I ordered an appetizer, a main course followed by a dessert. My tab alone was $96.00 which I have/had no problem with, followed by a 22% tip. Here is some background, I 'm in Mississippi (draw your own conclusions) I was the only patron at the time that looked like me (melanated). The gentleman who brought me my entre was a Black man. My waitress periodically asked is there anything I needed. But waited on the table that came 20 minutes after I arrived and she frequently asked that table numerous times if they needed anything. Granted there were several people in their party. After I paid my bill and giving such a generous tip, I was told that you need to leave because there is a party coming . I 've never in my 57 years ever been told something like that. I was offended and dejected. Out of embarrassment I left and asked to speak to a manager. I asked him to come outside to discuss this behavior, and the waitress from hell got wind of it and came storming out to defend her obnoxious behavior, gave me a Karen apology and expected me to genuflect at her half hearted apology. I code switchingly, explained to now Karen that it wasn 't what she said, it was how she said it... To no avail, I guess I was to brachiate and beez glad she apologized. After all this is Mississippi...

The pork loin was also great and my wife loved the red fish. Drinks were made strong also so cheers to the bartender! The atmosphere is great for date night.

They have the best tuna you will ever eat as well as the flounder. The service is second to none and the bar has almost anything you could want. Parking is plentiful. You can't go wrong eating at Two Rivers. Steaks are good also. I give them 5 stars JHuntet

It's apparently a local cult classic. The food isn't terrible but the quality doesn't match the price. Let me start with the mexican cornbread. I had read reviews and we excitedly awaited its arrival. It looked great! It was dense and dry but it needed so much more sauce to make it tolerable. We don't see what all the hype is about. 100% would not recommend that. Other than the best presentation of the night, it's a no go. My beef brochette was served atop over-cooked angel hair with a cream sauce reminiscent of my first try at cream sauce 30 years ago. Bland and tasted like it was made with desicated parmesan and milk. The presentation was a bit hysterical. The 3 grilled pepper spears and onion spears were awkwardly arranged to the side like an episode of a home chef cooking show. The orange slice twist was an odd garnish. The steak was cooked as ordered, med-rare and had a good flavor. Was it disgusting? No. Was it worth $33? No. My husband had the pork chop. It was delicious but overcooked. So many places overcook pork so this wasn't surprising. The sauce was so flavorful and I ordered fries as my side for him to enjoy. The fries were homemade and perfectly cooked. He ordered the cheese grits and they were pretty good. It was so odd that he had a porkchop on a plate with a bowl of grits that were not even on the plate. Again, presentation is lacking and you eat with your eyes first! We had taken our aunt and uncle for their 42 wedding anniversary. She had the amberjack special and he had redfish. Both enjoyed theirs. Our aunt and uncle ordered a special dessert which was a puff pastry with mixed berries. We all tried it and enjoyed it. It was served piping hot with a scoop of ice cream. I personally think a better quality whipped cream would befit that type of dessert. I ordered the apple pie. Someone in the kitchen knows how to make pastry. The most perfect, flaky crust. The only think I would have enjoyed more was a tiny sprinkling of sugar on the pastry prior to baking but otherwise, it was amazing. Now to our server. We have known Ms V for over 20 years but lost touch with her when Steam Room Grille closed. She is an angel and could teach classes on what makes an absolutely delightful and skilled server. We might go back just for her! Overall, we feel it's over priced for the quality. We are foodies. We love good food and don't mind paying, but we like the quality of food and presentation to match the price.
