You know when you walk into a place thinking the decor is tacky and the menu is xeroxed on yellow printing paper in a plastic report holder, that it can't possibly be good? Well that was me and boy was I wrong! The first page is of the popular and famous food choices including the OMG Shrimp Po'boy and Crawfish Torpedoes. Today's special was a crab and shrimp gumbo too and I am a sucker for southern Cajun food. SO I got a cup of the gumbo and the OMG banging shrimp po'boy. My soup came it first and it didn't look like much, but it was soooo flavorful. You wouldn't think that fried battered shrimp on a roll can taste this good too but dang!!! The sauce elevated it for sure! My entree also came with the swamp soup and fries. Both was delicious as well - I'm drooling just thinking about it. What diet? Out the window :P read more

Wow this was a surprise but a good one. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Got in and out in good time. Just a short wait at lunch but worth it. read more

Great food and atmosphere. We love the fried fish (especially the strips versus the fillers). They also have the best burgers. Come hungry.

Okay so this restaurant was recommended by a local. I always ask people in businesses I frequent for the best places to eat. This was one of two. It did not disappoint. I had the grilled white fish with crawfish sauce. It was amazing. Huge portion. One person in our group had the grouper which was special for the day and couldn't eat it all.I also had a sample of the swamp soup which sounds strange but is really amazing everyone at the table loved it, even the teenagers. My friends are in an archery tournament every year, this will be a place that they not only return to but will probably brag about. And for dessert we had the sweet thang beignet. It had apple and peach filling. The service was fast and friendly, the food came quickly and was excellent. The ambience was down home, locals eat there you know it's good read more

We went for lunch. Our server was friendly and attentive . There was a feeling of confusion with the cashier and with a male worker neither seemed "present". When checking us out they both were unfriendly and rushing us. I brought my Mama to be with her Camping group for the first time since my Daddy passed away 10 months ago. They all range in age from 75 to 90. Could have been a bit more pleasant to them and not herded us out. The food was Great! read more

Food & service were wonderful. Their checkout process was a little slow. Had to pay at front, which isn't an issue, but it was a good 5 minutes before the ONE person who could take my payment returned. Then, he took a phone order prior to taking my payment. read more

Fried oysters, shrimp and swamp soup were great. Po boys were well received by normally finicky daughters.

Great local place to grab some seafood favorites or try there burger which is surprisingly good for a seafood restaurant. Friendly atmosphere and priced reasonably. Worth a stop in! read more

Seemed like a good local place to go to. Stew was flavorful and different, even my daughter loved it! Had the special pistol (basically seafood hot pocket). Overall was good and had pieces of seafood in it. Had to return the first one I received because it wasn't hot. Hush puppies were very good and flavorful! Had a piece of the wife's burger and was good and tasty as well! The atmosphere was full of locals and was a little too warm inside. Overall good experience! read more

Great place for seafood. Swamp soup was great and different from anything I have had. I had fried fish and hubby had shrimp. We will go back. The fish was flounder I think with fries slaw hush puppies okra. It will fill you up. Fried Shrimp looked great. No complaints from us. read more

You had me at the Swamp Soup! It's delicious as well as the other entrees we ordered. The staff was very friendly and the service was on point. Would highly recommend Fish River Grill! read more

Our first time here, everything was fantastic. We were a little unsure at the beginning because there was a delay in greetings and the waitress came across as rude. But it was clear after we were seated that it was only a rush. She was amazing after seating us. The swamp soup was a really great surprise. Overall, we will definitely return when we are in town. read more

I always ask my fam what was their favorite place we ate while on vacation and this little hole in the wall won over every other place.

This place was absolutely amazing and more than I expected. The food was so flavorful and they gave you so much that we had lots of leftovers. I will be going back again soon. We took my dad for Father's Day and was not disappointed. read more

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

Always great. The service is fantastic and the food never disappoints. The fried seafood is lightly battered and never over cooked. The "swamp soup" is fun and I truly love it. I even had the Rueben last time and it was surprisingly good. read more

Food always good. Fried white fish my favorite. The best I ever had and always fresh and hot.

Horrible service, rude staff, don't even have a bartender. Dont know why the staff thinks it's even acceptable to sit in one of the booths on the main floor while restaurant is busy! Food is decent, don't waste your time. read more

Always good food and excellent service. Never had to wait on a table cuz we like sitting at the bar!

Everything is great on the menu. the only thing missing is a waterfront view. perhaps bring a bucket of salt water and look over it and it'll be perfect. try the patty melt. and of course the swamp soup...love this place! read more

We ate. there a couple weeks ago and a child's chicken finger was 15.00 I was floored and the waitress seemed a little side tracked with her phone and had to find another waitress to get us some ranch and a refill. We eat there a good bit but this time was not the best experience!! read more

Good Food that locals support even in the off seasons!! Love the Swamp soup! It is good food at good prices!!

I always love stopping and eating here. Today, I walked in and waddled out! Swamp Soup, Grilled White Fish with a Crawfish Sauce; Slaw, Fried Okra, Fries and Hushpuppies. Yum Yum! And a new TShirt to support the Redneck Margarita! read more

They were respecting social distancing when seating us however non of the employees were wearing masks. I was ok with that. Service was good, items priced good. Portions were big and food came out fast. read more

It's a local place with a couple of locations. Drove in from NOLA for a day and stopped here.

After visiting the area over the past six summers, we finally made our way in. We ordered the cheeseburger and 6 fried shrimp. After the waitress took our order she said, "I'll be back with your swamp soup!" We glanced at one another and I said, "the should be interesting." To which, my husband agreed. Well, the soup was delicious. A must try if you stop in. The cheeseburger was wonderful. The fried shrimp and hush puppies were delicious. Great food. Great service. And at the end she brought us cake!!!! This place is a must on anyone visiting the area. read more

Best food! Best service! Ambiance could use a little work but we didn't even care because we enjoyed our experience so much! I would 10/10 recommend for everyone to go! We got burgers, gator bites, fried green tomatoes, po boys, shrimp platters, and more. ALL of them were amazing!!! The only thing we didn't love was the swamp stew. But the best part of our whole experience was our server. She was absolutely AWESOME!!! Fun, spunky, tons of recommendations, very personable, and was perfectly attentive. read more

I had a bloody mary while waiting on my to-go order ! The fish were delicious, tarter sauce the best, fried okra and hush puppies out of this world! Angila at the bar is very efficient and friendly! The bar area is a great place to watch a football game too! read more

Food is good and get bigger portions then other places. Staff is friendly. Great family oriented restaurant.

I ordered the OMG shrimp poboy and while the fried shrimp were very good and the crawfish sauce was excellent, it was served on a hot dog bun. As a NOLA native, they simply should have taken the extra step and used authentic NOLA French bread. Several restaurants and grocery stores in Gulf Shore offer it. Hot dog buns simple break apart. Nothing, and I mean nothing is a PoBoy unless you use real NOLA French bread. I'll go back and try another dish as the food was good. Come on FRG, do the right thing and stop calling a sandwich on a hot dog bun a poboy. read more

Great place!! We went after our game and everyone was able to sit, while still respecting social distancing and in record time, all 9 families. Great customer service and great tasting food. Thank you from Texas Odyssey 12u -Houston, Texas! Teresa, you and your staff were awesome!! We will surely be back!! read more

Enjoyed our food, but server very young and needs more training. Did not know the menu. Decent prices, but not as good as we had hoped. read more

The restaurant is a little strip mall joint but the food and service were EXCELLENT and super fast. Fried green tomato appetizer was great. Grilled fish was tasty. All of the fried food was just superb--hot and very flavorful. Swamp soup was good too. If we are back in the area, we will be stopping back here! YUM. read more

We were shopping in Foley, and decided to eat a late lunch. We were in the mood for seafood, and we wish we would have gone somewhere else. It wasn't bad, but we've had much better. The shrimp was not fresh Gulf shrimp. It clearly had a frozen taste. The alligator was ok. The service was prompt and our waitress was helpful. But the atmosphere and prices didn't match! It was dark, not very clean (bathrooms were pretty awful), or welcoming, and it looks very dingy. For a late lunch, our bill was pretty high. If I am going to spend nearly $80 on lunch, I would like to have a better view with clean surroundings. We stopped there due to the good reviews. It just wasn't that great. read more

It's ok good food. Place might need updating though. Most are pretty old. Hamburgers are the best!

I absolutely love seafood and gumbo and Fish River Grill has the some of the best I've ever eaten. My dad was a shrimper and a crabber so fresh seafood is important to me. They now have GUMBO and I was wishing I ordered a larger bowl after eating it. The fish was cooked to perfection and the shrimp too. Amber, our waitress, was friendly and attentive. We will be back for more swamp soup too ! read more

The swamp soup was a sneaky surprise! We ordered cheeseburgers and they were huge! My go-to place for burgers!!

Food is adequate, portions are minimal. Essentially no taste with grilled shrimp and fried oysters. Unidentified white fish was salty. Ambiance was nonexistent with uncomfortable booth benches. Service at the table was minimal but friendly, and the "pay at the front" girl was MIA for 15 minutes and then acted as if we were inconveniencing her. Even if we lived in the area we would not return. There are too many other choices. read more
