First time there. Place was busy even at 3:30 PM on a Saturday. We didn’t see the bar so it must be on the other side from our booth. The place seems well maintained and clean. It was noisy but we could talk ok. This is primarily a seafood restaurant but has other options like burgers and salads. It has a large menu and serves alcohol. Service was very good. It has booths and tables and a bar. See my photos. My wife got the Cod Basket ($18) which had 4 pieces of cod fingers , not fillets. She was expecting fillets like Long John Silver’s. Included was coleslaw, cilantro aioli sauce and a mountain of fries. She liked the Cod but not as much as LJ Silver’s. The slaw was good but she found the sauce spicy. I had some of her fries and we both found them average, nothing special.
I got the Salmon chunk appetizer ($15) which came in a pan with a leaf of lettuce, lemon slice and cilantro aioli sauce. The salmon was breaded/battered. It was supposed to be lightly fried, but it was deep fried and overcooked, see how dark it is. It was dry and the breading over powered the salmon. With the sauce, that’s all you can taste. Disappointed. We both had ice tea ($6.50). With tip/taxes, lunch was over $51. Would we come back? Maybe but not soon because there’s more affordable options.

Our server was sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable about menu items. We ordered two apps on top of our entrees and all the food was delicious. They make their dressings from scratch, and I couldn’t get enough of the Parmesan ranch dressing. She even brought me a cup to take home! Portion sizes were generous but compatible with pricing. Looking forward to returning when we are in the area again.

Our hostess and waiter had top notch service and were delightful! The atmosphere was good for sports fans. The temp was quite cold so a sweatshirt is a good idea for those who get cold easily but it was clean and comfy – and relaxed. The duck glaze was good and the chicken plate was good but the 48.00 NY strip was a huge disappointment. I ordered medium and hot medium well to well (which really ruins a steak). That was a pretty big disappointment considering how expensive the plate was.

The food was phenomenal and our server was super nice. We had the fried green tomatoes for a started and they were cooked perfect. Not too heavy on the batter and so juicy. I had the duck in the blueberry reduction and it was perfectly balanced. And my husband loved his catfish, it was so light and flavorful.

I was surprised to find such a high quality seafood restaurant off the interstate at Zion Crossroads, VA. Even the number of cars & trucks parked everywhere outside was sort of crazy. Our waitress was wonderful and quickly took our order. Choosing to split our meal, we started with their Signature She Crab Soup which was VERY good! Then an equally delicious crab cake (2) entree with remoulade sauce, seasoned green beans and rice pilaf. We agreed our meal was delicious and very enjoyable. And to top it off – Key West Key Lime pie with raspberry coulis. It’s no wonder Rhett’s was packed out, their food is top-notch.

Passing through and looking for someplace to have lunch and it was the highest rated place I saw! They have fired Oysters which I hadn’t had since my last trip home (Louisiana) so I decided to try them.
The app would not take my card so I ate in and had the oysters. They were good!! The cilantro and Aioli sauce is great! The waitress was friendly and accommodating after I told her I wanted to eat in. Ice atmosphere

The Caribbean chicken entree was outstanding, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with bold savory sweet flavors that made every bite unforgettable. The sauce had just the right balance of spice and richness and the portion was generous too.
We started with the fried jalapeños and wow what a way to kick things off. Crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful on the inside with just the right heat level. Definitely a must try appetizer.
We loved this place from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Already planning our next visit.

I really want to give this place more stars, however, the attention to detail is lackluster at best. The past 4 or so times I’ve been here my order has been missing ingredients.
The food is good, the prices are a bit high, but overall fine, the food quality is great, the portions are great. Waiting 10-15 mins to get a corrected order while everyone else at the table finishes is not great and deters me from considering this an option when dining.
Attention to detail from order to execution needs improvement. Service staff is genuinely apologetic, but there’s a breakdown somewhere in the chain of execution.

What a fun little find this place was. The server was great with knowledge of all the foods they had. Food came out In a very timely manner and was really good. It’s a place I hope to revisit on a trip again.

We are traveling & Rhett’s was recommended by our B & B. I had the mahi mahi over a grit toast (a little like polenta). It was fabulous! Perfect seasoning. Our server was very attentive. They serve a full menu. Prices very reasonable. Atmosphere was “sports bar” busy but not loud.
