Smells like sulphur and sewage. It's the location sad to say. It's a decent place that's suffering in a horrible location. Some horrible chemical plant thing going on there. Not going again in fear of living in an iron lung after breathing in toxic chemicals from what ever plant is near by read more

Pulling up, I thought my GPS was sending me on a goose chase. But nope, it actually dropped me off in the right spot: golf course on one side (East River) and Riverhouse restaurant on the other. The vibe seemed Kinda off at first, but the host was welcoming and the waitress struck the perfect balance: attentive but not hovering. I ordered off the HRW lunch menu: chopped salad, jumbo wings (not a happy gal with only 2 flats, flats over drums forever), chocolate cake (wasn't flourless but tasted that way, missing the walnuts) and a glass of house wine. A couple hiccups came up, but the staff fixed them quick. Well at least the ones I brought to their attention. The patio is spacious with city views, probably a whole mood at night. Bar had plenty of TVs going: tennis, golf, even WCT. Basically, a solid spot to chill with drinks and friends... just don't expect a flat wing miracle. read more

After scanning many hrw menus for lunch, I went with Riverhouse because of dessert included. It is located conveniently off of IH 10 East off Hirsch Rd. Parking is plentiful at the river 9 complex. Lunch was bustling and we're seated and greeted right away. The dining room is spacious with a bar having the Hou skyline in the background. My treat lunch consisted of a Caesar Salad, Cheeseburger with fries and a decadent chocolate cake. Caesar was freshly tossed and ice cold. You could definitely taste the anchovies in the Caesar dressing. I definitely know this was made from scratch and I appreciated that. My Cheeseburger was enormous and could have been a little hotter when it came out but it didn't prevent me from eating it. The fries were similarly seasoned like seasoned curly fries, delicious by all means. And to conclude my journey into gastronomy, it was very moist and rich chocolate cake and icing. The nice touch of floral strawberry was nice for the presentation. Did I mention all of this included a house Cuervo Frozen Margarita! As we were finishing up the GM Joe stopped by and was an absolute pleasure to chat with. Very nice guy! Overall you would enjoy your time here because not only is the restaurant the main draw, there is golf and pickleball out back with plenty of outdoor seating and a big screen to catch those H-Town games! Highly Recommend! read more

This place has my vote! The restaurant was quite large, with a lot of lively events going on both in the restaurant and at the surrounding outdoor activities, like pickleball. For food, my girlfriend and I split firecracker shrimp and the chicken sandwich during restaurant week and WOW was it delicious! The chicken was crispy and spicy, and the portions were massive for the price. Finally, our staff was wonderful. Very attentive and prompt to refill drinks, as well as continuous check-ins and quick to bring the check when we were finished. We will be back! read more

My Fiance and I were staying in Houston just outside the IAH airport for 1 night before headed to gavelston for a cruise and really didn't want to have to worry about going directly into downtown so we found this place. Actual hidden gem and will be back. Food: 10/10- highly recommend the firecracker shrimp if you like spicy / hot food. Service : 10/10. Attentive, friendly, and easy to talk to Ambiance: 10/10 SUCH a fun ambiance. They have pickleball, bags, a golf course and separate golf range, ping pong, and a huge tv outside to watch games with a bunch of chairs set up, etc. location: 8/10 - we personally LOVED the location but I only gave it an 8 because it's in kinda a run down area until you arrive. Also if you want to go into downtown , don't go here but if you are okay being a little outside the downtown and want a gorgeous view of the DT, this place is for you. Plenty of parking too. About 20 minutes from IAH airport and maybe 10 from Downtown Houston read more

Ok. Here goes. The place is beautiful. Huge open space. Lots of open air patio. Golf green and pickle ball. Awesome establishment. But the atmosphere sucked. The service was horrible. The hostess was to busy on her phone to acknowledge people, the bar tender lacked any if all hospitality manners and my food was a total lack luster. I was hoping for a good review but I was wrong. Sorry but I will pass next time. Till we eat again read more

Riverhouse Houston is the first eatery to open along the new East River development. For me, our first experience on a slow day was a-ok. Nothing too amazing, but we know they just opened and there's plenty of room for improvement. We started with chips and queso; queso was room temp and wasn't the best. Thankfully, when my pipin' hot fries arrived, along with a turkey sandwich and the beau's premium street tacos (steak), the fries paired nicely with the queso. And let me say, the serving dish that the fries came in kept those fries hot and crispy our entire lunch. Like, boyfriend kept trying to steal my fries. #rude The place is incredibly spacious and has all the outdoor seating you'd appreciate on a beautiful Houston day. Take advantage of the patio while you can before hot as Hades htown summer. Aside from the room temp queso, $18 "street tacos," and ok sandwich, another area they have room for improvement is the menu. There aren't any vegan options; just about everything has meat or cheese/dairy. Even a few sides that are just vegetables (like charred brussels sprouts, roasted carrots, etc) would be nice. Live music is from 5 - 7 PM every Saturday. Also onsite is the East River 9: nine-hole, par-3 golf course, driving range, pickleball courts; Book tea times or pickleball court directly through their website. read more

This place was very nice, open and spacious. My server was excellent and offered great advice. This place sits back from the main road, which provides an excellent atmosphere. My lunch consisted of gumbo and half a sandwich. Everything was excellent and I would recommend this place for a meal or golf. read more

New spot alert! Stopped by for their soft opening just in time for game 1 of the 2022 World Series (Go Astros!). Located in East River, River House is a open concept indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant located by East River 9 (a 9 hole, par 3 golf course). I ordered a margarita and some wings. Wings are huge, great flavor, the drawback was they were a little underdone. Drinks were well made. Definitely will return and add more to my review! read more

Listen...this is a nice new spot in the community I grew up in!!! My friend had her birthday brunch here and I'm hooked to it. I have already told my Sassy Squad (6 friends since high school) that we will be having a brunch here soon. It is only about 8 minutes from my job, so I've added this to my lunch list. Everyone had something different and I heard so many positive sayings from the group such as: "this is so good", "I'm ready to try something else" , "I can't wait to come back", "I'm going to celebrate my birthday here." They have various places to sit. Inside, outside patio, open tables outside, two laid-back chairs with a small table in the middle near the golf course and a square gazebo where you can see Downtown. Great new spot in 5th Ward!!! read more

This place started out really good. I appreciate the views of the golf course and downtown. I use to take my co-workers here for lunch top of the year. However the last couple of time I've gone recently the food quality dropped dramatically. I ordered the Shrimp "Po Boy" for the first time. While the shrimp were good well. It was dry and only thing they put on it beside a subpar sauce was raw purple cabbage. A Slaw would have been a much better choice but that just me. The fries were overly overcooked. They either cooked them in old grease or left them sitting too long or both. We sent those back and got a better version of the same wack fries. The service however was good. The young ladies greeted us coming in and leaving. Plus our waitress was really nice and studying to be a nurse which was super cool. Will I go back... Eh probably not. I felt a little queasy the rest of the day and had to fast today to get it out of my system. All in all like a lot of restaurants in The H, they start our great and then the food turns to boo boo. Guess it was good while it lasted. read more

Great atmosphere...food and beverages were good as well. Nice place to relax and unwind alone or with friends!

TikTok videos brought me to Riverhouse houston & let me tell you the videos / photos I saw before arriving didn't do it justice. From pickleball courts / outside seating / games and golf courses and of course the views of the city I definitely will return Food : was so good , we got chips / queso (6/10, had a bit of a kick to it ) brisket quesadillas (5/10) chicken tender and fries (7/10, the crunch from the outside and juicy chicken inside was so good fries seasoned and cooked well) Service : was super good , quick & we had a waitress who was also training and they both were so sweet and funny! Definitely enjoyed them both The atmosphere : so much to do , so clean and the views of the city 10/10 read more

Man this place rocks! I went for lunch and they improved portions on the steak fajitas which was lacking before. I appreciate that they listened to feedback. Go to Riverhouse for lunch or dinner you won't be disappointed! Delicious! read more

Definitely a dope spot for the whole family, just friends, or a date. The view of Downtown was perfect. Drinks and bartenders were a 10 and I can't wait to go back to play the games on the property. Pickleball, mini golf, corn hole, etc. read more

Had an opportunity to checkout Riverhouse / East River 9. Pretty cool concept in a developing side of Houston, TX. You have the restaurant part which is Riverhouse. Tacos are OK. But the chicken wings are huge and have great flavor. Can't go wrong with the buffaloe sauce. A bit on the pricey side as one canned beer was already $6. And bottled water was $4. Like the golf part of East River 9. You can play 9 holes during the day or even at night. They have lights that light up the whole course to play. Only thing that sucks, is you have to carry your bags and walk the whole course. So be ready for a workout! read more

This was kind of a hidden gem for us. We actually drove past it on the way in because we didn't think we were on the right place because the GPS kept telling us to turn into what looked like a vacant office building. But we were pleasantly surprised with the place. We grabbed seats on the patio and got to see the live band. They were good and the service was too. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Our food was delicious and filling. I wanted to order more but knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. read more

We ate here for the first time today after playing the par 3 and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I wasn't expecting much for a restaurant at a par 3 and pickleball place but I'm glad we decided to eat there after all. Chips and queso, fajita and shrimp tacos were all good so I really don't think you can go wrong with anything here! read more

Riverhouse Houston - Shrimp taco - Golf Near Me - Houston, Texas

Tanner the server was very polite, is something to highlight. But this place's huge potential with the great view, decoration and space is being wasted. Service needs to improve, once we got into the dining area of the club, we stood up there unattended for around 5min, clearly looking disoriented as is not obvious what to do or where to go once you get in. There were like 6 people at a stand at the left of the entrance, but still no one did the minimum gesture to welcome us and explain the dynamics. It wasn't until we approached and ask that we were told who the hostess was and she ask us how many for the party and found a table for us. Omelettes were really bad, they felt and looked saggy, you could sense the lack of love in preparation... for that quality of food is definitely overpriced and on top of that for a very little proportion, flavor wise food was also underwhelming, unsure if the quality of the buffet food is better. But everything we had (omelletes, potato sides, pancakes) was very bad and to fortget. Maybe the queso was decent, but other than that would not recommend having breakfast here. Not sure if coming back, I mean at least burgers and sandwiches seem to be on a better tier of quality. I insist, the place looks awesome, views are great and ambience rocks. But food and staff need motivation and love. Hopefully someone in management that cares about this place will read this and do something about it. read more

Girlfriend and I were visiting from Charleston SC. Great food, great games, even better people!

Just took my Family to brunch here. Definitely can say it's not worth the $45/person price tag. It was advertised as a brunch buffet with seafood and waffle stations. The seafood station only had two types of shrimp, no crab as advertised or other staples like oyster, ceviche....I could go on. The waffle station was one guy making plain waffles. The only topping offered was cheap corn syrup. No other topping in sight until we asked multiple times. What bugged us the most was the poor hygiene of the buffet. None the shrimp was iced properly (just tossed a few cubes when it would melt down from being next to the burners), and when they did finally bring out some strawberries they put them in a crowded section next the the heated omelette skillets and uncooled shrimp. I could also tell that the omelette chefs where using the same skillets to cook the eggs and shrimp. Last but not least we picked up multiple dirty plates from the start. Over all this place is good to hit a few balls of catch a 9-hole game with a bucket of beer. But definitely I would skip this brunch, better off spending your money at Hugo's, or honestly Golden Corral. At least you would have better options for 1/4 of the price. read more

Super cool spot. Bartender was super nice. Food was excellent. Very charming and lots a cool views. Will be back again

The atmosphere and the activities at the facility are great. The food on the other hand is not that great, especially on the weekends when you're having to fight off a swarm of flies all over your food. So if you're sitting directly under a fan, expect flies to be all over your food. So that was my second complaint especially because the manager was sitting there looking at us. (Older gentlemen.) And he did nothing about it. Like at least ask your customer "hey would you like to switch tables under a fan where the flies can't get you?" But nada. My main complaint was that when I showed them my seed oil allergy card they came back saying that they cook everything with just soybean oil. Which is like okay I guess a salad would be cool. But it's still going to be swarmed by flies. So yall see my predicament when it comes to the food at this place right? Haha people are starting to be more conscious of their health and food intake. Give people a plethora of options. At least extra virgin live oil or something. I get it's more cost efficient to just buy the bad stuff I guess. But my thing is at least have different options. Especially when you're paying a fair amount to go out to eat. Overall decent experience with the golfing/pickleball but this place needs to restructure their food court. It defeats the purpose to have grass fed options to just bathe it in rancid soybean oil. No thanks. read more

This is my 4th time eating here. I usually order a cocktail, but today - I got a beer, on tap. Very disappointing, the beer was warm and flat ( Michelob Ultra on tap). The food is better than average. I have ordered the wings, house cheeseburger, and the street tacos (chicken). All of which are good, bordering on average. As for the ambiance, very friendly staff, amazing views, fun course with well-manicured greens. As previously stated, I like the place and come often. But, the food needs a little work. read more

-10/10 would not recommend for a meal. Ordered the chicken sandwich as is, which came out without the pickles, tomatoes, and onions that were listed on the menu. Not to mention dry. Service was worse than the sandwich. Ordered our food only for our waiter to come back 20 minutes later to "double check our orders" which I assume were not entered in the first place. One of the meals brought out was the wrong meal, go figure! ONLY good thing about this experience was the views and live music. Would give this less than 1 star if yelp would let me. read more

Gave this restaurant a second chance. Unfortunately the food was less than expected. Nachos did not live up to the description on the menu. One person in our party ordered a burger well done and it was closer to being rare. Bar service was very slow considering we had one beer each. Our server tried to make up for the disappointing meal experience. The restaurant has a comfortable laid back atmosphere that we all enjoyed. Given that this was a second chance and the experience was less than enjoyable, I doubt that we will be back. read more

The food is not great. The servers are nice, but slow and non-attentive. I live close to this spot, but don't care for golf. I'm totally interested in ambiance, service, food & drink quality.

Came in for a few hours for dinner and drinks - the taco portions were so tiny we wanted to switch for something else but the manager was on their phone in the corner our entire visit didn't even check on us. Then 30 minutes before the "closing" time listed they flipped all the chairs and turned the music off. The bartender thankfully apologized on behalf of their management and kitchen and got my food switched then came back to tell me the kitchen was closed already.. won't be back. Save your money. Get better management. read more

Great food. Great hang out. Little slow on service but the service is good. They need more servers. But will be back!!

Horrible service! Wait staff is so so slow.. waited 30 plus minutes for beer and it was not even busy... Food was good but they are trying to save on food cost by diluted the ranch dressing to water consistency. Food was not delivered all at one time. read more

I stopped by Riverhouse since it just opened and wanted a quick bite before going to an Astros watch party. As you approach, the view of Downtown is great! I ordered the wings and fries. The wings were huge and good. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was it had a little too much breading on them than I usually prefer. Great addition to the area and will definitely be back. They have outside seating that looks great but I stayed inside at the bar. read more

Great place to see an amazing view of Houston. Great driving range. Good music. The food is typically good. However- the service is terrible. This is not the first time, but we used to say the service was bad because it was new. This time I asked to be seated outside, was seated, given menus and then ignored. It was hot out and we had just been on the driving range. The worst part is when we spoke to the hostesses (who saw me get seated 30 min prior)) they didn't care. In addition, as I sat there a lady who looked like management walked by without even looking around to see if anything needed attended. We had planned to eat there but left to go eat elsewhere . Not the first time the service was very very poor here. read more

We read the Allison Cook review and went on a whim. We are so glad we did. This is an amazing space with an absolutely killer view. We went on a nice day and sat at the bar looking at the most stunning view of the Houston skyline. A DJ was playing great music and vibe was awesome. The Bloody Mary was one of the best Matt has had. We were definitely in love by now. Then we ordered food. The shrimp street tacos are To Die For. Order. Them. Now. Matt then had the breakfast tacos. Huge portions with a great presentation. I had the grilled salmon which was yummy. The mashed potatoes were "slap your momma good." I would come back just for them. The service was a bit spotty, but they just opened. It will come together. We have been back already and plan to make it a hang out. Try this place. read more
