We could hardly get into this joint due to the wonderful, warm sunny weather and the people who flocked to the out of doors. The food was pretty great although the beer batter was a little less than flavorful. We ordered the fried prawns and cod and while the shrimp and fish were very fresh and cooked perfectly, the batter... More

Most of the visits we make are to a packed restaurant. The food is expensive. I figure many have coupons or are just hungry from the park and nothing else is available. The views are very nice but it is situated in a not-so-great by the train and the street little cranny. Parking can be difficult. The food is ok.... More

Steamers is the place to go if you want seafood. The selection is fine and it's a family freindly place. It's well priced and has great service to go along with the food. More

If visiting Tacoma, this is a GREAT place for seafood and the view is unbeatable -- it is OVER the water at Titlow Beach. In addition to the seafood, they make really good burgers. More

Salad greens were wilted, Cod filet the size of a Tablespoon and overcooked. French fries cold and greasy. Service is great. Resaurant is clean. Fodd was awful. What has happened? More

When I first moved to the Tacoma area I ended up moving into an apartment less than a mile away and that is how I discovered this place. In a nut shell this is good food on the water for a good price. You will not find a better value for waterfront dinning. I highly recommend grabbing dinner at sunset;... More

You're in Tacoma and want to enjoy steamed clams along with a view of the Narrows. This is the place for you ! A short but well rounded menu, convenient self-service and low prices. Beer and wine are offered but can only be consumed in the restaurant and not in the outdoor area. Recently added deep fried Pacific Sole is... More

Went for fathers day and the food was great! We sat right by a window so we got a great view of the water. Everyone enjoyed their food. I would recommend getting a reservation. We did and glad we did as there was a wait for over an hour. People were waiting.... That's how good it is. More

I ate at Steamers with several friends. We had gotten all dressed up to go out to eat and then had a miscommunication over where we were going and ended up at this very casual restaurant. I am glad we did! The food was very good and the service was friendly! I highly recommend the clam chowder! We ate outside... More
