Riverside Club

This is just a joint on the river. Service was friendly but slow. We had nachos that were terrible.

The Riverside club is a fun «find». It is not easily found. It takes a few twists and turns and ride on the top of a levee to get to The Riverside Club. The drive gives a sense of adventure just getting to it. Once there, one is right beside the Rio Grande just across the river is Mexico.
On Saturday afternoons in the winter, German music is featured. The day we went, a «Saturday Special» of German Food was offered. We had Bratwurst, cabbage rolls, sauerkraut, German potatoes, and a pretzel roll.
All the food was good. The bratwurst appeared to have been brought in special. In South Texas, «bratwurst» is more «hotdog» than sausage. The ones offered on the special were «sausage, not «hotdog». The cabbage rolls and German potatoes were excellent. The pretzel roll was an extra. Sauerkraut was sauerkraut.
The adventure and atmosphere is the reason to go to the Riverside Club. This is not fine dining. Food comes on plastic plates with plastic utensils. When not serving a special, the offerings are mostly fried items: fish, french fries, onion rings and hamburger type offerings.
