Mrs. Rivers Bakery & Smokehouse (Mrs. Rivers Pies & Catering) — Restaurant in Sturtevant

I felt like the experience was disjointed. Like you pay for your coffee and food, up front. I tried to just give them my card to hold and they couldn't do that either. This isnt a deal breaker for me; just seemed weird. coffee was decent, but no one came by to ask if we needed refills. you kinda just ask when you need it. Again, not a deal breaker, just something you wont know till you experience it. Also, you bus your own table, as in a cafeteria, or like... When you go to Mcdonalds. So kind of a kitchy experience. I'm not even sure if you are supposed to tip, but I think my sister did as she ended up paying for our meal. They do bring the coffee and the meal to your table, though.

Food was decent and you get a good amount. Everyone's meal looked great. I had the brisket eggs benedict. I dont think the brisket was smoked, but they dont advertise it, specifically, as being smoked.

It's a bit loud, for such a small dining area. I don't know the solution for this, but I remember being able to hold a conversation, but you cant speak softly, if you want to be heard, there. The place was maybe just over half full, at the time.

I did not try the bakery, though everything looks good.

I wanted to like the place more. It just seemed a little off or unpolished, in several areas. Could have been an off day.

Edit: saw the owner post some corrections, lol.. so when I bussed my own stuff, it was because another guy bussed his own stuff and we joked about it and he said it was his first time there but his parents, seated next to us, come there, regularly. There was no busses boy there and earlier when my sister asked to have her and my cousin's plates taken away, the waitress did so but it seemed like we were bothering her. I thought we were supposed to actually bus our iwb stuff after watching a this guy bus his own stuff and the waitress/cashier was talking to some other girl and didn't seem to be bothered by this. Soooooo... I guess maybe you should make sure your regulars know not to bus their own stuff, too. Also, I'm a big guy and not young. I know what good smoked bbq tastes like so lets not go there. I wasn't saying anything bad about the food and it seems like you took a greater offense than what I meant, but biting was a lie. Just an awkward experience. One star off for your ham-fisted attempt and making me look like I just got everything wrong and was just born yesterday. It's weird to make you pay up front when you SIT AND EAT THERE. It's not weird for...

Wow!!! Go hungry and go often! It will take you years to get through the menu selections! We read about the restaurant off a social media crosspost and it sounded cute. Checked out the breakfast menu and were impressed with the selections and the price. Today was the day we headed over. From the enthusiasm of the cashiers, you would have thought they had been waiting for us and were glad we finally arrived. Everyone was greeted in the same friendly manner. Impressive. We arrived in perfect time, because many more poured in behind us. We sat down and looked over the huge menu. We finally narrowed it down and went up to order and sat and admired the cute and unique atmosphere, tasted the bakery on display with our eyes and caught glimpses of the plates other people chose. Yum! They deliver the food to your table and you’ll want to be sitting to admire the magazine quality presentation of each and every entree. We ordered a meat lovers omelette and a gyro omelette with fresh baked bread, one raisin and one white. You know the restaurant is good when you can say the WHITE Bread is delicious! One of the best parts of breakfast was the fresh fruit cup the comes with the omelette. All kinds of bite size, fresh chilled fruit to complement the meal. The restaurant was clean, bright from lots of windows, smelled good and friendly.

Treat yourself and head over for a delicious meal made from clearly fresh ingredients delivered by a friendly and professional crew. We were even surprised by a table side visit from the owner to make sure everything was satisfactory. What a nice touch. We believe they truly want you to love the food, the people and...

This place got a 10 out of 10 until they've changed their hours and are no longer open other than breakfast or lunch. We were frequenting the restaurant two to three days a week everyone in the family getting a meal then they changed the hours to only accommodate the retired or non-working class I suppose. The food and the atmosphere and even the owners are a 10 out of 10 but the idea to limit the hours to close at 2:00 p.m. was the worst thing they could have done. They lost our business and countless other people I know because we have families and jobs and we aren't able to go and dine between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.. all the business we gave them along with all the people we recommended to their restaurant are no longer frequenting the spot because of the unreasonable hours. If you are retired or have absolutely nothing going on in life then this is the place for you for good food good atmosphere and good service but if you are like us and have a family and live a normal working man's life you will you will have to take a sick day and call the kids into school if you'd like to try Miss Rivers. Doesn't make sense as the business seem to be just taking off. Nightly up until close there were people dining in the restaurant for dinner with their families or significant others or friends. That is no longer the case. Sure wish we could still go to miss Rivers and they were open with normal hours like other restaurants in town they sure...
