Discovered by accident. Actually, by Providence! 1882 Bar & Grill comes recommended without reservation! Awesome food, Awesome service and a great view outside (below) on the patio. David (and crew) were our servers - the entire team pitches in. We enjoyed (split) the Brisket, along with sweet potato fries...Read More

What a great place to eat this is! We had an outdoor seat and we watched the river while we ate. The food was excellent also! Service was great and everyone was very nice. I definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic lunch outside on the river with gorgeous weather. Great service but it is a tiny space.

Had a great lunch today. This is the first time we've sat inside, we usually set out by the river but it was 17° so... Cheeseburger and onion rings were wonderful. Margaritas made it even better. Thanks, Wendy!

There’s something about a place that knows what it’s about—no pretense, just good food and real warmth. This spot nails it. The smoke brisket hits you with that slow-cooked, fall-apart tenderness that’s been marinated in love and hours over fire. Onion rings? Crispy little golden...Read More

Stopped in for a beer and snack…onion rings were recommended and were some of the best! Onions were crispy and didn’t pull out of the batter! A+ Great view and prompt service.

Here for Friday dinner. Previous comment said interior dining area left a lot to be desired. Couldn't disagree more. There's seating inside at the bar, at a 'floating' bar in main bar room and combo cushion banquet and 2 chair tables. Additional room w similar seating. Music is great. Staff is...Read More

Really great BBQ food! Lots of options. We had 10 people in our party, staff was friendly and accommodating. You can sit outside and enjoy river views. We had several items, but the pictures are the chicken sandwich and the brisket …

Bomb.com. Had the brisket sandwich, delish. Sweet potato fries some of the best I've had. Bartender on patio, David, friendly and provided great service. First time we ate here, but I'm sure whatever you have, you won't be disappointed. Historic building from 1882

The bacon cheese burger was cooked to my request. It had a good flavor and was juicy. The fries were excellent. With a draft beer, the total was $35 before tipping.

The cutest place ever! The Bartender Debbie made me the best martini ( The Kat's Meow) and all the food that came out of the kitchen smelled amazing! Rooms as well to stay the night are so quaint. Definitely a place to visit❣️.

We had an amazing meal after a day on the slopes! The kids pasta and chicken tenders were amazing! The brisket sandwich was amazing as well! Not too much barbecue sauce and you can taste that the meat was smoked! Such a good flavor! We...Read More

Excellent place... We had the Cajun BBQ Shrimp appetizer, and the brisket sandwich, with fries. The shrimp dish was a bit sweeter than we're used to for that dish, but was still very good. The brisket sandwich was great, super tender and …

Just finished having lunch. Southwest chicken wrap w fries. Excellent. History of the place made it even better. Once was a hostel, jail, motel. Be sure and ask. Family owned for 30+ years. We will be back.

My family and I had lunch here on a Sunday. Wait was short and staff was friendly and prompt. The food took longer then expected but was delicious once it arrived. The great view of the river was a plus.

Our first visit and the food and the service were excellent. The BBQ sample platter had a very, very generous portion of meats and ribs. All of the food was great including the soup of the day - cream of potato. However, the star of evening...Read More

Some of the best dry rub BBQ I’ve ever had. We were looking for a place to get a burger and after two failed attempts at other places ended up here. As we walked in we saw a plate coming out of the kitchen with...Read More

Brisket is awesome. Very good ribs. Tri-tip mediocre. Great experience and beautiful setting. Excellent staff even with large crowds and many guests. Friendly, pleasant lunch with nearby shopping and great scenery! (Get the brisket and their homemade barbecue sauce. Awesome!)

I'll say this. They were packed. They were over whelmed with the amount of people to serve. There was a wiat. They literally had everything going against them. HOWEVER, they kept it together with good service and great food. …
