Description

The River Crab restaurant has received a mix of reviews from customers. One diner had a terrible experience, with a ruined birthday celebration due to extremely poor service, while another couple was disappointed by the quality of the food during their visit for a birthday brunch. However, some customers had better experiences, such as those who enjoyed a delicious meal with excellent service from friendly waitstaff and recommended dishes. Despite some negative feedback, the restaurant was praised for its pleasant ambiance, spacious seating, and minimal noise levels. The prices were on the higher side, which could be a drawback for some patrons. Overall, while some guests may have had disappointing experiences, others found the River Crab to be a good spot for a meal, with improvements made by the new owners and fantastic staff.

The Impossible Burger at this restaurant is fantastic. The server was great and the French Fries were awesome. They also offer vegetarian options, including the Vegan Impossible burger. The service for take-out was excellent. This place is perfect for dinner, with prices ranging from $50 to $100 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a 5-star rating. Highly recommended dish: the Burger.

Literally the worst dining experience of my life (I 'm 61). We were a party of six, took at least 30 minutes to get our bar order. Our food order was beyond a **** show. Wrong items brought to our table multiple times, two of us never received our entree in the two hours we were there. Waitress was overwhelmed and inattentive as could be. Needless to say,I can 't review the food as my order didn 't show up. The place was super loud. Never going back.

If I could leave zero stars I would. This place is destined to failure unless they get proper management and front of house staffing. No one greeted us for 10 minutes upon arrival for a reservation. That was just the beginning of the shot show. Food was OK if you could get it. Half of our party never got their food order. Had to ask several times for our drink order. Not sure if our wait person was drunk or just did not give a ****. Stay away unless you like bad service and mediocre overpriced food. Literally the worst service I have ever experienced.

We started off with a reservation that was not found but ended on a high note. Service great, fast , funny, smart. New bartender needs some training. Food pretty tasty, price a bit high but I'm always lookin for a deal, atmosphere inviting warm, cozy. Looking for a reason to return one day. Might even stay at attached hotel...no drinking and driving! Be well ...Thanks for making my birthday a grand one!

I still hold the same opinion as before. I liked the old Rickeys better. The price has gone up significantly without a corresponding increase in quality. Every time we have given Rickeys another try, we have been let down. It's okay, but it doesn't measure up to the high prices. I have had better steaks and seafood at other restaurants in the area.
