Hall's On The River - Winchester

I adored the location and wish it had been warmer so we could enjoy the deck by the creek. My wife and I chose this spot for our anniversary dinner, and we're definitely planning to return in late spring to dine outside. I ordered the catfish with coleslaw, fries, and hush puppies, while my wife opted for the ribs with coleslaw and a baked potato. For dessert, we shared a cheesecake topped with raspberry sauce, and it was all absolutely delicious. The catfish was perfectly fried and came in a generous portion, while the ribs were tasty with a wonderful BBQ sauce. The raspberry sauce on the cheesecake was simply fantastic.

We started with the spicy beer cheese and a pretzel as an appetizer. For my main course, I ordered the beer cheese burger and fries. I really enjoyed the beer cheese appetizer, especially since our server offered to warm it up slightly to make the cheese easier to dip. My burger was enormous, and they managed to serve our group of nine quickly during lunchtime.

I didn’t take many pictures because I was too busy having a great time. Our waitress was new, but she was an absolute sweetheart and did an excellent job. Everyone there was really friendly. The food was fantastic! I had the sloppy Joe drink, and it was incredible—definitely recommend trying it!

Food was very good, atmosphere was great, however service was not very good. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but when my glass is empty that's where I start changing my opinion. We could see our server on the deck serving other tables and she wasdoing good for them, but we had to have other waiters get us a refill, and ketchup. This would have been a 5 star review but Ihad to deduct for service. The prices are on the expensive side, which is typically no issue as long as the food and service andatmosphere warrant it. Also if using debit or credit you will be hit with a 4% surcharge. I do not enjoy leaving negativereviews, however I want to give a truthful review.

Husband and I went to Halls today because he has never been. We both got the catfish dinners. Mine was disgusting and disappointing. The fish was soggy and mushy. The Cole slaw was too tart and tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for along time. The catfish dinners cost $18.99 a plate. I didn't even eat 1/4 of mine. It just didn't taste right. Our appetizerswere okay. He ordered the beer cheese and veggies. I ordered the large order of Banana peppers with cocktail sauce. The pepperswere good. The sauce was not. It tasted like someone had mixed it with fish. Our desserts were also disappointing. He orderedthe cheesecake. I ordered the blackberry cobbler. I asked for the ice cream to be on the side because it takes away from theblackberry taste if they are mixed. When she brought my plate, it had huge scoop of vanilla ice cream on it on top of a tinyspoonful of cobbler. smh. So very disappointing! We spent $99.00 on a meal that wasn't worth even $15.00! Halls is definitelyNOT like it use to be of yesteryear...... and it's extremely sad.
