Gorgeous location. Make sure to sit outside on the deck over the water. Shrimp was excellent... tried fried, blackened and grilled. Friendly, efficient staff. A great stop while in town. read more

Stanfield's River Bottom Grill - View from the deck seating - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Alabama

Causal dining in the water. Good was excellent!! Had butterfly shrimp, baked potato, and corn. Great taste.

Went there during a summer evening once last year, food was burnt to hell and back and it took over an hour to get any of our food.

I love the Boiler meal. It's my standard and it's filling, as it should be at almost $30 per pop! The crab claws, shrimp and smoked sausage are fabulous. They throw in boiled potatoes and corn-on-the-cob and little ramekin of Cole slaw to finish the meal. Good eating and friendly service! I love sitting out on the deck when it's cool enough and looking out over the over at the boaters while enjoying a meal won't a glass of iced tea. read more

I haven't even sat down, but I can tell you the staff here is some of the hardest workers I have seen in a long time in a restaurant. Not one employee has complained, or stopped, or stood around once. Well trained staff. Looking forward to the food. read more

A must stop! Again.!! Had the River Bottom burger and it was absolutely perfect! So damn good. However- Lauren at the upstairs bar made everything perfect. Her attitude and service attentiveness was 110% at all times. When someone loves their job it makes a difference for the Customers. Lauren is the server you always want when you're eating/drinking out. Great job!!! read more

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

They open at 11.00 am we arrived at 11.50 am told to wait 30 40 min we said ok not even 2 minutes we were escorted up stairs. To sit next to filthy windows this place NEEDS a up date from the bathrooms to the stairs it is a total old dirty mess. As far as the food I had shrimp squires that comes with 1 side perfect a baked potato. I chose to add a side salad for $3.00 no problem. When I receive my bill they charge me for a salad and a baked potato. When I brought it up to our waitress she said to me you ate them both. Yes I ordered them and ate them. But I also read the menu. My meal came with 1 side. So I should not be charged for both. Then the manager came and said this is how we do it here you were charged correct. I asked if they could please read the menu. So check your bill before leaving. Not to return. read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp and was pleasantly surprised. Service was friendly and attentive. Great view of the river. We started with Shrimp Cocktail that was delicious and loaded with shrimp. Mahi was delicious and well prepared. Came back for lunch and Salmon was seasoned perfectly and just well prepared. Table close by had the burger that looked succulent. Will definitely return when back in the area. read more

Eat outside on the upper deck for the best view in North Alabama. We ate there yesterday for lunch and it was delicious. They have an excellent luncheon menu which includes various main dishes and one side item and drink for $12. I had grilled chicken fingers and dill potatoe salad with tea. Service was fast and it's always fun to watch the boats on the Tennessee river. It's a view and food that I never get tired of. read more

We were celebrating my wife's Birthday and I called early to reserve a table. We even showed up early and it still took over an hour to get a table. Then to find out our table had been ready for 15 minutes and no one called or let us know. My son received a text 30 minutes into meal our table was ready. I had brought a birthday cake and they placed it in the refrigerator for us. The lady downstairs took our order and it took forever to get our drinks and it was very confusing and a mess. We did not get enough silverware and they ran out of forks! The appetizer was good however the salad was not cut small and without a knife to cut could not eat salad! Tomato was almost green, I had to get potato salad and it was over seasoned. Our nephews ordered a seafood boil and it took over an hour and everyone else was finished. We were there for over an hour and a half when the waitress brought our checks and forgetting about my wife's birthday. Forgot about our cake in the refrigerator. I asked her, could we at least have our cake back? This is probably the worst experience I have ever had in the shoals. But I not only blame the waitresses but management. How can a restaurant run out of potato's, forks, knives? I will not be returning to the river bottom grille and I encourage everyone else to boycott until they get new management. Furthermore it was my father in law first time, his steak was dry and he had the same over seasoned potato salad and was not happy. It's a shame that a good restaurant like Stanfield has a sister restaurant so miss managed. Oh yes no hush puppies! I will give this restaurant a bottom, I guess that's why they call it the river bottom! Oh yea forgot about having to eat our appetizer on the table, no napkins and definitely not a small plate. I going to try and forget about this experience but it is difficult. read more

We were vacationing in the area and decided to go to River Bottom Grill. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but, to me, the best thing about this restaurant is the location. In a large marina; It is reminiscent of a place one might find on the coast. The atmosphere inside was OK. The food, for me, was just mediocre. I had the fish and chips with fried shrimp add-on. The fish seemed frozen. I don't even know what kind they were. I had assumed cod, but I think it was probably tilapia. The shrimp were just OK. The fries were, you know, fries, good but nothing special. The coleslaw was a mess, drenched in a mayo swamp floating around on the plate; it was bland and tasteless. My brother ordered a grilled fish. He asked the waitress what kind it was, and she said tilapia. The restaurant isn't wildly expensive, but it is more than double what one would pay at Capt D's for a better meal. I was very disappointed.. read more

Excellent,Excellence and Excellent! The service was very friendly and quick to get us seated. The prices were great for the size of portions. The appetizers were great. We got fried mushrooms and Buffalo wings. We order the blackened Maui fish and it was excellent. All food arrived quickly and very hot! This place over all was a great experience. I highly recommend this place . A+++ read more

This restaurant is in the marina, so you can arrive by your boat for a meal. It will be worth it. The restaurant is on the second floor with both inside and outside dining. Our service was quick and courteous. We had the in-house BBQ plate which was well done with a good smoked flavor. The shrimp skewer was very good, too. We got in early on a weekend evening and missed the rush. We'll be back! read more

Had the Fish n chips lunch. Fish was perfect. Could have used a bit more fish, less fries. Cole slaw was a tiny amount. That said, it was good quality and service was good. read more

Great seafood options as well as a good in general. The view from the balcony is awesome. Lots of seating choices down stairs upstaires the bar which has good drinks. Great wait staff. I get the shrimp plate and it is awesome. Very high standards read more

Loved everything about this place. From the decor to the service which was friendly and helpful. My party ordered the boiler pot, burgers, and several appetizers. Everything was fresh and delicious! I will definitely be back again soon. read more

the waitresses are so friendly , helpful great food really reasonable price and the view of the lac and the bridge I recommend #brigitteroadtripUS read more

Dined for lunch and ordered off of the lunch menu. Fish and chips were advertised to have one side, of which I selected slaw. When my plate arrived, there were four small pieces of fish and two sides of slaw. Asking where the 'chips' are, the waitress told me that I ordered slaw 'in place of the chips'. No such thing - and no offer to correct. Overpriced and false information on the menu. read more

Love to take a trip on our boat to this marina from Pickwick! We tie up our boat on their dock and go in for one of the best burgers around. We have gotten the blues burger, pimento burger, brisket burger, ribeye flat, buffalo ranch flat (my husband's personal favorite), strawberry vinaigrette salad with chicken, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, fish and chips, fried pickles and crab and shrimp dip. Everyone we have taken here loves this place. We haven't had anything that isn't really yummy. I enjoy the atmosphere and the wait staff is super friendly. I Can't wait to go back and try something new. I've been told the mahi-mahi needs to be the next thing I try. read more

Really good food. Generous portions. Not high prices. Good service. Pretty view. Will go back!

I love the hot wings and fried mushrooms! I had a few of the grilled shrimp, and they were great as well. Location is nice and sitting outside on a warm sunny day is fabulous. I recommend Yelp to get in quickly. read more

The salad bar is fresh. The service is always friendly. The menu holds a wide variety. The restaurant has an open airy fill. There is an on site bakery case! read more

Food was half decent but not the great menu of a real Stanfield's. They should drop the Stanfield's from their name so as not to disappoint those who might expect the same quality and menu. It seems to be more of a dive bar and grill. I won't be back. There are far too many better options unless you just want to look at the marina. read more

Amazing seafood! The mahi mahi was so fresh and delicious! The crab dip was so good! All 6 of us loved all the food. The service was also amazing. Great place! read more

Great service & Great food on the river. From fish to shrimp to 4 different appetizers, everything was awesome.

The food is good and always fresh. My favorite is the fried shrimp. 4 stars due to normally having to wait a long time (a good sign the food is good). I always enjoy walking on the deck or sitting by the river while we wait. Also, the inside of the restaurant always smells fishy to me. Maybe because there is a hole in the floor that goes straight to the river? Either way, it hasn't stopped me from eating there. read more

Maybe the best burger of my life - the brisket burger with bacon piled on top and corn on the cob on the side - sheer goodness. Nice location in the Florence marina with a view out over the boats launching at the park, and boats coming and going to the marina. Waitstaff was attentive and food was very reasonably priced. Tip - sit outside. read more

Awesome food and a unique setting. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We had fried dill pickles, hush puppies, fried mushrooms for apps. My husband had the brisket burger and I had the blackened fish flat. Everything was hot and tasty. read more

Excellent food and service with a beautiful view! The daily lunch specials are reasonable with just the rite amount of food.

A nice place on the river. Service was great and the food was wonderful. For me there was no waiting. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and helpful. I will be going back. read more

We came on a Friday night around 7:30 pm and were told it would be an hour and a half wait. The place was super busy and we had no issues about the wait. There are sidewalks, swing benches, and even a kids park right nearby so the wait flew by. The views are beautiful. Our server Foster was really friendly and attentive even with how busy it was. We got the blackened fish and shrimp flat and they were delicious. We will definitely be back for lunch so we can try and sit outside and try some other items on the menu. read more

I absolutely love having lunch or dinner on the water and I'm glad I discovered this place while traveling down the Natchez Trace. We pulled into Stanfield's around lunch time and was lucky to get a seat outside to watch all the boats in the marina. I ordered buffalo corkscrew shrimp and cheese fries and the food was excellent. The beer was cold and the view was perfect. I enjoyed stopping in and hanging out on the water for lunch and hope I get an opportunity to go back. read more
