The Story

The River House anchors Plattsmouth's brick main street with a fountain, a café menu and pie that sells out. Cyclists on the MoPac Trail plan around it.

    This is in the land time forgot. It's An old fashion soda/ice cream parlor. From the 20's swing era music playing in the background,to the sandwiches and soup. I was happy with my banana 🍌 split. Delicious chocolate, scrumptious strawberry 🍓 and creamy vanilla ice cream. Visit this place in Plattsmouth NE. You will be happy to take your family.

    If cozy, charming, and just a little bit magical had a meeting spot, it would be The River House Soda Fountain & Cafe. This place is packed with history—like, everywhere you look there’s something telling a story. It’s the kind of café where you slow down without even realizing it. Now let’s get to the important stuff: they serve Black Cows (yes… root beer + chocolate syrup = happiness in a glass 🥤🍫) AND Italian Cream Sodas. It’s giving vintage soda fountain energy in the best way possible. Prices are super reasonable too, so you can treat yourself without side-eyeing your bank account. Overall, it’s a quaint little gem with big personality. Perfect for a relaxed stop, a sweet treat, and a little step back in time. Honestly… it just feels good being there.

    Our meals were excellent, the staff was friendly and courteous. It was quiet and easy to talk while we waited for our food and ice cream. Unique historical interior was fun to look at.
