For what it's, a great spot for an emergency po boy. Nice people run it. Cheap. Oyster po boy excellent. The bread is perfect. I haven't tried anything else there but likely great. read more

This place is a cute little spot right by a university. The family that runs the restaurant was sweet and kind. The menu was pretty big, so there's a lot of variety if you're looking for something to eat. We ordered the crawfish and shrimp with some crabs. The price was pretty decent $7/lb but we also went during the end of crawfish season. Crawfish was mildly spicy with good flavor. My favorite was the shrimp which was really tender. There's a decent amount of parking in front of the restaurant. read more

Great family run huge assortment of food everyone can find something they like and the service is great

The crawfish fried rice is worth checking out. I would also recommend the shrimp. Not fancy, but good eats.

A hidden gem in New Orleans! I've loved everything I've tried from C & A. I highly recommend the gumbo, baked catfish plate, and any po-boys! Their crawfish is super juicy and big when in season. I've eaten here for years and I would recommend anyone to check out C & A! read more

Favorite boiled seafood spot, love this place. Great service, great food. Definitely recommend here if you never had boiled seafood before!

Excellent seafood every time I dine there. Indoor and outdoor dining. Clean environment. read more

Roast beef poor boy and the shrimp/catfish seafood platter (with double shrimp fried rice) both AMAZING! Ordering = easy. Prices = reasonable. Service = top notch. The restaurant is spacious and clean. My husband and I were first timers during our last visit to New Orleans a few months ago and we will definitely be back as repeat customers! read more

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! read more

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. read more

C & A Seafood - Vegetable fried rice /extra broccoli - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have visited this establishment a while back and my experience was not good. After hearing locals talk about it I decided to try it again. To my surprise it is still awful. I ordered the broccoli and shrimp with rice and it was terrible. The broccoli taste like lighter fluid. WHY? The rice was old. While waiting, I observed that boiled shrimp is sold for 12.59 lb. Boiled shrimp is being sold around the city for 7 to 8 dollars a lb. This is taking advantage of locals who are not able to get to other areas. SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO SU PPORT THEM. I will never buy from here again. read more

I've been to C&A Seafood many times over the years and it's almost never disappointed me. As soons as you walk in, the cashiers greet you very welcomingly and your stomach will definitely growl at the smell of all of the seafood. The prices may seem high, but it's definitely worth it for the quality and large portion sizes. The gumbo is definitely one of the best in the city and a must-try when you go to C&A Seafood! read more

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. :| read more

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. read more

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). read more

C & A Seafood - NOT EXACTLY STUFFED: the shrimp po boy isn't bad it's just not memorable- small shrimp, sparse pickle slices, no real flavor; $9. - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Forgot to take pics of the food. It's a really nice spot with outdoor dining and indoor tables for crawfish with friends. I have yet to try their crawfish. I've been here for takeout for their fried chicken (yes!!), and chicken fried rice (oh my god yes, it's not like crazy or anything but I think they put toasted garlic or something in it that makes it so damn good and flavorful), crawfish pies weren't my favorite, but I'm not the biggest fan of them! The staff is nice, seems good for groups. Good amount of parking as well. read more

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 read more

Just adding in another review. Shrimp po boy still bland. Seafood off the tray still AMAZING. Crawfish was a bit spicy this time but I was there for it. Took about twenty min for my lips to recover ha. read more

Best Crawfish we've ever had. My wife and I ALWAYS stop by whenever we drive through the area. They tend to be harder to peel but meat is sweeter than most places. Owner and attendants are very friendly and helpful. read more

I enjoy regional specialties and was excited to see Yakamein on the menu. Yakamein is Nawlins version of the hangover soup. Also known as "Old Sober" it is their Menudo or Pho. It usually has stewed beef, spaghetti noodles and a boiled egg. C&A serves the quick version of this soup. I liked their broth and noodles but wished they used stewed beef instead of beef broccoli style beef. It was satisfying though and a quick fix. They have a wide variety of seafood and we got the crawfish. It was fun to try and our first Nola whole crawfish experience. It was pretty good, but I missed the Boiling Crab Whole Sha-bang sauce. I've always been interested in Vietnamese Cajun boils so I was happy to try the place out. Very nice and friendly staff. read more

The staff here are VERY rude! It was my first time ordering here and I placed a phone order. When I got to the place, the cashier (a man) told me my price and proceeded to give me my food. Once I heard the price, I'm thinking to myself they must have gotten something wrong. When I saw my meal, it was not what I had ordered. I told the cashier that there must have been a mix up over the phone, because my order was wrong. He told me that he was not going to change the order because it was "already made". He said I still had to pay. I told him no of course. He got an attitude and said he wasn't going to fix my order. Y'all....all I had was a hot sausage poboy. I asked for it on a bun, and they gave it to me on a 12inch! What I'm gone do with that!? The sandwich could have easily just been cut in half. Why would I pay $19 when WHAT I ORDERED was only $9 ?! If you want good service, don't go here go somewhere else! read more

I LOVE this place it's the best I promise, if you dont like overly season seafood this is your place! It has a great flavor but not too much to where you can't enjoy it I come here often read more

I am an original resident of New Orleans and want to express my deepest concern of the poor quality of poboys sold here. This isn't our flavor! I ordered the shrimp Po boy and it was fried in old awful grease also, I added the house rice. What a big mistake?! Never order from a picture. I received egg fried rice instead of combination. This place is a joke! Never again. read more

Decent Seaford, but customer service is deplorable. Which is really sad, because this place has some potential.

I pass by this place multiple times a week and it wasn't until my neighbor suggested i try it that i stopped in. So far i've tried two items from here, the shrimp po boy and the chicken and shrimp yakamein. Both were superb, but whoa overpriced. Seems like a good spot to get crawfish (when in season, of course) and some turkey necks, but as far as the po boys go, there are better deals elsewhere, but if you're in a time crunch and want one while you're in the area, go for it. I'll give them another try at some point, it'll have to be whenever the stars and moon align just right though to get me back in there. Far from terrible, but places like this are a dime a dozen in New Orleans. They seem to be getting some good business, as they should. Check em out though, it would have gotten a fourth star from me if the prices were a little more competitive. read more

unfortunately the quality has gone way down hill and the prices have quadrupled. the food was just okay but sooo expensive

I have found, when purchasing seafood, they are over charging customers on the scales. Be mindful of market price per pound when purchasing from this restaurant read more

This is a nice, quick spot for artery clogging goodness. The fried seafood poboys and platters are perfect. Their batter is crisp and tangy - no tarter sauce needed. They also have great boiled snow crabs. Everything is pre boiled then placed back into spicy stock for heat up. read more

I was in New Orleans for a meeting and local friends recommended this place. Outstanding service and quality!

Hands down, THE WORST SEAFOOD IN NEW ORLEANS. The crawfish were small, dry, and flavorless. They were also very overpriced. They weigh them IN the metal container - NOT COOL. Also charged me $12 for 2 pieces of corn and 2 potatoes. Top it all off with an incredibly rude young woman waiting on me. I wish I could give less than 1 star. AVOID THIS PLACE read more

My aunt recommended this place for an authentic Cajun style crawfish. I was not dissatisfied at all. Everything was perfect. The crawfish sizes were medium to large and the crabs had delicious goodies inside of them. The special friend rice was delicious also. I would recommend this place to anyone. Houston can't compete. read more

Seafood, poboys, gumbo, red beans, etouffe, Chinese food and Vietnamese vermicelli are all excellent. They do not serve pho. The house fried rice is very, very good. Quick service and reasonable prices for large servings. Highly recommended for lunch. Decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

This place is SO GOOD. Good spices, great prices. Want a romantic dinner but can't cook lobster? Done. Want some crawfish but don't feel like boiling? Done. Feeling sick/hungover and jonsing for some Yakamein? Sure, what kind you want? Pork? Chicken? Shrimp? All three? No problem. Poboy lunch? Right here, bra. In a nutshell--this place is legit. Haven't tried the chicken wings yet, but pretty sure that will happen very soon...it's football season! read more

C & A Seafood - Chicken & Shrimp Yakamein. Ohhhh yea! - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Very nice and clean atmosphere but much overrated and too expensive for the seafood to be so bland ! Instead of boiling the snow crabs in the seafood boil to give it that flavorful taste they soak them in crab boil water for like a minute or two.... not long enough to get flavor ! I will give them their snow crabs are a nice size and very full (be prepared to pay $18-22 per crab) it just lacks flavor ! I love seafood so I don't mind paying for it I just need it to be worth what I'm paying! Be prepared to pay $35-50 per person at least to eat the seafood and fixings ! But the atmosphere is very nice and cozy ! Nice place to sit and eat comfortably with outdoor seating ! Great for people who don't mind Mild seafood ! read more

This is probably my favorite...in town. if you're going to splurge, this is the place to do it. The Owner as well as the employees are welcoming and are unfailingly polite, friendly, and mannerly. They are obviously committed to ensuring that customers are satisfied with their purchase and experience. Customers are provided with fast service and affordable prices. The prices are terrific, and the meals are delicious. Highly recommend this place the food and ambience make this a place. I'll definitely return and bring my friends. The Halls read more

This place has the best seafood. It is very flavorful and you can tell the seafood has been properly marinated. I came here during this Mardi Gras weekend, so it was kind of busy which I think is a good sign. My family ordered several pounds of crawfish and two Snow crabs. The Snow crabs were my favorite part of the seafood medley we ordered. I could tell they were extremely seasoned when I was cracking one of the crab legs open and the juice from it got in my eye, which was painful lol. I also really like their outside seating area, it was a nice touch to sit outside the restaurant on a warm Mardi Gras day in picnic tables while cracking open crab & crawfish with daquiris to wash it all down. read more

This place was OK. The Gumbo wasn't up to snuff, the po-boy bread wasn't roasted enough. The boiled crawfish were good.
