"Came here on a whim for a post grad celebration dinner from the Bradenton Convention Center. Was seated with no wait time by a friendly front of house! Our waiter (Mike? Brunette with a beard) was great. Another friendly face with fantastic service, we had a few specific requests and he was very accommodating & understanding. Even our busser was on top o..."

"Our first visit here was a great experience. Food was delicious and service was absolutely amazing. This river front restaurant also has some great views. We didn't have a reservation and had to sit inside but even from there you could see the great river views. We'll know next time to make a reservation for outside to ensure we don't have to wait, which we..." Read more

"Today was the first time I tried this restaurant.  I was going for my birthday lunch and I wanted a restaurant on the water.  This restaurant is at the end of a pier and as you walk to it you walk through a marina filled with sailboats.  The food was excellent and the view on the Manatee River was beautiful.  I was treated like a princess by the staff who ga..."

"Some of the best views in all of the Bradenton / palmetto area especially if you like marinas with large sticks in the air. The food is relatively priced for a waterfront dining room of reasonable quality but nothing is earth shattering. There are a number of other things in the area that take up my time and I always gravitate towards this place to have a co..." Read more

"Wonderful service! We got to the restaurant during happy hour, drinks and apps were very reasonably priced. We sat outside and caught a glimpse of a dolphin and the sunset. Food was delicious, and came as ordered. Our waiter was attentive and very accommodating! Highly recommend!"

"Long overdue review!This restaurant is in the Palmetto area. The outdoor seating of this restaurant is nice seeing boats and jet ski's on the river. Hence the name of the restaurant.The lobster rolls here are delicious and you get 2 mid size rolls with chunky slab of lobster meat. It is mayo based dressing and I requested no lettuce o..."

"Great service, great food. We came to visit from out of town and the server gave us suggestions of other places to check out. The only thing I was not a fan of was the blueberry lemonade it tasted sort of like chemicals. I ordered shrimp Alfredo and my husband had the grouper sandwich. And we also had the grouper bites. All were delicious. Server kep..." Read more

"Stopped in at the Riverhouse last night for a first date (I guess she is a regular here for her first dates ), but we had a great time regardless. The place is pretty big, but we made reservations and would recommend doing that for any party trying to eat there. I got there a little early as I was trying to beat the storm and got to meet Murphy,..." Read more

"Their fish tacos are awesome! I would also recommend the jumbalaya if your not in the mood for sea food. I stopeed over again last week and had their salmon and that was awesome as well! mashed potatoes could use some work.
Their drinks are really good, the rum runner is fantastic and blueberry lemonade was delicious!!"

"The dip was on happy hour for $7. Def really good but a tad salty The lobster roll, was a tad pricey, $29.99 market price. I don't think I ever paid this much for a lobster roll but it was good. I didn't like the cole slaw and the waiter replaced it for me. She was also super attentive and had a great attitude, def would recommend this place!..." Read more

"This location is perfect for a great waterfront view. Inside and outside dining, with a great menu and full bar. The view front inside is just as amazing as the outside view. The Snook Deck is a great place to gather with friends for cocktails and live music on the weekends. One of our favorite places to go for a relaxing atmosphere, a good meal, and great e..."

"We've been to the river house a few times and the front of house girls , bartenders and most of the servers are quite unfriendly.... But the setting/view is beautiful and close to home. The food is good ... not crazy good just good. I've never been able to eat upstairs, so I can't vouch for the more upscale menu. Ok, so the reason I'm leaving this review is..." Read more

"Great place to eat before or after a movie! We drive 30 minutes just to get to Riverview AMC and used to eat at the theater. They no longer offer food, but this is a nice, relaxing place before or after a movie (and better than Cracker Barrel or fast food). Friendly staff, quick service, live music... all on the water! Highly recommend and will be returning..." Read more

"I loved the outdoor seating at the Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant. We sat right by the water and under a roof that blocked the sun. Our waitress was quick on her feet and pleasant. We ordered a lobster roll ($29.00), fries ($3.00), lobster chowder ($8.00), fish dip ($17.00) and a couple of rounds of drinks. All of the food was very fresh wi..." Read more

"A friend out of state believe it or not was the one that recommended this place to me. At first, I figured it was just a tourist trap eatery that was overpriced and did not live up to the standards of the best food in Florida. I was absolutely wrong! Riverhouse is very local and the staff out there are quite friendly. The food was great and I will be coming..." Read more
