"Had the shrimp tacos. Not much flavor even with added hot sauce.Definitely wished for some Old Bay. My husband had the salmon & that seemed better. Overall good experience with the service, drinks, location and cost. Look forward up trying something else on their menu that will give that Cajun flavor and flare."

"When we walked in I could tell the food would be good due to the aesthetics! The place looks a bit dumpy but that’s when you know the food is going to be good! Our waitress was extremely attentive! Very on point! Service was quick! The sautéed crab claws were delicious! We also had the chargrilled oysters which were a bit smaller than we are accustomed to but still really good & flavorful! Me & hubby had the catfish platters & the fish tasted like it was just caught that morning! Really fresh! Fried green tomatoes & the fried okra were really good as well! And shout out to the bartender who made the margaritas! They were amazing!"

"A gem in the rather “fancy” community of Cool Springs, the Steamer is cram packed full of an atmosphere that will have you coming back for more. An incredible menu that never disappoints and staff that are the right balance of attentive and only slightly sassy, come together to create what has become a favorite among travelers and locals alike.
Highly recommend Redfish Rockefeller or Melvin’s Chicken!"
