Steamboat Bill's DeRidder, LA

"The food was terrific! It was fresh made as we ordered. I had the seafood platter. Now I'm a big guy and I couldn't finish it. Everything was cooked perfectly. I love oysters and they were perfect. They also have a full line of beer on tap. There's plenty of parking outside. They have a huge parking lot. The staff greeted me and sat me quickly. My waitress was very nice. Overall it was a great experience. It's a little pricey tho. And you figure for the money the atmosphere would be a lot better. But hey the food was good!....lol"

"Steamboat Bill's is one of my favorite places to eat. The seafood is always fresh and tasty, and the service has been great every time I've gone. The menu isn't very big, but I still find plenty I enjoy. They also have a bar and a fridge with desserts."

"First time dinning at Steamboat Bill's and I must say, they didn't disappoint. The quality of the food was amazing and seasoned perfectly; definitely not bland. It's a little pricey to dine here but you get so much on your plate that you'll be asking for a to-go box for your lunch tomorrow. The staff were all very friendly and professional. There were plenty of dining areas and it never felt overcrowded or too loud. There was also a bar area that was in a side room that was playing music. Since it was separate from the dining area, there was no problem at all enjoying our meal in peace and quiet. Overall this is definitely a great place to visit if you're in the area."

"It was very good. And soo much food. I had the captains platter, and Dear Lord! It took me 3 days to eat it. The server was super sweet, and stayed on top of everything. Refills, any extras... nothing was overlooked or missed. As always when I tell you about a restaurant, the food can be magic, but if the service is lacking then the experience is not good. This food was incredible. But the server made the dinner exceptional."

"I really enjoy this place. The food is good and surprisingly after ordering a whole meal for me and another for my wife with 2 appetizers and 2 20oz beers for myself we only blew 70 bucks for a date night not including the good tip we left. The service was great, the waiter we had checked up on us around the clock and the food didn't take long at all. Music was laid back and the place wasn't so cold you wouldn't feel uncomfortable in shorts but also wouldn't sweat in a long sleeve. Really liked the lighting and spacious interior. The food is great, it was honestly reaaally good and if you wanted more seasoning there was some in the little stack of napkins and such. Again came out quickly and well cooked nice and hot. Personnel thing I dislike is how they always seem to be out of oysters when I show up but that's just bad timing on my part which I understand so I still gave 5/5 stars. All in all me and my wife have gone twice for date nights and it's just a really good place, plenty of food too to fill ya, you won't go hungry with their servings. Highly recommend."

"Friendly staff, food was awesome, parking, good prices"

"Such a beautiful place with lots of authentic collection that represents its name.... Most of its staff seem somewhat kind but not very eager to assist/ please. The bathrooms were sorta clean enough and could be better stocked. I'd imagine the manager surely just hadn't been able to check up on the simpler yet critical areas that keep consumers coming back. It took a very long time for our food to arrive and it was obviously not brought out immediately when set on the ready order placement. Guess we didn't go on a good day. I've managed as well as worked every position in many Family Oriented Louisiana Restaurants and know how critical it is to work as a Team and keep it fun amongst one another. Work is difficult enough without making it and harder. So this restaurant has the potential to be a GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE and it likely is on other days, but when a crew works in clicks....the confusion will show up in several negative ways."
