We loved Randolph's On The River. It was clean and nice with a wonderful view, nice people, and…read moregood food. Yesterday was different. Sadly, very different. Randolph's is expensive. It is a seafood restaurant and we expect to pay more for good, fresh seafood. We cannot do that often and it had been a year since we had been there. Our experience yesterday was so disappointing, I doubt we will be back. First, little things: there was no beer on tap, the cold cases were not labeled correctly with dessert names holding wine and other unknown items. The sign outside with the name of the restaurant is long past time to be refreshed. It was barely readable. The number of tables had been reduced and there were pieces of tables outside and in the dining room. It appeared that there was only one person in the kitchen and the TV blared some "reality" show instead of music playing. It still was cute and clean but it felt like something that was nearly ready for the final lap. Second, the food: the pictures shown here are "before" pictures. The crab cake sandwich, for example, was the cheapest crab meat you can buy (yes, bordering on "goo") breaded and fried. It had more binder than crab. Unlike the pictures, you could not see pieces of crab and you could not taste crab. Let me recap in order. We ordered steamed spicy shrimp. They came out and looked great. Something was wrong. I've never needed so much effort to peel a shrimp. Husband used a fork to split the shell off of the shrimp. I ended up chewing a lot of shrimp shells because I could not get them peeled off. We also ordered the Captain's Platter to share. It is huge and that's the best thing I can say about it. They were out of scallops so we substituted fried oysters and picked catfish and our two sides. The catfish, oysters and hush puppies were fine. The crab cake was, as mentioned above, terrible. Not 'disappointing.' Not 'not good.' Not 'room for improvement': terrible. Embarrassingly terrible. Our meal came out without the sides. Our waitress was busy with the one other seated table in the place having a long conversation about tattoos and tattoo places in Fredericksburg and was heading back to the kitchen when we flagged her down. By the time our sides were out, we had finished the main course. The mac and cheese and the twice baked potatoes had just come out of the oven so the were blazing hot. Let me be clear: they cooked our main and sent it out and then started firing the sides. Actually they probably cooked some else's food and then fired our sides. The mac & cheese was fine, the twice baked potato skin was so charred, it was inedible and the inside of the potato was, well... mush. It looked like they had put it in a blender resulting in a tasteless paste consistency. And then the too-hot-to-eat food was presented to us after we had finished the main. Hubs ordered iced tea, I ordered water to drink. They were nearly the same color. To describe his tea as "weak" is a kindness. Something nice: The person who waited on us was very nice and did her best. Here's the best part: we dropped $60 for two people sharing app and entree. For $60, we could have had a nice meal served in proper order that had texture and taste. Instead we got unseasoned, tasteless gruel (with the exception of the catfish) that was way below "not good." Randolph's On The River will now just be a fond memory and not a special place to go. That makes me very sad.

While they have lots of seafood options, they also serve delicious hamburgers and pizzas. And my personal favorite... the Godfather!! This grilled chicken sandwich is housed between two brioche buns and includes melty Swiss cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It is hands down the BEST tasting grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had, and I get it every time. It comes with fries too. Onto the drinks... they have their own signature cocktails including dockside punch (like watermelon jolly ranchers? I found your drink) and the orange crush (orange juice cocktail fresh DELIGHT)! Cocktails are served in sturdy large plastic cups and easy to carry around. Most of the servers are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is so cool. They have so much indoor and outdoor seating and live music each weekend. There's a little beach in the outdoor part and even boat seating!! See you there??????????!!!!!!!!!

I almost don't want to reveal this place because it's just that good especially in the summer time…read more I saw this place on social media and wanted to try it instantly with some friends. My friend got the New England clam chowder, which she loved. I got the lobster roll and hush puppies and shared the fish nuggets. Everything was outstanding and I would come back in a heartbeat. My friends and I came here on a random Wednesday so it was not very busy for the time of day. We were promptly greeted by staff and provided with suggestions. They were so so friendly and offered any sauces, as we asked (I'm forgetting if the sauces were extra or not). The place is quite small so it will get crowded but it is so so worth it. Definitely come here if you love seafood and lobster rolls.

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. Unfortunately, they don't offer jumbo crabs--they sell them as #1 or #2. We ordered two dozen #1s, and on this visit they were small to medium at best. They were still tasty for what was available, just not what we were hoping for. The view was beautiful, and I imagine it's even better around sunset or at night. Overall, it's not a bad spot to stop for seafood if you're already in the area, especially if you're looking for a nice waterfront atmosphere.

I ordered the oysters casino, they weren't that good, they were lukewarm. For my main meal I got the stuffed flounder and that had no taste whatsoever the crab was burnt, my side was corn (which they forgot to bring) the corn tasted like they just poured it straight from the can. My daughter's meal had a long strand of hair on top, it was baked into her meal. Another person in our party sent her food back twice, the first time it had hair on top (second time with hair in the food) and then after she was almost finished with her meal there were bugs on the bottom of her plate. Overall experience for my first time dining here kind of sucked.. not gonna lie. I don't recommend this place. Happy Easter !!

And while we're on the subject of supporting real food and real restaurants, let me just tell you…read moreabout this place. It's so beautiful and out the way and unassuming...so if it's your first visit and you did no research and maybe just happened upon this place, you're not gonna know what to expect. I visited this place for the first time and that is what I felt, all with the exception of knowing what to expect to a degree because I did read reviews. All of them were fantastic so I was excited to stop by. It's down a long stretch of road and at the end of it is the most beautiful scenery. It really ties together with the seafood dining experience that you are undoubtedly here to have. I mean the views were just spectacular. And we arrived right around golden hour, which made it even more unbelievably beautiful. When we go to places that we've never been , to give ourselves a true experience, we order apps, entrées, and sometimes desert. So for our apps we got crab dip, and crab egg rolls-those were great. The crab egg rolls weren't overcomplicated with any other ingredients. It was crab and wonton wrapper-that's it-and it was fried to perfection. They are also cut open for you and visually to see all that crab in the egg roll, you excited. They are served with a dipping sauce and that was also great. The crab dip (which I got all to myself because my husband isn't a big dip guy) was phenomenal. I put it on everything and took leftovers home. For our mains, my husband got the mariner platter. I got the salmon. Everything was cooked too perfection. I don't venture too much on getting anyone's mac & cheese at any restaurant. however because so many people raved about it, I got the mac & cheese here as one of my sides and it did not disappoint. My other side was onion rings and I love a good onion ring but not everyone knows how to fry them correctly. A goid indication of a good onion ring is that when you bite into it, that the entire onion doesn't detach from the crispy coating and theirs did not. It was fried perfectly and I know true onion ring lovers are going to appreciate that little tidbit of information. And just to add while I was at home with my leftovers, I added the crab dip in with the mac & cheese that I also had left and that was chef's kiss-so maybe a crab mac & cheese should be in their future. My husband also got the cream of crab soup and I had a spoonful of that as well, and it was so creamy and so flavorful and filled with lump crab meat. I got a cocktail from the bar my husband had water and I believe tea...and those were great. There was not one miss in execution or flavor for any of the things that we ordered. We are very much looking forward to our next visit and we both agreed that this is going to become a regular in our rotation. They have a gem here, and in most cases I feel like the more people that know the better, but at the same time I just wanna keep this all to myself...but at the same time everyone deserves to enjoy all that they have to offer and I wish that type of good energy for the customers and staff alike. GOOOOO!
