    No frills in here. You come for the food and that's it. I was towards the end of crawfish season so not the best quality butttt the way they made it - that spice no sauce is exactly what I was looking for and hard to find at that time. Definitely would go back. I was nervous eating the potato looks like it been in there for 4 days so I'll stick to just the crawfish.

    I got the gumbo and wasn't the biggest fan of it. The service was above average. The place was busy, lots of folks sitting in enjoying what Cajun Seafood has to offer which is a massive menu of seafood. I also got the shrimp po boy on a bun, the cheapest option. I packed this bad boy with lots of hot sauce and it was the best item I ordered from Cajun Seafood. I'd def come back and try something other than the gumbo but the po boy hit the spot.

    Cajuns is my first stop everytime im in the city. The lines can get long but they do move fast.All the boiled meats that I've tried are delicious.

    I never had a bad meal. Never had a bad bag or anything. Never had a bad box of anything. Never had a bad bite of ANYTHING! If you like flavor, seasoning and spice, this is your spot! I always get turkey necks, snow crab, corn, potatoes and eggs. Service is consistent and quick. This location is always clean and the restrooms are attended to. (Only posted my bags this time because I was ready to eat maybe I'll post more later!)

    Rating: 9.5/10 A staple! This is my favorite location and it's the perfect spot under the bridge off Claiborne. Food: It's early in the season so the crawfish were a bit small. The flavor is soooooooo good! Also tried their fried rice, it reminded me instantly of the kind from STL. Price: Crawfish were going for $8.99 a lb.

    The service is pretty quick, and set up cafeteria style. There's two different lines; the boil seafood and fried seafood/kitchen items. The prices are reasonable. I can only review the crawfish, but I can let you know that this place did not disappoint with a boil crawfish! A few people recommended Cajun Seafood as a spot to check out in New Orleans. I was craving crawfish, so I decided to check this place out. The crawfish was decent in size for early season, juicy, spicy, and full of flavor. There's plenty of seating available. At the time I visited, there was a guy who was manging and cleaning the area. He took great are of us and made sure we had napkins and trays. Just an FYI, Cajun Seafood is outside of the tourist areas.

    Wanted a seafood boil but also wanted it to go sooo.. I went here . When you pull up is def brightly lit so you can see inside and pause with ease . Service was standard because they are use to volumes of people coming in and out. Food was surprisingly good , I say that because you see it sitting out and misjudge the taste but I tell you I got the crab legs that was in that bucket and they were still way too remove and so much flavor and I got a side of fried rice and some garlic sauce " which I heard you could get it for free before they got brand new" I didn't even leave when I ordered my food I ate it all there at the restaurant and I felt like a pig but a satisfied one. The ambiance isn't loving but food great.

    Best local NOLA food! When I travel, I've learned to eat where the locals eat--and The Original Cajun Seafood did not disappoint. Nestled in the heart of a neighborhood, this spot offers fresh seafood and hot, made-to-order dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the soft-shell crabs, which were perfectly seasoned and fried, along with the shrimp fried rice. I also grabbed a praline for dessert. Prices are very reasonable, and we opted to dine in. I'll definitely be a loyal repeat customer--this is officially a new tradition for my NOLA trips.

    Turkey necks and eggs. I had started eating off one of those necks.

    Ok listen. This place doesn't get talked about when coming to get food in New Orleans. Found this spot on the way out and couldn't believe I didn't know about it before. Giant turkey necks, boiled crabs of all sizes, Chinese food, fried seafood platters, fried turkey wings, crawfish by the lb, and even Pig feet. I got some turkey necks with eggs and it was seasoned perfectly. Mad I was leaving and didn't get more. There are a few tables to sit but this is more like a grab and go place. The line was constantly long but constantly moving. This is now on my list everytime I come to town.

    Stopped by Cajun Seafood and really enjoyed the meal. The seafood was fresh and flavorful with a nice spicy kick. Got a pound of crawfish and shrimp with potatoes and corn -- everything was cooked perfectly and packed with taste. Would definitely return for more!

    Crawfish By The Pound
    Christopher Q.

    This place has the best crawfish I've ever had, even my mom ate 10 pounds by herself! We ordered 12 pounds of crawfish and all of it was perfectly hot, spicy, and seasoned. The service was also amazingly fast as there was a guy who gave all of us plastic gloves, cardboard boxes, plates, utensils, and paper towels. He definitely deserved a tip. The ambience of this place is casual, it's similar to a food court with tvs displaying the menu. The price for the crawfish was reasonable unlike some other restaurants near it. Overall a great experience and I would recommend this location. The 1.2k reviews don't lie.

    I wish we had found this place sooner because we absolutely would have eaten here more than once. We were looking for local seafood, specifically blue crab. We ended up going all over the place until we ended up here. The selection here was fantastic. The pricing was super reasonable. And everything was absolutely delicious. Couldn't recommend this option more. Definitely not a fancy restaurant, but that isn't what we were looking for. Casual, delicious, with local options.

    Outside location at 10am opening on a Friday

    THE FIRST STOP EVERY TIME I TOUCH DOWN! This is a buffet style setup as well as fried foods made to order. They have inside seating and depending on the time you go, expect a line. I was there at 10am on a Friday rising to assure I didn't have to wait and I could get my Mardi Gras Festivities started! No matter what you order, get a pineapple big shot to go along with it! You won't be disappointed! The crawfish was yummy and seasoned really well, as always! The corn is spicy and I love it! The crab was an offering but the seagulls loved it! Make sure you stop here and get whatever you have the taste for because you won't regret it!

    I ordered pig feet and turkey necks via Door Dash. Food was hot when received however the pigs feet were a bit salty.

    Go to spot whenever in Nola. It's giving summer vibes but cafeteria. The food is always on point and never disappoints.

    My family plans to visit NOLA in August. Would there be any crawfish left (fresh or frozen) and price please? Thank you so much for your help!

    They will be out of season So they probly will not have any but you can always try

    Do the boil bags come with some type of seasoning/sauce?

    No additional seasoning outside of how the meal was cooked but the food is well seasoned in advance.

    What time does this place open?

    10:30/11

    Are they open on Mardi Gras?

    Yes hellllllla busy thoo

    Does crawfish still fresh and in season? How was the frozen cf?

    It's in season from March to June. They will keep some frozen ones in stock, but I don't find it to be as good.

    Was recommended this place and I'm glad we were! Seafood boil bags for these prices are unheard of…read more Plus the flavor is so freaking good. I wanted to try the Chinese food as well but my little tummy can only fit so much but the seafood was delicious. The service was fast and straight to the point which we appreciated because we were very hungry. If I'm in town I will come back for sure.

    East Harbor is a newer restaurant, but I'm already obsessed! I'm ashamed to say how many times…read morewe've been there already since we discovered it. If you love seafood boils, you have to come by to try this place out! They have boiled seafood very similar to the kind that's served at Big EZ Seafood and Oyster in Kenner, but they also have regular Americanized Chinese food if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout. I love their Chinese takeout food too, but the bags of boiled seafood are really the appeal here. Their portions are large and generous, their prices low and cheap, the quality of food is high, and everything is delicious. The boiled seafood here is a little bit different than the truly New Orleanian style of boil you might be used to eating. You can choose the type of seasonings you want (Cajun, spicy seafood, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or a combination of multiple),and you can choose your spice/heat level (mild to extra hot) too. I love the customization! Their seafood "combos" are a fantastic deal. For example, for just $20, you get 1lb of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage slices. This is my favorite go-to item here for sure. Because it's messy, if you're eating there, they provide you with disposable gloves and a wet wipe, which we all welcome lol Their Chinese takeout is great too and always comes with generous portions. One thing to note is that the takeout items tend to be a little low on salt for my tastes, but that's an easy fix with a salt shaker. I think it's a good thing especially for people who might have dietary restrictions on their sodium intake. Remember, it's easy to add salt to a dish, but nearly impossible to remove it! All in all, East Harbor is a 5-star, must-try, go-to-favorite restaurant! ESPECIALLY for their boiled seafood!!
