Love Riverview Inn. Been going since the 60's. Pretty sure it was the first seafood restaurant. Had several parties there. Wish I didn't live so far away now but always visit when I am back home

Great restaurant off the beaten path – We ate there this weekend and you can't beat the price for a seafood buffet. Only $13.95 for all you can eat. The seafood is fresh and is mostly fish, shrimp (calabash, boiled, etc), deviled crab and oysters. This is a fish camp, so don't expect china plates and cloth napkins. One of the owners was on site and the staff has been working there for years. There is a kid's menu, and they will enjoy standing on the deck and looking at the lake. Be sure to order a Little Pirate for the kids.... read more

Great! I have been going to Riverview Inn since I was a kid, and I actually can't believe all the snobby reviews people put up here. If you know anything about southern food or atmosphere then this place is perfect. I'm no redneck but I can still appreciate the relaxed, at-home, atmosphere. This place was never meant to be "fine dining," just a casual family place. The staff even greets you like family, and not like strangers (and I'm not known as a regular either). The paper plates and silverware are not at all an inconveni... read more

Hidden gem, if you know what to expect – My family has been coming to this restaurant since before I was born. I grew up eating here. I'm slightly offended for the restaurant by some of these reviews here. This restaurant is a 'Fish Camp'. Please look up this definition before you go. It is not a 'Seafood Restaurant', there are lobster, no crab legs. There's no Mahi Mahi, or yellowtail or grilled albecore kebabs. The restaurant mainly specializes in deep-fried freshwater fish (perch, catfish) with hushpuppies, french fries, ... read more

Avoid This Run-Down Joint – After more than 60 years in business, the Riverview Inn seems well past its prime and on life support. The food isn't bad but everything else is very wrong and very outdated. The worst thing about this old restaurant is that meals are served on paper plates, eating utensils are plastic and beverages are served in plastic disposable cups. This may save money on proper dishwashing equipment but it is hardly the way a sit-down restaurant is supposed to be. And the prices are no bargain so it's not as... read more

best seaf ood in town till about 2 months ago. – Use to be great. last 2 times a couple of months ago and last night the buffet food was cold and hard. The walls around the booths and floors was so dirty I was shocked. There wasn't many people there and it looked like old grime. Not just my booth I noticed on the way out all walls and floors was dirty. Still had a 97% rate thought. Where am I going to find great fish now?

Great Buffet – The all-you-can-eat buffet is hard to beat. Lots of old fashioned fish camp favorites. If you're looking for broiled or baked fish, the choices are limited. Does have a major draw back. The buffet line is located in the main dining room, which is ALL SMOKING. It can be very annoying. The non-smoking area is in a room off to the side. Service isn't always up to par in this area and winters can be uncomfortable as they often neglect to turn the heat up "back there".
