It's your dive bar kinda seafood fried, grilled, or blackened. Flavor was a bit lacking on the special for a higher price point. My biggest peeve of any restaurant is always rice. Get a dedicated rice cooker and serve real rice. The pilaf tastes like boil in a bag. Staff was amazing though. I'd return and simply order something else. I'd probably have enjoyed the shrimp better.Parking: Your shoes will get dirtyKid-friendliness: Great spot for kiddos

Parking lot leaves a lot to be desired, not the easiest place to get in and out of, even with a small SUV. Food is worth it though! We all had surf and turf, and prime rib and new york strips all cooked to perfection as were the shrimp! Prices no worse than big chains and the portions are big, so I feel like it is worth the prices. It's a little bit of a dive, but those usually are the best and this one hasn't been disappointing yet! Just park carefully!

My wife and I decided to have dinner at JC's Riptides to try their Prime Rib and Rock Shrimp. Despite advertising both of these meals as house specialties, the prime rib was so, so, and the rock shrimp, nonexistent. The restaurant is in desperate need of repair, and the atmosphere is unimaginative. Our waitress was attentive to our dining needs, but one couldn't help but notice a lack of enthusiasm with her station. All things considered, we won't be back.Darryl & Christy

Never disappointed with the menu. Fresh ness is the key and they have it down pat. I'd recommend it to anyone

This was our first time visiting as we live out of town and we enjoyed our food and service. We did not have reservations which are recommended but were fortunately there early enough to get a seat. We were greeted immediately by the and by our server. There is an early bird menu along with their regular one plus a full bar. I had the grilled scallops which were tasty. They were served with a hushpuppies, choice of a side and a salad. I thought the prices were reasonable as was the portion size. It's a popular local place and I would return.

The service was outstanding,the food was excellent , the atmosphere was very nice. I had the feeling of being with family and was checked on many times to ensure my order was correct and the taste was as I expected! I cannot say enough good things about JC Riptides and our server "Trish"!!

Recently dined at JC Riptides. I had the Prime Rib Early Bird. Reasonably priced. Great flavor. Service was excellent. Our server Heather was right on point. Next visit I'll make sure Rock Shrimp are in season. We enjoyed our dinner and will def return.

I'm not in the habit of giving an overall bad review, but this was by far the worst meal I have ever eaten. We heard that Riptides was a phenomenal resteraunt from so many! To my dismay it turned out to be awful. My husband and I have date night once a week and were in the mood for Prime Rib. To begin my meal I ordered a salad, simple enough but difficult for them apparently, mostly core iceberg lettuce that tasted like none of the vegetables had been washed. It had a gritty small slice of tomato, and 2 cucumber slices that were bitter, just not good at allAlthough I only took 2 bites out of my Prime Rib it looked like I ate more because of all the grit and fat and chewing it was like chewing stale gum. The black pile of muck on my plate I'm assuming was supposed to be the seasoned rub for the meat, and there was an overwhelming taste of liquid smoke. Server was nice but, after asking us if there was anything else she could bring us when dropping off our plates, I could only say malt vinegar for my husband's fries and ketchup, before she took off, I also was going to order a glass of unsweetened tea and needed more butter for my potato. (Baked Potato was good) Overall atmosphere was pleasant and others seemed to be enjoying their meals of fried fish and seafood. I didn't complain paid our bill and brought a to go box home. No need for me to ruin everyone else's night over a bad meal! Needless to say iffy on 2nd chances when the simplest of dishes (salad) isn't prepared properly.
