"The view is good and the food was good. Service was attentive despite the crowd. I especially like the tram that takes you out to the restaurant. This tram is good for the elderly."

"First off, here it is called the Riverhouse waterfront, but on the receipt it says Riverhouse reef and grill. Same address.
The food is small serving but good. Overpriced for what you get. Server was ok. Deserves more like a 3.5 star but rounded up to a 4 star."

"This is across the river and has a very nice setting along the water. It's one of the nicer restaurants in the area. Our food was good and prices were ok."

"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

"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

"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

"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

"Recently Lynn and I joined our car club friends for a late group lunch after visiting the nearby Bishop Museum. Service by Lauren was exceptional and flawless. Lynn had the Kickin Shrimp Tacos (soft tacos) which she said was very good ($13) I had the Fishbowl Salmon ($15) which was delightful. The restaurant is at the end of a pier which might be a hike for..." Read more

"It's an excellent location to relax on the water but a walk from the parking lot. They do have a "shuttle" available if your not into the walk?Service was good food choices also and the meals were mostly on point. The one dish the fries came out cold and the sandwich hot. A new quick order of fries came out hot as they should have been. Full bar availabl..." Read more

"Had lunch outside. Enjoyed a grilled fish sandwich and sweet potato fries. The service was outstanding (Kerry) and the prices were reasonable, but a little on the high side."

"We ate at the Riverhouse on our first evening in Palmetto. The fish tacos were tasty, but the Key Lime Pie was oustanding!"

"You can make a reservation for patio seating, which is great because it guarantees you will be sitting outside. The patio is actual a wooden deck with a great view of the river and right next to the marina so you can watch the boats go by. Fish and chips, pork sliders and grouper tacos -all were delicious. "

"Meal with a great view. This is my 2nd time here and both times had great meals. Had the Hawaiian chicken. Chicken was extremely moist - pineapple salsa not to sweet. Went well with the riverhouse rice. Other party had the Tampa bay crab cakes. Said they were one of the better ones around. Will be back for more sunset meals here. "

"Very nice restaurant with nice views of the water and boats at docks. Lunch was very good and service was good also. Some may consider meals a little pricey, but for going somewhere special with guests or a special occasions, it's worth it."

"We met friends for lunch; it was the first time for all of us. Cheyanne was our terrific waitress! We all were very pleased with our food: french onion soup, lobster corn chowder, baked oysters, lobster pot pie, fried shrimp, ribs, and perfectly prepared salmon. Triple chocolate cake for dessert was to die for. The gluten free cake was subpar...." Read more

"This very large restaurant is right on the water, and is very popular with both locals and tourists. The main attraction is the magnificent water view, especially at sunset. The large menu is impressive, although the wine list is disappointingly limited. Service was slow, perhaps because of the inexperience of our server.We liked our food, and sh..." Read more

"We stopped on our way home from Orlando for a quick supper so we decided to eat at bar. $9 bottles of house wine on Wednesday a nice surprise. Love the ribs here and they did not disappoint. Butterfish excellent as usual. Quick service, bartender was quite loud, but I guess when you sit at bar you give up peaceful dining. He just seemed a little bit show-off..." Read more

"On a visit to the Bradenton area, we selected the Riverhouse Waterfront for a family lunch on a Saturday. The food was excellent and the view/location was too. I would recommend this establishment to any one visiting the area."

"We had a late lunch here today, it was packed but service stayed at an acceptable level. I ordered the lobster pot pie, which I really enjoyed. Had dudes of rice and beans(rather plain and dry), and fries (which weren't great). My wife had grouper tacos, nice big tasty pieces of fish. View was great, fun to walk through the marina to get there. We will proba..." Read more

"You can't top the view north of the river. Our outdoor bartender (Nicole) was awesome and our waiter was 10/10. For an appetizer we had the Spring Rolls which were tasty. Mrs had the French Onion soup and Island Time salad. She raved on the soup and the salad was enjoyable. Make sure and get the Feta Cheese on it she says! I had the Shrimp Basket which came..."
