    Boiled crawfish medium spice

    Was so good! Crawfish were huge and delicious. Super fast shipping with very reasonable pricing throughout. Will definitely order again and highly recommend this place.

    I think I crave some form of seafood every other day. Unfortunately the only ones I know of are 20 minutes or more away. So I decided to take a risk and try a place not too far from my apartment. I called beforehand to see the price of crawfish. It was 5.89 (needless to say I was sold because the place I usually go to was charging 7.99/lb. Like I understand it's the beginning of the season but sheesh). Anywho, I was super surprised! The menu had a lot of things I honestly wanted to buy and try for the next time I go out! The crawfish was pretty good! Very spicy, which I like. And I got the pork egg rolls, they were good too. Crunchy and fried just right. I say if you're in the Kenner area definitely give them a try because I definitely will be back.

    WOW! This place is so non-descriptive in location it's a great find! Huge carry out business and a great menu too. I had the oyster poor boy that was heaping with oysters. I also had a shrimp boudin that I had not had before, it's a shrimp sausage, fried. While just OK, the spiciness was good and worth the try. Located off and tucked back off the main road it's worth the effort. Nice lunch!

    Gumbo was not too thick and not too runny; it was the perfect consistency and served with rice. It had plump shrimp, sausage, and just a delicious hearty warm gumbo. Went with a group of friends and we all decided we wanted round 2 of gumbo the next day, that's how much we all liked it. Crawfish was the perfect amount of heat/spice and savory. The corn and sausage was good but the star was the turkey neck! So so tender, juicy, and savory. Chicken wings were the smaller ones, which to me are the perfect size. They had a nice crunch without all the batter.

    We stopped by here yesterday during lunch time and was NOT disappointed... Their crawfish was SOO freakin' good, y'all!!! Like, FOR REAL, for real. I've practically tried the boiled crawfish from every other seafood establishment in Kenner (most were decent, but not usually something to write home about... or would even merit a second visit), and this one is by far THE BEST!!! Location is a bit isolated from the rest of Williams Blvd., but it's totally worth the drive. P.S., they also sell poboys and seafood plates, but we didn't get a chance to try them yet... Will definitely do so the next time we stop by (honestly, I'm already planning on coming back sometime next week). The owner was extremely nice and accommodating, which is always an added bonus in my book. TIP: I'd suggest calling them in advance if you're coming for crawfish, because they can easily sell out on a weekday (they sold out while we were there). Final Thoughts: Don't sleep on "DAT" crawfish, guys!! lol, get it...?! It's called "Captain Dat" *inserts crying face emoji*

    I found this little comfort food gem out in Kenner. OMG. The wings are piping hot-always, and the rice is so buttery with nicely sized shrimp. @captaindat504 seafood spot is so good! A family business with quality comfort food. It you are looking for a nice little seafood spot to fill your glutinous desires during the quarantine, grab a to go order ASAP. It's on Williams Blvd. allllll the way at the end in the new the new construction project on the left. I'm excited to see what else is coming to that area

    Stopped by to get some crawfish and ended up with turkey neck, gumbo, and a hot sausage sandwich. All were very delicious. Gumbo and crawfish were very well seasoned. Well definitely return again.

    Great boil! Went there today not even sure if they were open... They were very open and had boiled crawfish for sale... We bought 5 pounds and took them home. The boil flavor is spicy and good... Not too spicy. Hints of lemon and other delicious spices.

    So delicious! Best crawfish in Kenner! Perfectly juicy & spicy. Highly recommended!

    Seafood (crawfish, corn, potatoes, pig feet) was bland. Crawfish had no flavor. All the sides were literally bland. Would not be back!

After 5ppl they charge you a gratuity fee. Which that's fine, but at least work for the gratuity fee. I feel like waiters that get gratuity feel as though they don't have to work because they have already gotten my tip. Also they charge you $15 if you bring a cake into their establishment. Also I DID not like how they treated a group of "black" young men that came into the restaurant. The food was absolutely disgusting.i hate swai fish. And if your restaurant isn't serving "REAL" catfish at least advertise that on your menu. The fries were hard and overcooked. The egg rolls were semi decent. Definitely would not recommend this place of business

    I had a very disappointing experience at Stingrays this weekend. Not only was the food…read moreunsatisfactory, but the customer service was even worse. I ordered two Crawfish Taylor, and when I checked my food before leaving, I noticed that both of them contained only four crawfish tails. Had I not checked before leaving, I would have been stuck with food that was clearly not worth what I paid. When I brought the issue to management's attention and requested a refund, the manager/owner was rude, racist,dismissive, and very unprofessional. I was initially told that I could only receive a refund for one crawfish, despite both orders being unsatisfactory. After standing up for myself and insisting on a full refund of the $33.95 I spent, the situation escalated unnecessarily. What was most upsetting was being threatened with having the police called on me simply because I was requesting my money back for food I was unhappy with. I left feeling disrespected and unfairly treated. Based on my experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to others. Your response is completely inaccurate. The owner is not telling the full truth about what happened. She did threaten to call the police, but she never did because she knew she was wrong in how she handled the situation. My cousin did not use any profanity until after the owner snatched the bag of boiled crawfish from us and threw it back at us. No one ever stood on a chair, and several details in your statement are simply false. The issue started because we paid for food that was not prepared as advertised and were dissatisfied with the quality. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner became rude, confrontational, and disrespectful. Customers should not be treated that way when they have a legitimate complaint. We are sharing our experience as it happened, and we stand by our account of the events.

    Yes! So this place has new ownership apparently. I've never been but from the feedback I've heard…read moreit has improved since the change. New the old esplanade mall, is this restaurant ready to serve you some good seafood (they also have non seafood for ppl who don't eat it). Promptly greeted, we walked in to a nice and clean spot. Service does take a minute to come to table and bring food out but once they do, the food is really good. Nice portions for the price! I highly recommend the boudin eggrolls as well. Also the drinks, yes yes yes.

We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

However, the food was sub par for the price. The hummus and pita Appetizer was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had the Honey Island Chicken which was good but not $17 good. It came with basic, undercooked and unsalted fries. The daughter had the Philly Steak Panini which didn't look appealing and she said it was overly full of mayo which is mixed in with the meat. Our granddaughter had the Balsamic Salmon which looked so pretty and was delicious but it was almost $30 and came with 2 basic sides. The hamburgers were cooked well but still only came with a basic side and the fries were awful. The atmosphere was okay but a bit dark. Thankful we had the gift certificate because we all decided this was a one and done!
