My husband & I own a local taxi business, so we are often very busy, but still want to eat healthy, like most of the food is at River City Grille. The issue is, we drive riders all over the Tx Hill Country, including Marble Falls, but don't always get a break around 8 pm to eat. Over the 11 years we have lived here, this town has grown from a sleepy country town to an active little town, attracting people from literally all over the world. Unfortunately most restaurants in this town close at 9 pm!!! The only eating options left are a few fast food places. Since our taxi business keeps us busy, we often eat out. It will be interesting to see how long it takes eateries to extend hours to at least 10 pm!!!! read more

Great food, great service, but my favorite is the view! Love this place. I would recommend it for date nights, family or solo. They hv a bar area. Good stuff. read more

We were in town visiting a friend and she made lots of suggestions but we ended up here and I personally am thankful this is where we ended up at. Let me start off by saying that the staff is some of the friendliest folks I've met. We had a waitress who helped out our waitress and she did it with a smile. We ordered the chips, queso and salsa to start off with. At first glance the salsa looked like it was marinara sauce but it was actually good. The queso was a little thin but still good. We ordered a steak salad and a cheeseburger and both meals were good. The cherry limeade was delicious and seriously I can't think of a bad thing to say about this place. It's located on the water so you can sit outside and take in the views or sit inside and sit by the window and still have a beautiful view. Give 'em a try! read more

Nice lake view restaurant in marble fall, the price is very good for the portion of food. Most of the food is about $10 unless you go for steak. There's outdoor seating as well as indoor seating with large window with beautiful lake view. The service is very fast and attentive. I ordered calamari which are top with cheese powder which seems strange, it's also like a calamari fingers instead of rings. With cheese is not my favorite part. The fish taco came in three large pieces of taco with the two pieces of filet in each taco, huge portion. The green chili burger is juicy and has a good kick to it but the buns are soggy which needs some improvement. read more

I want to start by saying that the service here is probably the beat I've experienced since the pandemic began. In a world where so many restaurants are understaffed and waiters overwhelmed, the team here could not have been more attentive from the moment we sat down. There was no waiting for anything - they were incredibly intuitive and knew just when to check in with us and offer refills or bring extra napkins. 5 stars for the service. The food was pretty good which is why I'm giving 4 stars. I had a delicious green chili burger, but the calamari fell flat for me. I don't know why they sprinkled parmesan cheese on it. My recommendation would be to offer this on the side. Overall, solid option in Marble Falls with beautiful views over the lake. Sit outside when the weather is tolerable. read more

The drinks and the seafood plate were good. Sweet potato fries were good but came out cold. The fish tacos were subpar. The tortillas were stale and the catfish was bland. My wife had catfish on the seafood plate and it was a completely different batter. If you want catfish I recommend the seafood plate, not the tacos. read more

Because of River city Grill is the primary reason I ended up going back and spending a nice weekend in marble Falls. The restaurant overlooks a nice view of waterfront and made for a very relaxing sunset dinner atmosphere. Service was a bit slow and food was pretty good. But recommend it if you're looking for a nice relaxing spot to have dinner in marble. read more

I've recently moved into the area and tried this place for this first time. Although the parking lot was intimidating with how many cars there were, my experience was amazing. The views of the water were beautiful and the atmosphere matched the views. We had the catfish and the chicken fried steak. It came out warm and fresh and was delicious, one of the best chicken fried steaks we've ever had. It was a Friday night and they were packed and some of the tables are a little close to each other but our waiter Sam was so attentive and friendly. Above and beyond! Looking forward to the next time we come here. read more

The food, service, and views were awesome here. We will definitely be back the next time we are in marble falls!

The service and the staff were excellent! They were friendly and helpful. I can't say enough in praise of how we were . The food was very good and the portions were more than adequate. We have already been back. And, frankly, our second visit was so much like the first one that I cannot remember the differences to describe them. read more

I was really hoping for a nice experience here but it wasn't. Visited for the first time yesterday. Staff was young and sloppy. "If you need anything, flag me down" is not what I want to hear from a server. They shorted me on my order with items missing. They also sat a large party next to me and wedged them in uncomfortably close. So close, that the servers kept grabbing my chair and pulling themselves through the small openings as they came and went. Incredibly rude and an A-Hole move on River City Grill's part. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place is amazing!. The view, all the food as we tried fish tacos, fried shrimp and queso. read more

Excellent food, cocktails, and desserts. Waitress was awesome and on top of things, and got our specific food substitutions right the first time, which was a lot since we had a party of 8, 5 of which were kids. read more

Very nice view of the water. The service was excellent ! Chicken fried steak was so so. It was a good cut of meat, very tender but it was obvious the grease needed to be changed in the fryer. read more

I've never seen a shrimp I didn't like. And River City Grille did not disappointed in that regard. It's a varied menu here so just about anyone can find something they like. If it wasn't so blasted hot outside, sitting on the deck overlooking the lake would be tempting. Instead the two times I've been here we've chosen the comfort of the air conditioned dining room. Tables are still spread apart in COVID configuration, which allows for ease of service and privacy of conversations. Service is very good and very attentive. You won't want for much here. Five stars. It's my number one pick to eat at in town and It's been my go-to both of my last two trips to Marble Falls. read more

Went to River City on a Saturday night. Pleasantly busy but not crowded. I have lived in town for 2 years and never made it there. I am glad I did. I got the Green Chili Tacos and they were very good. Service was excellent even when several big tables came in while we were eating. I am going back. Next I am trying the burger. read more

Always stop here when passing through. Never disappointed. Had the catfish and shrimp today and it was delicious. Highly recommend. Awesome view too and very friendly staff. read more

We had friendly service and good food. The portions are big. There is a nice view of Lake Marble Falls and it's a relaxed ambiance. Lots of families, couples and friends dining. read more

Food was amazing and expeditious. The service was amazing with our server Finn providing an enjoyable and comedic experience. I will be returning to this restaurant again, 100%. read more

We had the best service with kathryn!!! I am also in the customer service industry and let me tell you it's been years since I've received such amazing customer service! She always made sure our drinks were full, and she kept coming by to make sure we had everything we needed! She definitely needs a raise, and some acknowledgment for how hard she works. I was observing her and she had five tables and all of them looks extremely happy. Food was great atmosphere was phenomenal and the best part was her service! kathryn, thank you!!!!! If you come here, make sure to ask for her! We will see you next tine we are in town! 10/10 read more

Stopped in with a friend while visiting the area. Beautiful lake view, good service (not great but satisfactory.) Realllly good food. I had the green chili burger, flavorful and filling. My friend had the pork chop with zucchini and squash. OH MY GOSH IT WAS GREAT! Best pork chop I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Fairly priced. Definitely would recommend. read more

Fun & scenic place to take visitors to the area! We had a nice table on the deck and enjoyed the boats passing by. The food was great, and so was the service! The portions were ample! My three tacos were full sized, not street sized. I'm looking forward to my next Marble Falls trip to go again! read more

We had great food-buffalo chicken sandwich and fried catfish. Superb service. One request-the ladies' room needs a new exhaust fan. read more

We tried 'fish cakes' and they were great. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was different and unique. We would go back if we were in the area. We visited during the Bluebonnet Festival. read more

From out of town and had gift certificates to use, so my wife chose the NY steak and I went for a traditional chicken fried steak. I must say that she chose the better entree by far. Her steak was prepared very nicely, the side dishes were tasty. My chicken fried steak was ok, but not notable for any reason. Our server was attentive too, responding every time we caught her attention. That made a nice element of the experience. The room decor is interesting enough and featured local history. There is outside seating, but we chose to be inside. It was a good thing we did. A thunderstorm came up as we were finishing the meal and stayed in the lobby area for about 20 minutes waiting for the worst of the storm to pass. read more

The view and the staff are great unfortunately the food isn't, with a few exceptions. The good: Pork Queso and drinks The bad: I had the chicken fried steak sandwhich or "The Dude", the batter on it just fell off and it was overly greasy and the steak itself was overcooked, rubbery and had no seasoning or flavor. The person I was with had the Chef Salad, it was big but disappointing and plain. The meat in the salad was literally generic packaged deli lunch meat rolled up and cut and placed on top. Maybe come in during the cooler days for views and drinks but avoid the food. read more

Great atmosphere with nice view of lake. Dine inside or outside. Service has been great each time we visit. Large menu selection for whatever your appetite desires. And food is always fresh and prepared to your tastes. Our favorites are the huge salads for lunch and and any fish selection for lunch or dinner. Fish is always prepared correctly. Crispy for fried or baked salmon is superb! Haven't had their steaks but I hear those , pork chops and chicken fried steaks are fabulous. They also have a very nice bar area. read more

Our server was nice The food overall was ok. I was expecting more of a family type of meal. Our server did take a long time to close our bill. Place looked clean, and well kept. read more

The wife decided to stop in today after I had grabbed some mounts from the taxidermist in town. We got there just as they opened and glad we did. We got a table on the balcony. Weather was perfect, staff was friendly, food was good and view is awesome. I had the fish tacos which I loved and she had the pulled pork tacos that she liked a lot. Portions were perfect as was flavor. My only gripe would be paying for salsa and chips. This is Texas! It should almost be a given to have chips and salsa at the table! We will most definitely be making a return trip. read more

We stopped in here while on vacation to eat by the water and were not disappointed. The food was great. I got the famous pork chop and green beans and it was delicious. The atmosphere is great. We sat inside and still had great lakeside views. The parking was easy and even at prime time, we easily got a table. The staff was friendly but the service was disorganized and slow. That is the only reason we aren't giving it 5 stars. read more

We sat outside overlooking the lake and it was so relaxing. Our waiter Damien was very attentive, constantly refilling our drinks and checking in on us. Onion Ring Tower was great - the batter had such great flavor, and that sauce! All our meals were wonderful, including the Skinny Rita (it might have been skinny but it packed a punch!) read more

We had the traditional fried shrimp and the fish tacos. The fish tacos were fantastic. There were three and each one had an entire catfish fillet in it along with coleslaw and a very delicious remoulade sauce. The traditional fried shrimp was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were cooked properly. Very plump and juicy, and were accompanied by very delicious sides of mashed potatoes and string beans. We didn't have enough room for dessert but when we come back we're going to definitely try some of the delicious pies that we saw. If you like comfort food, this is your place. The food we saw it other tables looked absolutely spectacular. We saw a steak sandwiches the next table. That was an actual real steak with very delicious bread. Going to have to try that when we go back. Anyway, like I said, it's really good comfort food. Go get you some. read more

Terrible food. Boneless wings were dry and barely sauced. Burger I asked for medium rare and was well done. They at least omitted the lettuce and tomato I asked for. Buns were dry as well. Their big bad BBQ burger lived up to it's name in the worst way. It had tough bacon, a congealed cheddar blob and was clearly a frozen patty. Thanks for the one sad onion ring on top and a measly amount of BBQ sauce. Server was nice, tipped her 20%. I ate half and left it. read more

All I can say is wow..... I am surprised this place is still in business. I supposed the river view since it is awesome keeps this place afloat. The food was horrible. All 4 salads had wilted brown lettuce. The steak sandwich was probably the worst I have ever experienced. Iraq desert had more moisture that the sandwich. It too was served with brown lettuce and two rubbery slices of tomato. No condiments were served with it. The waitress was sweet and it was not her fault the food was crap. The margaritas were decent. On par with the local chain restaurant margaritas. Go to chilis which is next to this place. read more

Wife and I split Dad's grilled chicken which was pretty awesome. It came with 2 sides so we each got side salad. We also had chips and queso. We wanted the chorizo queso but she messed the order up. No biggie. It was average queso. Our son had kids Mac and cheese and, well, he liked it - hard to mess that up. Was sat outside. It was a nice view and the chairs/tables are a tad uncomfortable but to be expected. read more

So this is our SECOND time here. In town for another golf tournament at Horseshoe Bay. I remembered this place from last time and figured we could give it another try. There are a few more things to note this time around... 1. Staff is underwhelming and not friendly. I mean, they're cordial enough, but for a small town, it doesn't seem like they try to get to know you. 2. The patio- so we were able to get a table out on the coveted patio. To re-use the word "underwhelming", the patio is such, super outdated and could use some TLC. Cobwebs beneath some of the metal mesh dining chairs should not exist if daily sweeping and wiping down of seats were being done. The floor could also use a major cleaning. Rails could use a new coat of paint and the patio could use an overall power washing. 3. No wonder the wait for patio seating was 45 mins long the last time we were out here. They only have about 8 tables out there. And being on the Colorado River, it's easy to see why people would just want to loiter and hang out, which means tables don't turnover quickly. Although we are in the "dreadful times of COVID-19", I believe they could easily place at least four 2-seater tables to dot along the patio rails and still maintain the appropriate/safe distance between tables. 4. I tried the pork chop tonight (the hubby enjoyed them so much last time). They are small, 7 oz. including bone, marinated in a brine overnight. Even found a few whole peppercorns on my chop. I'm used to a simple salt (or garlic salt) and pepper seasoning of my chops, so the flavor was off-putting for a simpleton ingrate like me. LOL! But the brine makes them very moist, so that was a plus and they are definitely cooked over an open flame. I had char marks for days! 5. Had the chips and queso/salsa appetizer again and enjoyed it. I'd recommend that. Re-reading my first review, I realized that I was too generous with the 4 stars last time, so I'm down-grading to 3. My recommendations to management on this trip would be to spend a little money for a minor facelift and add some aesthetic appeal for the comfort of their customers who appear to be "regular" locals and visitors like us visiting the area. This is for both the inside and outside dining areas of the restaurant. Considering the cost of the food here, I don't think this is too much to ask. Please also train your seating staff (hostesses) to be friendly and communicative. This is our second visit and the second time we've felt this area of staff were "cool" and unprofessional. Our server wasn't jovial and offering foot massages, but at least she spoke more than a few words to us and was professional and effective. The 3 females at the front hostess podium are just awkward, staring and make a strange impression. These are the first (masked) faces your customers will engage with and whom will represent your business, your brand and set the tone for your customers' entire dining experience. Take this seriously. I don't think we'll be back. There are other places to try out, but we wish you much luck and success. read more

Nice local restaurant right in the water. They are socially distancing with masks for all so definitely felt very safe. We started with the BK salad which was quite enough to share with a large amount of chicken. I would definitely recommend the chipotle vinaigrette dressing. I had the Buffalo chicken tacos for dinner. The chicken portions were huge and tasty. The rest of the dish was plain but solid. My wife had the fried shrimp. Food quality was overall good. Price a little high for hers for what you got but not terrible. The salad and tacos were quite reasonably priced. Our server had a trainee so not sure if the reason our service was slow but definitely slow service for how empty the restaurant was when we were there. Overall still a solid dine at a local place and would definitely consider going back on a return trip. read more

First time here and the food was delicious and we had excellent customer service. From the moment we entered we were greeted with smiles and friendliness . I had the tortilla fried catfish which had a nice twist of sitting on a bed of queso which added such a good flavor. My husband had the Paul's chicken dish and he loved the flavor and crusted potato chips. And I can't forget about the fried onion tower.. yum! We sat on the patio so had a gorgeous view. I also enjoyed Kathie's sweet tea drink that was very refreshing while on a beautiful day sitting on the patio. Mandy provided us with excellent service! read more
