My wife and I ate there on Friday Feb 27, 2026. The place was moderately crowded . We ate there because the fish fries happening in Marietta were overcrowded and food venue did not justify the wait. The building grounds and parking were every up-scale. My wife and I both ordered house salads and mine was very good - not so much for the wife's salad as my wife's choice of Italian dressing was not good as it tasted like oil . Not made to be served on the side due to settling and container offered no chance to mix at the table. Waitress was not very cordial in making an exchange for fries or explaining about the dressing. Wife ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the colossal fish sandwich . Both orders had a heavy batter with the layer next to the fish uncooked/wet . As we had waited long enough for the meal we decided not to send it back and risk the wrath of the waitress so we dug out the fish from the batter. The fish itself was ok but the taste of wet batter was not very good. We have eaten then 2 times previously this past summer and the meals were ok but we didnt order fish until now. If and that a big if, I go back I wouldn't order fish . I may give them one more shot with a burger however if its not a very good one I will call it my last horra!! On an upnote , the draft selection was very good and the chilled glass a nice touch. As for a recommendation -try it yourself but I wouldn't recommend the fish. read more

It seems the owner has placed all their money into the atmosphere and beauty of the restaurant and had little left to serve good food. The waitress did her best as it seemed she was the hostess and perhaps only waitress, but it was during lunchtime on a Wednesday so that may have had something to do with it. It was my husband's and my first time there and due to the high prices not matching the quality of food, it will probably be our last time. I got the blackened grouper with rice and cooked vegetables. There was no house bread served which I thought was odd considering the $24 entree. The portions were small, not much rice served under the fish. The food was cold and I had to ask for a lemon as my first bite was also very fishy. It was not properly blackened as it was just covered in butter with blackened seasoning on top. I excused the first fish bone I had to spit out of my mouth as I do eat a lot of fish and I know that can happen from time to time, but then I got a second and longer bone in my mouth. I couldn't finish eating it. This was not a quality grouper to say the least. My husband had the blackened grouper sandwich which he said was okay. He realized it didn't have the creole sauce that was supposed to come on it. If the prices were more reasonable, we might give it another chance, but I'll just stick with the reliable Texas Roadhouse. read more

Not my fav... it's a beautiful newer restaurant that doesn't feel like you're in the MOV. But the service and the food were lacking. I ordered pasta and it was very heavily sauced and had very little of the meat and seafood. The bread however was very good so that was one plus of River Town Grill. read more

Plenty of parking. Outdoor patio dining. Excellent pear martini (especially when they have the pear slice) Delicious tips of blu. The portions are smaller now than that we're a year ago. Beautiful establishment. The host acted like he didn't really want to be there. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant in town but has really went downhill since the menu change. We went with friends and service was slow, we waited forever to even get water. I would've ordered more drinks but the server rarely came back. They removed my favorite drink - the Perfect Pear and can't make it off menu. Two of us ordered the white fish specifical and the green beans were raw. One of the staff - possibly a host -was rubbing lotion on his feet in the bathroom. I hope they can get themselves together to get back to what they used to be because I really enjoyed it. read more

It was a great atmosphere and service, too bad the food was cold and not worth the price. The poor server paid the price.

Excellent pear martini!!!!!!! Tips of Blu are a bit smaller than last time but still delicious Excellent wedge salad Loved the monterrey chicken but I need to tell them no chives next time. read more

Very good. Steaks are on par with Texas Roadhouse. Good variety of menu and fast friendly service. The price is little higher ($36 for a 14 oz ribeye) but is was delicious. Took the wife home dessert; a berry moscato tiramisu. Also looks good. read more

Way overpriced for low to average food. $17 fish and chips. Basically empty plates all around. Supposed to be pub style fish. No it's not. A thin piece of fish, maybe cod, not sure. Seemed like tilapia (sewage fish). A few fries. Cooked in some horrendous oil, maybe safflower. Good fries are cooked in tallow. Dry and tasteless. Fish and breading were about 3/8 inch thick. I think it was all institutional frozen. It was so disappointing. For $17, I could have had a great meal elsewhere. read more

New restaurant right on the river in Williamstown. They do not take reservations, so highly recommend going early on a Saturday night. We left at 6pm and there was a long wait of people waiting for a table. Parking was very accessible with a full private parking lot for the restaurant. Bathrooms were clean, server was friendly, and they have a full bar to choose from. It was a little cold and the drinks took a bit from the bar (since they were backed up on a wait). I had the House Salad with Steak and Steak Fries. The steak was cooked to order and the portion was plentiful. P.S. make sure and order the Smoked Old Fashioned! read more

The food has really went down hill. The boneless wings are bad, the pasta is even worse. The pasta used to be really good but I believe they have changed their distributor. Nonetheless, the quality of food has suffered. The ghost pepper wings are not hot, which was really disappointing. The service has been slow the last two times we've been there. Overall, this place is declining in quality and service. I recommend most places in Marietta, which are better. read more

First time and ordered the Wings with onion rings. Also, had appetizer spring rolls. Our waitress was Courtney and she was very polite and well knowledged about the menu and specials. Ohhh I got carrot cake with carmel sauce to go and OMG it was lip smacking good! read more

The food was good and our server was great. However this is the second time I've been there that the hostess acts like they don't want the business. Since we were a table of more than 4 they first said they couldn't do that then said it was 45 min. I said ok then they walked away without writing me on the list to get someone to tell me it would be an hour. When I offered to give my info to add me to the wait list he then started saying it may be longer. Almost just left. read more

Worst meal ever! I ordered the BBQ brisket burger medium rare, waited approx 40 minutes for our meal, and when I received the burger it was burnt. My wife ordered the Monterey chicken sandwich fried and she received it grilled. But that wasn't the problem. She couldn't even cut the chicken with a steak knife, it was so tough and overcooked. Needless to say, it's a shame because we're never going back. read more

I like this restaurant. Good food, beautiful building and interior. You feel kind of fancy eating here, for the area. Expect the price to portion ratio to reflect that it's a little upscale. Our first (supposed to be) server never came to our table, but another noticed we hadn't been attended to and took care of us. I'd go here again, but I probably wouldn't come starving because they were busy and there was a wait to be seated and for food. read more

I was very pleased with our decision to stop here tonight, it was amazing! We sat at the bar and had amazing service. We had the crab fondue, pork chop and prime rib. Everything was perfect including the drinks. We will be returning soon. read more

Do not get the sirloin, it's not good meat right now. Manager even said they've had several complaints, why would you even serve it? We added shrimp on for $10 and only got 3 medium size. That's ridiculous! The manager gave us a filet upgrade and I got 3 more shrimp. And the waitress gave us a free dessert. I only go there because of the half price gift certificates. read more

We came up from Charleston for the soccer sectionals. Normally we head straight to the Boathouse as it is fabulous. This time we decided to see what all was available in the area and landed on Rivertown Prime. it was very easy to find, plenty of parking a newer place in a beautiful setting. Inside was clean and modern. we were seated promptly and our waitress greeted us. I decided on the Monte Cristo appetizers and a chicken caesar salad, The presentation was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the staff at Rivertown Prime for a great dinner. I seen a review that the place had horrible music. I don't know about others but, I don't go to a restaurant for their musical selections. The music was fine it was todays hits and was at the perfect loudness for us. Looking coward to our next trip back And letting all our friends and family know about this Gem! read more

Restaurant was unprepared for an evening during a holiday week. They were out of a few types of wine on the menu. About a half hour after they took order were told they were out of baked potatoes. Kitchen was not being managed and food was not coming out in a timely manner. Manager was walking around handing out appetizer cards but not very apologetic. Took over two hours to get food. Had to send one dish back because it was so overcooked it was inedible. Some items were cold because had been sitting. They did remove the fish we sent back from the bill but didn't offer to make a fresh one. We'll pass on this one next time. read more

This restaurant has been opened only a few months and when they first opened the service and food quality was excellent. New building, and a pretty setting. A recent visit was disappointing. On a Sunday at 5 pm, they were out of bread, even with two servers one bottle of wine showed up while the other was quite delayed. The salads and entrees came out at the same time, one of the party of 6 got her entree (a steak salad when everyone else was finished with dinner). SORELY disappointed since they had an impressive start and now the experience is lacking in only a few short months. read more

Rivertown is consistently top tier when it comes to quality and service! This is my favorite spot to kick it and enjoy a good meal at a fair price point at that! They have a very friendly staff willing to answer any questions and serve with a smile :) The lighting is not too abrasive; making this place easy to relax and decompress after a hard day. The flavors on the menu is what keeps bringing me back, but this time I had to do a review because my server Sam had the BEST disposition out of any service worker I've had the pleasure of meeting in a while. Got my food hot and delicious and never went thirsty. HIGHLY recommend. read more

We went to eat there to celebrate our anniversary. Prime Rib was on the menu for my lovely wife, but I opted for an 8 oz. Filet. Wrong choice! Naturally I ordered it medium rare, but the chef (?) decided to make it RAW! I had to send it back twice (yes twice) to get it to my liking. Of course, by that time my wife was already finished with her dinner. The owner was very apologetic, and took the filet off our bill. Not sure if that gesture though will bring me back anytime soon. read more

My wife and I ate at River Town Grill last evening before going to see the Christmas lights in the area. Our waitress, Emily, was very cordial, patient and thorough as we were not familiar with the menu. We were well taken care of. The food, atmosphere, and service were great. We'll be back! read more

The good was great. Loved the decor. Portions were small thou and prices were high. Think I'll stick to Texas or Logan's

My wife and I have gone here twice now both times have been enjoyable and met our expectations. We sit outside once and enjoy the view. Chicken wings were excellent as was the chop steak our waitress was cheerful and the food arrived. Quickly on our second visit we had the ribs they were excellent. Also look forward to returning. read more

Good food, worst service I've ever witnessed. Service, service service! 5th time and always have to ask for silverware. I sit at the bar usually. One of the guy bartenders won't even look at me. It's like watching disfunction being born. read more

I went to Rivertown on May 15th with two friends. I ordered the Steak Salad with Italian dressing. The server was Greg Grimes. He neglected to add the salad dressing. I then requested the Italian dressing again. He brought it out then, but he proceeded to rudely tell me that he'd personally added the dressing already and that it was already on the salad. It obviously wasn't. The real problem is his very rude response. Even if I would have been incorrect, it's still not okay to argue with the customer. Greg Grimes should have some basic customer service training, or he should look for another job where he doesn't interact with the public. read more

I wish I could rate this place more highly. I've been here several times - from weekends to week days, dining in and pickup to go. The food is pretty good, and the service itself isn't bad. But the waits are unreasonably long. Not sure if it's a staffing issue or a kitchen issue but it always seems to come down to the food being held up for a LONG time. A handful of times we've waited 45-60 minutes for the food. The servers have always been friendly and timely with the drinks. The atmosphere is nice. But I literally never want to go here anymore and no longer consider it as an option because 45-60 minutes for an appetizer even or an entree is just too long! I hope they can figure it out because I'd like to go back but I don't plan to any time soon read more

Food was very good. We both ordered filet and they came out as ordered. We sat on the patio and we're only one of two tables to begin with. Our waiter was originally very attentive and took care of our order. In the meantime, things got hectic for him as he had 6 other patio tables and a 12 top inside. We patiently waited due to us observing how swamped he was. But he ended up only bringing one of the two teas we asked for and failed on taking our dessert order. He was sharing the patio with a female server and she had a total of 3 tables. She looked as if she may have been inexperienced so I figure that's why our waiter was overwhelmed and overworked. He was very apologetic and we told him we understood. It was a management issue and not his fault. read more

Entree's we're not as expected sides were cold and food was just okay. Soup and desserts were spectacular. I think with more attention to the entree's it would be a good value. read more

So this is the 2nd time we've been for dinner. This time there were 5 of us and it took forever to get our food which was not served piping hot as expected. The manager told us there was a glitch in the kitchen that they are working on. We can get a good meal for a cheaper price with better service elsewhere. read more

First time eating here. Had the rivertown burger w a side of fries. everything tasted great and was exactly how i ordered it. Had a watermelon gin drink and it was soo soo good. Would definitely come here again. read more

Burger had mold on it. Additionally, it took 2 hours to get food. This is disappointing I thought this was better.disgusting!

We just had the best dining experience and on Father's Day! We ordered the Monte Cristo appetizer. It was hot, tasty, and enjoyable. I wanted a light dressing on my salad and our waitress, Shelby, suggested their tomato vinegarette and it was delicious! Our steaks were seasoned and grilled perfectly! One of the best. We've had at any local restaurant! Our baked potatoes were hot, fluffy, and awesome! Shelby returned to our table often and was one of the greatest servers we've had at any establishment in a long time. My favorite was part was the GM on duty, Chris (who looks like the owner's twin ) went to every table and asked if the food and service met our expectations! The staff was experiencing the usual pains of having staff call offs but they sure didn't let the guests suffer even a smidge! We travel alot and felt we were in a "fine dining" atmosphere at an affordable cost. We will be back! read more

Back in town for a short period and was looking for restaurants to eat at. This place supposedly has a website, but it goes nowhere. That should have gave me a warning sign right there....stay out! Bar stools have no cushions or padding, so you will need to bring your own to be comfortable. Food was so-so this time around. Philly cheesesteak was very sloppy; reminded me of someone just throwing some meat on a bun and squirting some cheese on it. The hamburger patty was about the size of Wendy's patties. Not sure what they are trying to do here, but it sure isn't a steakhouse vibe. I definitely won't be going back. read more

The food sucks! Worst steak we have ever had! Medium means not well done! Market price on the menu. No where did it say what market price was. I will never go back. I would give them no stars if I could. read more
