Been a little over 10 years since the last visit here. Our server, Kim was kind and had an upbeat, happy, and comedic attitude. She knows how to treat people and make them feel welcomed. They also had great food. My tenderloin sandwich was huge...took me a whole to eat it. Will be coming back in the future for sure.

AMAZING food! My husband and I stopped in for dinner at Steamboat Gardens for dinner. The food was amazing, I had The Anchor sandwich and my husband had the Pound in a Pound. The food came out quickly and hot! The fries are the best! The cod was cooked perfectly and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Took a slice of pie home with me! Highly recommended this place, and the atmosphere isn’t loud!

I'm giving Steamboat Gardens 5 stars hands down. We tried The Barge and a Sloppy Joel. The Barge was huge, had great flavor and was fried to perfection. The Sloppy Joel was absolutely delicious, just the right amount of sweetness. We will definitely be back to try some of their great weekly specials. Such a cool little diner / dive bar vibe!
