Well I came back this year and it was a good one, food was fresh and hot this time and the fries were crispy and not soggy and cold like last time 😊. We had a great lunch time. Thank you guys at River Smith's 👍

Fried okra, fried catfish, blackened catfish, clams, whitefish, butterfly shrimp, hush puppies, fries, puffs, sweet tea and red velvet cake. Hubby and I both ordered the trio and shared. Enough for leftovers. Everything was tasty. 😋

Awesome fish place with great food, good prices and a nice atmosphere. This was my first time here. I wanted some fish and Lubbock is pretty slim on options when it comes to fish. If you don't want LJS and don't want pay for over priced food at Red Lobster, you are pretty much out of luck. I did Google search for fried fish and it brought up Rivers Smiths. I decided to try it out and am glad I did. The staff friendly and they give free onion rings to first timers. I had the blackened shrimp and it was amazing. The free onion rings were the best I have ever had. They have a great choice e of teas, like Mango Passion Green Tea and Coconut. My first time here but it will not be my last.

The party room we rented was not what we expected. The 2 tvs were not on, the room looked dusty and not clean. We had to pickup trash and deflated balloons from a previous gathering. We left the room clean. No trash.

The dining experience is always great! The staff are always quick and hospitable when I visit. Sheila always a smile and ready to greet people. Although I haven't experienced the salad bar as maybe it's not operational. Either way, I always enjoy my dining experience.

My wife and I split a combo plate of fried catfish fried shrimp and fried oyster. Fish and shrimp are very good. The oysters were horrible. Normally, I loved fried oysters. I had to spit these out. Everything else was great. I loved the fish and shrimp. The tarter sauce was very good with dill pickle. The cocktail sauce was great with lots of horseradish. Coleslaw was very sweet reminded me of KFC. I will be back, just no oysters for me.lol

Fish restaurant. Food Tastes good. Price reasonable. Ambience great. Staff are cooperative. Waiting time approximately 15/20 minutes. Went there on Friday evening when Music had been performing by professionals. Crowded but convenient.

It's good. They use cotton seed oil. So if you're not used to that, this might not be the place for you. I'm now used to this kind of oil, lived here a long time now. Service and ambiance are good …

chicken was cooked (lol) crunchy and just normal nothing fantastic Catfish needed lots of tarter sauce The instant potatoes were my favorite thing The onion rings not cooked all the way and then cold on top of it Music was the great oldie but goodies

The food here is wonderful - every menu item is terrific! The one & only reason for the 3 Stars is because of the location. It's in the "seedier" side of town. We were approached on the way to & from the restaurant by no less than FOUR TIMES by obvious drug users begging for money. I would NEVER go here without my 6' 290 lb husband!!! Once u get inside, the place is really great - kind of family diner + bar + sports club. I noticed aot of working fellas coming in to eat on their lunch break & it makes sense - it really is a good deal for your money. (Especially these days when everything costs an arm & a leg!!)

Anytime I have a craving for catfish. This is my go to comfort place. The fish is fresh and made to order for a good price but

overpriced and small portions but the food isn't bad if your looking for some fried or country style food.

Good food and reasonable price. Had the chicken fried steak and was not disappointed. I would eat here again if in Lubbock

This long time fried food stop is a little long in the tooth. The only thing really good about it was the cream gravy with he chicken-fried. You can do better.

Went through drive thru and the order was wrong. Should be steak fingers combo. I don't live in town so going back is an even bigger dread. So disappointed 😞

I’ve been here all my life. Riversmith used to be good. I haven’t been here in a while and decided to get lunch at Riversmith today. The food was horrible!!! I don’t know what happened but it was bad! I also ordered the mushrooms and I paid $10 for 11 mushrooms when they used to give so much more when you ordered the mushrooms and they were just as bad!!! Never ever eating here again!!! They have gone down hill!!! 0 stars

Ordered online today. Riversmith’s has really gone down hill. Used to love this place. Fish was soggy. Hush puppies were cold. No longer impressed. We’ll seek other options when looking for fish in the future. I do not recommend any more.

Cashier inside was rude. Bathroom had no paper towels in the automatic dispenser. I honestly didn’t like the paper boxes our food was placed in. I asked for ketchup and only got 4 packets. This was 3 full sized meals. Our order placed online and the time it had for our food to be ready was over 20 minutes later than the time text said. Spent over $40.00.

Extremely disappointed! My husband and I used to be regulars at River Smiths when we lived here, so when we were visiting today, we took the opportunity to have it again. The shrimp tasted dirty, the fries were cold, they even somehow managed to mess up the fried biscuits. It took almost 30 minutes to get our food at 2pm. We left 3/4 of our $40 meal uneaten. I did speak to the manager on duty. He apologized and gave excuses that their oil was changed 2 days ago so there was no reason that anything should have tasted bad. He offered me partial credit even though he knew we didn’t live here. Don’t waste your money on the food or the service! What a sad day that our memories of such a wonderful restaurant were erased with one visit.

Me and my husband were craving fried chicken so we came to Riversmith’s only to be very, very dissatisfied with the employees or kids running the kitchen this evening. Chicken legs still had blood. We asked them to fry longer which they said they did but it came out to us the same way! Like we are dumb and can’t tell that they just kept it warm and didn’t ‘cook’ it longer. The manager was of no help. I guess that’s what you get there nowadays! Very disappointed. If anything, we should have been reimbursed for this terrible experience.

Alissa Ramos

My husband and I decided we would go pickup food at RiverSmiths today expecting for our food to be good as always when we come and now mind you it’s been a while since we came and ate here. Ordered 2 chicken bit dinner with side of cheese balls and fried pickles this was the outcome of my pickles !!!!!! I called and had a conversation with the manager but that was not going anywhere! The little lady at drive thru snatched my husband card out his hand and had a very bad attitude along with the ranch being watery! I don’t know what’s going on with some of these Restaurants but if your not going to have a good team and especially assist to the customers assuring everything is correct and dandy just do everyone a favor and shut down sad to say about this Lubbock classic but it’s no longer how it used to be.
