    After watching Chicago's Thanksgiving Day parade, our family went for our Turkey feast on Thanksgiving Day at River Roast. The Thanksgiving buffet menu had all delicious choices from salads, veggies, stuffing, turkey and desserts. Service was impeccable (Witche was our waitress, and thank her for the great service). The restaurant and location and views of the Chicago River were spectacular. Our family left feeling we definitely made the right choice in choosing River Roast for our Thanksgiving meal. We are looking forward to going back to River Roast in the summer to try their regular menu and enjoy the outdoor terrace.

    Fantastic as ever in every way. Delicious gluten free and vegetarian options and they ask if you need “no contact” with anything with gluten in preparing the gluten free food. I’ve loved this place for decades and it is still popping!
