Home of the untossable salad! Get your mind out of the gutter, but the salad had a lot of stuff in it, and the bowl was just too small. It was a good, fresh salad but was difficult to eat. But the main reason you go to a restaurant on the river is shrimp, right? Who doesn't love shrimp right out of the river? I don't know if that's even a thing, but I was in the mood for shrimp and I thought I'd turn pink like a flamingo from the amount of shrimp I started with the Shrimp Cocktail which was a generous portion of shrimp expertly placed on the rim of a cocktail glass. The Shrimp Happens was a hodgepodge of fried and grilled shrimp and it was also amazing, although a bit too much fried for me. The atmosphere was a bit on the dirty hole in the wall side. And like most people, I love a good hole-in-the-wall, but the food has to back it up. The food was good, but not outstanding to call it a hole in the wall. I also love the Fire Exit! read more

We are traveling through and found this spot on a good eats list. We arrived at 5pm and did not have to wait for seating. The fish plates were excellent and our server was attentive. read more

Excellent food. We ordered a variety and all were pleased. I loved the island chicken (grilled chicken, with pineapple, and my baked potato. Fantastic service. They were hopping, but they got food out quickly, drinks refilled. Fun, somewhat noisy, dockside bar. A little dimly lit, but well done. Not too dark. Worth the visit. read more

Drinks, salad bar, dessert - yes to all! Entrees were amazing too! We have had great food and service every time we have been.

Everything was delicious. Prices were ridiculous though. My ribeye was prepared to order. The potato was fresh baked also.

My son and my daughter and I went to this restaurant Yesterday, and let me tell you this was one of the best restaurants in north alabama, the staff was very friendly and the food was excellent and the atmosphere was beautiful. I would give him five stars because they earned it. Thank you, if you're ever in the florence alabama area, you must visit this restaurant. read more

Service was great, super nice waitress. Stopped through on a trip, food was wonderful. Nice casual marina restaurant.

Good food, service, and ambiance. Cool spot. Sitting on the water is cool. Would recommend. Can't wait to go back.

This was our first time and we were in town for a little while and decided to go here because it appeared to be a well known spot. We were a family of 5. Our wait was 45 mins which was reasonable. We were seated downstairs; it was extremely hot inside. Not sure if they are having issues with air, but very uncomfortable. Our waiter was sweet and did her best in the circumstances. There was a large party behind us with around 7 small kids all seating behind our table. They were throwing crab claw shells and food as well as screaming to the top of their lungs. The kids were even flipping out of their chairs. It was ridiculous. We decided we chose the wrong place for dinner. We were hot and annoyed. My husband gave me money for the food and literally walked out. My father in law, myself and the kids ate our food and just left after we paid. Despite the horrible air situation and unruly kids behind us, we made sure to tip our waitress. She was the only positive experience. The food was mediocre. read more

Don't go here if you're in a hurry. 2 hour wait at 6p. Food was fine but under seasoned. The shrimp flat that was recommended by our server tasted like a grilled cheese with some shrimp on it. Too many other places downtown so we wouldn't rush back. read more

Excellent Rib Eye Steak Sandwhich. Amazing Salad Bar. Good Service. They were able to accommodate a large group.

Wouldn't go unless you got 4 hours to kill, they told us the wait was fifteen minutes, we have been waiting for almost 2 hours. I think they seat you by throwing your name in a hat drawing it randomly read more

I had the blackened mahi-mahi and the one side were fries. In my opinion the fries hit the plate the same time the fish does. But I can't say that actually happened. As the fish was cold but not as much as the fries were. One small bite of a French fry and I knew the fish was gonna be cold too. You know how I knew the waitress knew it was cold not once did she come and ask how everything was, she knew how it was. The fish was on one tablespoon of dirty rice and the rest of the plate was French fries. One look at our plates any wait staff would've been able to tell something was wrong. I had enough fries on my plate to feed three people at least and as cold as could be. The cook should be embarrassed and the waitress should've been apologetic. Neither I'm sure were. Horrible tasteless food.. I will never ever go back... read more

Fried gator was pretty decent with that cheese on it but could have used some more seasoning in the batter. My wings were perfect. The fried oysters we nice too. Over all, a fun little place with great service. read more

Great food, service and prices. Nice salad bar. It gets crowded and noisy on the weekends but not bad. Great for families and groups.

Great place to grab a bite of lunch while visiting the local famous recording studios. We had a great hamburger and the service was phenomenal. Weather was beautiful so we sat outside. Nice views of the water and the color changes in the trees for October were beautiful. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got the opportunity. The restaurant is located on the river so it does provide some ambience and scenery. There is both indoors and outdoors dining, I sat at the inside bar for dinner. They have a full bar, craft beer selections are very limited as they are mostly serving cheap, domestic swill. I asked the bartender what entrée was one of the more popular and she said that the burgers were great and that "Shrimp Happens" was also popular. I ordered the Shrimp Happens and it was fine, but basically a fried shrimp basket with one grilled shrimp skewer. Also comes with two hush puppies, which were chalk dry and tasteless, and thimble of coleslaw. The coleslaw was pretty good for the two bites that was served. I also ordered a side of their potato salad, this was good but a little overly seasoned. I got a slice to-go of the recommended Keylime pie. When I had it later in the evening, mush to my disappointment, it was absolutely horrible! It had the consistency of and tasted like a softened brick of cream cheese. It was downright terrible and after two bites I threw it away. Hopefully this was just a bad batch because I don't know how they could sell one slice of this. They were well-staffed and service was good. I may give it another chance with a burger sometime, but overall this was simply a "meh" experience. read more

We got the pimento burger and I didn't have any pimento on my half of sandwich. The burgers was frozen, not fresh patties and it was over cooked the french fries were bag not fresh. The shrimp crab dip was excellent. The pineapple upside down cake was extremely small. The waitress was overworkeddo many customers so few staff. My waitress was very friendly and sweet. The place is obviously very old. It doesn't look like they done any updates to the place in years. We will probably never go back. read more

Stanfield's River Bottom Grill - Sign - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Alabama

I had the shrimp flat and my husband had the buffalo ranch flat. Both of ours were ok. Oh, but I do have to say the potato salad was really really good! Mine was just ok. Service was amazing, the girls were always checking on us. The location was great, right on the marina. You can never go bad when you are on the water, but I do wish the food was a little better. Great location as far as town wise as well. read more

Ambiance and view of this place is amazing. It is right on the water. There is deck seating which would be amazing in good weather. Staff are really good. Food is mediocre and a step above bar food. I did have alligator tail which was really good and great experience. read more

Good food but apparently understaffed at 4 on a Saturday afternoon. 45 minute wait plus long delays we believe was due to our waitress handling our eight people in addition to a rugby team. Basic seating. Next to water. Ramp to restaurant might be an issue pushing a wheelchair back up. read more

The dinning experience was really awful. Slow service, cold food, took forever to get utensils, blackened seasoning just taste like way to much salt. Corn on the Cobb was cooked until the kernels were swiveling. Out of our table of seven only one person said their food was ok but the rest agreed theirs was really terrible. Then, we were charged 18% gratuity for the experience. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Florence! The ambiance and the food are amazing! If the weather is good, you have to sit outside and watch the boats come and go! read more

We went back at the first of the summer and was very disappointed. First of all, they are not Stanfield's anymore and haven't been for the last almost 3 years now. The service was good but the food was not what it used to be. Haven't been back since and usually go there several times when it is open during season. The crab and shrimp dip used to be our favorite and it is terrible now. Too many jalapeños...and I generally love jalapeños. The rest was just okay. read more

One of the worse restaurants I have eaten in in years. Poor service & poor quality food. When the server came over, she asked if we wanted hush puppies. She didn't say, can I get you an appetizer. In TN, many restaurants bring a few hush puppies on the house. Not here. We paid for mediocre, over cooked hush puppies $8. My husband's fried shrimp was overcooked as well. I ordered grilled salmon. The fish was passable on clumpy rice. We had to hail down a waitress to get any attention. Not worth the money! read more

Super good! I would recommend calling ahead or being prepared to wait. Staff were super nice didn't meat a mean person there! The shrimp boil was super great! read more

This is a great local dive bar. It is obvious that the locals are regulars. Staff is very friendly. They know their customers by name. Food was amazing. You won't leave hungry. Didn't try the house drink, but several people around did and it looked good. Definitely worth going here to eat. read more

Few things first,we was a party of 5 with baby,so six... on a sat. (For lunch)And we waited for an hour .. was worth the wait .. all 5 of us loved our meals.. the appetizers (3)) were delicious (pickles, crab dip & hush puppies) . Service was a tick above average.. waited a few times for soda refills and salad came with no dressing. Then when it did,Ranch was a bit watery .. but we tipped well .. they were busy as heck. read more

Stanfield's River Bottom Grill - Bomb brisket on flat with bacon !!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Alabama

The fact that the wait on a table is 30 minutes and then the wait on food being an hour is asburd.

I love coming to this place when I'm back home in the Shoals. The food is always solid and the location on the Tennessee River is just one of my most favorite places ever. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered there through the years! The servers are always very helpful and have great attitudes. read more

Went with friends a few years ago and it was, most certainly, borderline perfect! Ambiance /was/ perfect. As was our service experience, too! The food, though? Totally deserving of a *chefs kiss*, no lie. At all. read more

We had a one trip salad bar and spaghetti with meatballs. The salad bar was outstanding but a very small plate for a salad bar with all the options on the bar. The spaghetti and meatballs were ok but nothing spectacular. Service was excellent beautiful restaurant. read more

This is a really cool restaurant. We waited just over an hour to get in on a Friday night, and it was worth the wait. Since we arrived just after 6 I think that is normal for a good restaurant, and there is a nice park and marina to walk around and explore while you wait. They have a nice bar area, with a decent selection of draft beer, including some from the local brewery. We got the Alligator Tail appetizer, which was good. My wife got the Island Chicken and I ordered the Shrimp Happens with several different styles of shrimp. Both were excellent and we really enjoyed it. I think we'll come back if we are in the area again. read more

Service was descent, wasn't a fan of the other guests who cursed a lot. Food was great and enjoyed eating by the river

Really good food. Packed on Saturday night but space at the bar to eat. Had the boil with shrimp, crab, sausage, potatoes and corn. More than I could eat. Wife had a filet and shrimp. She said the steak was delicious. Lady bartender provided great service. read more

This is NOT a pet friendly site. When we got there the manager said, they're allowed on the premises but we can't serve you. One has to walk through the kitchen areas to get to the restroom. After that, I was glad we were not going to be eating there! read more

The food was good and the service was good. Good atmosphere. The food is always good when I visit.

Food is made fresh and is normally pretty good. Atmosphere is fun with the ability to sit on the deck overlooking the river. Live music is good. The burger or the mahi is always good. read more

We are visiting the area and wanted to eat some seafood. This is a great area to visit it is right on the water.

I wound come back again read more
