    Mahi Nachos & strawberry margarita

    We came here for lunch on my bachelorette trip. Everything was amazing! I got the Mahi nachos, my friends got the buffalo chicken wrap and turkey club wrap. Everything was delicious and fresh. So were our margaritas. Our server Kelly was fantastic! She was so friendly and the weather was great which made the vibe even better. Deffinitely recommend!

    Delicious fun drinks!

    Love RiverWatch! Been here multiple times and always friendly ladies serving up the drinks and food. Opens during spring and closes in fall. The key lime pie is the best! The fish is always cooked great and the sides are tasty. Free parking in town on the street or in the parking garage across from Doubletree Hotel.

    What a gem we found in the heart of Lawrenceburg Indiana. It's a barge on the river that has been made into a fantastic restaurant. It's a great summer place to have a few drinks eat some good food and watch the boats as they go by I ordered the coconut shrimp which was very good and my hubby had the pulled pork sandwich. They also made a delicious cosmo.

    Burgers and fish and chips were delicious! Not what I expected of this interesting little place on the Ohio River. A busy Wednesday night and was able to get a table for 10 as Nicky the hostes was very helpful in getting us seated in minutes. Highly recommend the funny and very attentive staff. Whitney was awesome and kept us laughing and as we stayed till they closed enjoyed the interaction with the very funny staff. if you get the chance to eat here ask for Whitney or Maranda.

    Love the atmosphere of this place! You can enjoy the nice breeze while listening to your favorite island tunes. Food is pretty good and you can't beat the prices! I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and my dad had the fish and chips. This is what he ordered last time he was here so it must be pretty darn good! The chicken sandwich was good, but the sweet potato fries were AMAZING! The fries were topped with just a little bit of sugar and came with this brown sugar sauce for dipping...WOW, so good. I could have ate a whole basket of those fries with the sauce. Parking is available right outside of the restaurant, at the top of the hill. They have golf cart drivers to give you a lift down if you don't want to walk down the hill (it's a little steep).

    Fish n chips. Loose the chips and get some onion rings worth going hand to hand with a disgruntled groundhog. Service was great.

    Will you still be open for lunch on Sept. 19th? Is there still a golf cart to transport those who aren't good on their feet?

I love what they have done with the building. I love all the artwork that you can buy from several local artist hanging all over the place. They have two arcade games, a pool table and a jukebox. A coin machine for all three. Everyone who works here is really nice and down to earth for the most part. The bartenders were always making sure the place, including the restrooms were always clean. Which is nice for a bar especially when a show is happening. Things can get gross REAL fast. The woman who reviewed this place and said they didn't have cans of beer or draft, I have literally no idea what she's talking about because they definitely have both. They had three beers on tap and I know they for sure had Cheetah by Rhinegeist and PBR in cans. I'm sure they had more. They have a large drink selection at the bar. Apparently, they also have food usually, but the kitchen was closed last night. The stage is small and oddly set up with a weird pillar in the middle, in-front of the stage. But it's still a good small place to play. Just prepare to get sweaty when the room is packed. Glad we have a low key, cool place now to hang out and have shows in Latonia. We will definitely be back.

The…read moreservice was friendly and helpful in describing their offerings - this stationed was run by their employees, not hospital cafeteria employees. I had jerk chicken on penne Alfredo. Topped with sautéed onions and bell peppers, Caribbean slaw, jerk sauce and aioli. The flavors mingled well together with a little bit of spice/heat to it, which I loved. Everything was perfectly cooked and the textures combined worked well together.

I ordered their island rice box: Jamaican rice & beans, Caribbean slaw, mango salsa and of course their jerked chicken. The mango was bright and tart, the slaw was crisp and creamy, the rice soaked up some of the flavor from the smokey and succulent chicken. I would eat this once a day if I could! The plantains were perfectly sweet with just enough sear and caramelization. I actually dropped my first order seconds after collecting it, and they replaced it free of charge rather than let me enact the five second rule. If you see this bright green truck, do not fail to stop!

    A delicious beef jerky store that sells, well, beef jerky. They also sell some of their hot sauces,…read morebut yes, it's definitely a beef-focused little place! They have a single table inside where you could sit if you were eating in, but it's definitely designed as a "take out" place. Since it's located in a strip mall with tons of parking, it's definitely really easy to grab and go like the place intends. PROS: -Super friendly customer service. The owner happened to be there when I came in (and I have a feeling they are there often), and he was really friendly to talk to. It's clear the employees have a lot of fun, too, as they were joking around with one another while I was there. -Wide variety of beef jerky bag sizes in addition to offering little samples before you purchase the beef jerky you want to get. I recommend the sample box of four 1.5oz samples. It even comes in a little box that's great for gift-giving! -No MSG, no nitrates, no nitrites, and no added artificial preservatives. Getting some pretty straight-from-the-source beef jerky here! CONS: -One of the major cons of any small business: they were out of some flavors when I came in. Hard to keep fresh food always-in-stock when you're a small business.

    Wow. I ordered a sampling online....six or seven selections gave us a nice heat profile and flavor…read moreexpectations. Did I say "Wow"? Flavors: Everyone had a different favorite. Sufferin Baaaa was probably the "if you could only pick one" favorite, but Black Pepper Garlic anything and Sufferin Bastard were remarkable as well. We could taste that they use well trimmed top shelf beef. What we did not expect was how great the lamb jerky tasted. Every lamb flavor was someone's favorite. Everyone liked the BBQ beef very much but it was nobody's favorite. Heat Report: I'm a fan of heat to enhance the enjoyment of food. We (Americans) sometimes take a good thing and improve it until it's toxic. There is a culture around making food so spicy that your eyes water, mouth burns and nose runs when you try to enjoy the food that it is intended to compliment. This isn't that. The spicy flavors are indeed spicy but in a way that elevates the jerky instead of incinerating your ability to taste it. One diner headed for the milk, but he doesn't spicy & breaks a sweat when he uses too much ketchup. Me and My Pal: These Jerky treats, made for humans and their canine companions, stole the show. Comments ranged from "marketing brilliance" to hypersonic tail wags. There is an upscale dog bakery (seriously) in my neighborhood. Me and My Pal treats were ranked better than everything there by 3 out of 3 neighbors. I will order again soon (and often).
