Staying in Hammond in mid-September, a coworker mentioned this spot so we both trekked down south…read moreto check it out. We got here around 8ish in the evening and it was raining so not many people here. So we propped up at the bar and ordered. I was in a martini mood so Gin martinis were my calling; they made them the way I like: slightly dirty w/ extra olives. I can't remember how many of those I ordered but they went down smooth. I didn't want to order anything heavy so I decided on the Brussels Sprouts and a cup of the Chicken/Andouille Gumbo. The Brussels were crispy and had a nice soy glaze to cap it off. They garnished it with some peeled scallions which gives a nice finish. I'm a sucker for Brussels Sprouts; if they're on the menu, I'm very likely gonna order them. The gumbo was pretty good, had a tomato richness to it. I forgot what my friend ordered; probably cause I had too many martinis. It's about a 10-15 minute drive from Hammond but it's worth it. Check it out when you're in the area!

5 Stars -- Incredible food, generous portions, and the BEST desserts!…read more We came in with a big group -- kids, grandkids, the whole family -- and we were blown away by how good the food was across the board. We started with the fried boudin balls and crispy house-smoked bacon. Both were delicious and packed with flavor. We also shared a bowl of red beans & rice, and even my one-year-old grandson devoured it (and wore a good portion of it on his face!). The brunch board was a huge hit -- such a fun assortment of waffles, pancakes, pastries, fruit, sausage, bacon, and more. Truly something for everyone, and perfect for sharing. For mains: * I had the Trout Almondine with cheese grits -- and those grits were honestly the BEST I've ever had. Creamy, cheesy, and perfect. * My daughter ordered the ribeye and loved it. * My husband had a burger and cleaned his plate. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. We weren't disappointed in a single item. And then... the desserts. Oh my goodness. We tried the cheesecake, pecan pie, and bread pudding. The cheesecake was the best I've ever had, and my daughter agreed. The pecan pie tasted like something straight out of a grandmother's kitchen -- my husband said it was the best he's ever had. The bread pudding was rich, warm, and equally delicious. The staff was friendly and patient with the kids, which made the evening stress-free and fun. Bottom line: we loved everything -- from appetizers to dessert -- and we will absolutely be back!

How the mighty fall. Mariner's Inn used to be one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in Hammond…read more Apparently the restaurant has changed hands, and the new direction it has taken disappoints me. The sports bar aspect of the business has been emphasized and the food quality diminished. The food isn't bad, but it's certainly not the standout it used to be. For example, the hamburger steak entre I ordered was okay, but it was $12 for the patty covered in gravy and mushrooms, one side, and "garlic bread." My side was plain rice - no extra brown gravy on it, despite my request - and the garlic bread strips were small. I suppose everything these days is expensive, but it felt underwhelming. I also ordered a cup of the soup of the day: shrimp and corn. My former favorite - I used to visit specifically for that dish - it's now best described as unmemorable. The service was friendly and fine, despite some mistakes. With one room now basically dedicated to the bar and pool tables, there's a more noticeable "sports bar" vibe, though I don't think there were a bunch of TVs in the dining area? I wasn't really paying attention to that. If you're looking for a place to play pool, drink, and eat something decent, sure, this is still a good bet. But if you're just looking to go out and have a great meal in Hammond, Mariner's Inn no longer makes the recommendation list.

Now Mariners is apparently a pool hall with a restaurant in the back. Wow. Shocking and sad…read more Apparently the new owners and management didn't understand that much of the allure and ambiance of Mariners Inn was being able to sit and overlook the old fashioned downtown Hammond through the front windows. I'll eat in a restaurant that has pool tables tucked away in the back, however I most likely wouldn't eat in a pool hall with a restaurant in the back. Friday night when everyone else around you are slammed and you have an empty restaurant maybe try a rewind and just copy what Bruce did for forty years instead of trying to fix what wasn't broken. I can't bring myself to rate Mariners less than a three star but frankly these days that may be generous. Please do better.

The staff is wondeful.. young, smiling, courteous and very attentive. My wings were fabulous... maybe the best ever. We also had some fabulous shrimp tacos. Only disappointment was the waffle fries.. sprinkled with some garlicky salt, warm and rather mealy. Bottom line, excellent value, very good food, casual if not slightly 'lively' atmosphere, and a pleasant young and cute wait staff...

Mostly good experiences with Walkons chain of restaurants over the years. I might be done with them…read morenow. Changed the bayou pasta recipe and charge $3.00 up charge just to get fried shrimp on it instead of blackened shrimp. Does it really cost $3.00 for batter? That makes it come to $22.00 for a pasta dish. Thats insane! I usually get this dish every time I come but I ordered something else instead because I wasn't paying $22.00 for pasta! Update: They brought it out to me anyway, so I got to get it one last time. Still not paying $22 for it in the future.

Will NEVER GO AGAIN…read more SERVICE: Ms Janay was WONDERFUL! She was on top of everything and made sure we were taken care of! FOOD: Food was GOOD! No complaints there. CLEANLINESS: DISGUSTING, no lie! -100% IF you decide to eat at this restaurant, GO check out THE RESTROOM FIRST. No need for words. The pictures say it all. I am old... I'm 63. I have NEVER seen a public bathroom (in an eating establishment) THIS DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY in my life. It's what you would expect of an old, nasty gas station bathroom, NOT a place that SERVES FOOD. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like.

I asked for a certain drink she told me she didn't know what it was and didn't even look to see if she could make it. I ordered an margarita on the rocks and she googled or looked it up to see what was in it. She came back with some terrible drink with no salt on the plastic cup. Still no smile. Two men came in and she straightened up adjusted her top and flipped her hair in place and gave them a huge smile and took their order. My husband and I looked at each other and laughed. The girl is not an asset to that place and doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. Will not go there and will not give anyone nice comments about it.
