Be prepared to hang out.We were not prepared to hangout. We were pretty hungry after an active morning. The waitstaff are very friendly, and there is a notice that lets you know it could be 1 to 1.5 hours for your food. We didn't see this sign until we had ordered and been waiting a bit.This is a cool place, if you have a lot of time. My husband and I visited on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30. You seat yourself, and It takes a little bit for everything to come out. We did enjoy our sandwiches. I ordered a Club sandwich, my husband had the Black Angus Philly Cheesesteak.In fairness, we were looking for quick, and are not seafood lovers. I think this was just the wrong spot for what we were seeking that particular day.

My second visit and it was great. I had the fried shrimp basket with fries. The shrimp were good with a light tempura style batter. The fries were good. The onion rings my son in law got were even better. Even the mozzarella sticks were good. We will be back.

Waited 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge we were there, couldn’t even get menus. After 20 more minutes of waiting another server came with menus trying to take our order.after we had already ordered, after 45 minutes of no refills on drinks or any service saying it was going to take longer than expected. We were served cold and tasteless food. The server again did not check on us a single time but to bring the check. To our surprise she comped the 2 meals because we did not eat them. Hour and a half for cold nasty food. Won’t be back

Great local seafood spot, the food can take awhile to come out. It’s made fresh per order. It’s right on the water and can get a draft coming in.Parking: Free parking lot right across the street.

OMG, where to start?We had lunch today @ Riverside. I had 3 spicy corn grilled fish tacos and french fries. Lewis had the grouper basket with slaw, fries and hush puppies.The food was amazing, our waitressSierra was beyond outstanding and attentive!Riverside is pet friendly (deck or tiki). When Sierra brought our drinks, she brought a bowl of water for the pups!!We highly recommend Riverside and Sierra, a great combination.

Fun place, live music, nice southern riverside vibe. If you like fried seafood, onion rings and hushpuppies go there. The place is seat yourself inside and out so is very casual but the food still came quickly and the waitresses nice.

Great food and service. Recommend the chargrilled catfish and grilled shrimp skewers. Also tried the stone cold crab for appetizer. Our gracious waitress showed us how to open and eat, these were new to us and grandkids had a blast doing so.

Great place to go and a cool location. Drive, boat or ride your bike via the trail. Food is always good and service is great. Live music sometimes as well. Giant tiki hut is part of the restaurant or sit by the water and watch the boats go by. Very casual and old Florida feel. Pictures are early afternoon on a Monday and not busy but they can get very busy.

Went here in the afternoon. Wasn't very busy, but waited pretty long for our meal.But was ok because she brought out extra onion rings. The cook said he thought I got shorted on the order. That was great.The atmosphere is great. Sat by the water and watched the boats and birds.Will definitely be back!

Most times the food is pricey but good, but drinks are served in Styrofoam cups. This time the food was stone cold, and wretched - the server blamed it on the cook.

FYI Food is terrible. Anything fried is full of grease. The fish is not fresh fish, it is frozen fish. Some of the Food was Cold. I knew once we walked in and saw a sign that says "you can seat yourself" it was not going to be a good restaurant. Once we sat down about 15 minutes later we were waited on by a server/manager. She advised us the owner had to come to help cook because they were short staff at some point in the day. I will say she was very nice and sweet. I had to send my food back because the fried grouper was full of grease. She was very Professional about it. This is a honest review.

Food was good due to too much breading on my crab legs. Otherwise everything was great. I will go again.
