It's a great place where you can eat on the river. Great margaritas and friendly lady bartenders. It was the last day of their season until next spring.

It was not worth the money. Food was barely edible. The server was a sweet girl. I didn't complain to her about anything just wasn't very good. Drinks tasted watered down.

We love the food and the atmosphere. We love going on the weekends when they have live music.

We tried this place because it is on an actual boat on the river. And the view was tremendous. It was fun to sit and look out on the water flowing past only 6 feet away. We were immediately seated and our order taken soon after, but, unfortunately, we were never served our food. I could go into the many excuses given by our server but the short story is that after being there nearly an hour (52 minutes per Google Timeline), we had to leave to make a tour time.

I found this place on Google and thought it looked interesting to try out. But I felt like the only thing worth going there for was the view.

We waited 5 minutes to be hosted, then was seated upstairs. We were there five more minutes before someone came to ask if we had been helped, then we were asked to move downstairs. Not a big deal, but still odd.

Once seated a third person then came to take our order. She was an older lady (compared to the other workers) and very kind. Once we got our drinks we didn't see her again until we were almost done with our meal though. My husband had to take napkins from an empty table. I got the wrap and a bit of the contents fell out of it, so I could have used a fork. The atmosphere was not busy. There were only two other tables that were seated while we were there. And the taste of the food wasn't bad, but not great enough to want to go back.

And come to find out we were moved so an employee could go on break. Maybe communication between coworkers could be better?

The river was beautiful to eat on. Ordered BLT & only had 2 small slices of bacon. Chicken wings were good. Steep incline to walk down & up to get to the river. Employees were nice. Restraunt was clean.

Atmosphere is great sitting on the river. Need some better organization. Food is not too bad. Service needs improvement.

Needs updated. Bathrooms are very small. Not enough choices on menu. We thought they'd have different kinds of fish, but there was only Pollock. It was mostly sandwiches, fries and appetizers. The slaw was store bought, not homemade. Fish, chicken and tenderloin was good. Waitress was very nice, but Overpriced for what you get.

You can have a beer literally right on the river. If you eat make sure to feed the catfish and ducks. They love French fries lol
