I love this place. Visiting from NJ, tried various local restaurants...this is the best by far. Our bar tender Emily was outstanding (makes a great mojito!) and food was even better. Grouper piccata was amazing! Highly recommend this spot! read more

Mattison's has great food at a reasonable price. Conveniently located to the Courtyard Marriott in Bradenton. My waitress Pam was one of the nicest and most knowledgeable servers I've had on my business travels. Mattison's is lucky to have her! read more

Went there with a party of 14. Great atmosphere. Food was really good and so was the band. Will certainly eat here again.

Went here the other day. The bartender Danica recommended an artichoke pizza that was absolutely fabulous. The live music is phenomenal and drinks were on point all night. The service is unmatched to anywhere else I've ever gone. Danica went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Bradenton. read more

Our children gave us a "House Warming" gift certificate to Mattison's Riverwalk Grille. We are delighted to report the "Gift" lived up to our expectations. "Pam", our waitress, was cordial, welcoming, attentive, and, as a bonus, filled us in about Mattison's history and how they arrived to their current Riverwalk location. Our meals were excellent. An unexpected pleasure, too, was live music presented by Shindig. We enjoyed our time and will return sooner than later. A and M read more

We have been going here for a few years now. In the past, the service was horrible but then we got Pam as a server. Game changer. I always ask for her now. She made all the difference! Not sure we would go back without having her as our server. Pam needs to train all the wait staff how to wait tables! She's the best. Not sure we would go without having her as our waitress! Food is very good but without good service, it can ruin a meal! read more

Having Mother's Day brunch here. This is the worst experience ever. Our server Michelle was amazing but the kitchen was extremely slow it took over an hour for our food and I'm dining with a 5yr old and 7 yr old . This is appalling. We went to the restroom and the manager just tried to rush us out of the bathroom even though my 5 yr old is using the restroom. I would not recommend this place to anyone! Flies stared circling our table because the entree's were taking so long. I wanted to give 0 stars but the app won't allow it. This has ruined my Mother's Day brunch experience read more

We had thanksgiving lunch at Mattisons and it was very nice. Great service from the hostess to the serving staff. We had the traditional turkey dinner and it was very fresh and well prepared. Turkey delicious and tender. We sat on the outside patio and our server was Pam who was excellent and attentive even though she had a full station. We are from out of town but would definitely visit again if in the area. read more

Music was great! Food was terrible! The mussels were spoiled and I got very ill from just eating one. Fortunately, I did not go to the ER! The kitchen staff seemed like they were very hung over from the night before. This was a Sunday Brunch! Maybe Friday or Saturday is better! Will not venture to try, not going back. The waitress was informed and did not allow a discount. Shame on you! Where is Gordon Ramsey when you need him? read more

We have been wanting to try it but didn't have the opportunity until this past Sunday and wished we hadn't. I ordered the shrimp and scallop risotta, my wife the grouper piccata. Both were bland, underwhelming, over priced and served on a bed of mush. 2 stars was for the five star service. We sat at the bar and the service was friendly, fast, courteous and attentive. read more

Food was good however Easter Brunch menu was limited. Also I made reservations for 16 and was not told my party would be seated at 2 tables which made us play musical chairs to be able to chat amongst ourselves. Mimosa's was good however sangrias were water down. With checking out we were double charged and it took 15+ minutes to correct the check. I won't go back with a larger party it was overwhelming for them. read more

Perfect outdoor dining spot by the river with lots of interesting choices on the menu, enjoyable live music, and friendly staff (Pam was prompt and sweet). Gumbo was a standout. read more

Wow cold pizza and warm beer, and I think my waiter "Manuel" has left the building. Good news is joints like these make bank no matter how bad it is- and even more so during season... good news for the house that is... read more

Our family ate Easter dinner at Mattison's Riverwalk Grille. The food was excellent...from prime rib, lamb chops, grouper to creme brulee and flourless chocolate cake. Best of all was our server, Pam. She was friendly, attentive to our needs and overall one of the best servers ever. We will definitely be eating at Mattison's again and again and again. read more

Stayed next door at the Courtyard by Marriott and was really disappointed​ with our meal. Based on the prices and menu, we expected great quality and an incredible experience. Unfortunately what we got was a flavorless meal that seemed like a novice chef was behind the grill tonight. Started with the calamari appetizer which was average at best. Followed by a chicken burger (meh!) and some delicious sweet potato​​ fries (best item of the night). Both salads were poor knockoffs of stellar items at better restaurants and my ribs fell off the bone...along with the flavor. A chain BBQ joint on their worst night would have had better ribs! Finished it up with key lime pie that tasted old and was easily the worst I've ever had. Suggestion: serve a frozen pie from the grocery store before making patrons have to eat that one. As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in our hotel wishing we could go over and enjoy another meal during our stay. After this experience, my taste buds just can't trust next time will be better at Mattison's. I will say that Hatley Band did a good job engaging with the crowd with their music. And our server was very attentive. Only things that saved this from a one-star​ review. read more

I am brand new to the area. And moved from Seattle wa to Bradenton Florida . Tonight was my first evening in town . I decided to walk to Mattisons Riverwalk Grille to check out my surroundings and grab a bite to eat . Not only was the food incredible my waiter Devon was one of the most kind and genuine young men I have ever come across . He made my dining experience exquisite. Such a warm welcome to the city . I had the scallop dinner followed by the most incredible key lime pie I've ever tasted both melted in your mouth . It was one of those moments where you closed your eyes with every bite just to savor the moment . Thank you again for a wonderful evening I will definitely be a regular here ! read more

Had lunch again at Mattison's Riverwalk. I ordered the lamb chop salad. YUMMY! The lamb chops really were very good. There were 3 of them and that was perfect for a lunch. Our server was a sweet young lady, very attentive without being "too there". Hubby had the chicken sandwich and liked it. I would order the lamb chops again any day. I probably will next time if they are on the menu. Oh, I almost forgot, the salad wasn't over-dressed. Is that a word? I have on occasion had just too much dressing so always order it on the side but forgot this time. We actually have never had a bad meal there. We went with family (8) who were visiting a year and a half ago and despite being slammed she got all the drink orders right and the dinners came promptly and hot. Can't ask for more than that. read more

My favorite hang out on the Riverwalk. Friendly crowd, and the prices are reasonable. A must go to place in Bradenton.

The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is the appetizer we had: the collard wontons, were very good. I had pizza and salad. Pizza wasn't good at all, came out cold. Salad had old greens that were wilted. Husband had a grouper sandwich that he wasn't crazy about. Grouper wasn't fresh. Service was awful. So slow. We were there for two hours. Our server disappeared and was no where to be found. We sat for over 45 minutes awaiting to pay. Won't be back. read more

Went for the 4th of July! I had the best scallops yet here in Florida. My bf and his daughter enjoyed their food as well! Staff was great too and accommodating. Nice outdoor seating setup. We will visit again as well as the Sarasota locations in the future! read more

Food was good, atmosphere was wonderful on the river, the band had a good selection in their repertoire and our waitress named Toni was delightful. read more

Mattisons food was fantastic as well as there service! Definatly coming here again! Thanks to Pam for serving us and making our night!

Great laid back atmosphere after a long day at work! The Sushi, the Riverwalk Roll, I believe, was absolutely perfect, and went so well with my Extra Dirty Kettle One Martini, complete with Bleu Cheese stuffed olives, that Sarah made EXACTLY the way I like it!! She was friendly, accomadating, and made me laugh. Ill be back! read more

Overpriced & Gross! Ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. 19.61$ later ... the dressing was tasteless & the chicken tasted like dirt. The staff seemed super hardworking & friendly! read more

This place used to be one of our favorite spots. However, we had a horrible experience Saturday night. we were seated for 1.5 hours and still did not have our entrees. Our waitress had an attitude and was very rude. Finally I asked for boxes and said we would take the 2 entrees homes We also requested the check. I asked how long it would be until the food was ready. Waitress had no idea. We spoke to manager and she couldn't give us an answer either. So after 2 hours, we left, never receiving our dinner. Incredibility frustrating and a waste of a night out. read more

Pam was our server. and her service was good. brought our food out fast and hot. Which is her job. So thanks for that, but I didn't appreciate overhearing her talking about her personal stuff to our neighboring table as my husband and I were trying to peacefully eat our dinner. It was a bit annoying. hearing blah blah blah every time i bite into my food. Everything was great except for that. Management, please talk to your servers about this. Three stars for the good food, fast service, and nice atmosphere. read more

We enjoyed our dinner of baby back ribs and grouper picata. Our waitress, Christine, was so pleasant. It was a very hot night, but there are lots of fans and large a.c.'s. This is a patio dining place. There are only two tables inside. We left before the music. We will be back. read more

Live music on a Monday nite - great bartenders and staff - bison steak was perfectly done and delicious as were the mashed pot and veggies Great place read more

Great vibes and friendly staff starting with the hostess. We were there on a Sunday, but opted for lunch instead of brunch. Bruschetta was great and burger was average. I still will be back to try more food, because overall it was a good experience. read more

The server forgot to bring my ordered coffee and I received it at the end of the meal. The incorrect soup choice was delivered to the table. Lack-luster dining experience. Food was average. read more

Skip the brunch food, they've cut corners but not pricing, food is bland and presentation is pathetic. Example, croissant egg sandwich came with flat croissant ( the kind you buy 6 in a bag at publix) the eggs were dry, the meat was hard and the stuffed french toast which used to be full of a delicious cream cheese filling and topped with delicious berries now is less stuffed, less berries and not enticing. 4 of us ate and 4 of us were very disappointed! read more

Atmosphere was great. There is a section for people with dogs to eat separate from everyone else. The appetizer was good but the meat was not cooked to temperature it was well done. I had to send it back and the replacement was also well done. I'm not sure why that was an issue. At least they took it off the bill, but at $20 for one filet medallion it should be cooked properly. The waiter was very apologetic. read more

Went there Wednesday night and enjoyed our visit. We're fans of Mattison's and have gone to other locations and always liked the food. They did a temperature check and (almost) everyone was wearing masks. We liked that they sanitize the salt and pepper shakers. Our waitress Pam was terrific - attentive, but not overbearing. Grouper Piccata (my favorite) and Greek Salad with baby lamb chops were excellent. Our one complaint is that we noticed the bartender (who made our drinks) was the only one not wearing her mask. Dropped a star for that one. read more

Well, Yacht Sea use 2b a fav. Now not so much. 2nd time going to Mattisons. 1st time found out Mattisons changed the fantastic Reuben. Now just ordinary. This time got the Southwest chicken cobb salad. Spring fresh it wasn't. See picture if I can attach. Will give it a 3rd try then I guess find a new fav. Waitress was nice but asked for catsup & cocktail sauce when ordered...forgot to bring...then when asked again delivered them 1 at a time. Love this location but ..... read more

Went for drinks only on a Friday night, sat at bar , good service , very crowded due to popular band playing. Could use more fans and ventilation for people at the back side. read more

Went in and was not greeted by anyone. Couldn't get past the service. Sad as it was real close to our hotel.

My husband and I cancelled a reservation at a more upscale restaurant to get immediate seating here. It's an open air restaurant with water views and a full bar. We were not disappointed! We started with the goat cheese bruschetta and the fired calamari. The bread was delicious and beautifully presented! The calamari was perfectly cooked, light and flaky. My husband opted for the buffalo wings with ranch. The wings were huge and the homemade ranch dressing will make you slap your mama! I had the firecracker chicken sandwich. It was served open faced on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato and red onions. There was a mishap, as I requested the firecracker aioli sauce on the side and it came spread over the chicken. Our waitress, Toni, immediately returned it to the kitchen and brought out a fresh plate. The chicken was breaded and deep fried. It was delicious! I had fries and gave my husband the fresh, truffle mashed potatoes. The food here is locally sourced and the recipes, original. The service was exceptional and the prices very reasonable. I highly recommend this place! read more

Very nice staff, artichoke was amazing! Food came out fast! Burger was cooked perfect, coin salad fresh and yummy! Even on a cold rainy day we enjoyed ourselves! read more

We had a fantastic experience on a Friday afternoon while passing through the area. Our waitress was personable, the food was fantastic (highly recommend the chicken burger for something different and flavorful), and we hope to return someday! read more
