“ Excellent time with great friends! Isabelle was super sweet and attentive and made our night extra fun! Entertainment, food and atmosphere on the water was the best. ”
“ Very nice place, service was very good and also pricing was good. They had live band playing when we visited on Saturday not sure if that's what they have for every Sat but it was really nice to listen to live music while we were there. Food was very good too. We ordered Grilled Grouper Tacos with fries, and also Fried Grouper Sandwich and both were delicious. For drinks I got Summer Mohito which has strawberry undertone that was very refreshing. We also loved the vibe of a gigantic Tiki Bar the restaurant has very nicely done. ”
“ We go to Rum River often. Food, service and prices are great. The setting and view couldn’t be better. Special shout out to our favorite server, Hailey! Makes a great time even better. ”
“ Tuesday nights at Rum River are a vibe! Karaoke with Cherokee Allyse was a total blast — great energy, great music, and even better company. Don’t skip the Rum Runner, Crab Fries, or Coconut Shrimp — all absolutely delicious! The cherry on top? Watching the sunset over the water. It was the perfect midweek escape. Can’t wait to come back ”
“ This was our first visit, but our daughter and son-in-law have been there often. The food was delicious! I am not a fish lover, so asked if I could get beef tacos instead of the seafood tacos that were on the menu. No problem. They were seasoned differently than any I have ever had, and I really enjoyed them. The others had various seafood dishes, all of which they raved over. Having sangria was a plus for us, in addition to the Caribbean Bucket. Our server was friendly and helpful. All in all it was a great meal. ”
“ Stopped here after a beautiful day on the water for an early dinner. The clam chowder was very good. I had the live Maine lobster with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was delicious but not a 1 1/2 lb lobster. Service was great from Liza and I would def come back for more. I’m a satisfied man right now. ”
“ We dined in at Rum River grill and it was an amazing decision. We had a great waitress named Isabel who was very attentive and never let the beers go cold. Head over for the happy hour, stay for the service. ”
“ Glad they are open again. First time eating here and it was wonderful!! Our server was awesome!! Food was delicious!! ”
