Tried this place out for anniversary dinner. We weren't seated until about 30-40 minutes after our reservation time of 8 pm, which was kind of a bummer. Our server's demeanor seemed to change when we didn't order alcoholic drinks or appetizers. The seafood platter was excellent. We got the one with lobster, king crab, Dungeness crab, and shrimp. Not the most friendly and welcoming dining experience, but the food was great. I'd go back and give the staff a second chance. read more

I'm furious. We celebrated with friends tonight, and had planned on using a Visa gift card from our daughter to pay our portion. Only to be told AT CHECK OUT TIME that they don't accept Vanilla Visa gift cards. This, in my opinion, is something that should be transparent from the time you walk in, not after you've spent over $100. Just wish we had gone elsewhere. read more

The Jourdan River Steamer is our go to place for special occasions. When our son or other relatives are in town, this restaurant is our go to place to show off what the Coast has to offer for food, service and ambiance. We had 6:30 reservations last night and once again, we were not disappointed. We were waited on by Jay and he was fabulous. One in our party ordered the special and it was spectacular. The steak was perfect, the appetizers were great and their signature salad dressing was amazing. Go to the Jourdan River Steamer. Get the appetizers, get the drinks, get the specials, get the deserts. read more

This place is a definite must try!!! Parking is limited and tight, so if your a large group, carpool. There are seats outside, but you have to take the stairs/elevator to the second level. The inside was nice and cozy, even the seats at the bar, which is where we sat. Comfortable the entire time. Reservations are required. We went on a Saturday and the place was packed!!! We chose the bar. Our server/bartender Chris was AMAZING!!! Very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made some great recommendations. He was on top of it every step of the way in spite of having a crowd. We never had to ask for anything. We started with the drink special, a Crown Peach Basil Smash. Great flavor, very light, not overpowering, and all the elements paired well. It was the special of the day, so I don't know if it's available daily. We started with the Hot Crab Dip appetizer. It came out nice and hot. It was creamy with plenty lump crab meat. It was served with a combo of bread and a wafer/crackers. We then moved to the Mambo Combo of shrimp, snow and Dungeness crab. If you're a seafood lover, I don't recommend sharing this one. But we were just tasting and wanted to have room for our entrees. All of the seafood was well seasoned. It came with potatoes, a corn, and butter to dip. The shrimp were cooked well, came right out of the shell. So did the snow crab. The Dungeness was a bit dry, but still tasty. For our entrees, my friend had one of the specials of the day, the Triple Tail Fish in a lemon butter sauce, served with Au gratin potatoes and mixed veggies (zucchini, squash, red peppers, and onions). The fish was tender and meaty, not fishy. And the sauce was not overpowering like some lemon sauces. She doesn't eat red peppers and they were nice enough to remove them from the veggie combination. She loved it! I had the petite filet topped with the "Kadobster it" topping (lump crabmeat and shrimp with seafood stuffing). My temp was medium and it was cooked to perfection. Rarely do restaurants get it right, but this was spot on. The meat was well seasoned and moist. When I took my first bite, I was speechless. That steak was like butter, melted in my mouth. I probably could have cut it with a spoon. The topping was full of seafood and an added bonus. It could have been a dish by itself. It also came with a marrow sampling too. Overall, it was a great experience. I WILL be back and I definitely recommend. read more

This was above expectations! The server was fabulous. His recommendation was spot on! We made a reservation to celebrate a birthday. The food was incredible No one walked away hungry or disappointed. I would highly recommend having a relaxing meal at this location. read more

Great atmosphere, service, and food!! I recommend reservations as they were incredibly busy at 4:30. Our server Bernie was the best!! Might want to bring a heavy wallet, but the price matches the quality. Fish was cooked perfectly, moist and not over seasoned. Crab legs were cooked perfectly and the shells came off easily. We all had the Steamer Cocktail, while pricy, it is understandable as it has Shrimp, lump crab, and caviar. One of my top seafood restaurants! read more

Overpriced and poor quality. This place lives on false hype and the fact that it is the only restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The server we had was very nice but that's where my positive review ends. Plain and simple the food is not good. The food is bland and the menu is unimpressive. In top of it all, the manager is rude and snooty- he caters to some regulars while ignoring everyone else. Save your money or if you must, go buy frozen crab legs in the grocery store because there wouldn't be any difference. read more

Food was pretty good, but for the price, I'd hope so. I had the filet, which was excellently prepared. It was weird to have a beef bone on the plate, but my waiter was nice in explaining how to eat bone marrow. He was also nice enough to help crack our crab legs. read more

Food was great, a little pricy but if you want to treat yourself to a great meal, this is your place

This establishment opens at 4:00. We walked in exactly at 4:00 along with a lot of others. It seems you need a reservation for this place on Saturday night. We wondered if we would get seated. Thankfully we did. We sat at a high top in the bar. Our waitress was Jennifer and she was awesome. She recommended an appetizer called Hella of a Bella. It was not something I would have chosen myself but I am so glad we took her recommendation. It was awesome. I loved the flavor of the marinated portobello. I had steamed Royal Reds and they were perfectly cooked. Hubby had a red snapper fish special which had asparagus and hollandaise sauce. He is still talking about how good it was. If you are in the area this restaurant is worth a visit but plan head and make reservations. read more

Jourdan River Steamer is dishing out high quality boiled/ steamed seafood! So good that it's always worth the 45m drive ! The impeccable service is to be noted. Hot Crab Dip ($17) sprinkled with a little tobasco hot sauce is a great starter to share. I recommend the Charboiled Oysters ($10 for 6) too. King crab, snow crab, Dungeness crab.. I mean, whatever crab you want, they got it. Crabs for everybody! Get the royal reds also. Fresh seafood, right amount of seasoning, and all the butter you need. Jourdan River is known for their fresh seafood. However, the ribeye ($54) is excellent. It's cooked to your liking and served with veggies. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll get some bone marrow too. *drools* read more

My wife and I went for my birthday dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the seafood was excellent. We started with the Smoked Tuna appetizer. The tuna was very good, but should be served with something other than Tostitos - the saltiness if the chips overwhelms the smokey flavor. We used the roast that came with the salads and it was much more flavorful. The Love Boat seafood platter for two was amazing. A ton of well prepared seafood - from shrimp to three types of crab - more than we could eat, so we get to enjoy it again at home! We finished off the meal with triple layer chocolate cake and key lime pie. Great ending to an awesome experience. Highly recommended. read more

Date/time: Saturday, June 4th, 4pm First impressions: Would not have taken this place for an upscale type restaurant. The ambiance is more touristy and casual. Host/hostess: Hostess stand was further in from the entrance from what we originally thought was the hostess stand. Was caught off guard a little. However she was nice. Our table: Was tucked away in a little section so it was rather quiet which was nice Our server: Jay - great server, nice and friendly Our meal: EVERYTHING we ordered was seasoned well, well-prepared and tasted better than expected! No complaints whatsoever. Cost: $30-60/person What's great/unique: Water view tables available What could improve: Would assume most patrons may not be local as we were and would not have known reservations are needed to get the best view. Luckily we came when they opened so we got a table without a water view. Tips: Reservations recommended but walk-ins taken if space is available. Most of the reservations take up water view tables. The food is really good but can be a bit pricey. We ordered 2 cocktails, smoked tuna appetizer, cup of gumbo, ribeye steak, seafood pasta - total ticket including tip roughly $165 for 2 people. read more

This was my first visit since the rebuild, my first impression was very good. We were celebrating my Dad's birthday and this was his pick. The restaurant is built elevated off the ground, the last restaurant was lost due to river flooding. But luckily there is an elevator or a lighted staircase to get you to the 2nd level. Upon walking in, I was taken back by the live lobster held in the huge tank. They had some huge ones to choose from. Ship like port holes are located above the tank, showing you a view of the were the magic happens in the kitchen. Then a second after that was the huge, warm welcome by a few of the staff members that was given to our group of 4. I felt like a King walking down the aisle and honestly I didn't expect this, it took me by surprise. We were seated promptly and greeted by more staff and the owner. Once food menus were handed to us, we were told about the soup special of the day. We had a question about if the soup was spicy or not, one minute later the waitress bought us a sample to try out. Again top notch service!!! The steamer special was a pound of royal red shrimp with new potatoes, corn, and a side salad all for only $11.95. We ordered a hot crab dip appetizer and a couple cups of soup and 4 special platters. Before the food is served, the staff will put bibs on you and deliver the scrap buckets that attach to your table, both nice touches. Everything came out in order and we were not rushed, we were politely asked if we were finished with our salad plates before there were removed. The display of the food on the plates is shocking once delivered to the table. Very much picture worthy, see all the pictures posted on Yelp and Facebook. The head-on royal reds were steamed perfectly, had an excellent flavor, and were easy to peel. The corn and potatoes were not mushy like other restaurants. We were offered dessert, but was too stuffed to eat anything else. The creme brûlée looked excellent, maybe next time! Another nice touch shortly after that, stainless bowls were delivered to the table with warm water and lemon to help get the seafood smell off your hands. Everything about this visit was perfect from the ease of parking, the very attentive staff, food, and views of the Jourdan River. While walking out, we walked through the bar area, which had that wow factor...Cool place all together! Bathrooms were clean. Nicely done...thanks for giving my family a nice dinner. We will visit again and maybe try one of the larger platters for 4 or 8 (menu picture posted). They definitely take pride in customer service. I highly recommend, so go enjoy the experience the Jourdan River Steamer has to offer!! read more

The atmosphere and staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive to any drink or food needs/ questions we had. Their was a king crab stacker appetizer special, which was phenomenal. I love the thin crostini crackers they give with it, much different than traditional crostini and doesn't take away from the flavor of the crab. For the entree my family ordered the Poseidon to share, and let me say this was some of the BEST crab I have ever tried. The crab, shrimp, potatoes and corn was cooked and seasoned beautifully without being overly spicy. The platter came with 2 lobsters which were not cooked properly in my opinion and the texture was quite rubbery and not quite right. Even the flavor of the lobster was a little off. This was disappointing as the price of the platter was well over $300, but the amazing crabs and everything else that came with it were truly phenomenal. I also really appreciated that this facility was handicap accessible and had an elevator for one of my family members. Overall, I would come back again- just not for the lobster read more

We went to old town Bay St Louis on a busy weekend. The particular place we ate lunch was grossly understaffed, for whatever reason... For what it cost us to eat lunch (with unnecessary irritation for the length of time for our food to be delivered) we were stoked to sit at the bar at the JRS... Best food, best service!

Love this place. First time I went was with my work crew for our Christmas party. We had a blast and they kept bringing out platters of seafood which we gladly overindulged ourselves. Second time I went was on the Saturday before Father's Day for my husbands first time. They do not accept reservations and I was prepared to wait a while. We ended up waiting an hour and 10 minutes for a table. We ordered the charbroiled oysters for starters and one of the platters--I don't remember the name. We were treated very well and our waiter was very attentive. We spent a couple of hundred dollars and it was worth every penny. We love this place and will continue to come back every chance we have an extra $200-300 laying around!! read more
