Lobster Bisque
Simone S.

Early Sunday lunch. It was self seating so hesded up to the patio to see my favorite server Juan who thankfully was working. We started with a light cocktail and I had the lobster bisque which is a must try. Creamy and delicious with bits of lobster throughout. We then had the crabmeat melt after a short detour to an inside table as it was starting to drizzle. The sandwich was full of crab, gray cheese pull with a bunch of crispy fries. This is a great spot to people watch and get a nice meal. Portions are good and pricing reasonable. If Juan is working, sit in his section. He'll take great care of you!!

Nice little seafood hideaway downtown midtown was a nice surprise. The oyster sampler was my meal of choice. Of the three types of oysters served, the Danielle Oysters were my favorite. Crispy fried and topped with an aioli finish. All of the oysters were a nice size and satisfying. The chopped salad was big and full of chopped bacon, tomatoes and ranch dressing tossed in. This little Eatery and bar offers outdoor seating as well.

Sweetwater IPA
Courtney P.

Stopped by got lunch. Parked across the street at the LAZ parking lot, street parking was completely full on a Sunday afternoon. I got a local beer, Sweetwater IPA. It was in a can, no draft ;( It was hoppy & light so it was just what I wanted! 7/10 I got a half dozen raw oysters. Came with the standard enhancements of lemon, saltines, cocktail sauce (with horseradish in the middle??) & some Tabasco for you on the side. The oysters were pretty mild in flavor, not too watery. There were some shell in about 3/6 oysters that made me hesitate each time I ate one, but overall nice in size & quality! 6/10 The cup of lobster bisque was really good! I saw on the menu that they're rated for being the best for about 20 years. There was a lot of lobster meat & the soup itself was really creamy. 8/10 The bartender was cool. A lot of regulars came in & he looped me into conversations with them. They were cool too. Pretty chill atmosphere. Apparently there's an upstairs? I didn't make it that far lol

Lobster bisques soup

I was out around in the city and I happy to be a couple minutes away and I wanted to check it out because it's been quite some time since I've been there. If you go you'll have plenty of seats and plenty of areas to sit because they have an upstairs and an outside as well as the inside. When you get there you have to worry about street parking so just keep that in mind. Or in a parking structure is also an option, but there isn't any free parking around so just keep that in mind. It'll come in and you'll see the bar and seats inside. It's a dive bar, kind of vibe, nothing shiny and new, but it gets the job done. There's plenty of TVs somewhere around so if you wanted to go ahead and watch a game you could definitely do it out as well. Any apple bar so you can just set the bar and drink if you didn't want to eat anything. But why would you come here if you didn't want to eat LOL? I had already had a couple of drinks so I actually only came for food and the food was okay. The bartender was really cool as she served the food at the bar top. We actually had a decent conversation, good customer service. Lobster bisque - The lobster bisque was really good. It had a lot of meat in it, they did not skimp on that at all. I only got a small cup but I probably could have knocked down a bowl of it easily. Very creamy and savory. Fries - The fries or french fries but they were good and they were very hot and crispy. Crab cake - The crab cake was okay. It It was breaded and crispy on the outside. And do you sit on the inside. It definitely had a little bit of flavor but nothing I would write all about. Instead of making it fluff up with crab meat, they kind of flattened it out and it look like a croquette kind of. Came with kind of a sweet chili sauce I assume, and coleslaw. Actually really, the lemon squeezed over. It was just fine. Grilled garlic Parmesan oysters - The oysters were pretty good. They weren't super large but they were pretty good in flavor though. If you want some dinner was some nice dive seafood vibes, this will be a pretty good spot to check out.

Lobster Roll & Cup of Bisque
Tunicia W.

Went here for a quick dinner after drinks because food was needed. Sat at the bar and ordered the lobster bisque and lobster roll. First of all, as an Atlanta native, I am ashamed that I knew of this place but have never patronized it. The lobster bisque was divine! It actually had meat in it (which is rare, trust me) and the portion was just enough. The lobster roll was just okay. I probably needed to fix it up some more but it was good for the moment. Service was quick and friendly. Steamhouse is more like a dive bar so do not come here expecting fancy. But the food is delicious!

A bucket of 24 steamed oysters and a happy boy
Kat G.

My husband wanted oysters for his birthday and what better than Steamhouse! He got the bucket of steamed clams and our very kind waiter helped him shuck many of them (it was harder than it looked). We also had a bowl (don't even bother with a cup) of their amazing lobster bisque and I had the lobster roll, all delicious!

I was visiting a friend and we decided to go across the street to grab something to eat. Service: no wait time, and the service was great. Our server was kind and attentive. Ambience/Crowd: family friendly casual place to eat. Food/drink : 5/10 the food was ok, could've used more seasoning and I wish the lobster in the bisque was not imitation Will I be back? Yes I would, they have a wide variety of food.

Bauer H.

Lunch today entailed oysters, so we found this delightful spot. The service was super excellent and the food was hot, fresh and no long waiting. The drinks were fine as well. The ambiance was very casual but very comfortable and relaxing. We truly enjoyed this experience and this spot lived up to their reputation.

Michael L.

Fabulous service, delicious food, good ambiance. A little crowded and loud, but, expected for the holiday. Will be back to try more of their cuisines. Apparently a staple of Atlanta that I had missed...I won't miss it again!

Lobster Roll & Cup of Bisque
Shaleah D.

We stopped by Steamhouse Lounge and tried the lobster roll and the Cajun pasta with blackened salmon. The lobster roll had big chunks of lobster and was the highlight of the meal. The bisque on the side was creamy with a generous amount of lobster. The pasta was creamy with a nice Cajun flavor that paired well with the blackened salmon. The vibe is laid back and casual, and they have valet parking which was super convenient. The service was friendly and the food came out fast and hot.

Philly Cheese steak with fries
Samirah I.

I come here at least once a week. I love the oysters, my favorite is tied between the garlic Parmesan (deliciously smokey) and the Rockefeller (cheesy, creamy, what is there not to love). The chicken tacos and philly cheese steak are also delicious! Service is pretty quick, so no complaints there either. The ambiance is perfect for catching up with friends or a casual date night. It's slightly loud but in a comfortable way. But I'm here to rant about these oysters! Overall, I give them a 9/10, they could have been a 10 but, to be honest, the oysters sometimes have a piece of shell in them so chew carefully.

Helena M.

Crab cake melt with fries. Recommended to us by our waiter. Super good! Fries were 10/10, crispy and salty and just perfect. Super casual ambiance, we sat upstairs during lunch time (12n) on a Monday for a work lunch and there wasn't too many people. Parking is valet and its tips appreciated but there's also a parking garage nearby.

Beers

Came here twice: once for dinner and once for late lunch, and had a great experience both times. The first night I got the ATL fish and grits which was amazing! I chose blackened but fried and grilled were also options. I loved the grits so much that when I came back the next day, I ordered them as a side with my crab cake. The crab cake came with slaw, lemon and a thick chili dipping sauce. The crab cake on its own was delicious, but I also added some old bay on top which was available on the table in a shaker. This quickly became my favorite place to eat while visiting, and I'd love to come here again one day!

How long a wait?

No wait when we sat down immediately

Is the restaurant Pet friendly?

I believe the lower level outdoor patio is pet friendly but the last 2 times I've gone the patio has been closed. There's an outdoor deck area upstairs. I don't believe it's pet friendly because you have to enter the restaurant to access that area.

Are we able to dine in? Or is it take out only?

You can currently dine in here, and they offer outdoor seating as well!

Cant wait to trip this place in a few months. Anybody name you three favorites?

Not three but...Lobster bisque is to die for. 100% get that. You will not regret it

Service is always top tier though! We ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger and the Zombie Burger, and both delivered exactly what you'd want from a place like this. The Mushroom Swiss was rich, juicy, and loaded with flavor, with perfectly melted cheese and mushrooms that actually added depth instead of getting lost. The Zombie Burger was messy, bold, and indulgent--definitely not a "play it safe" kind of burger, but that's what made it great. This isn't a quiet, refined dining spot--and it's not trying to be. It's fun, casual, and perfect for when you want a great burger with personality.

We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

This cocktail lounge is a cool spot! We had a private party for 20 and reserved the "Tight Squeeze"…read moresection which was behind a very nondescript door (like a speakeasy??) and right next to the bar, with a big center table where most of stood around, and then comfy sofas and chairs on the periphery. Since the other side of the bar was pretty much almost outside with a deck, they had heated lamps throughout. To order food or drinks, we went to the bartender - there is no server walking around to take orders. All of us kept an open tab - and they do automatically charge 20% tip. Our bartender was really good and super nice! And they have Happy Hours specials 4:30-7pm - even Sat/Sun ... so I took advantage of that! MELON BALL - $9 I'd never had a melon ball before and it was really yummy :) DOS CONFIT DUCK TACOS - $10 Two corn tortilla tacos w/ duck confit (birria style), NY sharp cheddar (actually I don't remember having cheese in mine), and mango chutney ... good option if you're looking for a lite bite. I enjoyed mine! LEMON PEPPER FRITES - $6 House-cut fries w/ lemon pepper dusting. The tacos weren't enough, lol - plus the fries were a good portion for sharing. I wish they sprinkled more lemon pepper but it was fine. Next time I'd like to try their Big Mac sliders - those looked really good! The shrimp po' boys looked good too! Looking at the regular menu, the food prices are very reasonable. Overall great spot for groups! They are located at Colony Square - although I knew the restaurant location, I did get disoriented after coming from the parking garage and trying to figure out where was 14th Street but a lovely policeman walked me there. Remember to bring your parking ticket and then ask the hostess to validate your ticket when you leave the restaurant - supposedly it's free up to 2 hours but I stayed there for over 6 hours and didn't have to pay for parking, yay!

As the night went on, we ordered more drinks and our server also ordered more drinks for himself (which we could see him drinking). He was incredibly rude and at times would just disappear. Mind you we were one of the only groups in the restaurant... all other tables had 'reserved' signs on them. For who? I'm not sure. He was obviously very annoyed to have to serve us and made rude comments to a few people in our group. For the food - the served actually told us 'you didn't order that' when we reminded him or 2 items that were forgot. They came out about 15 mins later. The 2 pizzas in my photos were the same pizza... not sure what happened there.

The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!
