A+. I had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with jalapeño mayo. The chicken breast was is thin, but they give you more than one. I highly recommend it. We ate outside over Memorial Day weekend and our order came out a lot quicker than we expected. The French Fries have a light golden crust in them which makes for a nice crispy/light crunch. Free refills on the sodas. Great service too.

The best burgers and chicken sandwiches around. the employees working there went out of their way to take care of us, even one day they had just closed and the Cook went back in to make us our burgers excellent service. One of the best places in Downeyville.

Great location. Yummy food. The service isn't always great. I've enjoyed burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizzas and calzones here, BUT the service has predominantly been sub-par.

We love Downieville! We sat outside with our dog, who got a burger patty, and we got a pizza and chicken sandwiches. All delicious and such a sweet spot to sit right by the river.

Went to Downieville this week on business and once finished, we we're hungry and decided to take a chance on a very scenic restaurant for lunch. Wow we're we in for a surprise and wonderful time. Michelle Lozano-Sahan our server was great and fun. The salad and pizza, well, it's a far drive from home, but I'm sure we'll visit again. The chef, he was fun also.

Went on a motorcycle ride to Downieville and we chose Two Rivers Cafe for lunch. Love the walk up and order especially when you have big groups. Ordered a bacon Cheeseburger and fries and let me tell you that was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean and plenty of room to sit inside or outside if you choose. And you really can’t pick better views. Will for sure be stopping here again, and you should too!

Two Rivers was the perfect ending to a long hard day of bike riding. The Guac burger was incredibly good. It is huge. It was cooked to perfection. The guacamole sauce has a wonderful kick to it. The brown ale and the hazy were the perfect addition. Don't go through Downieville without stopping here! I will try the pizza next time.
