I stopped in two weeks ago on a Friday night at around 9:00 the restaurant was busy almost all the tables were full. We got seated quickly the waitress was very polite, we got our drinks on a timely manner and she took our orders. Like I said they were busy it took a bit to get our food but when we did the food was awesome as was the service. We will definitely eat there again, I recommend the crab cakes they have the best seafood sauce!

Buckle up, people … I’m going to take you on an adventure of our dining experience. We came in for dinner at 9p on a Friday night (they close at 10p – according to the signs out by the highway, on the door & their Google listing). There were several large parties already seated so it was a little loud & chaotic. We were greeted by a hostess & asked if we wanted to squeeze into a booth – we have 3 adults, a teenager & a 10-year old so we are NOT going to fit comfortably in a booth. So, instead of putting 2 tables together, they put a chair at the end of a 4-top table.
We sat for more than 5 minutes before someone came by to ask us if we’ve been helped & when we said no, you’d think she’d apologize & take our drink order for our server. Nope. She decides to yell across the restaurant “Who got this table? Payton? You got a table!” Then, she walks away
There was a large party seated nearby who were clearly intoxicated. They continued to drink more alcohol, get louder & drop several f-bombs. Should we have complained to the owner? Why when he was the one making drinks, serving them & enjoying a drink of his own with them?
When we got our food, it was pretty underwhelming & room temperature
The only thing which was hot was the seafood bucket – it had a crab cluster, crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, sausage & corn tossed in a spicy Cajun seasoning
For $42, it better have been hot & it was probably the only thing that had been eaten.
The catfish special with fries was room temperature. The bacon in the BLT was not warm. The crab cakes were salty & the texture seemed like they were probably frozen, then cooked.
We were checked on a few times by our server to see if we needed anything but no one ever asked, “How was everything?” It’s probably not a good sign when you have to get your own drink refill.
At this point, we just wanted our check, pay & leave.
We left at about 945p. Word of caution, if you plan to leave after 930p, you will be walking out to a completely black out dark GRAVEL parking lot. Oh, did I mention the parking lot is very uneven & has several potholes?? Make sure you’ve got your flashlight on.
Maybe we went on an off night & we usually like to give a place the benefit of a doubt but some things can’t be overlooked.
Happily will not be back, definitely do not recommend, try at your own risk!
*our bill was +$130 for 5 people (crab cake appetizer with a baked potato, catfish special, BLT, cheeseburger w/fries, seafood bucket & 5 sodas)

This was my first time at Redbeard’s. I had mahi mahi with garlic mashed potatoes and it was delicious! The prices were a little high in general, but in our rural area that is to be expected. This was a special occasion eat-out, so I didn’t mind. It is worth stopping in if you have never tried it!

For a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, they had pretty good seafood. We got the crab cakes, a seafood boil and the kids fettuccine. The portions were really good and there a lot of large shrimp in the boil. The server was great and the service was fairly quick. We got there shortly after they opened. I think the are only open on the weekends after 4. Easily the best restaurant in Van Buren for a great meal. We will definitely go again next time we’re in town floating.

It is off the main highway, about a mile. Great food, but it seems they are charging city prices. I was certainly surprised to order a typical pasta plate, with 5 grilled shrimp for $22.
Overall, it’s a great place, great atmosphere!!

Over priced! Had to wait & wait & wait for our check! Bad parking lot! Service not so great! Just turn it into a bar & you will do better!

We had a new waitress who was training and she did an exceptional job. But what’s more it was nice to see her coworker coming over to tell us she was new and what a great job she was doing. The food was great too!!

Went for first time since new ownership. Had been once prior under former owners. WE WON’T BE BACK.
Ordered spinach dip…apparently a frozen item they just warm up-but it was served with top and bottom burned-i mean crusty brown/black. I thought perhaps it was supposed to be dark on top until I started scooping and found the bottom was stuck to the pan. Due to enormous price hikes from former menu, I ordered a hamburger; or as menu stated, “build a burger.” I’ve had build a burger options before at other places, but they didn’t start out, meat on a bun only at $14! Onions $1.00, lettuce $.50, etc. And lettuce? Oh it came out with one leaf of lettuce…ONE LEAF!!! Chicken wings were over cooked but due to BBQ sauce, could be eaten.
One dessert was ordered; a brownie Sundae, which comes with icecream and whipped cream. Owners came out with our waitress stating though they were out of icecream, he would go right then to get some if we could wait five minutes. Tried to back out yet they insisted. We wait, and after a bit we decide just forget dessert, to which we’re told ” but it’s already started being put together” I’m guessing by the cook?)…yes, we decided not to get it but it was very much implied we now had to get it! And before our wait person left the table stating such, here comes some fellow (cook?) with said brownie on a plate with whipped cream adorning the corners of it and no icecream. Same price of course, but no icecream. It was not finished-plating or eaten.
Some may ask why we ate what was brought; why didn’t we say something-tried, but was so loud our server kept missing what we’d try to say. I had to correct them twice as they heard wrong, due to noise ( no fault of their own). But I’ve learned too what can happen when you tell someone about food issues-and it isn’t pleasant. Not to mention, this meal was absolutely not a $100 meal. First time under former management was great and had no problem paying as we got great food. Not so much now. I’m sorry, but it’s a nope.

My family and I were in town tonight and decided to try Redbeard’s. We ordered our food, and about 45 minutes a table to people who obviously knew one of the waiters very well came in. That table had food out within 20 minutes, while our table and a table of about 20 people who were there before us were still waiting for food. It had been about 1 hr and 15 minutes by this point, so I asked our waitress for an update on our food. About 5 minutes later, the waitress said they were about to start our food. We had been there for 1 hr and 20 minutes and they had not even started our food, but a table who had been there 20 minutes had food in front of them. We found this unacceptable, so we just left. I would not recommend this place to anyone due to this incredibly unprofessional behavior.
