Ye Olde Centerton Inn Menu

The River Waterfront Steak & Grill at 50 Riverbank Rd, Batesville, offers classic American steakhouse dining with scenic White River views. The menu combines grilled steaks, fresh seafood, burgers, pasta, salads, sandwiches, Southern-inspired sides, and shareable appetizers. A full bar adds cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks. Popular choices include Ribeye Steak, Fried Catfish, Coconut Shrimp, BBQ Chicken Nachos, and grilled chicken, while crab cakes and seasonal steak-and-seafood combinations make excellent house-style recommendations.

Most guests can expect to spend around $10-$30 per person depending on the entrée and drinks, with steak and seafood selections reaching higher price points. Generous portions help support the value, while well-marbled beef, seafood, crisp vegetables, grilled proteins, and flavourful sauces create a satisfying balance of smoky, savoury, creamy, fresh, and lightly sweet flavours.

Vegetarian diners can choose salads, grilled vegetables, stuffed portobello-style dishes, and selected sides. A dedicated gluten-free menu is not clearly published, so dietary requirements should be confirmed with staff. Grilled fish, chicken, salads, and vegetables provide lighter options. Burgers, chicken dishes, and a kids’ menu make the restaurant family-friendly. The River is best suited to lunch, dinner, dates, celebrations, waterfront meals, and larger group gatherings rather than breakfast.

Menu Highlights

Ribeye Steak
A well-marbled ribeye is grilled to develop a savoury crust while keeping the centre juicy and tender. Its rich beef flavour makes it one of the restaurant’s most natural signature choices.

Fried Catfish
Catfish is fried until the coating turns crisp and golden while the fish remains moist and flaky. It is one of the dishes most consistently highlighted by diners.

Coconut Shrimp
Juicy shrimp are coated in a crisp coconut crust, creating a mix of seafood sweetness and crunchy texture. The light sweetness makes them especially popular as an appetizer or seafood entrée.

BBQ Chicken Nachos
Crisp tortilla chips are loaded with seasoned chicken, barbecue flavour, cheese, and complementary toppings. The mix of smoky, creamy, crunchy, and savoury notes makes this a strong sharing favourite.

Grilled Salmon
Salmon is grilled until lightly caramelised outside and tender within. Its clean flavour and satisfying richness make it one of the lighter steakhouse alternatives.

Crab Cakes
Seasoned crab is formed into tender cakes and cooked for a lightly crisp exterior. Sweet seafood flavour and delicate texture make them an appealing starter for seafood lovers.

Waterfront Burger
A grilled beef patty is layered with cheese and fresh toppings on a toasted bun. Juicy beef, melted cheese, and crisp vegetables make it a dependable casual choice for lunch or dinner.
