steve's marina restaurant

complete waste of time and money. i wanted to take my family out for a lovely lunch by the beach and it turned out to be very horrid. the restaurant was same so u expect the staff to be warm and inviting but no. the hostess seated us and had to come again to take our drink orders because our waiter took so long to greet us. when finally did come he was unprofessional by stated to my husband hey big guy what will you have, and to me he stated ok ms lady.... why is wrong with sir and madam? the order took forever to arrive and when it did well my dish lacked the appeal i was hoping. i asked the waitress for napkins and she did not bother to follow through. i quickly saw that i must have been eating while black why may service sucked!!!!! don't waste your money!!! too bad for the owners i'll be sure to let all of my very affluent friends to skip their horrible service.

date night. came here with my husband and sat on the bar side. the waitress was friendly. the food was yummy. and the drinks were strong.

great meal during the holidays. my wife and i enjoy a great, affordable meal at steve's. i have many friends who always talk about how good it is and we were finally able to go. we had the fried green tomatoes (qty served on plate 4) and it was very good. my wife had the stuffed fish chandelier (flounder) and i had the shrimp diane. both were excellent (we shared samples with each other).
service (jake) was great also. i will go again soon. very nice atmosphere as well.

the bad reviews are correct. we ate here 3 years ago and were looking forward to proving the nay sayers wrong. unfortunately they are right. we have eaten at a dozen seafood restaurants from new orleans to pns, and by a mile, steve's is the worst in terms of quality of seafood and service. the staff is very friendly but unorganized. if there was a manager on duty, it was not apparent. we waited at our table for a long time before anyone asked if we had a server. when we said no, they promised one would help us but no one came. when our sever finally recognized our table, she was great but the food was bland and lacked any resemblance of fresh gulf coast seafood. there are better options than steve's in this area.

steve's marina'a food is absolutely awful. they have no idea how to cook fish, shrimp, steak, or crab. i honestly felt like druggies made the food. the service was exceptionally awful and every type of liquor seemed like they filled it with beams 8 star. the management of steve's is inexistent. no one cares about service or quality. if i visited the mississippi gulf coast i would go elsewhere, every aspect of steve's marina(regardless of the miniature harbor) is a joke. bartenders can't make drinks because they seem incompetent. i will never go to steves marina again. if you go, prepared to be disappointed and probably disrespected. if you have a problem, expect it to be swept under the rug. i like the mississippi gulf coast, but steve's marina should be boycotted for their business management and tactics. small business can't afford to exhibit negative qualities, if any restaurant were to open nearby, steve's would be shut down. if you enjoy it you must be local, because they treat people without respect. owners and managers have no character. steve's should be closed asap

good food. nice atmosphere but a little over priced on their drinks. overall the food was good, not great. i had the tuna seared. our server was absent but for once during our meal and we had to wait a long time for our check. the view was nice, beautiful view of the marina.

ive never left here hungry. excellent food and service. when its warm...i love to eat on the balcony and enjoy the ocean view. when the waiter tells you a special, take it, something i never do anywhere else. trust me. i am picky about my food.

best gumbo ever. period.

what a disaster of a meal last night. picked steve's marina for my dad's birthday. first of all when my dad and stepmom told the manager party of 8 they acted like they could not accommodate. they were not that busy but said they had a big party coming in that had reservations. so they decided they could. well the waitress was obviously new on a saturday night. not a great move. we had appetizers, drinks and then food. well they forgot the salads. then they bring the salads and me and my wife have the wrong dressing. i ordered a $20+ dish and well they got it wrong. needless to say bad experience. so i tell the mgr and tell him it is my dad's birthday. after speaking to him he said he would comp the drinks and would bring dessert for my dad since it was his birthday. well no drinks were not comp and no desserts. what a joke. my wife and i always refer a lot of out of town people to this place but i won't anymore.

not the same great place. what a disaster of a meal last night. picked steve's marina for my dad's birthday. first of all when my dad and stepmom told the manager party of 8 they acted like they could not accommodate. they were not that busy but said they had a big party coming in that had reservations. so they decided they could. well the waitress was obviously new on a saturday night. not a great move. we had appetizers, drinks and then food. well they forgot the salads. then they bring the salads and me and my wife have the wrong dressing. i ordered a $20+ dish and well they got it wrong. needless to say bad experience. so i tell the mgr and tell him it is my dad's birthday. after speaking to him he said he would comp the drinks and would bring dessert for my dad since it was his birthday. well no drinks were not comp and no desserts. what a joke. my wife and i always refer a lot of out of town people to this place but i won't anymore.

great food. there were 3 of us that dined at steve's marina restuarant in long beach last night 3-4-14. my husband and i both had the seafood platter and our cousin had the rib eye. our seafood platter was absolutely wonderful. the fried oysters were the largest and best fried oysters i've ever had anywhere. light crunchy batter, perfectly prepared. shrimp were fresh and very good as was the fish. our cousin said the rib eye was prepared just right and very good. our salads were cold and very fresh. service was excellent. couldn't have ask for better dining experience. will we return and recommend this place??? absolutely!!!!!

delicious shrimp poboy! try the yum yum bread!

staff was friendly and helpful, but good was bland and mediocre. personally i wouldn't go back, seemed a bit touristy too.

the service was good and friendly, but the food was really bland. the best thing was the crawfish tails. the crust on the fried food was heavy, not thick, and no flvor. it was almost stale.

do not waste your time! the food is nasty and extremely overpriced plus the staff nor the manager cares if you actually enjoy your experience there! my wife and i went there last night and she ordered stuffed flounder with chandelier sauce. the stuffed flounder with chandelier sauce was nothing but stovetop stuffing and celery! she wouldn't even eat her salad because it was brown, soggy and withered! i had the seafood platter! we also ordered the crab fingers for 12.95, half sautéed and the other half fried! needless to say, they were tiny and tasted like pepper and grease! the fried shrimp were hard, rubbery and sandy. the fried flounder tasted like grease and fish jerky! it was actually a horrible meal. my wife literally took 5 bites of the supposed flounder and was disgusted! my wife is sweet as can be and was very polite but the waitress asked if everything was ok (like she cared) and my wife said she was very disappointed but still thanked her for asking! the manger troy then came over and asked the same thing. i told him the food was very disappointing and horrible and that all you could taste was indeed the celery and stuffing and he did nothing but offer us free bread pudding which was dried out, old tasting and crusty according the people who were sitting next to us! she left her entire full plate of food there on the table and refused a to go box because the food was so horrible. the tab was 60.00 dollars which we paid but i should have insisted they remove my wife's meal as she ate nothing but no, we left and politely told them we would not be back and they said, "ok, yal have a good nite", then went back to talking to each other like it was no big deal! they do not care about your enjoyment or if your happy!!! there are a lot of beautiful places on the mississippi gulf coast ! try darwell's in long beach, the white cap in gulfport and many others but i strongly suggest you stay away from steve's marina!!!!

delicious. i've been to this place 3 times and have eaten the seafood stuffed fried green tomatoes each time. i recommend this dish to anyone, anywhere. the wait was nonexistent and the service was an 8 out of 10. i will be back.

have eaten there 3 times and all 3 times have been consistent .. very good..
