Tim's Rivershore Restaurant Reviews

Food was great. A little turned off watching underage teen servers passing juls around and vaping around the host station in front of customers with children during their shift.

Food was great....crabs came in 10mins. Fried seafood dish came in 45min!!

Crab legs best around! Place needs a bit of a power wash, otherwise such good food and fun place to visit.

I have arrived here both by car and boat. If you're not comfortable with docking your boat on the pier you can anchor and they will send a water taxi out to get you and take you back. The dozen crabs are always worth the money and the sea bites are delicious, nice and tender. The atmosphere is fun and laid back and on the weekends during the summer they frequently have live local bands playing. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the service can get slow on a really crowded day but the staff are always super friendly and helpful.

Food was good. Atmosphere is fun. Nothing fancy. Service was poor. I asked four times for water and it was after my meal that I got a paper cup of water.

I've gone here a lot. It's a nice local place to take out of town guests for some great seafood. The view is lovely. Sometimes, the food is OK...it can be hit or miss. But, because it's a local hidden gem, I really like that they're here in our area. I do recommend you give them a try.

Fun atmosphere, great food, even met my girlfriend here.

Great environment, service needs more cleaning had to fight the ants off my whole meal...food was decent too much salt for my taste.

Gorgeous views, great food, lots of out door seating. Accessible by car, boat, or jet ski. Water taxi for boaters. Tucked away in what seems to be a hidden location and yet always busy. Owner Tim always around chatting with customers and quite personable.

It was not what we expected. Nice warm family feeling spot. Crab cakes were better than we thought. A nice date trip near the water.

The scene is great and service is awesome. It's an experience to have and to really enjoy with friends, family, or a loved one. Highly recommend for one to try good sea food. Only down fall is at night, mosquitos killed my mood to stay.

Great food!!! Our waitress Latisha was professional, polite and funny. Looking forward to going back!!!

The food was delicious and the servers were great. Will go there again. Seen a very good friend working there. Nice seeing you Will

Went with a group of 6 everybody was done with their dinner before my Order of wings came out

Food is great, atmosphere is very cool, but the service was terribly slow, seems more like something is going horribly wrong behind the scenes and there was only about 10 tables here. Maybe half of the kitchen staff and managers called-off today. The server did all he could and was very apologetic, even comped some drinks for us. Maybe it was a fluke but wanted to love this place :(

Wonderful joint with great seafood. Keep it up guys.

Great food and great atmosphere! Service is always slow, so don't be surprised if you have to wait.

One Word (Nasty) people that eat there must be to drunk to know what good seafood taste like like

Cozy seafood place on the water with live music and plenty of places to dock your boat. Reasonable prices and good beer specials too.

Took my wife and kids to this place. The river view is gorgeous. The food is delicious. I especially like their small dishes in lures and nibbles section.

Best hush puppies! One of the best secrets in Northern Virginia.

A little out of the way off the highway but well worth it. Food was excellent. All you can eat crabs came out hot and were delicious. Well worth stopping in for crabs!

Really chill spot, great bar service, good drinks, food is pretty good. Great entertainment

all of the food was extremely salty. I just don't understand why the food is fatally salty at all of seaside bars and restaurants. Calamari was overcooked, very oily. I got digestion problem later on for three hours.

Great food, great atmosphere! Make sure you try their Killer Driller cocktail.

Beautiful Ocean view excellent service, but prices are higher

I waited for over an hour for food, waitress never asked me if I wanted another drink, horrible service. Food was ok, frier needed to be cleaned and oil changed breading was all to dark, but the fish was not over or under cooked. Don't sit outside if bugs like you, and if you don't want to smell fermenting trash. They advertised live entertainment, bonfire, and fireworks but you'll see none of that during you meal you have to go on the other side out the back door for that. Poor setup. No lights on the deck. Was really looking forward to hearing live music but they play something else on the speakers so you either can't hear it or the 2 clash. For a 30 to 50 minute drive for me this was not worth it.

We went at a time when it wasn't busy. We sat outside, socially distanced. The food was great. Our server was super friendly.

Amazeballs view and atmosphere. Kelly was totes cool

Awesome atmosphere! Lived the live music. And the food was good!

Love this place! Been going here for years. Food is awesome and the venue is amazing.

We LOVE Tim's!! The atmosphere is awesome. Food is delicious! We always get the seafood bites and crab legs. Can't go wrong with Tim's!!

Always a great time down at Tim's! Good food, good music, good times!

Something about this place makes it so friendly to eat inside or out. The staff is always making you laugh, people around you make you smile. If you park your boat you can hear the band. It s all around great time

They had a barn fire on the River shore at night it was beautiful.

Friendly service, beautiful view, and solid bar food. Made a great end to a day in the water!!

It was ok. Windows need to cleaned something fierce. The food was ok but not for the price. Clams were small. Oysters had no taste. Steak was not seasoned at all. Hush puppies were overcooked. Best thing there was the mushroom appetizer.

Great place. Food and service is outstanding. Awesome atmosphere

My oysters had alot of salt on them.I did not enjoy my food I did inform my waiter an she said thats how they make them.I didn't complain I paid for my food and gave her a nice tip.Place is so cool drinks were so GOOD.

I have friends who have persuaded me to try Tim's Rivershore restaurant for years. I finally took time to go off the beaten path and was I ever pleased. I love the simple and basic atmosphere. It doesn't feel like a chain and you definitely get the river ambiance with deck side seating. My friend and I picked a Saturday in March when the weather was mild enough to enjoy outside seating. We received quick service from our server, Will, and received our drinks quickly. Since it was our first visit, we labored over what to get because Tim's has a large selection of seafood along with beef, chicken and salad alternatives for guests who don't like fish. My friend went for the Broiled Rivershore Platter that featured a broad selection of seafood. I had the Broiled stuffed Rockfish stuffed with crab meat. Both of us were very pleased. The hushpuppies that came with the meal were cooked perfectly and complimented the broiled seafood perfectly. I had the coleslaw and potato salad because both are made there. The coleslaw is a good match for seafood because it's the tangy kind without mayo. I prefer mine creamier so I wouldn't get that unless you like tangy slaw. However, both of us raved over the homemade Potato Salad. It had a nice creamy texture and a rich flavor that stood up well with seafood. After dining, we decided to go inside for drinks. The bar is shaped like the bow of a boat. It felt a lot like a pub because the curvature encourages socializing. My friend began exploring some of the bold concoctions recommended by the bartender and regulars. I opted to continue with a selection of beers. All the drinks were enjoyable, the beer was served cold and the service was quick and efficient. I highly recommend Tim's if you're looking for the quirky, casual dining experience. This is not a gourmet restaurant and doesn't pretend to be anything more than well cooked food in a relaxed atmosphere. They were going to do a sunset Bonfire on the riverside that night with live music, but we had a bit of a drive and couldn't stay. We are definitely going back to continue sampling the list of house drinks.

Has a Key West vibe. Loved the band & hush puppies!

One of the BEST places to get seafood on the water...and their bacon cheese burgers are

This place is a family go-to when we all get together, amazing food right on the dock and great service

Love this place. We've been going here for years! There is nothing special about the food. The food is ok. But the fact that it is a "Waterfront Hideaway" that you can dock your boat to eat, that makes it special. It has been a waterway destination that we take our friends to, when we are boating on the river.

We came with with wife and kids and it s perfect, nice service with our waitress Laney (very professional) and food taste good, beside to be at the shores!!! Recommend

Good seafood, broiled or fried and drinks, right on the water

Great food,good service,nice folks to talk with. I you go by land traffic is heavy.

Never ate here because the sight is scary. I know don t judge a book but I don t eat books...

Great fun locals place! Good food and great music. Enjoyed the Unfiltered duo this weekend!!!

Tim's is the best summer time treat if you want to relax, have a great meal and great drinks! The crab soup is the best thing there!

You need to get the broiled Rivershore platter. Don't question me. Just do it. Best scallops ever.

Good Rock fish, but the kitchen sent out uncooked Crab cakes for my hubby! So, might not go back another time. Our server was good.

Beer is cold if the waiter can get it to you in time.

Great place for food, drinks and live music. The Reggae band is the best!!!

Ez crus Robert recommended Tim's River it's been 22 years since living there outstanding food and service location is great eating looking at the water

Tim's Rivershore is an awesome way to hang out by the water. You will be treated kindly by not only the staff, but the friendly people that visit the establishment too.

Extremely friendly, great atmosphere, and the good was fantastic

We just find this about this place and are so sad that it will be closing the food was great wish I had found them sooner.

Fun for drinks with friends and live music and great seafood. Service not always good and sometimes it's confusing as to what's open and what's not for what times, etc.

Great seafood restaurant. The food and dessert was amazing and economical.

We went here today for the first time. Mixed opinions. My son said the crab legs were good. Said the jumbo shrimp were the best he had ever had. My grandkids got the shrimp meal. They did not care for the fries. Shrimp were tiny & overcooked. I had a barbeque sandwich. It was good. The food took over an hour to get. My grandkids said it wasn't worth it for food that was just microwaved. Tables were dirty/sticky. Just Ok as far as cleanliness. Parking is terrible. Would we go again? Not sure. LONG wait for The food & pricey. Our waiter was awesome!
