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.

We came here for a lunch get-together, as one of our counterparts was craving for a sandwich. I knew I wanted to try their Philly Steak, opting out of the green peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes; this came with chopped sirloin steak, mayo, and white American cheese no a toasted bun. Subs come in a 6" or 12", in which I opted for the 6". The sub itself was pretty okay; it was generously filled, beefy, and filling. The bread itself could have been better, as it was a little dry. They had a nice selection of Herr's chips, with various flavors I haven't seen before - we tried the Cheese Ravioli and Marinara flavored ones, and they were interesting! Staff were friendly, but the individual who was preparing the sandwiches seemed to be super overwhelmed in keeping up with the orders; she seemed a bit exasperated when asked for a side of missing toppings (such as the pickled jalapenos), getting the bathroom door unlocked, etc. Some of the other sandwiches that were prepared gave off some strong odors, particularly the proteins that were being cooked on the grill. This could be an issue for those who are sensitive to smells. The place doesn't have a sign, but it's near Domino's and Top's China. Located in The Shops at Beach Gate, there's plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. +decent subs +handful of seating inside

Grilled chicken sandwich nothing special- not enough seasoning. Small indoor seating area- only 4-5 tables. We asked for food to go since we're visiting and they only had one very small container of ketchup they could give us Overall: The pulled pork sandwich is the highlight, but the rest of the meal and the limited seating make it a mediocre experience. Convenient for a quick stop, but not a standout dining destination. Based on this, I give this establishment a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
