Definitely a Divey building and only use the bathroom if you have no other choice. But the food is freaking delicious!! The gumbo is magic and according to my daughter AND hubs, the best in New Orleans. They've been looking for a good one since Avery's shut down. We also ordered 2 chicken strip poboys. Believe me when I say they were perfect. Fully dressed with THE FRESHEST ingredients. The bread was the bomb, lettuce crispy, tomato must've been vine ripened and the pickles were to die for. Lol. The hostess/server/cook, was very sweet, quick and knows her stuff. read more

Listen... if you're looking for delicious crawfish done RIGHT, Broadview is the spot. The crawfish are always juicy, packed with flavor, & seasoned to do good that your noise will be running; a good spicy, nah. I couldn't stop eating them. The service is always welcoming. Every time I come here, the ambiance feels like visiting family. We joke, laugh, & talk like we've known each other forever, & that's something you can't fake. Broadview has been in the community so long it's honestly part of the culture. They even packed my crawfish securely in a box & brought it out to the car because a fresh batch had just finished boiling & needed to soak. That level of service says everything & of course, I grabbed a cold Big Shot Pineapple to go with it & babae, I was in heaven. read more

After almost 20 years later this place still has my heart lol, this year, I've ordered twice (it's 2/20/2026 and the crawfish are premature like a mf; but tasty. The blue crab disintegrated as soon as I opened them. The turkey neck was good...now while they have throughly yes pissed me off, I'm still willing to return because the flavor is always great read more

I will definitely say they have redeemed themselves!! Thank you Broadview Seafood!! Yalls Blue Crabs are bussin again! I appreciate yall listening to feedback! Blue crabs on point! read more

I'm giving 3 stars because I've been here before and maybe it was an off day. If today was my first time trying, this would definitely be a 2 star review. Very briefly-- Snow crabs: delicious, sweet, tender, full, and moist. No weird residue. Just clean claw meat. Potatoes: 8/10. Soft but not overly cooked. Could've used a bit more seasoning but not bland. Corn: overcooked, mushy. I'm done with their corn. This is like my third time trying their corn and they're always over cooked. Crawfish: super disappointing this time around. Very bland. Not very moist. Chicken plate: an absolute NO. Fries tasted like they've been sitting under a heating lamp for days. Chicken seemed severely over cooked, refried too long, or under a lamp too long. I'll attach a photo. Hot sausage: same as chicken. Something went wrong! Overall, I think I'll leave Broadview alone for awhile. The previous time before was just okay after raving about them awhile back on here. read more

Broadview Seafood - 10 Piece Fried Chicken Wing Plate - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was looking for a no frills place to get crawfish on a recent trip to New Orleans. I wanted to go to J+J Seafood in Gretna, but it was closed. This place looked good to me as well and I'm glad I tried it. The place is definitely as no frills as it gets, so thanks to other Yelpers who identified that beforehand. It's a dingy place that has only two tables and is set up like a local deli. I actually called beforehand and the lady told me that the crawfish was $6 / lb. Wish I came here in years past when it was only $4 / lb, but I guess that's how things are in 2022. I ended up getting 3 lbs of crawfish ($18), and one order each of corn ($1.25) and potatoes ($1.25). Also got a bottle of soda ($2). Total came out to about $24.52. I've actually never had crawfish before so I was excited to try it. I also felt stupid because it was my first time. I watched some videos on eating crawfish and asked the lady there, who gave me some basic instructions. I think I got the basic hang of it. I wasn't sure how much to order but 3 lbs ended up being a huge amount. The bag of crawfish felt like it was never ending, which was great. I really liked the seasoning on the crawfish; it was mildly spicy and pretty flavorful IMO. There is so little meat in the crawfish though, so it's a lot of work for a small piece of meat and to suck the juices out of the head. The corn and potatoes were excellent IMO. The corn was nice and soft and the potatoes were a bit watery, but also had some solid flavor to them. It felt like it took me like 2 hours to finish my meal, but I definitely enjoyed my first crawfish experience. It seems that Broadview Seafood was good value for the amount of food I got. The people running the place seemed pretty nice and accomodating. FYI, watch out what clothes you wear when you go to eat crawfish. Because all my clothes smelled like it after I was done and the smell stayed in my hands for the rest of the day, lol. I'd give this place 4 stars overall. read more

Oh my oh my these Turkey Necks are the bomb. It's one thing to say you come to New Orleans for fine cuisine but we are in a whole other ball park when you can find some good old fashion country food! The spice, the flavor the taste rolling around having a party in your mouth. We tried the fried Turkey wing just to see what that was about and it didn't disappoint. The seasoning appears to have been soaked for days! The flavor was on point. The combo bag is spicy, be warned. It doesn't ask what your spice level is so it better be ready! read more

Great food! Reasonable prices! The young man working the counter was very polite and helpful. A few tables to eat your deliciousness at, and a GREAT selection of Big Shot Soda, Red Crème is delicious, just don't look at the diabetes inducing carb count! read more

I don't know if it's the day, the season, or what, but these were the absolute best boiled crawfish I've had in the city in years. The size was incredible, the cost fair (3.99/pound) and I felt so welcomed by the owner. They offer fried seafood and even banh mi. I cannot wait to try more. read more

Best soft shell crab sandwich I've ever had. The whole order was fresh out the fryer when I got it, 12/10 would recommend

I found out about this awesome seafood shop from a few friends! They usually rave about the Hot Sausage or Fried Shrimp Po Boys, so I just had to check them out. It's a small corner store on S Broad and you will have to find street parking around the area, but it is definitely worth it! When you walk in, there are two tables on the left side, a register in the middle, and a line of glass door fridges with beverages on the right. When it came to order, the lady was really friendly and treated everyone with utmost respect! I really feel like it's hard to mess up a Hot Sausage Po Boy, so I opted for their Fried Shrimp Po Boy for my first visit. I wanted to see how they made their Po Boys and what made them so special. When the food was ready, the order was announced through an overhead speaker and you can pick up through a window right out the kitchen. The food came out fast and hot! I unwrapped my Fried Shrimp Po Boy and instantly took a bite, something I never do because I always feel the need to take pictures of my food. I got excited because I saw that they used Hi Do French bread, my favorite French bread for Po Boys! The shrimps were average sized, not too small or too big. They were lightly battered, so I could taste the shrimp. There was the perfect amount of lettuce and mayo, so everything really went well with each other. I enjoyed every single bite I took out of the Po Boy and I understood why my friends were raving about it! I came here a second time to try out their boiled food items and wanted to show a friend the amazing Po Boy I had last time. The lady helped me out again for this visit and was nice as ever! I ordered a pound of boiled crawfish and their combo bag, which included two cut potatoes, a spicy sausage link, a boiled corn, a pig's foot, and long turkey neck. It was a really good deal for around 6-7 dollars! The boiled crawfish was delicious and had a good spicy kick to it. The potatoes and corn were the usual that you usually get at other places, but the corn wasn't boiled with the crawfish pot. I loved their pig feet, it was cooked perfected and had great flavor! The turkey neck was huge and I had to get a to go box to take home to eat later! Overall, this place is awesome and I definitely recommend everybody to make their way here to eat some good crawfish and Po Boys! The service is always friendly and prices are very affordable! read more

This place is a bit divey, but it's definitely a hidden gem. The crawfish boil and potatoes were seasoned to perfection. The fish poboy was very crispy and not to oily. A side of the garlic butter sauce is a must. Very fair prices too. read more

The crawfish is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. My husband does not like spicy food so we asked for a customized mild basket. Very accommodating to his disability and inability to eat anything remotely spicy. Did you know they make wings? Can we say "World's Famous?!?" read more

I have wanted to try authentic gumbo for years. This is the real deal. Spicy and flavorful. I'm pretty sure I saw a chicken gizzard somewhere in there. Also, I think/hope it cured my hangover. read more

Had crawfish from there today. Overall size was good and taste too. Fast service as well.

I can only review the crawfish boil we picked up prior to Jazzfest. We wanted to bring something to our friend's house for the pre-party so we asked the taxi driver to make a quick pitstop so we can pick up a few pounds. It's $2.69/lb for really yummy crawfish. We were so fortunate that a fresh batch just came out so it was pipin' hot. The crawfish were juicy & the boil was very flavorful. It's a separate charge if you want the potatoes & corn on the cob. We were only interested in the crawfish. We wanted to dine here after the festival one evening, but they were already closed. If they had longer hours, I'd give it 5 stars, but it doesn't & we only got to take advantage of this place for lunch. If you're in the area, definitely pick up a batch! read more

Broadview Seafood - mmm...freshly boiled crawfish! - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I don't really understand the great reviews for this place. I ordered from here because of all of the great reviews and I was extremely disappointed. The shrimp is not cleaned, it's mushy, and it's flavorless. The same goes for the potatoes and the corn. The only saving grace was the sausage which had a lot of flavor but looked 3 days old. Never again. If you're looking for AMAZING seafood do yourself a favor and go to Cajun Seafood. If you're looking for flavorless mush then Broadview is your place. I even added some seasonings I got here at home and even that couldn't save it. Gross. Update: it is now the next day and my boyfriend and I are having serious stomach pains. Wtf? Update#2: I hate to say it and I know it might be graphic but this place gave me diarrhea. I'm still shitting water. Don't eat this shit if you don't want the runs. read more

The craw fish was seasoned well however the price was not visible and too high at $4.99 per lb at this time of the year. And I think I got less than the 3lbs I ordered. I learned after researching, Winn Dixie's crawfish is $1.79 per lb and Rouses $1.99 per lb. read more

Seafood smorgasbord! I don't know what they put in their marinade, but it is legit. It's on everything from the crawfish to the crab legs to the corn on the cob and packs quite a punch. Delicious! Don't forget to try the ooey gooey cake and brownies for dessert. This is a local joint. You won't find many tourists here, which is fine by me! It makes it all the more authentic. read more

Boiled crawfish! $3.99 per pound (market price and they aren't in season in August) and spicy spicy. The place has steady traffic--mostly with people grabbing food to go--but there are 2 tables where you can stay and eat. It's a no frills, rough around the edges place. Just piles of crawfish to eat on trays, with the shells going into plastic bags. There's also other food here, but seems like most people come for the crawfish. The staff is not overly friendly, but they are actually really nice and came by and talked to us about crawfish while we were eating. I don't know much about crawfish, but we had a pretty good time. Would definitely come back when the crawfish are in season. read more

Broadview Seafood - Crawfish, Pig Feet, Turkey Neck... - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Tl;dr: Decent portions and a good price but the crawfish was under seasoned and the corn was over cooked SAFETY: I know that some reviews mentioned that this place is sketchier or in the ghetto -- and in out of town so it very well may be -- but it feels very safe to be there. Just a mom and pop shop that's selling food for you to take back home. CRAWFISH: We learned that crawfish were apparently very expensive whenever we dropped by; we paid $6.49/lb -- but I expected it to be cheaper. In their defense, I think crawfish was selling around $5/lb. Although the broth seemed good, the tails of the crawfish themselves were more bland than I would have preferred. POTATOES: Good and spicy, perhaps they absorbed all the flavor meant for the crawfish? They give good portions here so this fills you up if you didn't buy enough crawfish. CORN: Sadly over-cooked. My kernels were mushy and difficult to pick off one by one, which is the weird way I eat corn. read more

This is my second or third go to spot, if K-Jean's is closed. The crawfish are small to average in size, with a moderate price tag. But no different then what other seafood spots charge. You can count on extra spicy if that is what your palate craves and can withstand. read more

Would not recommend, we ordered through door dash for a work lunch. Once we receive the for it was HORRIBLE, seafood platter, shrimp and fish plate and shrimp platters was ordered. The batter on the fish was extremely hard as if it had been sitting under a light, the fries were hard and the egg and shrimp in the rice was extremely rubber as if it had been sitting. Not sure who wrote the other reviews BUT they lied it's not worth all those stars!WILL NOT ORDER FROM HER AGAIN read more

Another wonderful place in New Orleans to get tasty Crawfish but be advised if your taste buds are conditioned for spicy food then this item, boiled crawfish, may not be for you. However, there are other items you may consider for a taste of "Nawlin, Darlin." The staff / owner was nice and personable. Furthermore, they do have inside seatings but not much of it. Please, give them a chance to make an impression for your trip or even your having a craving for a taste of New Orleans. read more

Went today to get that seafood fix. Naturally they only had frozen LA crawfish as the season is over. Ended up getting a couple of pounds of shrimp that were a bit forgetful. I think I'll stick to getting their crawfish when the season is in, as that is definitely where Broadview shines. read more
