The quality and flavor of the food here was amazing and the prices were so reasonable! The veal pannata was delicious, great size sized dish. The veal was flatted and fried perfectly! Anything on the menu I don't think you could go wrong with! ALSO this was our first time here and I have to mention the pallet cleanser with the lemon sorbet was just an extra special touch! Also, they do not have a dessert menu, inside they have a dessert tray that they come out and show you!!! SERVICE: we had Casey as our server and she was great! She gave us recommendations as well listed all of the specials for us! We came on a Wednesday evening so it was pretty dead, but excellent service! AMBIANCE: the ambiance is incredible. I truly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You walk in and it feels like a luxury restaurant, but you don't break the bank on one dish! Everything was clean, moody, and perfect for a date night or celebration! If anything it was a little chilly so I'd recommend bringing a jacket!

Excellent food. Great ambience. Attentive service. Perfect for a night out with friends & family.read more

It was our 34th wedding anniversary and our traditional restaurant has closed. Decided to try this…read morerestaurant down the road from us. It is a fine Dining restaurant so our first impression was "Yes" it may be good. Our server Jaden was simply a breathe of fresh air. He is 18 years old, hard working and very professional. Let's look at the meal. We started with the oyster bienville and rockerfella...... horrible to say the least. We expected half shells which would make it an oyster, dab of garlic, dab of whatever the item was described...... as you can see in photo, it was a glob with no presentation and taste was just as bad. Which set the vibe for our night. The steak was excellent but the side broccoli rice failed..... and that was it.... Disappointing for the upper-scale price we paid.

I've been coming to Charlie's seafood restaurant for years, and I stop by for my regular dish…read moreeverytime I'm here: kung pao shrimp. It's perfect everytime, and the broccoli is always perfect. I wish they'd share their sauce recipe so I can make it at home. They're always friendly when I come, and one time they even gave me a free gift that was like a keepsake from their culture. The fried shrimp are always big and juicy, and I think it does what it's supposed to do. = I usually use their drive thru, which has always been pretty fast for me. They'll have you park ahead and wait if you food is still being prepared, which isn't bad for me. Just means it's being fried fresh. The inside seems pretty basic and a normal ambiance, although I've seen a couple people have odd encounters. I don't know, I tend to keep things pretty simple, but others find themselves in arguments with the workers. Maybe the customer service isn't great, but like I said, my order is usually simple and I tend to drive through, so maybe the simplicity shields me from unfavorable customer service, as I don't have order modifications or special requests. I'll still be coming everytime I'm in Louisiana to get the same dish I loved since high school. Love me some Charlie's!

This is a top-notch local seafood restaurant, and long time favorite. When I say "long-term", I'm almost 82 & have been a customer for over 65 years, since coming with my parents in the 1950's. I know of no other restaurant anywhere with that record of excellence & consistent performance. The specialty is Louisiana Atlantic blue crab, and in that genre, Riverside has no real peers. Yes, they offer a wider array including local crawfish, shrimp, & oysters; plus cold water lobsters & steaks. But our crab is delicate & must be handled with expertise. Riverside does that better than I could at home on the Teche. Secluded off street lot parking, swamp-ish theme landscaped grounds, locals bar, professional waitstaff. If unfamiliar w/ area, use your phone for directions. One can't go wrong here. 5+ Stars from me, every time. Don't stop until you get here ! Caveat, may be closed Sundays & Mondays, call first. Rick
