Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Stripers Waterside offers a picturesque waterfront dining experience with a welcoming ambiance. Guests appreciate the "great service" and friendly staff. The seafood dishes, particularly the crab dip, receive high praise. Outdoor seating provides lovely views, although some diners note inconsistencies with food quality and service speed. Ideal for a relaxed meal by the river.

    The outside was nice but the music was so loud. It was ok music but if you plan to enjoy a conversation don't go here. You have to choose between indoor basic view with good conversation or outdoor nice view with loud music. The service was so slow, our waiter though very nice, didn't get to us until 20 mins after seated, our food came out wrong after an hour of waiting, and we still couldn't eat cause after it arrived we had to wait 10 minutes for silverware. I'm pretty simple, all that would have been forgiven if the food was good. Unfortunately,my risotto tasted like a cheesy casserole and not a good one. I make risotto and mine is 10xs better. I've even had lobster risotto at a pub in Maine and not just the lobster was better. My caesar salad was uncut iceberg lettuce with a few romaine, bad dressing, and store bought croutons. We spent $200 for four people and we had water, two soft drinks, and a juice. This included tip because I was a waitress once and I get a bad day. Unfortunately this was an ok restaurant cause my husband like his beer battered fish. If anyone remembers Captain D's or Long John Silver, I'd equate this place to that. At least their the prices would be fair.

    1st time here. Date night with my wife and wanted to try something new. Sat outside on the deck. The chairs and tables are worn out. 3 of the chairs at are table were ripped. I feel like they didn't do enough to keep people in the shade. Food was a little bit of a disappointment for the price. I had the stuffed flounder. It had great flavor but it was undercooked in the center. My wife had the blackened chicken pasta. The chicken was just grilled with no seasoning. The best part was the service. The waiter was great and kept on top of everything. With that said I would go back and give them another try.

    Foood was good, some of the appetizer tasted like the local water. Dine-in is strongly recommended, too many flies while eating outside. Staff was extremely friendly. Entrees were really good!

    This is a beautiful restaurant on the water with nice ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and the waitress promptly noted it when we sat and brought icecream at the end to celebrate. I had heard the food amazing, but the 4 people in our party, myself included did not think the food was that good, especially for the price. Our waitress was very nice but service was slow. The restaurant was not busy but it took our food awhile to come out and getting drinks from the bar was a wait. Several times other servers tried to to deliver food to our table that was not ours. I will definitely be back to see if we have a better experience next time.

    The waitress was nice but it took us an hour to get our food the portions was very small 6 bang bang shrimp Barely any lobster meat. Mostly rice , loaded baked potatoes was barely anything in it. I think they are having control costs issues . Other customers that was seated after us received their food about the same time . This was my birthday . One and done for me

    This was our first time there and was meeting a long time friend for brunch/lunch. The waitress was very nice and new to the job but she was fine, our complaint is with the food!! Steak and eggs were ordered by my friend and it came with no sides whatsoever, just a few chunks of extremely tough steak and scrambled eggs!! She had to request a side of toast!! My wife ordered the breakfast bowl which was extremely late being served and looked as if it was hastily prepared.. it was horrible, so much so she only took 2 bites and pushed the bowl away!! I ordered a salad which I shared with my wife because her food was so late and it was mediocre at best. I do not recommend Strippers as a spot for dining!!

    The location is great. The food was subpar. We sat outside and it was lovely. Not many tables in the shade but the water view and spacious outdoor area were the best part of the experience.
