Glad we stopped by here on way back home, nice place to spend some time. The decor is well done and they have an extensive menu to choose food and drinks from. Our waitress, Ren was fantastic! I think the potato skins were the best restaurant quality I have had so thank you for the kitchen staff for that, plus everyone in our group enjoyed their food. It was a treat to find out it was happy hour time for drink specials, but we were not able to catch some live music, which from their signs, they seem to have frequently, so if we lived closer that would be something fun to check out, so I would recommend anyone check out this place whether you are celebrating something or just looking for some hangout time. Truth be told, I think the environment is even great for hanging out solo. Thank you to everyone who made our afternoon a delight.

Tuesday nights at Rum River are a vibe! Karaoke with Cherokee Allyse was a total blast — great energy, great music, and even better company. Don’t skip the Rum Runner, Crab Fries, or Coconut Shrimp — all absolutely delicious! The cherry on top? Watching the sunset over the water. It was the perfect midweek escape. Can’t wait to come back

Rum River Bar & Grill is such a fun and welcoming spot! The margaritas are excellent.The food is always delicious, with generous portions and plenty of options for everyone. What really stands out is how kid-friendly the atmosphere is; it’s relaxed, lively, and great for families to enjoy together.
The live music adds the perfect touch, creating a fun vibe without being overwhelming. Between the great food, drinks, music, and family-friendly environment. Went here for a birthday dinner and we were very happy! Highly recommend!

I don't know what happened to this place but the food is not anything like it used to be. Today I got shrimp tacos. There were 2 tacos. Which was a tortilla and 6 pieces of medium size shrimp on each. That's it! The photo is what the tacos USED to look like. I wish I would have thought to take a picture today. The side was beans and rice, it looked like prison slop. I didn't even touch it.
Appetizers were ok. The menu definitely shrunk. Totally disappointed. Especially because we brought family from out of state. Service was good. I used to go all the time and loved it. Definitely not going back.

Stopped here for lunch. Dog friendly, but there are cats on the premises which didn’t bother our dogs but…? Lunch was good. Mahi BLT was delicious. Burger was cooked to order. Nice views of the Cottee River.
