- AAArianna ASep 20, 20254.0I love old man River! It has so much charm and ive been going there since I was little! One of my favorite food is clams and I love to get them from there! I think it is a very cute place and it is a fun place to hangout with family and friends! The only complaint I have is the BBQ brisket and the other meat I got was extremely dry and had a very very strong smoky taste which I did not like I was not able to finish it. There are also a lot of bees which is understandable due to people having soda and food so im assuming this would be hard to control. Overall this is an amazing place and I love walking to the park across the street after I eat there.
- GBgina bellaJun 14, 20243.0My experience tonight was very disappointing. I have always loved this place. The food tonight was just horrible and looked like it sat out all day,i got the chicken with potatoes and corn. I was happy to get a full refund tho
