The River Deck Cafe

Saturday brunch saw me here with my missus and teenage son, we did not make a table booking, it was walk in, but the team were very understanding and helpful in finding us a table even though they were extremely busy. They were almost about to change over from their breakfast menu to their lunch menu, so our waitress said we could order from either one which was very handy. I ordered the zucchini and pesto fritters with a side or mushrooms and Smoked Kransky, bloody sensational! The missus ordered the scrambled eggs on toast with a side of bacon and hash brown, very good also. Service was fast and friendly, very professional. Food arrived quickly and we were all very happy customers.

Breakfast was so very lovely here, we had the banana bread waffle, which I recommend 👌. The staff were lovely, efficient & professional. The big winners which topped off a fabulous dining experience were clean rest rooms and the magnificent Murray River flowing by, with a gorgeous walk amongst the majestic trees. A fabulous overall experience made exceptional by the staff & food.

We had a most delicious lunch here. Ended up ordering a bunch of entrees to share including the prawn toast, squid, potato cakes, rainbow salad and pavlova for dessert. Squid was melt in the mouth with a lovely light crispy batter and the prawn toast was juicy and bursting with flavour. Great location, great service and fantastic food. Will be back for more!

Seriously just go here for the chips, they are proper good crispy, well seasoned and awesome. Oh and the scallops, who new so far inland you can get good sea food. The kids fish and chips uses the same barramundi as the main meal just smaller, it's perfectly battered, come here with two or more kids and get a bunch of fish and chips and save money on the adult main meal. - actually seriously though the chips are good. We had prawn and truffle pasta, the baked cheese, all the food was amazing, there's a playground and a nice deck to sit on, however the deck is west facing so on clear days bring the sunscreen or a hat if you're a bit white like me.

What an absolute gem of a restaurant! Perfectly located next to a huge park with a fantastic playground, it’s the ideal spot for a family outing or a relaxed catch-up with friends. There’s plenty of parking available, and after a hearty meal, you can take a stroll along the scenic walking track to walk it all off—such a great bonus! We visited in the morning and, while there was a queue to get in, the line moved quickly and efficiently, showing just how well-managed the place is. We ordered their signature big brekkie—my son couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was! I had the zucchini avocado fritter and it was absolutely next-level—fresh, flavourful, and perfect for those looking for a healthier option without compromising on taste. My daughter had the scrambled eggs with bacon, plus a babycino, and she was all smiles. We also tried their detox juice, which was refreshing and clearly made with quality ingredients. On top of the fantastic food and setting, the customer service truly stood out. Our waitress was incredibly warm, friendly, and super informative—she made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down. Highly recommend this place—great food, wonderful service, and a location that makes the whole experience even better!

The River Deck Cafe is a great place to have lunch, especially if you have a dog, as the deck is pet-friendly. The deck has a peaceful view of the park, and the food is outstanding. I tried the Earl Grey pork belly and the banana bread waffle, both of which were amazing. The iced coffee was excellent as well.

We returned for Breakfast. This time with our quartet of poodles. My breakfast Zucchini Balls was amazing and looked beautiful. Glad to return. Beautiful location on the river. Dog friendly a number of vegan options. The river is fun, lots of swimmers and kayaks floating down the river.

It is nice picnic spot. This cafe offers take away menu as well as dine in. It's always crowded. Great pit stop for people travelling from Melbourne to Canberra/Sydney.

Pricey, small portions, think they're trying to be something they're not. This isn't Sydney. Would need some convincing to return. Plenty of better value restaurants in Albury to choose from.

First visit? Food was excellent. However, second visit? Sous Vide meat was cut lengthways, consequently stringy and too tough to eat. After complaining about the meal, they asked if we wanted dessert! Also outdoor dining with wasps a problem and table service was slow. Won't be returning to this venue.
