River's Edge Restaurant

Before leaving Huntington West Virginia I emailed with and spoke to the manager of this restaurant about working as a server. I emailed her my resume. I moved to Wheeling and was hired at the this Rivers Edge. The lady didn’t tell me they had no customers. I got the impression that I would wind up as a kitchen aid there. I wanted to be a Server and work with the public. I had previously worked as a host. And was good at it. One night a table of 4 suddenly became a table of 12 and I was excited thinking I was going to make money. But the staff all swarmed the table one server even took over the checks. One back of the house staff was very aggressive blocking my path as I was trying to walk. He also got loud shouting something that sounded like the German language. Two of the servers were verbally abusive. I quit.

This past weekend, I had my bridal shower in the event room on the second floor and I am nothing but pleased with the service, food, and atmosphere. I want to start off by saying thank you to Missy (the manager) for helping me plan my event. She was very accommodating and worked with me to help me stay within my budget. The staff went above and beyond to serve the entire party including special meals for the children. Joseph, Megan, and Carla were exceptional! The food not only looked good but it tasted even better, kudos to the chef! And for the atmosphere, who couldn't ask for a better view! I am glad I chose to have my event at Rivers Edge.

We had a nice meal here stopping through off I-70. Plenty of space and friendly service, with great views of the river. We had lunch but there was a nice bar if one wanted a happy hour. Indoor and outdoor seating, and a quick jaunt to the old national toll road bridge, from which you can see the balcony seating. You’ve got to try the avocado fries - and for those so inclined, save the aioli dipping sauce to spread on the veggie/vegan burger, which is good but comes plain. Kids menu too, where the little one had a good grilled cheese. Nice find, and you might not know it from the plain exterior! Simple and understated, yet solid and aiming to please.

We were a little wary given some recent bad reviews, but decided to give it a try. Went on Saturday for dinner and sat on the outdoor deck. It is pretty clear they are short staffed, but who isn't these days? The staff that was there was super nice and the food was excellent and came out in good time. Will definitely eat here again.

Took my family in for dinner Saturday night and I wasn’t too pleased. Crab cakes were burnt and my husbands fish was dry. Nothing really on the dinner menu for kids and we were told the cook said they couldn’t order from the lunch menu. The manager apologized and offered us a discount, drink and dessert but we just wanted to leave cause my girls were hungry. . Great location so it’s a real shame. Waitress was nice though.

Seems like a nice place to relax with drinks, but definitely eat before you go. Food was absolutely terrible. Crab cakes were undercooked, completely raw and gummy on the inside. Pork chop was undercooked, pink and bloody near bone. Unseasoned mashed potatoes. Extremely salty lobster bisque. The bathrooms were gross!!!! Plates are $15-30 and the bathrooms are worse quality than McDonald's.
