Really great place to eat with friendly staff. The food was good with large portions. I really like the rustic decor that is both tasteful and fit’s Alpena’s northern charm.

Good solid choice for breakfast. Had the Polish Falcon omelette. Loved the homemade blueberry jam and the view of the river. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Lots of locals eat here.

I felt like Prime Rib tonight and the Courtyard was packed. Called Thunder Bay River Restaurant and he said Prime Rib was on special tonight! What Luck!

Decided to give them another try. Service was better. But, food wasn’t.

This is a very nice restaurant located on the beautiful Thunder Bay only minutes away from the city center. The food was great and reasonably priced. We came in here when they were doing 50% off appetizers, and they were great. The regular prices (about $7-$8) would’ve been a good price judging on how much you got in one order. The main dishes were just a good as the appetizers, and all of the dishes featured locally sourced ingredients. Lastly, the staff here were incredible and provided great food recommendations. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Went for breakfast and left after waiting over an hour and not getting our food yet. Watched multiple tables of people walk out without waiting for their food. Every kid in the restaurant was being walked around with their parents, including my nephew who is 2. Tired of waiting in their highchairs. Our waitress took our food order and we didn’t see her again at our table. We asked another waitress for a kids menu and crayons, she never brought them. When the table next to us left he came to our table and said, “good luck.” People were standing at the entrance over 15 minutes waiting to be seated or even greeted. Terrible experience. Good food and location but definitely needs better waitresses.
