Great location, food was ok, kids loved the playground apart from the big kids running around knocking over the little kids

Love this hidden gem!
Tucked away in the back streets of Yamba we recently visited this awesome place. We waited to be seated and were given a couple of choices but chose inside as there was a playground in full use outside.
We ordered a dozen Oysters, the Crispy Cauliflower and the Prawn Bruschetta to share. All the dishes were delicious and were served quickly. The Cauliflower in particular was a stand out!

This place has different locations to eat at (with the most popular by the water) so if you want to avoid the noise then inside is the go.
Also, the staff here are so friendly and helpful. We had a great conversation with the bar staff (which was quickly joined by a local) and had a few laughs before heading off. Definitely felt comfortable here - so much so that we will be back next time we visit Yamba!!

Disappointing family dinner. Not enough staff to deliver meals to tables. Had to find our own cutlery and napkins after being seated by staff at the entrance to our table. None on our table. We had the smallest Oysters Kilpatrick we've ever had. They were the size of a teaspoon x 6 for $20 going price everywhere else but larger. Disappointing in an area that has locally caught seafood. ? Don't recommend &
Would not return or recommend.

Service is okay, food is generally pretty nice. Great play ground to entertain kids while you eat and/or drink. PRO TIP: Bring bread and feed the fish down on the dock.

Located in a beautiful spot on the river, with a fair amount of outdoor/river view seating

The food was decent but a bit expensive, limited menu items available...

The bar seating was the only space available for a solo person and the vibe inside was not overly enjoyable compared to how the outside seating appeared.

Food was served quickly and the drinks were well made :)

This place is outstanding as a venue. Walking in you really are blown away by the view on the water and they have set this up to take advantage of this with a huge number of table along the waters edge and others with just as good a view near by. Service was outstanding and very friendly. I was only eating light and ordered the calamari. It was tasty but not fried well enough so was a but soggy hence the 3 stars for food. You can't go to Yamba without stopping here for a beer or two or three!!!

Exactly what I expected for a tavern meal.

Situated right on the water, with great views. The playground for the kids is adjacent to the dining area but not fenced on that side (be careful supervising if you have munchkins prone to bolting). Staff actively encourage you to use the QR code on the table to order - but there's a significant fee to use this service. You can order near the bar and pay cash or EFT (with a surcharge for the latter, about 0.6%) - just make a mental note of your table number (there's too many tables to just point at yours!)

Pricing was reasonable for the food quality, service and location. My entree was oysters with a Jalapeņo and Lime mignonette - excellent, complementary flavours. My main was the 1KG pot of mussels with chilli, garlic, white wine in a tomato broth. Mussels were well cooked, with plenty of garlic. A little one dimensional with the tomato flavour overpowering everything except the garlic flavour. The supplied mini baguette was a bit of a let down being incredibly dense in texture.

Service not exactly warm but not poor either. Drink pricing is reasonable.

Lovely dinner at the Tavern! Pub-style food was good (just a little salty) reasonably priced and came out quickly. The tavern itself was very clean and had the most beautiful outlook across the River. Was great to have the kids playground also! Would highly recommend if you're in the Yamba area.

Food was mostly fantastic, vibe was excellent.
We ordered the Beef Bang Bang salad, prawn & chorizo linguine, fish & chips. All were fabulous.
The kids chicken nuggets are just those frozen dinosaur ones, which usually aren't good, but they were cooked well and my son loved them.
Don't order the fried cauliflower. Had a weird batter and the sauce was so sweet I nearly couldn't eat it.

We'll, we were in Yamba a couple of years ago & didn't know this place existed. Perfect location. Great food. Friendly staff. Good beer & wine selection. A great kids play area. All this & a courtesy bus!

Great lunch, great location! Top spot for lunch with the kids. We got a table right near the large covered play ground. Kids enjoyed playing while they waited for their lunch. Water views from most tables with the lower dining area right on the water.
Lunch was fresh and tasty- no complaints from anyone about the quality and wanting of food.
Noticed they have a proper wood fired pizza kitchen and they were making fresh pizza dough while we dined.
Highly recommend if you are in Yamba!

Inviting and open venue with a great outlook over the Clarence River. Staff were friendly and attentive. Beer and wine selection very decent with a tasty menu to enjoy. Well priced food, timely service. Great undercover outdoor kids playground for the kids to enjoy while you enjoy lunch and a drink. Would def visit again

Loved the play area for the kids, it is outdoor but with shade sails.

The seafood tasting plate was alright, came with four oysters, two bugs, calamari, fish pieces in a sauce and the tastiest item was the prawns.

The kilo pot of mussels was also alright, came with a mini French-like loaf.

Was told the ribs were good as they did not have too much sauce.

One of my favourite watering holes in Yamba. A park for the little ones, a function room and a wharf to feed the fish. What was disappointing was the lack of care taken with the beautiful oysters I'd ordered. With such wonderful produce we have available I would have expected the simplest order to have been delivered spot on.

Views are amazing especially at sun set. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food great choice and tasted good.

This would have to be the most relaxed place we have visited in Yamba - maybe due to its location - as it's nowhere near the main streets of the town.

It was super busy, yet everyone was friendly and in a great mood, which is refreshing to see considering it was the Easter long weekend.

The ordering system is organised and the food came out really quickly. We had the Creamy Garlic Prawns and the Crumbed Lamb Cutlets and both were delicious!

They have a courtesy bus most nights so don't be put off by the location and head on down to the Tav!

The tavern is on probably one of the most picturesque sites in Yamba. Food is great and staff are excellent. The only problem until recently was the length of queues on busy days, however their new online food app makes everything easy. No queues for food and you can relax with a beer or wine while waiting for your lunch or dinner. It is even possible to order pizza online via their website and get a text when it is ready for pickup. Great to see the Tavern continuing to improve their offering

Great pub for the whole family. Little tucked out of the way and perhaps hard to find by accident but on the foreshore of the Yamba River. Massive big deck and all that modern pub needs including sports bar, April tables and family dining areas.

Very broad menu selection and had several people dining with us no one had any complaints whatsoever.

The deck has a great view for sunset. Highly recommend if in Yamba.

Easily the best food in Yamba.
Very friendly staff who went out of there way for us.
Has a courtesy bus to collect and drop off after.
Good facilities for kids too.
Thoroughly recommend dining here.

Was a little disappointed today with the service. We were assured when we arrived that the line up to order food was 'moving quick and was taking a few minutes to clear', only to stand in the line for 58 minutes just to order. There was one girl taking orders and putting together the boxes with forks, serviettes, etc. please look at having more people assisting the order taker with packing the cutlery and ask that your staff to not provide misleading information at the entrance.

It was quick and typical bistro food.If you want a family friendly place with fast food then this is the place for you to visit in Yamba.The views are great too! :)
