Great meals. Fantastic service. Lovely atmosphere with tables over-looking the river. One of our favourite places.

Good food, generous portions, amazing views of the river and excellent service. Food came out quickly and hot. Shout out to the male waiter who served us on the 4th of January. Additionally the woman who took our booking over the phone that afternoon was very welcoming. Some of the most attentive service.

I called the hotel to see if there were any rooms available. JJ advised that there would be a staff function happening tonight. We were offered the family room, which was a fantastic fit. This is an older style hotel. However, rooms are very comfortable and clean. From what I witnessed, staff are very multi skilled and pleasant to deal with. Drop in, say hi, have a meal or a drink or two. You will not be disappointed.

A great experience.
Staff wonderful, service great, food tasty.
Room was good but we had one on the road side and was a bit noisy. If we had of been able to get a quieter room would have been a much better experience.

What a strange lunch experience. Food was very average at best including an expensive beef rib dish. Sticky date pudding had no visible dates and could have been bought from a supermarket. There was a very peculiar system for ordering drinks. We were sent to a different bar from the dining room although available wines were right in front of us. We then waited ages for service. The staff eventually took our drink orders, then went back to the dining room bar to get the exact same wines????
Staff appeared to be waiting for us to go home. They even took away unfinished wine from under my nose.

I watched the staff scrupulously clean every seat after another party had left. Well done. It makes me feel safe to attend the restaurant with my grand kids. Even thought they were short staffed today, we were delivered our meals quicker than at our usual in the e city.
Great meals at a good price. Food and service is great.

So I had tea at said hotel. I decided to order the "riverside grill thrill". It mainly cosists of beef pattie bacon pickles and "secret sauce" the patty was only half cooked and the bacon was pretty well non existent and the pickles were cut too thick for it to be enjoyable. I also asked one of the staff for two dead lizards. She had no clue. I thought to myself oh she must be new or inexperienced until I heard that she had been working here for a while from a regular customer. Our table also received multiple dirty looks through the night. Over all would recommend somewhere else

Stayed one night en route to Melbourne. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Great service and meal. Room was clean and comfortable. Had the ensuite room and very reasonable price. Better than most pub hotels and would stay again.

Had the family room, only one with ensuite. Heater didn't work. Light had blown. Tiny ensuite.comfortable bed. Staff didn't care about broken heater. No off street parking. Hotel meal was delicious, staff friendly. Would not recommend the accommodation. Most expensive night too.

Saw the reviews and we decided to go there. Staff were good and meals came out quickly but then the disappointment set in. The prawn and squid combo was less then appetising, the chips were soft and cold not crunchy as advertised. The squid had way too much batter and crumb and was tasteless. The best part of the meal was the salad.
The garlic bread while ok had virtually no garlic flavour and too much butter.
Mixed up our bill someone else paid for our meal and we paid for theirs, it was about $14 less. Will try the other hotel next time

Went there at 1.30pm staff looked very annoyed as they closed at 2. Place had beautiful outdoor seating looking at the Murray River which had 3 people sitting out there and no one seated in the restaurant we were told to sit at table 3 directly behind the people out side so out view was their backs meal was nice all plates were pounced on the second cutlery was put down staff definitely wanted to go

Very good for a highway side pub and small town, give the parmi an 8/10. Decent portion, delicious Nap sauce and great veg selection on the side. Big fan of the chips/onion rings mix, unique and tasty! Will drop in again soon and can recommend to anyone passing through. Cheers

Food was awful coles pizza base, Thai salad with no Thai ingredients other than dressing. Understaffed, food took 40 min on a quiet day. Won't be back.

I had a burger here and must say the food was outstanding. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the wire serving plate with paper lining, with a burger so generous in size it is difficult to eat from the hand and a firm paper free plate would be the go, and yes I did use my bread plate in the end. But to reiterate, excellent food and service, I'll be back .

Lovely view of river from restaurant and the food was good as well - pub food but brilliantly cooked and served. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms small but comfortable.

Great place to stay.
Was passing through and looking for a sleep over while travelling home from interstate work.
Called ahead after searching on the internet, staff helpful and polite.
Shudders on the windows facing the beer garden and pub to help block out the noise but Friday night for the locals..... go for it.
Thanks and I'll be back

Pretty hard to eat my meal to be honest, I couldn't even finish it I don't really know what else to say about it.
It was that bad.
The beer was so flat and tasted so yeasty the beer lines need a serious clean out or something.. all round pretty average.
Except for the young lady working in the restaurant.
The meal is meant to be risotto.

Very disappointed. Very rude serving staff. Had to ask multiple times for my dinner when nearly everyone else had received their meal. Then my daughters vegies never arrived. To top it off my friends son didn't even get his meal. When I complained I was told 'to show some respect'. How about you serve all the customers at a group table all their meals in a timely manner. Next time I will go to the Ampol Truckstop. Much better mea,l service and value.

Ate here twice over the recent long weekend. Food was great and the service from the bar and wait staff was exceptional. Prompt and very friendly, especially Gabby. Nothing was too much trouble.
Menu was diversified and all dishes chosen were excellent quality.
Will definitely call in next time we're in Tailem Bend.

Very friendly service. Good food at reasonable prices. Food the kids liked too. Chips are the best I've had for a long time. Sitting outside on the balcony had lovely views of the river. Will definitely be back.

Sorry to say the food was quite disappointing. Tried their schnitzel, fish and chips and butter chicken curry. Good Sizing but just not appertising and on pricey side. Their calamari salad was the only hightlight, just.

Small clean and comfortable room. Loved the outside rollershutters, made the room dark so you can sleep during daylight.

The restaurant/ dining room had excellent pub grub food and really good table service. Reasonably priced rooms, food and alcohol. Thankyou to all staff.

Great Publicans at this Pub. A group of 15 lobbed without reservations for lunch on our way back from the scooting. They already had a large group booked but they went out of their way to look after us and followed up after we had eaten to make sure everything was ok. Great food and service !!

We went to the Riverside hotel for dinner and left disappointed. We waited over 40 minutes for our meals and once we got them, they weren't the best. The customer service wasn't great either.

I ordered grilled chicken with mash and the chicken had a massive vein in it and it was extremely dry.

Definitely won't be going back there.

Great pub on the way back home. Greeted as soon as we arrived and explained that order would be taken at the table.
Jessica came and took our order and despite lots of requests for alterations to the meals (38 week pregnant gf has specific demands :) Jessica was more than flexible. Food came out quickly, was piping hot and delicious. Couldnt have enjoyed our service more. Thanks!!!

Stopped here while travelling through Tailem bend. Had a drink on the rear balcony with an awesome before of the river. Found the bloke behind the bar gave great service and the locals were just as friendly. Well worth the stop.
