Yamba Shores Tavern reviews
5 Star Review by Jon Waine
Inviting and open venue with a great outlook over the Clarence River. Staff were friendly and attentive. Beer and wine selection very decent with a tasty menu to enjoy. Well priced food, timely service. Great undercover outdoor kids playground for the kids to enjoy while you enjoy lunch and a drink. Would def visit again
5 Star Review by Lauren Waine
Great lunch, great location! Top spot for lunch with the kids. We got a table right near the large covered play ground. Kids enjoyed playing while they waited for their lunch. Water views from most tables with the lower dining area right on the water. Lunch was fresh and tasty- no complaints from anyone about the quality and wanting of food. Noticed they have a proper wood fired pizza kitchen and they were making fresh pizza dough while we dined. Highly recommend if you are in Yamba!
5 Star Review by Sharyn
This would have to be the most relaxed place we have visited in Yamba - maybe due to its location - as its nowhere near the main streets of the town. It was super busy, yet everyone was friendly and in a great mood, which is refreshing to see considering it was the Easter long weekend. The ordering system is organised and the food came out really quickly. We had the Creamy Garlic Prawns and the Crumbed Lamb Cutlets and both were delicious! They have a courtesy bus most nights so dont be put off by the location and head on down to the Tav!
4 Star Review by Krissy Montgomery
One of my favourite watering holes in Yamba. A park for the little ones, a function room and a wharf to feed the fish. What was disappointing was the lack of care taken with the beautiful oysters I'd ordered. With such wonderful produce we have available I would have expected the simplest order to have been delivered spot on.
4 Star Review by R H
Loved the play area for the kids, it is outdoor but with shade sails. The seafood tasting plate was alright, came with four oysters, two bugs, calamari, fish pieces in a sauce and the tastiest item was the prawns. The kilo pot of mussels was also alright, came with a mini French-like loaf. Was told the ribs were good as they did not have too much sauce.

Paid $38 each for two rib fillets both ordered medium came out well done and cold. Pepper sauce was way too hot couldn't even eat it too much pepper added. Lamb rib entrees completely over cooked and chewy Will not return any time soon

Lovely place to have a drink on a hot summer day. Right on the river, beautiful breeze and fantastic views.
1 Star Review by Mack Leaver
Food was less than adequate as well as the wait staff I actually had to wait for them constantly as they would talk to friends instead of serving and were dismissive and rude at times.
4 Star Review by Kerwin Lin
The oyster set is a bit below average but the lamb ribs are amazing. Staffs are very friendly. The view as well as the atmosphere there will be the reason for me to visit next time.
