Service was spot-on fantastic! Drinks, appetizer, refills, entrees, checking on our table numerous times throughout our dinner. Wonderful! The Hurricane Burger is a beast... a delicious, juices-and-melted-cheeses-running-down-your-hands beast! (I regret not getting a picture of that!) The burger patty, cooked to a perfect medium, extended outside of the bun, which, bless its heart, did a good job of holding everything together. Toppings included grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, swiss, american, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo, ketchup & mustard. I excluded the ketchup. Definitely going back for another! read more

We love this place-been coming for over 8 years. Swamp soup-just try it-beans and greens with pork flavoring-yum. Best fried gator I've had. Portions are great. The omg poboy with crawfish sauce is beyond epic. This is a hidden gem. read more

Fish River Grill 2 - Seafood Near Me - Foley, Alabama

The shrimp with fried green tomatoes and crawfish sauce was very good, however my wife's fried fish was over battered and there was no local fresh fish options. The service was good and quick as there were very people in the restaurant when we were there. The ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Well I always enjoy going there. But last week my wife and I. Went food was great as always. But the cook hollering out from the kitchen got old real fast. You could hear him any where in the main dining area. We notice others in the area noticing the loud noise from the kitchen. We hurriedly ate and left. read more

Purchased a Swamp Burger and it had a pound of salt on the meat patty. Someone has a heavy hand in the kitchen. Customer service is questionable also. read more

Shout out to server Laurie who was exceptional ! The food was good but nothing extraordinary The stuffed crabs were really all stuffing. Good stuffing but still hard to find much crab in them. Drinks were good Fries were so so I loved the hush puppies and the soup was good too. Prices are reasonable but it is mostly fried type of food. I would Go back but try a different menu item read more

This place was highly recommended but it fell short for me. The service was very friendly but the food was mediocre. I ordered the white fish with crawfish sauce and was disappointed. It lacked flavor. I had to add salt and pepper to make it more appetizing. Also, the side options are very limited. The hush puppies, coleslaw, and swamp soup were decent. I don't think I would eat here again if in the area. read more

We have come to Gulf Shores area 13 years and always heard how good their food was. It was great food great service. Abs loved the swamp soup, we will definitely return. read more

I haven't eaten for a few days due to an upset tooth but this place is worthy of chewing on one side. Started with a complimentary swamp soup that contained collards ham and beans. It was fantastic and a soothing petit bouche. I was ready to eat! Next, their 1/2 1/2 platter of shrimp, oysters, fries, okra, hushpuppies and slaw. Their oysters were some of the best cornmeal oysters ever. Hushpuppies airy, and slaw creamy good with carrot and green onions. Tartar brought to the table was homemade and chilled. My waitress Sierra P was super nice and accommodating with a few special requests providing excellent service. The open dining wasn't too noisy and there's a fun "watering" hole area that is swampy cute themed. Lots of tourists here today and locals taking a break from the ballpark! I will return with a happier tooth! read more

This was a recommendation from a family member living in the area. The staff is very friendly and not afraid to give a little good natured sass back! When you dine in, they start with "swamp soup". I really don't know what was in it but it's one of my favorites now. Almost like a wedding soup in flavor. You also get a piece of moist chocolate cake with some white icing on top. A great way to end the meal. The table ordered gator bites and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. Both were very good, but I enjoyed the gator bites more. There was a lot of salt on it so beware. I had the River Sausage Po'Boy for my entree. This is a sausage hoagie loaded with sauerkraut, onions, peppers, and mustard. The sausage is not spicy and is a lot to eat but I somehow managed. You can have fries as a side, but there are other options. I chose the fried okra. read more

Food was delicious. Mother in law loved the Salmon platter. Grouper platter is great. Tasty Cole slaw

The food is good and service is okay. The fried shrimp are done perfectly. Good if you're wanting fried seafood or a good burger.

The staff is amazing and will recommend dish's. The food is very good especially the free trip to the salad bar.

I came here with the boyfriend twice and had a great time. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. I told the server I was gluten intolerant and she told me what I could and couldn't have and she was really good. The waitress was training another waitress and they were transparent about it and did a good job. The food was really good I liked my boyfriends cat fish a lot. I would recommend this place for a date because the food was so good, and the service was on point. But you gotta get the fish here. The waitresses were friendly but respectful to me and my boyfriend. Thank you for providing me with such good service. For not being around here [from LA] you really made me feel comfortable at your establishment and I appreciate that a lot because it's not always that way. We will be back to support your business, thank you . read more

I have been coming here for years so I know what to expect. I love Cajun food. I love their swamp soup (think turnip green pot likker with ham and beans). They have a shrimp po-boy covered with OMG sauce, which is basically a shrimp/crawfish etouffee. The hush puppies, slaw and fried okra are good. Great tea for rehydrating at the end of the day. I used to not care for going here but I do like it now. The service is always very friendly. Waitresses you can cut up with. There something on the menu for everyone. I think one of the local rags even voted they had the best burger. The Cajun Pistols are good too. (Etouffee stuffed breadsticks) You got to try those too. You need to try that Sweet Thang Beignet at least once. Its puffed and stuffed with apples and peaches. read more

Fish River Grill is a "regular" night place for us. It isn't "special" but it is good. The first time we went years ago and were given their sample of swamp soup, we started ordering it by the 1/2 gallon especially during the cooler months and eating it with cornbread for a couple of days. We unlike the hurricane burgers and the fish sandwiches. Bushwackers are good too. (Usually have that at the bar while we wait in our swamp soup to go. Family friendly, casual and quick. read more

Delicious hamburgers and seafood. I will drive to Foley any day for good food. The service is excellent.

This is my favorite location! The Cajun Pistols are a must!!! The burgers are in my top 10... and don't forget the Swamp Soup! We take some home every visit! read more

I came to eat with my family. Me and my brother decided we weren't as hungry and wanted to share an entree. I was upset to learn that they want you to pay to share the entree. Penalize to share or the people who are less fortunate. It's a misguided policy. read more

Food was great and lots of it. Service was great too. There is no ambiance but it's a meal nota life long commitment, eat the food & go. I had the blackened shrimp. Came with fries, cole slaw, hush puppies, fried okra and soup. Eat here today if you can. Only downside was the nasty bathroom. read more

Excellent seafood, it is where the locals eat. Huge portions at fair prices! Big enough to share for sure. Swamp soup is very tasty! read more

Fish River knows how to cook catfish. Surprisingly, the make an outstanding Rueben too.

I took my kids and grandkids there tonight and we spent quite a bit of money as you'd imagine for 6 adults and 2 children. I was so impressed with our server I'm sorry I don't remember her name but she served us in the corner in the bar area. She was one of the best servers i have ever had and we frequent some very high end restaurants. Every request was met with nothing but smiles and charm. My wife and I have eaten here several times and the food has always been top quality and the amount for the price cannot be beat! The swamp soup is phenomenal. The restaurant itself is very quaint and feels like you are in New Orleans but you are in a strip mall in OB Alabama. Some of the highlights were the PoBoys....any of them......just pick one......they are all great. The bread is true blue French bread from NO. I will eat here every time we come back to visit. I will recommend this fantastic place to any who ask and everyone I meet headed this way. To the server I'm sorry I forgot your name but you are one of the best thank you so much for making that dinner one of the best of our trip. To everyone else do yourself a favor and GO EAT AT THE FUSH RIVER GRILL 2!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

We live in Foley so any time we have guest from out of town, this is one of our stops. The beast Bloody Mary is awesome. Hurricane burger is great! So much food! We always have a to go box. read more

Fish River Grill 2 - The beast - Seafood Near Me - Foley, Alabama

This place was disgusting. The waitress was new and literally asked me if she was making the drinks right or if she rang up or dinner right. She did not do either of them correctly but these were the least of our worries. The plates were GROSS, plastic with the paint melting off. They didn't have the swamp soup... thank goodness because we may have gotten really ill. We ordered a Fried Shrimp Platter with a side salad. The shrimp was questionable, the hushpuppies were good- we got sick by the time we got home. My salad had no cheese, was a bunch of past ripe different lettuces and she charged me for a house salad... we didn't care to pay to just get out of there. Last but not least my Amaretto Sour had absolutely no alcohol in it, she told us she had to look up how to make it. Not really sure why the bartender wasn't making the drinks. The girl was really trying and we didnt want to be rude to her but seriously this place is NOT GOOD and the only reason they're open is because you only have to go once in a beach town... some other sorry fool will show up tomorrow. Save your time and your stomachs. { The decor was all thrown together, nothing matched and had obviously not even been dusted in quite some time. The chairs were church chairs... The least they could do is buy some decent dining* chairs. } Last but not least another server was cleaning a table next to us, our server grabbed HUGE bottles of tartar sauce and cocktail sauce from another table and set it directly on our table. The tops of both bottles were crusted over and the sides of the bottles were sticky with filth. read more

We met our daughter and son-in-law here for dinner on a Tuesday evening and it was really good. We had fried pickle basket as an appetizer and they were great. I had the fried shrimp po-boy and it was delicious. There were plenty of shrimp in the po-boy and the sauce was great! My wife had the grilled white fish and she said it was delicious as well. The service was great. For the price-point, I think the food here is as good as anywhere. If you're in the gulf area, I recommend Fish River for a good dinner. Family friendly. read more

Not our first visit and definitely not our last ! First, the "Beast" (a Bloody Mary with a soft shell crab) was beyond description along with the complimentary Swamp Soup !!! We followed that up with the NOLA, gumbo, and the Sweet Thang; oh my :) I will admit that I do not normally order fried shrimp, BUT I will the next time we visit; they were on the Beast and on my NOLA; they are amazing ! The excellent meal was topped off with a lovely and delightful server, Sierra. She was fabulous ! This is NOT a place that you want to miss; go where the locals go and enjoy a wonderful meal ! read more

Awesome, I mean if u like great food and good service I would recommend, sweet Thang dessert ,will make u lose your mind lol

Fish River Grill is our "go to" restaurant if we have out of town company. The food is excellent and the prices r respectable. I tried the soft shelled crab Bloody Mary and it was amazing. I'd never had a fried soft shell crab before but I will be adding them to things that I eat. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, even on busy nights. I would recommend this restaurant and don't forget to try the Swamp Soup. read more

We have eaten here several times and at their other locations as well. Their swamp soup is fabulous. I could have that as a meal for sure. The swamp burger is a masterpiece! If I had to choose only one burger to eat the rest of my life, this is one to consider long and hard. My wife and I are both burger fans. Not those ostentatious gourmet progressive burgers. We like meaty, juicy delicious cheeseburger in paradise type burgers. This is it. And if you are going to drink a bloody mary, you will wish you came here for it. read more

My wife picked this great restaurant heading back home. From the complimentary swamp soup to our entrees and side baskets, EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME. read more

Up until I bit into my sandwich, the experience wasn't bad. Server was very polite and attentive. The swamp soup was also tasty. Now for the rough part. Something on my Poboy was rancid. I suspect the tomato's were to blame. My first bite tasted like old moldy mop water. That's the best way I know to describe it. I immediately spit the bite back out and had to go to the restroom to empty the contents on my stomach. I've never had such an abrupt reaction to eating something. Now, for the worst part. I took one bite of my entree and it was clearly spit back out. I sent it back and told the server I didn't want another because by now, my stomach was in knots. They did NOT take it off my bill. They gave me a $3.00 discount on my uneaten, rancid meal. I've worked in food service in my past and I understand that things happen. I have no issue with that. If they'd have just taken it off my bill and used a little common sense, I wouldn't be leaving this review. To sum this up, if they'd have just apologized and took it off the bill, all would have been well. read more
