This is a meeting point for young people. Busy and loud. Good pizzas. Nice location on the water front. Off peak times its a nice place to relax and enjoy the view and have a drink and some food.

Been here twice in the last week, the first time here it took over 15 minutes for my drink to arrive.
Gave it a shot again tonight with a mate, understaffed again waited a long time for the drinks to come out. The steak was over priced for what you got and you forgot the sauce that we paid for and we asked for medium rare and it was medium to well done. The scallops didnt taste fresh at all and were tough with a strong fish flavour. Lastly the calamari was tough and dry. Unfortunately we walked out and left the food on the table to go elsewhere. I rarely leave 1 star reviews however very

My second visit to Riverbar & Kitchen. We were quickly greeted at the entrance by a staff member and given an option of tables. We chose to sit inside to enjoy the air-conditioning and the seating with back support. Accessibility was very good. Our orders were promptly taken by our friendly waiter, which was great because I prefer placing an order in person. There was also the option of contactless ordering via the ME&U QR code on the table (no app required). This is good for groups who want to pay seperately. Keep in mind that, at the time of writing this, a 5% service fee is added by default

Nice spot on the river bank but overated food. $18 for a grissy food court quality fried rice without prawns or chicken and only frozen peas and capsicum isn't really screaming quality.

Lovely casual ambiance and menu amongst a rather sterile, poncy glamour strip of restaurants. Best view point along the river and my new favourite place to sit and watch the world go by. Perfectly situated near the Riverside ferry stop. Could do with a more extensive range of local, popular beers but had Great Northern on tap. Fish and chips was/were awesome!!! Great choice of seating options too with outdoor heaters. Also, the cutest Irish barman.

Amazing cafe location right on the river with great city views. Perfect spot for breakfast or for late afternoon! Food was pretty good and reasonable price! Definitely worth a visit for breakfast if youre staying in Brisbane.
