Been coming here for many years and every time was worth it.
The best fish in town. Fresh and very tasteful.
Thanks for the great service and the friendly staff.
Will recommend!
The wood fire pizza was absolutely delicious. Great place, awesome vibe & friendly staff. Had the family over from KwaDukuza & they were really impressed. They will definitely revisit when they are down again.
For 6 years we have been coming to fish on the river, the food and service is amazing and their new pizzas are very good! Awesome place �
I love your new pizza section.
Delicious pizzas and good service from the two ladies working there.
Definitely the place to be if you want to relax, enjoy a pizza and have a beautiful view.
We will be visiting again soon.
Absolutely lovely food amazing atmosphere would recommend to all traveling though umzimkulu to stop off and enjoy
Ons sal elke jaar terug kom vir meer!!! 'n Wonderlike ervaring om elke jaar my verjaarsdag hier te vier - langs die rivier met vars vis op die tafel!!
Best calamari and battered snoek. Awesome place. Thanks for great service.
Casual, lovely meal, beautiful setting.
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Fish on the river
Our favourite place to go. For the lady in the kitchen that came and took our order when the electricity went off thank you for the lovely onion rings, and also the guy with the blonde hair, service was immaculate.
Any line fish fresher must still be swimming
Excellent! Brilliant food, Brilliant Service. Awesome Fathers Day.
This was an awesome find in Port Shepstone. Quiet and tranquil, with excellent service. Ordered the catch of the day for two. Grilled yellowtail was succulent, perfectly cooked, and delicious. Perhaps the sauce on the side the next time. The choice of sides was flexible. Calamari was lightly battered and soft- delicious. Portions are large and well priced. Certainly a place to visit again for the food and beautiful views.
We love going to Fish on the River. The setting is super with expansive views of the river. Patrons choose to sit either outside or inside. The system is different and makes for efficiency: you are welcomed by wait staff who provide menus. Then you go to the counter to order your food in the restaurant and your drinks from the area adjacent. While you enjoy your drinks, you wait a short time for your food to be served to you at your table. The staff are also highly emotionally intelligent, friendly and a pleasure to have assist you. The food is well presented and really delicious. The portions are generous, satisfying the hungriest appetite. The lighting is natural which provides a vibe of openness, freedom and comfort. Music is from LM Radio which adds to the relaxed and happy atmosphere. I can't wait to visit this South Coast spot again!
Great food. We were running late and phoned them en route, the kitchen was about to close so we whatsapped our order through. It was a really great experience. Definitely going back.

I had an amazing experience at Fish on the River, a restaurant situated on the banks of the river near Port Shepstone. The atmosphere was great - the restaurant was clean and organised, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The prices were also very reasonable, which is always a plus.
Although on this occasion we only stopped in for some drinks, I have visited the restaurant before and had the best fish I have ever tasted! It was cooked to perfection and had just the right seasoning. I would definitely recommend the seafood dishes, as they are simply amazing.
What's more, there is plenty to do at Fish on the River! Whether you want to take a walk along the river banks, try your hand at fishing, or simply sit back and relax in the beautiful surroundings, this place has it all. There is something for everyone, making it the perfect spot for a family outing or a romantic evening out.
Overall, I would highly recommend Fish on the River to anyone looking for an enjoyable and affordable dining experience. Definitely worth a visit to discover more of what this hidden gem has to offer!
Always love coming here. Such a pity the centre isn't well supported by locals, shops seem to come and go. Yet Fish on the River always remains! My food was fantastic and the service was friendly and fast.
Absolute must visit for the best seafood on the Southcoast. Great atmosphere, great service. Shout out to Errol.
No waiters to take your order, you have to place your order at the bar, which is weird since there are plenty waiters available to bring your food. Payment is upfront. The cashier still asks you to tip and there is a tip jar on the table which I think is cheeky. Food is good and quickly served. Deck overlooks a car park and then the river which is not obvious from the photos. Still, a decent spot.
This is such a lovely place. So relaxing and good food. The catch of the day is just normally out of this world.
Amazing staff, fantastic setting, incredible menu options - so much to love about this place!! An absolute gem!
I'm not sure if ownership has changed, but from our last trip about a year ago, it's become quite simply amazing and a HAVE to visit. Their way of placing orders and getting drinks is so vastly different to anywhere else, and it absolutely works!!!! What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon with the most amazing view of the great Port Sheptone River, chilling, snacking, or eating delicious food and having a couple of ice-cold beers and wine. We will be back regularly.
Well done!!!
