eat here until the day I die,, Or the day they close their doors. And I hope they never do!

Great food prices were not to bad. Smoking inside cought me off guard. Clean nice place.

It was just as I remembered it as a young college student, awesome!

Excellent food and service. Been there a few times and have never been disappointed

Riverside Restaurant is a cute little dive to visit in the Downtown heart of Florence, Al. Its been a solid and consistent place to get an awesome Cheeseburger and Fries (the Best*) for over 30 years...and Im proud to say they havent changed one bit since I was a little girl when my Daddy would bring me in to eat, play the jukebox and play various Pac Man and Pinball machines back in the day. Sad to see those machines go but even more disappointed that the Ole Faithful Juke is gone too. Wont stop me from visiting though! Love the fact that you can still smoke a cigarette (for us old fashioned Gen X'ers who still light up) and drink a hot and decent cup of coffee Love my Riverside Restaurant! #DontchangeaThing#BringBackJukeboxLoveTheDirtySpoonLook
