Downtown Seafood is one of those little hole-in-the-wall local places that you should know about…read more It's right on Third Street just a few doors north of Town Square on North Blvd. It has an unassuming storefront right by an Irish Bar. The inside is clean, simple, and contemporary. But the main thing about this place is the food, it's pretty special. The food isn't special because it's fancy, in fact it's pretty simple. It's definitely homestyle, and super fresh. It's freshly made to order, and your order will come out quickly. As the name would suggest, they have seafood, both fried and grilled. It can come on bread or without bread. All are good choices. It's piping hot and delicious, and can come with a variety of sides, fries, onion rings, even sweet potato fries. These are all tasty and freshly made. Usually one can get a combo with one's sandwich, which includes fries and a drink. This is nicely priced. However, in addition to the seafood, they make a really good burger. Again, the freshness and simplicity make it special. It's also a great value! Then there are the salads and plates. Something for everyone! Drop in and see what the Downtown lunch crowd has been enjoying, odds are you'll like it too...

The regulars also gave me a brief history about the place and told me that everything on the menu was fantastic. Leblanc's has a very nice family atmosphere and I even had a worker on the hot lunch line offer to check on my order after 40 minutes. The place was super busy so be prepared to wait for a while at lunch time. As the sign says, "it's good food, not fast food." It took 50 minutes to place my order and receive my food. During this time waiting I did become enticed by the hot lunch that had catfish and fried chicken. Visually their food on the hot lunch line appeared miles ahead of what's served at the Jett's Food Mart. The inside of the restaurant was pretty clean and well maintained given the storied history of the building. I walked away with a cheeseburger and fries with a vegetable plate containing broccoli rice, cabbages and okra and tomato. The burger patty was less seasoned than I expected but it was a good quality homestyle burger. They serve all toppings on the burger except ketchup. Nothing to complain about. The fries were also a great complement. There is also plenty of salt, pepper and other condiments that you can use to your liking. The vegetable plate was absolutely fantastic and flavorful. Cabbages were full of tender meat and the broccoli rice has visible onions, plenty of cheese and was very delicious. I have a feeling that this is the best hot lunch line in Zachary. I will be back.

I returned the food & asked to speak with a manage, but conveniently there wasn't a manger on site so I left my contact info. The manager (Nory) called a few hours later not to address my concern, but to insult my intelligence & palate by delivering a dissertation on how fish naturally smells and the oils it produces. And I quote, "you are the only customer who complained TODAY." The fish did not taste or smell fishy, it was SPOILED! What they failed to understand is that it only takes one customer to tell you your food is inedible for it to warrant attention. I wasn't looking for a lecture; I simply wanted a sincere apology and reassurance that my concern was being taken seriously. Instead, I was met with defensiveness and condescension. 0/10 I do NOT recommend!

Each one of the items I ordered was delicious but had it's own particular seasoning. The one thing I didn't like, I don't attribute to them, I failed to think through my choice. I ordered the fried snapper, wings, with okra and hush puppies. I have never in my life eaten fried snapper. I always have it like Caribbean style grilled. So I should have had another fish. And to the cashier's credit, when I ordered he said, "you said you want the snapper?" So, I am excited for my next visit to see what the other fried fish tastes like. Hopefully, that isn't their Achilles Heel. They have a sauce they add on the side that is like a version of thousand island. It tastes decent but is unnecessary in my opinion.
