    Soooo fun and soooo tasty! The place is packed for a good reason so make sure you make that reservation! The wait would have been worth it though. Everything tasted so good and there was a good chunk of leftovers so you definitely get your money's worth. The service was also attentive despite how busy they were on that Friday night. The garlic is definitely strong though so be ready for that!

    I've been to a handful of seafood boil places, mostly ones in Lakewood, and I never left impressed. I came here on a whim and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Three of us split two boils and it was more than enough food for us. For sauces we picked Cajun and Garlic Butter. All of my family love garlic, so we are definitely not going to complain about how garlicky both were. To our pallets, it was the perfect amount of garlic and spices. The seafood was really tasty, and the corn and potatoes served along side of them were cooked perfectly and absorbed the delicious sauces wonderfully. The service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend and will be returning and as often as my wallet allows since it is a bit pricey.

    Ooooweee!!! Felt like I was back in Louisiana. The flavor in the boil was on point ! I can be a bit skeptical on seafood in a landlocked state like Colorado but their seafood was fresh! Service was on point ! Solid environment. I ordered the combo #4 boil with sausage included

    If you're looking for a Seafood Boil in Denver, THIS IS THE ONE! I say this emphatically because it was *that good*! Not a single mark missed on quality of service, experience, interior design or taste! Plus, based on my research for options, this is the best price point you can find in this category, with their most affordable boil option being just shy of $35. I ordered the Boil combo 3, which came with crab, shrimp, sausage, and the fixin's. We also ordered the fried oysters and hush puppies to start. Fair warning, portions are massive so you truly don't need appetizers if you get the combos, but we couldn't resist! As a coastal transplant, the crab and shrimp tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. Plus, slathered in that house blend sauce, I'll be dreaming of this experience. I'll definitely be back to try their a la carte menu, especially the blue crab option!!

    I was visiting for work and had a craving for seafood while catching the NBA playoffs. Before arriving, I found two spots near the downtown area that looked promising. I called both, and each assured me they had fresh crawfish. Admittedly, I was skeptical--after all, we're in the mountains and a mile above sea level. Still, their proximity and promise were enough to win me over. When I called CSCS, a young woman answered and confirmed they offered both fresh and frozen crawfish. Upon arrival, the atmosphere was inviting. The bar is well-stocked and spacious, and Game 6 was on--so far, so good. Located on a busy street, I didn't spot much parking, though I imagine options are nearby. There's plenty of bar seating and numerous tables, making it a great place for groups or casual get-togethers. As it turns out, the crawfish were frozen, not fresh, but I love crawfish enough to stick with it. I ordered 2 pounds--spicy--with corn, potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs, all tossed in their house blend sauce. The flavor was bold and garlicky--if you're a garlic lover, you'll be right at home. If you're planning to kiss someone afterward, maybe hold off. Even vampires would keep their distance! All jokes aside, the sauce was genuinely tasty. I personally prefer a bit more heat, but it was still flavorful and satisfying. Service from the young women working on the night of 5/15 was excellent--friendly, attentive, and quick. I washed it all down with a whiskey and a beer. Drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a plus. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the area, stop by and support local--that's exactly why I chose to eat here. I'm just holding back a higher rating due to the confusion about the crawfish being fresh. Transparency matters.

    I love a good seafood boil but this has got to be the best place I've ever been to! The staff were so nice and helpful and the overall vibe of the restaurant was so inviting. This place is definitely going into my monthly rotation of places to visit. Very high quality seafood and definitely on the more affordable side as well. Left incredibly satisfied after. You have to check it out! It's a great date night spot too if you're not afraid to get a little messy :)

    Found this place just looking for a place to eat for my birthday. The food was great. The flavor was perfect! And the food was not over cooked and spice was perfect. The service was great had a party of 8 had to wait a bit for a big party since the place isn't big waitress was nice and order came out. Great display was busy but not crazy since there were only so much seating definitely going again!

    Literally the best seafood boil in Denver, from the service, to the quality! The restaurant was very clean, and everyone was very very friendly. Not only were the flavors perfection but everything was cooked to perfection the shrimp? Slipped out of the shell the crab? Slipped out of the shell. The top of the crab was cleaned out so all of the meat was eatable. 10/10 could not reccomed more.

    Crawfish, green mussels, sausage, clams, corn and Hush Puppies

    10/10 house sauce. Everything was delicious. We got medium spice and it was not too salty/spicy.

    Crab, shrimp and crawfish boil combo
    Danielle H.

    I ordered through Yelp/Doordash and it did not disappoint. The food was ready by the time I got there it was all ready and you pay through the app, so it was super quick and convenient. I loved the fact they had so many different options that you could choose from, some even having three combos. My personal favorite being the crab legs, crawfish and shrimp. If I wasn't eating alone have totally preferred to eat in the restaurant, they have big bay windows to keep things from getting smelly and hot plus the decor was so fun. I will definitely come back again; everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Only thing I wish they would have included in the to go order would be lemons, gloves and a bib. Overall, 4/5 stars. Hoping to make it a full 5 stars after I eat in the restaurant and get the full experience.

    Wow!!! This place is BOMB! The freshest crab I've had in Colorado, with delicious flavors and huge portions! Highly recommend this place on Colfax! The service was amazing; Nitha was great and the vibes we cozy!

    The staff was nice and the drinks were good but the food was mediocre. The sausage in the boils had a very weird taste, almost like it was spoiled. Sadly, we were sick the day after eating here. We don't have plans to return.

The owner was so nice and down to earth. Mr. Henry was very welcoming; he felt like family. My friend and I started with the boudin balls, which tasted more like salmon croquettes, which would have been amazing as croquettes, but as boudin balls, we did not taste rice much at all, and no sauce was served with them. I was desiring some Crawfish ettouffe and they were completely out of that, so i settle for the pasta monica with shrimp, which looked nice, but was way too salty to enjoy. I tried to push through but if I had continue to, it would have burned my tongue. The po boys was great 10/10 the fried catfish was 10/10. fries was 20/10 perfect crisp and softness fillings. hurricane drink was a nice strong & sweetness, a ball was drop when salt was rim vs sugar, but nonetheless it was close to the best. I really want to try that sold out crawfish ettouffe next time i'm here. Thank you Josh for gifting me the blueberry cake that was very sweet!!! I love Mr Henry homemade signature dessert. (Not pictured) Rewards is offered here. military discount is honored here as well. I look forward to returning and exploring the menu; next Colorado visit.

They were both very tasty and the cabbage gave the plate a semblance of health (does have Vitamin C). The chicken is ridiculously good cooked grilled and charred.

I mixed the Mac with the potatoes to give the Mac more flavor. The eggrolls were really good too; I wish they had duck sauce instead of only sweet and sour sauce. It is A LOT of food. I'm going to have leftovers at least for the next few meals. My total came out to around $28. My boyfriend got the same thing as me except he got the cabbage as a side. He said it was the best cabbage and bourbon chicken he's ever had. 10/10 spot.

Hot Louisiana Boudin - If you know, you know. If you don't... Google it. You won't regret it. Jambalaya - Just like their mama made it, in a pot their grandpa used while helping build the Causeway across Lake Pontchartrain. It's giving flavor and history.

And don't get me started on the corn because I'd take a whole plate of just that. The jambalaya also hit the spot (it's my NoLa fave), and for the record... I had my first and last pickle shot.

Crawfish was juicy though and not too tough to peel. I ordered some boudin and the links were a little pricey at $7 for about a 6"-8" link. I believe it was smoked as it was on the drier side. The flavor was there, but could use some more jalapeño and parsley in the filling. All in all, a decent place for cajun seafood in an area that lacks accessibility for it.

Leven Supply was our second stop, but they had been seized by the State due to unpaid taxes! Fortunately Lucile's is right across Alameda Avenue from Leven and we found them humming along at their usual pace. We were greeted by Brad, a particularly friendly, personable, and efficient server and soon seated in the comfortable dining room which features just the right number of New Orleans-themed tchotchkes. My girlfriend ordered Eggs Sardou which features creamed spinach, Gulf shrimp, poached eggs, and Hollandaise. She chose the jalapeño cheese grits. I had Eggs Pontchartrain with pan-fried mountain trout, poached eggs, and Béarnaise plus the plain cheese grits. My girlfriend had never been to Lucile's. She was thrilled with her dish.

It's a thoughtful touch that helps pass the time. The staff are consistently friendly and create a warm and inclusive atmosphere. As for the food - there's a lot to love. The Eggs Sourdou, Pain Perdu, and Bennifer standout. The jalapeño grits are another highlight. On the flip side, the Cajun breakfast with red beans and rice was a bit much- it became overwhelming after a few bites, so I probably wouldn't go that route again. Overall, the food is impressively comparable to what you'd find in New Orleans, which is such a treat to have close to home. With more Creole spots popping up around town, we're excited to explore and compare- but Lucille's has definitely set a high bar. You're in for quite an experience if you order the Sazerac- it's more impressive than any I've had in New Orleans.
