Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill

$ 25.00 a head includes tip.
Your cookie cutter restaurant for crayfish
of all things. Weak seafood menu.
Bland food. You can do better.

This place is okay. Nothing to brag about.
The service is good. The atmosphere is a bit cheesy, not great. cheesy…
Not a great example of authentic cajun food… just too bland, blah.

We had the crawfish enchiladas they where ok. Not really what I would call enchiladas but was good. The Étouffée was better then some I have had but still not the best. Fried Green tomatoes was also good but a little hard for my liking the Service was great. I would eat here again but would try a few other things they have.

I have mixed feelings about their food. The appetizers are really top notch, but their entrees are not very good. The shrimp and grits looked like soup and had off-​putting texture that was not pleasing. The entrees not worth the price. Service was good and fried pickles were great.

Excellent food. I have never had a bad mean here. I am from Houma LA so I am critical of Cajun food. I eat here anytime I can. The service is unbelievable. Awesome experience.

The service was good but the food is a little pricey. The cocktail sauce with the oysters was, sadly, the most flavorful thing we ate.
The crawfish po-​boy was dry and the fries had been sitting in a warmer. And the fish tacos were ok but not spectacular. Some sort of «lemon flavor» overwhelmed the fish flavor altogether.
Great service. Pricey and «just ok» food.

I had the blackened catfish which was OK, but could have been a little «blacker» for my taste. It was a little bland. My wife had the shrimp fettuccine alfredo which was tasty with several large shrimp. She enjoyed her meal. We went in mid afternoon after a movie and were the only ones eating. Our server was attentive but could have done a better job clearing the table after we finished eating while waiting on the check and a to go box. The table behind us was dirty when we got there and when we left. The two servers spent most of the time sitting at the bar watching TV. Overall not a bad place, but $ 30 for lunch should be better.

The Cajun fair here is delicious & elegantly served. After 5 visits they’ve never disappointed us with customer service or food quality. We have tried several dishes & have always enjoyed the serving sized & how beautifully the entrees are plated.

The staff was great! The food was really good! Everything turned out great. We loved the atmosphere, and will be back for sure!

In town for business and called an order in to take back to the hotel to eat while I was working. Went to pick up my order (after being told it would be ready in 15 mins) and proceeded to wait at the bar (with my to go order sitting on the bar in front of me) for 15 mins for the bartender to come out of the back so that I could pay for my order. Horrible service. It was Wednesday night and the bar area had literally 5 other people there besides me. As I left the hostess did at least tell me to have a good night while she looked at social media on her phone. Get back to the hotel and there is no silverware and no cocktail sauce in the bag (I knew I should have checked for all of this but the brown paper bag was already stapled shut so…).

Really good atmosphere, wether it’s adult friends or you and your kiddos. Nice patio with tvs. Happy hour. And some good eating.

Walked in to the restaurant after enjoying our experience a few weeks ago. We were greeted by the hostess and seated on the bar side. 10 minutes passed and we were never acknowledged. The hostess, server, and bartender all saw us being seated but no one ever came back to our table. Two members of management were seated at a table to our right and didn’t help out. It’s a shame we had to walk out because we were ready to spend money on good food and good drinks! We will not be back.
Update…drove over to Fisherman’s Market where we received excellent service

Not very good… The best part of my meal was the Sausage and Chicken Gumbo… I had the Cat Fish Pontchartrain, and it was pretty bad… I didn’t even finish it all… The waitress/​bar tender was very attentive and nice, so was the hostess. So service was good, that’s why I give them 3 stars.

It was alright. Not bad, but didn’t wow me. It’s in a new shopping center so it’s clean and comfortable if that’s what you’re after. I’ld go back, the food was good, and the service was good. Like I said nothing that just JUMPS out at you, ands maybe it will on the second visit.

If you are looking for authentic Cajun food in Longview then this is the spot. I grew up in Southern Louisiana, so needless to say, I have lots of experiences to draw comparisons to. One of my favorite Cajun, or for that matter restaurants to eat at. Been 4 times now, and have not been disappointed.
Just the gumbo alone will turn you into a regular.

This was mediocre at best. I’m in town on business and was looking for something good near my hotel. I tried some alligator bites and a cup of jambalaya to start with. The alligator was fine, but visually looked a step away from being burned. The jambalaya was terrible. I could only eat a few bites. It was served lukewarm and had little flavor. I had to search to find a few small bites of meat in it. Next I tried a half fried crawfish poor boy with a side of crawfish étouffée. The poor boy was fine but light on crawfish. It was mostly a lot of bread. The best thing I had was the étouffée. It was actually decent though different from most I’ve had. A little more crawfish in it would have been nice.
I would not come back, but I would be remiss not to mention my waitress. She was great and my service was great. She was attentive but didn’t hover. I took my time between appetizer and entrée reading a book and I didn’t feel rushed to move on. I was able to relax and take my time until ready to finish ordering. Too bad the food didn’t live up!

Went here on Saturday night for the first time and was pretty pleased. Our waitress was 36 weeks pregnant (bless her heart) but she was very sweet and attentive which was much appreciated. I ordered the alligator bites, fried crawfish, and a side of seasoned curly fries. This was my first time eating alligator and I couldn’t believe that I actually liked it! The food was out in a timely manner, the atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting, the only thing was that the crawfish tasted more fishy than I’m used to. As far as price goes I don’t think it was anymore expensive than any other seafood restaurant. I’d definitely return.

Second chance… This time for lunch.
The service was fine again. Place was clean, as previously.
My wife had a bowl of the bisque and enjoyed it. My shrimp po boy was fine, but nothing special. Seafood gumbo was fine too. Better than some. Not as good as others (no roux used in this — thin consistency but flavor is still OK).
Overall, not enough to add another star. Still looking for that eggplant dish served at the other locations.

I ordered the Flat Iron Steak & Shrimp $ 16.99 asked for Asparagus up charge of a $ 1.99
Look at the photo of what you get, this is sad. Honestly, it’s the smallest steak I’ve ever had.

Good food but a little pricey on some items. Market price for a dozen raw oysters is $ 15.99 and $ 19.99 for Rockefeller. The food is good and fresh. They have a nice New Orleans vibe going on. They don’t have a happy hour menu yet. They do have a bar area. I would return on my next business trip to Longview.
