A Canton Dining Gem You Need to Know About
If you're exploring homes for sale in Canton, Georgia, you'll want to know where the locals love to eat—and Riverstone Corner Bistro, known to just about everyone as RCB, is at the top of that list. This family-owned American bistro has been a Canton favorite since 2012, and it's easy to see why.
Located at 151 Reinhardt College Parkway, RCB offers the kind of warm, country-chic atmosphere that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. With a scratch kitchen turning out delicious comfort food, signature cocktails you won't find anywhere else in town, and a rooftop bar that's become Canton's go-to spot for special occasions, this place has carved out a special spot in the community.
What to Order at RCB
The menu at RCB is full of crowd-pleasers, and locals have their favorites. The shrimp and grits is a signature dish that keeps people coming back, along with the Southern-style fried chicken served with mashed potatoes. If you're in the mood for a burger, the RCB Burger is a must-try—a half-pound farm-to-table beef patty that reviewers consistently rave about. Another local favorite? The Southern Belle burger, topped with pimento cheese, bacon, fried green tomato, and bacon jam.
Start your meal with the fried green tomatoes topped with goat cheese, bacon, and Georgia peach chutney, or go for the house-made pimento cheese served hot with crostini and chips. The fried pickles are another popular appetizer, and many diners swear by the loaded mashed potatoes as a side.
For sandwich lovers, the Reuben and the Southern Club (a triple-decker with turkey, bacon, fried green tomatoes, and pimento cheese) get high marks. And if you're stopping in for a drink, don't miss Shelly's sangria—a potent mix of blackberry, schnapps, and cinnamon that's always on tap.
More Than Just Great Food
RCB isn't just about the menu. The restaurant features a rooftop patio with fire pits and a full bar—perfect for date night or a celebration with friends. Downstairs, you'll find a pet-friendly outdoor dining area where you can enjoy your meal al fresco. The restaurant offers live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, and they've got daily happy hour specials that make it easy to become a regular.
They're open Monday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Reservations are available by calling 770-704-7325, and they're a good idea if you're planning a weekend visit.
