Drifters Riverfront Bar & Grill

I was very upset about our visit today. I’ve always had good food, and good service before. I recommend to go there to eat. Was so disappointed and wished I had taken them somewhere else. They ordered Grouper baskets with tea. What they brought them was not grouper it was flounder. The service was very bad. The ice tea was hot tea, the grouper was not grouper. The waitress only came to the table when we were leaving. When she was told about the order being wrong, and hot tea. She shrugged her shoulders and walked off. I’ve been to restaurant before it was good. This time the worst. I won’t recommend anyone come here again. My family came a long way to be disappointed.

Worst service I have seen in a long time. We Ordered grouper which wasn’t grouper .What ever it was had a very fishy taste. Our drinks were hot tea not cold we had seven in our group which traveled a long way to enjoy your food. I have ate at your establishment before, and was very pleased, but was very disappointed. When we told the waitress that it was not grouper and the fish did not taste good, the waitress didn’t seem to care. I hope you take note, and correct the problem soon.

Our food was very disappointing
We ordered Grouper. It was not Grouper. Taste like Flounder. I called the restaurant to tell them,they were not concerned, that we were not happy with our food. 3 of us ordered the grouper and we all 3 said the same thing.
This is not Grouper. It was Party of 5.we came quite a ways to eat here. We will not be back.

I heard of this place on YouTube with show of Jeep trails in Ocala. Decided to try it. Food was great. Price is good. Servers are very nice and attentive. I will go again.

Had such a great time with the family!! Its been a year, since my last visit.... I really dont know what happened other than my husband came to eat at 4pm maybe the night time chef wasnt on duty but my food tasted PLAIN! The Mac n cheese was watery, I added salt but it didn't help, I asked for extra sauce and they wanted to upcharge me, I didnt tell her I needed it to make my chicken taste better. The rice and black bean weren't any better but they had a tiny bit of flavor. I dont normally complain too much but if u know the customer isn't happy, please ask how you can fix it... especially if you can see your customer is upset. I wasnt trying to get something for nothing. I won't be back again. Never seen soupy Mac n cheese .

What a terrible experience,,had the absolute worst Cuban sandwich I have had in 60 years, and I have had plenty living in south florida. After taking one bit and complaining to the waitress, she wouldn’t replace it with something satisfactory or adjust it on the bill. I paid my bill but will never go back, never had that experience where they couldn’t care less if the customer was happy with their food. Do yourself a favor and go down the road to Casaways and enjoy the food…

Draft Sam Adam’s was over $7 for a standard pour. Peel and eat was “market price” and I’m used to paying a standard price between $18 and $22 a pound, but didn’t ask and it came out on the bill as $30 a pound. I should’ve asked. The food was good and the service was good but the prices were higher than I’ve paid anywhere else and it was nothing fancy. It was not worth the price we paid and we’ll be looking for a different place next time we decide to stop in the area.

The Cuban sandwich really hit the spot! We ate at the outside bar overlooking the river. Service and atmosphere were great. Ask for Jen!

No longer dog friendly even though it is stated that they are. Signs inside and the outside gate for the patio. Can’t even have them outside with you.

We had a wonderful lunch today with a wonderful server, bartender cashier. Her name is Jill and she does it all and she’s fabulous at what she does!!!
