The country fried steak was pretty standard. The chicken pot pie was delicious, but I would recommend asking for a side of asparagus, the mashed potatoes is over kill. The bread pudding needs to be ordered in advanced, but it's nothing I'd really order again. Overall it's got a great view and a nice ambiance.
Review Source:Great facilities. Served me the wrong whiskey in my drink. Had the NY strip. Ordered medium rare and came out medium well. Â All i could taste was char. Â Worst steak i've had in some time. Server tried too hard to be funny. Great atmosphere, sub-par service, poor food, particularly for the money spent
Review Source:Ambience was nice with nice view for the area.  Food not so much.  I asked the waitress if the french dip had a nice toasted bun and she said yes, so I ordered it.  Not so, it was pretty much roast beef slabbed on a hoagie bun and barely toasted.  Tried the creme brûlée and it was served cold for nearly $7.  Creme brûlée is supposed to be torched right before serving for the sensation of hot and cold.  If you are going to charge that much for a dessert, it should be served correctly.
Review Source:If this was based on the food alone it would be a one star (or no star) review. Our party of 6 went for Sunday Brunch and every one of us were disappointed. Before you jump to any conclusions about us being too picky let me tell you we were a varied group...a couple from Louisiana, a local couple who actually recommended the place and my hubby and myself (full-time travelers)...and none of us were even slightly impressed. The ambiance is great, the bar looked fantastic and the patio area was phenomenal...but the food?? It was bad. And not just "meh" bad...but real bad. Perhaps what made it worse was that it cost us $70 (we tipped well even though it wasn't full service for the brunch) for 2 people...seventy dollars...in Sioux City...for chewy waffles, powdered eggs, freezer burned hash browns, and dry cake. Sorry...but a bowl of raisin bran at home would have been better and I would have had $70 in my pocket to spend somewhere worthy. Never again.
Review Source:This place has nice location on river....decent service as well. The food is average or less in my opinion. Our party of three didn't like anything we ordered. This was my 3rd or 4th attempt at this place. Many other options in area. I won't be giving Bevs another try for food. I may visit their bar again though:)
Review Source:In town on a Monday night for business staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. Too lazy to go out for dinner so wandered down to Bev's. Good move. For starters I had a Grey Goose martini up. Perfection!! I don't know why that's so hard to get right but Bev's bartender hit it.
The bread I was served with my salad was very tasty. Round in shape, golden in color, and a hint of honey in the flavor. I ordered the special of cashew crusted salmon. It was awesome, full of flavor, not dry, and the cashew covering was sufficiantly crusty.
"Bev's On the River" is a great choice when in Sioux City for any reason. Great food, good service, wonderful decor..
Stopped for lunch today. Just had a house salad but it was very good. Nice selection of greens, veggies, cheese and hard-boiled egg! Yes! I love egg in salad. More than I could eat. Beautiful inside and nice to watch the river roll by.
Only complaints are a very limited kids menu: cheeseburger, Mac and cheese, fettuccine or grilled cheese. Â And our server walked by several times and never asked how our meal was or if we needed anything. So minus one star for that.
Would like to come back in summer. But bring the bucks. $19.60 for a salad and a kids meal?
Bev's was awesome! Especially for a hotel restaurant. The staff were super friendly and the ambiance was nice. Loved the tall windows overlooking the river. Definitely will want to come back in summer and sit outside. The only weird part were those lame mesh flower things hanging from the windows. Ruined the beautiful view and looked like something my grandma would use to decorate a playroom with. But the food was amazing. Fresh bread! Fresh salad! Perfectly cooked steak. They could improve on the cocktail list. I had the Pearl Harbor martini and it tasted like the smell off Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion. Might have been good in 1986 but could use some updated recipes. All in, it was a delicious meal!
Review Source:Had the opportunity to eat the pork osso bucco. The menu states that it's a "Braised pork shank slow roasted in a rich natural au jus. Served on a bed of skin-on garlic mashed potatoes and smothered in rich brown gravy."
The glaze was excellent and the pork was moist, tender and tasty, along with being presented artfully.
Others in the party had sirloin salad, crab cakes, 1/4 head of lettuce and the prime rib sandwich. All those were good, but the pork osso bucco was exceptional. If you like pork, this is "Top of the Mark."
Very nice atmosphere, good staff, efficient and friendly service.
Bev's On the River is connected to a Hilton Garden Inn and located "on the river" in Sioux City. I am not from Sioux City. I have never been to Sioux CIty. I am lucky I chose the HIlton Garden Inn as my hotel because I did not see any other restaurants in Sioux City besides a Famous Dave's, a Chili's and a Perkins. I am not a fan of chains.
But anyway, I sat at the bar, and tried to spend some time studying the menu, which was what I call a typical wannabe fine dining establishment for a town of this size. Menu options went from fish flown in daily from Hawaii (a nice touch), to the house specialty prime rib, to steaks, to the Iowa stuffed pork chops (which I had to get, seeing as I was in Iowa and the bartender made a really big deal out of telling me that this was "real, Iowa pork").
I upgraded to a Caesar salad, which was odd in that the Caesar included minced red onion and bacon, two additions that made it more of a garden salad with Caesar dressing than a Caesar salad. Not sure why it cost $2.50 more, unless the bacon was from "real Iowa pigs" too.
The pork was not great, but was edible. The stuffing was more of a smooth stuffing, which was odd, I was expecting a cornbread stuffing (like the menu said), but it was like a cornbread stuffing that was put in a blender first. The gravy was quite good on the pork. The mashed potatoes were homemade as there were chunks of potatoes and I am a fan of freshly made mashed potatoes.
The wine list is quite bad. But there was a terrific Iowa pale ale on tap which was delicious.
Three stars, I would come back.
Best food in Iowa!
Well, to be honest, I haven't ate everywhere in Iowa, but I'm giving the award to Bevs anyway.
I had supper there twice on a weeknight in October. I sat in a booth in the dining area and drank water both times, so I didn't experience the bar scene which sounded fun.
Iowa steak wings were my appetizer the first night. Steak was cooked PERFECT and the sauce was yummy! The rolls are fresh, warm, and mouth watering. Â Not air filled yeast rolls, or brick-hard, just right. Side salad with home made blue cheese dressing was very tasty. Large portion too. My entree was chicken Oscar with a side of mashed potatoes. There was about a pound of potatoes and a huge slab of chicken. They were both delicious.
The second night i had prime rib perfectly prepared with loaded baked potato. Â I highly recommend this to my fellow meat eaters. Side salad was just as good as my previous meal. Â This time I ordered the bread pudding early for desert and was so happy i did. Best dessert i've had since strawberry shortcake at Ted's Montana Grill.
Service both nights was excellent and the atmosphere soothing.
I'm sure both meals were about 2000 calories each, but if i could just eat once a day, it would be at Bev's.
This certainly isn't like a lounge in Hoboken or NYC. It isn't a steak house like Peter Lugar's either. But in the middle of nowhere, this is one sweet spot.
This is actually connected to the hotel. So it's a short walk inside the building.
Over the 4 days, I visited Bevs on 4 or perhaps 5 occassions. We had dinner, lunch and drinks there.
The bar was probably as "happening" of a place as it gets around here. Though I didn't walk into any bar down town, they didn't appear any more "happening" then this place. It's usually packed at night. Judging by the location of the cars parks outside, it's probably 60% hotel guests. They serve decent drinks and the services are good.
For lunch, the lunch special is incredibly cheap. The only problem was that we got a waitress who was very absent minded. That wasn't a good combination when we were in a hurry.
For our dinner visit, the waitress, Maria was top notch. We enjoyed the food and the services. The prime ribs were excellent. The best part of the meal might have been the bread pudding at the end. You would have to order it 20 minutes ahead though. It's made to order:)
GOOD:
Connected to the hotel. It was snowing outside. Having an indoor connection is a big plus. The ambience is nice and the Filet Mignon is tender.
BAD:
Pretty pricy, but it is the only restaurant that I could go to when there's a blizzard outside.
FAV:
Bacon-wrapped Filet Mignon and a frosted glass of Sioux City Sarsaparilla
The first time I was here, I came with a group of co- workers where one person didn't get his salad till everyone had finished their food. Like more than 30 minutes later. With no discount offered not any guesture of goodwill. Tonight I went there and the place is more than half empty on a Wed night and I didn't get any entree till 30 mins after I finished my salad. The whole time while I was wondering what was going on I couldn't find my server. She offered me an explanation that someone took my order by mistake. I wondered if that would have happened if she had checked on my order     .  Of course they didn't show offer any goodwill guesture either. I am just the poor soul that happen to have to wait 30 mins for food. I have to wonder what the service is like if they are busy.
Review Source:The good news: Great location and fantastic patio eating overlooking the swift flowing Missouri River. Looks like it's part of a hotel/mall, but it's not. The bar has plenty of TVs, regional beers, and plenty of space. The dining area has 2-3 story ceilings and lots of light and windows. The bad news: nothing on the menu looked or sounded regional or outstanding. I ordered the walleye (from Canada, it said). And a side salad instead of the ubiquous french fries. Even though it was 2 pm on a Saturday with no more than a dozen people in the place, it took 1/2 hour to get my fish sandwich with french fries. It took another five minutes to switch out the fries for a salad with commercial dressing. I wanted to feel like Mark Twain sitting on the Missouri River banks. Instead I felt like any traveler sitting down to a generic Americanized sandwich and salad.
Review Source:Our goal in coming to Bev's was to find regional beer; we're on a road trip from NC to WA. I don't know about the food (we arrived just as the kitchen closed 10 p.m.), but were staisfied that five of the ten tap handles has regional brewery beers. Bottle selection is all mainstream stuff. Â Had the Goose Pond Honker Ale and Goose Pond IPA and the Boulevard Wheat. Â Beer is $3.75.
Don't be deceived by the strip-mall like entrance--it's classy inside. Â =Two large screen TVs in the bar. Â Lovely overall atmosphere and fun bartender. Patio would be awesome in the summer--they have live music Thursdays-weekends.
