Riverbend Restaurant

All you can eat... Bring a wheel barrow to roll yourself out with...

Awesome as always! Fried catfish or massive ribeyes always fantastic!

We"ve been going here since I was a kid, always best food, friendly service, and family atmosphere. Best dang catfish this side of the Mason Dixon line, good ole southern style food!!

Food was good and hot sweet tea was good a little slow on service one hour to get food from time of order a great place to eat if you have a lot of time

We love their fish.

Great food and plenty of room for everyone.

Worst food and even worse service. Not worth the wait or the prices!

Went there with my family for the first time and loved it. Great atmosphere, great service, and if you sit by the windows you have a wonderful view of the river...

Best All-you-can-eat catfish place in all of Georgia!

I was very disappointed!! The wait was long but that was not the problem. I do not mind waiting if the food is worth it. This was not the case. The food was so greasy we could not eat it. The fries were dripping with grease. The kids chicken plate had 2 small pieces of chicken under a mountain of greasy fries. Like I said we all were very disappointed with our food. We will not be going back.

Always a great experience here! Family owned, great food, great atmosphere, great service!

They were very friendly and the food was good and the service was great. being from out of town those are very important factors. In fact some of our party went back the next night

Love catfish place to go

We had a GREAT EXPERIENCE here. Great service and the all you can eat catfish hit the spot! I will be back!

Great food, amazing service. Always friendly and prompt

Freindly waitresses fast cooking and great food

Fantastic place but still not open right now :/

Food was great. The service was even better. Our server Kayla was wonderful she deserves 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food was good always have been good !! The wait to be seated and served system is horrible they have to many large number groups booking reservations going on at the same time with the regular customers and Customs that are in between the time that is slotted from open to close you're only open for 5 and 1/2 hours from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekends I don't think it's fair to the customer to spend that type of money and time waiting 2 hours and a half to me serve please figure out another way to satisfy your customers

Great place, outstanding catfish. Been going for 40 years. Never changed.

Excellent food! But expect long waits. Beautiful view of the Flint River.

Best fried catfish around! Awsome family owned business. Eaten here my entire life!

The fish were small and cooked overdone. Hard. Oysters had a strong taste. Scrimp good french fries good, slaw good. Fish to hard and small. This was on March 14, 2020.

All you can eat catfish amazing. Have always had the best experience here. If you like catfish this is some of the best.

Great Catfish. Best I've had in a long time. All you can eat. This place is always busy on the weekend when they open. Standing room only. Great views of the Flint River. Private party rooms available. Give them a try.

Great food and personal sevice

Best catfish around !!Make a reservation

Good hole in the wall.....great view of the river

Good food. Great portion size. Great environment. There can be a wait. Reservations is your best bet.

Best catfish around

It was the best catfish in Georgia and portions are very generous!!!

Over 30 years and still frying the best fish around

Excellent food and service. Be sure to call for a reservation.

I grew up eating here and I crave to get back. I try to make my visits to Thomaston on a Thursday - Sunday just to make sure I can eat at Riverbend. Best catfish and slaw ever!

If you like a good ole fish fry this is your place. Generous serving of catfish, hush puppies, french fries, coleslaw, etc. Place usually has a line waiting to get in as soon as they open the door.Great service too.

Make sure you get reservations for 5:00pm on Friday and Saturday. We had a long wait even with 6:00 reservations. The server we had work her rear off!

A lot better than it used to be

The best catfish around, well worth the drive.

Oh my God The Best Coleslaw catfish Hush Puppies oh my God you can tell that it's homemade so good wow I love it been going there since I was a kid me and I'm 48 now so that's been many of year

Worth the wait. Arrived at 5:15 on a Saturday, seated at 6:45 (party of 3). Catfish was excellent. We will be back.

Probably my favorite place to eat Catfish! Great food reasonable prices and friendly staff. But, if you have a group, make reservations, as they get busy quickly.

Always good food and fast friendly service.

Had the seafood platter. Everything was overcooked and taste like it was cooked in the same oil. Waitress was friendly. Definitely not worth the drive.

Always a pleasure stopping in. Great food and service

We will not be going back yes food is great but how they handle their guest staff up front was rude but waitress great got there at 5 when they opened still waited almost 2 1/2 hours not worth the drive on 1/4/20.

Awesome place to eat with great customer service

Overpriced and underdelivered on food. Not worth the trip except for the view from the balcony/deck.

Catfish here is Amazing. Owned and employed by super nice southern folks that make you feel right at home. Highly recommend.

Very good fish!! Slaw, baked potato was very good too. Good service. Nice drive up there.

This was our first time trying it and will definitely be back. We all had catfish which was delicious. The portion sizes of everything were large and even the 3 piece catfish was enough for a big eater. The fries were homemade and delicious, the baked potatoes were cooked perfectly and light and almost creamy. A pitcher of tea was left on the table for your convenience. Plenty of butter, and salad dressing came with your order as well as a good size pickle platter with sweet & dill pickles, lemon, onions and tartar sauce. I'm very particular about hush puppies and don't usually like them anywhere we've been but these were very good. All 4 of us liked them. Well worth the drive. We got there when they opened and there were people waiting when we left 45 minutes to a hour later.
