Went mainly to see Nick Perkins, an Elvis tribute performer. He is great, has a fabulous voice. He is also very personable and has a great rapport with his audience. The food was very good too. We had a roast beef pobit and hamburger steak. They were both great.

Last night's visit to Mariner's was disappointing to say the least. As someone that frequented the restaurant often when I lived here to occasionally so now that I live in Mississippi it was a disappointment! The staff was short handed. The drinks were inconsistent. The baked potato was overcooked and the experience was horrible! The service from the employees were as well as can be expected with what they had to deal with! It seemed like 3 people were running around taking care of the entire restaurant including bartending. Our experience overall was barely a 1! And THE TOPPER for everything - one of the friends in our party ordered sweet potato fries with her meal. The fries were served with cinammon sprinkled on them which she is extremely allergic to! Luckily our night intended on having several stops and she had used precaution and taken benadryl before we left or this would have turned out completely different!!! What was suppose to be a birthday celebration of 63 years for myself turned into an early night of disappointment!! I felt sorry for the staff - they definitely worked for their pay last night!!! Side note: the band was good and the atmosphere was pleasant but WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!

The service, food, music and atmosphere was great! The only thing I did not like, was a drunk wedding party trying to sing while I was shooting pool lol. They now have two pool tables

Francis was an absolute angel! She was honestly the best server I’ve ever had. After a night of drinks this is definitely the place to go! Super friendly service and great food.

A really good experience. Outdoor meal with a live band. The food was fresh and hot, the servers were nice and helpful. Especially Amanda! Eating at the restaurant is 100x better than getting it to go. I had the crawfish meat pies, and a softshell crab po-boy. 10/10. I also got to try the Thai Tuna, and the flavor from the sauce makes it worth every dollar.

Hammond classic. Still the best burgers and oyster on a bun. I've been coming here when in town for 40 years.
