Loved this restaurant. Good food and beautiful views from the huge outdoor patio overlooking the river and dam. Everyone was so friendly too. They are 100% pet friendly. We are going to eat there again tonight!

We have eaten here several times and have had some good and bad food here. Service is always friendly. Their steaks and sirloins are overcooked a lot but this time I got their BBQ Chicken Nachos and they were the best dish I have gotten here!

Very nice restaurant with a fantastic view of the river. Service and food were very good. The fried fish entree was very good and highly recommended.

The food and service are great at this restaurant. I was just there with a large group and were well taken care of during our dinner. The location is also beautiful sitting right on the water with several windows overlooking the river.

The River has a nice location overlooking the river flowing through Batesville. It has a spacious dining room but don't expect elegance. Definitely a family style restaurant. Our waitress was nice and got drinks out in good order. I gave a 3 star rating. Overall food was between a 3-4 star judging from the adults' reaction. My catfish was fine. The kids didn't care about the food, just having fun. Our daughter was left behind with her dessert order after everyone was through eating. Two stars. The waitress was very apologetic and got it to her ASAP. For a large party of 5 adults and 5 children, the waitress garnered 3.5 to 4 stars.

It was just alright. I was hoping it would be more. Staff needs training or retraining. They are lack luster and unmotivated.

Big restaurant with a nice view. Staff was friendly and we were served in an adequate amount of time. I asked for Cajun pasta with a modification of no sausage, substitute with shrimp. I only received shrimp but I didn't miss the chicken. I did however miss the bold flavors associated with Cajun seasoning. Also the sauce was looser than I expected.
