Play Pokies at Riverview Tavern in Douglas

Second time coming here after the reopen of the menu. I thought I'd give them benefit of the doubt and try coming back after receiving late & burnt grilled fish the first time. This time was worse - they forgot our meals until we prompted service and they had realised they hadn't even put them through after we'd paid. This was an hour after being served. We ordered a coke to tie over time while we waited - the cup had chunks of old lemon and questionable amounts of dirt in it. We were not offered a refund for the coke. Initially staff offered to refund us and still put the meals out, but once one meal arrived they told us to wait 5 more minutes for the other meal. We asked about the refund again and they took our food from the table and said they could not provide both. The venue itself is in such a beautiful location, it's a really big shame that they can't operate functionally. Don't waste your money or time.

My Husband and I have had dinner at this venue numerous times before it was refurbished and it was wonderful so we decided to go back. The refurbishment was fantastic great location unfortunately the meals have gone downhill drastically. My husband and my vegetables were stone cold. I took mine back and politely requested my mash and veggies to be hot. Came back about 5 minutes later still stone cold and my chicken was dry at least that was not stone cold. Won't be returning paying nearly $90 for our order not good enough.

This is one of Townsvilles best pubs. It's situated on the river, with outstanding views and a cool, social vibe. It has you're classic pub atmosphere, with a more complimentary patronage, and shares the best parts of the 4 seasons. I've been going there since it was built and it never lost its touch. Staff are great, the place is clean, the food is classic pub food, and there is plenty of space.

We went out in a party of four. Two of us got our meals, two didn't. Sadly it was a Wednesday night and not at all busy, plenty of staff but nobody even came to check in if we all had our meals. Why would you not check in if everyone has their meals or are happy. Also pizza was recommended but I would say 2 stars.

I like the river view and very relaxing.
The food is great and the prices are reasonable. I had the lamb cutlet for $40 and that was so good. For a branded lamb with that quality I'm happy to pay that with a very delicious mash potatoes and my partner had a steak for $28, he was very happy too.

I can only recommend this restaurant.
