Riverside Cafe

It's my favorite place to go to when I pass through Derby Kansas. I have always stopped there over the past several years. Just outstanding food, love their chicken fried chicken. Breakfast menu is outstanding. It is nostalgic for me because of my grandparents living in Derby. There is a photo on the wall of some students with all school grades on it. I love looking at it because my grandfather is a child in the photo. It is that old. The atmosphere is wonderful and really just love that.

Love those cafe's tucked back in places off the beaten path.

This neat Cafe has been around since 1945/46 and offers real home cooked meals.

I ordered the 3 pc. catfish dinner and Man!.. It was almost too much!
Large flakey catfish...the way catfish should be.

Homemade fried potatoes cooked with bacon! Yummy.

The walls had tons of nostalgia to look at while you wait. But we didn't have to wait long...

Solid choice for a local diner! We have gone enough to be recognized but even still have been treated like a regular from the start-the food is consistently good, portions are large and the service is fabulous! It’s a great place to chill out and get a yummy home style meal. It’s always nice to see the folks from the Air-force and local policemen there, too!

Riverside has a long tradition of being a simple family restaurant. I've eaten a Riverside for over 40 years now. Good every day food with great portions at fair prices. Still have punch cards to get a free meal. And the service is a breath of fresh air in these times of poor help most places.

Very busy but waitress and servers were on top of it. I had a Reuben sandwich and hubby had a hamburger. My sandwich had a thick slice of corned beef, sauerkraut that was not too sour and thousand island on the side. One of the better Reubens I’ve had. Hubby’s hamburger and fries were decent

The food was great along with the service!! Clean place and hard-working staff! I recommend them!

My friend and me ate here on 3-22-23, at about 11/11:30 am. We had the most delicious chicken fry, fresh out of fryer, mashed potatoes & gravy and green beans. Also a nice salad and hot rolls that tasted like they too were just baked. We couldn't wait to go back. Today we got chicken fry that was tepid and tough, not fresh cooked, loose fake potatoes and cold green beans. Salad was right out of bag, nothing added and the lettuce had brown edges. We had to ask for rolls and they said they'd microwave them. Center was doughy. Waitress was very nice and polite. We won't go back.

Lovely people! Great service! Big portions! Fantastic flavor, fresh made food, will definitely come back! Best Chef in the area! Staff is wonderful 😊 had steaks and chicken fried steak as big as the plate!

I drive across town to come here to eat on Sundays there is no better dinner in Sedgwick county

Had gotten kind of pricey but most food places have since COVID. Still get a large portion, for me it is 2 meals. Homemade and very well prepared.
