    Our table was right on edge so we could see the view perfectly. Our server was THE BEST!! My friend and I are longtime residents of northern Colorado and this was on our “staycation” bucket list. It was a nice ending to a great hike. Thank you!

    The view and venue are incredible. The food was a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall, it was a great experience and nice to be next to the river!

    Great place. Food too expensive. One dish delivered way late (initial one went to wrong table). Ran out of water at table.

    Always a great experience having lunch at Mishawaka while listening to and watching the Poudre River flowing by. Great service, good food and unbeatable ambiance. Easy to reserve a spot on the deck with the open table application.

    The food was mediocre at best. The service was only slightly better. Their bathrooms weren’t working and my wife was directed to porta potty across street. Unfortunately, a cold front came blowing through which pretty much ruined our outdoor dining experience. The views of River and mountains was the only positive. Don’t think we’ll go back again. One and done.

    Nice place to go for lunch in the summer. Onion rings were awesome; fish & chips was excellent. Regular burgers were great but my bison burger may have been reheated or just overcooked and dry. They never asked me how I wanted the bison burger cooked.

    My first time here and it was totally worth the hour drive. Service was excellent and they were more than accommodating of us with our very well-behaved dog. We had to ask to be seated inside as my son is highly allergic to bees and they were all over us out on the deck.

    We enjoyed a beautiful day by the Poudre with our family. Be(e) advised that in this season there are plenty of flying insects trying to get into your beer. But also hummingbirds that are attracted to the numerous feeders. Be sure to get a reservation for lunch, even during the week.

    This place is a “must stop” while traveling in the Rocky Mountains. Gorgeous drive to/from along the Poudre Valley canyon/river. The scenery and music, on a river backed up by a mountain… heaven!! They do everything right.

    It's a great ride up the Poudre Canyon from Fort Collins. The outdoor deck is spectacular and overlooking the river is great. Service is always top notch. We have been taken all of our out of town guests here and it's always a WOW moment.

    Prices have increased, no new menu items, hidden kitchen fee added to the bill which we unknowingly tipped on, and they’re making patrons use “Porta Jons” in the hot sun and heat. Yes some concert area improvements but they’ve stepped so far backwards from their roots we’ll dine elsewhere. We’ve visited here non stop over the years and told many people about the restaurant but no reason to now unfortunately.
