Riverview Tavern Reviews

Great view of the river...guess that's why it's riverview

Awesome location overlooking the river and weir. Haven't eaten their in a little while but it was lovely pub food when we did. It's on the cards to go back again soon.

Fantastic food and a great spot sitting on the deck overlooking the river while eating lunch and enjoying a cold drink. Recommended.

Great location for a quick drink and catchup or even a longer stay with a meal. Large deck overlooking the Ross River, also has plenty of indoor seating with aircon.

Well cooked, generous serves. Pub grub but excellent pub grub.

Attended an AGM in one of the small function rooms. Very well laid out, great food and good facilities. Very busy tavern in a lovely area.

Awesome food great service quiet little pub with cool views. Perfect in any whether or time of day!

Service was good. Excellent atmosphere. A nice place for relaxing drink

Great location, next to the river with view of the wire. Good service and good atmosphere

Extremely helpful staff and very good rib fillet meal.

Food was ok. But expensive for what it is. Was served by a very rude woman. Location is nice.

Good food, reasonable price. Just be aware of what nights vouchers are good for

Have been here twice this month. It was ok the first time so i thought i would give it another go. Very disappointed the second time. Apparently there is a new menu since we were here last. It sux. One salad on the regular menu. The kids spaghetti tastes like a tin of bitter tomatoes on pasta with some meatballs thrown in. Kids won't even finish it. I had the salad from todays specials board. Totally bland. Covered in red onion. The lamb was full of gristle and fat. Will not come back again.

Soooo much food! If your after a good very filling pub meal can't go past this venue, portions are very generous and tasty as well.

And 2 add 1 Barman of 2 other staff orders once and didn't have 2 re order every time probs the most enjoyable experience Xx

Great views,
friendly staff,
mediocre at best while being overpriced food

Big feeds, great atmosphere. just nice place to eat, Drink and socialise

Friendly staff and reasonably priced meals and drinks

A good range of beers on top. A huge deck that looks out over the Ross River. Meals are good value.

Nice staff, good food but prices are a bit on the heavier side for a tavern

Big feeds, great atmosphere. just nice place to eat, Drink and socialise

Nice setting. Dirty tables. Poor service. Slow food service and average food to wait so long for. Won't be returning.

Wonderful food and service, stunning venue to meet you with friends.

Modern venue with indoor and outdoor dining (overlooking Aplin's Weir) with pool table and big screen on the deck and separate sports bar with TAB and screens showing many sport's leagues.
Private room available for functions + pokies.

Excellent Dining Experience.

Hoping to see a return to Live Music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Not as good as I thought before but good enough to spend a night with friends. Not special but good.

Food was good, had a good array of choices and time taken for meal was ok. Trivia night was a bit of fun.

Food and drinks of a good standard served by friendly helpful staff

Rooms, meals, and their prices are superb deals. Always lovely service staffs.

Must try the scenic deck overlooking the river when you dine in.

Great lunch spot overlooking the river. Meals are delicious and large.

Great service. Really well priced meals and very nice as well

The location is great, the quality of food is hit n miss ,I found is normal throughout Lilly white group.

Waited an hour for food and I literally felt sick after eating it. This place is a disgrace. Avoid.

I am so grateful for the attention I have received from the team here at Riverview. I was warmly welcomed even though I came a bit early and, because I am spending most of my time visiting at the hospital, the courtesy bus has been available to drop me off and pick me up. Thank you for taking the stress out of my visit to Townsville. I will be telling my friends about your warmth and helpfulness. Thank you.

Enjoyed the bingo, atmosphere and meal, staff very friendly

For years I lived down the road from the Riverview Tavern, so I've got an attachment to the place. Food has always been decent and at a reasonable price. Ten bucks for a kilo of chicken wings is great value. Sitting out on the deck and having a beer while watching the river is very valming, it's a great spot.

This place is just amazing. The most friendly staff. Would recommend this place very highly.

Friendly service. Lovely food. You only get 1 key per room. Hard when you have more than 2 to a room!

Roomy, good atmosphere, wonderful young staff. Beautiful location

So disappointed with the quality of food. I had a rib fillet steak burger. Meat was cold, no care taken with presentation. No love on the plate. Understaffed bar. I'm usually very satisfied with my experience at this hotel. Not so today.

Got 3 beers in glasses at about 8:15, got a second round at 8:30 and got served plastic cups. And was told we can not have our beer in glasses.

Sorry but the Caesar salad was disgusting. Looked like the leftover lettuce swimming in a clear pool of liquid.

Awesome place to visit and relax overlooking the river.

Food not cheap or anything special, average selection of beers, great location but under utilized

It is a great neighbourhood spot however I don't know if it was because a group of 14 ppl came through after 8pm, we didn't get a friendly reception. The ordering food process seemed abit of a stretch for staff behind the counter. Once given our meal about 10mins later they asked if we needed doggie bags. Like mentioned earlier I am not sure if they felt overwhelmed by the group that came through or that we seemed abit loud but our attempt was genuinely to support our local tavern whilst friends were around from out of town.

Always pleased when we go here. Food is pretty good. Prices are pretty good. Atmosphere is excellent out on the deck looking over the Ross River. Staff have been good each time we go.

Very different from American bars, but still enjoyable. It's the company that makes the difference. Nice outside deck with tables and chairs to use.
