My Pecan crusted redfish was terrible, my $1.00 pack of tuna fish that I had earlier in the day was better than this platter, salad was best part of my meal.

We were visiting from Dallas. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Kristen was a wonderful waitress giving food suggestions and being very attentive. It was our friends birthday and Kristen acknowledged that and gave her a free dessert. The food was very very delicious. Of course the sunset on the water did not disappoint.

The crab cakes were different this time. Thicker and more breading made the texture doughy. I was disappointed. But oysters and shrimp were great as usual. Thank goodness for some good food on the peninsula. Love your restaurant.

It is a huge hassle to deal with your online
Reservation. Having to make it on the same day only -it’s very inconvenient to say the least. When I tried to reserve my preferred time it said there were no reservations available but when I called the restaurant there were plenty of empty spots and even when I arrived over half the restaurant was empty

All of kiddos said the chicken tenders were very plain....absolutely bland. They tried ketchup, ranch, avocado ranch....you name it. Nothing helped.
The tacos however were exceptional!!!!

I always love Steve’s Landing. I don’t like the two-person tables at the end of the bar so much and that’s where we were at, but I understand. Also, an air vent was blowing right on us there so it was kind of cold. Server had a great personality and we liked him but didn’t check on us quite as quickly as would have been nice. Place was busy though, so understandable. I never leave there unhappy though!

The food was excellent. Probably hands down, the best beer battered fried shrimp I've had and I grew up on the Texas gulf coast. Service was slow, which is understandable given the situation with COVID has left restaurants short staffed but we did have reservations. The table wasn't ready and once seated, it took over 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. The staff was friendly and apologetic. It was very loud in the restaurant. We had a party of 8 and there was no way we could all communicate with each other.

One of our favorite places to visit when we are on Bolivar. Our server was very easy going and we all liked how he took care of the kids and ladies first, then then the men. Additional staff that helped bring out the food and drinks were just as nice. Everything we ate was delicious. Always a good time.

Always a lovely time at Steve’s Landing. We ate there two times this week. The food is great and so are the views. Last night we had the crabcakes , the fried mushrooms, shrimp tikka and blackened catfish. We had very good service and enjoyed our time. Steve’s is the best restaurant on the peninsula. The parking is sometimes a challenge.

Great sunset dinner, the fish tacos were wonderful. The shrimp and grits are interesting, the sauce is a Tika Masala, so it tends to cover up the jalapeno cheese grits which is unfortunate because they are amazing. I'll definitely go there again!

Very fun and special birthday celebration. Reserved table on the deck was ready upon arrival; service was prompt and friendly; Shrimp Tikka, crab cakes, and chicken friend steak were all delicious. Looking forward to returning soon. Inside dining is really loud, but outdoors is lovely. Enjoyed the view over the Intracoastal canal, and the barge traffic.
