    Honestly, I think they've improved. Crawfish were on the smaller side but the seafood was seasoned SO well! Even the potatoes taste a little better!

    Vegetable fried rice /extra broccoli
    DD D.

    The portion size was huge. The vegetable fried rice was pretty flavorful. The egg roll was meaty and filling. Customer service was non-existent. They stocked my bag with soy sauce and duck sauce. However, I wanted sweet and sour sauce on the side. The lady charged me a dollar extra after I paid. She didn't even ring it up, she just took the dollar and gave me the sauce. Not a super big deal, but noticeable. All in all, I enjoyed my food.

    Egg roll
    Courtney H.

    Everything was disgusting. I've been here once before and everything wasn't so bad but this time around it was all disgusting . The food tasted like it was freezer burned and really old. The eggs rolls were fried so much they were burned but was soggy. :|

    We knew that it's the end of crawfish season. Our guests wanted to try crawfish for the first time. I've served boiled crawfish for 9 years so I know some things! Visitors be aware the pans that they serve togo crawfish only holds 3 lbs. We ordered 5 lbs. I should of thought twice when she said that the crawfish was cold so she is going to pour juice in container ( it was 3/4 full of juice) The double aluminum serving pan and juice makes weight. I didn't get what I paid for. They also forgot my sausage that I paid extra for. The customer service was alright. Totally dissatisfied. I will not come back This would a great place to eat at if they make some serious changes.

    NOT EXACTLY STUFFED: the shrimp po boy isn't bad it's just not memorable- small shrimp, sparse pickle slices, no real flavor; $9.
    Charles H.

    A SUB IN THE HUB A pithy yankee description of a po'boy on this odd convergence of three major thoroughfares. Unfortunately the shrimp version at C&A is just as bland. SKIMPY GEOMETRY Okay, since the area of a foot long poboy is approximately 48", and the average diameter of a dill slice is 1.25", then it follows that coverage by the stingy 6 pickles at C&A is grossly inadequate at just 15.6% of the total surface. This is particularly annoying because the shrimp are also small and sparsely distributed (see my pic).

    Just had my first crawfish of the season here and it was definitely different but amazing.A young lady named Shona gave us the best old school New Orleans service I have had since I moved home (I want to meet her parents and say thank you good) .The crawfish we're just spicy enough and had all kind of different melted butters, styles and add ons my girl had been her before and knew what to do , it was a bit pricey but it is the beginning of the season ..... totally recommend

Muffulettu (8.5/10): my first time having this kind of sandwich. Dang, it is so good. Loved the sesame bread. Tuna was amazing. All the sauces came together so well. Felt pretty light, too! Definitely great to pair with the po'boy Sicilian Sashimi (9/10): I've never had sashimi like this, but I was all for it. Fish was fresh and tender. The capers and olive oil really paired well with it. We met one of the chef-owners and she was very helpful and kind! Really sad that they were out of a lot of things like the daiquiris, crudo, ceviche, tostadas, oysters, etc. due to it being right after Labor Day.

    The Good: The Staff was lovely and the Tostada was AMAZING!…read more The Bad: Everything else... Outside of the Tostadas, the food we had was shockingly bad. The fried "Captain's Platter" is $35, it's worth maybe $12. It was 4 shrimp, 4 oysters, and a decent sized piece of fish, all considerably over-fried, with fairly plain coleslaw and hushpuppies that looked like they had been cooking since the shift the day before. --- I honestly couldn't believe this was brought to the table, but it seemed normal so apparently that is how it is served there. It was VERY small and fairly overcooked. The boiled crabs were mush. Decent flavor, not great. Would not recommend. The charbroiled oysters again seemed to have been cooking for 3-4 times longer than they should have. They were rubber, flavorless and unappetizing to look at. They were pretty bad. - At least they were clean. I didn't get any shell. But I also didn't get any oyster in 1 of the 6 oysters served at $18. Then we got a Sausage Poboy. The sausage was decent, but the sandwich wasn't good. WHY WOULD YOU TOAST THE BREAD? NO ONE WANTS SAUSAGE BETWEEN TWO CROUTONS. Just kind of a weird mistake that makes you wonder if anyone there has tried to eat any of their own food. Because it's not easy... Honestly 90% of the food we got there was pretty bad. But we will be back for Tostada alone. That was phenomenal. 10/10 Delicious.

It was super close to where we were staying, and since I didn't catch a seafood boil in the Quarter or anywhere else in town, I had to try this spot. My friend and I had our eyes on it, but once our Uber driver confirmed it was a bomb spot, we were all in and it did not disappoint. I even met a lady who drives 45 minutes just to get here, so if she makes that trek, you know this is the spot. I will be dreaming of this place! Being takeout-only gave it that authentic, local vibe, and I loved every bite. Unlike the typical mixed seafood boils, they bag everything separately, and I mixed it all together once I got back to my place. They have some garlic butter you can add, and I got it spicy! It definitely had a kick, and I loved it. I had a pound of shrimp, added sausage, two boiled eggs, the BOMBEST potatoes and corn, all tossed with the spicy garlic butter and I devoured it. Let me just brag on that shrimp and those potatoes for a second: both were amazing. The potatoes were cooked to perfection! Soft, not mushy, and seasoned just right. And the shrimp? Wow. I can still taste it. If you're in NOLA, you have to check this spot out! I will say one more thing though I wish I had room to try the gumbo! I would have loved to taste it here. Lastly, I didn't get to grab a po' boy in town, so we came back the next morning to try one. Sadly, the seafood section wasn't ready yet (we went around 10:30am), but the roast beef po' boy with gravy, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and maybe few other ingredients in it was incredible. I loved it! You'll definitely catch me here again next time I'm in town. 10,000/10. Thank you, cooks! A few practical things: if you're driving, there's parking. The service was friendly, prices were great, and while there isn't indoor seating, the waiting area is decent-sized. Just know it can get busy!

We were hungry and expected a normal, enjoyable seafood experience, but unfortunately, the restaurant's inconsistent service policy overshadowed our visit. When our group arrived, we were told that anyone seated outside on the patio had to pay for their entire meal before the food would be served. Although that was unusual, we respected what we were told was the restaurant's policy and paid upfront without an issue. However, while eating, we noticed that other guests seated on the same patio were allowed to enjoy their meals and pay afterward. We watched several of these interactions, so it became clear that the rule was not being applied consistently. When we questioned it, we learned that our server required patio guests to pay in advance, while another server chose not to enforce that policy with their customers. That inconsistency made our group feel singled out and uncomfortable. If paying upfront is truly the restaurant's patio policy, it should be applied equally to every customer--not enforced based on which server happens to handle the table. As for the food, I tried the charbroiled crab legs for the first time, and the flavor was interesting. Unfortunately, the service issue left a much stronger impression than the meal itself. Because of that experience, I'm unsure whether I would return to this location.

But if you're looking for that bold, seasoned, Louisiana-style flavor that makes you want to keep eating, this wasn't it. For me, it was a complete waste of money and definitely not worth the hype.

It's definitely become a place we keep coming back to. We usually get the seafood boil with snow crab legs, and this time we went with the medium heat and butter garlic flavor. Everything was really good and full of flavor. My husband and I got the potatoes as our sides, while my daughter got the boiled eggs. We also ordered a side of French fries to share, and let me just say... we ate those so fast that I completely forgot to take a picture! They were good! I also like the whole seafood boil experience here. They offer you a bib and gloves if you want them, which definitely comes in handy when you're getting into those crab legs. The service has been good every time we've visited, and the atmosphere is always lively. One of the coolest things happened after we had finished eating. Someone came around offering little samples for people to try, and they stopped by our table and asked if we wanted to try the soft-shell shrimp. I'm not sure if it's something new on the menu or just something they were serving as a sample, but we said yes -- and I'm so glad we did! That shrimp was delicious! It literally melted in my mouth. I'm usually not a big fan of eating anything with the shell still on, but this was so good that I didn't even mind it. Definitely not what I expected, and it was probably one of my favorite little surprises of the visit. I didn't take a ton of pictures this time, but I'll share the few that I did get.

One restaurant that locals constantly recommended to me was Drago's Seafood in Metairie, and now I completely understand why. I ordered the charbroiled oysters along with the crawfish platter that came with crawfish étouffée, crawfish mac and cheese, and fried crawfish. Every single thing on the table was incredible. The charbroiled oysters absolutely lived up to the hype rich, buttery, smoky, and packed with flavor. The crawfish platter was just as impressive and gave me a chance to try multiple Louisiana dishes all in one meal. What really stood out to me beyond the food was the service. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient with questions from someone who isn't from Louisiana and still learning the local food scene. You can tell they take pride in both the restaurant and the hospitality. The only downside is parking can get a little complicated because the place fills up fast, which honestly says a lot about how popular it is. Just plan ahead or expect a short wait finding a spot.
