High cost meal failed to meet overall expectations.dining experience was reduced by poor, slow service.the food, Ribeye steak and Cajun linguini were delicious. they were also kind of pricey. the shrimp cocktail appetizer was nice too. the staff, although they we nice enough, werent very attentive, even though the place wasnt busy at all. we were left waiting way too long. After the meal we agreed to a dessert of lava cake. It took so very long we gave up and walked in and cancelled and just wanted the check to leave. the manager didnt seem to pleased and didnt even look me in the eye. if you choose to go there, make sure you get seated indoors, its much nicer. the outside seating was basic at best with basically lawn chairs at a small wobbly table.the experience just failed to make us feel like we made the right decision to go there. perhaps it was just an off day.

Came here to celebrate and our waitress was fantastic. We got the shrimp cocktail, pork chop and New York Steak. We where also treated to a lava cake (which was missing the lava but was still fantastic). When we where leaving at 7 on a Friday, a band was about to set up to play.

The experience of the location is what makes this place special. The food is nothing to write home about. Although my husbands pork chop was quite tasty, and the cheesecake was good, but notice how tiny the piece is. And my salmon was tiny, too. For $36 I want to have more than 5 bites of salmon. It wasnt seasoned much, either. The couscous had very little flavor. But it was fun being on an historic boat. And we enjoyed people watching on the river. We saw a lady dip her toe and fall in (she was pulled out and was fine,) a boat full of twerkers, tour boats, 20-somethings partying. And the staff were great and provided excellent service. But they do need to do something about the flies.

Well this was our first time eating here. It was by fluke because the first two places we were going to had over a two hour wait. We decided to check this place out, and our wait was maybe 10 minutes. With that being said, here we go!The Delta King is a big river boat. We had outside seating so the views were very nice. The chairs arent the most comfortable, so that could use some improvement. Our server was very nice and attentive to us. We started with the calamari. It was average but good. The dipping sauce made it nice because it had a little bite to it. We ordered the American Wagyu burger. Thick juicy patty with lettuce, tomato, pickle and red onion. They come dry so youll need to ask for mayo or whatever your heart desires.It was a very nice lunch with great weather and views of boats cruising by. Id like to try their dinner menu sometime. Definitely check it out.

We will never eat here again. I made reservations for outside seating weeks in advance and we were told there wasnt any available when we arrived. We mentioned this to our waiter, he found several open seats outside and let us move. The staff was all fairly nice but very unorganized and our waitress seemed to be stretched pretty thin. I ordered a pork chop and she asked how Id like it cooked... I thought she was joking so I said all the way When she brought it out it was completely raw in the middle... At this point we just asked for our check. The waitress said a manager would come talk to us, she returned within minutes with no manager and our check, I paid and we left. It bothered me so I called and spoke to a manager when we got home. He said he would try to reverse the charges for our drinks or more, he didnt... We are very easy going people who arent looking for freebies and rarely complain, but this place is pretty bad. So much for a nice valentines day dinner with my wife on the river.

The vet place was nice, cool unique experience and the server was ok a little over worked if you ask me. (Still tipped well)The food was very cold, bland, and the flavors did not mesh well together. We ordered steak meals and my med rare steak came out cold, dry, and tasteless. I was extremely surprised the absolute low quality food. Maybe it was an off day, but Applebee’s has a much better steak for $10 lol.I asked for a cocktail menu and they didn’t have one. The server said we have a full bar and we ca. Make anything! After a few drink suggestions…. They can’t make squat! So I order something common (mai tai). I kid you not it came out looking like soda and tastes like gasoline.I have been to some crumby places, but this was terrible. Once again to reiterate, our server was nice, funny, busy and the scenery was nice but. It the food or the $160 bill, was a mistake. I would never step foot on the river queen of my life depended on it.Note; save your money and go to any other restaurant than this one. Didn’t even take the leftovers home after 4 bites.

Menu hasn’t been updated on website for two years. Resturant closes at 4 pm and reopens at 5pm. So for one hour u can’t get any food from kitchen. They no longer have prime rib at all, which is the reason we made reservations. Shrimp cocktails are $19. For 5 small shrimp. We will never go back. Was suppposed to be a special event. We wanted to sit outside but was told no because people were taking pitchers. So we asked for a window table and was told none were available. We parked in valet and was told to validate our ticket that it would be free but when we went to claim our car we were told we owed $8. And had to be cash only. Take my advice and find another Resturant. Three of us ate lunch and total was $132. Worst tasting food ever. Associates were dressed sloppy. Especially the manager. I’m telling you do not eat here. I will be contacting chamber of commerce and the highest manager of the delta king I can and will be setting up a Yelp account to give my review on their website

The BEST hotel breakfast Ive probably ever experienced. The wait staff is wonderfully kind, the food is fabulous, and the action on the river was quite entertaining.

A historic boat with a hotel, theater and restaurant inside. I had the pleasure eating here. The views of the water and surrounding area was astounding. Get here for a sunset and be awed. The food was better than the view. The heirloom tomato side salad was oh so good and should be on every table. I love Cioppino it was great. The heavenly flourless chocolate cake was worth the cheat on my diet. If you are looking for a place to celebrate a special date, don’t hesitate make reservation today.
