Steamboat Bill's is no longer open. A sports bar is opening in this location. If / when I visit, I'll write a review.

I always loved going here, but after my last experience, I might skip this one next time. I took my family and the food just was not very good. The gumbo was like gravy, the catfish was muddy tasting, the shrimp etoufee was not good, and the hushpuppies were dry. I think they might have changed owners or cooks, and... More

Everytime I go back home, I always make sure that we eat here. I love the boiled shrimp and the cheese bread. My mom gets the chicken potato and my dad gets the catfish and gumbo. It is all so good, and the service is always great. Their hushpuppies are really good, and I love their shrimp etouffee. I would... More

The food here is really a good catch - fresh from the Bayou every week. I am not a seafood lover (or river, lake or bayou food lover either, for that matter), but my wife and friends are, so I love going to places that server food that formerly swam and see what is on the menu that I like.... More

We had red beans and rice, the chicken and sausage gumbo, the catfish plate and sampler called the first mate. For starters, the gumbo was amazing. Spot on spices. Red beans were nice, no heat but Louisiana fixed that. The 3 piece catfish plate is a steal at 12 bucks. I could only eat two pieces after the gumbo. About... More

The service is wonderful. The staff take the time to get to know their customers and learn their names. The food is authentic Cajun. I traveled and worked in southern Louisiana for several years and never found a restaurant any better than Steamboat Bill's. My husband and I love the food. The crawfish is wonderful. The crab legs are great... More

We have eaten here quite a few times but this visit was very disappointing to say the least. After arriving at 5:30pm my husband ordered an entree of red beans and rice but was told they would not be ready for another hour. I ordered the catfish which was good but only comes with a small plastic cup of coleslaw... More
