Why Travelers Love Old River
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.7 / 5.0(364 reviews)
Old River is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was off the chain cozy, stylish, and full of character. It's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel welcome and relaxed. The food? Magnificent. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do. But what really made the experience unforgettable was our waitress. She was an exceptional server attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm. Her energy and professionalism added a whole extra layer of enjoyment to our night. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Old River for anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and truly outstanding service! Excellent flight choices! I would stick to the drinks, or order your food as you want it not all at once. Our appetizer was the last thing to the table. The second to last was the shots we ordered when we sat down. The food is very good. I think some management changes are in order. We hopped off a cruise without a single plan in Belize and happened here for lunch and drinks. Kenya, our server, was wonderful, attentive, and fast! I would definitely come back. We were seated comfortably outdoors but in the shade with fans. They were easily able to accommodate our group of 11

Stopped by for a drink and a quick bite after the water taxi. Server was super friendly and the view is relaxing. I just got chicken fingers and a couple of beers, but they were all very good and well presented.
