Situated on the iconic Chicago River with stunning views of downtown, River Roast is a lively social house and gathering place. The menu features contemporary American tavern fare with dramatic presentations of whole roasted chicken, whole roasted fish and slow roasted beef; all carved table-side. The food is handcrafted, yet rustic, with many plates designed for sharing. The bar offers a large selection of local beer, craft cocktails, beer, and wine. With one of the best patios in Chicago, River Roast is a great place to enjoy dining outside on a hot summer afternoon or a crisp fall evening.

We are open Mon-Fri for lunch and daily for dinner. Kitchen will be closed every day from 2pm -3pm. Please note patio seating is first come, first serve.
“Great place to have a nice lunch or dinner at this restaurant You can sit very nice on the terrace with a nice view on the river. The food was very great. We enjoyed the burrata and the kale Cesar salat. Our Highlight was the hanger steak. Cocked to perfection. Great taste. The service was friendly. All in all a good experience.”
“Went to River Roast to celebrate me and my partners anniversary. It truly was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived the host and the staff were very welcoming and sweet. Our server was Hozell and he was amazing. Very attentive and offered a lot of recommendations and details about the food menu. Made us feel very special and happy when he brought us dessert to celebrate and say congrats to our anniversary. The food and dessert was delicious. We appreciate the way he took care of us and will definitely come again soon with friends and other future celebrations!!😊”
“We had a great brunch here on our final day here. It was a simple, compact menu but everything we each chose was enjoyable, from the burger to the fried chicken sandwich to the kid's cheeseburger. Fries were perfectly crisp and salted. Service was friendly, engaged, and executed with detail after a slightly delayed start. Only bummer was the lack of the view because of the external construction / scaffolding which obscured any nice views of the river.”
“Had a great time at River Roast. The food was solid and flavorful (4★), with well-executed dishes, though not overly memorable. The ambience truly stands out—beautiful riverfront views and a vibrant setting make it special. Service was excellent, attentive, and welcoming throughout (5★). Overall, a wonderful dining experience I’d happily recommend, especially for the atmosphere and hospitality.”
“Beautiful patio overlooking the river if you can get a table. Happy hour 4-5:45pm is limited to the bar area. Half off of bites, cocktails, and wine. Service could be improved but they are kind when visible.”
