River's Edge Grille & Tavern — Restaurant in Ossipee

We lost our electric in the storm yesterday.. so we decided to go out to get breakfast & coffee. Well it took us a year to actually try this place out. My husband didn't think it looked okay.. That being said the atmosphere is casual & the waitresses are basically friendly. I had a issue with one waitress though. When you walk in you are greeted & told to sit where ever you like. We took a table & asked for coffee. When we were brought the coffee I asked if there were any flavored creamers & was told there was.. so I waited... & waited.. I looked for the girl I asked for the creamer from.. she was behind the counter.. daydreaming.. great. I get up & ask again.. She seemed flustered but offered no apology.. she handed me a small metal bowl with vanilla creamers in it. Our breakfast comes & the home fries are under cooked so I send them back. They came back again cooked this time & still hot ( they were barely warm the first time) But after taking a bite I notice an egg shell in them.. & something else I can't describe. I mentioned this to the blonde waitress that was at the table.. her reply ? "this is a breakfast place" was her reply .. um ya.. but I don't remember seeing EGGSHELLS on the menu ! Wow.. totally inappropriate ! So I bring the potatoes up to the counter & tell the same girl that neglected to give me creamer that there was another issue & could I just please have my check. I got the check & had to ask to have the home fries taken off the bill.. They did end up compensating me but it was a total fiasco & with a bad taste in my mouth (...

I’m very disappointed I have to give this place even 1 star to leave a review. When we first walked in we were greeted by flies and a terribly stained carpet. We were told to seat ourselves and the waitress would be over in a minute. We were given our 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper menu, and my sister and I both ordered a sprite and our friend ordered a coke. When our drinks were brought over I immediately noticed a color difference between the 2 cups of sprite. Our friend tried her coke first and said it tasted funny, my friend tried her sprite and almost spit it out, so I tried my sprite and sure enough wanted to spit mine out as well. I tried a sip of the coke and it was just a cup full of coke syrup….. mine and my sisters were just carbonated water……. Upon further inspection my sisters cup was covered in what I can only imagine to be mold on the riveted part of her cup…. When the waitress came over and asked if we were ready to order, and I explained we would not be ordering based off of how our drinks came and walked out. I wouldn’t eat here if it were the only place left on earth. Absolutely disgusting! Someone would really call the health department. And I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the fact this place has a 4.1 star review! 🤯

In reply to the owners response:

How do you explain the difference in color between the 2 cups of sprite and the VERY CLEARLY dirty disgusting cup?! And the flies literally all over the place?! We all prefer coke products...

If you are looking for a great place to have a drink and have a bite to eat - this is the spot. Take is a step further and host an AMAZING dinner party at River's Edge Grille & Tavern. NYE 2021 was our rehearsal dinner and finding a place to host 12 people not only on New Year's but also during the pandemic was getting to be very difficult. We got recommended to contact Jonathan from Whipple Tree Winery (another must!) and he took it from there. Jonathan gave us a private room, adhered to COVID guidelines, and gave us the best NYE we've ever had. He gave us a set menu to choose our meals, setup a cocktail hour with yummy apps, and even pre-loaded the TouchTunes Jukebox for us. This night was really special to us, and Jonathan and his team guaranteed that. The decorations were beautiful (even had fun NYE stuff), food was delicious, drinks were perfect, service outstanding and the music was bumping. We had the most...
