About On the River Restaurant

On the River Restaurant is a charming spot known for its good service and quick food. The restaurant has recently made improvements and continues to offer super fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. The fish po boy remains a delicious choice, while the grilled flounder and shrimp plate is excellent. Diners praise the amazing fluffy and tasty homemade cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet and the seasoned to perfection greens. The fried catfish and shrimp were incredible and fresh. Portions are huge and plentiful, ensuring guests leave stuffed and satisfied. Appetizers came out piping hot and entrees were good sized portions with excellent flavor and preparation. The catfish poboy was spectacular and a MUST stop. The friendly atmosphere and great service make On the River a great place to enjoy a meal, with many recommending it to anyone visiting the Freeport area.
