For a hometown market, I love that Jim carries gourmet food items on his shelves, as well as hard to find spices, wines, etc. As far as the food I have ordered from The River Market as take-out, I can't complain! He has lowered lunch & dinner prices- I have gotten lunch anywhere from 3.99-6.99, and can NEVER finish my lunch, no matter what I pay. The dinners can't be beat either, for not being a chain restaurant, especially around these parts! My favorite is the prime rib, which is fresh cut, and is served with a twice baked potato and a vegetable. Couldn't go OUT to eat for what I've paid for dinners at the River Market. The homemade seafood salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, and other items in the fridge are awesome! I've been to events that have been catered by the River Market, and they are always EXTREMELY helpful, from what I hear, and I could sit down with a bucket of their hot crab dip with a spoon! Holy moly!! I agree that Jim can come off as cranky, but who cares!!! You would be, too, if you worked long hours, 6 days a week, and had to deal with the stress of running a business! Jim, keep the food coming, as I will always be there to eat it!

Our family has ordered several take out lunches/dinners from The River Market, more so over the past few months. The food is absolutely delicious BUT the portions are never the same- sometimes the burgers are so huge they won't fit the bun and other times it's almost 1/2 the size!!! The french fries that come with the meals are either fair size or very small portioned. Sometimes a soda comes with the meal and other times it doesn't. The inconsistency along with the service, primarily from the owner himself really isn't worth going back. Sometimes he is friendly and speaks while at other times seems short tempered as if kind of being bothered by his customers.
