Diner Reviews
  • "We had outstanding service from the minute we walked in; the receptionist gave us a large, quiet booth & Toni, our server, immediately showed up at our table, told us the specials, answered our questions. Food came promptly; quality & preparation of seafood (we got scallops & salmon) was excellent & all our special requests were met. Also - nice warm bread, promptly refilled, and to our surprise, terrific desserts: warm bourbon pecan pie with vanilla ice cream - just a hint of bourbon & tons of pecans; also a refreshingly tart Key Lime pie - usually that's overpoweringly sweet. (Re noise level: we were there on a weeknight; probably noisier on weekends.)"

  • "Unacceptable. The pacing of the meal was all off. We waited about 30-35 minutes for our appetizer, bread, and soup. It was another 25 minute wait for our entrees. My fish and chips was passable but my fiance's burger was so burnt that it was inedible. They wanted to "make it right" by making him a new burger to take home. We waited another 15 or so minutes for the re-made burger and when he ate it for lunch the next day - he realized it was just as burnt as the burger he sent back. Completely unacceptable."

  • "Order the Riverside margarita. Best in town. We like them straight up with a little salt. Excellent, real live liquor. Food: My personal favorite is the fried green tomatoes. Tasty sauce complements the tomatoes well. My husband always goes for the loaded potato skins, and I snitch one or two. Seafood is consistently excellent. My friend and I ordered the salmon entrée from the regular menu. Yum. My husband had a salad and topped it with grilled salmon. We keep returning."

  • "My family loves oysters so Thursday nights at Rhetts is the place to be when a dozen oysters are half price. And the other entrees ordered were enjoyed as well: Shrimp Feast, Hamburger, and Seafood Feast. Thank you Rhetts!"

  • "We visited Charlottesville on a recent trip and looked for a good restaurant for dinner using Open Table. Rhett's was near our hotel and was a very nice surprise. We had a wonderful dinner. My husband and I enjoyed the evening's special Rock Fish which was prepared perfectly. Our daughter chose the scallops with Alfredo sauce and she loved it. Our only complaint is that our server was inattentive and never checked back to see if we needed more water or wanted to order anything else. We also waited a very long time to get our check and our appetizer came out with the meal."

  • "I had the rockfish special and it was delicious. My wife had a NY Strip steak and she says it melted in her mouth. The food is always excellent at this restaurant and so is the service."

  • "Not being a chain is a good thing. The food is good, some foodies may find the offerings to be contrived and flat, but I found that the food was good and unpretentious. The meats are cooked well, and dishes are comfortable."

  • "For our first time visiting we enjoyed our visit. It was a little busy and service was slow I assume because of that. We ordered she crab soup and oysters for appetizers. The soup was really good. We really liked the rich flavor!The oysters were big but nothing extraordinary flavor wise. My crab cakes were a little soggy possibly due too the sauce on top. My husband etouffe was not as spicy like he expected. We plan on trying brunch and some other items at lunch."

  • "Don't let the strip mall dissuade you from giving Rhett's a try. Numerous delicious seafood options in this neighborhood eatery. We had the fried oyster dinner (with at least 18 big oysters!) and the fried catfish. Both were excellent and came with ample veggie sides. Portions are large, so try to resist the hot loaf of freshly baked bread that comes out before hand. (If you can!)"

  • "It was the first meeting with acquaintances and we chose Rhetts (a recent discovery). Our waitress was helpful in describing dishes and making recommendations. Our friends really enjoyed their first visit. We were able to sit in a booth which gave us some privacy and we were encouraged to linger. The food was outstanding."
