Riptides Seafood Restaurant

1st visit- absolutely fantastic! Our waitress Callie took great care of us. The appetizers we ordered, crab dip & Tuna bites were delicious. The blackened mahi tacos were as good as I've ever had. The pumpkin martini was incredible.Can't wait to return- this is a new favorite!

We tried this for the first time after hearing good things and we were not disappointed. It was a Friday and not too busy when we got there but did fill up after awhile. We were seated and our server was very pleasant. We ordered some appetizers (oysters Rockefeller and fried tuna bites). The seafood platter that I ordered was so fresh and delicious and also enough for me to take some home. The crabmeat was my favorite part so buttery and fresh! I wish we had room for dessert but we will have to give it a try next time.

Sister took me here as a welcome back to VA dinner. All of us had good food! I very much enjoyed my tacos. The corn and spinach were also great. My niece downed a huge steak. Service and ambiance were great. Plenty of seating. I'm sure I'll be back next visit. Appreciate they are celiac aware for my celiac family ( I was only one in party not celiac!)

We come here often for things that we are celebrating at work. We went yesterday to celebrate my birthday and my coworker told the waitress it was my birthday and at the end of the meal, she said I'm going to tell you happy birthday because riptides doesn't offer you anything. And not that people have to, but when people go out and choose to celebrate their birthday, they look forward to that cake or scoop of ice cream that is offered. A lot of places give you something even if you don't make a purchase.... So, if you're looking forward to that, go somewhere else. For the 3 of us for lunch, our bill was over $100 and it's expected for good seafood. My food was absolutely delicious and the calamari was some of the best I've ever had. Crab dip needs some help. It had so little bit of crab that it just tasted like cream cheese dip. That blacken salmon was cooked to perfection. The Brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection as well. The sweet potato casserole was sweet and so good.

Friendly greeters and great server.Decided to take mom to riptides for her birthday. She really enjoys the customer service and the wonderful food options. We were agreed with a smile and a friendly staff, and the environment was cozy and nice. The way we got was so friendly he was so attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. He was tall and he floated across the dining room like a professional.The menu offered many different options for seafood lovers, and those who would like chicken options at the seafood place. The team opted for appetizers of She-crab soup, which they enjoyed and clam chowder which they devoured. We also ordered their hush puppies and they were delicious as well. Everything came out hot and fresh and the party was the lighted with their choice.We ordered entrées and the portions were huge. Everybody had certain things that they wanted substituted but the restaurant was able to make those changes without any problems whatsoever. The food came out fresh. The sides came out, piping hot the people who wanted their sides to be in different dishes, but the restaurant accommodated. They brought out all types of condiments and fulfill everybody's request. Everybody was so happy that at one point communication sea salt together, except for the thing sounds of smacking lips and happy smiles.Room for dessert and was able to get slices of the Keylime pie. It was delicious. It had a wonderful balance of sweetness and the tart flavors. You enjoyed with a Keylime pie. We even decided to take a couple slices home so that we could enjoy the next day. Overall, I would say, bring your family and your friends out to Riptides. Please come early because the dining room can fill up rather quickly. The food is delicious and the prices are right.Make sure you bring your appetite because the food is bountiful on the plates.

My wife and I met a friend for dinner at Riptides last week. The greeting we received was cheerful and friendly as usual. We were seated promptly and were attended to immediately. Service was efficient and not rushed. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. My friend's tuna Poke' Bowl was sensational. Looking across the table, I wished that I ordered one! The tuna was served rare (perfect as ordered). My wife's Butterflied Shrimp Poke' Bowl was also perfect, as ordered. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Steak (rare) and it didn't look anything like my friend's tuna and didn't taste like tuna. After the fact, I think they got the order mixed up,I believe I was served swordfish steaks. Mistakes happen when things are busy. I I would expect that the person who got my tuna was well satisfiedThe swordfish was cooked properly (rare as ordered) I like swordfish, so not a big deal except that looked and tasted like it had been frozen. All things considered, we had a great time and I recommend Riptides and we will be back.

We went for my birthday, I made reservations. Food was okay. Service was okay. No mention of my birthday was made, we did not get dessert so I can't review that. It was just okay.

I thought the food was good and you get a fair serving for a fair price. Service was very good and the place was nice.

Riptide is super cute smells great clean fast service nice people crab dip and oysters are great

The first time I went the food was great. We went back again and it wasn't quite as good but still worth going. We went a third time and ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and it was cold. We sent it back and my plate returned and was better. My friend wound up sick after eating hers. The service is mediocre but the ambiance is nice. Needless to say we're looking for a new restaurant.
