River's Bend Grill

"First time visiting and immediately was grossed out by the sign on the door: 15% gratuity added to all carry out orders. Why?! A tip is for great customer service when a server waits on you. I was immediately worried that my bill would have forced tipping on it. The staff was friendly, the food was decent but it took almost an hour to get our food and the restaurant wasn't busy! Thankfully, they don't force you to tip when you eat it. Probably not going back here."

"First time here. Viewed the menu before I arrived. Everything looked great! I had a hard time choosing! I chose the "build your own" seafood platter. Fried piece of flounder. Blackened grilled shrimp, coleslaw. House salad, comes with two hush puppies. .50 for any extra sauces, butter, etc 45 min to get a drink. Didn't bring the salad. Wasn't Around to tell her before my platter came out. About 15 people came in and say beside me. Coleslaw yuck. Like nothing I've ever eaten before. Shrimp, yuck. Absolutely NO seasoning. The waitress came to my table two times. That's it. Total of an hour and a half spent here. Fried flounder was good Hush puppies were good. My bill, the Manager took off $1.00 for the missing salad. Lol. Nope. This is definitely a hard no."

"Let me start off by stating this is my first time here and reviewing as im eating.. Ordered the crab cakes with bacon cheddar fries(they forgot the chives) and broccoli with a "tree smacker" the drink had lots of flavor is is enjoyable. The food...crab cakes are a huge disappointment. Taste like old frozen fish amd have a terrible after taste....the fries and broccoli are great though! Servers are very friendly and polite! First impression on food is so so. Main dish is trash..middle school cafeteria fish sticks would of tasted better!!! BUT the sides are the redeeming feature. Had to drown the sides in salt and pepper as they had zero seasoning to begin with. Service is slightly hit and miss. When first seated servers are all over you. Once you order they are extremely scarce. I would return and give them a second chance to do better but at this point a 3 star feels like being generous at the moment."

"The wife and I honestly did not enjoy our time at River’s Bend Grill. While the staff was very social and friendly, there were a few things that I noted while being here. As soon as you walk to the door, there’s a sign that says 15% gratuity is added to carry out orders. The food was honestly not that great. The first thing that the wife and I tried were the crab cake minis and the entire breading of this appetizer tasted burnt and was probably fried in really old oil. Next we had a Cesar salad that I forgot to take a picture of. The Cesar salad was good but the croutons were made from scratch and tasted horrible. They also tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the crab cake minis. The rivers bend punch and the shrimp&scallop alfredo were both kind of bland. The Alfredo was highly recommended but tasted like there was no seasoning on anything, just cheese, noodles, and shellfish. Another thing to note is that the menu had “market price” for not just the seafood dishes but also for some of the chicken dishes as well. This means there’s not that much consistency to pricing. The price can fluctuate everyday depending on the market. Safe to say, we will not be coming back to this establishment."
