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.
