I'm new to the Oconto area and I went to check out River city one day and I am glad I did. I think the food is delicious and the staff is very nice. And I have always been treated with respect from the staff. I rate this place 10 /10

I met my brother and sister for lunch and the food was delicious! I did not expect the delicious baked beans with brisket mixed in them,
also great role slaw.
I had the haddock and it was plenty of food. 🙂
We met on a weekday and were able to visit for quite a long time, we felt no pressure to hurry and leave the table. They even suggested we have pie afterward! Highly recommend 👌

On a road trip and stopped by on chance. Over all it was pretty good. The only reason for the 4 stars on the food was because we ordered cheese curds as an appetizer and they were a bit on the cold side. It wasn't horrible, and we made due.

We arrived 1 hour before the closing time and were treated well. The burgers were delicious and the pie was pretty tasty.

Overall pleasant experience.

I recently visited the River City Diner & Smokehouse at 805 Brazeau Ave, in Oconto, WI. I always like eating here. I ordered a ueberru pancake. The service was great and the ladies kept my coffee cup full. The pancake was delicious..I got a chance to say hello to Ms..Caroline and talked about her pies. If I'm the area, make sure you come by and make sure you get a piece of whole pie. The special.of.this month is black raspberry and one whole.pie.came home with me. A great place.

We liked the sound of the name of the place. Because we like brisket in our breakfast, so we seeked them out from online as we were passing thru. Breakfast was quick and HUGE!! Debbie was our server and she was both courteous and knowledgeable.
We stumbled upon a National Award Winning Pie maker and we did not know it until we walked in. The pie case was very impressive right when we walked in!! Then we saw the first place ribbons adorning the wall and the pie case…. National Pie Council first place blue ribbons!! Nice. Congratulations!!
Had brisket in my stuffed hash browns. Was delish. All our breakfast’s were delish.
When done eating, Debbie asked if we would like a slice of pie to top it off. We checked out the pie menu. Wish I would have taken a pic of that. We ordered a slice of pie and two whole pies!! Strawberry Rhubarb, MMMMMMM. Great filling and the flakiest crust ever!!
We got a caramel apple and a lemon meringue to go.
Debbie packaged it all up for travel for us. Debbie was definitely a pie pusher. Lol. Ok, she is good at upselling. And that is not a bad thing. And a good server.
Pro Tip: order your regular breakfast, but save room for pie!!

Our server was very pleasant and timely. The restaurant seemed a little outdated, but it was clean and had a homey hometown kind of feel to it. The food itself left a lot to be desired. I ordered a two meat plate with chopped brisket and pork belly with a baked potato and cornbread. The corn bread was fine, and the pork belly was awesome. The brisket was stiff and crunchy, and the baked potato had been in the warmer to long to serve. I meant to tell my server she should never take a plate out that looked like that, but I forgot. She was fairly young, so I gave her a break about it and still tipped her well. They adjusted my total from a 2 meat plate to a 1 meat plate. Now I wonder if I would have been served more pork belly on a 1 plate meal than a two meat. I feel like I got a very bad deal all the way around there. I definitely will not be going back.

I highly recommend that unless you want to waste your time double checking their work, go elsewhere. Spare yourself the headache.

Never in my life have I seen a restaurant ran this way, 3 waitresses, 2 waiters, all taking food off the buffet and eating at the counter in between taking orders, and bringing food to the table. At one point one of the waiters, took a piece of dessert off the buffet, bit into it right over the buffet and continued to eat, UGH!!! never seen any of them wash their hands in between bites. And best yet, just sat around talking, eating, while we waited 1 hour for our food. Restaurant was only 1/2 to 2/3rds full, so you would of thought we wouldn't of had to wait that long!!! So sad, because the food was fresh and pretty good when it came, but????? Never did our waiter come back to ask us if we needed a refill, how are food was, nothing until the bill came. Maybe instead of standing around, they could of been helping the kitchen??? Or take separate breaks and eat at a table away from their duties??? Just so gross to watch. Will not be back.

Had high hopes for this restaurant when new owners took over, but I've noticed they are spending less and less time on site. Quality of service continues to drop, wait times for basic dishes, particularly in the evening, where they overstaff with young people that sit idle saying there's nothing to do, goof off in public view or flirt amongst themselves, and only seem motivated to grab a plate of free food, and when duty calls walk towards patrons still chewing and wiping their mouths....disgusting! Worse yet, they leave their plate of free food to get orders without a hand wash, and also grab orders after collecting cash at the register. The way plates are handled and delivered to tables, they commonly are observed to make incidental contact with the plated food and their filthy bare hands...Health Dept Alert!! If they continue on this path, this restaurant will likely change hands again within a year, or be closed. They are also tracking towards losing their pie lady that has placed this restaurant on the map. Owners: tighten things up ASAP, your business is crashing and burning. 🔥
