What a wonderful evening from the front door manager everything was on point. All through our meal Megan our waitress and all staff checked/cleared/refilled drinks the team was perfect every minute we were there. The food was amazing and each course was served with perfect timing. The only thing I would change is the choices of non-alcoholic beer, there are so many great ones out there. Thank you to the entire team from front of house to the kitchen. read more

Everything was GREAT here, food, the service, atmosphere. Can't beat it!! I recommend everyone to come try this place.

We had an incredible dinner at Jourdan River Steamer. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming, and the food kept getting better with every course. We started with a pound of the royal red shrimp and a bowl of seafood gumbo. The shrimp were huge, seasoned perfectly, and came with melted butter on the side. The seafood gumbo was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and a nice scoop of rice on top. A great start. For our main course, we ordered the filet cooked medium rare, and it came out just right -- tender and full of flavor. It was served with mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and a giant piece of roasted bone marrow that really took things to the next level. We also tried the tuna dip which was smoky, creamy, and served with crispy crackers and toppings that added a nice pop of flavor. We finished with dessert and could not resist ordering both the bread pudding and the chocolate cake. The bread pudding was warm and comforting with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. The chocolate cake was rich and fudgy with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and the service made it even better. It was one of the best meals we've had in a while and we will definitely be coming back. If you are anywhere near Kiln, Mississippi, this place is a must. read more

Jourdan River Steamer - Lobster dinner. Shrimp dinner (1 lb) - Seafood Near Me - Kiln, Mississippi

We have celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries, and more at Jourdan River Steamer. Last night we celebrated birthdays for my wife (Jan 31) and daughter (Feb 3). Our family of 5 feasted on a shareable platter of crabs, royal reds, lobster, and then the King Cake Cheesecake (special for Mardi Gras season). The service is always professional. The food is always incredible. JRS will remain a fixture of many family celebrations for years to come. read more

I love this restaurant! The Steamer is worth the money bc food and staff are awesome! I love to sit by the windows and lookout at the river. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We ordered "The Bounty". The service was fantastic. Our server's name was Sam, she did a wonderful job. The food was...well bland. Covering it and layering it in Old Bay seasoning was the only thing we could taste. The hot butter that was served with our meal had a taste of being left out to solidify, and then be reheated again. So that was off putting. The shrimp were served with their heads on...and not cleaned in any way what so ever, nor was the lobster. I did not enjoy cleaning out the waste of the shrimp and lobster, it is not what I would consider a romantic time out . For the price we paid for that meal I expected far better in flavor and taste. We have had better sea food at the Angry Crab Shack... Atmosphere good, service good, food subpar... I would recommend anywhere else for the price they charge. read more

First of all, make reservations. This place stays booked up because the food and the service are fantastic! It's a hidden gem of Mississippi, no doubt. If you like crabs and you don't mind paying for high quality... this place is for you. My wife and I ordered the "love boat" for two. It was more than enough (took a box home). Also had the smoked tuna dip. I order that at seafood restaurants all the time. The Steamer's is as good as any I've ever eaten. We finished the meal with a piece of chocolate cake... chef's kiss. Oh... and they have food runners (people that aren't your server delivering the food). That tends to make a huge difference in the level of service. And you have a nice view of the water. It's not anything to write home about but it's pleasant. (But I'm here for the food, ya feel me?) Bring your wallet. Anytime you show up to a restaurant and the first thing they ask is "Are you celebrating a special occasion?" ... it's gonna be expensive. But if you eat crabs, you should already know this. My recommendation: go for the king crab. read more

Amazing food, awesome service. We have gone to the Jourdan River Steamer twice and both times it was an amazing dining experience. The view is great as is the interior. We would much rather go here for our seafood than go to the casinos. The food is fresh tasting and hasn't been setting out for hours and had people putting their hands all over the food. The crème brûlée is also off the cuff and you have to get it early as they only make a set amount each day. The cost for two is about the same. read more

Had anniversary dinner there and although pricey I decided on Lobster. Thank goodness my husband ordered something else because the lobster was not edible. It was tough and tasteless. We shared his plate which was enough for both of us but again way overpriced. Too many wonderful seafood restaurants in the area to go somewhere food is not good and overpriced. We won't be back. Not going to comment on wait staff. They knew we were not satisfied and did nothing. read more

A friend recommended this spot to me back in 2020. I was finally able to visit. NO REGRETS! This was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The building is spacious and beautiful. Right along the River, it boasts amazing views. Making a reservation was so simple! They use the resy app and it's a cinch to get a time that suits your needs. The building was lovely. They had an area with cornhole and other games for a time when you might have to wait on a table. It looked really fun. The restaurant has a giant tank of lobsters and on the night we visited, they had a lobster close to 5lbs for sale! That being said, I came for the crab legs and shrimp. But before I even got there, they had a delightful app special featuring ahi tuna and seaweed salad. It was divine. I forget the name of the platter I ordered but it was great! It featured snow crabs, Royal reds and Dungeness. I LOVED IT. Everything was so good and I ate every scrap of it! My significant other got the filet and he loved it. Our server was fantastic. His name was Jay and he brought us two bones for us to take home to our dogs. He was able to make fantastic and helpful recommendations. I am so glad he was our server because he made us feel so appreciated and cared for. The drinks were also fine. I had a cucumber gin fizz and they overdid it a little on the pepper. I think had a Sauvignon blanc and it was a small but good pour but the drink of the night was the conundrum red blend. It was excellent and fairly priced. If you have a chance to visit this restaurant, do not pass it up! read more

Wow, what a fantastic treat for our first visit. Our server Shannon was very knowledgeable about all of the menu items & carefully explained each dish to us, along with the specials. The steak we ordered came out cooked to perfection & seasoned well. (sad that it was so good I only got a picture of our appetizer).As for the seafood, one word "mouthwatering". We couldn't have asked for a better anniversary dinner, thank you to the entire steam team & shannon for a wonderful trip. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Drove from Hattiesburg just to eat here. Had the royal reds, smoked tuna dip, chargrilled oysters and a cup of gumbo for appetizers. Could not make a decision so we got all 4 of these. I would put their gumbo up against my mom's and she has won several awards. Royal reds were better than some lobster that I have had at other restaurants. Also had the 6 oz filet with the lobster mac and the asparagus. Great meal. Very quick and professional service. Dining area had great ambience. Suggest a reservation. Can't wait to go back. read more

It's unfortunate that I am leaving this but, if someone tells me they will reach back out after initially contacting me about my experience, I expect a call. The food was good but definitely wasn't worth the price! This was our first time visiting and was taken back when we received the bill, but we didn't want to create a scene, I was contacted by management and discussed my thoughts with them and was told he would be speaking to the owner that night and would get back with me. I guess we just weren't worth the follow up. read more

My husband surprised me with dinner for our anniversary and boy, did it not disappoint. We are locals, so we are snobby about seafood. Jourdans Steamer met every expectation. From the time we entered until the time we left, we were well taken care of. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful by the river. We will be back very soon! Charbroiled Oysters, lobster, crab and shrimp for the WIN! read more

Decided to take the wifey out to dinner tonight and we've both heard great things so we were coming with high expectations. Let's just say WOW expectations were met above and beyond. Everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic and cooked perfectly. We started off with a dozen of the charbroiled oysters which came out quick and was gone within just a few minutes. I ordered the magnum filet and loved every bit of it! Was even better that it came with complimentary bone marrow! Wifey ordered the crusted red snapper special and was also amazing. We finished off with the crème brûlée and it was the best I've ever had. Overall, food was phenomenal & to make the overall experience better, our server Jay made sure everything was perfect for our first time experience at the restaurant. We were even impressed to see the owner walking around making sure everyone was happy with their experience. 10/10 will definitely be back again! Thank you for an amazing meal for our date night! read more

The lobster was a little tough. Other than that the food was awesome. Very expensive. Be prepared to spend some money.

Reco from a local friend and was a hit. Reservation for sure was helpful. Service was great by Bernie. Charbroiled oysters were -insert chef kiss here-!

This place is great. We love Daniel. He is our favorite waiter! One time my friends stomach was upset and he brought out a ginger drink to try to help. The ambience is great-right on the Jordan River. The outside is so cute, you can dock your boat and walk on up! Theres an awesome outdoor area underneath and outdoor seating on the balcony. The outside lights have fun colors and it's decorated well. The food is on the pricier side but the presentation and quality of the food is good. read more

Tried this place out for anniversary dinner. We weren't seated until about 30-40 minutes after our reservation time of 8 pm, which was kind of a bummer. Our server's demeanor seemed to change when we didn't order alcoholic drinks or appetizers. The seafood platter was excellent. We got the one with lobster, king crab, Dungeness crab, and shrimp. Not the most friendly and welcoming dining experience, but the food was great. I'd go back and give the staff a second chance. read more

I'm furious. We celebrated with friends tonight, and had planned on using a Visa gift card from our daughter to pay our portion. Only to be told AT CHECK OUT TIME that they don't accept Vanilla Visa gift cards. This, in my opinion, is something that should be transparent from the time you walk in, not after you've spent over $100. Just wish we had gone elsewhere. read more

Great service and food was delicious. A little pricey but it is worth it. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best seafood place to eat at. I will always come back to eat. Even tho it's pricey but it's well worth it. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is awesome. Snow crabs are huge and the oyster. Yummmmm. read more
