Do not go here unless you have at least five hours to waste on a mediocre meal. The location is great but the service and food is nothing to write home about. read more

Service was good, kept our drinks filled. Food was fresh and hot. Place was busy, but our server kept up.

Great food, great service and a relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful view of the river. We were seated right away and our waitress was very attentive. We had the grilled mahi mahi and the grilled salmon. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, food and atmosphere! Definitely a must for summertime dining and/or date night

Always a fun place for the summer month and great food. I recommend their grilled filet kabobs, delish!!!!

This place has an amazing view and good food! We had potato skins as an appetizer they were so so. I had the Mahi mahi on the dinner section of the menu, it was delicious, it did come with some rice that had more of the other stuff than it did rice, it was okay. We also got fish and chips which is kind of a classic meal and it was great. Drinks = Great especially that strawberry daiquiri on the picture. Would I come again? Def yes!! read more

Cabana On the River - Beautiful Views @ the Cabana on the River. - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Had dinner at Cabana tonight. The service and atmosphere were wonderful. Wish I could say the same for the food. Two of us had the fried shrimp dinner. The shrimp was undercooked and cocktail sauce was spoiled. Another person had chicken on a salad. Chicken was chewy and rubbery. read more

First time visit last evening, on a beautiful June Cincinnati Saturday night. Took a small group of both older and young guests. Everyone enjoyed the views and the food. Service was very good. Apps were good and the dinner entrees were also good. Really good value. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Highly recommend the hamburger and pot roast sandwich. Can't wait to go again.

Girl in America flag cowgirl boots , with a tattoo sleeve, is very very rude and disrespectful. This is our third encounter with her being this way. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but she's not at all what we typically get from cabana and makes the experience very uncomfortable. Cabana girls are always spot on and smiling. This lady is very angry with life. read more

We started with the mozzarella sticks (which our waitress recommended we try with BBQ dipping sauce) and fried calamari. Both were very good. It was a large order of mozzarella sticks, more than we expected and dipping them in BBQ sauce was really good. We appreciate the recommendation. The fried calamari was also delicious! We order the Caribbean fish tacos for dinner. It was a build your own taco kind of style and very good as well. My only complaint would be that the waitress never cleared our empty drinks or plates from the table. So we were collecting flies the longer we sat there without the table being cleared. The atmosphere, the food, and the view deserves 5stars. We didn't plan to come here, only stopped by on a whim while in the area and so glad we did. If you are in the area you should definitely give it a try. If there's a wait, get added to the list and enjoy a beer while taking in the view of the river. read more

The food was excellent. Large portions. They don't skimp on the alcohol in their drinks either. It's beautiful sitting outside by the river. The waitress forgot to put in our order of pretzels but she did comp them for us. read more

Great place! Great food and service. Staff are really good! Year after year, those great servers are here.

We went there at 11 o'clock Sunday morning asked to be seated by the water. There was an open table by the water. Little girl said we are in rotation. I will have to see if you can sit there. We sat there and no one waited on us.. Other people came in after us and were seated by the water. They were waited on right away. We left. Seems like they have enough business to turn people away. read more

This is a great place to relax, take in a view of the river a enjoy a meal. Although very busy, we never felt rushed. The goetta bites were delicious. read more

The food was not good at all especially for the 2 hour wait. The ambiance was beautiful and that would be the only thing I would come here for. read more

We are an advanced age group and were seated in an area where we couldn't escape the sun. Our server made no attempt to move us when there were available tables. Or find a way to shield us from the sun. read more

We had the black and blue steak salad, fried pickle appetizer and steak skewer. Food was excellent. Service was good. Beer was cold. Prices are reasonable. Great view of the river! It's kind of a gigantic bar with sand volleyball. Definitely not intimate and romantic, if that's what you're looking for. We thought it was a fun place to go and we will definitely go back. read more

Food is outstanding! Good prices and relaxing view. Well worth the trip. Staff and service is great also.

Cabana On the River - Back deck overlooking a sunset on the Ohio River. - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's a shame that we sat there waiting for a waitress to come over and get our drink order. It was early in afternoon. We were told that it may be a few minutes when we were seated. We opted to sit under an umbrella outside. After 20 minutes and no one. There were plenty of workers around, apparently not our waitress. You would think they would have realized, menu's in front is us and no drinks, that we were waiting. We gave it about 5 more minutes and left I guess The Cabana is now off of our list of places to go. I guess they just don't need our money. read more

this is a great place. At night the lines can get quite long. They have the best hamburger or should I say chopped steak grilled burger and existence. You're crazy if you don't try it unless you don't eat meat. read more

30 minutes to take my order bc she thought someone else was joining me. Only 1 menu. So then I order and ask they sub a side salad for the pita since I have celiac disease. Was told no, so I had to pay full price and wasn't offered anything to sub. Doubt I'll make trek back over here again. read more

Absolutely love this place. The filet kabobs and pretzel sticks are top notch. Servers are very nice and attentive. Tropical like atmosphere. If you've never been, you gotta check it out! read more

Good food, and fun atmosphere. I will be back! The full view of the ohio river is beautiful. There's sand volleyball pits and sometimes live music. read more

Amazing spot! Our family, with young kids, loves sitting next to the river for dinner, and everyone loves the food!

We really enjoy this restaurant during the warm months. Love sitting on the river. Great atmosphere and delicious food.

Good food/scenery/ atmosphere and drinks/music/staff but it is a seasonal restaurant!

We went here with a party of five. The food was mediocre and the fish and chips was some of the worst I've had. Good place to drink beer but find someplace else to eat. read more
