    Half & Half $19...  SO GOOD!!!
    Winnie W.

    AH-MAZ-ING! Such a warm local bar with great, friendly and efficient service. Their food is so good, and at reasonable prices for the area. For our 4-Days trip, we ate here for two days!! Trust me - their Lobster Bisque is a must get. Unlike many restaurants where "lobster bisque" is more like "lobster flavored heavy crème"... Steamhoise Lounge's Lobster Bisque is loaded with lobster meat and perfectly flavored soup, and not too salty. (Yes; saltiness is my pet peeve as many restaurants masks their flavorless food with loads of salt) The oysters in their raw bar are "fatty" with a hint of ocean saltiness. Their peel and eat shrimp is fresh and crunchy... oh so good!! And finally - I love their Fisherman's Stew.., again, the dish is perfectly seasoned with super fresh seafood. SO GOOD!!!! A must try spot for your visit to ATL.

    This one is for the real seafood lovers! Atlanta offers a lot of fancy seafood restaurants with all the frills but Steamhouse reminds you of a real beachfront seafood restaurant. It's a super casual environment with a bar inside and they also have outdoor seating on the rooftop. I ordered their lobster bisque that they are supposedly known for and I definitely see why! I ordered the cup size but I should've gotten the bowl. When I say it was absolutely delicious! Omg. And it wasn't a cutesy lobster bisque with only one piece of lobster. It was very meaty and flavorful. Definitely a must try if you visit. I also ordered the cheese toast along with it to dip it in. For my entree, I ordered the crab legs. Loveddd! I had been craving crab legs that wasn't one of those overly seasoned boil bags that you get from other restaurants and these were perfect. Just fresh crab with butter on the side. Everything was perfect and delicious.

    Dozen Raw Oysters
    Dee-Dee W.

    This was my first time here and I had a really good time. When you walk in, you seat yourself. Menus for food and drinks are already at each table. There's also a bar top if choose not to do a table or booth. A server greeted me pretty quickly after I sat myself and asked if I wanted anything to drink. I started with water while I was looking at the menu. I went on a Wednesday meaning they have a daily special that day of a dozen raw oysters for $15 and half a dozen grilled for $10. So I started with a dozen raw and got the appetizer of crab stuffed shrimp. It was AMAZING. The oysters were a good size and very meaty. Not skimpy at all. The shrimp were super good and came out steaming hot. I was split on getting a burger or Po boy. The server convinced me to do the burger instead saying they were really good and he wasn't wrong. I also got an IPA beer. My bill came out to $52. The biggest thing I didn't like is that they don't have beer on draft and I felt my server could've been a little more attentive. I also did street parking which worked just fine for me. I'll be back tho. There's more I want to try off this menu.

    Nice little seafood hideaway downtown midtown was a nice surprise. The oyster sampler was my meal of choice. Of the three types of oysters served, the Danielle Oysters were my favorite. Crispy fried and topped with an aioli finish. All of the oysters were a nice size and satisfying. The chopped salad was big and full of chopped bacon, tomatoes and ranch dressing tossed in. This little Eatery and bar offers outdoor seating as well.

    Char-Grilled Oysters

    Came to Steamhouse Lounge for their Wednesday special. We were told to sit wherever we wanted, and there were plenty of tables available on the lower level, second floor, and outside. I walked here, so I can't speak on the parking situation, but it didn't look too busy outside (around 7 PM). Vibes inside were pretty nice and casual. FOOD: The Wednesday special is a great deal, where a dozen raw oysters are $15 and a half dozen char-grilled oysters are $10. Raw Oysters (4.5/5) - I have to preface by saying that I am not usually a fan of raw oysters; however, I thoroughly enjoyed the ones here. They were mild in flavor and tasted fresh. There are plenty of hot sauces available at the table to dress up your oysters. The platter of oysters also comes with horseradish and cocktail sauce. I must say I really enjoyed the oyster and horseradish combo. Char-Grilled Oysters (4/5) - Grilled with a garlic parmesan coating. It was nice, but I actually preferred the raw oysters! Not overcooked. Lobster Bisque (3.25/5) - Creamy and pleasant, but I don't think I could eat a lot of it. I'm glad I only got a cup of it to share. Claimed to be "Atlanta's BEST for 25 years," so I had to try. First experience eating a lobster bisque, but the chunks tasted more like imitation crab? Probably would skip if I returned here. SERVICE: Service was pleasant, but not super fast. Getting your order taken took a hot minute, but once that was out of the way, you got your food pretty fast. TLDR// I would come here every Wednesday if I lived in Atlanta because the oyster specials are such great deals. Can't speak on any other menu item, but you can't beat the price on Wednesdays.

    Lobster bisque, hush puppies, and crab stuffed shrimp
    Kristy T.

    Sat at the bar and had a great experience. Casual atmosphere and the bartender was friendly and polite. The service was fast and the food was delicious. I had a cup of the lobster bisque, the crab stuffed shrimp, and some hushpuppies. Everything was good, but the shrimp were my favorite of the three. Decided to order a slice of chocolate cake to go. I was thinking I would eat some today and save some for tomorrow. It was so good I gobbled it all up. The fresh made whipped cream made that decision easier. (I did note the nachos that the person next to me ordered. Although I obviously can't tell you how they tasted, the serving size was huge. I would probably get that if I go back.)

    Great service and casual ambiance. I had a shrimp basket, tried the fried oysters and hush puppies. Everything was great. I like that they season their batter so it's not bland. My son had a hotdog and he said it was delicious. 5/5

    Lobster Bisque
    Simone S.

    Early Sunday lunch. It was self seating so hesded up to the patio to see my favorite server Juan who thankfully was working. We started with a light cocktail and I had the lobster bisque which is a must try. Creamy and delicious with bits of lobster throughout. We then had the crabmeat melt after a short detour to an inside table as it was starting to drizzle. The sandwich was full of crab, gray cheese pull with a bunch of crispy fries. This is a great spot to people watch and get a nice meal. Portions are good and pricing reasonable. If Juan is working, sit in his section. He'll take great care of you!!

    Lobster Roll & Cup of Bisque
    Tunicia W.

    Went here for a quick dinner after drinks because food was needed. Sat at the bar and ordered the lobster bisque and lobster roll. First of all, as an Atlanta native, I am ashamed that I knew of this place but have never patronized it. The lobster bisque was divine! It actually had meat in it (which is rare, trust me) and the portion was just enough. The lobster roll was just okay. I probably needed to fix it up some more but it was good for the moment. Service was quick and friendly. Steamhouse is more like a dive bar so do not come here expecting fancy. But the food is delicious!

    Sweetwater IPA
    Courtney P.

    Stopped by got lunch. Parked across the street at the LAZ parking lot, street parking was completely full on a Sunday afternoon. I got a local beer, Sweetwater IPA. It was in a can, no draft ;( It was hoppy & light so it was just what I wanted! 7/10 I got a half dozen raw oysters. Came with the standard enhancements of lemon, saltines, cocktail sauce (with horseradish in the middle??) & some Tabasco for you on the side. The oysters were pretty mild in flavor, not too watery. There were some shell in about 3/6 oysters that made me hesitate each time I ate one, but overall nice in size & quality! 6/10 The cup of lobster bisque was really good! I saw on the menu that they're rated for being the best for about 20 years. There was a lot of lobster meat & the soup itself was really creamy. 8/10 The bartender was cool. A lot of regulars came in & he looped me into conversations with them. They were cool too. Pretty chill atmosphere. Apparently there's an upstairs? I didn't make it that far lol

    Lobster bisques soup
    Kien H.

    I was out around in the city and I happy to be a couple minutes away and I wanted to check it out because it's been quite some time since I've been there. If you go you'll have plenty of seats and plenty of areas to sit because they have an upstairs and an outside as well as the inside. When you get there you have to worry about street parking so just keep that in mind. Or in a parking structure is also an option, but there isn't any free parking around so just keep that in mind. It'll come in and you'll see the bar and seats inside. It's a dive bar, kind of vibe, nothing shiny and new, but it gets the job done. There's plenty of TVs somewhere around so if you wanted to go ahead and watch a game you could definitely do it out as well. Any apple bar so you can just set the bar and drink if you didn't want to eat anything. But why would you come here if you didn't want to eat LOL? I had already had a couple of drinks so I actually only came for food and the food was okay. The bartender was really cool as she served the food at the bar top. We actually had a decent conversation, good customer service. Lobster bisque - The lobster bisque was really good. It had a lot of meat in it, they did not skimp on that at all. I only got a small cup but I probably could have knocked down a bowl of it easily. Very creamy and savory. Fries - The fries or french fries but they were good and they were very hot and crispy. Crab cake - The crab cake was okay. It It was breaded and crispy on the outside. And do you sit on the inside. It definitely had a little bit of flavor but nothing I would write all about. Instead of making it fluff up with crab meat, they kind of flattened it out and it look like a croquette kind of. Came with kind of a sweet chili sauce I assume, and coleslaw. Actually really, the lemon squeezed over. It was just fine. Grilled garlic Parmesan oysters - The oysters were pretty good. They weren't super large but they were pretty good in flavor though. If you want some dinner was some nice dive seafood vibes, this will be a pretty good spot to check out.

    I was visiting a friend and we decided to go across the street to grab something to eat. Service: no wait time, and the service was great. Our server was kind and attentive. Ambience/Crowd: family friendly casual place to eat. Food/drink : 5/10 the food was ok, could've used more seasoning and I wish the lobster in the bisque was not imitation Will I be back? Yes I would, they have a wide variety of food.

    Lobster Roll & Cup of Bisque
    Shaleah D.

    We stopped by Steamhouse Lounge and tried the lobster roll and the Cajun pasta with blackened salmon. The lobster roll had big chunks of lobster and was the highlight of the meal. The bisque on the side was creamy with a generous amount of lobster. The pasta was creamy with a nice Cajun flavor that paired well with the blackened salmon. The vibe is laid back and casual, and they have valet parking which was super convenient. The service was friendly and the food came out fast and hot.

    How long a wait?

    No wait when we sat down immediately

    Is the restaurant Pet friendly?

    I believe the lower level outdoor patio is pet friendly but the last 2 times I've gone the patio has been closed. There's an outdoor deck area upstairs. I don't believe it's pet friendly because you have to enter the restaurant to access that area.

    Are we able to dine in? Or is it take out only?

    You can currently dine in here, and they offer outdoor seating as well!

    Cant wait to trip this place in a few months. Anybody name you three favorites?

    Not three but...Lobster bisque is to die for. 100% get that. You will not regret it
