Bristol, IN

The River Inn & Restaurant & Lounge has been serving local residents in Bristol, Indiana for more than 23 years.  Current Owners Bob & Patti Wojtysiak have spent that time perfecting their recipies to ensure their clients, now friends, leave happy and full.  That is not a problem here, we too left with tomorrow's lunch...

You cannot be in business this long without becoming friends and extended family members to your loyal clients, that's why they have gotten involved in Bristol's community.  Patti says, "People are our greatest asset and giving back to our community warms our hearts and those of our patrons."  Makes sense to me too. 

We sponsored The Cardinals, our Bristol Little League Team, we have raised money for Elkhart County Humane Society and when little Karsyn Bell was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Bob, Patti and their entire staff jumped up to bat to raise money for the family's medical bills.  They have ongoing fundraising to purchase and dedicate some playground equipment to donate to Congdon Park in Karsyn's Honor.

The River Inn Restaurant & Lounge, located at 304 E Vistula Street, Bristol, Indiana, has a full menu from appetizers to Prime Rib, sandwiches, subs, salads to blackened chicken alfredo over fettuccine and the meatiest BBQ Baby Back Ribs I have ever had. If we hadn't been so full we would have tackled The Bristol Bomb.  Never heard of The Bristol Bomb?  Me either, but let me tell you what it is...a brownie with scoops of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and nuts and it feeds a family of 4!  I may be going back for this and calling it dinner!  It sounds wonderful!

Looking for a Caterer?  Here they are, from a small dinner party to a Wedding Reception.   As a matter of fact, a couple just recently was married down in the park and had their Wedding Dinner here.  Pretty nice tradition to start!

So, if you are out and about, whether a pleasure trip sight seeing, or looking for a new favorite restaurant, come on over to Bristol and try The River Inn & Lounge, you will be glad you did!
