Steamers Island Grill & Bar

This place should not be serving seafood. I shouldn’t have to clean the slime out of the shrimp nor should the oysters be sandy and sealed closed that I had to pry them open myself. Drink and service was fine but severely disappointed by the food. People shouldn’t rave about a burger at a seafood place. And the drink shouldn’t be called a bar winch. The proper word should be wench like it is on the women’s restroom.

I went too steamers today for the first time, service sucked, the crab cake sandwich I ordered was the worst crab cake I have ever had, I took one bite and spit it out in my napkin, fries were cold, terrible food for what I got, I don’t recommend this place.

I went for all you can eat Wings Wednesday! Great wings and cold beer at a good price.

Delicious and well prepared burger on half priced burger Monday along with a 2 dollar draft and great service! Recommended.

DO NOT EAT HERE!
Drinks were good, service was good… At first. FOOD WILL MAKE YOU SICK
After I got home from eating at Steamers with my girlfriend I started experiencing terrible stomach pain and ended up on the toilet and throwing up for the next 2 hours.
About an hour after I got done my girlfriend began throwing up and having the same exact issues, so we knew then that it had to be the food we ate at Steamers.
I called the next day and talked to the Manager named Hector or Jose, or something. He said he would refund the money and take care of the situation.
After calling them multiple times for the past two weeks because the money never got refunded (every time they told me that they sent it through on their end and that it was my banks issue). I finally called my bank and they told me the refund was never issued. Now I have to open a claim with my bank.
So not only did my girlfriend and I get food poisoning but I got the run around and blatantly lied too. The place is just all around dirty and disreputable.

Had the Cajun shrimp. It was good and they don’t skimp on shrimp like most pasta’s. Friendly bartender and good atmosphere. All around good experience. Ignore the other reviews I’m glad I decided to go.

Would not recommend going to this establishment. The ones in Fredericksburg have a more inviting and responsible staff. I have never had a problem at the other ones. Something about the lack of care for customers makes dining there a painful experience. Their host is rude or not even there at all, some of the servers I’ve had are high and one of their bartenders gives attitude if you ask about a drink you ordered 20 minutes before. If you want to try Steamers, I recommend the spotsy mall or Chatham heights.

Went back again and really enjoyed the Mahi Mahi Tacos, but ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and same as before. Absolutely no liquor in this drink that’s supposed to be 5 shots of liquor and a shot of coke. Not sure how they’re able to do this???

Got the cuban, the first bite was tasty, but as I was 3 bite’s in there was the refrigerated taste to the pork BBQ, ham wasn’t top shelf either.
of course there are better cuban’s but it was ok.

not bad. had all you can eat wings on wed and all you can eat crab on saturday. not bad

Had better food at Chipotle during the E. coli outbreak last month. The shrimp tasted like they came from The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company’s first catch, which I believe consisted of a tire and a toilet seat. I had higher hopes for a more lively atmosphere as well. I’d chalk this place up to an «upscale» honky-​tonk. Rednecks as far as the eye could see. You could have a better time at home with a lava lamp, smelling salts and your laptop. The only thing positive I have to say abut this hole is that the parking was ample. And that’s because no one comes here. If I was burning in the fires of hell, I wouldn’t stop here for a drink. Stay away!

I guess people go here for the drinks. I would stick to just that. Food is overpriced, poorly cooked, and I know a lot of people who have gotten sick after eating here. I mean the hush puppies crumble like sand. It’s no good. Don’t waste your money.

The steamed shrimp is not cleaned. Thats right, the server gave me shell on, intact, no sh! t line removed. Said the kitche would not open the shell and remove the sh! t line. Disgusting

Its a fun place to go to drink with friends the food is decent and staff pretty friendly. Nothing to make it a must go though.

Came here a couple of time over the past two weeks. The wait service was great (Tiffany and Ashley). The two large issue I have with this place is 1. The owner decided not to get the nfl ticket. The whole point of coming to a «sports bar» on a Sunday is to watch football. 2. On Thursday night, when they were supposed to have dollar bud lights, they ran out. If your expecting return customers you would think that said deals would be honored the entire time you were there or in the case that you ran out, a substitute would be made available. Not the case at steamers. It’s like they don’t want out business. Highly disappointed.

The one bartender is a dick. There no one really there and on the tv he had some sitcom on and the remote was on the bar so I changed the channel to the comedy channel and he gave me a dirty look and changed it back and than I asked him if I could change it and he just gave me a dirty look. No one was there at the bar just me. I use to go here 4 times a week now I won’t go every again. The food isn’t that great there is only 3 things that are good on the menu

This place is horrible. I read the bad reviews and decided to give it the benefit of the doubt since I’m not too picky. However their seafood has little to no taste, and their bartenders don’t know how to make the specialty drinks they advertise… they simply taste like hard liquor which some may not mind. But me and my friends were very disappointed.

Beach style décor. Family friendly. Service was great and the food was good. I would definitely go here again. Prices are decent and the portions are great.

I almost didn’t eat anything because the «hostess» on the bar side was so unwelcoming– TWICE. Quite unprofessional. The other servers were really friendly and attentive. Crab legs disappointed me. They seemed to be either old or overcooked. I still left a good tip.

We really enjoyed eating here. As a military trained chef, I can say the food was very good. The ambiance was very cute, beachy and fun. The restaurant was also very clean. The staff was very courteous and attentive. Our food came our in a very timely manner. How it should have. They also have several affordable specials. We loved it because it is considered a Bar/​Restaurant so you can still smoke in the «Bar» side where we ate at. As a smoker it is something that is appreciated. The restaurant was slow for a Saturday night (which I love!)…I have no idea why it was slow, except for Colonial Beach was having a festival and was packed this weekend. The Bar side attendant was also very nice. he crafted a balloon for our four year old and she was over the moon by the gesture. We live in Louisa, Virginia and won’t be back here often but when we are in the area… We are coming here!!!
