Just moved back to the area to live near family, and the huz and I set to work immediately to find "our joint." Of the several restaurants we've sampled, Mariner's won and continues to own that status hands down. Great food, good drinks, homey fun atmosphere, and open late to boot. They even know how to make a burger that's nice and RARE. Not pre-cooked. Just wonderful. We're sold! Any of the burgers, the mini meat-pie appetizers, the crab-bisque or gumbo...all just so good. White Russians, too! Go. Now. It'll make you happy. :)

Good menu selection, but my wife has food allergies to MSG and they were not much help in helping to find something safe. Pretty much just stated everything is marinated in something. You really should know what you are serving your customers!!!! She had a cheese sandwich and I had a burger. It was OK, but I have had better.

Oh my goodness gracious! Mariner's Inn is my kind of place. I recently found myself in Ponchatoula with some time to kill while my oldest rehearsed for the choir. Having absolutely no clue where to go, I consulted with my go to expert on all things Tangi. My buddy Topher grew up nearby in one of the funniest named towns: Pumkin Center, LA. Seriously y'all, that's the name of the town. Anyway, he recommended Mariner's so that's where I headed. When I got to downtown Hammond I was surprised how crowded it was, especially for a Thursday night. I had to circle the block a few times before finally finding a parking sport right out front. I had to parallel park, but remembered smooth fluid movements and next thing you know, I was parked. Mariner's had a nautical theme which made sense. There were maps, ships wheels, glass fishing floats and other nautical themed items on display. I guess that type of decor is not for everyone, but for me, it brought back great memories of visiting my grandparents house. My grandfather was a mariner and his house was decorated the same way. Despite being very busy, I was able to score a table in the main dining area. Mariner's definitely had a bar type feel, but there were kids in there so it was family friendly. Service was friendly and the menu was larger than most bar/restaurant combos I've visited, but something caught my eye. Jim and Dave's kickin chicken was their signature item, and what my buddy recommended, so that's what I ordered. Since it was named Kickin Chicken, I expected buffalo sauce or some spicy topping. In actuality it was a chicken tender sandwich with cheddar and ranch. I was slightly underwhelmed until I took that first bite. Whatever they did, they knew what they were doing. That was one damn good sandwich. The best part was the sandwich with fries was only $9. There was also a check in offer for buy one get one free draft beer so for under $20 with tip I had a couple of Gnarley Barley drafts and the sandwich and fries. I would have gladly paid $94 for this meal, but appreciated the great value. Since I am rarely in Hammond I don't know how often I'll get to visit Mariner's, but if you find yourself in the area, I strongly recommend you pay them a visit.

I love Mariner's! It's a great place to get drinks and good food. It's fun with friends or family or both! I recommend the cheese fries and hot wings.

We had lunch , fake bacon on the salad and the potato yuck! Fried oysters were milky and had liquid green coming out of them, I don't think that's a good sign. I won't go back. Husband's steak was over cooked

We've always received great service here! This is a good place to kick back and have some drinks. The drinks can be pretty cheap and especially a good deal if you order by the pitcher. I like that there's no smoking inside since it's also a restaurant. It can be noisy if you sit in the back by the pool table depending on what kind of crowd is there (and how late it is). If you don't like it inside, there's always the covered area outside. As another reviewer mentioned, it is basically Hammond's "Port of Call" for all who have been to the one in NOLA. The burgers are decent. Make sure you specify exactly how you want it - especially if you are picky about how well (or not) you like your meat. The food can be a hit or miss depending on what you're looking to eat. Example: The gumbo is very thick and tomato based, and I was disappointed as I was expecting a roux based one. It has grown on me over time though. I have better luck (in terms of taste/flavor) when I order things that are typical bar food: burgers and appetizers/snacks. The other items I've tried (blackened tuna, grilled chicken, etc) are average. I feel that some of the higher priced items aren't worth it. I'd like to give it a 3.5, but it won't let me give a "half."

Really wanted a great poboy and was so disappointed. Service was nice but food took 45 mins to get nothing special. Bread was not fresh and burgers which they are known for was dry. This was my second time there and there will not a third.

Burgers made Mariner's famous and for obvious reason. After 20 years or more I return to former haunt to find Mariners thriving. Some things have changed--more seating after they took over an abandoned gas station next door. Some things are just the same, including the decor and signs on the wall, and a greatly expanded menu. But the burgers haven't changed a bit and thank goodness for it. Still made fresh and cooked absolutely to perfection. I had the mushroom cheddar burger because it was a fav of mine so many years ago and was delighted to find it unchanged. This "Port of Call" knock-off on the North Shore used to serve only a baked potato with their burgers, dressed up in so many ways. I noticed some folks ordering the impressive spuds with their burgers, but I decided to have the onion rings instead, simply because there was no way I could eat a huge potato and a huge burger, although it seemed not to be an obstacle decades ago. On the Sunday I visited, which was also the day after Christmas, downtown Hammond was a ghost town, but the lunch crowd at Mariner's was still impressive. I see to that they still have music regularly in the evenings, which is why I spent so much time there in my wastrel youth. I look forward to returning soon.

Has somewhat of a "dive bar" feel but it's okay to bring your kids. Burgers are best in Hammond. Seafood is on their best selections. Service can be a little slow and prices trend to up time to time.

Great food - friendly staff. Their kitchen is open late (till Midnight some nights) and they have live music some weekends. Had drinks on their outdoor patio the other night and it was a great time!

When I got to Marriners Inn I ordered a cheeseburger. I waited for about half an hour to 45 minutes (There were only one other party of people in the restaurant). Finally my cheeseburger came. It wasn't bad but it definitely was not the best I've had. Two things I noticed was that the cheese was shredded, and instead of asking what you want on it they put everything on the side. The burger was pretty good, but not worth a 45 minute wait.

Love love their soups, the chicken nachos and the shrimp poboy!! Sitting inside and outside are both great options! Great live music and bar

Good relaxed atmosphere right in downtown Hammond. Good local food and plenty of menu options. Waitresses are nice, service tends to run a little long though. Kick'n Chicken sandwich is the way to go.

Mariner's is a great place for a burger. Any time I go to hammond, I find it somewhat challenging to resist the urge to go in and order a cheeseburger. Generally, the only thing that keeps me from resisting that urge is the price. A cheeseburger from mariner's is going to run you $10-12 once you've added tax and a tip. I like to tip well here because the service is always great. The pitchers are nice as well, I recommend the lemonade stand or the long island.

We had to wait an hour for our food - way too long when you're hungry and one person in your party (of 6) is a diabetic. Once it finally arrived it was pretty good for half of us. The steak was thin and had a lot of fat on it. The roast beef poboy was cold and the meat was so tough he had to use a steak knife to cut it. Even then it was hard to chew (they took that off our bill). since there was 6 of us 18% gratuity was added - but it was added after tax, so we tipped 18% on the sales tax. Service wasn't that good and did not warrant 18% (we had to get our own menus, one beverage was not served, etc.). Also the cocktail sauce for the "meh" not so good fried shrimp was frozen solid. For real! No butter on the baked potatoes - we had to ask for it. And my "side order" of sweet potato fries was $6.00! Yikes! I've eaten here plenty of times, but after today it might be a while before I visit again.

This is Hammond's version of Port of Call. The food is decent, and you can enjoy the nice weather and eat outside. The main issue is the service... It is painfully slow!! We waited almost an hour for our lunch, which is totally unacceptable for a weekday.

MC B.
The only thing worth eating on this menu is the kickin chicken. It's a great bar though and the people are fun.

Great place to go with a group after work and get some beers and finger food. Service is hit or miss. Just don't be in a rush, its a sit back and relax place.

Mariner's Inn is basically your charming local dive. The food is good and the bar is stocked. Two pool tables and there is outdoor seating. A great place hang out and eat and/or drink.

Good Food! Drinks by the pitcher! Friday night Jazz band on the patio! Seems like a great time. Until 2 guest show up with their dogs I understand people love their animals like family but I don't want your dog sniffing my feet during my meal. I asked the waitress were animals allowed at the restaurant?? She says yes they are allowed on the patio because ppl expect animals on the patio. WHAT PEOPLE??? People expect mosquitos and flying bugs of course but dog??? Not dogs... Especially not Big Marmaduke dogs. Ive always overlooked their crappy waitresses because of all the other great benefits. Lets just say.... She didn't get a tip from me and I will tell everyone who wants to hear not to go there. Dogs at a restaurant.... THE NERVE OF THEM.

My husbands steak was good. The meat pie uhhhh tasted ok; gumbo edible; service ok; salad was iceberg lettuce; I haven't seen bacon bites or bacos since the 80s. Bread good and steak; the rest is okay; good band; my chicken was not good and baked potato had fake bacon YUCK

A good place to hang out and have a bucket of beer. You can't go wrong with the Kicken Chicken Sandwich or the Chicken Salad with ranch and wing sauce.
