THE BURGER:
The burger had a patty of approximately 1/4 lbs. It was a hint over-cooked. It was covered with a slice of processed cheese. The vegetables were excellent. The bun was very toasted, in a good way.
Burger Rating: 7.9/10

THE POUTINE:
The fries were skinless and hand-cut. They were sweeter than most. Not totally crispy, but not mushy either. I got mixed (curds/shredded) cheese. There was a good amount of it. The gravy was of a good consistency. It has a hint of spice to it that reminded me of chicken dipping sauces.
Poutine Rating: 9.0/10

Overall, this was a solid meal. The Riv is one of 2 famous chipstands in Sturgeon Falls and despite going through a couple of ownership changes, the fries have remained the same through the years.
The Riv is located at 235 Main Street in Sturgeon Falls.
