Our Story
A Northern Neck Family Kitchen
Jim and Mary McDaniels moved to the Northern Neck in 1976 and ran a store in Irvington.
With Mary’s sister Patricia, they later opened McPatty’s Restaurant in Kilmarnock and then The River Café, before opening The River Market in 1994. More than thirty years later, it’s still family-owned and still cooking for White Stone.
- Since 1994 More than 30 years in White Stone
- Family-Owned Run by the McDaniels family

Good to Know
Questions We Hear at the Counter
Anything else? Give us a call at (804) 435-1725. We’re happy to help.
It’s my first time at The River Market. What should I try?
Start with the classics: our chicken salad, potato salad, crab cakes, The Market sandwich, and a Serious Cheeseburger. And don’t skip the soup. The gumbo is a longtime favorite, but honestly, any soup we’re making that day is a good bet.
How do I order lunch or dinner to go?
Order at the register and pick up there, too. In a hurry? Call ahead at (804) 435-1725 and we’ll have it ready when you walk in.
Can I eat inside?
We’re mostly a takeout kitchen, so seating is limited, but you’re welcome to eat at the counter up front. Our private table is by reservation only; see Private Dining to book it.
I don’t see vegetarian or vegan dishes on the menu. What’s the deal?
Just tell us about your dietary needs when you order, and we’ll happily make you something for lunch or dinner. Our catering menu has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, too.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes! We often have gluten-free bread, pasta, and pastries. Just ask, and we’ll tell you what we have that day.
Are the platters and serving pieces on the shelves for sale?
Nope, those are ours! We do a lot of catering, and the shelves are where our platters and containers live between events. We know it’s a little confusing. Let’s call it part of the River Market mystique.
Who runs the place? I’ve seen an older fellow out front and a younger guy cooking in the back.
That’s the family. Jim and Mary McDaniels started The River Market with their son, David McDaniels. The gentleman out front is Jim: the heart and soul of the Market, our resident curmudgeon, and, depending on his mood, a bit of an acquired taste. The guy in the back is David, the culinary engine behind everything we cook. Jim and David own the Market together.
Do you cater?
We sure do, for everything from weddings to Super Bowl parties. See Catering for what we make and to start an inquiry.
