STARS: * Service - knowledgeable, attentive and enthusiastic * King crab - fresh and sweet * Dessert - chocolate cake & bread pudding

This is the best meal I have ever eaten. My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding!

My wife and I went to JRS to have a nice dinner for her birthday. The only early reservations “5:15” were at the bar only. The bar stools were very comfortable. So don’t let that deter you from making that reservation. All the servers at...the bar were excellent and we never needed anything. The food was 5 star from the appetizer to dessert. We had the crab dip,snapper,little steamer and creme brûlée. The cocktails were also very good. Will definitely return and recommend!!!More

Beautiful appointed restaurant right on the Jordan river. We were seated with an excellent view of the water. Everything was delicious. Starting off with lumpcrab meat with brie, the crab lumps were very visible and were surrounded by a melted brie cheese dip. The dungess...crabs were wonderful as well as the Royal Red Shrimp. There is many vairiations of how you can choose to have your seafood by asking for Dungess Crab, Snow Crab or King crab, how many bundles you want and if you would like to pair it with Royal Red Shrimp. Although we didn't have lobster, it is available. Each platter is served with boiled potato and corn on the cob.After eating, your waiter will bring you a bowl with lemon and hot water to wash your hands. This is really the best place to eat if you are a crab lover. Price for 4 was $350 so not that cheap but well worth the money.More

Best Food & Best Service Anywhere Around ! I don’t say that likely ! You have to make a reservation, but I like that so there’s no waiting. Food came out quick and tasted exceptional, Exceeded all of our expectations!

Excellent choice. Delicious food with great service. Hellabella was amazing appetizer. Would recommend!

We were hobbling along toward Biloxi after a day of bad travel experiences and needed something to eat before it got too late. We saw a sign for JRS and after traveling on a really dark road, we found it, happily. We really had excellent...food. We did not order much because it was late but what we had was delicious. My companions raved about the bread pudding. The server was extremely well-informed. We even received a tour of the spotless kitchen and learned a lot about the restaurant. Cannot recommend highly enough. It is pricey.More

Once again the Jordan River Steamer has lived up to its fine reputation and provided a delightful dining experience. Mother’s Day, probably one of the busiest days of the year and we were given the professional attention by Shannon that one would expect at a...higher caliber establishment. Pleasantly impressed by his service. The menu was superb, we enjoyed one of the day’s specials, Trout Almondine which was delicious. I tried the aged Ribeye, cooked to perfection and the taste was sublime. My wife enjoyed the Filet that melted in her mouth. We started with three appetizers, Smoked Tuna, I believe it is the best I have tried on the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast, Shrimp cocktail, topped with Crab and Caviar, mouth watering and also we tried the Oysters, baked with Hollandaise and Caviar. A unique way to serve baked oysters. Our cocktails were perfect as well. Shannon made sure that all of our needs were met, what a delight!More

The service was great. Drinks were nice and strong:) Our meals were OK but not up to the quality that you would expect for the $$$$ we spent. A $68 dollar steak should taste better than a $25 cafe steak. It wasn’t anything special. The...wife had Alaska king crab and some crabmeat and caviar salad dish. She also said it was good but not great. They we’re out of oysters:( You can find better restaurants for a lot less and no need for a long drive.More

My husband, son, and I went to JRS for dinner last night. I got a pound of royal reds, my husband got the special (red snapper) and my son ordered a ribeye. My shrimp were excellent--perfectly cooked and flavorful. My husband's fish was good, but...could have used more seasoning. It relied on a healthy ladle of hollandaise, which, would normally be a good thing, except this particular sauce was bland and tasteless. My son's steak was very well marbled. Unfortunately, my son's 13-year-old palate found it "fatty." I told him to eat what he could from the steak and focus on the sides. Soon after our food was delivered a man (I assume a manager) came by our table and asked the usual "How is everything?" My son remarked that his steak had a lot of fat on it. The manager offered to get him something else and suggested a leaner filet. My son agreed. The manager scooped up my son's plate and left with it. I wished he'd left the side dishes so my son would have something to eat. I reasoned the manager would rather re-present the entire dish than swap out the steak. Right before the second steak came out our waitress brought us a to-go box with the original ribeye wrapped up. Naively, I thought it was because they didn't want to throw it out and waste the food. Wrong. When we got the bill both steaks were on there. What really bothers me is that the manager offered to replace my son's meal. It's not as if we insisted on sending it back. In fact, we were fine with keeping it. If my son had still been hungry, I could have ordered him a soup or salad or even a desert. Any of those would have come in at 1/5 the price of another steak! I dine out a lot. Whether it's been a Michelin-starred restaurant or a national chain or a hole-in-the wall diner, I have never encountered this custom of leaving the replaced meal on the bill. I think most restaurants, and especially higher-priced ones, rely on the good faith of their customers. After all, how many people would pay the high prices for fine dining if they knew they'd be stuck with dry rubbery crab or undercooked chicken? Most restaurants have the foresight to realize the value of a repeat customer. I have a family of 5, which translates to a $250-$300 check at a place like JRS. We are local, too. JRS could have been our go-to place for seafood. However, I prefer to reward businesses that deliver excellent customer service and won't be returning to JRS.More

We had a party of 6 adults and 5 kids for my father-in-law’s birthday, and the experience was 5-star from start to finish. Dylan was very attentive and knowledgeable, and he did an excellent job serving our table. Mike (the GM) visited our table several...times to ensure that everything was exceeding our expectations. And the food was hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. I highly recommend Jourdan River Steamer and will return in the future!!!More

Jourdan River Steamer is located on a very scenic bend in the river with indoor and outdoor dining areas . Outdoor areas are cooled by ceiling fans and heated by gas fired overhead heaters when needed. Reservations are required but we’re no problem to get....Upon arrival we were greeted and brought to our table , an outdoor deck area - very nice, very clean. The menu is abundant ! We made our choices and within minutes our food arrived . Mine the Lobster Kadobster, Hera a combo plate, both presented very luxuriously. Portions were adequate but not on the large side. Tasty but not a “ oh wow, this is good “ taste. Service was EXCELLENT at JRS. Our server Dawn was the perfect server, explaining the dishes prior to ordering and took great care of us the whole time. Other staff also checked in on us during our meal. A very nice touch. Desserts were both great - Creme Brûlée and Chocolate Mousse Cake, Overall location 10, service 10 , food 7. Total experience was great and we will recommend JRS to everyone.More
