    Mahi Nachos & strawberry margarita

    We came here for lunch on my bachelorette trip. Everything was amazing! I got the Mahi nachos, my friends got the buffalo chicken wrap and turkey club wrap. Everything was delicious and fresh. So were our margaritas. Our server Kelly was fantastic! She was so friendly and the weather was great which made the vibe even better. Deffinitely recommend!

    Delicious fun drinks!

    Love RiverWatch! Been here multiple times and always friendly ladies serving up the drinks and food. Opens during spring and closes in fall. The key lime pie is the best! The fish is always cooked great and the sides are tasty. Free parking in town on the street or in the parking garage across from Doubletree Hotel.

    What a gem we found in the heart of Lawrenceburg Indiana. It's a barge on the river that has been made into a fantastic restaurant. It's a great summer place to have a few drinks eat some good food and watch the boats as they go by I ordered the coconut shrimp which was very good and my hubby had the pulled pork sandwich. They also made a delicious cosmo.

    Burgers and fish and chips were delicious! Not what I expected of this interesting little place on the Ohio River. A busy Wednesday night and was able to get a table for 10 as Nicky the hostes was very helpful in getting us seated in minutes. Highly recommend the funny and very attentive staff. Whitney was awesome and kept us laughing and as we stayed till they closed enjoyed the interaction with the very funny staff. if you get the chance to eat here ask for Whitney or Maranda.

    Love the atmosphere of this place! You can enjoy the nice breeze while listening to your favorite island tunes. Food is pretty good and you can't beat the prices! I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and my dad had the fish and chips. This is what he ordered last time he was here so it must be pretty darn good! The chicken sandwich was good, but the sweet potato fries were AMAZING! The fries were topped with just a little bit of sugar and came with this brown sugar sauce for dipping...WOW, so good. I could have ate a whole basket of those fries with the sauce. Parking is available right outside of the restaurant, at the top of the hill. They have golf cart drivers to give you a lift down if you don't want to walk down the hill (it's a little steep).

    Staff was very nice, outside dining so comfort depends on the weather, lovely scenery, limited menu.

    Eat here if you want a cheeseburger that taste like a brick of charcoal. Can't give a review lower than 1 star.

    Will you still be open for lunch on Sept. 19th? Is there still a golf cart to transport those who aren't good on their feet?

The service was great they really were not packed at all so we were seated right away our waiter checked in on us plenty and was very nice. For the food me and my boyfriend got something similar mine just had rice queso and steak and I got a side of the corn on the cob he got pretty much the same thing but his had chicken and shrimp and we obviously had chips and salsa I got a fanta to drink which I haven't had in a while he had their specialty beer now my food was okay It was kind of bland the steak was good maybe if I had them add peppers or something but it was still good reading it too so that counts I was super excited for my Mexican corn on the cob I haven't tried it at an actual restaurant yet just off of food truck at a festival in the past and I said Mayo instead of sour cream and it had cottage cheese I think it said and a type of spice and I'm not sure if maybe they used miracle whip and I'm just not used to the tinginess or what but it was super sour like overwhelming for. My taste buds which was odd normally when I get it it's Mayo with a splash of lime cottage cheese or Parmesan cheese and chili pepper or paprika when I got home I did take the rest of the corn off the cob and mix it in with my leftovers It was tolerable them but overall I would say it was an okay experience for the food
