let me start off saying this is the best cajun seafood i had while visiting Louisiana. My best friend, boyfriend and I visited from California. I really wanted some cajun food, so we decided to try cajun seafood. Out of the whole week there, that meal was the best meal I had and honestly still crave for it. The place was a togo place with no dine-ins. It is a grab and go, however fried food does take a while to order. Now onto the food: - crawfish- their dry seasoning is so good.... I will always choose it over boiling crab in california any day -turkey necks- this was my first time trying this, and omg they were so good!!! I didnt know it was going to be huge so i got 4 pieces.... i couldnt even finish 1 turkey neck by myself... but it was soo moist and tender that the meat fell off the skin. -fried shrimp and oysters- my best friend loves this... -fried rice- The rice was just ordinary fried rice that my mom makes -fried chicken wings- basic chicken wings. Probably could leave without it It was so much food... everything totaled to be only 60-70. It was amazing. I would definitely come back!!!! Im salivating thinking of their food.. We definitely cant find that kind of food here with that kind of price. read more

I tried for the 3rd time on the crawfish and I have made my final decision. The crawfish is absolute TRASH!! And they use to be my favorite, even when the price was ridiculous, I would still support because they were THAT good. Now they're always small and dead, different color flesh like they were rotten when they cooked them. The fried chicken and shrimp fried rice was solid. They got plates are still good as well as the high ass ​lol but the ​is a definite NO. read more

The shrimp were overcooked and cold at the same time because they were sitting out for who knows how long. Ambiance was ok its just like a gas station. Do not recommend. read more

Cajun Seafood - Shrimp fried rice and overcooked chewy crawfish - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Usually, I've never had a problem when visiting Cajun. Very seldom do I encounter the owner(s) when there but on this day I did. Once at the counter, I waited a few minutes while he and another worker (owner) completed their conversation, though this itself was awkward because they both acted as if I wasn't even there. He then turned to me in the most unpleasant way asking, YEEES! I looked at this greeting as being rude and obnoxious. It was then I decided to leave without purchasing anything but not before shouting at him why I chose not to patronize his establishment. I became somewhat belligerent in my language because I was so angry. A few days later I went back to apologize for my actions and my apology was received. Still, I have not been back as a returning customer. read more

The fried food is seasoned very well & is very good. The boiled food is extremely spicy where you can't enjoy it .

Visiting New Orleans and read the reviews on this place .... Decided to go as it was within walking distance from my Airbnb. This is NOT an eat-in place. More like a convenient store that sells some amazing food. They've got boiled shrimp that are larger than the law should allow, boiled crab and huge crab legs and the crawfish... EXCELLENT. It was perfectly seasoned to allow for the taste of the crawfish and some heat but not overdone where you are just eating super hot seasoning with a crawfish flavor to it. They also have hot, fried items: seafood platters, boudin balls, etc. If you're an fan of seafood, you cant go wrong with this place. More of a stop n go joint. But you cant go wrong neither. read more

Cajun Seafood - Menu - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love coming home back to the city because I always go to Cajuns to get some crawfish and a hot sausage poboy! Nothing compares. I was so sad to leave because I knew I wasn't going to be able to find food like this in Dallas. The first time I came was on Saturday around lunch time. And we got 6 pounds of crawfish with 2 big shots. Then later on that day we got 2 more pounds of crawfish lol. Yeah, we had been craving some good crawfish so we had to double back. And finally, right before we left to come back to Dallas we got hot sausage poboys, 2 more big shots, and a box of mama noodles. Yes, you can say it was a pretty good experience. I'm just counting the days I can come back home and get some again. read more

Every time i write a review its good or bad, and this one bad. I got a shrimp on bun from here TWICE and the shrimp was RAW. Omg that is the worst experience ever and to have it happen twice, is even worst Never again. read more

This was THE perfect place to show my friends what TRUE boiled seafood tastes like. This spot is no-frills-- you can't dine inside, and don't expect fancy decor either. But the food cancels all that out. They offer a wide selection of seafood and cajun food, crawfish, shrimp, crab, poboys, etc, along with Chinese dishes. There's something for everybody here. Now the line and wait were pretty long because this place is popular, but it was well worth it. The boiled shrimp was to die for. Perfectly seasoned. We hauled our food down to the lake and enjoyed it there. a New Orleans STAPLE read more

Cajun Seafood - I bought 2 10pcs wings with Shrimp fried rice and there was a roach in my rice - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I am a connoisseur of ALL THINGS CRAWFISH... and while this CAJUNS is not my 1st choice, it does ok to come in 5th. The crawfish were nicely flavored, not too spicy where you're sucking on ice after sucking each head & not too bland where you're reaching for the Tony Chachere's, #IJS. The corn, turkey-necks and pig feet are prepackaged, so to speak. I guess to be more expeditious while filling orders, the staff has pre-bagged those items. Not a bad Idea, I guess, but for me I like to have my pig feet, turkey necks and corn sitting in the juicy juices, yeahhhhhh baby!!!!!! This day in particular, this Cajun's restaurant's crawfish were about .50 cent cheaper that one of the others that I frequent & the line wasn't too long either. As at other Cajun restaurants there's a line for cooked seafood & a line for the food that has to be prepared. All in all this place was there for me in a time of crawfish-feining, I got my fix & i was good!!!! read more

I kind of swear by Adams Street Grocery po boys, because you can get decent po boys for very cheap. But I had a friend in town and we were planning on getting po boys for dinner, and Adams Street isn't open for dinner, so I was thinking Parkway. But K told me to check out Cajun Seafood, especially if we are getting seafood po boys. I decided to listen to my wise boyfriend who is allergic to all shellfish and give this place a try. Lol. My friend J and I walk in and even though it was really early for dinner on a Sunday the place was quite busy. Maybe everyone was trying to grab some food and go back to their houses and watch football. There were two lines--boiled seafood and fresh seafood. I wasn't sure where I should line up for po boys, so I just lined up behind everybody for boiled seafood. I had to wait for a while but I got to the front of the line and said I wanted to order po boys and they told me I could have gone to the other line. Oh well. Next time. I was skeptical and found myself comparing prices to Adams Street. But we were already there, so I went ahead and ordered a shrimp po boy. J got the fried catfish po boy, which he enjoyed very much. I too enjoyed my shrimp po boy immensely. I don't know if it was just a placebo effect because I was told that their seafood is good, but I felt like the shrimp was much more plump than in any other shrimp po boy I had recently. I will definitely be back here for a shrimp po boy. And maybe I'll try some of their boiled seafood when my sister is in town. read more

The staff were very friendly and it seemed they were knowledgeable of their product. The flavor of the crawfish, crabs, and shrimp I purchased were amazing, but the shell on the shrimp was too soft and was difficult to peel. I've never been to this location before, but haven't counted them out and will give them another try of I'm ever in the area. read more

I am not and have not been a fan of this place but sometimes they are the only place I can find what I'm looking for. The service is a take it or leave it type of attitude. I did order shrimp, turkey necks, and a yakamein from the location. The shrimp is ordered by the pound and turkey by quantity, and both were very tasty but the yakamein tasted like water. The location on Claiborne always looks like it can still uses good mopping. The bathroom didn't seem to lock properly. read more

Yes,yes,yes I had the crawfish, mushrooms, and shrimp. It was so good, the only negative I can say is that my fiancé arrived 30 minutes later and the price of crawfish had jumped up by $2.50 a pound read more

It's always unconcerting when everyone that walks through the door is: "how much is this, how much is that?" Is that with tax or without tax? How about management just cut to the chase and put "EBT CARDS ACCEPTED HERE--NO MINIMUM PURCHASE NEEDED!!!!!" It's kind of like "we never close" here. Where they focus on quantity rather than quality. A person like me would do better at the Westwego seafood mart with a mini-sack of oysters for $20 (1/4), grab the grill & go to town with grilled oysters. read more

Great Crawfish pies! passing through! Meat was tender and well flushed! So good! Savory & Delicious! Thank you!

Huge Po-Boys!! Fully dressed and packed full of shrimp. Everytime I come back home to the N.O. I stop here and buy Po-Boys!! Not many places still doing 18" Po-Boys anymore. read more

First time trying their seafood in years! Keep in mind I'm a local, and in New Orleans, we grew up eating crawfish for breakfast! This place's seafood, particularly their pig feet and turkey neck were undercooked and lacked flavor! The crawfish were hella spicy but lacked flavor! Only a true Orleanian would understand my point! The corn and potatoe lacked flavor! The corn was still crisp yet super spicy and the potatoe top portion-only spicy! Very disappointed! Thank goodness I did not spend too much here! It's sad what these folks are preparing for the New Orleans east area knowing people will go there for convenience, or limited of where they are able to travel to for good seafood! Then they had the nerve to be very pricey! $1.99 for an undercooked neck! Goh! read more

Great , fresh seafood. The moment you pull in the parking lot you can tell you went to the right place. They have all of the favorite cajun foods and the "locals" definitely buy there food there. Parking lot was busy and the food was fresh. The only downside is that they don't take AMEX cards(My corporate travel card). Other than that it's only carry out and no place to sit and eat. Enjoy!! read more

We were told upon visiting San Antonio this is the place to go for seafood... Boy were they WRONG!!! To sum it up the mediocre food is way overpriced for the amount you are served by the ounce. My husband told me it's depending on what you are comparing it too. Well that is true but I'm comparing it to majority of the seafood spots like this that I patronage. Overall, if you have about $30 bucks to waste go ahead, try it for yourself. Warning: they CHARGE for EVERYTHING, nothing comes in the boil bag except what you order. There's no complimentary small golf ball size potato, corn or chopped up bite size pieces of sausage, which is what I chose to add on and paid $4 in addition to. I'm sorry but this was a waste of our money. My husband ordered the fried combo basket and the fish and shrimp and it was good. I will not be returning to this place. read more

Good local eatery. Po-boys were good and the meat pies were great. We were hoping they'd have some etouffee as well but we were denied. Catfish platter was HUGE and good. read more

This is the place for standard seafood if the places on Haynes are closed. What I like most about this place is that they are truthful. You can ask them when they got the crabs and they will tell you. They let you know if they are previously frozen. I have had fresh, fried and boiled seafood from there and have never had issues with freshness or taste. They are also very efficient with dealing with the lines you get on a nice Sunday afternoon or Friday night. read more

Turkey Necks, Chicken Wings, Meat Pies, Expertly seasoned crab, crawfish, and shrimp, it's like I died and went to Cajun Heaven with all this yummy food. I especially like the idea of the huge coolers with a variety of drinks to choose from so you don't have to be limited to just the Coke varieties. read more

Cajun's seafood never disappoints. The crawfish, crabs, and shrimp was well seasoned and priced.

My favorite place to order party wings and delicious Poboy sandwiches!!!!! But the most tastiest of all....THE HOT and Delicious CRAWFISH!!!!!! This is A-MUST place to go for seafood,wings,&poboy! Highly recommended! read more

UPDATE 5/2019: Much better as of late. Shrimp po-boy usually stuffed with large well seasoned shrimp, Great prices. And they usually answer the phone for call in orders, and have it ready in about ten minutes. Review of Apr '18: last couple of times not so good. Dry, overcooked, and not well seasoned shrimp. Tried calling in an order Good Friday, phone just rang. Must've had it off the hook. Unfortunately if you get a hankering for a seafood po-boy after 8:30 pm you're out of luck. They close the kitchen early. read more

Call it in its quicker

Great prices! Last stop before we hit the road. 1lb of crawfish, 1 lb. of shrimp, 1 small gumbo, 1 po boy. All fresh. All seasoned well.

Slow customers in front of me but fast service from Cajun Seafood. The crawfish was spot on and was only $3.50/lb. The only downside is they have tons of room for some tables and chairs but don't have any. I would have loved to have just sat in there and chowed down on some crawfish. The crawfish wasn't as clean as I'd prefer it to be but the seasoning and spice was spot on. read more

Cajun Seafood - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The food is good, but if you're not a local, I don't recommend dining in. There are two lines, one for broiled food and the other for platters. Pay attention to which line you stand in to speed up the visit. Oh and be sure to get salt and pepper on the fries, otherwise they're tasteless. read more

Some of the best boiled seafood I have ever had awaited me here at Cajun Seafood. This place also makes a mean po boy, chicken wings and meat pies. The prices here are some of the best around for boiled seafood. read more

Usually I only try the wings from here, but recently I had to have a po-boy in my life. It was yummy. They were using leidenheimer french bread, it was soo fresh, I enjoyed my turkey sandwich; although they did forget to add my swiss cheese. The location is clean moderately efficient and reasonably priced. Right off the interstate so easy to get to and from. read more

I love it here. Every time I come to new Orleans I HAVE TO EAT HERE. Each time I go I spend like $50. I get the crawdads, snow crab and shrimp. The place is a pick up only, and they also have neck bones, sausage, corn, drinks, seasoning, etc. It's seasoned well and the place has a behind glad setip, similar to icecream shops. The best time to go is before the 5 o clock rush! read more

I tried this place while staying in the New Orleans area. Our hotel wasn't near many restaurants except for some fast food chains and I wanted something slightly healthier (not fried). Although- there are no tables here. It is best to call in your order for pickup, considering it gets packed in there while people are waiting in line for boiled seafood. It is clearly a pretty popular place for the locals in the community. I ordered the grilled fish plate and was pleasantly surprised with the generous portion of fish and how fresh and well seasoned it was. I also enjoyed the corn on the cob, but my boyfriend and I were not too thrilled with the shrimp fried rice...it was lacking in flavor. Overall, this is definitely an authentic little seafood place and I was glad I stopped in. read more
