The establishment definitely needs maintenance especially the bathrooms by the way the food was fair with the prices, the services was on point. The best part was the drinks and the music. Good job DJ ?

Food was ok. Service is ok but they seemed a bit disorganized. The place seems a bit dark and unclean.

I am leaving 1 star because I can’t leave zero. The “owner” was yelling at people and totally unprofessional. Very unnecessary as it was basically dead in there to begin with, I get why people do not go there.

We have known this place for about seven years. Over the past year, they have had difficulty maintaining the establishment's cleanliness. While the drinks are still fine and the service remains good, the place requires a cleaning.

Excellent steak fajitas, but chicken was lacking in the quesadilla appetizer. Drinks were mind expanding, and the price was reasonable. Had a great time , can't wait to go again !!!!

River and Rail has recently been my local go-to for a casual night out. The ambiance is very cute with lots of seating options indoors and outdoors. I usually sit at the bar with my friends, which is a great way to meet and mingle with new people. The prices are reasonable and their margaritas are delicious - all enough to keep me coming! My friends and I decided to take advantage of their Superbowl specials: half off appetizers and margaritas - what's better than that! We ordered the street corn, Rio Grande nachos, empanadas, and shrimp tacos for the table. We also ordered guacamole to go along with the complimentary chips. The appetizers were honestly mediocre at best - not very flavorful or fresh. The nachos in particular were not great - such a big portion and we barely made a dent between four people. The margaritas were sweeter than usual, but still delicious (and very large)! Definitely a great spot if your looking for a fun environment with good drinks for cheap! This is the first time I tried their food and didn't love it, but maybe just came on an off night for the kitchen.

I feel like every time I go to this restaurant, it gets a little worse. A previous experience I ordered fajitas which came out about 10 minutes after ordering and the food was barely warm and not very tasteful. In the past, the food has been a lot better , but the last few times, it hasn't been great at all. Due to the drinks being delicious in the past, I would still go however , this last visit , my margarita was extremely sour, giving me instant heartburn. I sent it back and ordered a flavored one and advised the bartender on how sour it was, in hopes he wouldn't have such a heavy hand on the sour mix. New drink, same results. This restaurant has so much potential to be great again however I am disappointed every time I go. The ambiance is great and The best thing on the menu are the chips and salsa (which are free).

This place was usually a great spot but the owners definitely dont take care of the place in cleanliness or maintenance. The bathroom is disgusting, broken stalls, ripped apart ceiling, smells. I have personally seen roaches at the bar on the glasses, dishes, computer screens.

Guy bartender was focusing more time on flirting with the girls that walked in and totally forgot to attend to the customers he already had. Dude literally forgot to look our way unless we called him. And his whole attitude changed.
