River Smith's Chicken & Catfish

There was a small incident in the kitchen but the managers came up, were very polite and apologetic. They made up for the inconvenience even going further than what they did! I've always loved the food here growing up, and the quality of food hasn't changed! From the fried fish to the puffs and pies! So delicious. Great food and great people!

Extremely disappointed! My husband and I used to be regulars at River Smiths when we lived here, so when we were visiting today, we took the opportunity to have it again. The shrimp tasted dirty, the fries were cold, they even somehow managed to mess up the fried biscuits. It took almost 30 minutes to get our food at 2pm. We left 3/4 of our $40 meal uneaten. I did speak to the manager on duty. He apologized and gave excuses that their oil was changed 2 days ago so there was no reason that anything should have tasted bad. He offered me partial credit even though he knew we didn’t live here. Don’t waste your money on the food or the service! What a sad day that our memories of such a wonderful restaurant were erased with one visit.

Been around a long time and still as good as I remember.

Me and my husband were craving fried chicken so we came to Riversmith’s only to be very, very dissatisfied with the employees or kids running the kitchen this evening. Chicken legs still had blood. We asked them to fry longer which they said they did but it came out to us the same way! Like we are dumb and can’t tell that they just kept it warm and didn’t ‘cook’ it longer. The manager was of no help. I guess that’s what you get there nowadays! Very disappointed. If anything, we should have been reimbursed for this terrible experience.

Coming for New Mexico it is very hard to find a good home style fish and or Chicken. It’s always great to find a good restaurant that doesn’t kill the wallet! Girl at the counter was very helpful and had a great personality! Can’t say enough about how good everything about this place was. Definitely will be back!!

We went 15min before closing, which may be the reason why we got small pieces of a fish basket.
