Customer Reviews

This restaurant has a great location near the water and a nice local area surrounding it. The food was alright and the drinks were also satisfactory as well with a small limited selection of whiskey/burbon and other liqours. I had the buffalo shrimp Po-Boy with shrimp, lettuce, tomato all on a sub bun with buffalo sauce and a side of sweet potato fries for about $14 (before tax). The sandwich was just alright, there wasn't enough sauce and the bun was so much larger than the contents inside that I mainly t

We orders the lemon pepper wings, Tko shrimp tacos with caesar salad and cheese grits, shrimp dinner with fried okra and corn nuggets, and the food was great!

Very understated, casual vibe; however, WOW-very impressive seafood. First time trying shrimp and grits, and was pleasantly surprised with this incredibly scrumptious, delicious dish. The fried shrimp platter, with fried okra, was overflowing with shrimp. We normally don't eat fried food, but this was exceptional. Everything came out steaming hot. Ordered dessert to go and they slipped in a second dessert for no charge. The bananas foster cheesecake should come with a warning that it could become addicti

Took my daughters here for lunch for the first time. Our server was very pleasant and sweet. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Generous portions. My collard greens were so so good and my daughter loved her Alfredo pasta with chicken . We will be back! Maybe breakfast next time- I we can get there before 10 am. ??

First time diners. Saw some of the great reviews and decided to try it out. Loved that we ran into neighbors. Place was very clean, bright and tables not all jamed together. There was music and 2 TV's, but again, not too loud. We could still chat with friends at the next table. Service was good and food hot. Ingredients were definitely fresh. It was a great product for the cost. We will definitely be back to try out lunch. #breakfast #eggs #friends #local #music

Ate here for Mothers Day and it was awesome! I ordered the crab cakes benedict with home fries. Everything was so yummy!

Local bar we decided to try based on the numerous items offered on the menu online. I had the crab cake sandwich and hush puppies. Pretty good. Also had a couple drinks. My friend loved her nachos. Our waitress friendly but it took awhile to get our entrees.

Jumping on the SRW review bandwagon. Stepping into Southern River Walk, I immediately felt the coastal Southern vibe the restaurant is aiming for. While it's not an upscale spot, the relaxed decor and touches of Southern charm create a laid-back and inviting atmosphere. Soft rock hits play gently in the background, adding to the ambiance, though on my visit, the empty dining area did give it a bit of a quiet, lonely feel. Cara, my waitress, was a delight?friendly and attentive without hovering. She checke

This place was a nice restaurant with much personality in St Marys. We ordered the mushroom swiss bacon burger , spinach dip with chips and cheese sticks. We shared it all . The fries were crispy, hot and fresh. The burger was juicy, hot and delicious. The spinach dip was hot and the chips were nicely seasoned. I ordered the specialty drink St Marys Mud water (I think is what its called). The specialty drink was strong but flavorful.

4/18 12:30 PM-1:15PM HEALTH GRADE 99 15% Military Discount + $5.00 tip = $34.55 Total for lunch?amazing price for 2 Seat yourselves service but greeted by friendly wait staff. Morgan was our server, attentive & friendly. Clean interior restaurant. Didn't check outside but they have outdoor patio seating available. Ordered: Grilled Shrimp Platter with hush puppies, French fries and side salad. $17 YUM! Shrimp were perfect! Portion was nice, about 12 large grilled shrimp. Crab cake sandwich & corn nuggets

Emma, our server, was fantastic. Made amazing suggestions like the Macc and cheese side. Best Macc and cheese we've ever had! Had the best shrimp tacos and blacked shrimp. The rum runner was on point! Sorry, the pics are after we devoured almost everything. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy! Cheers!

The Crab Benedict was AMAZING with a side of grits . The waiter was very attentive, no complaints services was great! Will be returning in the near future.

Great food! Came here after backpacking at Cumberland island for 4 days. We got burgers and chill dogs which were both incredible. The side of corn nuggets were so good, I've never hand anything like them before. We also got lumpia which were unique and yummy. A wonderful spot to eat after a long time hiking.

Obviously, the local music talent is pretty pedestrian? that being said. They seem to do a pretty good job of picking decent music acts. The food is generally very good. A couple times during really busy nights I've gotten some lack-luster dishes, but that's to be expected anywhere when they're massively busy. The service is straight up exceptional. Always attentive to the table. Very nice servers, polite. The sort of hospitality most of us have come to expect from the local businesses in Camden County. Lov

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in St. Mary's.. good food, great service. Plenty to do especially with kids.

The food was most definitely 5 stars. I loved the chicken bomb sub and my wife said her street tacos were delicious. A couple nit picky things, they forgot to make my son's hot dog meal so they came out late. The coleslaw was not very good and the unsweetened tea was pretty watered down. Also, our table was pretty sticky, could use a good scrub down.

Experience a satisfying start to your day with Southern River Walk Bar&Grill&Arcades awesome breakfast options. I ate all my eggs, that says a lot. Enjoy hearty helpings at wallet-friendly rates!

Just had the Shrimp with their new Early bird special and OMG it was so flavorful!! Great place in downtown St Mary?s! Great Happy hour drinks also

We found this hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Google Maps. We were quite happy we did!! My Mahi tacos were amazing, and the fried okra?the best I've had in years!! Our waitress, Cara, was efficient, attentive, and just plain *nice.* I rarely give 5?s if that says anything! Oh, it's **dog friendly** on a spacious, covered patio.

Busy bar outside nice music . Really good Mac n cheese house made you can tell . I got the chicken kabob it was very deliciously good . I would try the steak next time . The lumpia is great you can tell it is homemade not frozen for years . You get 7 for $10 . That's awesome ! I will be back and I'm from Jacksonville.

Every time I have visited Southern River Walk, they have always knocked it out of the park! My first visit was a few months ago and I just had drinks with my family and a few family friends on the outdoor patio. The service was incredible! The drinks are above average for a bar and grill (just don't expect world class mixologists to be mixing up your old fashioned?s and margaritas, obviously). The live music was great too! My family and I had a blast having a few drinks, hanging out, and vibing to the music

You HAVE to get the Lumpia. The fried shrimp were very good. My husband liked the philly cheesesteak also. The waitress was awesome and recommended the mashed potatoes which were great. Live music and good cocktails. My daughter enjoyed dancing around.

Fun bar&grill with delicious food. Our waitress Ariel was delightful! Hubby and I both love a dark beer, or a porter, which needs to be added to their offerings. Would 100% return! Mahi tacos were delicious!

Husband and I decided to grab a quick dinner when we stumbled upon this hidden gem. We luckily showed up on Trivia night, and what an awesome time! The host was amazing. The food was superb. Didn't get anyone?s name because the staff worked together to make sure drinks were full and flowing all night.

We had a very good lunch on the patio. We shared the Seafood Platter with shrimp and crab cakes. Elizabeth did a great job she answered all our questions and got our food and drinks out very quickly. The bathrooms are clean ( a very cool picture painted in the Lady?s restroom).

I had a great time with my boyfriend, loved the life music the food was amazing and the drinks where great. After eating we loved the vibes so we sat at the bar outside and the experience was so good. I am not from around there but I am glad we found this place.

Food is good and the wait staff very friendly and efficient. Definitely a place I'd recommend. I had the Magic Philly Cheesesteak and fried okra. Yummy. I took off one star for the temp in there. It was very cold and seems like the vents hit all the tables. I've been there twice and both times had to wear my jacket while eating.

Well we where highly disappointed with the quality of most of our food. I order the lumpia and it was not as filling as usual all it had in the was a piece of meat and I didn't even no what that was....no cabbage or anything. We also order 10 piece hot wings and they taste like old wings that I wouldn't give my worst enemy...they didn't ask to take it off the bill or anything....we also had buffalo shrimp tacos and regular fried shrimp they were good. They was sooooo busy too we already had waited over 30 m

Always a fight or some dispute happening here at night. Watch out. Not deleting my comment, just replying to the ?owner?s? reply. First of all, no one said anything about the employees that work there. Everyone that works there has been very friendly and polite to me, they're amazing. I was talking about the people that visit at night, as you said in your reply. Second of all, rude of you to unnecessarily share my situation online when I did nothing wrong. I literally got attacked for no reason at all and

Travellers, this restaurant does a wonderful lunch plate. We had he oyster po boy and it was fantastic. The oysters are crispy fried, served on a toasted hoagie roll with lettuce tomato and tarter sauce. The sandwich was beautifully presented and was delicious to eat. Everything was well done, even the lettuce and finely chopped tomatoes on the sandwich. This restaurant offers fried baskets of shrimp, oysters, fish or crawfish as well as other sandwiches and all sorts of hamburgers. The are burger is delici

We dined here for breakfast last weekend & it was delicious! The service was great. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out!

Had ordered the Loaded Mac and Cheese with pulled pork but unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) they were out of the pork. So instead I ordered it with the Philly cheesesteak which was absolutely delicious. We also had the Mahi taco plate with home made potato salad and sweet potato fries which was excellent!

I ordered the crab cake dinner, mom ordered catfish and my son ordered shrimp and grits. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS ?? Highly recommend ??

Great place and atmosphere. Staff was really nice and polite. The food was really great and the Stoners Nachos are elite.

Great casual place in the heart of St. Mary's downtown. Food is always good, service is great. Outdoor sitting available, great cocktails and fun atmosphere.

We love coming to eat here. The only downside is that if it is full the noise level is really high and hard to engage in conversation, but the food is incredible and makes up for it.

Excellent fried shrimp, large portions of large shrimp. We sat in the bar area and had excellent service but there's also a dining room and a covered back patio/ bar area. ????

First off i got the buffalo grilled chicken wrap. Presentation was nice but the chicken was very chewy. I had spit it out because i couldnt chew the skin off the meat. I ate brought myself to atleast get through half the wrap and express my concern the kind waitress. Honestly i wanted to throw up... Anyways, She took the half that wasnt eaten back inside(i was eating out on the patio) and then came back with the check that was originally $15+ and said they took 10% off.....what was that suppose to do?? You

They took my mobile to go order 30 mins before kitchen closed and were extremely kind about it! The only thing I have to complain is no mac and cheese on my stoner nachos but still not bad enough to lose a star! Thank yall so much especially to the man who took my order and cashed me out! MVPS!!!!!

Food is fantastic! Ended up eating here 2 days in a row. Happy hour food prices are great. Just really good food. Kudos to the cook.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Chris, his wife, and their team for their unwavering support for for our community. Chris is involved in numerous initiatives aim to enhancing the city and making it a better place for families. I deeply appreciate all of your efforts and the positive impact you continue to make. Thank you for everything you do.

Heard that the breakfast was worth trying out, and definitely glad we did. The Legend, and a burrito fed the 3 of us well. The legend was a huge breakfast. W sausage, ham & bacon, eggs, a side, & couple slices of French toast. The burrito w a side was on the large side as well. Whatever they're using as seasoning on those hash browns is awesome. Service was good, didn't have to wait too long at all. Was ok atmosphere, there werere several other occupied tables. It's just small inside, it was too cold

Chicken and shrimp are very good. The chips are horrible. They were stale, and I mean very, very stale. The live music was wonderful, we enjoyed it a lot.

We went there to see a friend perform. The atmosphere was great. We sat outside where the stage is, and the way the venue is set up, it doesn't feel like you are outdoors. We just had drinks, but the food looked good.

This has become my go to spot to eat in town. I have yet to order something that wasn't tasty, but tonight the kitchen outdid themselves! The Bourbon Bacon Shrimp Tacos were hands down the best thing I have eaten there yet. Impeccable service and delectable drinks as always from Chastity!! Great little addition to downtown. If you're reading these reviews trying to decide where you want to head... head to Riverwalk! They have it all from live entertainment, to a fun filled arcade, indoor and outdoor seati

Amazing food, friendly service, great drinks. Good family place to eat, separate bar area with pool tables, games, etc. Indoor and outdoor seating. We'll definitely be returning!

This is a great place with great food. I highly recommend it.

We dined outside on the patio. The calamari was great! The shrimp & grits were amazing! My boys got burgers & loved them as well! We had fun playing in the arcade at the end of our dining experience. The waitress was friendly & attentive.

This was the perfect place to have a good dinner, a few drinks, and take in a relaxing vibe before heading to CI for a week of backpacking. The Blues Guy & Friends were fabulous, the weather was perfection, our server was attentive and knowledgeable. We had tried a patio at a different restaurant previously, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere at this place exponentially!

Very nice quaint place.Food was really good and huge portions I had the TKO tacos and they were huge.Fried shrimp on them were fried perfectly,great flavor with the sauce.Corn nuggets were also good.Husband had the fried shrimp dinner,huge portion and the ?? were fried perfectly,also had the corn nuggets.If you are looking for a great place to eat this is it Service was also good.We will be back

Nice mellow front bar with pool tables and other arcade entertainment. Plus super friendly and overall lovely staff personality. Delicious food too definitely recommend the TNT shrimp?????

What a great place. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The burger was cooked perfectly, and the atmosphere was simple and clean. Saint Mary's was a great stop on our trip south.

Good food in past but waitress said cost was different than on menu. Putting a breakfast with just egg and meat costing more than an omelet if you ask for a side like potato. If you Chang the cost change the menu.

We typically go to SRW for breakfast. But I really wanted a hamburger. It was excellent. I just wish they'd get rid of the smoking on the patio.

Prices were very reasonable and the food was very good. Nice atmosphere. The only reasons for 4 star and not 5 is the doors to the outside seating were open with people right next to the door smoking. Cigarette smoke was filling the entire restaurant. Also, total lack of any COVID-19 protocols.

We went to happy hour and had a fantastic late lunch. Our first visit. Absolutely loved dessert.

Great place to hangout with friends, and the food is amazing!

Can't come up with nothing but excellent things to say about this place. Best seafood hands I've had in my life. Wish I could give it 10 stars. Must trying in the area.

This past weekend my fiance and I had breakfast outside. The weather was a bit chilly but the food was outstanding!

Great place to entertain out of town company! Food was amazing! I will definitely be a regular here!!

Excellent food, excellent service! Always a band playing at some point in time, and what a fun place to hang out at! Bring your dog! It's also pet friendly ??

Was there last night and had an absolute blast. The live band was really good! The only negative part was that the drink I ordered from the bar was a little weak, but they were packed, and the bartenders were really doing a good job. My wife's margaritas were on point! I had the Santa Fa burger. Definitely recommend!

Great Food and atmosphere, would just like to add that i am a regular customer and i have never been let down. Especially on Wednesdays the special. I always always get the lemon pepper extra crispy. Oh yes, i just need to mention Caleb, he is always up beat, kind, and polite. He also remembers me and my sister's names when we come in there. Keep up the good work:)

Nice spot to visit. Great people. Building a little old and outdated. But the workers made it a great experience..

Neat spot in St. Mary?s that is a coastal sports bar. Nothing special but the food was good and the staff was friendly.

Had a great time enjoying the live band! The service was great and the food/drinks were pretty good!

This place has the best food and service. I was in town for work and I must say this was a great pick. I had fried oysters, collard greens and Mac and cheese. The best fried oysters I've had in a long time and I live on the coast in Florida. The waitress Cara, staff and cook JD lol are top notch!

The band was excellent tonight! One friend had fish tacos she loved them. And the crab soup excellent. One friend had the chicken wrap, she loved it. Both had the sweet potato fries love them. I had shrimp and grits, it was a little more salty than I had preferred but it was ok. Very thick and creamy.

Love the place, service kinda crappy, food was mediocre as would be expected from a place like this. Love the atmosphere, wouldn't say no to going back but..

Great place to hang out. Back porch is best with nice bar. Happy hour in afternoon. Breakfast in the morning. Some music shows on weekends

Can't belive this place....local secret I guess...best food best atmosphere with video games and pool tables an some of the best Shirley temples with a twist of lime u can find in the south

We loved this place! We went 2 different Nights on our vacation had great live music and great food. I loved the shrimp tacos!

Awesome food with outdoor seating, a huge bar, friendly patrons, and lots of evening events each week.

Nice atmosphere! Games are pay per play. Bartender may not know how to make specific drinks but is willing to learn. I will say they will need to work on cross contamination and also pulling their hair up when serving, bartenders hair kept going into a shaker. Shakers were not getting cleaned during drinks and my drink was poured back into a shaker when simple syrup was being added

Nice atmosphere! Hummus and fresh pita chips!

Best Place to Eat in Camden County, welcoming and great food

We've gone there twice they have a great bar on the other side with lots of games and things for you to do they have an outside place for you to sit and eat the food was always good it came out of the kitchen a little bit slow but everybody loved it the shrimp and grits were out the ballpark and don't forget that delicious fried chicken sandwich my husband had the Delmonico steak he loved it my girlfriend had the Philly steak sandwich she liked it to smoked fish dip is good waitress was really good but the

Had my daughter's wedding reception here yesterday. Food was amazing, service was exceptional. Atmosphere was perfect. We all had the best time. Can't thank Chris and all his staff for making this day perfect for my daughter, Son in law and all our guests!! Thank you??

I have my favorites, but don't forget today's special. You just might be surprised in a good way!

Literally just had the best time! My husband and I just got home from a delicious meal and the absolute best Lemon drop martini! Our waitress Ariel (so sorry if I spelled her name wrong) and her sister in law (apologies for not remembering her name...it was the martinis lol) The best service we have received in St. Mary's, hands down, even though my husband told them an embarrassing story of me, they laughed and made us feel like family!!! Will be back for sure!!! Thanks again, girls!!! Yall are awesome

I just want to thank Chris and the whole crew here. Last night we had a huge party here, and the set up of the food for our group and the service was excellent. Special thanks to Kaitlynn for being extra attentive.

We ate dinner here for the first time last night and were very pleased. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We sat outside and listened to live music while we ate. Good atmosphere! We had the lumpia appetizer and chicken bites, both were good and I would def get the lumpia again! I had the crab stuffed mahi with a side Cesar and mac and cheese, both were good, fish seemed a little dry..possibly a little over cooked but still had good flavors. Husband had the special of the night which was fish and colla

This place is a joke! Called to place a pick up order, got Wings, ?Philly Cheese Steak? If that's what you want to call it, tasted like Steak-um, and a kids chicken bite meal. $42.00 down the drain. Called and asked for a refund for the two adult meals, even offered to bring back my food with one bite missing from each and Kaylee, the manager stated she couldn't do a refund because there wasn't anything wrong with it, but could Do, 20% off next time. No thank you, I won't be back! Asked For all flats well d

Our server Courtney was excellent. The food was well prepared and tasty. Prices are about what they should be: figure $20 a person, plus tip. The Angus burger was good, the fries are especially wonderful and crispy and awesome. Crab cake dinner was raved about - lots of crab I guess, she wouldn't shut up about it ??

Food was good the first time I went. Second time, not so much. I ordered the chicken kabobs, and I'm not a fan. Coleslaw isn't good either. Service... we got most of the help from some random woman who was at the bar. I dunno if she war just there on her off day, but she was going and getting silverware and all kinds of other "at work" stuff that the actual girl working was not.

Great food and friendly service. If you are in Saint Mary's give them a try.

Southern River is a great bar, with good american grub, and great service- southern hospitality. The Angus burger is fantastic value. There is no view, but get here and refuel! J

This place is great! My mushroom Swiss burger was amazing! My Mahi was good a few nights ago! The waitresses are phenomenal!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
