"We have been faithful visitors to Riverhouse for a decade. Recently, we had trouble with our reservation, requesting patio dining rather than indoors. First seated indoors, we were accommodated to be outdoors with a table in wind and shade. We inquired about 2 vacant tables in sunshine but were told we'd have to wait 45 minutes for the vacant table and cash..." Read more

"Visiting dear friends in town and had suggested the Riverhouse. What a nice view we had while having dinner. The service was great and the food selections was even better. Along with live music from the piano man, I would come back here again and do recommend this restaurant. "

"This was terrible food and service. The French onion was awful and was like eating cold gravy.(I returned it). The spring rolls were cold and not great, the sweet potato fries were good but cold. The fish tacos were some chewy type of fish and overcooked. The Mediterranean salad was ok. It took over an hour to actually get our meal and had to ask if we had t..." Read more

"Excellent food and service- had lobster pot pie and salmon salad- drinks were good and not pricy. I'm from Sarasota and this place is a much better dining experience than most places in SRQ. On the Bradenton River with nice breeze."

"Six of us shared an amazing birthday experience here in the second floor restaurant (reachable by stairs or elevator). Everything was absolutely perfect - the Manatee River and marina views, the dining room ambiance, service by Mike, our server, and delicious food. I didn't reserve in time for the Reef & Grill downstairs, so I quickly secured a second fl..." Read more

"Although a drive from Sarasota, the features at the end are worth every minute. It's like driving to Bradenton, crossing a bridge over the Manatee River, taking a left and you're there. This is a special place with outdoor porch seating or inside tables plus a nice bar. I would suggest (but not required) reservations (941-729-0616). Free parking available an..." Read more

"We celebrated multiple birthdays with dinner here. While we had to wait for servers to arrive, it was worth the wait. The food was delicious ... grilled shrimp/scallops, salmon, coconut shrimp, butterfish, fish and chips. And we had the Best server ever! She truly enjoyed what she was doing and she was very attentive ... just wish I had her name to give her..." Read more

"Sitting on the edge of the pier is the Riverhouse Reef & Grill, just across the bridge from Bradenton. We sat outside, overlooking the Manatee River and a marina filled with beautiful boats. All the servers and the receptionist wore masks. For the most part, the diners wore masks, but it was a little hit and miss. The tables were sanitized and spaced out..." Read more

"We were in the area to get a vaccine shot, up from SWFL. Not familiar with the area but we really enjoy waterfront eating and we hit gold finding this place. I'm not sure where you can park free, but we got lucky and parked at the marina in front of the shops. I noticed on street parking as well.We arrived right after they opened at 11:30 and there m..."

"My wife and I lived in Brandon for years and frequented the Riverhouse and went back to FL for vacation and made a point to always eat here.
Sitting outside along the river and eating excellent food and quality service has not changed.
This is a MUST if you visit this area.
Love the RIVERHOUSE!!!!!!!"

"Have some nice water views from inside dining, but nothing like sitting outside with wrap around views. Staff was extremely friendly, and our waitress was always stopping by to make sure everything was OK. Food was served piping hot and everyone's dish came at the same time. No one in our party made a bad lunch choice. Place is very well maintained and extre..." Read more

"Wanted to please special friends and this was it. A rainy night came alive as we enjoyed grouper tacos, butterfish and jambalaya - all delicious. Our waiter Rick was on the mark despite being busy. Covid safety measures were in place."

"Good food, good service, good view. We had the artichoke dip, lobster bisque, lobster pie, and chicken parmigiana. Everything was hot, tasty, and plentiful. We were pleasantly surprised when we got the bill as it was not as high as one would think. We certainly go back."

"My husband and I walked down the pier to enjoy our lunch at the restaurant. For lunch the upstairs was not opened - but it was very pleasant sitting on the main floor inside. We had a lovely view. We both really enjoyed our lunches - lobster pot pie and jambalaya. Service was also good. It was nice also walking on the pier."

"This is a marvelous place to enjoy a wonderful meal. We arrived early on a Monday evening to eat at the Reef & Grill section... good thing because it was quite crowed by the time we left. Loved the view and thought their menu was quite good. I had their Lobster Pot Pie... and what a treat it was with light, fluffy crust and big chunks of lobster meat. Se..." Read more

"We are locales and visit here many times. Always good food, good service and great views. Tonight, it was cool and some rain came in while we were eating, because of COVID-19 recommendations we always want outside accommodations. Victoria (waitress) was great, Alvin (bus and fireman- outside heaters) and the live musician in the side bar made it a great nigh..." Read more

"We made a dinner reservation for our second visit to the Riverhouse one week prior to our annual family trip to AMI. We used a booking website which didn't work out as it should. We discovered the communication breakdown when calling to confirm our dinner reservation on the day of. After a conversation with the manager "Michael", the issue was resolv..." Read more

"Had a fairly large group (15) and our waiter was phenomenal! We all thought our meals were very tasty and the waiter was accommodating. I would highly recommend this to restaurant to larger groups, families and friends. The atmosphere is fun so waiting 30 minutes didn't bother us. The time flew!"

"I tried calling to place an order & they wouldn't let me ask questions about the food that I wanted to order; all they said is you can order it online now. Well there is no description of what comes with the food & I have special dietary restrictions.
What happen to Customer Service??????????????
I can't recommend this place"

"First visit this year. Went for happy hour. Beer prices good on Monday. Disappointed that they don't have their happy hour food menu anymore.We had the peanut butter pie as our appetizer, great. We also had the shrimp tacos, okay but seemed to be more filler than shrimp.Service was a little slow, I think they had our server covering too many tables...." Read more

"Terrible food and service was ok. The server kept forgetting what we ordered. I ordered beef tips and it was very disappointing. Tasted like dog food. It literally looks like what you would get from Walmart in the frozen food section. They just put a slab of mashed potatoes with roasted beef. Nasty. Very disappointed."
