Been a regular here for over 5 years. Moved to another state and still come back for their crawfish! So good!

These crawfish are SO GOOD am writing the review while still at the restaurant. Crawfish are perfect boil and season! The hush puppies are excellent fluffy balls of goodness No matter what beer you picked it will be cold AF and you get a chill mug to pour it into. Love everything about this place read more

I'm so excited they are open again. It is my absolute favorite place for crawfish and the royal reds (in just butter, salt and pepper) are to die for! I also had the king crab and holly Molly was it delicious! The place is small, but familiar and nice. The owners are always there ready to say hello and the staff is nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place... I go every week read more

Bon Temps Boulet's Seafood - Just Crawfish and a cold beer! - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

If you're looking for legit Louisiana seafood, Bon Temps Boulet's in Metairie is the real deal. Parking can be a little tight, but both times I visited I was able to grab a spot without too much trouble. Once you get your food, you'll quickly forget about the parking anyway. I ordered the special that came with 3 pounds of crawfish along with sausage, corn, and new potatoes, plus their house dipping sauce. First thing I noticed was the quality of the crawfish--they were excellent. Good size, fresh, and very well cooked. As for the flavor, it was fantastic. The seasoning wasn't overly spicy, but it had a really nice balance with a slight citrus note that made the whole boil incredibly addictive. In short, it was to die for. Service was also very good--friendly and efficient, even while things were busy. If you're in the Metairie area and craving crawfish, this place is absolutely worth the stop. read more

Bon Temps Boulet's Seafood - Three pounds of crawfish, andouille sausage, corn, and new potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This evening, in New Orleans, we decided to try Bon Temps for some crawfish that wasn't just a seafood boil in a bag. Upon entering, you get the feeling of a classic Deep South crawfish mom and pop feel. Simple tables and a bunch of food bar seating. The menu is pretty straight forward. We got the last batch of crawfish for the night and they still had a few hours to go. So get here early. They also were out of the pork side. We settled on the eloti corn and stuffed artichoke to compliment our 5pbs of crawfish. The crawfish broke apart effortlessly and were not over cooked. Had a great seasoning. We thought the side sauce was good but completely overpowered the crawfish so we didn't use it. The corn and artichoke were really good!!! Only negatives: 1. Ran out of crawfish early 2. How do they only serve 1 piece of 1in slice of sausage for 5lbs of crawfish?! Little skimpy... Overall, Bon Tenps is absolutely checking out. Delicious! read more

Stopped by this weekend, and it was very easy to place a to-go order in person. A small gem with a seating area inside and outside. I ordered one of the special crawfish deals for $32, which included 3 lbs and fixings. It was very flavorful, and I will be returning again. read more

We came here for dinner after having Clesi's. We got the sweet potato tots, boudin balls, and a lb of crawfish. The boudin balls weren't good. At first, it had a strange taste to them. The sweet potato tots were soggy but they're good. I wish they didn't put honey on it or whatever it was. The crawfish was cooked well but weren't as seasoned as Clesi's. All in all, I wouldn't come back here. read more

1st time visit & just had a late lunch... should have come sooner!!! Royal Reds, dungeness crab, fried shrimp & oysters, and pork belly. All were delicious and I highly recommend a visit to Bon Temps. If we lived closer I would be there all the time! read more

Just ate here for the first time. Wow! Crawfish were amazing! Royal Reds were just as good! Also had Cowboy Crack which continued the trend of amazing! Steve met us and introduced himself as soon as we walked in. We told him it was our first time trying his place. First thing he does is offer a sample of his crawfish. Bugs were a nice spice, not too overpowering and a great size. Royal Reds were the best we've had. He does them better than we've had in Alabama. Cowboy Crack is great pork belly bites and the sauce definitely compliments them. The service is great and very attentive. So much more to try on their menu! We will definitely be back! I can't say enough about this place. read more

I am hoping NO ONE finds this place, although I've been telling everyone about it! Early into crawfish season 2025 - craving for Saturday lunch. Looked up on Yelp and decided to go. Small trailer-like location with off-street limited parking. We drove by the blue building before finding it. Hardly anyone eating in; lots of to go business. Order at counter, sit & food is brought to you. Went all in - 4# crawfish ($7/lb) and an order of hush puppies (5-6 for $4) for me, a pound of Royal Red Shrimp ($17/lb) and an order of potatoes (about 6 for $3.50) for him. Sodas are bottled, not fountain @ $2.50 ea. It took me a minute to get back in the "swing of the peel," but I did, and after 4#, I was full. Plenty of meat on them and were perfectly seasoned. No burning lips. Hush puppies were very tasty & cooked through. Potatoes were nicely seasoned. I don't care for shrimp, but a small bite of husband's Royal Reds told me I might have found a shrimp I could eat. Was definitely not "shrimpy." 1# was plenty and he had a couple left over. Returned the next Saturday for the same thing (minus hush puppies, to save room for my crawfish) and still yummy. Hoping they still have the shrimp and crawfish in late May so I can take my New York cousin to experience it. Service is friendly and since you pay when you order, checkout's a breeze. read more

My husband and I found this seasonal GEM, and we have been obsessed for the past 4 years. The crawfish are chef's kiss , and DO NOT sleep on the Brisket sandwich. Pay attention to the special's of the day, too. We have never been disappointed. The Boulet's rock! Oh yeah, there is always something good in the daiquiri machine. Ask for a sample. Guarantee you will order one. read more

Order was ready for pickup, very nice and helpful attitude. Food was exemplary, crawfish good size and perfectly seasoned. Place highly recommended read more

This is the most welcoming spot! Sissy gave us samples and deftly walked us through the menu! With this kind of personalized service, you want to order one of everything!! Sissy's recommendations were excellent- the crawfish was the best I've ever eaten, they tasted as though they had been cooked in butter! We had stone crab and the red shrimp (which we'd never tasted before). Just sublime! Oh, strawberry daiquiris were the best!! The entire meal was an outstanding experience in every way! To top it off you can wash up with a brown sugar scrub. They have thought of everything! read more

Royal reds!!! It's been challenging to find these succulent morsels of the Alabama Gulf coast in New Orleans. This restaurant actually features these very special lobster adjacent shrimp. We enjoyed the happy find very much! Service is warm, friendly and accommodating. The place is charmingly rustic. Definitely worth a trek to Airline and Clearview. read more

Best boiled crawfish in NOLA. Always seasoned perfectly and consistent. The owners, Chelsea and Steven are always there. Call ahead for take out crawfish. They are about 15% higher that the cheap crawfish places, but their crawfish are amazing. read more

Crawfish were out of this world good! I'd go as far to say it was the best crawfish I've ever had. Owners took a generous amount of time answering all of our questions. They will ship their crawfish. Jackpot read more

The boiled crawfish were clean, consistent, and well-seasoned without being too salty or hot. I've revisited 6 times or so to try something different, but my mouth keeps saying, "I'll have the 3 # crawfish special with a frozen Abita on draft". We drive 25 miles past several seafood restaurants to get here. read more

I ate here a few months back. I ordered my food to go. The girl behind the counter was nice and greeted me. I was curious if I should order the crawfish or not and the girl offered to give me a couple of crawfish to taste it before I buy it which I thought was pretty awesome of her. I ended up ordering crawfish, cowboy crack, shrimp Diablo poboy, and cochon de lait poboy. The crawfish had some good flavor not too spicy. But not the best crawfish I ever had. The cowboy vrack was just not good. The shrimp poboy had some unique flavors going on and the cochon de last poboy was really good. I loved the extensive menu and the location. The pictures and art on the wall made for a fun vibe. There was a few seating options inside but overall this is more of a grab and go type place. read more

Got to enjoy some crawfish from these guys out at a pop up at Zony Mash and they didn't disappoint. We got 10lbs for $80 and that came with some corn, potatoes, and sauce. Crawfish were some of the biggest we've had this season. They were great--cooked really nicely, good amount of spice, and buttery. read more

I am very snobby about crawfish. I'm from Lafayette and was pretty convinced there was no good boiled crawfish around New Orleans. However, this place is solid. The crawfish are clean clean. The flavor and spice is right. The staff is great. The decor is cute. I docked them one star because crawfish should come out steaming hot and these were just warm. I am guessing that happens because they boil ahead of time instead of boil-to-order. If they'd been hot, this would have been a 5 star. Best I've had around NOLA. read more

These people practice wage theft. They set a tip jar out for the customers to be able to tip the waitstaff, but it goes into the pockets of the very pretentious business owners. They present to be sweet, humble business owners m, but this guy is Jeff Beezos sans the cash. Crawfish is mid, the atmosphere is terrible and the owners really are trash people.

Tried the Cajun Street Corn, which was very salty but also very good. Despite the salt, I couldn't stop eating it. The boudin eggrolls were decent. I understand they use Bourgeois boudin which I find a bit liver-forward. Would have been nice if they added other fillings to complement the boudin. I couldn't quite tell if there was cheese in there or not. Otherwise, it was fried crispy and the sauce was a nice complement. Finally, I was super excited about trying the seafood stuffed bell peppers, which the menu states the #1 ingredient is crab. I ordered these to go. Was very disappointed to find that the peppers are purchased and then reheated to serve, rather than made in house. Yes, they are made by a local company, but I can purchase these in the grocery store rather than a restaurant. Because I asked for it to go, I was given the option to take it cold to reheat at home. This is the only reason I knew it was a packaged food. Otherwise, it would have been serve reheated as a regular menu item. And the #1 ingredient is breadcrumbs, not crab. It's fine if they choose to serve a packaged item, but I think it should be identified as such on the menu. Previously this venue offered an expanded food menu and some of the former menu items looked very good and I wish they still offered. The boiled crawfish is also highly rated, so I'll likely return again to sample their boiled selections. read more

Let me start by saying that these people are PASSIONATE about what they do and IT SHOWS!! I've been in this place four times and every single time is perfect. We've tried several appetizers, all delicious but the boudin egg rolls are out of this world. The shrimp diablo is great! Don't be fooled by the name... I personally don't like too spicy and this poboy has the perfect subtle kick. All poboys we've tried are really delicious and it's not only because of the perfect bread but also because the chef loves his menu items... he knows what he is doing. Another MUST-TRY is the bread pudding, if I could've lick that plate hahaha I would've because that sauce was exquisite ! Their daiquiris are also great, they change the flavors periodically but whatever flavor they make, I can assure you that you will love it. The environment is also lovely, the people working there are super nice, it almost feels like home. It will sound weird but honestly, every time we leave with a big smile and feeling like we just left our family's home. We are so grateful for having Bon Temps Boule in our neighborhood. read more

Great low key spot for crawfish, my family really enjoyed the feast! Will definitely come back if we're ever in the area again.

I tried this for the first time a few months ago and I've been back probably four times. Each mill has just been great, of course there's a few things that could be tweaked but overall those are the best crawfish I've eaten in this area. So clean! Also, I don't know what that sauce is that comes with the Boudin eggrolls, but it's the best thing I've ever tasted! Always friendly although there is a young man that works there that really needs to watch some of the things he discusses at the front. I'll just leave that there. read more

I'm so glad they're open again. We went today for lunch and it was delicious as always! read more
