Riversdale Hotel

Had a beer here while waiting for friends to arrive for dinner next door. The pub/TAB was a little rub down, but the service was good. A lot of pokies machine in-house and might not be kids friendly.

The parma here was probably the most average thing I have ever eaten, starting with the parma its self it was very bland with no seasoning & a very clearly out of the bottle sauce. The cheese & ham was good tho. The parma was also cooked in old oli as you could taste it with the lack of seasoning. The salad was good with a semi coleslaw with nice dressing. The chips where below average with very little salt/seasoning and being slightly over cooked. Over all of the meal was only 16$ but I would it at a 4.5/10

Did not go to the hotel as such. Went to the pop up restaurant Mahob by Amok. Been here several times and the food always delivers. Only giving four stars because I find the restaurant a bit loud. Food is beautiful

I saw some bad reviews for this pub including some for bad parmas- brought the kids for a pub meal. The Parma was excellent! Big serves, delicious chips. And they gave free drinks for the kids. 5/5 will come again soon!

Had a Chicken Parma tonight and it was one of the best I have had in a long time. Great thick and tasty chicken breast with a good crumb and nice topping on top. The chips where good as was the salad

I have been to every pub in Melbourne some I qualified to say that this one is the WORST. There are some real average joints in Melbourne but the Riversdale takes the cake. If you’re lucky enough to survive the salmonella poisoning your likely to get from the worst parmigiana in the world, tell your friends and family to AVOID this place. Staff are rude, food is horrible and all around an absolute fail.

I booked the function room for my 50th birthday recently. I can’t speak highly enough about the service we received from Kim the events manager, who was incredibly helpful. The room was perfect for a small gathering, and it was so great to be able to bring our own grazing table snacks, and DJ equipment. Really reduced the costs. I would certainly book again for future events.

Food back on Wednesday to Sunday dinner come down great food great staff great people best beer tab and pokies

but myself and boyfriend called in on Monday 11th Jan 21 to watch cricket girl behind bar was fantastic she was only staff member on as i could see doing gaming Tab bar she was polite friendly helpful with tab.maybe had clean out of staff will be back live local.

It's a great pub to go to, if you want to have a quiet drink.a lazy poke, or even just chill out and watch the big screen tv! I do warn though.on special event days and "O" say CUP DAY! Lols.
It will get a fair bit busy.and it's great! If thats your scene.all in all; great staff, great coffee, and they even got a smoking area you can go and just chill out in!
Thanks people!

Old time pub with the usual pokies, TAB etc
But for a young crowd - not the place to be. More for the mature group.

Really great seniors meals. Always enjoy the dessert. Best sticky date pudding. Main and dessert All for $15

Wouldn't try the steaks. Definitely overpriced for the quality of meat. Chips were good though.

Great local hotel, good food and friendly staff. Only been here once, but chicken parma and veges were excellent.

17 of us enjoyed a lovely meal and catchup at the Riversdale last evening
especially as it was a 90th birthday celebration. The staff were wonderful with helping cut the cake and serving up etc at no cost. Can only highly recommend for a group gathering. A big thankyou to the dedicated staff on the night. Yvonne Dite

Renovations awful. Can't see and order at kitchen.
No hot rolls any more! Food just acceptable.

They need to spend some money on the place the dunnies stink to high heaven. The bistro is never open.

Not sure if the ownership has changed hands, we have had grand final dinner here for many, many years. It is not the same any longer, wouldnt choose to go back again. It is probably ok for anyone who is only looking for basic type meals, though their prices were expensive for what you get

The Bistro was very quiet when we arrived about 6.30 Friday night so we had our pick of tables. Service was pleasant and fast and our Chicken Parmas were as good as we've had in Melbourne. Nice ambience, good food and some friendly poker machines after dinner. We'll be back.
