We have eaten at Joey Harrison’s a number of times and have had a pleasant experience every time. Their food is very good, I especially love their shrimp scampi flatbread, and we’ve always enjoyed our meals. The service has been good with great staff and of course, great views! Highly recommend it!

I always enjoy coming here for the absolutely incredible sushi and service. The venue is fantastic and has a beautiful view along the river. During the summer this is definitely the place to be! The manager Paige is one of the most delightful people I've ever spoken to and very professional. My experiences here are nothing short of five stars. If you're in the area definitely take the time to check this place out!

Went here for our anniversary dinner and were very pleased with all the selections. Inside dining was quiet while outside there was a band playing. Definitely going back.

Overpriced, over cooked, and awful service! We were visiting from out of state and were so disappointed in this restaurant. Fish over cooked, overpriced for below average food, and our waitress was basically non existent. Don’t waste your time or money!!!

First time here & the view is fantastic! Food & service was very good but a little expensive. I had a crab cake sandwich & my friend had buffalo fried shrimp. We sat inside because it was very humid but they had outside seating as well. I would go back.

Still a great location! But no owner knows what it takes to make it successful 😔 Sad when the staff is drinking more than the customers👎👎👎👎 Not sorry but You need Bar rescue!!!!!! From You’re local resident. And if you like losing money than ignore this post 🍻

Beware: the restaurant is closed for renovations till next year-2020 ‼️ Last night was our 18th Anniversary, I made a reservation online thru Open Table. We arrived on time only to find out it was closed to the public. We were disappointed due to the fact that we have eaten there many times in the past & were always pleased. Hopefully they will update the website so this does not continue to happen to others😡

I love to visit Joey Harrison’s all year round. The view is amazing, the food is great, and the service is always efficient. Jen the bartender is always there when you need her, we never wait long. Thanks a bunch for giving us a local place to enjoy in any season.

This is one of our favorite places around. We first found it about a year ago when we where looking for a place to have a lunch after we got married. Nicole who booked and ran our wedding made even our small privet wedding with our immediate family feel like we where just as important as if we had a guest list of 500 people. Her attention to detail is unmatched. We have gone back just to get a bite to eat at the bar/restaurant and the still they exceeded our expectations. Today we went for their Mother's day brunch and again the staff and food where outstanding. Great variety of food, carving and omelet stations fruit, and desserts. If you need a place for a bite to eat or for a special event this is the first place I would recommend to anyone.

The atmosphere is very nice, but our service was the worst. We were waiting too long for the server to take our order and then an hour to receive our food. If you are going to the bar for drinks only it’s probably ok, but I would not recommend table service. We weren’t the only ones waiting for a long time either. When the food did finally arrive is was just ok.

That’s my first time. I loved the food. Must try the blackened tuna bites. Love their margaritas. I loved mostly their live band music on a Sunday evening. They said they have a different band everyday. Today was beyond good! I will definitely try it another time. Was worth the 1hr drive from the beach we were at. The atmosphere is awesome. All three outdoors spaces were awesome. Didn’t go inside because the weather was just perfect.Real happy with my experience.

Went on a Saturday night with family (10+). Had to ask for the first glass of water 3 times before it came out. They forgot to put a strip steak, salad, and kids pasta order in. Ended up taking it to go as everyone was finished with their meal. Steak was not seasoned at all, though it was cooked as ordered when it actually came out. Shrimp and Scallop Lousia was tasteless. Waitress and management did nothing to correct the bad experience.

Saturday was my first time at the riverhouse. My wife and I had such a great time there, the food was excellent, the service was incredible. The staff was so friendly and nice. I had a great conversation with one of your security staff members named Charlie what a funny and friendly gentleman he was, he made us feel comfortable and made us laugh, I felt I was on Cheers 😀 I wish all the restaurant's/ bars had a Charlie there. I will be coming there often because you guys make us feel welcomed. Keep up the great work

I really enjoy boating to this fine location on the Forked River. It’s easy to access and you can feel the energy from the outdoor stage on the weekends. The real sand and beach bar atmosphere is a nice touch.

This place is incredible! I came for the first time not long ago for my girlfriend's birthday and we had a blast! The band that played was amazing and the drinks were terrific. There's a nice dining area up top and a beach with a stage at the bottom. There are also two bars right on the beach. I'm looking forward to my next visit down this way!

I had my wedding here last friday. The guests raved about the food! Jenn is absolutely amazing! Even though the weather didn't play out as expected and we had to move inside, it was still a great experience. They kept our band and the bridal party happy!
