Shiners On The Levee

Food was great. Meats were moist and not overcooked. Salad was fresh. Service was good. Bartender was very friendly and efficient.

I have tried to dine at Shiners two times before this one. On weekends it is very busy and difficult to get a table. We ended up going on a weekday and were able to be sat immediately. They had live music playing that was very fun, and lots of tvs with sports playing. Overall, everything was just ok. The service was fine, the food wasn't anything over the top exciting. Maybe my expectations were really high since it was so difficult to get in before this, but I didn't really see what the hype was about in terms of the food. The vibe of the restaurant seems like a fun place to order apps and alcohol to watch a game or to have more of a bar atmosphere, but for a restaurant is was very middle of the road.

First Take - Huge place inside and outdoor seating. Looks like a great place to watch a live game and even a stage for live music (none when I was there, but potential). Service was excellent, kind people and very prompt when checking back in on me. Kudos to the front of the house, and the only reason this isn't a 1. Feasting - The BBQ is the worst I've ever had. Had the brisket and the ribs lunch plate, and they were just awful. Brisket was all fat, almost as if it was trimmed in reverse then thrown on a smoker. Flavor of the bark had potential but boy it was bad. The ribs, don't waste your time. Imagine the worst ribs you can imagine, have them sit in the sun and then tossed in a dry rub. Baked beans were great actually, and so was the Loaded Baked Potato. Green beans were likely out of a can, and the Brussels sprouts actually had a good flavor as well. Do not, I truly mean do not go for the Mac. Final Words - I am sure there's got to be something good here as it's such a huge establishment, it just wasn't good to me--especially coming from Texas. Pro Tip - Try the burger, saw several folks order that and it looked decent.

What a fun little bar. The food was the most surprising, it was really, really good. The atmosphere was a little dull for a weeknight ( we were hoping for line dancing, but none the night we went). We were with a group of about 10 and our server handled our larger group effortlessly. I wasn't terribly hungry so I just ordered a couple of sliders with fries and they were simple and delish (not dry like sliders sometimes end up). A friend of mine ordered a salad and let me tell you, it was GORGEOUS and TASTY (of course I tried it). The presentation was shockingly beautiful and felt almost out of place in this country bar/restaurant, which is what made it so amazing. I'm sure I'll be back!

We returned tonight and there was nobody there on a Friday night and it didn't take long to figure out why. My sweet tea was pure simple syrup and clear, my husband's old fashioned was terrible and all three of us had ice cold food. My pulled pork was honestly not edible. It was a big, cold chunk of meat - I left almost all of it on my plate along with the half cooked, cold French fries. The server didn't ask if I wanted a box or if there was a problem - he didn't care. It was a disaster of a meal and would never go back!

Great country and pop music really dig the vibes wish I had more friends into that type of music !!!! I went mid summer and they had free mechanical bull riding !!!! On Thursdays they got karaoke with amazing food and free pool. The couches are real comfy ! Def a great date night

First of all this place is huge. They have outdoor seating, a beautiful bar, a stage and seating suitable for groups. We sat outside and it was a gorgeous night. The food is amazing. When you walk in the smells grab your attention. Our friends got the grill out which is enough food for a crowd and their version of potato skins. Yummy. I got the chick and pic the best chicken sandwich ever. My hubby got the brisket. We were all happy.

Some friends and I wanted to hang out, so someone suggested Shiners on the Levee. I wanted to like it, but this place left me feeling it was just "OK".Shiners is not hard to find, thanks to the bright signage, and inside was pretty clean. The hostess was friendly and I was able to find my friends easily. Our server was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, which we really appreciated. The prices were a little higher than I had expected, but I had figured the portions would make up for it. One friend ordered a Pork Chop with Mashed Potatoes and the other, a Grilled Reuben with a Fried Pork Chop on it. I ordered a Shiner Cheeseburger (single patty) with Sweet Potato Fries.We waited for our food, as our server refilled my Coca-Cola and my friends' beers. I previously mentioned the portions would justify the higher than expected price. For my friends' food, it did, but not for mine. Their food portion was much larger than mine, (both meat and potatoes). My fries were sparse and my burger was quite small. Both items I had were not very flavorful, and the bill was pretty high. I was well disappointed but tried to look on the bright side: I was with friends in an environment we could talk in.The twist came with the "Potato Barrels" I had ordered to go. I brought these home, and my family LOVED them. These appetizers were like loaded potato skins, but with FULL FLAVOR! They were so good, I had wished I had ordered these instead of my burger and fries.Location, environment and the Potato Barrels are the best things at Shiners on the Levee. I hope Shiners would consider suggesting items for people who like larger portions, or a full plate.

Rocky and Alex are the best bartenders in all of Newport! Great atmosphere great vibes! Definitely will be back all the time!

I was craving some wings. My family and I decided to check it out since it was right next door to the bowling alley. The vibe was okay but the food was horrible. The wings had no taste; bland. My husband said the brisket were dry. I don't know who the owner is but you must advise your kitchen to do a better job and not provide mediocre food.
