Don and Laurie Riley have been boaters in the Kawarthas for a long time, so when they saw that the former Water’s Edge Restaurant in Bobcaygeon was available, they jumped on the opportunity to open their own restaurant. Called Riley’s Bar and Grill, the first order of business was to renovate the building to allow them to open year-round. Open Thursday through Sunday for now, they’ll move to full hours the Victoria Day weekend. Meanwhile you can check out their unique menu items like chicken and waffle, their own Riley’s fresh baked warm bread, wraps, salads, a children’s menu and more.
