I was not especially excited to meet coworkers here for a celebratory supper. The slight pretentiousness of its reputation was a turn off, and I really rather not pay $33 for one meal. However ( a big however), it was the best meal I've had at a restaurant ever. The menu is packed with delicious sounding plates, so it was... More

You can usually count on an excellent meal at Rivertown Bistro with a menu that offers interesting choices from appetisers to desserts and provides alternatives for vegetarians that exceed the norm at most other places. The chef likes to experiment with unique ingredients that offer your palate some delectable surprises. However, if you are in any way dissatisfied, your server... More

Recently, my wife and I had lunch at Rivertown Bistro, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. From the outside, the restaurant is very unassuming, and I even wondered out loud whether it was open. Once inside, it was quite nice, with all of the seating, both chairs and booths, featuring nicely cushioned backs and bottoms. We were there... More

We went there after a long day of driving. The ambiance was excellent. We had four different dishes but we shared them all. I had the Shrimp and Sausage dish, it had grits and cheese with grilled vegetables. It was tasty and the vegetables were tender. My friend had the pasta with a white wine cream sauce, with shrimp and... More

While looking for a booklight at Target in Myrtle Beach, the sales attendant made a recommendation for dinner... "excellent low country cooking in Conway, just a short way up on SC 501, the second street on the left after the new bridge" is the Rivertown Bistro. Conway is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina; created in 1734 along... More

Although we expected a river front view, the interior is decorated nicely. We went for lunch on a Saturday and they were very busy. We had great service. This restaurants has Blue Plate specials each day. Saturday's was Chicken on a Biscuit with Sausage Gravy. It was huge! Cooked perfectly, the exterior was seasoned and crunchy, the interior nice and... More
