Reviews for Steamboat Bill's on the Lake in Lake Charles, LA

This was our second time here and the food was still as good as the first visit. The portions are plentiful and tasty and the... Sweet Tea isn't too sweet, just the way I like it. I ordered a Shrimp Gumbo for an appetizer which was just the right amount toshare with my wife. My wife ordered a cup of Red Beans and Rice that was good as well, but it was just a tad too salty. It's nota deal breaker and I made sure that cup was empty in the end!lol The restaurant itself is off of I-10 just over the bridge,extremely easy to find and was only a 12 minute drive for us from the L'auberge/Golden Nugget Casinos. It's a well kept, cleanspot that definitely has that Louisiana/Cajun vibe. It's kid friendly also, which is always a plus for us. If you're in thearea, it's definitely worth the stop! Read more

This place had a line out the door but once you get inside, you see why. Plenty of hungry people patiently waiting because... what's inside is worth the wait. Friendly Staff that keep this place running smoothly and efficiently. Fish was fried toperfection, nice, light and fluffy with the perfect amount of breading. Boudin Balls were cooked perfectly and served steaminghot. Soft Shell Crab was again cooked to perfection. Wonderful Place! Read more
