The food was fantastic both nights and our server Patrick was the best! Great experience - I definitely recommend.“

“We came from out of town and this is seriously the best food we’ve ever had. We’re from Houston, TX- so basically every type of food you can imagine- and this was the best we’ve had. Sweet potato fries, crab cakes, DELICIOUS! It was so good we had to humiliate the chef for a group photo! The service was excellent too!“

“the absolute 2 best pasta dishes my wife and I have ever had were devoured last evening. After a long day we didn't feel like going out and decided to pick up and take home. Everything bite was perfect. I can not recommend this place enough. The highest rating is well deserved.“

“I had 20 Pieces of shrimp for &12.00. It was some of the best trip I’ve ever eaten. It was lightly breaded and the french fries were great. The restaurant was very clean and the person waiting on us was great.“

“You can't go wrong with the hidden crowd. All of the plates I saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious. The plate that came to my table was 30 shrimp for around $17. That's a lot of shrimp for a real bargain. You get two sides also. These people know how to cook and they have hired people who know how to take care of their customers. It is a wonderful place. Best fried shrimp on the planet!

Parking: Caution! The potholes in the parking lot are larger than some of the cars I see you driving. Be careful!“

“The server we had was amazing! I wish I got her name. We loved everything we ordered. Though Saturday is all you can eat snow crab, we went for the low country boil for four. We had so much food to even have some to take home (and my family can get down with some crab). Live piano and good vibes. We WILL for sure be going back.“

“great outdoor spot downtown w excellent music people couldn’t be nicer“

“Local vibes! You can tell right away this is a local's spot. There's plenty of parking. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty empty, so we were seated right away. There's a bar, dining tables and some half booths. The ambience is very fish-house style. The food was really good and the service was standard.

Our server was personable and attentive during our stay. I ordered the pick 2 combo, as did my mom and sister. I went with the fried shrimp, blackened fish, and a side of pilaf rice and fries. I drank a Pepsi, as they have Pepsi products.

The fried shrimp was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed it the most. The fish portion seemed a bit small, compared to other seafood restaurants, but it was fresh and tasty. The fries were yummy with their ranch dip, and the rice pilaf was a bit dry in my opinion. The combo also came with complimentary hushpuppies, which were good as well. The given tarter and cocktail sauces were delicious and a great dip for the food. The food came out pretty quickly, and my mom and sister seemed to enjoy their scallop and oyster dishes as well.

I would recommend this seafood restaurant if you're looking for a local's seafood spot in St. Mary's.“

“Great service, delicious food“

“Love all the seafood entrees and the large selection of sides (one of the few restaurants in the area where you can get a baked potato). If you like clam chowder, you won’t find any better than here!“

“Always great food and service.“

“If you know the history of Amelia Island, then you need to stop by Down Under Restaurant to experience their shrimp dishes. The atmosphere and the service was great!“

“Jason G was my bartender and was the ultimate man. His service was excellent and is the main reason I will 1. Be coming back and 2. Be referring friends, family, and others to go to the surf restaurant. Food was great, and Jason elevated the experience even more! Thanks a lot surf team and Jason!“

“A thoroughly charming and popular spot. Great menu and excellent attention by staff. The food is ordinarily great. On this evening, the main courses (fish, chicken) were excellent, but the sides (carbs, veggies) were barely warm. Management was very considerate when billing. Definitely going back whenever we're in the area.“

“I can't believe it's taken me this long to leave a review for Riverside Cafe. Absolutely top notch food in downtown st marys. If you're trying to pick a place in St marys (or anywhere in camden county) this is one of the best choices you will make. You will be so pleased with your choice to eat here you'll want to tell everyone you know.“

“Absolutely amazing!! We had an amazing waitress and overall was super good.“

“We really loved the restaurant that used to occupy this charming location so we weren’t expecting anything, and we were woefully underinformed and so delighted with Indigo. The server was knowledgeable and friendly but not hovering… but the food…Everyhing was a slam dunk. Duck, salmon, escargot, bacon, butter cake-all truly incredible. We will enthusiastically be back again and again!“

“Lauren the waitress was super fast and efficient and excellent work ethic. She was so respectful with an amazing attitude. She made my experience truly amazing. Go see her and tip her well!

George the manager also is an outstanding guy with a great level or respect and care for customer satisfaction. This is truly a place ran by great people who aim to make the customers experience truly amazing! I am so thankful! 👍 👍“

“Awesome food and service!!!“

“Love it! Manager is sooooo nice! Server was great too! Lots of food!“

“Best food great service ! Great atmosphere“

“We ordered from here frequently when at the pool daily and the wait staff was kind and the food wasn't bad, one waitress even brought us a complimentary guacamole since the seagulls literally ripped our whole basket of chips and guac apart when we stepped away for about 2 seconds to grab my other child to sit and eat the food we ordered. We appreciated that very much. However, on our last night we dined here and my children were served raw chicken tenders with the batter oozing out and when cut open just complete raw chicken beneath the fried part. THANK GOD I didn't just give my kids the tenders to eat and cut them open for them in attempts to have them cool off quicker because they were so hungry. The waitress comped their meal (even though their meals were half off during the promotion), but we appreciated the gesture at making raw chicken being served an okay thing. Other than that the food was alright, the calamari was fishy tasting and my mahi mahi was rubbery. It was convenient to have by the poolside to order from the menu offerings were nice but don't think I'd actually dine here for dinner but would order poolside again forsure.“
