Fred's on the River.

Fred's on the River is a typical riverside tavern with good bands, fun locals and a dock to offload your boat without charge. There is food available in a small casual dining space that is shared with the gas station in the same parking lot. They will bring the food to you at the bar if requested. The pizza there is really very good and affordable.

I've been in this part of town for all of my life and I was curious about Fred's on the river. After being in the military for 3 years I come back to my hometown and come to find out this place is outdated and somewhat uncomfortable. I was the only black person there, not to mention the service there very rude and not professional. I got an adios and she basically said it's like an Long Island ice tea (no toppings and the drink was drenched with syrup). The place as an whole was a 7 that's why I gave it a 2 but other than that the service, music, the people, and even the pool tables lacked any care for. In all, I would not recommend this place to anyone hoping to have a fun night.

I have a motorcycle. I like to cruise with a destination. And Fred's seems like a great place to stop for refreshment on a hot day.Before the floods this place was a total biker bar. A divey, gritty, awesome spot that was perfect in its way.Sadly, the floods washed away the grit.The new Fred's is lovely, rebuilt, shiny. I have no real complaints about the remodel, but it lost a lot of that biker-atmosphere.Bartenders are nice. The view of the river is awesome. They have music on the weekends and it's cool to hang on the patio, have some drinks and relax. Prices are good too.If you're hungry, you can get a menu at the bar. But you have to call the phone number on the menu - the restaurant is at the shop in a different building. There is table service, but it's kinda slow. Best option is to walk up to the store yourself and be your own waiter.I don't hate the new Fred's, but I do miss what the old Fred's represented: a little back-water hideaway for those of us who wanted a little low-brow atmosphere.

I know that Fred's on the River has changed a lot since Fred passed away. I used to love the old Fred's restaurant. The prices were always great but since they have built this new restaurant, which I guess they have to pay for, things have really changed. I don't even find that the recipes that they used to serve is the same.

We went on a Monday evening. Staff not very friendly. No cocktails although mentioned on the facebook page but perhaps we were there on the wrong night. Great setting on the river, if we had not been to some other similar settings where we were made to feel welcome may have rated more. Stayed for a drink and then left the locals to enjoy the spot

Wouldn't give this place a star if it was an option... way over priced drinks. I ordered 6 shots for the band.... she made 12 shots.. wanted to charge me for all the shots or I get nothing. I'm sorry she can't add or comprehend 6 shots.... I walked away and I'm not coming back.... learn bartending skills

Very large and clean! I love the ambiance in the big room with the dance floor. The entire wall system opens up and over looks the river. Beautiful deck outside with a sight line of the bandstand from inside. Barmaids and bartenders are very nice and accommodating. Lots of room to park your boat outside too.

Being new in town, I wandered on over to Freds looking for a friendly atmosphere and hoping to make new acquaintances. This was hardly the case. The staff was super unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could understand if it were busy and maybe they had a lot of their plates, but again, this was NOT the case. About 10 folks in the place total. I left Freds feeling more out of place then ever. Months later, when my son came to visit me in my new hometown, I took him there and AGAIN, unfriendly and unwelcome. Freds needs to make some serious changes....
