This is one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The wait staff hung out at the bar and were loud and ingored their customers. The food was slow in arriving, cool to cold in temperature and completely unoriginal in preparation. Basically a watering hole for the river rats that live nearby. If you're doing a study on the southern alcoholic this is a great place to sit and study, but don't order anything.

I have eaten here a few times in the past and the food was very good, the service, except for maybe once, was good. But, last night, 10/20/07, myself and four others dined there and the whole experience was awful. First, the hostess was totally inept, then of course things went downhill from there, the service was awful as was the food. The majority of us ordered the grouper special, well, we all agreed it was more then likely not grouper and to top it off was luke warm at best. One of our appetizers, onion rings was brought out cold, this is after a very LONG wait for them. When I asked the waitress about the appetizers, after she had brought out the salads she of course said they were working on them and then as she left the table, rolled her eyes. They had at least 6 waitesses working and still could not manage to provide good service. Our waitress was extremely lucky we left a tip, we really should not have. We will more then likely not ever dine there again, this includes those occasions when we have out of town guests who generally request we dine at the Mariner. I give this restraunt 2 stars and I am being generous.
Went there a couple of weekends ago with my wife on her birthday for breakfast. It was fabulous! The employees were friendly and very knowledgable. The strawberry tea is supurb. And afterwards you can walk around downtown. You couldn't ask for a

The food was excellent. It was the best fried shrimp I have had in years. There were very generous portions. Very! The crawfish dipping sauce was great. The fried dishes were tasty and not heavily breaded.I can't wait to go back.
The space and location are nice. We had an event there with no airconditioning. People left as soon as possible to get some relief from the heat and most people couldn't eat much because they started to feel ill. Also our food was set out at 5pm even

Noone should miss the huge crab claws!!! The friendly atmosphere and wait staff are better than any I have ever experienced. The entire menu is moderately priced, from steaks to seafood to sandwiches. Papageorges also has the best hamburger in tow
