Welch's Riverside Restaurant

Great food, friendly service, but a bit out of date with the building. I understand it's an older building but it's looked the same for 20 years. The backroom view is great getting to see the boats and barges on the river. The kiddos enjoy that!

Seriously... thank you. Quite simply... LOVED the place! Food is delicious, prices are more than fair, the view is nice, and the staff is awesome! Not only are they rather quick and helpful, but they'll put a smile on your face. I have been there 4 times now, I live 45 minutes away, and I WILL be back often. They should get 6 stars! (Omletes, French toast, biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Club sandwich was an awesome lunch. Can't wait to try more.)

Well it was just so nice! A hometown restaurant with really good food and the dinner portions were much larger than we were used to. I mean, when you get a catfish strips dinner with sides of house salad and potato salad, you expect a small bowl of three item salad and a 1/2 cup of potato salad. My heavens! the potato salad was filling a big soup bowl, and my salad was layers in a big pasta bowl. The catfish was crunchy, sweet, not greasy, and filled a 10-inch plate. Husband had a cheese burger with onion rings piled up. Said it would have been best if they used Duke's instead of miracle whip for the mayo. Oh, we thought we needed a starter, so we ordered fried mushrooms, delicious, but oh so many. Had to bring most of everything home for later. Definitely will be back!

Have been there twice, really good both times. Salad bar looks small but has a big selection, including chicken and tuna salads, enough to make a meal itself. Fried catfish was lightly breaded and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I don't know who supplies their ice cream but it is 'way delicious! And, of course, there is that river view....
