    Definitely will find a reason to eat here again! I had grilled tilapia, green beans, corn. Oh, and a bunch of Rolls!!! Service was great - my iced tea never went empty. My dining compatriots experienced the same joy as I with their entrees (grilled catfish, crawfish etoufee, sweet potato fries with some special brown sugar and cinnamon stuff they served). All told, four guys had lunch here for just over $50. The meal was as good as place in Dallas where you pay $50 for ONE meal!

    Went here after hearing about it from several friends. Didn't get to try anything, but my experience was horrible. Walked up and was greeted by someone who asked where we would like to sit. We chose outside and he said our server would be there shortly. After 20 minutes of sitting watching servers go to other tables, but not us we went inside to find out what was going on. Hostess informed us that they "couldn't find our server" and she came outside with menus. We asked for a drink menu which she brought and asked what we wanted to drink. We asked if we could have a minute to look over the drink menu and she left. 30 minutes later we still sat there, not even getting a glass of water, and watched other tables get service and food around us. I guess they never found our server and no one wanted another table. We left after 50 minutes of waiting. I heard later that this place used to be a bigger location, but burned down. I also heard they have a new lot of land. Maybe they will rebuild and have better service, but I doubt I will go back here.

    Pretty good food; I liked the chips a lot, though the steak tacos were a bit underwhelming- the salsa was a bit too overpowering and the tortilla was too big. The drinks were great, though. I got a pair of margaritas, which were both delightfully strong. This would be great for the summer, when the patio is open and avaliable.

    Deck is nice, but not quite. Right next to highway. Food is waaaaay over priced, $16 for 2 mediocre fish tacos. Ridiculous. Arrived @1 for lunch, out of all crab which is 1/3 their seafood menu. Didn't get entrees till 2:15 (45 mns after order) and not that busy. Bill was $70 for two kids meal and two taco meals with 2 drinks. Ohhh and refills not free $5 for kids lemonade. Ridiculous. Place probably good just for drinks on deck.

    On the spur of the minute after Church, we decided to drive around looking for a place for lunch. After a few minutes, she remembered that she'd been taken to a great place in Abbeville while attending some FEMA training classes a few months ago. Upon finding the restaurant, we discovered that it was closed. Just down the block, however, we came across The Riverfront... and boy, were we glad we did. An unpretentious place right on the Bayou Vermilion, with a nice-sized outdoor deck, seemed like a place almost too-good-to-be-true for a pleasant Sunday lunch. The server, Sydney, was incredibly prompt, polite, and well-informed about the menu. My wife order the crab cakes with pasta while I ordered the Sunday special Bloody Mary and a fried shrimp-catfish platter with house-fried chips. For dessert, I had a homemade ice cream sandwich and my wife had the bread pudding. Here's my summary: In no time, our lunch arrived. The Bloody Mary arrive promptly. Thick.. cool.. flavorful.. everything a Bloody Mary should be! The sweet tea was tasty, a lovely complement to the sunny, pleasant day that was in progress while we chatted and enjoyed watching the traffic on the Bayou. Food - WOW! The crabcakes were amazing. Lightly fried with little filler. *very* tasty. The fried shrimp and fried catfish were very lightly breaded. Fried to perfection, they were both flaky, moist, and delicious. The cook in this place fully realizes that seafood has a delicate flavor that can be easily overpowered, so he/she is careful with the preparations. The homemade chips were *perfect*. The homemade ice cream sandwich had a delicious cookie surrounding a generous helping of ice cream. PDT ("Pretty Damn Tasty" as my friend Charlie says). Service - prompt. efficient. polite. everything you should expect *and* more. We were promptly greeted with smiles and quickly seated. Our server, Sydney, was quick to meet us out on the deck, take our order, and get us some drinks. She later asked us about dessert, confiding in us that she'll be leaving soon to attend the culinary program at Nicholls State and would really like to eventually become a pastry chef. How could you not be charmed by such a cute, polite,ambitious young lady? When we asked to speak with the manager, we were promptly greeted by yet another cute, charming young lady who was so pleased to hear us rave about her restaurant's performance. Price - very reasonable. $16 and $18 for entrees, $2.25 for tea, $4.00 for Bloody Mary, $6.00 for desserts. Atmosphere - Geez, do ya have to even ask? :) We were seated on a deck, next to Bayou Vermilion, just one block from the downtown area of a small town in South Louisiana on a lovely, sunny Sunday morning. For what more could one ask? Impression - We will *definitely* make this one of our "go-to" places!

    First time here. Food was very good, service surprised me with their efficient work. Dining room was open enough that you weren't sitting on top of the other table. Only drawback was that the dining room does get loud if you have a large or rowdy group.

    I think the Riverfront is really great. The interior was recently updated, for the better. The food is always excellent. The bar has a great atmosphere, although at times it can get a little crowded. They have margarita specials on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. It's a great place to eat...just try it.
