For an opening weekend everything was perfect. The long wait was expected after that their service and food was excellent. Look forward to returning several times this summer read more

The food, the service and ambience were the best! Love the Cabana! I always get a vacation feel when I'm there.

Great ambience and food! A perfect place to enjoy the river, friends, music and good food.

We love the setting on the Ohio river! It is very close to our home in southern Ohio and across the river from Kentucky and minutes away from Indiana. Always easy to find seating. read more

Our server Amanda did a great job accommodating our large party of 22. I tried the steak on a stick and it was delish.

Great food. Great service. Great view. We always have a good time when we visit. This place is a hidden treasure.

Except that you will wait a long time Drinks are very reasonable in price Food was good but really not worth a two horse wait read more

Food delicious and also the service. The atmosphere is definitely enjoyable. Never had a bad experience.

You don't really come here for the food, it's all about the atmosphere. The food truly is pretty good, but it's beach food for sure. Lots of fried options. I had a black and blue steak salad that was really good. There was also a buffalo chicken sandwich and fish and chips at the table and everyone was happy with their food. Atmosphere is like you are on vacation. Sitting on the water under an umbrella. Servers were friendly. Definitely recommend on a nice ( but not too hot) summer day! read more

The service, top notched, food delicious and drinks fantastic! View. worth the drive here!

Salads are plentiful. Top a salad with their Filet and it is large enough for two people. The appetizer cheese sticks is plentiful -- a count of 8. The fried pickles are salty to enjoy with a cold beer. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. River view is perfect. Or you can be on covered patio and still see the river but be out of the sun. Plenty of parking. I recommend this place. read more

One our favorite places to eat. Great view, good food and service! I love that they can accommodate large group sizes.

This is an exciting place to come with excellent food tremendous service. if you're looking for a place where your community gathers to have fun then the Cabana on the River is the place you want to be. read more

Obviously the ambiance is 10/10. The food is always great fresh. Fish and chips, burgers and BBQ chicken sandwich are fantastic

First time for the year and it sucked! Came down at 4:00 thinking we would have no problem and waited and waited because they want the big groups plenty of open tables but a party of 4 not able to sit at the tables for 6. People left because the wait was so long. read more

Ate here for the first time this weekend. We ate right next to the river. I liked the live music as we walked in. I got the coconut shrimp basket and it was very good! Super crispy and not soggy at all. Great flavor and liked the dipping sauce. I want to come back again during the day time! read more

Beautiful view, fantastic service, great food. Cod was excellent! Did not care much for the strawberry daiquiri though. Next time i will try something different. read more

Cabana is a great spot for the whole family. The food is great and there's something on the menu for everyone. I love the boom boom shrimp - just the right mixture of flavor and spice. We come here several times every summer and you should too. read more

It is my favorite restaurant. I sit on the banks of the Ohio River with an umbrella table and order some of the best food with the best servers in the area! We highly recommend it! read more

Sunday lunch with a group. Beautiful afternoon. Perfect weather and a great location. Clean open air restaurant, bar, and volleyball area. Started with some apps. Chips salsa, guacamole, queso, and several orders of pretzels. Everyone enjoyed them. Wife had fish and chips, she says good , not great. I had the grilled chicken salad, not bad , it was ok. This is the general consensus here, asking others at the table, they said the atmosphere location is beautiful, but the food is just marginal if not, just OK. read more

Best wings around!! Great food.. relaxing and a great view! Highly recommend! Good price! I enjoy listening to the band

We decided to try them out because it was such a nice day to be outside. It's an odd restaurant set up with outdoor seating and then sheltered seating. There are multiple bars around the property, but none of them were open. I don't know why none of them were open, since there were a few hundred people there and the main bar was shoulder to shoulder people, so you couldn't order a drink. There were lots of people waiting for tables, but the turnover was pretty quick. We ordered the pretzels with cheese and the cheese sticks for appetizers. Neither one of which is anything special. I ordered the beef tenderloin sandwich, it wasn't great. Two big chunks of meat on marbled rye was annoying, having one of them be very tender while the other was tough and chewy just made me angry. The rye separates instantly between the dark and light swirls, so it doesn't make for a great sandwich bread. The raw onions were just haphazardly strewn across the whole basket. The fries are not memorable in any way. We got the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was dry and chewy. The kids cheeseburger meal is two little sliders. They come just bread, meat, cheese, and they were dry. It seems like a fun place if you're all about drinking by the river, but the food was pretty mediocre. read more

Amazing overall super busy wait time is pretty long but overall its amazing here and view is nice read more

Cabana on the River is entirely outdoors. Most of the seating is under cover. The tables closest to the river have umbrellas to protect patrons from the sun. Because all seating is outdoors, Cabana on the River is only open Spring(ish) through Fall(ish). I am not sure there are exact dates. A quick check at their website didn't offer additional insight. I do know this year it closed toward the end of September and.. I look forward to it opening again next year. The river views are nice and eating alfresco is always nice. I ordered the Cobb Salad with Salmon. Oh my goodness, I was surprised at how delicious it was! It was fresh, the salmon was perfectly cooked, the dressing on the side was a great accompaniment. It's always smart to get dressing on the side else one's salad becomes a dressing boat. Cabana on the River is close to home. We will definitely be back next year. read more

Loved this spot. It's a bit out of the way but we'll worth the drive. So glad we decided to spend time here on a Friday night. Great meal, great service and a beautiful place. Drinks were yummy and we had a fabulous time. Tried to extend the stay to enjoy the view and beautiful summer weather but eventually we had to disappointedly say good night. Can't wait to return! read more

We were 31st on the wait list at 2:30 PM, which was no problem, so we went to the bar for a drink while we waited. My wife ordered a non-alcoholic beverage, and I had a draft beer that totaled $6.50. Since the minimum charge limit was $10, I offered to make up the difference with a $3.50 tip. Instead of accepting, the waitress curtly told me I would need to open a tab. I had no cash, so that was my only option. What was disappointing wasn't the policy itself, but the attitude. The waitress was not friendly, and in a busy place like this, a little kindness goes a long way. That lack of basic courtesy took away from what could have been an enjoyable outing. I will still tip, but the interaction soured the experience, and I will not return unless my wife specifically asks. It is unfortunate that so much effort goes into running a restaurant, yet one unfriendly employee can ruin the atmosphere. Basic people skills should be the easiest part of hospitality. read more

Perfect weather makes Cabana on the River a must experience. Dining outdoors beside the beautiful Ohio River was such a relaxing experience . The food is awesome and the service is quick. Highly recommend the fries chicken sandwich with a side of waffle sweet potato fries. You may have to wait for a table, but it is soooo worth it. read more

Our group from the Y are at Cabana on the River today. I had a mettwurst sandwich with fries. I found the sausage to be of higher quality than I'm used to. Some of the group had salads that they raved about and many people had to take home leftovers because of the awesome portions. Our server was friendly, fast , and efficient. We usually come here 2 to 3 times every summer while they are open. read more

View of the river is nice. Outside seating is a real plus. Food is better than average. Friendly, laid back vibe.

Everything was exceptional. Waitress was energetic, on top of everything. Had the grilled shrimp appetizer. Fresh tender seasoned just right. I ordered the beef tenderloin medium rare cooked perfectly. Big thick slabs of meat. I ordered it to try something different. I was surprised at the quality and quantity. Beautiful night great crowd. read more
