    Crawfish, shrimp w/ head, Boiled Snow Crab legs, & corn
    Amanda N.

    Wow... my friend recommended me to this place for seafood boil. First off .. apparently it's in the hood per my Uber drivers. They don't have anywhere for you to sit, so you purchase & bring it back to your place. It's super spicy if you can't handle spice. I could handle it, but was struggling. The sauce is really flavorful & it doesn't taste oily like other places I've had. I'm Asian and the rice isn't what I'm used to (hard long grain). The crawfish was fresh and I probably paid the cheapest ever for 3lbs of seafood. Definitely recommend.

    Hot sausage poboy with cheese & Cajun fries
    Jazmin R.

    Found this place first on Yelp and then when talking to our Uber driver he mentioned this place without being prompted so I knew it was going to be great. At first was thinking of getting a shrimp poboy but Uber driver mentioned to try a hot sausage poboy dressed with cheese; "order it like that!"... so that's what I got! I ordered a small which is a foot long. I can't imagine grabbing the large! I barely finished my food because it was so filling. Service was good; there's 2 spots to order from (boil vs. fried food side) but since it wasn't busy, they only had one line open. You walk up to place your order, pay, and get your number that they call out once ready. Place is very spacious and clean. We ended up coming again the day we were leaving for a quick bite. A local hot spot!

    They got it in here, best in the area. In here every time I visit. You get what you pay for portion wise they get you right

    Spicy Crawfish Corn

    This is the place to GO for some bomb ass crawfish boil! Line is always out the door, but well worth the wait. The vibe is super casual, people are here to FEAST! We got 5 lbs. of spicy crawfish and a few corn, plus spicy garlic butter on the side. You can order your seafood boil regular or spicy. We chose spicy because we knew they would bring the heat. The spice level had us teary eyed. Don't order spicy if you're in between spice tolerances, just get the spicy garlic butter to dip into. The crawfish were succulent and juicy, so flavorful with spicy Cajun seasoning. First, you have to separate the head from the tail. Next pinch off the head and suck it, getting all the succulence. Then, peel the tail, dip it into the spicy garlic butter which makes it literally out of this world. Imagine little, tiny lobster tails. The spicy garlic butter was house-made and an extra $4 for each little 2 oz. sauce container. Well worth it, this stuff was liquid heaven. The crawfish was $5.99/lb, an unbeatable price for the quality and quantity. Ended our feast with a slice of Ooey Gooey Red Velvet Cake. Every bite was a soft, buttery, melt in your mouth delight. We had a wonderful time here and highly recommend coming here for a seafood boil when you find yourself in New Orleans. Best crawfish boil, hands down!

    OMG! The best Cajun Seafood and Po Boys ever!!! The gumbo is the best I've ever had- a deep rich seafood stock full of of shrimp, chicken, andouille and crab. Soft shell crab Po Boy and hamburger Po Boys were fresh and delicious on soft yummy bread. Wings are fabulous, I had the Dungeness crab was spicy and delicious, $19 for a lb of these babies, seasoned delicacies! Service was awesome! These ladies and gentlemen really are very hospitable and friendly. The only thing that scared me was the security guard with an AK 40, I guess it's the neighborhood....Ambiance - no tables so everything is to go, they also sell their fresh seafood by the lb. The best!

    Cajun Seafood is a popular takeout spot for seafood lovers in search of bold flavors and unique seasonings. Specializing in boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crab, the menu also features a variety of fresh seafood options. Along with the seafood, Cajun Seafood also offers a variety of sides such as fried rice, pasta, boiled corn, and potatoes. What sets Cajun Seafood apart from other seafood takeout places is the unique blend of flavors and seasonings used in their dishes. The spice level of their seafood can vary, but they are known for being quite spicy, particularly their crawfish, so it's worth noting that those who are not accustomed to Cajun food may want to proceed with caution. For those who love a good kick in their food, this place is a must-try. As a regular customer, I can attest to the quality of the seafood and the excellent service. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, making it an excellent value for the money. The local community seems to share my opinion, as it is a local favorite and a must-visit destination for seafood lovers. In conclusion, Cajun Seafood is a great destination for those looking for a unique and flavorful seafood experience. Also don't forget crawfish pies if that's your thing ( how can it not be ?)

    I will admit if it wasn't for the line outside, I probably would've passed this place...it's definitely not catchy to eye. This place has tons of options and even though I didn't receive my whole order the food was still good.

    Were not the best snow crabs.

    I had a great experience at Superior Seafood! A family member picked this place out so I had no…read moreexpectations but i'm glad this place was chosen! The restaurant had a nice environment and good hospitality. For appetizers, I tried the sizzling jumbo gulf shrimp and char-grilled oysters. Those shrimp were absolutely amazing, the grill added such a great flavor and that garlic butter sauce was drinkable!!! My only complaint was that you only get 4 shrimp that were not jumbo in my eyes, so i'd say this dish was overpriced. While I didn't order the char-grilled oysters I went ahead and tried one. I was hesitant but I was pleasantly surprised, the texture reminded me of a mushroom and the parmesan crust was really good on it. All entrees came with a salad that I wasn't expecting and while the dressing isn't my usual go-to it was really good!!! I couldn't even tell you what it was but it was sweet, garlicky, herbaceous and had a lot of parmesan in it! For my main I ordered the Salmon Lafitte which was grilled salmon with a side of orzo. The salmon had great flavor but was more on the well done side rather than medium well as requested but it was very fresh. The creamy orzo with mushrooms and spinach stole the show. It was delicious and so flavorful, you may need to add salt to it but all the ingredients complemented each other so well and made a very good dish. My sister ordered the Herb Roasted Chicken with Broccolini and Mashed Potatoes which was also a very good dish. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well throughout, again maybe slightly overcooked but the flavor was delicious and the garlic butter sauce that came with it was divine!! Overall, I will definitely be dining here again! I had a memorable time and look forward to making my next visit here!

    Cooter Brown's is truly an Uptown New Orleans staple…read more This classic tavern and oyster bar is one of my go-to spots when I'm looking to just chill, grab a great drink, and enjoy solid New Orleans food in a laid-back environment. Located right at St. Charles & Carrollton on the streetcar line, it's super easy to get to and always buzzing in the best way. The drink options are endless--great cocktails, frozen margaritas, beer by the glass or pitcher, and a huge variety of beers to choose from. TVs are everywhere, making it a perfect spot to catch sporting events, meet up with friends, or just hang out solo. The vibe is low-key, casual, and welcoming--no frills, just a consistently good time. I also love that they're open 11 AM to 1 AM, seven days a week, which is clutch no matter the day or occasion. And finding out they've been around since 1977 just adds to the charm and legacy. If you're looking for great happy hour options, strong cocktails, classic New Orleans eats, and an Uptown spot where you can relax and connect with friends, Cooter Brown's always delivers. Definitely one of those places that never goes out of style. A true NOLA staple.

    This was some of the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time…read more I ordered the steamed crabs. As soon as they arrived, I picked one up and immediately thought, "Wow, this is incredibly light." Anyone who eats crabs regularly knows that's usually a bad sign. When I opened it, it was completely hollow inside--nothing but an empty shell. A crab that is hollow like that was dead before it was cooked. I never took a single bite. I showed it to our server, Remy B., who apologized and said she would let the manager know. She took the plate away, so I assumed the issue was being handled. When the bill arrived, I was still charged for the crabs. I asked to speak with a manager and explained exactly what happened. She confirmed that I had notified the server and that the plate had been taken away. Then she told me that it didn't matter because their policy is to not give refunds or remove food from a check. Let that sink in: they acknowledged that I didn't eat the food, acknowledged that the server removed it, and still charged me for it. A restaurant standing behind its food is the bare minimum. Charging customers for food that was clearly unacceptable and never eaten is ridiculous. The lack of concern from management was even more disappointing than the crab itself. The only reason this review isn't 1 star is because the young man at the host stand was friendly, professional, and the one bright spot of the entire experience.

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. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that feels genuinely loved by locals and absolutely worth visiting if you're traveling through the New Orleans area.
