The Roadhouse at River Pines

The Roadhouse at River Pines sits on the edge of the Feather River in the Sierra‑Nevada town of Graeagle, California. Housed in the historic River Pines Resort, the restaurant welcomes guests with a reclaimed‑wood interior, stone fireplaces and large windows that frame pine‑covered hills and the sparkling river. Open Tuesday from 9 am to 9 pm and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday from 5 pm to 9 pm (closed Thursday and Wednesday), the Roadhouse serves a relaxed dinner‑and‑lunch menu priced $15‑30 per entrée. Signature dishes include the Roadhouse Ribeye steak, smoked BBQ baby back ribs, pan‑seared trout with lemon‑herb butter, and a hearty mountain‑style burger topped with caramelized onions and sharp cheddar. The culinary team, led by Executive Chef Michael Anderson, sources local game and fresh‑caught fish, and pairs each plate with a curated selection of California wines and craft cocktails crafted by the on‑site mixologist. Diners can enjoy live acoustic music on the outdoor patio during summer evenings, or settle into the cozy indoor booths for a family‑friendly meal. The venue is steps from the resort’s golf course, hiking trails, and the historic Graeagle train depot, making it a perfect stop after a day on the slopes or a bike ride through the pine forest. Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings, and the restaurant also offers private event space for weddings and rehearsal dinners. The bar features a rotating tap list of local microbrews and a classic Old Fashioned made with house‑infused bourbon. For dessert, the warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream and the chocolate lava cake are crowd favorites. The friendly staff greets guests by name, and the open‑kitchen design lets you watch the grill in action. Free Wi‑Fi and pet‑friendly patio seating complete the welcoming atmosphere.
