Amazing place!! The foods great!! The only things I wasn’t keen on was the fish and chips (fries) said it came with an added side. Well it didn’t the side is the chips (fries). And the Hawaiian coleslaw tasted like regular coleslaw. The chicken was amazing! And the gator tale was SO good!! Keep lime pie was nummy. Not very tart. And I liked the fish. Our waitress was a doll. If it’s really windy I would recommend eating inside unless you want to hold onto your food that wants to blow away. I got an amazing picture of the local raven stealing food!! There’s a sign too that says the ramp down to the boat restaurant gets really slippery when it’s wet too so be careful.

Seafood boil, giant burgers and beer pitchers. Great food and service. Don’t skip the oysters! Enjoy like we did. The patio comes with a great river view. Don’t miss River Bottom Grille

We sat on their outside top deck and had a great view of the docks and marina. The shrimp was fantastic, some of the best cooked I’ve had in a while. My dad said his steak was cooked nicely. My mom and husband both ordered the Mahi Mahi and agreed it was overcooked. Everyone enjoyed their sides and the service was great. We all agreed we would come back and just get some sort of shrimp dish or try the burgers that looked delicious when walked by.

I had a really good experience at River Bottom! Definitely the place to go to in Florence!
It was very busy but we got in fairly quickly. You can sit outside and enjoy the river while you wait. The staff was very friendly and our server checked on us often. The mixed drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. We started with the alligator tail appetizer and it was delicious! Perfectly cooked and you get a good sized portion for an appetizer! For our entrees, I got the butterfly shrimp entree and my partner got the Shrimp Happens entree. Hug shrimp and a lot to eat! Very flavorful too!
Can’t wait to come back when I’m in town again. A lot of people were getting the burgers and they looked great too!

A direct quote from my husband “omg this food is freakin amazing”. This place blew my mind. We’re new to the area and thought this sounded like a good option for our weekly date night and it did not disappoint! Our server had the same name as me so we kinda bonded over that and the food was to die for and you get plenty of it. We sat outside and enjoyed the gorgeous waterfront view. We agreed this is our new favorite restaurant . 20 stars guys!

Fabulous little dining establishment located on the water. The coming and goings of the boats and patrons rushing in to get their fill of the fresh seafood and delightful spirits is just a bonus. The staff is well trained and they are more than happy to be there. The food was scrumptious from the first to the very last bite. We had the cosmopolitan martini while waiting for a table. I’d barely finished my drink when my text arrived that my table was ready. Then we had oysters on the half shell, hush puppies and crab claws and all were cooked and served perfectly by an attentive and friendly server. I also had a featured drink that was more than yummy with vodka, rum, triple sec, blue carasou pineapple and oj and I couldn’t even finish it , huge bang for twelve bucks. The entire meal was 50 bucks plus tip. Very affordable and worth every penny. I finally found the restrooms, they’re located outside near parking although a little odd it wasn’t inconvenient at all and they were clean. Great experience.

Food was horrible. To start we got gator bites, fried mushrooms and hushpuppies. All were burnt to a crisp in old burnt oil. We couldnt eat them. The burnt entrees scared me away from the fried fish. I got the fillet minion and shrimp skewer instead. Bad mistake. The shrimp was ok but they sub’ed my fillet with another cut as they ran out. I ordered medium rare but got a very well done steak. The only good thing is my dogs were happy as I brought my burnt steak home to them

We went on a Friday afternoon and there was a 45 minute wait, so we ate at the bar. I ordered the shrimp and crap dip appetizer and the blackened fish flat sandwich. Both were so delicious! Service was quick, the bartender was on top of everything and the location can’t be beat. Only draw back was the parking. The lot was full so it was a bit of a walk to the restaurant. I would definitely go back!

We found this restaurant through a search, read previous reviews good and bad and decided we’d give it a try. Set in the middle of a marina off the TN river it’s a two story build that looks like it possibly was an old fish house. It’s small and quant and the atmosphere gives you a good old dive bar feeling. Our only negative is a large fan hanging from the ceiling covered in dust which wasn’t pointed in our direction because nobody wants dust in their food. Hopefully that gets addressed and cleaned up. The overall atmosphere was very nice and the overall noise level allowed us to have a normal conversation. The small kitchen is putting out some great food. We started off with a shrimp and crab dip that was delicious. My wife went with the fish-and-chips and they allowed her to swap out the fries for a baked potato. I got the Swiss and Mushroom burger, both were really good. If you are a beer drinker, I highly recommend trying the blood orange beer. Our over all cost wasn’t bad since we had an appetizer and drinks. If you are in the Florence AL area locate this restaurant and give it a try.

My two daughters came down to visit me and I seen this place online and we wanted to try something different. And oh boy did we get something different. We got the alligator for appetizer and it was terrible not just because it was alligator because we are late alligator before it’s because it had no flavor to the crust. Then we All three ordered a different fish dish and we all tasted of each other’s and every dish tastes the same nothing had any seasoning on it the breading or nothing. It was just blend terrible taste and food. I asked the waitress was the food always like this. She said well the fried food is usually not as seasoned than good as the grilled because there is more seasoning on it. She said it was the last day of their season and they would be closing tonight for this winter season so I guess they didn’t want to cook very good that day. I hope you go at a different time and not when they’re getting ready to open or getting ready to close because air food was terrible. I am so sorry that I got them to go there with me we will never do it again. Our food should have been taken away from the table and taking back but we didn’t do that we just left it.
