"If I'm only putting a rating for the food, it'd be 4.5/5 stars. However, our experience here wasn't the best. Our server Lauren took awhile to get back to us and getting our order in. The food took 35 minutes to come out and we didn't even come at peak hour. The wait would have been okay if Lauren came and told us the ETA of the food, but there was nothing f..." Read more

"Overall...Eh. Arrived with a party of 4 on a Saturday and had no wait to be seated outside. 3 of our 4 dishes came after an average wait time. The fish tacos came with 2 small COLD tacos on a very oversized plate. Even the side dish was cold. The other 2 dishes (chicken alfredo and jumbilaya) came out fine and tasted well. The 4th plate however, did not arri..." Read more

"This was recommended to us by yelp, so we decided to give it a try... I would not come here if your expecting some tasty filling food. The food came in small portions and didn't have much taste to it. It felt like they cared more about the bar and drinks, then they do the actual food. We tried the appetizers (spinach dip, and something else), the spinach dip..." Read more

"The chips were amazing. The cod tasted like it had mint in it and the Alfredo was kind of bland. But if you feel like venturing out to see the beautiful view off of the marina, then defiantly go. The wait time was fast, it's not my taste of food but if you like it, go."

"I have been wanting to eat here for 6 months so disappointed. Appetizer was good entree wasn't.  Prices ok, I had shrimp Alfredo the sauce was good but the shrimps were boiled, why? Sauté them first. Nope they were pale white and no flavor. My sister had crab cakes and had to send them back. She said they had a weird taste. My husband loved his fried grouper..." 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..."

"The service was great! Hostess and our waiter, Mike, were so friendly and accommodating. Cocktails were pretty okay/good, crab dip and bang bang shrimp were amazing. Enjoyed the Hawaiian chicken and fish kids meal. The blackened chicken Alfredo was more of soup since the noodles weren't drained at all making it super watery and bland. The chicken on it was g..."

"Beautiful place on the river. Food portions for lunch are smaller than other places but prices are too and no worries about leftovers. Watch time of day and make sure you don't hit a late lunch because we got cold fries when we did that. Otherwise it's a decent place and the staff are friendly."

"They don't take same day reservations. But they save a percentage of the tables for walk-ins. They have a courtesy shuttle from the parking area which is fairly long jaunt out on the pier to the restaurant. We had coconut shrimp & a cocktail at the bar while waiting for our table.We were seated in about 20 mins., maybe less.I had shrimp tacos..." Read more

"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

We had to wait a bit for a table outside by the water, but that wasn't a problem since they have a nice bar area where we enjoyed some mojitos before our meal.Once we were seated, we started out with some of the Island Calamari, which everyone except my pick..."

"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

"Very nice experience, great service and the view is most memorable... especial the wildlife.  At times you may see manatees or dolphins swimming by the pier.  
The food is prepared well but a little overpriced.   We love to come here for the starters during happy hour, which has proven to be best for our money spent."

"Great spot on the water. Great views. Good service. Good food. Definitely recommend stopping in here. We had the calamari which was so so for me mostly because it was over-breaded. The spring rolls were good and the dipping sauce they come with was amazing- best dipping sauce I've ever tasted.  We also ordered the seared tuna (very good), the fried shrimp bu..." Read more

We had oysters on the half shell (sweet, sweet, sweet!), lobster mac and cheese, lobster corn chowder, salad, and several appetizers. My favorite was the lobster corn chowder. I'm drooling as I'm writing this! Best..." Read more

"Blue crab dip appetizer overpriced at $17. People rave about the Lobster Pie. My wife ordered it. I thought it was bland. My shrimp & scallops were also bland as was the lobster chowder. The food could benefit from more layered flavors. Waiter was very good in terms of responsiveness. Perhaps the most disappointing thing was the hostess who seeme..." Read more
