fun place in the summer by kathleen h. at InsiderPages

We try to get here at least once a summer. Great food, fair pricing, wonderful atmosphere and the few of the water can't be beat. Great when you have little kids but fun for everyone.

Love it! by Kristin J. at InsiderPages

Old Man river is a great place to take the kids after a nice walk down by the river. The interior is a mix of old americana and humor. The kids love the hotdogs!
