Back home visiting family and friends in Charlotte NC. Of course an annual visit to a fish camp. Several fish camps have either closed or cut hours, but Riverside still very popular and great seafood. No reservations taken but we were seated quickly to our table for 10, but only 9 could make it. Our server Allysha brought menus and took drink orders. We picked two servings of Onion Rings and one serving of Fried Squash for the table to share. Onion rings were ok but the Squash was terrific! Crispy outside and soft inside. My wife picked the Senior plate of Green Shrimp with a loaded baked potato. I went for the Butterflied Shrimp and Oysters, with an extra coleslaw for side. Pretty busy there about 4:15 on Friday. Our food took a bit of time but gave us a chance to visit and talk with the family and friends. Both our meals were excellent. My oysters thinly breaded and flash fried to be crispy outside and juicy inside. I wound up taking a few shrimp, coleslaw and about 20 hushpuppies back to hotel for next day. Excellent food, great service, a bit noisy but not so much so to prevent conversations. This will undoubtably be our annual go to for our visit.

Great lunch. Found this place on Gaston Eats. I had the riverside plat and honestly we could have split it. Great service from Alyssa taking care of a party and never missed a beat. Drinks stayed full and she made us feel welcome. and we left with leftovers. We will be back.

Onion Rings

We've been told that this is THE place to get fried catfish in this area. When we visited on Friday night, we were very underwhelmed. I love the fact that this place is tucked out of the way, and off of the beaten path. Regardless, there are tons of cars in the parking lot, but the place is relatively large inside and they get you in quickly. The hostess was kind and efficient. We waited maybe 10 minutes on a Friday night at 7 pm. Our waitress was very kind and efficient as well. She brought our drinks and some hushpuppies to nosh on while we looked at the menu. She was able to help us out with our selections and made sure our drinks were filled. My only issue with this place is the food itself. And some people are going to love it, no doubt. But the things I ordered felt like they were from frozen fish and shrimp. The batter did not adhere to the shrimp and had that "ice coating" feel. I know, we can't get fresh shrimp in Dallas, NC, but a better preparation would remove that texture problem. The worst thing I had was the stuffed flounder. It looked like a huge fried softball. Ate one bite and left the rest. The food all tasted the same. Fried with little differentiation. The onion rings were delicious and I thought the slaw was good, too. The best thing about this place is the price, though. For 3 grown people, it cost $50. Unheard of for seafood. So, this is the reason for the third star, the incredible value of this place. If you aren't picky about the quality of your seafood or are just craving some fried food, give this place a try. Others rave about it! I'm willing to pay a bit more to get quality food, so this place wasn't a win for me.

Best Chicken Livers I've ever had so delicious. This place is a legit fish camp where clearly everyone goes it was busy but service was excellent and fast. Large dining area good for meeting your family. Everyone was very friendly. I can't wait to go back. Fried pickles were the bomb extra crispy. Food was not greasy at all. The tarter sauce is perfect with the green shrimp and hush puppies. Portion sizes and prices are very reasonable.

Been coming for years, best fish camp around love the atmosphere, and our favorite waitress Christina.

Been coming for years, best fish camp around love the atmosphere, and our favorite waitress Christina. The owners Emily and Jeff Comer are the best. I worked here for years and recommend this place to everyone.

Fish platter with fries.

My first time visiting this restaurant was on 05/21/2023. I ordered take out and had my boyfriend pick it up so I was unable to give me own critique of the inside but from what he told me the place looked to be a family owned restaurant. We ordered 2 fish platters and fried pickles as an appetizer. Everything was greasy which was to be expected since we got fried food. The amount of food was great for the price.

Large portions of food. The fried shrimp may very well be the best I have ever tasted. The food comes out so quickly you don't have to wait long. It is loud inside, but the food is so good you won't even notice. The staff are running around and get everything for you promptly. My drink was never empty.

Pick two platter. Jumbo shrimp and the catfish filets.

I've passed by a few times and always wondered what waited inside..I parked...I observed....Finally…read moreI decided to enter...and...This place is awesome! Greeted as I entered by Jade instantly made me feel welcome. The rest is history in the making because I will consider this home from home....it was an actual home and the history is fascinating. Jade was kind enough to give me a brief tour of the old homestead built wayyyy back and introduced me to several regulars along the way. I made other new friends playing at the pool tables next to the outside dining/party area. It's getting a little chilly now to hang outside but I've been told it's a great place come summer time. Of this I have no doubt. I look forward to visiting again as seeing all those friendly faces for the holidays.

The Pickle has been a staple of historic downtown Dallas for years. The atmosphere is always fun…read moreand welcoming, whether you're there for karaoke, trivia, or just to catch up with friends. They have an outstanding selection of beers on tap, great liquor specials, and a limited food menu that's absolutely worth trying. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for a laid-back neighborhood bar with great drinks, good food, and a lively atmosphere, The Pickle is hard to beat.

Excellent service, wonderful people! The steak was perfectly…read moreclean cooked and incredibly tender. The taste was as good as anything I have had. The Resturant itself is rather interesting. Everything was spotlessly clean. We could hear the conversation at our table even. Overall, it was more than worth the price.

I wish that I could give half stars, I don't think this was worth a true three but also not a four…read more Starting with the ambience, it's a really cool restaurant! Fun to see the old theater and the kids with us enjoyed looking around. The music was a little loud, but we did let the server know and they did turn it down for us. We had a group 8. The food was good, maybe a little small in portions. We almost all ordered the crab cake Benedict and the ham Benedict. We also ordered the cheesecake, the crème brûlée and the coconut cake. They were all really good, but I would note the crème brûlée had I believe tea in it? It wasn't just a traditional flavor but it was delicious! I do want to comment on experience. I was with my 8 month old son, who can't eat runny eggs. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and I asked to swap the poached egg to scrambled egg so I could share with my son. The server let me know he was going to check with the chef. He came back right before the plate was dropped off and said "The chef will not be doing that substitution for you". I acknowledge this is an abnormal substitution for eggs Benedict, but I was surprised and disappointed that the chef couldn't make this simple accommodation.

Well, we were looking for a place near the library to watch the NCAA…read more Women's Basketball game, and decided to visit. Of the ten patrons inside when we arrived, they all seemed to know each other. Thankfully, this didn't sway us one way or the other. We sat near the door, and I asked the bartender to turn on the game, which she did. Turns out the game wasn't on that channel, but I didn't want to disturb her conversation with the locals. Our waitress mentioned she was fairly new. She was attentive but kept forgetting things. I ordered the "must-have" Bessemer City Buzzard on a Stick, which is about half of a chicken breast seasoned and baked on a stick. The chicken wasn't as dry as I expected, but it also lacked flavor, and I had to pay $1 for sweet chili sauce to dip it in (3/5). The corn nuggets were nice and hot, and I enjoyed them (5/5). Note: I saw a couple of references to "redneck" while visiting, and I would characterize this place as a local redneck hangout.

The chicken wings are pretty good. I like mine wet, so I had a Whiskey Mill sauce, which was great!…read moreThe Service was good and the ambience is decent. Sitting is available inside. It is typically loud in this establishment and when you call in an order during the afternoon or evening, you have to speak loud over the phone so they can hear you. I have ordered from them several times, but the wings are pretty pricey, so I don't go that much. However, they do offer wing discounts two days out the week. . Lastly, I really like their salads too!
