Riverside North
About This Spot
Stepping into Riverside North feels like slipping into a well-loved neighborhood spot where the pace slows just enough to breathe in the simple joy of good company and satisfying food. Nestled conveniently along Timberwood Boulevard, this American eatery welcomes you with an unpretentious, easygoing vibe—plentiful seating invites both quiet conversations in cozy booths and lively chatter around the bar. It’s the kind of place where familiar faces might catch up over a cold drink and newcomers quickly feel part of the community rhythm.
The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, a balance that hints at decades of steady neighborhood loyalty without wearing too many trappings of formality. The friendly, attentive staff add warmth without ceremony, making the experience feel personal yet effortless. Here, ordering feels like making a local recommendation; the menu—with its satisfying staples like hearty burgers, crispy onion rings, and flavorful wings—anchors the visit with flavors that are straightforward, comforting, and generously portioned.
There’s a subtle nostalgia to many of the offerings, from the classic smashed burgers with their well-loved crust to the basket of fries that arrives piled high—not always fancy, but thoughtful in the way they satisfy those hungry for a taste of something true-to-place. Draft beers and hard ciders frame the meal with refreshment that fits both the sunny midday break or an easy evening unwind. It’s clear Riverside North has found its groove as a spot where no-nonsense food meets a relaxed, familiar beat—a place to enjoy uncomplicated, honest flavors alongside familiar, warm moments.

Good value for the money. Burgers remind me of a carnival or festival burger, but definitely very tasty. Onion rings were delicious, fries could use an upgrade. Atmosphere was fun and relaxing. Plentiful seating with booths and tables on one side and bar seating on the other. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Recommended especially if you are in the mood for a good, no-nonsense burger.

Nice and clean restaurant. They have a a la carte menu. They don't offer a military discount though.

Probably the best burger I've had in Charlottesville. Found out about this place from my grandfather who's been coming here for decades. I never would've found out about it if he hadn't taken me here today. Service is good, laid back atmosphere, good prices. The fries aren't really anything special but boy do they give you a lot in a basket. I wish he hadn't taken so long to tell me about this restaurant! If you're travelling route 29 through Charlottesville check this place out.

Great place for a quick bite, super friendly seat yourself place. Burgers are smashed with a nice crust for flavor, order a double or triple if you are hungry. Great skinny fries that come out hot, don't be surprised if your fries come out separate from your burger, that's typical. Place is very clean and lots of seating and parking with easy access from rt 29.

Great burgers and side. Been here several times and will continue to come. Be aware when you order the burger it is extra for veggies and other add ons which does add up.
