    Dining on a weeknight poses the obvious problem of being short staffed... BUT the food and the drinks DID NOT disappoint. Just the wait.

    I took my mom here for Mother’s Day and it was such a great experience! My mom and I really enjoyed our meal and our waiter was amazing. I’m glad I choose Milk River to spend my special day with my mom.

    I wanted to go to Milkriver for my birthday. I made reservations and confirmed. When I got there SHUTTERS. Why take booking if you’re not opened for business.

    I had a party of six to celebrate a birthday and this was the perfect spot i enjoy the live bands, the food was great and the customer service was good also. Our wait time was less than 15 mins i would suggest to reserved your table before you get there.

    The restaurant overall was pretty good. The live band was good but it was so loud we couldn’t have a conversation with one another. I would definitely like to go back just minus the band.

    The food was good, The waiter could have been a bit more attentive seeing as how we were the only ones in the restaurant at that time, but overall the experience was good.

    The restaurant was empty on a Friday night so it was pretty much dead inside. My party of 8 was squeezed into a small booth with barely any room to put our plates of food. The food was good but I didn’t really enjoy my dinner because it was so dead and empty. I thought it would be people there with nice music and dimmed lights, unfortunately, I was disappointed.
