I've been a long time customer of Big EZ when they only had the Gretna location. Their Viet Cajun seafood blends have really been a game changer - very unique and super tasty. There are several big screen tvs around the restaurant, giving sports bar vibes. We ordered the EZ Blend crawfish, crab legs, potatoes, corn, eggs, and charbroiled Dungeness crabs (not pictured). The waitress accidentally ordered the charbroiled blue crabs. Everything was a 10/10 except the eggs - they had a weird texture, seemed fake or simply overly boiled. The star of the show, though, were the blue crabs. They were perfectly grilled, well seasoned, and meaty. This will easily become your go to seafood spot. read more

Food was truly outstanding. The flavors in all we ordered woke up the senses. We couldn't get enough of the charbroiled oysters and étouffe. The étouffe is compatible to the ones I tasted in France. This is a must order. The seafood platter tasted fresh. Loved the ambiance. The service was fantastic! read more

Food good. Julienn is the greatest. He really was connected and caring. We appreciate you. I also have to give a shout-out to Chef. Thank you for always operating in excellence. O would visit again. Wait times for food, excellent. read more

Worst customer service ever. Came for my birthday towards the end of May. Used to go all the time. Food was good Everytime we went. This time Julien, the host dismissed me and my party and said they were out of all foods. Why on earth would y'all still be open at this point? Mind you he took somebody in right before us. Sad to say they lost regulars. read more

The wall murals were beautiful, vibrant and fun. I went between the typical lunch and dinner times, so much of the staff was trying to grab a quick bite to eat, but the service was still quite good. I tried several different small items and they were all very good. I especially enjoyed the étouffée. read more

I just love real cajun boiled seafood and yes it's crawfish season. I scarfed broiled oysters to die for, boiled shrimp and the main course, boiled crawfish. Ms. Ana was amazing and helpful... thank you Ana... never stop smiling.... Remember to support your local eateries so we both don't starve... read more

I usually like to support locally owned businesses but I also like to spread the word for my fellow foodies... My husband and I ordered the catfish.. I got catfish on bun and he got catfish poboy. I asked for the special sauce on the side and the server said they charge extra for the sauce on the side. I asked "doesn't it come on it anyways?" and she said yes. I should've known then that something was up. She ended up giving us the side of sauce for free and said she understood the reasoning. She explained to us that if you order gumbo and ask for the rice on the side it's an upcharge for the rice as well. Ooook. Now for the sandwich.... I've got to say it was theee worst catfish on bun I've ever had. The catfish was thin (and they put TWO fillets on the sandwich believe it or not) and mushy... it had the consistency of eggs. And honestly I thought I was eating an egg sandwich because the catfish had zero flavor. We spoke to the server and another worker about it and they explained it was a new local distributor but they couldn't confirm what type of fish it actually was. I don't know if the fish was that swai stuff or tilapia or what it was it's still a mystery, but it definitely wasn't catfish... for all my Nola folks we know what actual catfish tastes like. Needless to say we won't ever be back. Oh p.s. they charge extra for fries so the total order with 2 sandwiches, waters, and one order of fries was over $20. I could get that same order with fries included for half that price at my regular spot. I gave it a star because the server was really nice and another star because I loved the colorful walls and ambiance. The fish gets a zero. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was good, the drinks were delicious, and the waitstaff, especially Julienn, were informative, helpful, and friendly. Julienn was an absolute delight. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend. read more

Last stop before we head in for the airport. We timed it for their Happy Hour but end up getting something not from their Happy Hour menu with no regrets. We had their Chargrilled Lobsters which came with garlic noodles. We were told that it'll be 20 minute cook time and that is fine with us. We had plenty of time to kill before hopping on Lyft to the airport. The lobster was sweet, garlicky and just the right it texture. It was caught fresh from their aquarium full of lobsters. We found out too that this place have a Texas location so that's really a plus when cravings kick in. All in all everything was great. The place is spacious and the service was really friendly. We can't wait to try their Arlington, TX location. read more

We got in to town and decided we needed a drink and a few appetizers. They have specials from2:30-5:00 so we hung out for a few minutes and ordered. The inside is so colorful and fun! Quintessential NOLA! Each room has a different theme. LSU, Crawfish, Saints, Crab room! So fun! We had Fireball shrimp, boudin balls and charbroiled oysters! All were exceptional! Our bartender, Joe, was amazing! So helpful and friendly! The food amazing! A great place to hangout with family and friends. We will be back for sure! There is a nice size parking lot available too! Y'all come visit and stay to eat and drink!! Cheers read more

We're trying to squeeze in some more happy hour deals on our way to the airport. We somehow ended up getting a different meal from the menu. Started off with Crawfish Etouffe and calamari. Calamari were just ok but the Etouffe is pretty good and flavorful. For our main, we shared a Charbroiled Lobster served with garlic noodles, French bread and dipping butter. This plate was the main show, the lobster meat were sweet and tender. It was cooked perfectly topped with a garlicky sauce. Service was friendly and the place was bright and very welcoming. Definitely worth coming back to when back to Louisiana. read more

Food was awesome! I ordered 2lb of crawfish with corn, the celery comes in it and is perfect for change in texture and flavor. Spiciness hot was perfect. The waiter was super polite and well mannered, he kept saying yes ma'am with his Cajun accent. Vibe inside was perfect enough flavor to make it feel authentic and enough decor to feel local and clean. read more

Big EZ Seafood & Oyster - 2lb crawfish with corn. Spicy level: hot - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

All of the food tasted delicious! Our server Erin was really nice and informative about our order. Not to mention, the decorum looked beautiful with wall paintings of everything that represents Louisiana (seafood, LSU & Saints football, & homages to Vietnamese fishermen who work on boats at Empire). We ordered their "Pick 3" Boiled Seafood Basket option with Crawfish, Snow Crabs, Mussels, Boiled Eggs, Sausage, & Potatoes. The "Pick 3" option gave us an extra 1 lbs of crawfish. For the basket, we went with the Cajun Citrus option, which added a nice tangy taste to the basket! The only issue I really had was that they didn't put the price on the menu beforehand, so I was a bit shocked to find out that the entire basket costed $84.00. I didn't mind paying for it, but I wished they would've let us know how much it costed before we ordered it. Although it tasted really good, I also feel like they should've added a bit more seafood in the basket since it was $84.00, but that's just me personally. We also got additional side plates, such as their famous Garlic Noodles ($5.99), Garlic Fries ($4.99), & Bread Pudding for dessert ($8.50). In contrast to the seafood basket, these plates had the price on the menu beforehand and were definitely worth the price in my opinion. The garlic noodles weren't too salty and had the right amount of flavor to it! So did the garlic fries. The bread pudding was fried to perfection and was perfectly topped off with vanilla ice cream at the top. If it wasn't for the overpriced seafood basket, I would've given this review 5 stars. Aside from that, I'd recommend this place if you're a seafood lover and love a Cajun twist to the mix! read more

The drinks were delicious, the food was great, and our waiter Julienn was even better. Definitely a great place to check out!

We have a winner. I showed up to just have a happy hour drink and ended up ordering 2 pounds of crawfish and a pound of shrimp boiled in Saigon's Vietnamese broth with garlic noodles on the side. Very helpful server guided me to the best fresh seafood possible, and then smiled and offered me gloves. The gloves were needed. This particular combination ended up being the best seafood boil I have ever had. Also, bonus points for being clean and nice and a great ambience. Which was helped somewhat by laughter coming from the kitchen. Happy cooks do better work. read more

i got food poisoning from the oysters so eat here at your own risk, our server was sweet but the manager was not. crawfish was good so yay!

From the minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile and how can we help you. The service is great. The food is excellent. I have had the seafood gumbo and it's very delicious. It's not overly spicy and it has a lot of shrimp in it. I have also had the chicken and sausage gumbo also but I rather the seafood. I had the crawfish etouffee and it was a little spicy but good and the fried catfish and shrimp are delicious and the French fries are good as well. Chair broiled oysters are good too read more

MY GOD! This place is DELICIOUS. I can't believe I've never been here before. I'm from California and my husband is from louisiana and we are huge foodies - this place blew every sea food place I've tried out of the water. The flavor packed into every bite was insane. Boiled to perfectionnnnn. And the sauces. The garlic butter sauce was so amazing and the cajun mayo sauce was also delicious. We also got the charbroiled oysters which were sooo amazing. I can't wait to go back again and again. And the service! Amazing. Our waiter I forgot his name but he's from Boston, he was so great. We also met another man who worked there, also don't know his name but his parents just got back from France, he was so kind and funny. Truly such an enjoyable experience. Also the ART! The decor is so gorgeous and one of a kind. The music is great too. Such a vibe. This place is a MUST GO. Oh also got some simple garlic noodles for our kids and they were delicioussss. read more

What a GREAT find so close to the airport! Super clean and friendly staff inside that everything let's you know you're in cajun country. The service is great as everyone there seems to make sure you are well taken care of. The place is big and plenty of room to spread out and eat. There are tons of TVs to watch your favorite sporting events. Lastly, the food there is fantastic! They serve grilled cheese with their gumbo or crawfish étouffée and that was my favorite part of the meal. Plus, they make good grilled oysters and their seafood boils were the showstoppers. Several kinds and different heat levels and sides to through in there. Gotta go in and try for yourself!! read more

our waitress was wonderful! the chargrilled oysters were SO good. the restaurant was cute! i love that it wasn't freezing in there LOL. i got the catfish basket.. eh. the fish didn't have hardly any flavor but the texture was wonderful though. it was nice and flaky, not super coated in breading. that part was perfect. the hush puppies were alright, and the fries were good. the fried shrimp was a lil too fishy for me and i love all seafood taste. the batter on everything needs more seasoning!! (owner pls believe me). i got the mango cocktail and it was SO good, my friend got the mango beer and it was good too! overall, not very satisfied. i wish i would've just gotten the oysters and drinks lol read more

I was in town for a work trip so I decided to try out some of the local fare. Shrimp Po'Boys are one of my fave NOLA treats so I when I searched Yelp, Big EZ Seafood popped up. They have Happy Hour Specials in the afternoons from 2:30P-5:00PM. My Shrimp Po'Boy lunch special (6 in Po'Boy plus small traditional gumbo) was $13.65 I think. read more

I'd like to start off by saying as my first experience this will forever will a nasty tasty in my mouth. mentally and physically. on 06/11/26 I went here and my food came out last at my table which then I knew something was wrong. food was cold on top of the potatoes , crawfish , and shrimp taste like dirt. One of the managers stuck their hand in my food ,they didn't try to offer me a refund instead told me I'd have to pay. I ordered other things pior to get the boi. they need to get someone who knows about the menu taking order. shes either slow like the management or new. regardless i will never go back half of the staff needs to be replaced. unproductive management and unprofessional -10/10 read more

Such a cute little restaurant with beautiful murals on the wall! We stopped in for a quick bite after leaving the rental car facility and it was almost empty inside. Our server was really kind. It was disappointing that they did not have any oysters which is one of the few items on their happy hour menu. Our meal selections had a lot of meat in it and was full of flavor so that was nice. I would definitely come back for the gumbo. read more

I landed in New Orleans and my first order of business was to have dinner. Thanks to Yelp I picked this restaurant before I left New York. Well this is really more of a Seafood Boil restaurant. I was hoping for something different but since I'm here I might as well go for it. In this case my waitress was extremely nice and helpful. Whatever you order you get garlic noodles or garlic French fries. I chose the noodles which were way more than I expected. U never had these and they were kind of like linguine with garlic and oil. Since I'm an Italian boy I definitely liked these. Next my meal or " Seafood Boil restaurant". I chose shrimp, of course, and king crab legs. Food was good, the recommended spice/ heat level was on point. The price, kind of made me choke but it's a business expense so it was on Uncle Sam, well 40% anyway. No real complaints but next time I'm in New Orleans I would like to try a straight forward Seafood Restaurant with more of a variety. read more

We ordered viet Cajun crawfish and saigonese crawfish. Last night we went to seafood boil place in downtown New Orleans and had frozen crawfish for double price and nasty sauce.

Anna was our waitress and she was very nice and provided the best service for us. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants bomb live crawfish lobster seafood with the best sauce ever read more

Came here with a couple of friends on Sunday for lunch. (They have a happy hour special on the weekdays) It was not busy at 11:30am but it got busier later after 12:30pm. The staff was nice but they could be more efficient on how they take our orders and they missed one of our orders and nearly messed up the orders at the start as well. In terms of the food, the seafood were really fresh and I enjoyed how big the shrimps were. Also the flavors were really good. I recommend getting the garlic fries too, they are so delicious and complements the seafood! Overall, a great experience and recommend to both locals and visitors!!! read more

Big EZ Seafood & Oyster - Garlic fries, garlic Noodles, crawfish, shrimp and sausage - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I saw this one posted a few times and finally trying it. Seafood was fresh and they don't play around when they say spicy. It's a little pricey but it's worth it, especially from what I had today. They don't offer specials as good as other similar concepts when it comes to combining seafood but not too much of a deal breaker. Hubs said the oysters were absolutely delicious without the need for all the fancy stuff on it. Check their Facebook for specials (today oysters were half off!) They ask that you make a social media post on fb to receive whatever offer they have going. read more

What a pleasant difference... I decided to return to "this building", bc it's been a few things in my day, and it was a pleasant surprise of a "new favor" of seafood.

I'm from Southern California, where we have Viet Cajun seafood boil. I'm so happy that my bf and I visited New Orleans during crawfish season. For $7.50/lb for live crawfish, you can't beat that price. Especially when some crawfish were x3 bigger than what we get in California. Big EZ knows how to cook them too-- super juicy and tender. The sauce flavors were fantastic. Actually my favorite crawfish, etouffee, and grilled oysters in New Orleans. I honestly can't eat crawfish in California anymore lol. Big EZ is just that superior in flavor, quality, and price. Mike and Evelyn were so kind, helpful, and patient. My favorite restaurant in New Orleans! And yes, we went to Brennan's, ACME, and Deannie's lol read more
