6 Best Seafood Restaurants near Riverside

“We called a few days ahead of time, as we were planning my mother's 98 birthday, on 7/06/24. We gave an estimate of the number of people in our group. Upon arriving, members of our group had to arrange tables, as this had not been done prior. Let me say this: I can't tell you how many times my family members and I have dined here over the last 50+ years, and the servers have always been on par and friendly. Not this time, as our server was barking orders for everyone to "sit down,"remained sullen and snarky." This made everyone in our group a bit confused about her behavior and uncomfortable. Let me state that there were only 1-2 tables occupied during our time there, and there were more servers available than ours. Everything seemed rushed, as it felt as if we left sooner rather than later, and our server would have been happy. I ordered the whole catfish and shrimp, w a baked potato (not available), so I ordered fries instead, and coleslaw. My food was really good, except the whole catfish was extremely small with little meat. Of course, I didn't get asked if everything was okay, not sure if anyone else was asked. When finished with our meal, we had brought a birthday cake (we asked if this would be a problem and we were told "Of course, you can") I got a piece and was attempting to eat, and talking to others that were leaving. A guy was quickly bussing our table, and took my plate after I told him that I was still eating. As a previous server, I don't go anywhere that I don't tip, and it's usually 20%+ for good service. Not this time, I tipped a flat 15% and didn't even want to give that much. I don't know what is happening at this restaurant, but this visit was unlike any other visit in the past. I know that The Ark can do a lot better.“

“Best wings around! Every thing we have had from here has been great!“

“We love the food and atmosphere! We try and get there at least 2-3 times a month! Love it! Everyone is great!“

“During their daily meat & 2/3 lunch special I always get their fried chicken (THE best light and crispy fried chicken ever), delicious greens with cornbread and awesome cole slaw. I'm always disappointed on days they don't have the fried chicken. ? I've heard their club sandwich and onion rings are also legendary.
Friendly staff, well attended to. "Cheers" type of atmosphere. (It IS an old establishment and could use some freshening up aesthetically.)“

“Captain D is a lot better than it used to be but I just received my meal. The bread was ruined because they placed it in the box where the juice from green beans soaked it. The corn was old. It was terrible. I ordered a $4.59 dessert and was charged but never received it. I tried calling them after I returned home but no answer. Hopefully they will fix it but I don't want to drive another 40 minutes to get it tonight. The service was good though. The lady was pleasant when she took my order. The fish was very good. The loaded potato was old, and the cheese was melted on the foil but not the potato. But I could tell the potato was old and not fresh. I paid $22.09 for one meal and only ate less than half.. please do better.“

“Always choose to go to Rick’s, every time my husband asks “where do you want to go eat”?😂“
