About Crawdads on the River

Crawdads on the River is a popular restaurant that offers a variety of menu items and a picturesque river view. The menu features dishes like the cod sandwich with fries, jambalaya, burgers, seafood simmer, surf and turf skewers, fish and chips, and chicken and fries, all of which have received positive reviews from customers. The fries and crab cakes, however, were noted to be a bit too salty.

The restaurant's location on the docks provides a pleasant atmosphere, with some customers enjoying the lively ambiance of the big parties and loud environment. The outdoor seating is perfect for families, especially kids who love watching the water and wildlife. The food is praised, particularly the surf and turf skewers and fish and chips, though some find it pricey. The beet salad and nachos plate received mixed reviews.

Service has improved, with some reviewers highlighting excellent and polite staff, like Gabriel, who made their experience memorable. While drinks are pricey, the river view and people-watching are unbeatable in summer. Despite minor issues, the overall experience at Crawdads on the River remains positive, with many customers eager to return, especially those with out-of-town guests or young children.

If you’re looking for a scenic river view while enjoying delicious food, then look no further because Crawdads on The River offers all that and more! If you’re in the mood for something light, try their Ahi Nachos because they’re the best in town! Should you be looking for something unique, I recommend the chowder fries! Maybe you’re in the mood for a more traditional meal — try the cheeseburger!

Sandwiches are served with house made chips, but for a dollar extra,...read full review

I am a huge fan of all these restaurants along the Sacramento River that are floating bars and restaurants and crawdads has such an awesome atmosphere a great staff and the kid who served us was on it, he earned his tip and we did tip him well. A great place if you live locally or if you’re visiting, definitely come here and I recommend the calamari.

We had an awesome time.. excellent service.. great staff ✨✨✨✨✨
