Food was okay. Service was good. Location was great! But I now know where they filmed the "ozark series " If I drank still this could be a fun place.
I don't leave reviews much anymore but I had to! Went today for our 15th anniversary because hubby loves keno. It was an utter disaster. Mikayla was behind the bar and should never be in the service industry. There was an older woman with glasses who came around twice but never came back. She was personable and actually TALKED to us. Mikayla never came back we had to constantly call her. We had to ask for our menus, call her back for our drinks. We never completed our meal we left soon after. She spent her time talking at the other end of the bar. We had to YELL for silverware! The food was an utter disaster. The oysters were overcooked, the flounder was raw in the center, the crab cake was inedible. The baked potatoes were RAW. Mikayla delivered the plates and walked away as we were talking to her. She didn't offer lemon, silverware, ketchup or salt/pepper. Hubby loved their ruben but as long as Mikayla is there they've lost 15 people going there.
Not bad, got their burger and was quite impressed. Poor gals were overwhelmed and they had no help, so give them a big hand
Came here a Monday for a late lunch and the place was empty except two other tables. We ordered the prime rib, small shipwreck platter, kids Mac and cheese, and kids cheeseburger. I thought the food was pretty good. I would get the food here again for sure. Our server was also nice and friendly. He did, however, forget both our appetizers and we didn't notice until after our entrees had been out. Inside could use a little revamping as it is outdated but you can't beat the view. There is also plentiful parking.

Fastest service on the beach. They might be under staffed, but the ladies there hustle so you wouldn't know it. Food is good. No flies like some restaurants. A/C is cold. Beer prices are better than most in town.
Ordered the "jumbo" shrimp stuffed with crabmeat...better description would be mini shrimp stuffed with filler & a few pieces of crab. Guess we should Have figured that a gambling venue would not really serve quality food.
This restaurant caught our attention because it is probably one of the biggest buildings in Colonial Beach right off the boardwalk and sits over the water. Once inside, the seating/bar/dining room are all extremely dated and not well taken care of at all, very dirty. We considered leaving right then and there but decided to try an appetizer and drink. Menu was super small, and the appetizers we got looked like they were freezer food from the grocery store. Mixed drinks were just ok, way overpriced for the atmosphere and size of drink you're getting. Waitresses seemed disinterested, were sitting at one of the tables at the front of the restaurant just talking, took a long time to attend to the table. Will definitely not be going back unless they do a major upgrade.
The Riverboat on the Potomac has beautiful views, a great menu, and yummy food. Their Valentines dinner for two was amazing. While they may have stumbled in the past, April and staff are doing a great job. Give them a try...If you are a sports fan, the Gaming room is great - TV's comfy chairs, and betting.
Came here for our Christmas lunch with my grandma and her bf who live in the area. Haven't been in years and years and hadn't heard many positives so didn't have high hopes. Honestly the food was way above my expectations. There were 6 of us. We got some drinks to starts and service was slow but there were only 2 servers and 1 person in the kitchen from what we were told. Mom got the fried rockfish bites which were delicious and a huge portion. Grandma and her bf got the rockfish and shrimp dinner (one fried one broiled) which were also large portions and very tasty. Dad got a burger that he said was good but overcooked. My sister and I got the large platter to share broiled and everything was great except the scallops which were super small (should have been more then 4) Overall things were tasty and I would go back
This place is located in a very convenient location and this is the only good part about this restaurant. We ordered quite a few food items and some were not available. The service took very long time. Lastly, the food was in low quality. So if not for the convenience, I would recommend other places.
Riverboat is a complete dive. If I could give it zero stars I would. Leaking ceilings. foul carpet and gross furniture. We waited for an hour and we were never served our breakfast that was ordered all with only two other tables in the dining room. It's absolutely clear that Riverboat owners dont care about regular dining as they put all the money into the new sports betting Room. Never again will I walk into your establishment.
