Northern Rivers Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Robert Farlow
First time back to the Northern since new owners had taken over. Food amazing could not fault it. But was hopeful for new Bar staff, but no, the same rude arrogant male, no greeting, no thank you, no please. This put a damper on the day. Will go back for the food...no purchase of alcohol.

3 Star Review by vicki watson
I have been there on 6 other occasions, and have found that the steak is getting tougher with each visit. Very disappointed as the steak should be the star. The potato bake is jst wonderful.

Slowest service I have experienced in any pub. It was father's day so we booked ahead. On a table for 10 it took an hour for the first meal to arrive. Over the next half an hour another 4 meals came out. They had lost the other 5 orders. They brought out the wrong order 3 or 4 times as well. Average pub grub so pick any other pub in Lismore.
5 Star Review by Mark Hill
Last night we had real pub at great prices, served quickly and all meals were delicious. Pizza served in a box so it was easy to take the leftovers home.
