It’s unique, you can feel like you’re at an outdoor venue with entertainment, awesome food, welcoming staff, great beers, and you can run free to the river and chill in a hammock! Good luck finding a better burger anywhere!!!

Good food, good service. They are currently building some more kitchen and bar capacity for their weekend shindigs. Evidently there is an Irish festival this weekend and they frequently have live bands. We'll have to come back and try their dinner fare.

Family went there today and we had a great time. It's a perfect little getaway for a few hours. The food was great, and the ambiance was just as good. While driving out, we said to ourselves, "We might as well check it out. Who knows when we'll be out here again." Well, I can't wait to go back. We'll bring friends next time. The vibe is wonderful. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces.

I love this place you feel like it's a country outdoor shindig! I know it's a little awkward because it's inside of the RV park but actually it was a brilliant idea and it just works! I was surprised that the food was definitely several steps up from normal barbecue. The restaurant was very clean, newly built, and the staff was excellent. They have live entertainment on an outside stage so the kids and your friends, and really feel like you're in the middle of nowhere enjoying a concert or karaoke! This is my new hangout. I'll see you guys later on today.

Arrived on Wednesday at 11am with a party of 7. Sat outside in the patio area. We were promptly greeted and helped.The food is fantastic with a with a simple and hearty flavor. Portions are plenty ample. The brisket sandwich is juicy and seasoned perfectly. The homemade BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy. Side order of onion rings had a perfect crunch. Overall great bang for the buck. The outdoors setting is a nice getaway from the over populated areas of SCV. Great place for burgers and beer too!Parking: Parking area is not paved asphalt, compacted dirt and gravel.Wheelchair accessibility: No ramps, but an easy to navigate half step up to patio/ porch dining area.

This Bbq restaurant is the real deal!! I consider myself a Bbq "expert" and Rivers End Bbq did not disappoint. Try their beef ribs!

Had lunch here today! It was SO great! Ordered the smoked turkey sandwich...best turkey sandwich I've ever tasted! Turkey breast was flavorful and juicy, crisp bacon, tomatoes, avocado, a little Mayo on a brioche bun. Had the tri-tip salad too...very tasty! With onions, which didn't overpower the other amazing tastes...tri-tip was pepper-edged. Janet was our wait-staff...she was friendly, efficient and gave all her amazing service with a smile! Can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu!

This was my first time here & we will definitely be back! They had a band today from 2:00-5:00 and they were great. I think the place didn't realize how many people they were going have. It was packed. We were lucky to get a table and have Kyle as our waiter. The food & service was great! We had the jalapeño poppers, hamburgers, and the 50/50 platter with brisket & pulled porked with the incredible Mac & cheese! This is definitely a hidden gem.
I've been her 2 times The first time was lunch on a week day. I was excited to give a great BBQ. I was so disappointed. The brisket was served cold. The sides weren't great and the cornbread was dry and cold. When I found out they had only been open 6 months I figured they were still figuring things out. I decided to go again on a Saturday night. It's a 35 minute drive for me. Again I tried the brisket. COLD and the onion rings. COLD. THIS PLACE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL. They even had a great band and it was busy. The staff is wonderful. I hope they make it. I'm a bit picky as I'm a good cook.

Bummed about the experience because I was really looking forward to trying River's End! Might've just been an odd day. It's an approachable spot with great customer service and no fuss decor. We (4) dropped in a little before 4 pm on a Saturday. I had the brisket plate with potato salad and mac and cheese, plus a blonde Lucky Luke's beer. Other orders included the black & blue burger, baked beans, onion rings, as well as the daily special: ribs. The good: the beer selection is ideal with a little something for everyone. They also have seltzers and fun mixed drinks (without hard liquor). The potato salad is amazing and 5 stars by itself, with a large portion. They have two table side options for BBQ sauce, one is sweet and the other is a bit more vinegar heavy. Both sauces pair nicely with the brisket, which was moist and fatty. The cornbread was also delicious and perfectly sweet. The portions overall are quite hefty! The not so good: The mac and cheese and the brisket came out cold/Luke warm, which was unfortunate (especially since they really weren't busy). The honey butter for the cornbread was rock solid and wasn't exactly spreadable or enjoyable with the room temp cornbread. Oh, plus the brisket plate wasn't customizable - burnt end, dry, moist - you get what you get. The prices aren't exactly family friendly (but when is good BBQ affordable?). Overall, I'd like to come back and enjoy a hot plate of food.

Amazing food. Great service from "red." Definitely the best bbq in Santa Clarita! They smoke on site so you can see the magic that that are creating with that brisket.

This is a hidden gem for sure. A nice little place for locals to have a burger or whatever else you like. Had the pleasure of speaking with Elenie, I think she is the manager. Such a nice lady and made us feel at home. Our server, Janet provided great service and also helped us decide what to get. The burger and tri-tip sandwich were great. Also tried the churro chips and deep fried cornbread desserts and they were delicious. Definitely a place I will come back to.

Hello everyone.Welcome to Rivers End Rv Park, pub, and BBQ. This place really is a hidden jem. This is a great place for a weekend getaway. The RV Park has great parking spots just a walking distance away from the Santa Clara River. If you are hungry and driving by, stop and try out the BBQ. I recommend the BBQ ribs. The Rivers End has live entertainment for the pub and a stage for larger events. There's plenty of parking for passersby. This place is dog friendly. ?. They accept cash and card. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for reading my review. Please follow me on Google maps and check out the places I visit.Parking: Plenty of parking for passersby.Kid-friendliness: There's a playground for the kids.
