Bert's Rivertown Grill

Bert’s Rivertown Grill is a small town bar with a solid little kitchen and a big dose of Cloverport charm. I stopped in three times during a recent visit, once by myself and twice with family, and every time felt like a laid back reunion with my hometown. It’s located in the old Pantry building, which for me is hallowed ground. I spent more than a few nights here as a kid, “camping” with my brother and our friends Keith and Shane. We’d eat Pantry taters, guzzle Mountain Dew, and sneak peeks at the top shelf magazines that definitely weren’t hidden behind the counter back then. If nostalgia had a GPS, it would drop a pin right here. The food hits that sweet spot between classic and comforting. I’ve had the burgers and the pork tenderloin sandwich. Both hit the mark. Nothing fancy, just exactly what you hope it’ll be when you order it. My son swears by the chicken strips. It’s not a menu that’s trying to reinvent the wheel, but it’s got all the staples. Burgers, tenders, pork sandwiches, even a good old fashioned bologna sandwich if you're feeling like third grade with a side of beer. The place has live music, cold drinks, friendly folks, and a laid back vibe. There’s talk of fixing up downtown and bringing in more events, and it feels like Bert’s is helping lead the way. And if you’re lucky, you might just catch a dog sitting behind the wheel of a parked truck like he’s waiting for someone to bring him a cold one. That actually happened. Bert’s Rivertown Grill is the kind of spot that makes you glad you came home.

I've eaten here twice now and I've never been disappointed. Everything came out so hot and fresh. The portions were great. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

Only stopped in for a few beers but next time I'll bring my appetite. The menu looks great. And the hosts were very friendly. We WILL be back.

This family run restaurant is a staple of Cloverport. The food is consistent and the staff is friendly. They offer a buffet on Friday nights and Sunday brunch. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are filling.

Nothing but compliments to this establishment, we had the daily specials, roast beef Manhattan and I had the meatloaf with slaw and cabbage. All of our food was outstanding and it was really mid afternoon when we dropped in. A neat lil town beside the Ohio River. A very enjoyable outing and when I'm back close we will definitely drop in. The service was impeccable and everything was clean with a nice atmosphere.
