Rivers Edge Restaurant

Our party of four ordered various seafood - combination platters of oyster, shrimp, scallop, flounder, shrimp. Every one of us enjoyed the meal. My fried shrimp was divine! Slaw and the hot stewed potatoes were delightfully seasoned. Hush puppies. Yummy! The waitress and staff are very attentive. So thankful this seasonal restaurant is open.

I drove 45 minutes to check this place out on my anniversary, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The road leading to the restaurant was washed out, making it difficult and unsafe to get there. Once we finally arrived, we noticed a paper sign on the door letting us know they only accept cash—no debit or credit cards. Having just moved to North Carolina, I’ve been excited to support local, family‑owned businesses, but this was a letdown. In today’s world, it’s extremely rare for a restaurant not to accept cards, and most people simply don’t carry cash anymore. It was an inconvenient and surprising experience, and honestly, I wouldn’t return.

Delicious food! We enjoyed our plate of herring roes and lemon pie. Worth a trip.

I personally enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and it had a great view being right on the river. Only thing was I didn't expect so many bones in my fish, nearly choked on one. That however was my fault because I had no knowledge of how it was made. I would recommend if your looking for a small place to have a a reasonably price meal.

It really took me back to better days. The seafood was amazing! River herring are super good!!!
