River Shack Tavern Gretna: Reviews & Ratings
Fantastic day. Sitting on the deck watching the Mississippi River, drinking beer. Tried the beignet fries Fantastic ...
Neat biker bar as well as a nice family scene!
Great food in a perfect location. We especially love the breakfast and brunch menu on Saturdays!
My friends brought me here for lunch. The food and service were excellent. There is plenty of seating, and you get great views of the river upstairs. I really enjoyed the fried mushrooms as they were full of flavor and super juicy. Great drink specials, too. I will definitely go back next time Im in the area.
Dropped in to meet a large group of people and the service was topnotch. Food and drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. Great location and setup. Will certainly visit again.
This was my very first time eating here and let me just say that the food here was awesome! Everything was seasoned to perfection. Our waitress Elaina was also amazing, she was so sweet and very very attentive to our needs. Thank you!!!! I would MOST definitely be going here again and will recommend to all my familyfriends ...
