YUM!! Seafood here is good! IMO Everything here was good. Awesome outside view of the river! Great service too! Fast & Tasty!

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

food was good, not outstanding, service was good, not real friendly though. time for the check, I pay cash, I don't pay service fees, and what happens, I get short changed. this rounding up BS is great for the wait staff, it doesn't matter the amount, are you lazy? padding your tips? since we were with a large group they added the 18% otherwise the waitress would have seen a LOT less tip. the river bottom will see a LOT less of me. read more

I enjoyed the food here. It was great and the staff provided great service. Dining on the water is an interesting sensation due to the waves. read more

I got the grilled fish and it was overcooked for the way I like it but, my husband's fried fish was great and I will be getting that next time! Wait staff was busy, but very nice and attentive, view was great! I would definitely go back, but I would get something different to eat. read more

We went by here after the muscle shoals sound studio tour because j was hoping to have a beautiful view of the Tennessee river, get an app and a vino. It was a beautiful day and we sat at the upstairs bar. Friend had an individual prosecco and OJ and an app., Or maybe we each had a shrimp skewer and a veggie. The view was unrrmarkbale. friends prosecco was obviously fresh (it's a one serving size). I ordered a Pinot grigo that suffered from O2 exposure. It was terrible. When I told the bartender she happily took it off my bill and I got a nice prosecco. We walked around to try and determine if it was an actual boat that was docked or what. Walked thru the breezeway of the downstairs kitchen to use the restroom prior to exploring outside and it just felt and smelled dirty. As in bad fish smell dirty with some duck decoys in water by the kitchen. Weird. Suggest getting a beer if you find yourself here. I won't bother coming back. read more

Great location and atmosphere. The food is always food and service is always friendly. We love having dinner outside there's just not many tables so Makes the wait super long on busy nights. They have some great appetizers. read more

Friendly staff, excellent variety/quality, and a killer salad bar. Reasonably priced and lots of options.

The River Bottom Grille is a casual dining spot on the Tennesse River. The menu offered a variety of choices. I got the butterfly shrimp with Hawaiian Cole Slaw. My husband got the fish and chips with corn on the cob. We ordered the alligator bites as an appetizer. It came with two ranch like sauces. It was good. I got a white sangria. It was a generous size and tasted good. L My dish was delicious. The batter was light and it was cooked just right. My husband thought the fish tasted good. When my husband asked the waitress whether the fish and chips came with fries or chips, she said fries. For the additional one side the entree allowed, he ordered the corn on the cob. The meals came out in a reasonable time but my husband's "chips" were missing. When we asked about it, the waitress explained that since he asked for corn, it took the place of the fries!????? So bottom line is the entree was really fish and not fish and chips. To finish up, we ordered the blueberry crisp with ice cream. The crisp was warm and the ice cream gave it a nice balance, highly recommend. Prices are reasonable here. read more

We were on a 35 day camping trip in the southeastern states and stayed at the nearby McFarland Park and were told by locals to check out the restaurant. All of our food was good: loaded fries, beer battered chicken tenders, pimento cheese bacon cheeseburger. We would recommend this place. It floats on the water and the kids can feed the fish from the porch. Be careful though, the rope railing isn't that secure. There is outdoor seating on the upstairs patio that overlooks the marina and Tennessee River. read more

Indoor and outdoor seating available. Located at the Florence Marina, the menu is small but most choices are prepared well. The view of the river and marina are worth the trip. Restaurant is open spring through late fall, so check hours before you go. read more

Stanfield's is a Gem at the marina. If you go during the week, you may be able to walk in and have a table without a wait. Their food was very good. We had an appetizer, salads, entrees, and a beverage, and the price was very good. Try to eat outside, next to the water. read more

they told us we were going to have a 45 minute wait and didn't seat us until TWO HOURS LATER... when they finally sat us, it took them 15 minutes to take our drink order. read more

Great atmosphere. Great views of the river. Food was really good. Service was really good also.

Great place to park your boat and eat. We got there just before noon and were seated right away. By the time we finished eating the place was packed and they had several people waiting. Our group of ten people all ordered something different and no one was unhappy with their food. The staff was friendly and on top of their game. Nobody waited long for anything. My wife and I both had burgers and they were excellent. Well recommended. read more

Visited this place last weekend to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. We had a pretty large group and everyone ordered a variety of different things. I'm going to only review what I specifically ordered for this review. I ordered the crab legs special. Which came with corn, sausage, crab legs and shrimp. While the variety of items was just what I wanted, the lack of flavor was very disappointing. I could not believe that NOTHING had flavor. I ended up requesting some ol bay to sprinkle over EVERYTHING. The ambiance and service was great, but I will never get crab legs from there again. read more

It's always hit or miss. So far, after 4 visits, the best time is lunch on the deck in the late fall. Inside is way loud and just as hot in the summer as sitting outside. 2022 the wait is an hour, but you can walk around outside if you have text capabilities on your phone. The food is good if you like fried fish and sandwiches with fries. read more

A...MAZ...ING... went to River Bottom Grill with the family and the food was Fantastic. We started off with the Alligator tail and it was delicious. For my meal I was a little unsure about ordering a Flat but chose to try one anyway. I ended up with the Smoked Brisket...The flavor and the heat perfect. Two people in our party split a Boiler and they were VERY happy with their selection. Yet another had the Shrimp Happens and I was able to sample a few. They were also Delicious! We will be back HERE!!! SO GOOD! read more

We went for seafood and it was nice on the inside. It's sits on water. We got fried oysters and they was very good.

The BEST fried mushrooms from anywhere I have ever eaten!! I travel for business and love fried mushrooms.

Food is great. The service is good most of the time but the wait can be long if you get there after about 4:30

This is my favorite place to eat everything is always perfect , everyone is always nice and respectful to one another . Out of all the restaurants in the shoals area this one is #1 stanfields up the road is #2 ... I'd give more stars if I could I'd give them stars read more

In general the food was pretty good, but the air conditioner wasn't working, and the hush puppies absolutely sucked! No flavor what so ever. They should be embarrassed to serve hush puppies this bad in the south. Generally the place needed a good cleaning, don't think the health department has been here. read more

Do not order fried oysters! I was there 11/4/23 and got the oysters. Had bad food poisoning which kept me down for two days. I learned the next day that two others at the marina got sick from the fried oysters as well. read more

They don't have reservations and don't handle large parties well at all. The food is okay but not the best. The prices are rather high for what you get and the server we had was great. The waiting area is tiny and we had to wait outside with small children and my 80 year old mother in law. We were told it would be an hour to an hour and a half to be seated. They sat people who came in after us and made us wait the entire hour and a half. We drove an hour to get there and the experience wasn't that good. We won't go back. read more

It's kinda cool on the water. Food was good. Waitress could've been nicer and more attentive. We were a table of 4 with apps and she never cleared the table. Didn't drop our check etc. was ok. I guess I expected more. My fault. read more

In town for a family wedding and did some exploring. We love local places and this one has good reviews. Even though we thought we were dropping in at an "off peak" time, it was very busy!! Service was a bit slow and by the time we returned to hotel we were running quite late and were almost late to the wedding!! FYI The burgers are all double deckers! I had to remove a patty to be able to eat it. Just make sure you have enough time if you pick this place. read more

The food, the service, the atmosphere certainly didn't disappoint. Yelp app worked well for on joining the wait list. It's "Stanfield's" of course we will be back... Bryan and LoriAnn Sherrill read more
