The Riverside Tavern reviews
5 Star Review by Rob Collins
Came here while staying at Crescent Head. So better than anything local. Indoors and outside tables, puppy and family friendly. I and the rump which was delicious with tasty mushroom sauce. Husband had the burger which he claims was one of the best, ever!!! Big claim. Chilled and relaxed vibe with a great menu and quality meals. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
5 Star Review by Johanna Kate
The location is great, it is right next to the river with a great breeze. The food for us was amazing and cooked right after 10 minutes. They have toilets, a bar, games for kids, indoor and outdoor seating and a nice atmosphere. They also play some music and are very friendly, the staff are nice and quick which is nice. The menu is pretty generic but the food is really nice, My biggest issue is they didn't check if we were vaccinated or seat us. Overall very nice place, would recommend.

Nice spot with outdoor garden and great food. The steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and nice cut of beef. Chips was average and the salad had sauce (I hate sauces on my salad) though the wedges were great! The salt and pepper calamari were missing the salt & peeper which was a bit dispointing.
4 Star Review by Alec Macalpine
Really nice meals, trout and the ribs were brilliant! Though the squid was so salty it burned my mouth. Other then that great service with a smile. And lightning fast!!

Good food cooked perfectly. Staff friendly and helpful. Not a huge menu and good value. Beautiful spot and not too crazy. Won the raffle and got a $30 voucher... so I will have to come back.
