    Crab fingers (to go)
    Greg J.

    Old school seafood restaurant. Dark walls, carts to deliver food. Food is good. I love their crab fingers particularly. Their fried fish & shrimp are crispy and tasty. Don't miss the twice baked potatoes.

    ribeye

    My family ordered four ribeyes, and to our absolute disbelief, three of them showed up as nothing more than slabs of fat. There was barely any actual meat on them at all. When we brought this to the manager's attention, he only half-apologized and then immediately tried to justify it by claiming that all their ribeyes were "the same," as if serving cooked chunks of fat somehow qualified as a proper steak. He refused to remake the meals and told us we could "order something else" if we didn't like it, which was unbelievably dismissive and unprofessional. It honestly felt like they were hoping we wouldn't complain and would just accept being served subpar food. The only redeeming part of the entire visit was our waitress, who was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly doing her best despite the nonsense coming from management.

    OMG !!! First timer but not a last timer !!! Extensive menu choices make it hard on what to choose. Great atmosphere, service, and food !!! A must try if you're in the area !!!

    the exterior of the restaurant
    Huong E.

    Looked like a nice restaurant with history and great decor, however was not impressed with the food or wait staff. Very limited beer selection and unknowledgeable wait staff about the beer selections. Asked the waitress where the local land mark "Welkom Nederland" sign was and had no clue. Neither offered to ask. Waitress did not smile and seemed very disinterest and not enjoying her job. My Pontchartrain sauce did not look appealing. It was a yolk yellow and did not taste like any Pontchartrain I have ever tasted. The oyster Po boy was good, but did need a sauce. Asked for tarter sauce for on the sandwich.

    Horrible experience I order the 1855 wagyu steak and bake potato, husband ordered T-bone steak and jambalaya. Appetizer we got the schooner sampler. The stuffed jalapeños were not cooked all the way. My wagyu steak I wasnt unable to chew it the closer I got to the middle and the bake potato was dry. Came to the table cold with topping on the side. The tbone was greasy and well done on one side and medium rare on the other. We never got our salad, soda was flat manager was rude most definitely wasn't expecting for a discount cause we were just going as first timers. I guess since we looked younger than the usual crowd he was expecting for us to request a discount! But the manager came to the table telling us how many bite we took. Seem like a senior citizen type of restaurant so understandable that's why a refund wasn't expected but for him to come to the table and not take to criticism openly show how undermining and unprofessional this manager is. Will never return but may may not be missed again this restaurant is for a older crowd

    Shrimp & crab gumbo. Phenomenal.
    Ryan S.

    The Schooner is a nice seafood restaurant in Port Arthur. It's fancy but not overly so. As much as it pains me to say this, as I am from Louisiana, it turns out that Louisiana does not have a monopoly on mixing flour and oil. The Schooner's shrimp & crab gumbo was fantastic. Easily in my top 5 favorite gumbos. I also had the fried crab claws with tartar sauce and those were great as well. For a long time I've referred to this combo as my death row meal and if it came from The Schooner that'd be fine by me. Oh the grand margarita was great also.

    Lunch blackened catfish
    Dion T.

    I went here for a quick company lunch, and was I disappointed. As an avid fan of seafood, I was looking forward to it. I ordered the lunch blacked catfish that came with a salad and a side. The catfish was VERY bland and the food was just not good. The salad was only good because I drowned it with the thousand island dressing, which I'll admit the dressing was good, if it was made in house (which I doubt). The potato salad was enormous, and honestly the only thing that gave this review two stars. It had chunks of potatoes in it, which if you can tell from my previous reviews that I love texture. All in all, although, my co-workers seemed to enjoy the atmosphere for the most part, the food was mediocre at best and the service was subpar.

    The service was good, but my husband got food poisoning from the stuffed mushroom appetizer. We probably won't go again.
