Allie was our incredible server. A. We both delightfully enjoyed the succulent Shrimp Trinity. Grilled, Fried, and Stuffed Shrimp with a Stuffed Baked Potato. We highly recommend a cup of Seafood Gumbo to go along with any meal. Our family loves the atmosphere and food on the Riverfront! You won't walk away disappointed, or hungry.

Ate here everyday for a week straight. Very clean establishment. They have indoor dining, main dining and bar, a porch that's screened in, and a patio for al fresco dining. It's located on the river so you can see the occasional boat pass by. Really cool dining atmosphere. They have great specials everyday and the food is phenomenal. Best hamburger steak I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend and it's an hour drive for me to get here.

We definitely had a 5 star experience from the welcome to the food, service and live music! The hostess greeted us with a genuine welcome and smile which just sets the tone for the experience. We chose to sit on the screened in patio where we received excellent service from Reese. She let us know the specials and gave us great recommendations along with attentive service throughout our time there. The food is delicious! Everything we ordered came out hot, or cold, timed perfectly and cooked beautifully. We started with the oysters which were tender and tasty along with a cup of French Onion soup which was nice and rich and rustic. For entrees we had the Shrimp & Grits and the pasta with crab cake. The crab cake stole the show, next time I'll get the entree! The grits are thick and hearty and the shrimp is cooked nice and tender and it's all spiced just right. The finishing touches of live music made for the perfect evening!

The food and the service was amazing!!! My wife and I sat outside for lunch on our anniversary. We had the fried green beans for the appetizer. My wife had the eggplant lunch and I had the Gouda Chicken. If we are ever back in Abbeville, we will definitely be back! Our waiter was Kaya and she took good care of us!

I ate lunch with my parents here on 11/16/2018. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The food was great and I especially liked the restaurant, patio, lounge area by the bayou, and the sports bar area. This is a must if you come visit my hometown Abbeville, Louisiana. I will definately be returning!!!!

My wife and I went there yesterday for our 19th anniversary. This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We got there at about 6:30pm on a Saturday night and the place was packed. We had to wait about 40 minutes for a table to be available, but that was fine because we were able to find a spot in the bar to have a few drinks and enjoy the ambiance while we waited. When our table was ready we ordered the lump crab meat crab dip as an appetizer. We were blown away! It was amazing! I ordered the tuna and my wife had the seafood eggplant stack. We were not disappointed! We will definitely be back! There were so many other things on the menu that we want to go back and try.
