Riverside Grill Opened For Season This Week In Dover Foxcroft

Last month, we told you that the building, which for decades used to be the home of Pat's Dairyland in Dover Foxcroft, had been sold to a new owner and was being renovated.

The plan was to officially open for business the first week of this month, and that's just what they did

The new Riverside Grill, which has an old-school nostalgic look and feel, welcomed its first cruise-in diner patrons Wednesday morning.

According to a post on their Facebook Page, the opening went very well.

"Thank you everyone for your patience and patronage... I want to thank everyone for their patience!!! We put out about 300 meals in a short time and some things went wrong, but I guess that is to be expected. None the less our crew did a great job all things considered. Thank you again for your patience and patronage. Don't forget it's a cruise-in so bring your old car. "

And if the comment section is any indication of what kind of response they had at Riverside on their first days open, it would seem folks are digging what the grill has to offer.

One person said "The food was great and the place looks awesome! Wishing you a fabulous season!"

Another wrote "The wait was definitely worth it, and to be expected on your grand opening. Our food was delicious!!! We will for sure be back."

And a third commented "The food was great! The service was friendly! And the kinks will work out over time. It was busy and yet everyone stayed focused. Congratulations BONUS: there were some great cars as well!"
