Riverside Cafe is one of those “gems”. This is a wonderful spot to grab a bite, and I frequent the place when I check out Medicine Park and explore the wildlife refuge.
The Food – I had the Jalepeño Popper Burger and Fries and it was amazing. The meat is all locally sourced from a nearby farm and just tastes great.
The Service – Staff here excels at service. I was waited on by a lady named Brittany, she was super friendly and handled everything perfectly.
The atmosphere – The outdoor seating area is the best spot to be, but was full the last time I came through so I sat inside. Man it is just as cool! They have trees growing through the building where they preserved nature and decided to build around it instead of remove it. It’s really cool to see.

Riverside is a nice spot to grab a quick burger and something to drink! The Menu is very basic, but that’s what makes this place quick and easy! The service was very sweet and views were relaxing
Probably better to come in the summer to sit out on the deck, but we still got a good view from the window side.

We have been to this restaurant many times and every aspect of this establishment is perfect. The atmosphere involves an incredible view of turtles and other wildlife in the river. The service is the best in the business. The servers are both fast and friendly. The food absolutely never disappoints. Every sandwich that I have tried here has been amazing. I love the Bama Bird Chicken Sandwich and I would induct it into the Chicken Sandwich Hall of Fame if the opportunity ever presented itself. The Brunch Burger is another one of my go-to favorites. Go back multiple times and try everything on the menu! You won’t regret it!

My daughter took me for Mother’s Day while we were in Lawton visiting family after a memorial. Kitchen was slow, but the service was right on. Our glasses of soda and water were never empty. The waitress was super attentive but not disruptive and the view was beautiful over Medicine Creek. Food is good and better than most in Lawton we’ve had so far. It was a bright and comforting spot on an emotional weekend. Recommend!

Wonderful late lunch! I had the catfish (delicious hushpuppies) and my husband had The Hammy. We both really enjoyed our meals, good sized portions too! The service was also very good.

The food was much better than expected. The patio was great and our server was very friendly and attentive even though they were busy. We will definitely eat here again next time we come back.

Riverside Cafe absolutely hit the spot! We had a group and tried a variety of dishes—everything from burgers piled high with toppings to a killer catfish po’ boy smothered in sauce, plus plenty of fried okra and crispy onion straws on the side. Every plate came out hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor.
The outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying the nice weather, and the atmosphere was laid-back and family-friendly. Service was fast even though they were packed, and the staff made sure we were taken care of the whole time.
If you’re anywhere near Medicine Park, do yourself a favor and stop by Riverside Cafe. Great food, good vibes, and worth every penny.

Burger and the mushrooms on it tasted like dirty griddle, somehow even the bun was greasy. The chips on the trio appetizer were not very good and the queso tasted like a bean dip of some sort. The “onion rings” were onion strings, potato salad was gross (I spit it out) thought my salad would be hard to mess up but the ranch was watery and weird. Only decent thing out of everything ordered was the country fried steak. Seemed like everything was cheap to maximize their profit, which at the price of stuff is disappointing. Won’t be back
