Overall Review 4 of 10
This is a success story gone bad. It has all the making of one of our favorite new places in town: location and atmosphere but just failed miserably on the food.

What We Had 2 of 10
This is our worst review to date, and for good reason. To start, they don’t have real Ice Tea. They do, however, have a limited bar with root beer on tap. The food was miserable. We had a Shrimp Poor Boy sandwich and seafood tacos. The shrimp part of the po boy didn’t exist, but was rather filled with scallops that had their guts still in them. Is that cheaper or something? Gag. My tacos were thus in question thereafter. We actually sent some of it back.

Atmosphere 7 of 10
This is where Rip Tide excels. They have a great location, right on the river mouth in the Third Ward. Take a look
The atmosphere is clearly boating. It is big, clean, and cool inside, with plenty of outside tables and bar room on the river. This would be a great place for a after work drink, or the like.

Other 8 of 10
Parking is no problem here, with plenty on the street or in their lot.
