Reviews

We have been coming here for years. It's a great stop by boat for drinks and food. We usually stay in lansing as well so easy to walk to as well. There's a great outdoor seating area/ bar downstairs that is a great area to watch river life. Great place to stop.

Service was fantastic. Food was alright, priced fairly. Drinks were poured heavy so I have no complaints there! Fantastic views of the Mississippi River. Great little restaurant for a quick bite to eat and a quick drink.

This is a perfect place to stop for lunch or dinner. The service was great, and the food was amazing. I ordered the special cod, and it was made perfect. It came with a baked potato and cottage cheese. My kids ordered the chicken strips and the chicken sandwich it was all tasty. Thank you so much for having fast/friendly service and delicious food!

Great little hole in the wall with super friendly service. Cold beer and great food! Highly recommend the fried cod and French dip. The fries are delicious.

I have been coming to Shep’s for many years and have never been left with anything but great service and food. I do not live super close by, but I absolutely go out of my way to head to this establishment when I can. I have gotten the chance to get to know many of the individuals at this place, and I appreciate all of the service and memories from here. The owner is a great individual who is awesome to talk to and fun to be around. Also, I love Dawn’s cooking and the awesome service she brings each time I’m here. If you are looking for a wonderful day, please take the time to check this establishment out. Upstairs is always a great time and the patio is so fun during the summer. Thank you to Shep’s Riverside for the great hospitality, great food, and great memories that I continue to have with each and every visit.

Wonderful little place right on the Mississippi in Lansing, Iowa with a great view of the old bridge. Decor was as you would expect for a restaurant on the river. Staff were friendly, nice selection on the menu and the food was amazing. If you go, try the tater tot nachos! Unbeatable.

Debra Thompson

Island Burger is excellent! Wash it down with a Grain Belt while looking out over the river and you’ll be in a pretty good place.
