Very Bad Experience May 11th, 2005
I too drove the distance for what I thought was going to be a good meal as well as a pleasant dining experience. Boy was I wrong. The food was substandard, and the manager should be an order taker at Burger King. I asked to see the manager and was told, "He is trying to run a restaurant and doesn't have time to talk to you." I will never send anyone their way, and I certainly won't ever return. I can have fish sticks and fries at home and be treated with respect.

Happy 65th Birthday, Yeah Right May 9th, 2005
18 April 2004. An hour drive from my home but my choice of restaurant to have my birthday dinner turned into a unpleasant experience. I asked for the broiled catfish dinner but being on the Atkins diet I did not want the potato so I asked for a salad instead. Answer: we dont substitute.

That was fine with me but I do want a salad and please do not bring out a potato that will just be thrown away. I asked to speak to a manager to clarify my request. The manager would not take the time to see me and told the waiter to substitute this time but "Do not expect this to happen next time you come in". I never asked for a substitute I simply said it was foolish to bring a potato that will be trashed.

As for the next time I come drive to Guntrville is going to be as long as it takes for a 65 year old to forget about the lousy hospitality. Happy birthday to you too.

P.S. Austin, the waiter, was very pleasant and did all he could to please us. [Review originally submitted 20 Apr 2004]

Two Thumbs Up May 9th, 2005
First time in Guntersville and first trip to Top O The River but I'm ready to go back just for the catfish. I've been eating catfish up and down the Tennessee River for the better part of 50 years and this was absolutely the best yet. Crisp, not at all greasy, no "fishy" taste, great views with good service.

At $8.99, the Riverboat Special is a steal for both the quantity and quality of the food. Catfish is the house speciality and I now know why. It's worth the trip. [Review originally submitted 26 Aug 2003]

Thumbs Down May 9th, 2005
Service was great. Atmosphere was excellent. Location is perfect.

Fried shrimp were scarce. Stuffed crab was undercooked. Hushpuppies were too large and doughy in the middle. No Splenda or Equal on the table.

I've always heard that the food in Anniston was excellent. That was not the case in Guntersville.

Just my opinion based on one visit, they may improve over time. [Review originally submitted 05 Jun 2003]
