Very nice view of the river. The food is decent. Sometimes, I miss Country Kitchen and I want something reminiscent of it. Their food isn’t on par with Countey Kitchen, but it does the trick. The cole slaw is great. I like the tartar sauce. I’m not a fan of the hush puppies or the fries. The fish is okay. The cashier was not the friendliest on our last visit. We had a take out order. The lady that brought the order to the front was friendly. It’s worth the try at least once.

Really enjoyed the food. Southern fried and lots of it. A jug of tea on every table. Like eating at grandmas house. Get there early to beat the rush. It’s very popular with the locals. Plus that view from the porch!

When we visit Thomaston we always make a point of eating at Riverbend Restaurant.
I have never had a better ribeye anywhere than the ones I get at Riverbend. It is always tender and juicy. The service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is what you would expect in a family-owned restaurant.

Been eating here since I was a little girl!! Me and my husband also love it. I always go when I just need those good memories. I always get catfish fillets and it’s so good everytime. I love how it’s just a simple place… Great food and service!

Unique place. It is a breath of fresh air to go there. It is in a rural part of Upson County. You go down 1/4 mile road to get to it. It is on the Flint River.The food is good. The sides they provide are huge and good. Catfish is their speciality. I thought the whole catfish was good, but I have had better. My fish was small and I didn’t get the most meat off of them. The side salad was very good. Onion rings were excellent. Sweet tea was addicting.

Beautiful outside, but it’s also amazing inside feels like somewhere straight out the 70s.

WE LOVED RIVERBEND .
Steaks and fish are super good !! The service is so friendly. And what an pretty outdoor setting get there an hour and a half before sunset and then watch the sunset as you’re finishing dinner !! Worth a drive !!
Hey Owners : Would you consider serving REAL butter ?
✓Butter is healthier and not dangerous like margarine .
Order my favorite the fish or the steak and you will not be disappointed— this is a super place to eat with super friendly service, probably the best restaurant in a 15 or 20 mi radius or more! 5 Stars .

The food was good, even though my cod was a little overcooked and a bit too hard.
The owner was phenomenal, though, and talked to us quite a bit, which was great! Super kind and friendly people!! Our waitress seemed like she had a lot on her hands and forgot our rolls and who order what. But that was ok, and I would still say it’s a great place to eat! The river views were absolutely stunning!
Will definitely come back when in Georgia again!

The food was terrible . My feelings were so hurt because I drug two members of my family there by bragging about how great the catfish was. My catfish were fingerlings that had been cooked so long they were burnt clear through . We have been going there for several years and someone told me they had declined but I wouldn’t… Couldn’t believe it. Well, now I believe it. My heart is broken but we will NEVER go back.

Love this old-fashioned friendly backwoods farm-raised catfish restaurant! Best catfish, coleslaw, hush puppies & fried green tomatoes! We prefer them whole wiith bone-in to enjoy the crispy fins!
