My experience last night was horrible. The one overarching theme of the entire meal experience was cigarette smoke. The stench blocked out smells of the food and made the entire experience miserable. I had gotten a drink at the bar which was a proper pour. But when I was at the table and my server brought my same drink it was about 3/4 the size of what I had previously gotten just a few minutes before. When I told the waitress the drink was much less. She said well. I guess that's just an outside bar thing. Meaning that she didn't care. She didn't go look into it. She blew it off. She made no attempt to rectify it or justify it. A waitress who doesn't care is not a waitress and needs to be doing something else in addition to that when my meal was brought to the table, The tortillas wrapped, of course in foil to keep them warm were stone cold when they got there. I asked the waitress if they're supposed to be warm and her answer was," I don't know". What good does it do to have a server who comes to check on you and make sure everything's okay and then she doesn't like anything okay. If one cannot enjoy their meal because the overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke, ruins everything and your server has a name, Alexis. Advise you to go somewhere else anywhere else to get a better mail with better service with better ambience read more

Great food, Caesar salad with shrimp kabab vodka tonic a little lite on the vodka. Service quick and on point. We had a group of 8. Seating under the shelters. Sound reverberated so much you couldn't hear two people away. But short of sound conditioning or sitting by the river I'm not sure what could be done. Beautiful setting everyone enjoyed their time read more

Great atmosphere on the Ohio. Good food. Wait staff very attentive. Mixed drinks are a little light.

It was ALL great! We'll be back often. Great outside experience. Fun atmosphere! Good food selection and prices weren't bad either. read more

Cabana On the River - Hail, hail, the gangs all here!!! - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great ambience and food! A perfect place to enjoy the river, friends, music and good food.

We love the setting on the Ohio river! It is very close to our home in southern Ohio and across the river from Kentucky and minutes away from Indiana. Always easy to find seating. read more

Always a great time! Kids got to play some volleyball, we got to hang out and watch the barges on the river. Drinks were cold and the food was great! read more

Our server Amanda did a great job accommodating our large party of 22. I tried the steak on a stick and it was delish.

Except that you will wait a long time Drinks are very reasonable in price Food was good but really not worth a two horse wait read more

You don't really come here for the food, it's all about the atmosphere. The food truly is pretty good, but it's beach food for sure. Lots of fried options. I had a black and blue steak salad that was really good. There was also a buffalo chicken sandwich and fish and chips at the table and everyone was happy with their food. Atmosphere is like you are on vacation. Sitting on the water under an umbrella. Servers were friendly. Definitely recommend on a nice ( but not too hot) summer day! read more

Sitting outside on the river is always nice and the food is good. Service depends on the day and time.

The service, top notched, food delicious and drinks fantastic! View. worth the drive here!

For an opening weekend everything was perfect. The long wait was expected after that their service and food was excellent. Look forward to returning several times this summer read more

The food, the service and ambience were the best! Love the Cabana! I always get a vacation feel when I'm there.

Salads are plentiful. Top a salad with their Filet and it is large enough for two people. The appetizer cheese sticks is plentiful -- a count of 8. The fried pickles are salty to enjoy with a cold beer. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. River view is perfect. Or you can be on covered patio and still see the river but be out of the sun. Plenty of parking. I recommend this place. read more

One our favorite places to eat. Great view, good food and service! I love that they can accommodate large group sizes.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Glad it has reopened for the season! Decent food selection, would like to see some new offerings.

This is an exciting place to come with excellent food tremendous service. if you're looking for a place where your community gathers to have fun then the Cabana on the River is the place you want to be. read more

Ate here for the first time this weekend. We ate right next to the river. I liked the live music as we walked in. I got the coconut shrimp basket and it was very good! Super crispy and not soggy at all. Great flavor and liked the dipping sauce. I want to come back again during the day time! read more

Obviously the ambiance is 10/10. The food is always great fresh. Fish and chips, burgers and BBQ chicken sandwich are fantastic

First time for the year and it sucked! Came down at 4:00 thinking we would have no problem and waited and waited because they want the big groups plenty of open tables but a party of 4 not able to sit at the tables for 6. People left because the wait was so long. read more

Cabana is a great spot for the whole family. The food is great and there's something on the menu for everyone. I love the boom boom shrimp - just the right mixture of flavor and spice. We come here several times every summer and you should too. read more

Beautiful view, fantastic service, great food. Cod was excellent! Did not care much for the strawberry daiquiri though. Next time i will try something different. read more

Sunday lunch with a group. Beautiful afternoon. Perfect weather and a great location. Clean open air restaurant, bar, and volleyball area. Started with some apps. Chips salsa, guacamole, queso, and several orders of pretzels. Everyone enjoyed them. Wife had fish and chips, she says good , not great. I had the grilled chicken salad, not bad , it was ok. This is the general consensus here, asking others at the table, they said the atmosphere location is beautiful, but the food is just marginal if not, just OK. read more

Best wings around!! Great food.. relaxing and a great view! Highly recommend! Good price! I enjoy listening to the band

We decided to try them out because it was such a nice day to be outside. It's an odd restaurant set up with outdoor seating and then sheltered seating. There are multiple bars around the property, but none of them were open. I don't know why none of them were open, since there were a few hundred people there and the main bar was shoulder to shoulder people, so you couldn't order a drink. There were lots of people waiting for tables, but the turnover was pretty quick. We ordered the pretzels with cheese and the cheese sticks for appetizers. Neither one of which is anything special. I ordered the beef tenderloin sandwich, it wasn't great. Two big chunks of meat on marbled rye was annoying, having one of them be very tender while the other was tough and chewy just made me angry. The rye separates instantly between the dark and light swirls, so it doesn't make for a great sandwich bread. The raw onions were just haphazardly strewn across the whole basket. The fries are not memorable in any way. We got the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was dry and chewy. The kids cheeseburger meal is two little sliders. They come just bread, meat, cheese, and they were dry. It seems like a fun place if you're all about drinking by the river, but the food was pretty mediocre. read more

Amazing overall super busy wait time is pretty long but overall its amazing here and view is nice read more

Cabana on the River is entirely outdoors. Most of the seating is under cover. The tables closest to the river have umbrellas to protect patrons from the sun. Because all seating is outdoors, Cabana on the River is only open Spring(ish) through Fall(ish). I am not sure there are exact dates. A quick check at their website didn't offer additional insight. I do know this year it closed toward the end of September and.. I look forward to it opening again next year. The river views are nice and eating alfresco is always nice. I ordered the Cobb Salad with Salmon. Oh my goodness, I was surprised at how delicious it was! It was fresh, the salmon was perfectly cooked, the dressing on the side was a great accompaniment. It's always smart to get dressing on the side else one's salad becomes a dressing boat. Cabana on the River is close to home. We will definitely be back next year. read more

Loved this spot. It's a bit out of the way but we'll worth the drive. So glad we decided to spend time here on a Friday night. Great meal, great service and a beautiful place. Drinks were yummy and we had a fabulous time. Tried to extend the stay to enjoy the view and beautiful summer weather but eventually we had to disappointedly say good night. Can't wait to return! read more
