A great atmosphere and excellent food! And all the pizzas are absolutely amazing! We have also tried the sauna and a couples massage - we would highly recommend both. If you are looking for a relaxed and quiet evening with drinks and excellent food, Riverside Lodge is the place to go!
Best little place to “get away”! Refreshing and relaxing 😌 The food is on point 👌😋
Best place in the area for a cozy home cooked meal very inviting friendly service and amazing heat. Check it out you will not be disappointed.
We highly recommend Riverside! The food was fantastic and our server, Nettie, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We look forward to going back!!
Absolute favorite place to go and relax and eat! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing saunas!!! A must see for anyone!
Excellent food, staff and atmosphere. The Riverside Lodge is a great place to meet friends and often enjoy some live music while dining!
It is always a treat to go to Riverside. The food is excellent the wine and beer choices are great and the family who runs it are super sweet. You might even luck out and hear some live music!!! And the saunas are always hot and clean!!!
We went by riverside after a long cold day of snowmobiling on new years eve. There are 4 private saunas with 2 changing rooms each and each sauna can hold 4-6 people. The saunas were perfect -- the staff was *amazing* and the food and drinks were great! We cannot wait to return!
I can't speak about sauna, but I can say that the pizza is great and staff is too! Try the Lodge pizza.
Loved the homey, welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the rosemary chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious.
Amazing experience! The saunas are top notch! The food is delicious and the staff is great!
Great Sunday afternoon of dining and music yesterday. Atmosphere is awesome and staff was extremely enjoyable. Food was excellent.
Stayed for two nights in one of their rooms upstairs using AirBnB for two days of skiing at Sunday River. We arrived within half an hour of last call for food. Service was cheerful and food was excellent nevertheless. Way above what you would expect for a pizza and Greek salad in small town Maine. The crusts are handmade. Ingredients are simple but high quality and impeccably fresh. Homemade dressing. Perfectly balanced salad. I don't know if they bake their desserts, but they, too are excellent. The crowd is a friendly mix of skiers from Boston and locals, including delightful, well-behaved children. There was a guitarist quietly picking out instrumentals by the fireplace. The sauna was wood fired and authentic. A pizza, a salad and a dessert left two of us with half a pizza left over, which we ate for breakfast, heated in the kitchenette that comes with the room, which also has fresh coffee for the coffee maker and cream for the coffee in the fridge. Everything was the best possible combination of family-run atmosphere and careful caring food preparation. We ate there Saturday night, too. It was so good. We'll be back!
10 stars! This truly is the definition of a hidden gem. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Riverside Lodge is a must stop. The food (made from scratch!) is incredible. The decor is adorable. The staff are attentive and kind. The owner is always available and is super knowledgeable about her menu items and the area. The saunas are the real deal. Even had the pleasure of peaking in on her cute Air BnB units. If you need a home cooked meal, delicious pizza, jaw dropping dessert, place to lay your head, an authentic detox session or all of the above: this IS the spot for you! Oh great, now I want pizza and cake. To the lodge!
Saunas are wonderful! You get a private sauna with a shower right in it! Food is yummy and you can even grab a drink to bring in the sauna.
On a recommendation, we stopped in for a meal. The place was warm and friendly. The staff were very polite, and the food was delicious !!!
This place is fantastic. You can have a serious sauna sit and then enjoy a delicious pie. Both aspects of this establishment are seriously good.
Been going to this place over 30 years, it used to be Dave's Sauna & is still one of my favorite places. Very clean and extremely friendly staff
Riverside Lodge and Sauna is a gem hidden off the beaten path. The service and hospitality were superb and the food was scrumptious. Stop on by to warm your bones in their wood-fired saunas, or enjoy being serenaded by local musicians during one of the acoustic sets.
Me and Husband Had a couple's massage. Where we both felt like we fell into a healing and peaceful place in world maybe heaven. A bite to eat of their homemade fresh pizza that was amazing then off to the sauna which was a home run!!♡♡♡
