Reviews for Steamboat Bill's DeRidder, LA in DeRidder, LA
We enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. The staff was friendly and the food was good. Our only complaint is, of our party of... five, 4 of us got our meals in about 20 minutes, we were told the other meal (crayfish) would be served in 10 minutes, but ittook about 25 minutes. By the time the last meal came, the rest of us were done eating. Not a huge deal but, for futurereference, let your customers know ahead of time, we would have happily waited for all our meals to come out together Read more
I guess I went in at the wrong time of day. They didn't have any fried oysters for the platter. They didn't have boiled... crawfish. They did have a lot of fried food on a $35 platter. The server was absent from meal delivery until delivering thecheck. I had to self-serve my refill of a $3 drink. The mushrooms were tasty. I thought the fish was good. I thought the shrimptasted like something out of a bag, frozen until dropped in the fryer. The coleslaw was full of raw onions-gross. The platterwas worth $18.99 tops. Over priced. Read more
If I only ordered the oysters I would have given them 4 stars. The oysters were fresh and pretty large. The steamed shrimp was... not fresh and was overcooked or reheated and was not good. Read more
First time going back in about 2-3 years (didn't like my first experience). This time was alot better. Alot of fried seafood... options. Beware- they do not devein their shrimp, so if that bothers you, I suggest ordering something withoutshrimp. Location: right off the main highway, next to burger King. Large parking lot. Atmosphere: spacious, smells good, cajunmusic playing. Seemed clean. It used to be a Ryan's so it has a similar layout. Table seating and bar seating. Good for casualfamily dinner, date, or friends. Comfortable. Food: good variety but mostly fried. Shrimp (boiled and fried), fish, oysters(charbroiled, fried), crawfish (seasonal), alligator, poboys, loaded potatoes, gumbo, fries, salads, coleslaw, boudin balls,etc. I ordered their medium shrimp and liked it. It was breaded and fried and it came with way more than expected- about 20+shrimp. Prices: everything is pretty close to $12-25 for dinner items depending on what you get. For 2 people at dinner: mediumshrimp w fries, 4 boudin balls, fish strips w fries and 2 soft drinks it was $45. I do think their crawfish is way too expensive($7/lb in February 2022 where other local crawfish stops are closer to $5.50-6.00/lb). Service: Very friendly, comfortable andmade sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a good experience. We will return. Read more
First time at Steamboat Bill's and it won't be my last for sure. Food was excellent! I ordered the Atchafalaya dinner, the fried... fish was light and crispy, the shrimp Étouffée was delicious. We also had the boiled shrimp, it was really good and spicy andthe fried okra. I can't wait to go back and try more on the menu. Read more
So good! The food is so fresh and prepared perfectly! I had the raw oysters and fried mushrooms. Husband had the shrimp burger.... All of it was fresh and absolutely delicious. The food was out quick. Service was attentive and sweet. Overall, a really greatdining experience! Read more
Excellent place to go for seafood, they never miss. I always make sure to stop in during crawfish season and get some... étouffée, and the shrimp version is just as good when crawfish aren't available. I recommend getting a platter if you haven'tbeen here before. Read more
