Cabana On the River 7445 Forbes Road, Cincinnati, OH 45233

"Drove out for dinner on a Saturday. A lot was going on downtown which probably made our wait time short (~15 min). The river side patio is as advertised, picture perfect. Burger and fish and chips were reasonably priced, good portions and tasty. Craft beers were reasonably priced as well. Key West(side) vibes in the best way."

"We ended up waiting more than an hour for a table. At the hour mark, I went up again just to check in (people that arrived after us were getting seated) and she informed me that we had been removed from the list claiming that we had been notified that our table was ready but forfeited the spot due to not responding. Our party never received a text despite verifying that the phone number was entered correctly. We were standing next to the hostess stand the entire time so I'm not sure why they didn't just approach us. But regardless we were waiting for quite a while and when we had showed that we did not receive any notification or any text, they still would not seat us. Ultimately, after an additional wait we ended up getting seated outside in between the rain. The food took a while and was mediocre. Beware, if you get fries with your meal it will cost extra (Despite fries being offered as part of the meal). The food is very slow. I would not recommend this place."

"Service was stellar. Food was delicious! I had the blackened Mahi Mahi fish tacos. So delicious! Even when a quick passing storm moved through, staff was so nice with closing the patio and helping folks find tables out of the rain. If you're looking for an indoor seat, this isn't the place. They have a covered patio and then they have tables with umbrellas on the deck. Since it's right on the river it's the perfect place on a summer day or evening!"

"My boyfriend and I recently rode our Harley to The Cabana on the River, a restaurant highly recommended by a friend, and boy, we weren’t disappointed. As we arrived, we were greeted by a jovial crowd enjoying a game of volleyball with the beautiful Ohio River as their backdrop. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for our evening. The restaurant offers outdoor seating right by the water, allowing us to soak in the stunning river views as we dined. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. For our meal, we chose the fish and chips, which were absolutely delicious. The fish was crispy and flavorful, and the chips were perfectly seasoned. We’re already excited to try even more of the menu next time we come! The journey to The Cabana was just as memorable as the destination. The scenic bypass we took was breathtakingly beautiful, with lush landscapes and serene vistas at every turn. Riding our Harley through such picturesque surroundings was a truly exhilarating experience. We ended our visit perfectly by riding off into the sunset, the open road stretching ahead of us."
