Another 5 Star review, two in one day...man have gotten soft or just had a couple really good…read moreexperiences? No, just good experiences!! In town for work and found this on Yelp, love that! Took an uber here since I wanted to have a few cocktails and it was really the food that sold it for me, had a glass of wine since it became all about the food once we sat down! I will start by saying we had the best server I have had in a very long time! She was a great salesperson, knew the menu and what to recommend and the kitchen did not disappoint from what she was telling us! This was such a find. Small little family place, great food, great service and then more great food with more great service! We started with the Crawfish Boudin...delicious!! Followed those up with some grilled oysters with crab meat and cheese....I was getting full so did a 1/2 oyster po-boy which was huge, delicious and huge! some Hush-puppies thrown in, some wine...man...everything was amazing! Highly recommended and of all the places I have eaten in New Orleans this is one that I will definitely be back too! KT

I have only been here once, for a sendoff lunch for a coworker who is retiring. A coworker who has…read morelived in Harahan all her life recommended Charles for our group. Perfect! We had ten people at lunch and the whole experience was wonderful. Zero complaints.(!) They were able to seat us all together in a separate room. The service was great despite the large party. Our waitress was organized and efficient. Glasses never got empty and she kept the meal well paced and moving. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. At the close of the meal, she offered to divide the bill up into separate checks(!). I think there were about five checks total for the entire group. The food was very good. I had a daily special which was BBQ shrimp & Jambalaya Grits. If you wonder what Jambalaya Grits are, think "jambalaya with grits instead of rice". It came with a little side salad that was cold and fresh. Onion rings and firecracker shrimp appetizers were tasty and very nicely done. Anecdote: coworker says that all the locals call this place "Charlie's" even though it is actually "Charles Seafood" like it says. Whatever you want to call it, I call it great. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I had a very disappointing experience at Stingrays this weekend. Not only was the food…read moreunsatisfactory, but the customer service was even worse. I ordered two Crawfish Taylor, and when I checked my food before leaving, I noticed that both of them contained only four crawfish tails. Had I not checked before leaving, I would have been stuck with food that was clearly not worth what I paid. When I brought the issue to management's attention and requested a refund, the manager/owner was rude, racist,dismissive, and very unprofessional. I was initially told that I could only receive a refund for one crawfish, despite both orders being unsatisfactory. After standing up for myself and insisting on a full refund of the $33.95 I spent, the situation escalated unnecessarily. What was most upsetting was being threatened with having the police called on me simply because I was requesting my money back for food I was unhappy with. I left feeling disrespected and unfairly treated. Based on my experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to others. Your response is completely inaccurate. The owner is not telling the full truth about what happened. She did threaten to call the police, but she never did because she knew she was wrong in how she handled the situation. My cousin did not use any profanity until after the owner snatched the bag of boiled crawfish from us and threw it back at us. No one ever stood on a chair, and several details in your statement are simply false. The issue started because we paid for food that was not prepared as advertised and were dissatisfied with the quality. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner became rude, confrontational, and disrespectful. Customers should not be treated that way when they have a legitimate complaint. We are sharing our experience as it happened, and we stand by our account of the events.

Yes! So this place has new ownership apparently. I've never been but from the feedback I've heard…read moreit has improved since the change. New the old esplanade mall, is this restaurant ready to serve you some good seafood (they also have non seafood for ppl who don't eat it). Promptly greeted, we walked in to a nice and clean spot. Service does take a minute to come to table and bring food out but once they do, the food is really good. Nice portions for the price! I highly recommend the boudin eggrolls as well. Also the drinks, yes yes yes.

In a large shopping center. So parking is not an issue. They have plenty of parking that surrounds them. They have bunch of handicapped parking spots in the front with ramp on the right side. They do have a few steps in front for easy access. As you walk in, you are greeted by the staff. They mention that someone will be with us shortly. We went on a Sunday before it got crowded. They said we lucked out. They usually get busy when local churches get out. We quickly paid for our table and advised us we welcome to sit anywhere we like. They said they offer many discounts available. Please ask before paying. We sat at a table near the front of the restaurant and easy access to the buffet. They mainly have large tables with hard wood seats and no padding. The waitress quickly took our drink order. Started out with an Arnold Palmer. Rare that they offer that. I don't know so far that another restaurant that offers this. And an ice water. She mentioned that they offer a small selection of beer? We declined. (Drink responsibly) The first plate was sample plate to get my lay of the land. Unfortunately my first plate was full. I noticed that they offer gumbo. So I had to come back for another plate. No offense, the cup was not enough. I was surprised that they served fried swai not catfish. The cornbread was delicious! Usually they are dry at most places. Maybe they been sitting out so long they dry out. This is not the case with them. The gumbo was seasoned just right. It is only chicken and sausage gumbo. Not seafood. Usually you can tell when it is freshly made. To me, it not only look good but taste great! Unfortunately they did not have ice box cake available. Few of the reviews mentioned to definitely grab a piece. However, they did have freshly made bread pudding and chocolate delight. Both were delicious! I could go on about the food. I digress. They offer free Wi-Fi but is password protected. If you are in the area and want some good food. This place does not disappoint. In my opinion.

1/2 (3.5 stars) Mr. Ed's Oyster Bar & Fish House…read more 3117 21st St., New Orleans, LA Visited April 13, 2026 Overall, this was a decent dining experience with a few things done well and a couple misses. We ordered a dozen raw oysters ($18.95), a shrimp cocktail ($14.95), a bleu cheese wedge ($9.95), and a side of jambalaya ($6.95). The oysters were good, and the jambalaya was good as well--both definitely enjoyable. The biggest issue was the so-called "jumbo" shrimp cocktail. They were definitely shrimp, but definitely not jumbo. The flavor was nice, but it's almost a crime for a seafood restaurant to label these as jumbo. They looked more like 35/40 count at best, maybe even 55/60. That was a letdown. The bleu cheese wedge was very good, but we were a little disappointed they wouldn't chop the wedge for us. Not a huge issue, but it felt like a pretty simple request. All in all, it was a decent meal. Some good items, some disappointment, and overall a perfectly fine experience, just not one that really stood out.

So EVERY other location of Mr. Ed's I've eaten at has been really great and I've always enjoyed it…read more I avoided coming to this location for quite awhile as I had always liked Bozo's which was at this location before so it seemed too weird to visit here for a long time. So finally in 2022 I decided to make a visit here. It did take a bit of adjustment as it was so different yet still had some of the bones of Bozo's still present. I had high expectations from my prior visits to other Mr. Ed's locations but sadly they really disappointed me here. My first visit I ordered seafood gumbo, crawfish bread and trout almondine. The seafood gumbo barely had any seafood in it, the crawfish bread was VERY cheesy but barely any crawfish were to be found, the trout almondine was EXTREMELY dry and tough as leather. My next visit several months later I tried the Redfish Amanda which had a VERY cold topping of crawfish etouffee on top of it which really ruined the experience. I also found the portion sizes here to be very small for the price they charged compared to other seafood joints in the area and from my experience at other Mr. Ed's locations. The service was also sadly below mediocre and my servers seemed to really not care when I told them of my issues with my food. At his point I wasn't willing to even go for a third strike attempt as my experiences here were among the all time worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. So from my two visits I have to give this restaurant ONE star! Now some redemption has happened as the current GM of this restaurant all these years later in 2025 noticed my poor review experiences and invited me to make a return visit to try them again! So I very much value restaurants that want to make things right again and I'm also a big fan of Mr. Ed's other locations I've visited over the years and still have them on my rotation. I was really sad this Mr. Ed's really failed me after all the others had been so good. So far I haven't had time to take up the offer of a return visit but the professionalism of the GM here makes this review go up from a 1 star to a 3 star at least until I can finally sample the food here again. I have high expectations that they will at least meet or exceed my experiences at other Mr. Ed's locations.
