"Stopped here for lunch after cruising the Manatee River. Neat place. Ate outside on the deck and enjoyed the sun and the view. Good sandwiches, fish tacos, sliders. Service was excellent. Well worth visiting if you are in the area."

"The setting on the Manatee River is beautiful. The food was good but not outstanding. Or waitress seemed very distracted. Did not bring the salads out first, she brought the salads out with the main dish which I find very odd. We went there with two other couples. The size of the table was excessively wide so that you felt that we had to talk louder for the..." Read more

"We had a lovely evening on the deck overlooking the Manatee river and the sky line of Bradenton. Waiter was excellent and very cautious. The dinner was served very promptly and it was delicious. The ribs are the thing to order, they were delicious. The surf and turf needs work. The lobster was cut in half and the size of a table spoon of meat. "

"How could someone not appreciate dining while looking out on an expanse of water, boats, and beautiful scenery - while encountering welcoming people. Bar-seated diners raved about the spareribs with home-made chips. The female server at the bar-seats was very attentive and very welcoming. The entire Marina/ Harbor area appeared fun, filled with different mus..." Read more

"My wife and I dined here this evening and really enjoyed it. Reservations are highly recommended; we had one for 6:30 and still had to wait about 15 minutes. Those coming in without reservations were told it would be an hour wait Our server. Lauren, was friendly and efficient. I had the Grouper and my wife the crabcake sandwich. Both..." Read more

"Whenever we have out of town guests we take them here. We like going here ourselves but it always makes a nice impression on guests, especially if the weather is great and you can sit outside. We've been here so many times but the menu has a great variety so you don't get bored."

"The seafood was over cooked, dry and not warm. Price was over priced for quality. Hope you have better experience though."

"They have a great setting surrounded by water. They have an inside and outside bar along with inside and outside dining. Food is really good, but a little pricey. Loved the lobster pot pie. Also ribs and grouper very good."

"First off, the restaurant is on the pier overlooking the Manatee River. So we dined watching the birds diving for fish and the dolphins swimming up river. The staff called early in the day to confirm our reservations and ask where we wanted to sit. The greater was friendly and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was crowded as there were graduations in t..." Read more

"This restaurant is located right on the Manatee River. If you are lucky enough to score a sunset reservation it is absolutely beautiful! The food is good and reasonably priced. Lunch specials are great! No frills and relaxed atmosphere. No need to dress up!"

"I have eaten at Riverhouse Reef & Grill several times. The food is always good. The service has always been good, and the view from an outside table ( and some inside tables) is really beautiful, especially when it is getting close to sunset. I had ribs last time that I ate here and they were surprisingly good. My roommate had the combo platter and she s..." Read more

"The po' boys have crispy fried shrimp in a toasted bun with a wonderful remoulade that we get a side on top of the stuff smeared on the bun. ( it's that good). Murph was kind enough to leave a carafe of iced tea. Also a hit in any weather. Prices for delicious food ON the water are more than fair. Overall as good as it gets! Enjoy."

"Our waiter was Mark. He seriously cannot be bested. He's the singularly best server around. Bright, quick and a great personality. Our food was perfect - try the smoked fish appetizer. I'd be happy with nothing more but seated with twenty people I never heard a single complaint. We love sitting out on the patio but no matter where you find yourself you will..." Read more

"Loved the view, the food and the staff. Relaxing and satisfying. Only drawback parking is pretty limited so get there a little before or a little after mealtimes. "

"Für eine Location direkt am Wasser ist die Bestuhlung und Deko doch etwas mau geraten. Gerade im Außenbereich kommt hier nicht wirklich Stimmung auf.
Der Service ist immer sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Die Speisen sind recht gut, bewegen sich leicht über dem Durchschnitt. "

"Four of us for lunch. Apps of Coconut Shrimp and Teriyaki/herb baked wings were both good. Entrees were Fish and Chips, lobster roll, crab sandwich. The lobster roll had a bit too much lettuce, which soggy Ed the bun a bit, but all was enjoyed. Sat inside, as it was about 92 on the deck, but still great views. I noticed a couple of dolphins i..."
