Always love pulling up to the dock with my dad, for a great meal, a beautiful view and excellent service.

The food was very good and the service was outstanding and we had a gorgeous view. We are from out of town and this is one restaurant I will definitely take the drive to eat at again.

Nice waterfront restaurant floating on the river, with beautiful views and great service. I just ate the best lobster sandwich ever. I lived in New England area and have had lobster sandwiches there and in other parts of California, so I have had experience. Cole slaw was also delicious! I definitely recommend! I am coming back the next time I fly into SMF!

I can't believe that we just discovered this place! We went there expecting to sit outside because of our dog with us. They graciously allowed us to sit inside which we really appreciated as it was cold and a little drizzly. We picked a window seat with a nice view of the river. There was also live music which was very nice. The food was great too, I especially liked the hot apple cider cocktail and appreciated that I had the choice to have my catfish sandwich grilled instead of fried. They also gave us a biscuit for our pup. Very friendly service and great food. We look forward to coming when the weather is nicer and sitting outside. If you're looking for a great restaurant by the water, this is it!

First-time experience. The restaurant was right on the river. It there was sitting inside and outside. The restaurant was clean and very nice. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. They had gluten-free options, and they were delicious. The drinks were delicious. I like how where you sat in the restaurant you had a great view of the river. Definitely recommend the restaurant.

This place was a fun dining experience, with it being situated on a floating dock. The meals were plentiful and well prepared. Their "basic" hamburger was huge and delicious and came with a mountain of fantastic fries.. The dinner salad wasn't fancy, but it was fresh, well topped, and delicious. I enjoyed the Clam Chowder, but probably wouldn't order it again. My husband ordered the Philly Steak Sandwich (or something like that) and he said it was amazing. Their Shrimp and Grits were some of the best that I've ever had. The best Shrimp and Grits that I have had, are served at the Biltmore in North Carolina - which is a long way to go to beat this Shrimp & Grits. The service was very friendly and welcoming.

Kind of a whim stop after doing the rail bikes across the river, but it was a good choice! Opted for the (famous) shrimp tacos with their homemade chips and salsa. Their shrimp are big and they don't skimp, so much appreciated! I'm not into chunky salsa and was pleasantly surprised by the consistency of theirs and the taste too! Hush puppies had lots of flavor, especially with the dipping sauce. The real shiner for me was the jumbo chicken wings, with leg and thigh attached (personal favorite and not very common) and the sauce - Nashville honey - was chefs kiss. I could've licked the plate if I wasn't in public. Service started off solid and then he kind've disappeared once we got our food, but no worries, still a yummy place to eat. Very relaxed, casual ambiance.

From Vegas visiting family, they are here once before and had a great experience so we decided to try again. Staff was wonderful and quality pretty good. I had the pasta (yum), daughter had muscles, wife loved the shrimp tacos, catfish and lime salad. All winners!!! Thank you for a fun place to return to.

I always enjoy this place. Right on the river they have a smaller inside area to sit as well. Last time we went they had live music. Good vibes great people and good food. A nice gem.

Food is nothing special. Lots of fried stuff that was okay but a little bland and greasy. Prices are reasonable, I guess, for the atmosphere. We go to pass the time sitting on the dock watching boats come and go. That part is very peaceful and relaxing, especially when the weather is mild. I love that they have plenty of shade for hot days and the servers have always been friendly and welcoming. Wish the food was a little better, is all.
