The staff was warm and our server Christina had excellent customer service. She was attentive and provided whatever items needed in a timely manner. Christina was pleasant, had a great smile and seemed to love her job. And the food was well prepared and flavorful. Thanks to Christina for helping to make our evening a great one!

My family and I used to visit this location all the time, but haven’t been since COVID. Went on 1/25/25 and the customer service was AWESOME , our server always checked up on us to see if we needed anything he updated us on when are appetizers and food would be ready, he was EXCELLENT. The food HOWEVER was less than OK. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta, loaded bake potatoe, and crab legs. The pasta was bland, it lacked the Cajun seasoning. I did enjoy the biscuits and the loaded bake potatoe. My husband didn’t like any of his food. Needless to say, we will not be back. If I was just rating the customer service I would have given it 5 stars.

I haven't been here since 2017 so I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of our appetizers and meals when I went yesterday and again for lunch today. Our server, Tammy was phenomenal and everything was fresh and flavorful. Of course the biscuits didn't disappoint. Prices weren't break the bank either. I'm glad to see they've improved and I hope they remain a staple in Riverside.

Got what we expected, great snow globe sangria, lobster and shrimp linguine, crispy brussel sprouts and seafood stuffed mushrooms.

Yummy! We had no idea you could order the buffet shrimp with a side. First, you have to place an order and select the shrimps of your choice. Want more shrimps? They got you! Everything was scrumptious, and the brownie dessert with ice cream. Loved it!

My friend called me up and told me about Red Lobster all you can eat shrimp. So I thought why not, I have been craving a baked potato which was perfectly buttered with sour cream and chives. The shrimp linguine was amazing but my favorite is between the tequila lime shrimp and the crispy dragon shrimp. And don’t let me forget to tell you about the cheddar bay biscuits…so yummy with a nice salty finish. The service was great!!! Our server name tag said Christ,(short for Christopher)he was so attentive and fast with our order. Over all had the best lunch. Only wish I had more room because the cooks made everything absolutely delicious.

This place needs a facelift. So dark, a true dungeon. They give you the same amount of cheesy bread no matter how many people in the party. The plate was lacking 2 items and after we finished our dinner the server offered to bring the baked potato and broccoli (for dessert?!) lol They give us a discount for it. The shrimp scampi was poorly presented, as if in a hurry. The lobster tail was just okay. The presentation didn't come close to the pictures of the same food. Too bad I was looking forward to the experience and ended up disappointed.
Ms. Morrissette
Pros: Dish was good. Cons: Biscuits were tiny Order not correct Food options not available Given dirty glass Food took way to long. People came in order after and got their food before. No I didn't order anything crazy. The drink from the bar was weak.
