My wife and I live in San Antonio TX, and had been researching Bill's on Yelp for quite sometime. The food and service absolutely exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed everything we ordered!Special recognition to our main waiter Brandon, who went above and beyond in every aspect of service! Brandon's professionalism, awareness, and respect is exactly what we, and I'm sure every patron, hopes for when visiting a new restaurant! I want to thank everyone at Steamboat Bill's for our wonderful experience! We'll be back soon!

The sides were a little less flavorful and I was disappointed. I ordered green beans, cabbage, red beans and yams. Yams were good. I'd order chicken and Mae my own sides. It's a drive through so I can't speak to the ambiance. The service and staff were awesome and felt very much like family!! I love that! Will be back for the fried chicken for sure!

I opted for the Crawfish, and was a amazed of how full of flavor and spicy they were! Some of the best Crawfish I'd had in long time.

There was enough food to feed at least one more person. The fried catfish filets were huge. The fried shrimp and french fries were both good. The standout was the seafood pasta; that stuff was way better than we thought it would be. Didn't care for the fried seafood balls or whatever they were because it looked like it had yellow rice in them. But it was a cool place to visit and we will go back.

My crawfish poboy was okay. And I say that because I wasn't expecting a full potato slice so it was extremely hard and messy to eat lol. Overall I would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Steamboat Bills is a Lake Charles tradition! I usually go to their lakefront location, but there is…read moreabsolutely nothing wrong with the location on Martin Luther King Highway! In addition to being a great seafood restaurant, it's also a seafood market where you can pick up things to cook at home. It's convenient to I-10, so travelers could easily exit, eat, and get back on the road. This is a simple and easy place to navigate when you know the method. First grab a menu or look at the one on the wall, next walk up to the counter and order and pay. You'll get a number you carry to a table. A server will bring you your food when it's ready, which generally is pretty quick. Then you eat and leave. What to eat? Well that's a good question! Most everything there is great. Seafood is the star of the show, and one can't go wrong with a seafood platter. This is a huge pile of everything that can serve two normal humans. Too often I ordered the Medium Shrimp Platter, there's nothing wrong with this choice, but I needed to try other different things. A Seafood Stuffed Baked Potato is a great choice, and very filling. For the grazers there are some solid whole meal salads. Last time I was in I just got a Fish Platter, which has two huge fillets with fries, coleslaw, and bread. Gumbo and etouffe are good choices too! I really have no idea if their dessert is any good as I never have room for any. I guess one could get some to go...

Brett and Logan gave me the lowdown on the history of Pat's (rebuild following hurricane/s) while mixing up a decent Old Fashioned. I started w a side wedge followed with crab cakes and a "stuffed potato" (like a twice-baked). The cheese on the potato resembled the sheen of a kraft single. Maybe step up the cheese game. Nevertheless, all was good and tasty. A mid-upscale vibe present as many guests seemed to be well dressed and celebrating. Looking forward to sampling more of the menu.
