When Glenda and I do the tourist thing, every meal is on the patio if the heat allows it. Today was too hot so inside by the huge windows will work! Melissa, our waitperson was a doll. She waited on us, entertained us, charmed us, you name it! Glenda did the Cheesy Jane cheeseburger and onion strings. Burger great, onion strings ok. I did the Oklahoma Po' Boy with fries. The catfish poboy was great, but the French fries were the best I've ever had! We both slammed on the fries. I asked the lady up front about the fries. She said my husband is the cook. His seasoning. I guess I'll never know! Loved this place and the patio is a must when it cools down. If you ever make it to the Riverside Cafe, get the fries!

We ended up at this restaurant after hiking Mountain Scott earlier in the day. They had a really nice patio and allowed us to bring our dog to sit outside which was helpful. The service was really good and so was the food. The burgers were delicious and the fried okra was legit and tasted homemade! It was a beautiful day so sitting on the patio next to the river was super nice. If you're down here visiting I recommend eating here!

Fun to try Where else can you see a live tree growing through the middle of the restaurant, or sit and watch ducks, and yes, fish swimming in the water below? This place is nice, and not too loud for sound-sensitive children. For wheelchair users, they have a wonderful outside where you won't feel crowded and can enjoy great food. .. We've eaten here several times. It's our go-to place since they revamped the old plantation. (just too sterile and devoid of feeling. And way too noisy) The food is wonderful. It's fun sitting while waiting. And, considering there is a swim area just down the street--what nor could you ask? .

Just moved to town and discovered medicine park! This little area was such a breath of fresh air compared to Lawton itself. We decided to give Riverside a try and I'm so glad we did. The service was amazing, and each person we had an interaction with was so friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Even the indoor seating has a great view of the water where you can watch the ducks and turtles swim around. And lastly, the food! It was truly some of the best I've had in a very long time. I highly recommend the baked potato salad as a side, I could eat a bowl full of that stuff, no joke Needless to say, this is our new favorite place, and we can't wait to come back
