Rye River Social has managed to fly under the radar for way too long. The eclectic interior, upstairs event space, thoughtful cocktails and foodie forward menu make it the perfect spot for all occasions, especially during the holidays. Check out three of our favorite reasons to give this local joint some love this season.
Taco Night (Wednesday)
I know, I know, someone forgot to tell RRS that taco night is supposed to be on Tuesday, but $10 for two gourmet tacos and a Modelo or house margarita, I can do two taco nights every week! RRS’s rotating taco selection always incorporates an expertly seasoned protein, bold flavors, crunch, and bright acidity. Tacos so delicious you find yourself grabbing the fallen toppings that hit the plate because you don’t want to sacrifice a crumb. These tasty tacos are amplified by an expertly concocted house-made margarita with a salted rim. RRS’s featured tacos change weekly, so make this a Wednesday tradition!
Burger & Beer Night (Thursday)
Just $10, and you get an RRS Burger stacked high with two smash patties, cheddar, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomato, plus your pick of beer. If you want to go all-out, you can upgrade to the weekly special for a few dollars more, and trust me, it is worth it. So far, the Mac Daddy has become my hands-down favorite, adding a breaded and deep-fried mac and cheese patty to a towering burger. Every burger coming out of the kitchen mixes and matches strong flavor profiles that work together and provide the restaurant-goer that indescribable, first bite “WOW” moment.
Must have – Add on a side of the Potato Tostones served with the house black & white sauce
Weekend Brunch
Are you someone who enjoys the wonders of childhood even as an adult? RRS’ weekend brunch gives you the chance to relive the wonders of youth through elevated plates like their whimsical Monkey Bread. Rotating each weekend, some of the most notable Monkey Bread versions have been Pecan Pie, PB&J, and Fruity Pebble. Pure joy is found pulling apart these sugary, doughy pieces. Another brunch must is the Dough-ger, a sweet and savory burger sandwiched between two giant glazed donuts. Sticky, sweet, and savory, it’s a glorious masterpiece that is worth the guilt of gluttony.
