We have always enjoyed eating here. The cornbread and coleslaw is our favorite, along with the fresh fried shrimp. We eat here everytime we are in town.

Good food!! The staff was very engaging. Was there with a large group (20) and I don't believe anyone's order was messed up.

That last time we visited was 13 years ago. I was excited to visit again but was quite disappointed. It wasn't as good as I remember.

I STARTED GOING TO "ON THE RIVER!" WHEN IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PRESENT LOCATION! THAT'S WHEN DREW & PARTNER WOULD BRING THE CORNBREAD TO THE TABLE & FLIP IT OVER & BACK IN THE SKILLET!! JUST CELEBRATED MY 85TH BIRTHDAY THERE ON MARCH 25TH! EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EXCEPT I DID'NT GET TO SEE MY FAVORITE FRIEND DREW!! MAYBE IF I AM STILL ABLE I WELL SEE HIM ON MY "86TH" IN 2017! THANKS FOR KEEPING EVRYTHING PERFECT AS ALWAYS!!

Freshest tasting fried catfish & fried shrimp I've had in a long long time. The Krab au grautin was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted.
