I stopped into River City slims a couple weeks ago to try something different. My wife and I stopped down there on Tuesday night when they have swing dance lessons and have 1/2 off the 2nd appetizer. There was a pretty decent crowd, a little older and definitely not what you'd expect to see in your "typical" downtown establishment. It definitely reminded me of a tourist spot in another city, like a Senor Frogs or Hard Rock Cafe, but it was nice.
Food was so so. We ordered the small size nachos and the peel n eat shrimp. The nachos were overcooked and the bottom chips were not blessed by the cheese gods, but they were edible because they were baked and not from a microwave. The shrimp were de-veined and easy to peel, greatly appreciated. Nonetheless, they didn't have much flavor to them. Perhaps a little Old Bay seasoning or even salt in the water when boiling them would do the trick.
After the dancing had ended around 10:30 or so, the place cleared out. Literally. Like I mentioned about it not being your "typical" downtown crowd, before we knew it, 40 people had left and we were the last ones, besides staff, left in the place. Not the best feeling as this isn't a cozy place like The Lumberbaron, Bar Divani, or even Bulls Head and Sazerac's.
With out giving too much away, the interior lay-out is best described as themed. Unlike any place in town, it would resemble what you see in casinos in Las Vegas. While not a bad thing if it's busy, it isn't execute well when you're the only one there. I'll definitely go back again, perhaps on a weekend when they have live entertainment and it's busier, but it's different enough from everything else downtown that I recommend you go at least check it out.
