The restaurant's humble beginnings started in the Tuscaloosa Bama Bowl Shopping Center where Maharaja of India is now located and has crescendoed to its newest creation on the banks of the Black Warrior River in Northport. Steamers Restaurant had its inception in July 1996 when it was located in the Bama Bowl Shopping Center near the campus of the University of Alabama. The Wyatt family kept the it there until the summer of 2001 when they moved operations to the next location next to Snow Hinton Park on Hargrove Road. Steamers mad that its home for the next 5 or so years when the Wyatt family moved the restaurant to #1 Bridge Avenue in Northport which is on the banks of the Black Warrior River in Northport, Al. next to where the old cotton gin was. Below are some pictures depicting the transition that the restaurant has undergone.
