Top O' The River - Anniston

The catfish is AMAZING! The whole catfish dinner comes with three pieces of fish, hush puppies, and your choice of fries or a baked potato. While they don't offer a lot of side options, the hush puppies are delicious! When you're seated, they bring out a small skillet of cornbread, coleslaw, and pickled onions to start, which pairs perfectly with the appetizer of collard greens—available in large or small portions. And let's not forget the sweet tea—it's always incredibly SWEET! True sweet tea aficionados will know exactly what I mean. I will definitely be returning!

It has been a while since my last visit, and while a few things have changed, the food remains delicious. The prices are quite reasonable considering the generous portions served. The service was excellent, with all the staff being attentive and friendly. We've even driven two hours on several occasions just to eat here. And those pickled onions... wow!

I traveled all the way from Georgia to check this place out because I had heard great things, and I wasn't disappointed! We had a group of 10, and we were seated right away without any problems for my mom's birthday. Everything we ordered was excellent, and our waitress managed our large group effortlessly. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food, but very expensive!! Awesome waiter, and didn't have to wait to be seated. BUT, I'm only giving 4 stars, not due to the food or service, but due to their system failing, and having to wait to pay. First off, they need a better way to havepeople stand in line to pay. As I walked up, I asked where the line was, and got in line. But, several people just walked up andpaid right in front of me, and the cashiers noticed, but said nothing. The only reason I'm bringing this up, is by the time Ireached the counter to pay, the systems had crashed! They told me I couldn't pay with a card, they didn't know how long it wouldbe. I would have to wait. The line got extremely long at this point. After waiting a good while, thankfully, a family member wasthere, paid my ticket in cash, and I was out the door. All that to say ....HAVE A BACK UP SYSTEM TO PAY!! Again, the food wasdelicious, the waiter was awesome! We didn't have to wait to be seated. BUT, have cash to pay....just in case, because thecashier said it's happened before!

I know times are tough but the size of the catfish filets have gotten way smaller than a couple of years ago. Not to mention what kind of fish place doesnt have malt vinegar for the filets? This place use to be a 5 star but seriously the amount of foodyou use to get was worth the 5 stars but now I am reluctantly giving 3 stars. The ranch dressing I had for fry dipping tastedlike straight up mayo in a cup and the honey mustard my husband had for his chicken fingers was just nasty. The imitation crabwas not what you use to get by any means. In order to keep people coming back you have to maintain food quality and I just didntfeel that what we had yesterday was your best quality. Even the jalapeño cornbread was smaller and had less jalapeño in it.After an 1-1/2 drive in from Georgia just to eat here I am sadly very disappointed and probably wont be back.
