About Randolph's on the River

Randolph's on the River is a restaurant known for its exceptional seafood and warm, family-like atmosphere. Located by the Rappahannock river, it offers diners a beautiful view. The service is praised for its attentiveness and friendliness. The menu features fresh and high-quality dishes, such as excellent scallops, good crab legs, and soft-shell crabs. The owner ensures everything is to the customers' liking. The food is excellent, with delicious crab cakes, soft-shell crab sandwiches, and homemade desserts like coconut cream cake. The hush puppies and sauces, including the Remoulade, are standouts. While the prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes and quality, the condition of the table surfaces and the availability of drawn butter for crab legs could be improved. Despite these minor issues, the restaurant's strong points, such as the beautiful riverside location, attentive service, and delicious seafood, make it a worthwhile dining experience. Customers praise the magnificent late lunch, amazing food, wonderful service, and great atmosphere with a peaceful view of the river. The crab dip and hush puppies are particularly recommended.

Great

Short drive from Fredericksburg and some of the best seafood around! Our group had a little bit of everything...fried shrimp, crab cakes, Norfolk style shrimp, boiled shrimp, catfish bites! All excellent and sides (twice baked potatoes!) to match with great hush puppies! And our server was the best...friendly, attentive, and no glass went empty! Give it a try...river front view is beautiful!!

We had lunch on the patio overlooking the river. The view was great and the fresh seafood was excellent. The server was very nice. We highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area - it's also a nice stop if you're taking back roads to avoid 95 traffic.
